UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[GbitG]

Barcelona are playing with their second-string squad. But even then we saw a very well-organized performance from the team in the first half. This is certainly commendable.

Rashford is playing as a replacement for Lewandowski. Flick has included 17-year-old Fernandez in the squad today. And Fernandez has proven his ability. He managed to provide one assist. Lopez scored both goals. We are seeing a better performance from Yamal. But Rashford is not showing the expected good performance. He played quite well in the previous two matches of the Champions League. We saw two goals and one assist from Rashford in two matches.

Hansi Flick was lacking in squad depth but still they manage to regain the team potential and capped such classical displays. In first half they were super dominant, like they scored 2 goals. Fermin Lopez was absolutely phenomenal, and also now in the second Yamal Jamal scored with a penalty to make the lead 3-1. Still it is quite extraordinary performance....ahh one more from Rashford. 80 minutes in, Barcelona is leading with 5 goals.

However, still some minutes are pending and Barcelona are just pushing hard to like they are just hunger for the lead. They want more goal. Let's see what happens next til 90 minutes

Real Madrid is a typical illustration of elite teams that can play under pressure despite the current unfavorable condition they found themselves. Real Madrid ready to take the heat and still come out exploring and winning games, entirely on a different scale and the impact of winnings is already bestowed in the minds of the players.

In the last season when Ancelotti was there, Madrid looked like a hospital, where could you look for players who could recover? They were injured or playing injured, yet they did very well in the League. When Barcelona's top player was there , Madrid was at its worst and yet they still fought, so that means they are at a much higher level , that's why it's essential that they win everything now, there are no excuses.

It was a bad night for Olympiacos. Being reduced to 10 men after leading 2-1 was disappointing.

However, their difficult situation against Barcelona worsened after going down to 10 men.
Barcelona won 6-1. Barcelona scored 4 of their 6 goals after Olympiacos went down to 10 men.

The second match of the evening was between Almaty and Paphos. Paphos, who played almost the entire match with 10 men, picked up a point from their away game against Almaty.

They could have gotten 3 points if they hadn't gone down to 10 men.

[yudi09]

Rashford and Yamal, who are currently in the game (65 minutes in), have the opportunity to put their names on the scoreboard.
Yamal and Rashford will aim to achieve that, as Olympiacos are currently playing with 10 men due to Hezze receiving his second yellow card.
And there it is—Yamal successfully converted the penalty perfectly. 3-1 for Barcelona.

After 75 minutes, Barcelona took a 5-1 lead. They were leading 2-0 at the end of the first half. But Olympiacos scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. But after that, we only saw Barcelona's dominance. Lopez just scored a hat-trick. Rashford and Yamal scored a goal each. Every player in Barcelona played well. Bardghji made a great assist in just a few seconds after coming on the field. I am just surprised by Barcelona's performance in today's match. If Barcelona can do such a performance in the next El Clasico, Barcelona will win.
Edit: Wooooooww, it's 6-0 now. Rashford scored his second goal

Rashford and Yamal demonstrated what I was referring to in this match. With their respective styles, they consistently sought to score goals and succeeded in doing so, even though Olympiacos was in disarray due to their players having to leave the match.

The 6-1 score meant that the over bet placed before the match started had already won, as 7 goals had been scored. Those who bet on both teams to score and those who bet on Barcelona in the 1x2 market also won. Isn't it clear that Flick doesn't need to panic when several Barcelona starters are absent in La Liga if the players in the starting lineup for this match are also good?
This result will undoubtedly serve as a solid foundation for Flick as he prepares for the El Clasico match at Santiago.

Benfica remains one of the only 3 teams in this season's Champions League so far not having a single point to their name. Today they will play away to Newcastle United in England and will be hoping to record their first win in this competitions campaign. Newcastle on the other have would want to win to further increase their points. I see this match as a battle between these two teams and non of them will go down without a fight.

I disagree with you that Barcelona is playing with their second string squad because I only saw on or two players that isn't in their main sauad. The rest players are Barcelona main squad so don't over hype them. It's clear that they're playing better than Olympiacus in the first half as they dominated the game and won possession.

Barcelona shouldn't relent in the second half because their visitors look somehow strong despite that they haven't gotten the right moment to find the back of the net. This should be an easy sin for Barcelona.

