UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Majestic-milf]

Nice win for Manchester City as they won comfortable at home 2:0 is a good way to start their campaign in this year's competition the early red card that Napoli had really affected their performance but as for city two goals with all three points is a good way to kickstart their champions League campaign. Barcelona too also got an important away victory as they won 1:2 against Newcastle.

The red card that Giovanni di Lorenzo got was what ruined Napoli's night because that game would have been hell for Guardiola had all of them being complete. The only attempt Napoli got was a header that Donnarumma stopped from getting in and after that, it was nothing.
 Seriously, the foul that Lorenzo committed was an unnecessary one because Savic was already coming out to block Haaland's ball and even though he would have scored, at least with a complete squad, they would have found a way to come back but instead, Napoli didn't just lose the game, they also went one man down.

Galatasaray started the match well, but conceded some amateurish goals.
I found manager Okan Buruk's comments after the match interesting. He mentioned that his team lost 5-1, but he was the side that had more possession.
Because Frankfurt allowed you to play, you had more possession.
It was a devastating loss, and the next match is against Liverpool in Istanbul. It doesn't matter that the match is in Istanbul, because Liverpool plays top-tier football.
Galatasaray needs to come into that match with a lot of concentration. Otherwise, a major defeat could ensue.

When the Turkish side scored the first goal, I assumed that it would be a competitive match. After few minutes, the tide turned against Galatasaray with the own goal of Davinson Sanchez. Ball possession means nothing in football because what wins matches are goals. Galatasaray's defence was so weak and prone to blunders that they were the cause of the goals. This match has shown that Okan Buruk's is not fit to play in the UCL. They might be the strongest team in Turkey, but their quality is still low when compared to other clubs in this competition.

Nice win for Manchester City as they won comfortable at home 2:0 is a good way to start their campaign in this year's competition the early red card that Napoli had really affected their performance but as for city two goals with all three points is a good way to kickstart their champions League campaign. Barcelona too also got an important away victory as they won 1:2 against Newcastle.

At their home stadium, Manchester City did not give Napoli too much chance and the guest only made some attacks in first 15 minutes of the match before completely focusing on defense. Manchester City controlled and dominated this match while they wasted many opportunities to score goals. 2 - 0 is still a humble result for the host as they actually could win much bigger.

The red card that Giovanni di Lorenzo got was what ruined Napoli's night because that game would have been hell for Guardiola had all of them being complete. The only attempt Napoli got was a header that Donnarumma stopped from getting in and after that, it was nothing.
 Seriously, the foul that Lorenzo committed was an unnecessary one because Savic was already coming out to block Haaland's ball and even though he would have scored, at least with a complete squad, they would have found a way to come back but instead, Napoli didn't just lose the game, they also went one man down.

This defender is very experienced but he must stop that attack from Haaland and he did not intend to make a foul. Just tackling a little bit later and he touched Haaland rather than the ball, so it's a red card but he already tried his best to save Napoli from a goal. That situation is very quick and Lorenzo had to make super quick decision, it's unlucky for him. After that red card, Napoli completely played defensively with hope of getting one point from Manchester United but they fell down in a second half under too big pressure created by Manchester City.

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.

Your prediction wasn't too far off, as the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Of course, if Hitzidiakos hadn't scored an own goal, Copenhagen could have won the match. But in my opinion, both teams played well in that match because both teams really played well and attacked each other. Unfortunately, I favored Leverkusen in the bet and unfortunately I lost the bet in that match and ended up losing money. Copenhagen, as the home team, failed to win, but fortunately they didn't lose. If they had lost, it would have disappointed their supporters.

Of course, in the next match, Copenhagen will play against Qarabag. Qarabag cannot be taken lightly because in their last match, Qarabag managed to defeat Benfica. In this match, I am confused about whether to bet on Qarabag or Copenhagen. What do you think?
Leverkusen will face PSV in the next match, which will surely be exciting, and both teams will certainly try their best to win. However, I have a feeling that Leverkusen will be able to beat PSV because I saw PSV lose to Union Saint in their first match. I think I will favor Leverkusen to win that match. What do you think?

The defeat in the bet is a natural thing, everyone must experience it, but you are also not too missed in predicting even though you don't get a victory, a draw in the match beyond my prediction too, but Leverkusen has a very good improvement with his new coach, it shows that they have risen, even though we cannot measure how much changes in the next fight.

To fight Qarabag I think Copenhagen has its strength, Qarabag does have unexpected power because it can defeat Benfica quite well, and Leverkusen against PSV today I am still doubtful, but worth trying.

A little suggestion if you are hesitant to bet better not at all, it's far better than forcing yourself.

Wow, just wow, if their is one thing I love about Mbappe is the ability to score goals, he doesnt just score but every time he always want to score. He is an incredible player with so much ability, the way he always uses his speed to make a difference in the pitch is mind blowing.

