UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Arenga pinnata]

The match between Chelsea vs Ajax was a very rough one. They got shown all manners of cards from the referee and caused 3 penalties in the first period alone. It's inspiring to see that the club has grown to fit properly in the champions league once again; T.George came from the bench and recorded his name as part of those that made history in the champions league tonight.

On the other hand, Ajax have lost their potentials and have paid the price for being selfish with the team's revenue, instead of packing up the squad with better players. What were they expecting from the match? A win? It doesn't just happen miraculously... They were obviously going to get trashed, just like every other time.

Chelsea actually defeated Ajax quite decisively. However, we had predicted from the start that Chelsea would be the favorites. Not only because they were the hosts, but Chelsea's consistency was far better and their squad depth was also superior.

Ajax has yet to recapture its former glory. Although Ajax usually develops potential players, this time they were not the same.

With Chelsea's victory, every Premier League team has won in this round. Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal all won in style and with a significant number of goals.

Barcelona won this match with a fantastic score of 6-1. In this match, I was truly impressed with the performance of the Barcelona players, because they really played very neatly in this match. Perhaps this is the turning point for Barcelona after their defeat in the previous match. In addition, in this match, Lopez was truly a very sharp player, because in this match he was able to score 3 very impressive goals. In addition, Rashford was also an impressive player, because in this match he was able to score 2 goals for Barcelona.

Then Yamal was also no less good in this match, because he also scored 1 goal in this match. So with that, I think now Barcelona will really show its fangs again. In addition, with this victory, Barcelona finally rose again in the Champions League ranking to 9th place temporarily. So with this, I think Barcelona will definitely be able to continue to rise in the ranking. Moreover, if all the main players return from injury, Barcelona's performance will definitely be even better.

Versus olympiakos so hold your horses. When they win with a good game against real madrid or inter milan or bayern then we can say something

Until a serious game like this I'm not trusting barcelona that much, especially to bet on them and risk money. With so many injuries the game is very different so anything can happen in a bad or good day.

Yes, it's true that Barcelona only won against Olympiakos in this match. So, yes, if we talk about Barcelona's current performance, it's not certain whether they are performing well or not. But I'm sure that Barcelona will still perform very well, even against strong teams like Real Madrid or Inter. So to be able to satisfy our curiosity, we just have to wait a few more days to see the match between Barcelona who will face Real Madrid. So until that day comes, we really have to be patient.

But even so, I will continue to support Barcelona from now on. Because I believe that with Barcelona's current sharpness, they can definitely beat Real Madrid, whose current performance is also not very good. Because last night, Real Madrid was only able to win by a narrow margin against Juventus, so that really reflects that their performance on the front line is very less than stellar at this time. So with that, I really support Barcelona at this time.

Even with the fouls and rough tactics ajax could notnl score more than a single goal, this tells you how poor their performance is right now...like you said, ajax have really lost their potentials, this isn't the team that we used to know, they are in a terrible form right now...Chelsea's performance was expected, they have been doing very well in the ucl and I think with the way are keeping up they might have the chance to get to the finals

The result of this match may seem expected considering Ajax position in the points table as they are at the bottom. They have lost all three matches. Chelsea have got good results as expected. Chelsea will have to overcome strong teams to reach the final and it may not be that easy for them. PSG are in great form this season, besides Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Liverpool are all great teams. Winning by 5-1 goals can motivate Chelsea players to do better. Chelsea may forget the memory of losing 3-1 to Bayern last month due to the higher goal difference with Ajax.

Galatasaray played a very high-pressure game and were rewarded with a 3-1 victory.
Bodo surprised me. They lost a lot of ball in defense. These mistakes resulted in a goal and numerous chances, but their goalkeeper played very well.
Osimhen even congratulated goalkeeper Haikin after a one-on-one situation.
Bodo also had some effective chances, but his finishing touches weren't great.
Galatasaray's next match is away at Ajax.
Ajax has been playing very poorly this year and hasn't earned any points yet. This match in the Netherlands could be a tough one for Galatasaray.
At worst, Galatasaray needs five more points to qualify for the playoffs.

