I had a bad feeling about that game because they are two teams that aren't doing well at the moment both in their league and the ucl. Both teams didn't put in effort to score multiple goals, juventus were so relaxed with scoring no goal at all. This game really affected a lot of bets and its important that you avoid juve and real Madrid this period because they are not the same teams that started the season, I don't know the issue they have

Don't be fooled by the results of their single match, because Real Madrid is still at the top of the league table, and in the Champions League, they are already in the top five. So, I don't see Real Madrid in bad shape, considering their position and points tally from their matches so far this season. Meanwhile, Juventus is also in a similar situation, with the Champions League still having a chance to advance to the next round, and in the league, they still have a chance to return to the top four.

Juventus have not been playing well at all lately, but they would not have had any chance of beating Real Madrid anyway.
The Blancos played really well, but the result was not overwhelming. This is good news for Juventus, who can still hope to qualify despite having only two points in the standings.

Juventus need to win their upcoming matches to solidify their hope in qualifying to the round of 16. Real Madrid performance was good even though, they couldn't score more than one goal throughout the match. I know that Juventus isn't capable enough to win Madrid in Los Blancos.

Don't forget that the group stage is not like before since every team needs to play with seven different clubs. Real Madrid should be able to stay on top of their group table till the group stage is over.

WEll seems like Real MAdrid and Juventus destroy a lot of multibets yesterday, for sure a lot of us was waiting and expecting to see a lot of goals in the games where the big teams plays against each others, and in fact we have quite a few with high ammounts of goals like PSG Leverkusen and Eintrach Liverpool, but REal Madrid and Juventus failed to achieve it and it was a shame.

Following the resent scoreline of the last games of Real Madrid and Juventus it should be easy to notice that both teams are finding it hard to score goals Juventus lost their last league game 2:0 against Como, Real Madrid struggled to score 1 goal to get victory against Getafe, a well calculated gambler will either bet on the stronger side to win instead of going for multiple goals. Real Madrid were more offensive but Juventus defended to avoid conceding goals not that they were relaxed but Vinicious Junior did his magic and Real Madrid was Abel to get the win at the end of the day. It wasn't the best result for the team but you will agree that Real Madrid tried in the game.

[Furious 7]

Although this match wasn't like other matches where there were a lot of goals scored, I think it was a very good match because after all we could see that the tension was quite strong in this match.

Madrid had some really good chances but Juventus with their defense was really outstanding.
In the other match I was actually a bit disappointed with Liverpool who missed early on but it seems like it just woke up a hungry lion because afterwards we could see that Liverpool really went on a rampage and this was their first win after a series of defeats in some of the competitions they had run before which of course I like.
With this result the standings in the league phase are still very interesting where the points are really very tight.

Real Madrid vs Juventus match is the match of the week because they're two strong clubs. Unlike, the other matches that there's a big difference in the clubs strength. Real Madrid misswd some few chances but at ths end they were able to score the only goal in the match.

Juventus defense was superb but they couldn't stop thw attacking force of Real Madrid. They don't score much goals but they end up winning the match.

Looking at the strength on the pitch, I don't think it was too far away because even though Juventus were more focused in the defensive area, we could still see that they could provide some opportunities that troubled Courtois under the misatar which made Madrid a little threatened,.

But I agree with you when you say this match was the best. It doesn't mean that other matches are not interesting, it's just that seeing them on the field clearly shows hard work and both do not want to lose in this match.
The other matches were also a lot of fun especially considering that this week actually saw more goals scored than any other week in the league phase and maybe even this week was the record for the most goals scored in the league phase because the scores in each match really weren't what was expected.

With the way the champions league table is at this point,  having Real Madrid occupying the number 5 do we still see them as one of the clear favorite to be in the finals? The Whites have been taking their games slow but not that steady in some games and if it was like 3 seasons ago we would have been seeing them demolishing some of the teams they played against with the fast moves they make but now they are either winning by a goal to nil and it will end that way and in the la Liga they are still slow, can we see them as a threat to the other teams?

Real Madrid is still playing quite well. In the league, Real Madrid is still leading the provisional standings with 24 points. Their goal production is also quite good, with 20 goals from 9 matches, which means more than 2 goals per match if rounded to 2 goals/match. They are second in terms of goals in the Spanish league, only behind Barcelona. Mbappe is also still the top scorer in La Liga with 10 goals.

Overall, I see the competition for the trophy this season as quite competitive, even the battle to finish in the top eight of the standings is very tight. However, I believe Bayern Munich will not face any significant difficulties in advancing to the round of 16.

Bayern Munich has always been a good team and they always qualify for the round of 16 as long as I can remember, so saying they will qualify for the round of 16 is not something new, because they have been a fantastic team and are in a very good form,, so I am seeing them just qualifying,  bur they are also one of the favorite in my opinion. I think Bayern Munich,  PSG, Arsenal, Inter Milan are the favorite for the title this season, although the competition is very competitive this season, but these team are my favorite to win it.

