UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Mustang Shelby]

Chelsea not doing great at premier league while winning CWC is proof that tournaments and leagues are very very different structures. Like if City played in a league, do you really think they would end up lower than Al Hilal? Of course not, but when it's just one game, they could lose as we have seen. That is why it's clear tournaments and leagues are vastly different and while the first part of UCL is group, so it's like a league stage, it is also obvious that we are seeing rest of it being very unpredictable as well.

I sincerely believe there will be a day where the teams will face all of each other, instead 8 games, we will have 35 games, and leagues will be forced to lower their game count. Money is becoming huge, and you can't afford this without having a lot of games.

I loved it that this game ended this way, I am looking forward to Manchester United building some level of confidence from this point and also bringing in consistency along side. As for Chelsea I believe it was an unlucky day for them starting from the red card that came in very early, it affected their performance so I still  believe they are still in a good form so they are going to still make up for it in subsequent games this seasons.

Chelsea haven't been able to shake off the complacency of winning the CWC trophy before the start of the year. They've had poor results in numerous matches. The team that crushed Paris Saint-Germain in the final is nowhere to be found. I had high expectations for Chelsea, but I don't think we should have too high expectations.

Apparently, many players in Manchester do not find a favourable environment in which to express their abilities well. Marcus Rashford is not the first, nor the only one. Antony had the same problem. At Manchester, he did not express his qualities to the fullest, but at Betis, he seemed reborn.
So I assume that in the Manchester United dressing room, the conditions are not immediately there to put players at ease.

If this is the problem that many Manchester United players are facing, then it is a very serious issue they’re going to be dealing with there. Marcus Rashford has been showing a great performance at his new club and he infact won the opening goal for the team in the champions league game opener and the two goals in that match came from them both.

Manchester United should make it favorable for the players to enjoy their stay in the team, or they will not see good results from them which will affect their overall performance as a team in the competition. I remember the case of Antony too, he did better at Real Betis when he joined them than the times he spent playing  at Manchester United. Rashford continues showing is best form in the champions league and beyond to the La Liga games too, he’s doing exceptionally just fine in his new club.

It turned out that everyone who leaves Man Utd plays at their best possible level. Antony, Rashford, and McTominay have shown that, and i don’t even need to mention more. Man Utd will surely regain the old glory it once had, the only question is when. As long as there are wrong transfers and a bad atmosphere in the club, none of that will happen.

You're correct we may attribute Napoli's losing to their red but what about chelsea, am sure you're aware of their result against Manchester United yesterday, I don't think they have even started, how would they lose to Manchester United, a club that we all know that is such presently class allowwd them to win just because of 1 red, so Chelsea can not defend the match or even win the match as the case may be just because of 1red card given to just one player, Chelsea has not started the season, they are still joking, the team is not in good shape, the results validates that, I will not make any excuse for Chelsea just because of red card, don't be surprised that if that same card was given Manchester United player may Chelsea would have not win the match.

Maresca was too quick to substitute all of the attackers, he gave up in the match too early. After Casemiro got the red card, if Chelsea was still having those attackers, the match would have ended in a worse result a draw. The fault started from the changes, this was a mistake from Maresca and better he learns his lesson from the match, consecutive losses for Chelsea isn't what was thought about them for the season after successful CWC.

It was difficult to predict that Manchester United would receive a red card. Naturally, I think Maresca made the right moves. When Manchester United received a red card, the match was evenly matched between the two teams, but the winner remained the same. Manchester United, who had taken a 2-0 lead, won the match 2-1. Chelsea fought back, but the score remained the same.

The competition between these two teams is always very interesting to watch...Manchester united is currently struggling but still managed to beat chelsea, although there are some factors that contributed to Chelsea's loss, the red card is one of them...Manchester united has a problem of playing very well against a big team but they become very careless when they compete against a small team

You think he made the right or wrong move? Left for me it was a wrong move cause he was too quick in taking of players that would've helped Chelsea equalize when the game became even due to Casemiro's red card. Chelsea were even lucky to score cause Chalobah's goal was a free header and nobody marked him.

but surely the environment where you are has a big influence on changing the motivations and performances of the player who until now was not happy and it was evident, then the club was not able to keep him in the team and this led him to leave and play with another club

Who are you referring to as leaving?
If you're talking about a player named Marcus Rashford, consider his status at Barcelona. He was only loaned to Barcelona to fill in for a specific role this season. Moreover, at Manchester United, he was no longer relied upon as often and began to lose when he lost to another team in any match. Meanwhile, at Barcelona, ​​I see him returning to fighting with enthusiasm, which could change his career for the better, even before his loan to Barcelona.

At Barcelona, ​​he's been given time and opportunity, fully trusted by Hansi Flick, and enjoys a supportive environment with a high winning rate. So, inevitably, he'll have to fight hard to establish himself here, as he's currently only on loan.

Rashford's performance at Barcelona has improved significantly after the first few matches he's played. He's adapted quickly, and in just one week, Rashford has already delivered two goals and two assists.

The biggest issue were his varying performances from game to game. As a coach you never knew what to expect and on this level, this is understandably unacceptable. I agree that even top players can have a bad day, but they play more than 50% of the season below expectations, that's reason enough to get rid of him. No top player would be a top player if it wasn't for consistency.

To be honest, things are very different now Chelsea, who in my opinion should have crushed a MU that had been playing very badly, let themselves be beaten, This is unbelievable The winner of the Club World Cup let themselves be beaten by the worst MU of all time They really should make this their top priority to see what is going on. It is not possible for something like this to happen again.