Maybe he's not seeing who the Barcelona players are on the field, because I'm seeing his main squad, the game ended a few minutes ago and this was the final result:



I confess that I'm very surprised that they managed to win by such a high number of goals, there were 6 goals. Perhaps the red card that the Olympiacos player received may have helped Barcelona a lot in scoring the 6 goals. The fact is that they won convincingly even without Rapinha and Levandoski. Perhaps this can serve as a warning to Real Madrid. As a Real Madrid fan, I sincerely hope that the Real Madrid players will have a conscience and not allow us to lose in the next La Liga game, much less allow us to concede as many goals as we did the last time we played against Barcelona.

Early today it was reported that ATM were furious with Arsenal football club and they also filled a complaint against Arsenal. The reason for this might sound petty to some but it's really a serious issue, ATM players trained at the Emirates stadium but it rain and of cause they continued. After training they went to the locker room to have a hot shower but low and behold there was no hot water for them to bath with, considering the rain, it wasn't ideal to shower with cold water so they left with their drenched body to the teams bus. Just this evening, it's also reported that Arsenal has apologised for that  though.
It was just funny when I saw this news.

ATM shouldn't use this hot water stunt as an excuse not to perform well oh, we are all looking forward for a another champions epic encounter between them and Arsenal, if there is no hot water after their evening training, surely there will be one after the match 😅. But Then the Arsenal management staffs needed to have checked if all the facilities were working optimumly since they were expecting visitors. However I'm seating on the fence in this encounter, I cannot really place my head on which side that are favourite to win because ATM is one team that is always full of surprises.

It was like Olympiacus goal made Barcelona angry which led to their massive goal scoring. Fermin Lopez was just raining goals into the net like a goal machine. Olympiacus isn't a good match for Barcelona. However, they played better in thr first half tham in the second half.

Rashford scored two goals tonight. This shows that the set of players that you are with is what will change your mentality to be lazy or committed to your club. It wouldn't be an easy El Clasico during the weekend.

This result will undoubtedly serve as a solid foundation for Flick as he prepares for the El Clasico match at Santiago.

The 6-1 scre winning show us how impressive Barcelona's game play today although starting line up have many rotation due several key players injury and Hansi Flick some on regular player at the bench for El Clasico match. Youth player Dro Fernandez make debut in Champion League as starting eleven player and contributed one assist for second goals scoring by Fermin Lopez. Nice games for Marcus Rashford and Fermin Lopez are both players scoring two and three goals against Olympiacos. For Lamine Yamal although scoring one goal from penalty kick like he not still return on the top performance.

The victory result is capital for Hansi Flick to prepare for el clasico match, but have bad side Hansi Flick will not at the bench after red card receiving last match when Barcelona get victory from Girona.

This was way too much of a comfortable win for Barcelona. I didn’t see them making this number of goals either, I felt the most they could do given their injury stats and the return of Yamal would have been a draw or perhaps manage to get 2 goals but, over 5.5 for Barcelona and the match an over 6.5 match was far from sight. Olympiacos didn’t do themselves any favors with that red card, they only amplified the confidence Barcelona already had and Barcelona 6:1 Olympiacos is the result.

[l99l]

It was a bad night for Olympiacos. Being reduced to 10 men after leading 2-1 was disappointing.

However, their difficult situation against Barcelona worsened after going down to 10 men.
Barcelona won 6-1. Barcelona scored 4 of their 6 goals after Olympiacos went down to 10 men.

The second match of the evening was between Almaty and Paphos. Paphos, who played almost the entire match with 10 men, picked up a point from their away game against Almaty.

They could have gotten 3 points if they hadn't gone down to 10 men.

It was a pretty bad night and a Champions League experience for Olympiacos.
The match was balanced before a player was down, but the loss completely altered the balance of play. It was an opportunity for Barcelona, ​​and they capitalized on it, scoring a total of six goals.
It was good that they won this match without key players like Raphinha and Gavi. These injuries are an opportunity for Rasford, and he's making the most of it, demonstrating this by scoring two goals in this match.

Today Barcelona looked like they had an easy win against Olympiakos, but they wouldn't have if there weren't any red cards involved. Olympiakos could have played well and they could have put Barcelona under pressure in defence, but the squad depth and the lack of one player made a significant difference. Barcelona dominated the match and they really celebrated by scoring 6 goals, which is definitely good ahead of the El Clasico match.

However, I have a different opinion than you. Of course, the concerns are still valid, as Barcelona is still without its best squad. Raphinha is still out for this match, as is Joan Garcia, so their performance might be different in a tough match like El Clasico. But I put my hopes on Barcelona in that match, of course a win is what I hope for.

