UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Jegileman]

Bayern Munich have a good history in the Champions League and they're really trying to maintain it by being one of the toughest club in the competition. They started so well in the Champions league and with the strength of their squad this season I believe that they'll do well in the Champions League this season.

Their first match against a top team like Chelsea ended in victory for them. I see them going to do well this season like they’ve always done in the past. Putting in more efforts than before can see them through to the final stage of the competition, they just need to remain strong and competitive for all top teams to find it difficult to defeat. We may still be in the group stage fixtures, but you can tell some teams already with their fixtures that they’ll make it to the knockout phase of the competition. The champions league is a tough competition but no matter the situation, some teams always find their way through and make it far in the competition.

The bookmakers are always making use of the current hype and the situation of the players and the capacity of the team they will be playing against, that is why they rated Liverpool far far ahead of Galatadaray and in this case, I think the bookmaker check the intensity of the competition in their respective domestic leagues; since Premier League is one of the toughest, league in the world and Liverpool leading the table have advantage over any team since they have good squad.

I don’t have much confidence on m Galatasaray either, but playing at home will give them motivation, and if they played well, they can also have something yo prove because this they have good players now and they are also trying to get points in the match. I will prefer a draw as an outcome of this match.

A draw may be very difficult to see as the outcome of this game. Liverpool is far more superior than Galatasaray in all ramifications, just maybe the home advantage will give Galatasaray some motivation in this game, but I don’t see them doing anything exceptional against a top team like Liverpool. Liverpool needs to be able to overcome any tough fixture they have in this group stage fixtures, so Galatasaray should be a victorious game for them.

The bookmakers have given the right odds to who is most deserving in this encounter and I’m of more confidence in the odds given by them to be the outcome of this game. Many things are put in place before they give out this odds, so they’ve likely predicted the actual outcome of this game. In this game, the clear difference between the Turkish league and the premier league will be noticed.

Bayern Munich is looking very stronger than before against Chelsea you could see how they didn't let Chelsea get another chance when they were at 2:1 before making it 3:1 it all shows you how prepared they are this season and if they maintain that level of form they can get to the finals that's if they defeat the opponents they will come across. The champions League this season will have a very tough competition teams like Real Madrid is back to top form it's going to be difficult to see a different team winning it this season.

With Liverpool boasting such high-quality players, I don't think Galatasaray has much of a chance. Galatasaray makes too many mistakes in defense. We saw this in the Frankfurt match. Frankfurt missed more chances, but Liverpool's players don't miss such opportunities. I think Liverpool will probably win this match, as it's a sure thing in the Champions League. The Tottenham match is uncertain because they're better this year and could win.

Actually I agree with you and I'm sure almost everyone agrees that Liverpool is the favorite team in this match but I'm kind of wondering why the Bookies aren't too confident in Liverpool, we can see this indication from the odds offered by sportsbooks the odds are only 1.67 for Liverpool I think it should be under 1.5 well, that means the bookies predict that Liverpool will only win with a low score or even a draw. We also highlighted Liverpool's poor defense in their last match against Atletico Madrid I mean conceding 2 goals at home is really not impressive.

I often see popular matches with favorite clubs given odds of over 1.7, but they still win.
If we think about it, Liverpool's odds do seem high for a team that could win, but in my opinion, that doesn't mean the bookmakers aren't confident in Liverpool's performance; they're also considering Galatasaray's experience.
In fact, I wouldn't hesitate even if you said Liverpool's defense was poor, but I would still bet on Liverpool because Galatasaray's recent results were worse than Liverpool's.

[EL MOHA]

Yeah, last season both PSG and Barcelona had great performances in the Champions League, but unfortunately they had no chance to face each other, and now this season they're going to face each other in the second round of the UCL. We should be expecting good results from them, because I’m sure their match will be an interesting one to watch. Nobody knows yet which team will be the favorite to win, as both of them are in good form, and again football is unpredictable, but normally this kind of game always end in a draw, so definitely one thing must happen is either a draw or a win.

It would have a been a perfect champions league match which most people were already anticipating for but the resilience of Inter Milan actually stopped that game coming which will have been a befitting final and we will not have been asking who will be the better side if any of them had faced, one thing I think would have been different is the final I don’t think we would have gotten that huge number of goals that the PSG actually scored past inter Milan.

