UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Akbarkoe]

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.

In the end Arsenal really dominated and that was quite obvious, i told you and i gave Arsenal a positive outlook, they are an underestimated team and also a little unlucky.
But he has qualities that even a blind person would see, in my opinion he can do good

Arsenal is an unlucky team in the Champions League. They have the strength to compete very well in the Premier League, but in the Champions League they sometimes struggle to stay in the league until the final. Perhaps they will break that curse.

Later, we will watch Copenhagen vs Leverkusen. It seems that this match will be no less exciting because both teams are undoubtedly skilled and capable of advancing to the Champions League. Copenhagen will be the home team in this match, so they will surely be enthusiastic because they will have the full support of the spectators in the stadium. Copenhagen will certainly be embarrassed if they are defeated by Leverkusen.

Leverkusen, despite being the away team, will certainly not give up because they also have good and strong players and will definitely fight hard in the Champions League because they also want to win the Champions League trophy this season and certainly do not want to repeat last season's failure where they did not win the Champions League. It seems like I'll be favoring Leverkusen to win in this match. Do you have any good predictions about this game? Kasper, as Leverkusen's new coach replacing Xabi Alonso, I hope he can lead Leverkusen to perform even better in this season's Champions League.

Personally, I'm not confident in Leverkusen this season. Even though they have a new manager, they haven't been convincing in securing wins. Copenhagen is a strong team, and I think they can beat Leverkusen quite well.

I know the two main games are the Newcaslte Barcelona and the Manchester CIty Napoli, but can you call me crazy because for me the most fun to watch game is gonna be the Eintrach Frankfurt against Galatasaray?

I mean i expect a lot of goals there. Who wants to join the crazy people? 

[giammangiato]

Newcastle United vs Barcelona: Barcelona are the clear favorites. I think they’ll win by 2–3 goals.

Sporting CP vs Kairat: Sporting are the favorites, but Kairat are not an easy opponent. Anything can happen in this match.

Manchester City vs Napoli: This will be a good match, both teams are capable of winning. Let’s see who comes out on top.

And the most important match for me:
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Galatasaray, Galatasaray must win this game. It’s an important match for us and we need these 3 points. Osimhen won’t be playing, which is a loss for us, but the rest of our squad will be available.

As is my wont, I'll play these games strangely, betting only on the high odds and the Barcelona game. I'll obviously bet on Newcastle (I'm sure it's very difficult to predict these results, but trying, in the end, is like picking a scratch card).
It should be noted that Manchester City is coming off a poor football season, so I expect some dramatic results from both sides.

Honestly I didn't see this game being this easy for Bayern, thought Chelsea having a great run of games would put up a good fight and them having a good defensive line..oh well unfortunately the German giants were to good for the them... And now they have a mountain to climb to survive being cut off...

For now Bayern can be considered among the favourites to go far, but let's see how Manchester City plays their game later today .

Chelsea are still not strong enough for the Champions League level, but they have only faced tough teams so far, and it is still possible for a lower-ranked team to win --- it's just that Bayern Munich is too difficult for any team to beat and Chelsea was unable to do so.

Yes, Bayern Munich will remain the favorites to advance further, but in this round they will continue to collect points, and in the next round they must remain consistent.

I’m also anticipating the Barcelona match, because from the odd I feel the game will be very competitive. Well I think Newcastle have a chance in this match, playing at home is always a big advantage, not with the refree but having so much fans motivating you you is always a big advantage.

I would watch the Manchester city match too, it a must watch too. I still don’t have much confidence that Manchester city will beat Napoli in this game, I feel they would struggle to score in this match, well they have that home advantage too so it will help them much.

points of view
It's okay to lose but 4-0 is a real blow
but I repeat I'm already prepared to have a really awful season, as an Atalanta fan, I'm convinced that we won't even return to the Champions League next year
It's a dismantled team, there's little point in hoping for impossible things..

It's understandable that you a talking as an honest fan, that soes not see his team doing well this season, so you will not really be disappointed by most results.
In my opinion I think PSG is the best team in the world right now, so I expect them to win the match against Atlanta and I am not too surprised on the scoreline, because they are a very attacking team and Atlanta are not at their best right now. I hope the coach can go back to the drawing board and try to sort things out. It's still very early in the season and Atlanta can still pick up.