Galatasaray will next play Ajax, the bottom-placed team in the Champions League, in the Netherlands. I believe Galatasaray can beat them if they play like this. They played really well in the Liverpool and Bodo matches. If they defend like Liverpool and attack like Bodo, they'll easily come away with three points in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Ajax has struggled to score in the Champions League. Galatasaray should capitalize on this and secure three points from that away game.

Frankfurt should be no obstacle, no matter which condition Liverpool is in. When you look the Frankfurt's recent games you can see they are also in a slump. 1:5 against Atletico, 0:3 at home against Bayern, 3:4 at home against Union Berlin. Only the 6:4 crazy game against Mönchengladbach was kind of a standout, and even in this one they conceded 4 goals. So one thing stands out, their defense at the moment is TERRIBLE. And for that reason they should lose again today.

Quoting myself here cause I guess I hit all the right points with this one. The confirmed their trend of terrible defensive games and got another 5 pack handed to them, quite embarrassing considering they were playing at home. I mean, I saw it coming, but you always hope it's not gonna get quite as bad as you fear it might be. And yet, they did their best to disappoint and showed another lackluster defensive performance. Damn, this team really has some issues at the moment!

Chelsea like many other big clubs won their matches hours ago from Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea to Bayern Munich. It's actually a good match day for big clubs and both Chelsea and Liverpool have wins for healing pains from their bad performances and results recently. Ajax in this match very underperformed and were completely destroyed by Chelsea. Their quality and competitiveness has dropped considerably since their golden player squad with De Ligt, De Jong, De Beek, Ziyech, ... many years ago. This defeat is another test result as a newest confirmation on declining quality of Ajax Amsterdam recent seasons.

Chelsea actually defeated Ajax quite decisively. However, we had predicted from the start that Chelsea would be the favorites. Not only because they were the hosts, but Chelsea's consistency was far better and their squad depth was also superior.

With Chelsea's victory, every Premier League team has won in this round. Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal all won in style and with a significant number of goals.

They can have all tickets to a next phase in Champions League but it does not guarantee any good results for Premier League clubs in knock-out phases as with several matches so far, all clubs from Premier League have kind of big problems which will be their weakness when facing against big clubs in Europe.

Their biggest problem is their defensive struggles. In addition to their defensive woes, Frankfurt has been conceding a lot of goals in Germany and in the Champions League. If they experience the same situation in their next match, they'll be in serious trouble. They're seventh in the Bundesliga and their next Champions League match is against Napoli. Considering both teams have conceded a lot of goals in their last matches, I think this could be a game with a lot of goals, but Frankfurt needs to get their defense together now.

Galatasaray brilliant performance made 'Istanbul Hell' ignite again, this time Bodø/Glimt became the victim of Galatasaray ferocity after ending the match with a score of 3-1. Victor Osimhen became the hero of the victory after scoring two goals, an additional goal from Yunus Akgün added to the joy of the fans who gave their full support in the stands. Previously, Bodø/Glimt had made a surprise in the UCL, but this time their strength meant nothing when faced with Galatasaray.

Real Madrid also managed to win after beating Juventus with a narrow score of 1-0. Vinicius also put in a brilliant individual performance, breaking down Juventus notoriously solid defense. Real Madrid had chances to increase their lead, but Di Gregorio played like Buffon, fortunately the Juventus player was unable to score a single goal so Real Madrid could maintain their perfect record.

Ajax came prepared to win the match, but unfortunately they just found out that Chelsea is not one of those clubs in the Dutch league that they can comfortably win. Chelsea is the superior team compared to them, and they just found out. Although I expected Chelsea to win the match but this wasn't the performance I was expecting from Ajax. I was hoping they will be more competitive and make Chelsea labour for the win, but I was disappointed as they made it a goal festival for Chelsea. This is what happens when the management of a club fails to invest in the team.