For me I think this current season both team are having mixed performance and are not the same as they were last season and I don’t think this game will be used to actually justify what could have happened last season. Right now though I think both teams seems to have their injury problems which seems even now, Demeble and Doue are absentees while Raphinha and Goalkeeper Garcia are also out, but Yamal is back to the team which is good boast for them

Let's be realistic Haaland can't maintain his fitness like Cristiano Ronaldo did over the years, at some point he'll get weaker, it's beginning to tell even quicker than we expected. The wonderful things Ronaldo is still doing at this age should make people realise that he's a great player and that legacy he's kept would last for a very long time maybe someone in the future might break that record but not Haaland, no i don't think it's him.

You're right, Haaland isn't a player with those characteristics, but it's because he doesn't have CR7's discipline, but he has the body, he has the resilience, he can do it. It's a matter of his mentality changing and being like CR7's, and that's something quite difficult , every player has their own style.

I am puzzled because how can anyone know what Haaland's discipline looks like. He isn't a drinker, he is working out all the time, he always seems focused. He loves big cards (like Ronaldo), he is far more down to earth compared to Ronaldo, he is Norwegian and Ronaldo got lucky that he is Portuguese because otherwise he would have never won the European Championship.

If you read this post from the officlal UEFA website, I would like to discuss with you again how Haaland can't do what Ronaldo did. Haaland was the youngest and fastest (fewest appearances) player to reach 20 goals, 30 goals, 40 goals, 50 goals.

KTChampions I didn't mean you here because I quoted you. I was referring to the clueless guy called GiftedMAN.

We also highlighted Liverpool's poor defense in their last match against Atletico Madrid I mean conceding 2 goals at home is really not impressive.

I mean, it's a no-brainer. Galatasaray is at home, and they can decide to become chaotic on a good day in front of their fans. Those who have watched the past UCL matches where Galatasaray is at home can attest to this. 1.67 odd for Liverpool is more than justified and if I was to bet on a Liverpool win, I would probably do it somewhere with in the match once the odd hits around 2 at least. Now that is worth risking.

Overall, Bayern Munich certainly looks more convincing this season. I think that's because Kompany has gained enough experience, besides the fact that he's built better squad depth than last season. The win against Chelsea confirms that Bayern Munich is ready to be a title contender, even though we know the competition will never be easy. I think this season Bayern Munich will successfully finish in the top eight of the League Phase standings and easily advance to the Round of 16.

This team has always been a title contender, even though the facts sometimes suggest otherwise. Kompany's increasing experience facing competition in bigger competitions has given him more confidence based on his performance and the growing quality of his players. The win against Chelsea may not be the only reason they have a chance to compete for the title, but it emphasizes that Bayern Munich's current strength is even better than before.

[Lidger]

Well, for those who like to take risks, betting on Benfica isn't bad, considering that they want to win now and they want to do it in the best possible way. If they win against Chelsea, it will be quite a feat, even if I was looking at the odds and they don't seem to be that unbalanced.

I would say betting on Benfica is the highest risk of money. Chelsea lost to Manchester United, so maybe that's why many bettors think that if they bet on Benfica, they can win there, but I think Chelsea will definitely leave the field with full points in this Champions League match. The match Chelsea played against Manchester United was their Premier League match, but the match against Benfica is a Champions League match and we have seen that Chelsea always performs well in the Champions League. Betting is a personal matter for the bettors and I will bet on Chelsea with some money and I believe that Chelsea will win and the result of the bet will be in my favor.

buddy I don't see betting on benfica as a highest  risk of money, because this is football and you never can tell what will happen in this match between Chelsea and benfica so anything can happen, Chelsea lost to Manchester united few days ago in the premier League match, which a lot of Chelsea fans out there decided the faith of Chelsea before the match day, but it happens that things went the other way round and Manchester united won that match. Normally Chelsea always perform very well in the champion's league no doubt, but there are no guarantees that Chelsea will leave that field with three points. And if I am to place a bet on that match I we say any side can win, because I can't give Chelsea direct win, talk more of giving benfica direct win. So gamble wisely because this is football anything can happen buddy.