[Adbitco]

The way the Bavarians handled Chelsea from start to finish, I don't think both them and their fans expected such. In the viewing centre where I was watching the match, you could tell from the noise around the environment that it's all Chelsea fans in support of their team then the rival fans were either, Manchester United, Arsenal fans. Chelsea fans were just making noise on how they will beat Bayern Munich and even compared them to PSG. I just asked one Chelsea fan that was making noise beside me, so because you beat PSG means you can do same to Bayern Munich? Do you realise that Chelsea had never won Bayern before? He claimed 2012, keep calm man, it ended in a draw and Chelsea won on penalties. After the third goal, they left one after the other.

I don't see anything surprising about Atalanta's result against PSG. On the one hand, PSG has been a very strong team recently and they are playing attacking football, and they are even in form. On the other hand, Atalanta's form is not good at all and they have not been able to perform well recently, and even as a team they are a weaker team than PSG. So it is natural that Atalanta will lose by a large margin at PSG's home ground. Even for any team, it is difficult to come back with a win at PSG's home ground, and even at home PSG can beat any team by a large margin.

As an Atalanta fan, it is natural to be disappointed after such a defeat. But you have to be realistic. There is still a long way to go until the end of the season, but rather now is the beginning of the season. So Atalanta still has enough time to improve themselves.

For now Bayern can be considered among the favourites to go far, but let's see how Manchester City plays their game later today .

Manchester City will meet Napoli, but the bookie really underestimate Napoli, they're a big underdog. I think Napoli have a chance to win, they haven't lose in Serie A, while Manchester City lose times against smaller teams and won one time.

I’m also anticipating the Barcelona match, because from the odd I feel the game will be very competitive. Well I think Newcastle have a chance in this match, playing at home is always a big advantage, not with the refree but having so much fans motivating you you is always a big advantage.

Surely playing at home do give a big advantage, but Newcastle United have a bad results even though they're playing at their home in Premier League. The surprising thing Barcelona is an underdog in this match, I will definitely bet on Barcelona.

Also KDB facing is old team so a lot of stories can be said about this game but you're right , Napoli shouldn't be underestimate by bookies because I'm sure they are capable of doing a draw against City or even more because after all , they are Serie A champions. 

Barca - Newcastle should be a very competitive game but let's be honest, Barcelona most likely will score at least 3 goals and win the game but I do see Newcastle being able to score aswell.

I just asked one Chelsea fan that was making noise beside me, so because you beat PSG means you can do same to Bayern Munich? Do you realise that Chelsea had never won Bayern before? He claimed 2012, keep calm man, it ended in a draw and Chelsea won on penalties. After the third goal, they left one after the other.

Alot of Chelsea fans usually take that penalty they won Bayern Munich those years to add to the fact that they ones win the club but for me since the match had already ended with both of them equal but were decided through the penalty is not actually winning of major consideration of proving fact about the two teams. Bayern Munich has been quit well on what they hold on Chelsea because I no that they have meet many times after then but still no space for Chelsea to get what they have not genuinely gotten from Bayern Munich and yesterday Bayern Munich was high in pining down Chelsea and getting 3 goals out of them.

Chelsea got what they deserved? Don't you think? Infact sometimes I wonder how Chelsea will possibly think of winning Bayern Munich simply because they thrash Paris Saint-Germain in the club world cup final. Truth be told, Chelsea are no match for Bayern Munich on the ball, we saw with our eyes and how everything played out for bothsides.

Bayern Munich calm the whole Allianz Arena atmosphere with good game, they dominated and came at Chelsea with everything they got and this is what we're talking about, Chelsea can not handle the ball when they're entirely been pressed. Bayern Munich thrashed the Blues, as for me I wasn't surprise because the best outcome was trigger.

[bitgolden]

Majority of people you say? Or you mean to say majority of Chelsea fans? If anyone actually thinks Chelsea was the favourite to win against Bayern Munich yesterday then I must say they're not ready to accept reality but derive their assumptions from the past. I don't expect anything less from what I watched yesterday, personally.

If you have watched Chelsea game recently and also watch bayern Munich recent games, unless you want to bias in your own judgement, you'll agree with me that Chelsea stand no chance against bayern Munich. To cut it short, I don't think Chelsea will go far in this year champions league unless so many things are put in place.

Lol yeah, I was like what the hell? I mean I know Bayern is far better team, just because Chelsea got lucky doesn't mean they are better. This Club world cup win really screwed up with expectations towards Chelsea, but in reality they just beat some simple teams all the way until finals, and at finals they had one good game, but that's it.

PSG and Bayern are normally far superior. Which Bayern showed, it was always obvious that Bayern would win, even odds were showing that. It wasn't really a close game and Bayern did their best, so it's clear that they are better than Chelsea and anyone who thinks that must be a Chelsea fan, or not watched Bayern this season, they have been a dominating team all season long so far.