[Unsoldier]

My prediction for Villarreal vs Manchester City:

Manchester City should take all three points here. Villarreal are usually solid at home, but their recent form has been shaky — three games without a win and defensive issues showing again. City are in great shape right now, unbeaten for a while and looking confident in every match. The gap in quality between the sides is clear, and even away from home, the Citizens look the stronger team.

I was someone who actually doubted Barcelona this season after seeing so many key players injured in the squad. But it seems my worries and doubts were misplaced. From what we've seen, it's clear that Barcelona is still in good shape with their current squad. Even Yamal, who recently returned, immediately showed his usual performance.

Winning a 6-1 victory is indeed the usual style Barcelona always displays when they're in top form, but now they're relying on a squad that even I had doubted. Meanwhile, Olympiakos seems to be having a really bad time.

I didn't expect this goal margin too because I was thinking Lamine Yamal and few other players won't play the game today but when I checked the full time result, Barcelona gave Olympiacos 6:1 I mean that was really huge to concede in a champions league and I have always said it that the presence of Lamine Yamal is always noticable even though he didn't score the highest goal, he will definitely work hard to make sure pass is been circulated and at the end they will win and I'm happy he is back and I hope Raphina and Lewandoski is fit to play the El clasico because El clasico is always sweet and interesting when both team are  complete and in a good form so that there won't be any excuse for loss.

Anyone who watched the match knew that this could have gotten the other way. Olympiacos played really well and that red card killed them and to me that wasnt a red card for sure. After that ,the penalty to me honestly wasnt aswell and after that it was all over for Olympiacos. Fermin and Rashford continue to put on a good show for Barca

Marcos Rashford is beginning to have a very good time at Barcelona these days and I'm enjoying it. He was just denied a hatrick this night due to their Lamine Yamal favouritism. He created the chance, he was about delivering such a beautiful goal before he was taken down by the keeper. Instead of allowing him to take the penalty, it was handed down to Lamine Yamal. Rashford went on to deliver a brace within the shortest time. I can't fan him enough this night and I wish he took the penalty. Barcelona is delivering a hot game these days and scoring much goals daily. He would still deliver more master class performance. I wish Manchester United would learn how to give their players patience and work on each person instead of selling off all their stars. Congratulations to Rashford.

[B-BossMan]

Barcelona are demolishing Olympiacos, so far they have scored 6 goals, and I still think more goals will be coming. I know see the reason why chelsea were so keen on getting Ferran Lopez during the winter break, he has been so good in this match, already scored 3 goals and if he is not taken off I think he would score more.

After that lost at home to PSG Barcelona needed a big performance like this to keep them on track. They struggled a bit in the first half but after that red card by Olympiacos Barcelona make very use of the extra man. Also it good to have performance like this before the El- Classico, now they just need to carry this momentum when they play their big rival This weekend.

I am impressed with this turnout today,Barcelona has done the best for Olympiacos in this match. Before the first half, the two teams were playing so great, and their performance was encouraging despite Barcelona leading by 2 goals, but after the second half, Olympiacos totally lost their efforts and their performances in this second half. They have actually given up on the match due to unexpected goals. The game would have looked interesting if Olympiacos had put in more effort and dedication, but they all feel relaxed and weak. Well, both teams have actually tried, nevertheless, congratulations to Barcelona for achieving this great victory against Olympiacos,
Barcelona-6 Olympiacos-1 full time.

Let's see what maybe the outcome of Arsenal against Atlantico and the same for PSG.

[landheer]

The Leverkusen vs. PSG match has finally begun. This is one of the matches I've been looking forward to. I think PSG will win this match by at least two goals. Leverkusen might also score, resulting in both teams scoring. But I'm more interested in a PSG victory.

I hope the luck I had in the Barcelona match can continue into this match.
And as I write this, PSG has already scored their first goal in the 7th minute through Willian Pacho.

Ohh wow that's awesome!!!
I just wrote a quote before full time and that time the scored bord was 5 goals, but in the blink of an eye, Marcus Rashford scored one more goal. Honestly, this extraordinary performance by the Hansi Flick system, I never expected such big lead because they already struggling with many injuries and also the recent bad toes never made me believe in them that they would score 6 goal.... Literally it a very nice display.

Fermin Lopez just made a beautiful hat trick, and Marcus Rashford was spot-on with two stunning goals, with the remaining 1 goal scored by Yamal Jamal on Penelty kick. All players play super dominantly. Initially I was thinking that Barca defense is weak they will concede many goals but honestly they only conceded 1 goal despite they scored 6 goal

Pretty good victory !!!
Congratulations Barca