Unexpected events can happen once or twice, I think the result Chelsea ended the match with against Manchester United was an unexpected result and unexpected events do not happen again and again. After losing against Manchester United, Chelsea must have worked on their mistakes and they will play at their best against Benfica. If we consider the strength of the team, then Chelsea will definitely be a lot more cautious than Benfica. Since the team has good players and they are performing well, I will always be in favor of Chelsea winning.
I think Chelsea can win this match by a margin of three goals to one.

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.

Sooner Neuer easily reached Cristiano Ronaldo record but likely bit difficult reach it for this season, have 15 matches left remaining with Cristiano Ronaldo record and Neuer have played one match in Champion League this season. For Muller have been over since leaving Bayern Munich and likely not any opportunity yet return back to Bayern or joining with other European team who participants at Champion League. For phase league round have 7 matches left and if Bayern can win all matches I think still have 8 matches left to reach Ronaldo record, but excited with Neuer will reach Ronaldo record in this year or have waiting for next season if still stay with Bayern Munich.

Neuer still the main goal keeper for Bayern Munich and not difficult for him break Ronaldo's record if not get injury, in other side Bayern still in the top perform and not difficult for winning all phase league round matches in Champion League.

With the sudden transformation of Bayern Munich by Vincent Kompany, I am rooting for Neuer to break Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League record because before Neuer will retires, Bayern Munich will win more than 15 Champions League matches, which will allow Neuer to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo as the person that has won the most matches in the Champions League.

It is very possible to achieve by Neuer but how sure are you that he won't seek a transfer? Vincent Kompany is doing a great job in the team and I didn't see that level of expertise coming from someone like Vincent Kompany  even though he was good as a player but not all good players make better coaches like he is doing. Could it be due to his experience as team captain before retirement? I guess that Neuer is very lucky and if he doesn't allow greed or personal unfounded reasons to lure him into going on transfer to a weaker team, he would break that Ronaldo's record. Champions League has begun, so let's see how far he can go before either they get knocked out or they lift the trophy.

[Mayor of ogba]

In this case, we have to agree that Cristiano Ronaldo is far better than some other players, because since his era ended, almost no player has been able to win so many matches. Cristiano Ronaldo's record is still quite good, and perhaps Neuer has the most potential to approach that record because he's still actively playing. For some new players, it might be difficult to reach this record because the club's dominance is not nearly as strong as it once was. Neuer only needs 15 matches to match Cristiano Ronaldo's record, and although it's difficult, he's one of the most likely to equal it in the next few years.

Other players can get to that number if they stay consistent playing on the champions league for atleast 10 years just as Ronaldo was constantly playing. Players like Haaland are some of the players I think can be Abel to beat Ronaldo at some of his record on f he stays consistent for atleast 10 years playing at top level the same way Ronaldo was. With the high numbers of games that the champions league now has, some of those records are just a matter of time before someone breaks it. Neuer can also break it anytime soon if he plays most of the matches this season and advance to close to the finals.

It will be difficult for players to break Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League record of most goals. If Haaland is consistent in scoring goals in the Champions League, he's the only player that can possibly break the record for now, but I still believe it will be difficult for Haaland to achieve it even though he plays in the Champions League for 10 years with an elite team, because he needs to score at least 8 goals in each of the Champions Leagues he will play in the next 10 years to be able to break the record, which I think will be difficult for him to do because age will reduce his scoring ability.

[Ahli38]

Let's be realistic Haaland can't maintain his fitness like Cristiano Ronaldo did over the years, at some point he'll get weaker, it's beginning to tell even quicker than we expected. The wonderful things Ronaldo is still doing at this age should make people realise that he's a great player and that legacy he's kept would last for a very long time maybe someone in the future might break that record but not Haaland, no i don't think it's him.

You're right, Haaland isn't a player with those characteristics, but it's because he doesn't have CR7's discipline, but he has the body, he has the resilience, he can do it. It's a matter of his mentality changing and being like CR7's, and that's something quite difficult , every player has their own style.