Mbappe hits 57 UCL Goals, and now he is in the Elite Group. Kylian Mbappe’s strike over Marseille made him to joint-sixth in the Champions League scoring ranks with 57 goals. Real Madrid forward striker now have the same spot with Thomas Muller, and only behind Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Benzema, and Raul.

Because of the new format, all old records will fall within 10-15 years (maximum). Previously, a top team could face a weaker team in the group stage, meaning two easy games; now, it's possible to get three, four, and probably even five easy games in the group stage. Furthermore, the group stage used to have six games, while now it's eight. I'm not downplaying Mbappe's achievements at all (you could say he achieved all of his successes under the old format), but we all need to be prepared for the top to be filled with new names soon.

And now they have a mountain to climb to survive being cut off...

Losing is part of the game but I never imagined a two goal difference in the lead no matter who gets to win the match yesterday. Those two early goals coming from Bayern Munich gave them more strength and confidence and unfortunately, no matter how Chelsea tried to get themselves back into the game, it was too late and Bayern Munich were able to add more goals to secure a comfortable lead.

Chelsea should prepare against their upcoming match against Benfica now, which will be a tough clash. Jose Mourinho has just signed as the new manager of the club and he’ll want to give it a tough fight for a win against his former club Chelsea. Chelsea on the other hand will be looking for a win to better situate themselves in the champions league standings.

Bayern was fully prepared for that match and they played better than Chelsea since they were playing at home. Chelsea shouldn't have allowed two goals deficit without clapping back. However, after the second goal, Palmer was able to cancel on quickly but it didn't make any difference in the game because Bayern doubled their lead not quite long.

Chelsea will be playing Benefica at home which will give them an upper hand to get all three points. Benefica shouldn't be underestimated, Chelsea should play the match as if it's a final match.

[Adbitco]

In 2020/21 season, Chelsea won the Champions League when no one expected them to. Hope you are aware they finished 4th in the league table during that season. When you come out to say something, come out with valid points to why you think Arsenal are not in the title race.

One question for you, have Arsenal won the Premier league before or not? So what other league title they need to win before they should think of winning the UCL they have never won before. Funny enough Arsenal have won a title that no one in the EPL has ever tried to do. The "Invisibles". The only team with the Golden trophy in the Premier League.

So going invisible makes it X10 of the title, it's still counts as one, there's no big deal about it or is there? Let me give you small assignment, go and check the previous winners of either the Champions or the EPL in this case in the last decade and tell what they have that Arsenal doesn't. Let me help you, squad depth apart from squad depth does Arsenal have any a clutch moment player? That one player that can come in and seize the moment when they need just that ONE goal to win a match. Does Arsenal have such a player? Every club no matter how good, usually has moments when they will play everything but no goal is forth coming and that's when that individual brilliance is needed. Does Arsenal have such a player? Don't worry, you will understand better when the season progresses. Like I said earlier, Arsenal has no business with the champions league trophy anytime soon, you can take it to the bank, I said so.

Losing or winning is a part of the game, there is nothing to be disappointed about, PSG is a strong team, they are performing very well this season, it is normal to lose against them. It is true that Atalanta is weaker than PSG, there is still a lot of time left in the season, if they can perform well in the upcoming matches and show some new surprises, then it is expected that they will be able to challenge the big teams in the future. Atalanta still has a lot of time to turn around.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Man City will be hosting Napoli, we might be seeing something similar to what we saw between Juventus vs Dortmund, a clash that reunite KDB and his former teammates and I can't wait for it to start. I'm not expecting Manchester City to be the team that dominate this game from the beginning to the end but for both sides to battle it out 50/50. I expect Napoli to be a stubborn side to make this encounter very hard for the host.
Napoli have to show why they are the champions of the Serie A even if they're not the favorite I think they can get a win in this game depending on how the face the city players. Last time me these two clubs met was back then in 2017 when the champions league wasn't how it is now and City won 2-1 at home and 2-4 away, tonight I'm expecting something different which might go in favor of the visitors.

[Velvet78]

Leverkusen are a disappointment against Copenhagen so far... Still 1-0 behind. I don't understand one thing.

You can score another goal and beat Frankfurt by 3-1 while you are even one man down. But you really can't even have the control of the game against a weaker opponent? Interesting...

By the way what do you say about Frankfurt - Galatasaray?    I feel like Frankfurt won't lose and a draw is quite likely.