Real Madrid had chances to increase their lead, but Di Gregorio played like Buffon, fortunately the Juventus player was unable to score a single goal so Real Madrid could maintain their perfect record.

Five teams are still perfect up to the third match. They even always earn 3 points. PSG, Bayern, Inter, Arsenal, and Real Madrid each have a perfect 9 points. Could they be candidates for this season's UCL champion? Maybe. Another that about match Juventus managed to improve their poor Serie A performance against Como, which ended in a loss. Juventus played quite well, so they didn't concede more than one goal. I am quite amazed by Vini's skill, which made six Juventus players only watch before he shot, hit the post, and it eventually led to Belingham's goal. Watching the match, both goalkeepers played well, so I think Real Madrid's one-goal win is quite fair. Fortunately, Courtois was able to save Vlahovic's solo run, which Militao couldn't stop.

Another weekday for UCL. I'm interesting in picking Chelsea's game against Ajax for betting purpose. Blues are in pretty good mentality after they consistently won in the previous games. I rate them a better than Ajax, but only doubt they will not able to perform well in this game due to the missing some of their key players. They will be mssing Cole Palmer, Delap, Pedro, Colwill and many more. So i anticipate that by picking BTTS instead of straight bet on them to win the game. My expectation to them is just winning the game with narrow score.

Nevertheless, i'm not underestimating Ajax as their opponent caused by the last time this club able to got draw against Chelsea with 4-4. The possibility for BTTS to happen is big. It's my main reason why i pick it.
What's you guys choice over this game? Will Chelsea beat Ajax?

I chose a simple victory for Chelsea, yes, the odds are modest - only 1.28, but it seems to me that the factor of the home game and the factor of Chelsea being stronger than Ajax will play a role. Look at how bad Ajax is this season - in the Champions League they have 2 defeats with a goal difference of 0-6, and in the national championship they are only 4th with 16 points in 9 games. In my opinion, Chelsea should win here in any condition.

Glad we made it. I were so pessimistic to see Ajax to score at least one goal, but lucky me it was happening. Happy to see Chelsea won it, though Ajax gets another disappointment. Three youngsters scored in this game and they break new records. So far so good.
They started to give minutes to the youngster to develop themselves.

Ajax actually came well prepared, but because they received a red card in the 17th minute, which was still early in the match, their performance immediately declined because they struggled to balance their performance on the field. Chelsea greatly benefited in this regard, they immediately tried hard to attack Ajax until Ajax was finally overwhelmed. Chelsea themselves had a four goal lead in the first half. In the second half, when Ajax began to adjust their defensive strategy, it was too late because Chelsea had already scored many goals. Ajax is actually one of the strong contenders in the UCL, but Chelsea performance this season cannot be ignored, as they are also competing tightly in the UCL.

I get unlucky whenever I go all in to play full-time draw or it will be  that I refused staking the games I  have up in my head. Yesterday was one of them days I love. I done done did stake that and it paid off. I wasn't expecting much from Atalanta but it was a worthy risk taken when the full-time whistle was blown.

It would have be a tough match for Chelsea yesterday, but that early red card made Ajax team to failed, I know Ajax is a strong team but I don't think they would have defeat Chelsea if not the red card that happened, it would have make Chelsea to struggle till second half ending before they could have score goal from the match, what happened to Ajax is what any team can experience which Chelsea have experienced it many times in this season, and it's very difficult for any team to experience red card in the early stage to have the strength to win the match when it happen because it will be reducing the strength of the players in the field to make their opponent to take the advantage to achieve victory.

With Chelsea's victory, every Premier League team has won in this round. Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal all won in style and with a significant number of goals.

Chelsea faced Ajax Amsterdam as easily opponent teams in Champion League and last night defeating make Ajax Amsterdam not get one point yet until playing three games have the same poorly performance with Benfica both teams not get one point yet. I think poorly performance from Ajax Amsterdam last night after Kenneth Taylor receiving red card on 17th minutes and make Chelsea easily dominance the match by scoring until 5 goals. Still have question about second penalty kick getting by Chelsea if you watch replay slowly seems not any fault yet but the referee giving advantage for Chelsea.