So far I haven't been able to find a player who has the same strict discipline as Ronaldo. And I think Haaland is very different when compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, where Ronaldo's discipline has been ingrained in him since long ago and even passed down to his family (Source). And I don't see the same discipline in Haaland at all. And I think Adama Traore has better discipline than Haaland. So I'm not sure anyone can break Ronaldo's record as it requires a really great mindset and even great consistency in building the same discipline. Other than this we could also see that Ronaldo will make the 1000 goals in the near future.

Bayern is great at UCL as well, they had like a years long run for not losing a single game at group stages of UCL for example, which is great for them. It is clear that we are not seeing that much from this that changed, it's clearly what we really needed. This is why I believe that nothing will shock us from them keep winning.

This is why betting on them to win is still great, sure they lost that run, but when you martingale your bets on Bayern to win, usually the results are great. This should not be that complicated for most people, you just keep on gambling more and more until you profit from their win, and since they always win in the end, even if they fail to win once or twice, you end up profiting in the end.

Bayern has a long track record in the UCL. And they can be considered regulars in the Champions League. So we don't need to doubt their performance. And we can even see how great their performances has been lately. Other than this I think you're right that we can bet continuously on Bayern as the winner. And the martingale strategy is the right choice to secure the bets.

The win against Chelsea may not be the only reason they have a chance to compete for the title, but it emphasizes that Bayern Munich's current strength is even better than before.

Last season we saw Bayern Munich's inconsistent performance in the Champions League. Especially against big and renowned teams, Bayern Munich's performance was quite weak. And that's why Munich was far behind in the Champions League competition.

But this season we can see a positive change in Bayern Munich's performance. Munich dominated and won against Chelsea in the first match. Munich won 3-1. The players were very confident and the team was able to attack a lot.
In the second match, Munich will play against Pafos. I am seeing this team's name for the first time. This team plays in the Cypriot First Division. I am sure many are hearing about this league for the first time. It will not be difficult for Munich to win this match.

I don't think Haaland will score many goals. He could improve as he gets older. Just look at Lewandowski, who's over 36 and still incredibly productive. If Haaland keeps up, he'll easily surpass his record.

[Altryist]

Unexpected events can happen once or twice, I think the result Chelsea ended the match with against Manchester United was an unexpected result and unexpected events do not happen again and again. After losing against Manchester United, Chelsea must have worked on their mistakes and they will play at their best against Benfica.

Since the team has good players and they are performing well, I will always be in favor of Chelsea winning.
I think Chelsea can win this match by a margin of three goals to one.

I think the result of the match against Manchester United shouldn’t be counted in the overall statistics, because Chelsea received a red card as early as the fifth minute, and obviously, under such circumstances, it was hard to expect a positive outcome. Benfica is not in the best form right now, especially defensively, they concede in every match, so I think Chelsea will score at home. Benfica also plays well in attack, and I think they will be able to score too.
I believe Chelsea won’t lose at home, but I’m not sure if they can beat Benfica. That’s possible, but if it happens, it would be a heavy defeat for Mourinho, and Benfica’s situation in the Champions League would become more complicated.

Last season Bayern Munich weren't able to compete in the Champions League the way we expected because they were still in a rebuilding stage, which made them not defeat Inter Milan, and they got knocked out by Inter Milan. This season Bayern Munich is a different team compared to the Bayern Munich of last season, and they are one of my favorite teams am rooting to win the Champions League this season. This is the first time I am hearing about Pafos and the league they play. Pafos is a walk over match for Bayern Munich. Harry Kane will score a lot of goals against Pafos to increase his chances of become the highest goal scorer this season.

Well if we talk about Benfica, they have been conceding goals regularly. I don't think Benfica can easily win against Chelsea, a strong defensive unit. Players need to score if they are to show a good show in this match that is to be played on 1st October.

Also if we look at the odds, even then more than 60% of the people betting on Chelsea and less than 20% of the gamblers think that SL Benfica may win. That's the win probability that clearly favors Chelsea in this match.

Pafos eliminated Red Star Belgrade in the play-off. Bayern are the absolute favorites. Pafos is not a strong team, but they can be tough. In general, they are new to the Champions League and it will be difficult for them in their first time, it’s hard without experience and even harder against Bayern. So in my opinion, Bayern will get another win.