In the first week of the Champions League, I think it's quite intense. Several matches didn't go as we expected. Furthermore, Frankfurt unexpectedly topped the standings. PSG followed in second place, and Brugge came in third. So, I think this result is a bit unexpected, as it's the underdogs who currently occupy the top five positions in the Champions League standings. What's even more surprising is that several big teams are currently stuck at the bottom of the standings, such as Atletico Madrid, Napoli, and Chelsea. But with that in mind, I think the Champions League will be much more exciting. This makes it difficult to predict which team will truly advance to the next round. Furthermore, the competition is sure to be very intense. Hopefully, this situation continues, and I also hope that this season there will be a dark horse team that can truly surprise us all in the Champions League.

It's very sad and regrettable that Enzo maresca isn't mature enough to react properly when his team is under pressure because this is a game Chelsea would have won if he had managed the red card properly. After the red card came, he started making stupid decisions by removing all the attacking threat that was in this Chelsea team, and that wasn't enough, everyone was expecting him to bring in garnacho in the beginning of the second half since it's now 10 against 10, but he stupidly brought George and gusto instead , and that was the reason they lost that game because Manchester united were just like a clueless 🐑 sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but their was no attacking threat from Chelsea, they were left of the hook, so it was the manager of Chelsea that made them to lose this game because his reaction to the red card was just too poor for an elite manager.

Seriously what a poor decision was that?.. Maresca really cost Chelsea in the game with those silly subs he made. A good coach should see when an opponent is there to be beaten.

From all indication, Chelsea were obviously the favorite to win the game. That decision not to have brought in garnacho, an attacking minded player in the game really felt like a missed opportunity to Chelsea especially when both teams became down to 10 men. Well, he later explained his reasons why he left him on the bench.

Initially, I thought he was trying to prevent him from getting booed by Man United fans, but he said it was because Fofana asked to subbed out. I was really hoping to see Garnacho in the game because he knows Man United better. He could have caused a lot of troubles for them.

To achieve a record like Cristiano Ronaldo, one must be a player like Cristiano Ronaldo and a player must be very strong physically. If we look at Cristiano Ronaldo's football career, Ronaldo has been out of the field due to injury for very little time. He is a strong player, that is why he has consistently ruled European football. Erling Haaland may have the potential to achieve like Ronaldo. Erling Haaland's injury probability is very low and he is a strong player, as well as his finishing skills, he has enough football skills. However, the way Ronaldo used to score free kicks, score goals with bicycle kicks and also score goals with his head, Erling Haaland must improve all those skills.
If Erling Haaland can score free kicks like Cristiano Ronaldo, then I think he can be like Ronaldo and touch Ronaldo's records.

Ronaldo in his career has created a benchmark that will be difficult to match. There is no doubt that Haaland has potentials and is a goal scoring machine but to match Ronaldo’s achievements feels impossible, he might be able to score goals and match numbers but to do what Ronaldo has done and matching his impact on the game is impossible so let’s not go there and let Haaland do his thing please.

SatoPrincess you are very correct it is impossible for Haaland to achieve the numbers of goals Ronaldo has achieved in history you can't even compare him to Ronaldo, Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and I don't even think anyone can break the record of numbers of goals he has scored so far no one is even close and no one can get to that point I think that record can't be broken by anyone till now I'm still surprised and shocked each time I see the numbers of goals Ronaldo has scored since he started football, Haaland should never be compared to Ronaldo because comparing Ronaldo and Haaland is an insult to Ronaldo's achievement before we can be comparing Holland to Ronaldo at least Holland should get close to the numbers of goals Ronaldo has.
Just like you said SatoPrincess Haaland should just do his thing and enjoy because comparing their two is something I don't find funny.

[SatoPrincess]

Neuer and Muller is still very much active and will definitely break Ronaldo's record of most individual win in the competitions all time record either this season or next season. His been out of any European team for some years now and he still holds that record which I think is still incredibly great but sonner or later his going to be displaced by these two Bayern Munich great players.

With Muller currently playing in the MlS his chances of overtaking this record is slim until he returns to Europe but as for Neuer his chances are more to overtake. If Neuer stays with Bayern Munich past this season he will certainly surpass this record.

I feel that someone just started watching football, if not why will he compare Haaland with a legend in football. Or does he think that football is only about scoring goals, what about titles won, golden boots and many other achievements. Have Haaland won Ballon d'or. Infact, Haaland is not in Ronaldo class. Only Messi can be compared with Ronaldo.

His been out of any European team for some years now and he still holds that record which I think is still incredibly great but sonner or later his going to be displaced by these two Bayern Munich great players.

They will certainly break it but however if Ronaldo was still in the champions League he would have still continue to raise the record because one thing I no much about him during his appearances in the champions League is that any club he is doesn't go backward because he usually get the outcome he expected even if they did not win champions League all the time so actually is very common and normal for another player to beat this record as he is no longer challenging for it, Neuer will definitely beat Muller because of the club he is keeping for because Bayern Munich is thick on this champions League.

Rashford has definitely become an important player for Barcelona. Incidentally, he started yesterday's match against Getafe on the bench and only came on in the second half, but that was enough for him to score an assist on Olmo. Flick has a very good squad, and I think this should work well throughout the season. If he can properly rotate his players, all his key players won't be overworked, and even in the event of injury, he'll have an equivalent replacement, as is the case now, when Yamal's absence is barely noticeable.

Only Messi can be compared with Ronaldo.

A very strong point you have made, making a comparison between Haaland and Ronaldo sounds like such person obviously is not really inclined in football or maybe untill Ronaldo is retired before he will consider him a legend not to be compared with the likes of Haaland?. These two players are not and will never be on same levels, they are even in different eras of football history and even with the level of impact each has made, it cannot be equated enough for a good comparison.