Every time he steps on the pitch he always want to make difference and that what will keep him as a top Player for a long time, he joined Real Madrid last season and we have seen how he is already carrying Real Madrid on his shoulder already.

If he continues with this numbers I believe he will archive so much at Real Madrid especially when they win trophies. He is doing good this season already and Real Madrid are also doing good so let see how he ends this season.

It's no coincidence that Real Madrid bought him, I dare say. He's a complete player but above all he's hungry for goals, he always wants to score as you say and this obviously makes him an attractive striker in demand on the market and by teams.
Honestly, you can't complain about Real Madrid.

Yet another Manchester United outcast showed up in the biggest stage of european football last night and stole the show in front of England national team coach Thomas Tuchel. A player that Manchester United were chasing to leave the club and they sent on loan. I wonder if Jim Ratcliff and Amorim were able to sleep well last night after seeing Rashford performance. Am so happy to Rashford that he has gone to where his talent will be nutrued back. You can from his face that he's enjoying life and football in Barcelona.

[amihada]

Barcelona played great in their opening match and won this match to collect important points. Marcus Rashford played a great game in this match, he scored two goals for Barcelona and because of this goal, the home team won this match. This season, Barcelona has brought in good players to gain more advantages and they are fighting with excitement from the beginning to stay high in the Champions League. I think this season will be more competitive as each team has brought in good star players to keep their team in high position. When strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich face each other, the matches will definitely be more exciting against each team.

Barcelona kicked off their first Champions League game of the season with a win at one of England toughest stadiums. Barcelona success was achieved through the English player who was just recruited in the last transfer window, Rashford scored two special goals to help his team get three important points in the Champions League and also opened his goal coffers for Barcelona this season.

In general, Barcelona was able to control the game in the second half with short one-two passes, this tactic made it very difficult for Newcastle players to catch up. Hansi Flick managed to get his players to perform as expected, they appeared very enthusiastic from the start of the match, the result was well deserved for their great performance.

Galatasaray I must say was very poor with their performance, it doesn’t really matter how you started a match but what matters is how you perform in 90 minutes and the performance was absolutely very poor I must say, sometimes we must know that possession doesn’t really matter in football, that is why it’s important to be more interested in playing and winning games, they will be facing a Liverpool team in their next game that is a very strong opponent, who are very direct in their style of play, definitely Galatasaray will have the home advantage because of their home fans but the game would be very interesting to watch considering that Liverpool are a very good side, I will have to see what the Okan Buruks come up with in his game plan.

In football, it's not about gaining possession and playing well but by scoring goals because that's what the game is all about. Let's see the club that can score more goals to win the game. No matter how the goals came in, a goal is a goal. Galatasaray manager should go amd sit down instead of talking without shame. We all know that Turkish Clubs do put up a poor performance in European competitions.

As expected, Galatasaray lose in Champions League.

Super Lig and Ligue 1 are in different level, Galatasaray dominating in Super Lig, but they're nothing in Champions League. While PSG dominating in Ligue 1, but they can compete in Champions League because their players are from top countries.

Many amateur mistakes they did are because of their "possession", they're avoid long ball even they're not in safe position, they want to control the ball even though it's risky.

[m4r1o]

The Champions League is the most exciting league and is full of surprises, especially since it's still so early in the season, and a loss for a team like Chelsea could make a difference in their performance in future matches against different opponents. I also admit that Bayern Munich is quite strong at the moment, but in the Champions League, every team should be considered strong because those who underestimate their opponents always lose in the end. We can see from last season that Liverpool and Inter Milan were considered the favorites to win the title, but in the end, PSG won the title even though they were not favored by many people in the league format before entering the round of 16.

Yes, in fact, you never know what can happen, these are strong teams that can really work miracles, when they all find themselves almost in the final or close to it, there is the possibility that they transform themselves and manage to do things that you didn't think were possible.

I was surprised seeing Galatasaray losing with this much goals. This game was a game I didn't know exactly how it'll end but I didn't expect this much goals to be in the game. The first half saw 4 goals and the second half saw only 2 goals therefore the first half would had been more entertaining than the second half but I didn't watch the match so I can't say for sure but it was disappointing seeing Galatasaray losing with this much goals. I hope they'll be able to bounce back in their next game because them losing their early will kick them out of the champions league so fast but I don't want that to happen as I want them to keep playing until further stages.

You are right, Frankfurt played a lot of mental games with Galatasaray. The strategy that Frankfurt adopted makes it easy to trap the opponent. In this strategy, they have the ball most of the time in the match but the opponent has complete control. With the ball at their feet, they repeatedly play horseplay in the free area but have no chance to score. Instead, the opponent team takes the ball away and attacks desperately when they get a chance. Which looks like an unfortunate goal. But the team that doesn't have the ball at their feet is in control of the whole match.