Are you counting on Bayern Munich, PSG, Arsenal, and Inter Milan to be your favorites to lift the Champions League title because they currently top the Champions League table, or do you have some other reasons for that? For your notice, a team that tops the Champions League table might be kicked out in the round of 16 or 8 before reaching the finals. Last season, Liverpool were topping the Champions League table but they were kicked out before reaching the quarter finals. The same thing could happen to the teams you mentioned, a team nobody expected to lift the Champions League title will surprise us by lifting it. It happened last season, nobody thought from the onset that PSG would lift the Champions League title

I think it's not right to be overconfident about any team, because at the end of the day, the team we expected the most from was eliminated.Because Liverpool were at the top of the table the previous season and PSG had no chance.But in the end, Liverpool was eliminated and PSG was able to win the title.Many teams have been performing well this season, and I still can't figure out which team I should leave behind and choose another.So let's see which team can perform well in the end, hold their own and win the title.

Juventus need to win their upcoming matches to solidify their hope in qualifying to the round of 16. Real Madrid performance was good even though, they couldn't score more than one goal throughout the match. I know that Juventus isn't capable enough to win Madrid in Los Blancos.

Don't forget that the group stage is not like before since every team needs to play with seven different clubs. Real Madrid should be able to stay on top of their group table till the group stage is over.

Real Madrid staying in that position will mean them to win all of their remaining matches they’re going to be playing in the group stage. They may have some weak teams to play, but not until they play and prevail against them can we confidently say they’ll be at the top of the standings to stand out for qualifying to the knockout phase of the competition. This new method is not an home and away fixture of the same team, it’s been shared randomly which means you only have one encounter with a team in this stage and the best you can do is to take home the advantage of prevailing against them as much as you can. No second chance to meet them in this round as they use to before in this new format.

Exactly! Well said, mate! Juventus would need to win all their remaining matches to qualify for the round of 16, but they could still go through the play-offs if they don't finish in the top eight!
It will be difficult for them, as the top spots have already been taken by strong teams and it will be a fight until the last match to hold on to these top eight positions.

Right now it’s tough for Juventus to grab wins in every match, their performance still looks the same as last season, and the tactics haven’t really changed either. In other words, they can only manage draws against teams on their level and tend to lose against stronger sides. Unless they’re facing a really weak team, that’s when Juventus can finally get a win.

The good news is, Juventus still have a few chances coming up against lower ranked teams like Bodo/Glimt, and Pafos. This is their opportunity to take all three points and secure their position.

That’s something a lot of football fans can agree on. The team isn’t in its full glory and you can’t trust them at some elite team games but somehow, they do their best to win games that are most important to them. One game where they just couldn’t help themselves or all they tried didn’t work was the Laliga fixture against Atletico Madrid. Other than this game, Real Madrid have being playing some good football and securing important points.

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.

At the moment Chelsea is not a worthy opponent for Ajax and as we saw Chelsea dominated the match in all line while Ajax couldn't do anything so it's no surprise that Chelsea won with 5 goals. Regarding the red card incident, it is normal when a team loses and players will be more aggressive so the red card is unavoidable, this happens to almost all teams in the same situation. It must be admitted that today the Premier League teams dominated all the matches and won except Tottenham who only drew, is this a sign that EPL teams will dominate the Champions League?

Any team that played in its local league and qualified for the first 3 positions, thereby qualifying for the champions league is a match and a worthy opponent for any team in the same league. Do you normally take bottles and stones to a gun fight?? They must have been prepared for this competition -- especially this time around where everyone has a peak-level interest.

For the final question, the EPL has already dominated the champions league and it's a surprise that you're just realizing this today... List the number of teams from the bundesliga and the French league 1 that's made it out to at least, the knockout stage in the last season's UCL? Compare to the EPL teams?

It will be difficult for them, as the top spots have already been taken by strong teams and it will be a fight until the last match to hold on to these top eight positions.

Let's be realistic, something like that is quite unlikely. Juve's goal should be to stay in the top 24, preferably a bit higher. They can achieve that, since they've already played their two toughest matches against Dortmund and Real. They'll comfortably beat Pafos and Bodø/Glimt. They'll have close battles with Monaco, Benfica and Sporting. They can get around at least 10 points from these games. 12 points should be enough to make the top 24. Last year the cutoff was 11 points. This year it would be similar.

With the way the champions league table is at this point,  having Real Madrid occupying the number 5 do we still see them as one of the clear favorite to be in the finals? The Whites have been taking their games slow but not that steady in some games and if it was like 3 seasons ago we would have been seeing them demolishing some of the teams they played against with the fast moves they make but now they are either winning by a goal to nil and it will end that way and in the la Liga they are still slow, can we see them as a threat to the other teams?