Games week 3 in Champion League have good result for Premier League after all teams got victory except Tottenham Hotspur held to draw by AS Monaco, surely four premier league team from Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea easily qualifying to knock out round but I am not sure with Tottenham Hotspur opportunity will qualify too?

[Zackz5000]

The Premier league and the Laliga are always a conflicting side when matched together and this Arsenal Vs Atletico Madrid fixture is one which we could say, would make a good duo.
I wouldn’t have given much to Atletico Madrid but, after their game against Real Madrid and how they performed, turning out to be a scoring side and have kept the pace from that game, Arsenal could as well hope on the home advantage to force out a win of them. This match could easily be a draw, Arsenal isn’t that reliable this season yet.

Arsenal is better than Real Madrid this season and last season. The comparison you made is wrong, Arsenal should be compared to the likes of PSG, Bayern Munich not Real Madrid.

This will be the favorite match to watch today because both Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have a good defense structure, at the same time are clinical in the front line. But Arsenal have an advantage since they are playing at home and how good they are in set piece.

Arsenal knocked out Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, so I accept that Arsenal was better than Real Madrid last season, but this season Arsenal isn't better than Real Madrid. PSG and Bayern Munich are on a different level this season, and Arsenal should not be ranked on the same level with PSG and Bayern Munich.

I will choose Arsenal over Real Madrid last season and this season, Arsenal performance this season is even better than last season and they are a better team this seas than Real Madrid and i still believe Arsenal will knocked down Real Madrid if they meet again this season.

You can't also say that Arsenal are not on the same level with PSG and Bayern Munich currently they are of same level until both teams plays meet this season in the UEFA Champions league then we will know which team of better of but for now you can rank them on the same level because Arsenal are currently first in the English Premier league same to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in their different league also, PSG are second in their table but i consider first because that will be there ending point before league end.

[abhiseshakana]

Real Madrid has already started to perform poorly, where the result of today's match with Juventus was more likely to be more than that. But although the defense of Real Madrid is quite strong, the attack has performed poorly in today's match. Where Mbappe and Vinicius Junior were on the field, they were never able to score goals with their magic feet in the attack. Bellingham is the only one who has been able to score goals in this match.
However, although my research is somewhat true, my research would have been more accurate if there were more goals.

I don't think Real Madrid played that badly, but Juventus' solid defense that made Real Madrid struggle and look bad. Juventus really has a defense that frustrates Real Madrid (especially in the first half) as they tend to play a parking bus strategy from the start of the match. Juventus has a strong reason to do that, as they are playing as guests and they were aware that Real Madrid was a team that was a level above them, so it was quite understandable why Juventus did not dare to build their rhythm from open play (Juventus knew very well that if they did that, then Madrid would have plenty of scoring opportunities).

Real Madrid may not have scored many goals, but this win is still important and at least maintains their positive trend, because in a few days they will meet Barcelona in El Clasico. So having good morale will give them a better chance to win the match against Barcelona.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Frankfurt seems to have gotten used to 5-1 scores in the Champions League. They defeated Galatasaray 5-1 in the first leg and then lost 5-1 in the next two.
Frankfurt isn't doing well at all, and they're not doing well in the league either.
They're conceding too many goals. I think we'll see a managerial change at Eintracht Frankfurt soon.
They have a very fragile football structure, and this won't improve without a new manager.
Otherwise, they'll be saying goodbye to the Bundesliga.

Ajax is actually one of the strong contenders in the UCL, but Chelsea performance this season cannot be ignored, as they are also competing tightly in the UCL.

If Ajax were really prepared as we all claimed the shouldn't have conceded that number of goals. Yes, they received a red card 17 minutes into the game, but I believe that even without the red card, Chelsea would still have scored the same number of goals. Ajax simply faced a team that was far superior in both formation and overall quality. They were only able to make two shot attempts and only one was on target and that's obviously their penalty goal.