Frankfurt did exactly the same thing with Galatasaray. The ball was at Galatasaray's feet most of the time in the match, but Frankfurt attacked with the ball and scored when they got the chance.

So Galatasaray should change their style of play now. If they don't change their style of play, they could face a bigger defeat in the Champions League. If they can put pressure on the opponent as soon as they get the ball, they will be able to perform well in the league now. And they should change their tactics and avoid risky possession plays.

[moneystery]

Agreed, that's why I bet on Barcelona, and I was right about it. Marcus Rashford scored twice in the second half, securing the win for both the team and my bet.
...

Rashford played very well in yesterday's match. He was able to replace Yamal, and scored two goals at once, and managed to give Barcelona a win at Newcastle. This is a good thing for him, because all this time Amorim said that he needed to improve his game to save his career, but after yesterday's match, Rashford immediately proved Amorim wrong. He is worthy, it's just that there is something wrong with Manchester United.

Well yesterday Barcelona was playing away from home not at home, indeed Rashford had a good game yesterday, though before the goals he was struggling but after scoring the first goal he gain more confidence and he got a second one. Barcelona performance was a good one yesterday, they all did well but can still say that they missed Lamine yamal, there is no much flair in their game unlike when yamal is playing.

Well big test are coming as Barcelona will face PSG and will not face Bayern Munich but Chelsea instead. It going to be an interesting game but let take it a game at a time as they will host gatafe at home this Sunday.

Galatasaray did not play well against Frankfurt yesterday, and even if Galatasaray has more possession, it does not mean that they played well because they did not win the match and conceded five goals, Galatasaray score an opening goal in the match and they end up losing the game, a poor performance from Galatasaray, and they should consider themselves lucky that this is not the knockout stage of the competition; otherwise, there is nothing they can do to qualify for the next round.

Barcelona defeat Newcastle and prove that they can win a match without Yamal, both teams played well because Newcastle played with confidence of ending the match draw, but thanks to Rashford, who stepped up and scored two goals for Barcelona, Rashford's performance was superb, and from that performance, I will say that Manchester United is the problem because any player who leaves Manchester United always plays well in another team, Barcelona should sign Rashford permanently on January transfer window or next summer.

When it comes to champions league, there are a few names that are going to be almost sure to win it. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG. These four teams have dominated all other European clubs in past decade. Real Madrid is also the team with most champions league trophy.
English teams do give a good competition but they are nowhere to be seen when it comes to finals or winning the title.
Just like last year, the league stage of champions league is going to be a long one and won't have much significance as all the important elimination happens in knock out stage while the league just weeds out placeholder teams.

[Kaliandra]

Manchester City really performed well in their first match of the season. Of course, Napoli is a strong opponent and, of course, they are the team that won the Scudetto last season in Serie A. However, Napoli was ultimately defeated by Manchester City with a score of 2-0. Manchester City dominated possession and played exceptionally well, delighting their fans both inside and outside the stadium. It was unfortunate that Napoli failed to score a single goal in the match. Erling Haaland and Doku were the heroes for Manchester City in this game.

On the other hand, Napoli was truly unlucky because Di Lorenzo committed a foul on Haaland, resulting in a red card. This undoubtedly impacted Napoli's strength, preventing them from performing at their best. Now, Napoli must truly improve their strength. However, Napoli still has a good chance in the upcoming matches.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Before the match began, PSG, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool, and Man City were indeed more favored, and it proved true as they managed to secure full points. Meanwhile, in my opinion, Liverpool defensive line is more concerning than Barcelona, as they have conceded 6 goals in their last five matches, while Barcelona have only conceded 4.

Barcelona was not “favored”

Just check out the odds, for some reason, the actually thought Newcastle had an upper hand. Maybe because Barcelona had a few players who were injured, but yes, bookmakers actually looked at Newcastle as the favorites.

I didn't take a good look at the live odds before now, but this is just boring.... How could they think Newcastle were the favourite in that game when they already gave out their key players/goal scorer to Liverpool? They were only able to secure a spot to play in the champions league because they had a setup of players with a responsive version of play.

Unless it's just one of those tricky odds that casinos make to discourage people from considering Barca to win, that was trash from their ends.

This is a good thing for him, because all this time Amorim said that he needed to improve his game to save his career, but after yesterday's match, Rashford immediately proved Amorim wrong. He is worthy, it's just that there is something wrong with Manchester United.

Everyone can see that Manchester United's players are actually good and have potential, but they are sometimes in the wrong formation, which prevents them from getting accurate passes when they are up front. This makes the Manchester United players seem incapable of playing, when in fact, they only need encouragement and good teamwork to score beautiful goals in big matches, like Rashford did in the Champions League for Barcelona. So, that's fantastic evidence of Rashford's ability to be a good team player.