Last season, PSG also experienced difficulties in the League Phase but in the end, they managed to secure the trophy. Real Madrid, in my opinion, quite deserves to be on the list of favorite teams this season, they have the complete attributes to make it happen, even though they currently occupy fifth place in the standings. There are five matches remaining in the League Phase, which will determine a team journey to advance to the round of 16.

PSG is the most productive team in terms of scoring goals so far, but in terms of defense, Arsenal and Inter Milan are the better teams as they have not conceded a single goal. So, I think anything can still happen in the future, Real Madrid has the mentality and is very experienced in the Champions League, which sets them apart from most of the other contestants.

It seems that the days of Real Madrid and Champions League are fast passing away. I remember when Real Madrid is always counted as the favourites even if they are not in good form, provided that it is champions league. I don't think that that aura is still there. I do not believe that Real Madrid is the favourite to win the champions league of this season. The clear favourites I saw before the start of the season was the favourite of last season who could not win it - Liverpool.

But I am surprised how things are just falling apart for Liverpool this season. I believe there is still time to change the narrative, let's wait and watch how things unfold.

The most important match today is the Madrid vs juventus match. Madrid team is considered as the favorite. This is their home match. On the other hand, juventus is not in good form. We saw Juventus'  defeat against Como in the last match of serie a. But Juventus team is not weak. They have a strong defense. So in this match ,  Juventus  players can surprise. Madrid will definitely have to play very carefully.

Madrid has won three matches against Juventus in the last 5 head-to-head matches and Juventus has won two  matches. In the 2018 Champions League match, Juventus won 3- 1. And the match was Madrid's home match. Although Juventus lost 3 -0 against Madrid at home.

We watched a match of UEFA Champions League and that was one sided match because one team performance was at top and opponent team performance was not good in this match. Juventus football team could not do any goal in this match and their stats was also very poor in this match as their shots were only 11 in this match and 6 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was very low in this match which was 34 percent in this match and opponent team possession was excellent in this match which was 66 percent. The passes of that team were also low in this match and these were 267 and Real Madrid performance was at top in all sides as their training was hard .

Juventus have not been playing well at all lately, but they would not have had any chance of beating Real Madrid anyway.
The Blancos played really well, but the result was not overwhelming. This is good news for Juventus, who can still hope to qualify despite having only two points in the standings.

Juventus are now in the situation of 2022-2023 version of Barcelona where there is nothing progressing in the team, no motivation, most of the players in the juve current squad are washed. It gonna take them a long time for them to recover and play like they use to do and I don't see them going far in this season champions League game highest route they can reach us the playoffs phase, where they will surely loss. They need new ideas in that that  team, like a very good manager and players who are ready to fight for the club badge.

Don't be fooled by the results of their single match, because Real Madrid is still at the top of the league table, and in the Champions League, they are already in the top five. So, I don't see Real Madrid in bad shape, considering their position and points tally from their matches so far this season. Meanwhile, Juventus is also in a similar situation, with the Champions League still having a chance to advance to the next round, and in the league, they still have a chance to return to the top four.

Every team has a long way to go in all competitions - but dropping a significant number of points in any given competition significantly lowers their chances of winning the title. Real Madrid have been one of the most consistent teams in the Champions League this season - they've managed to win three straight matches, but that doesn't guarantee they'll win the title.

Juventus certainly still have a chance to qualify for the next round, but they need to ensure they don't drop too many points in each of their upcoming matches. However, Juventus haven't won a single match in their 3 league matches so far - so anyone would doubt they'll qualify this way. About Liverpool - I'm absolutely delighted with the result we got.

Looks like you have been watching a different Real Madrid. This season, they have lost just one game, which was against Atlético Madrid in La Liga. Their performances in general have been OK. It's as though you want Real Madrid to score 7 goals in every match? Come on

In the previous years, Real Madrid would still lose matches. Most of the time, they were not even considered favourites.

It seems that the days of Real Madrid and Champions League are fast passing away. I remember when Real Madrid is always counted as the favourites even if they are not in good form, provided that it is Champions League.

You are wrong, in most cases they were not the favourite at least according to media. The likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, PSG would always get rated ahead of them.

I don't think that that aura is still there.
I do not believe that Real Madrid is the favourite to win the champions league of this season

This is exactly how people would keep doubting Real Madrid a few years back. I hope you won't swallow your words

I have to say that Real Madrid is an unpredictable team especially in the Champions League, I remember a few years ago many of us doubted them but the fact is they were able to win the UCL trophy even though their squad is really not convincing, well I think this continues fot Real Madrid this season I mean they could have made a surprise. People think Real Madrid has another strength when playing in the Champions League and cannot be compared to their performance in the local league.

Sometimes results in the domestic league don't determine the outcome in the Champions League, and vice versa, as has been the case in recent seasons. Real Madrid has always been the favorite in the Champions League even though they haven't performed well in the domestic league. Their strength is indeed very unpredictable, and sometimes they play badly in one match and play very well in another. That's what Real Madrid is like, because this team is built not only on the strength of the players but also on the high spirit and experience gained in the Champions League.
