UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Oh dear god… Chelsea is giving me a headache tonight lol. T

Me too. The world feels upside down. Chelsea came off as losers after the first half. They looked really tired ^{maybe the long flight, the time zone difference, or something else affected them}. I bet on their victory, hoping that Qarabag would be an easy target for them, but it seems I was mistaken about the Azerbaijani team. They showed strength and the willingness to defeat one of the strongest teams in Premier League.

Why are you giving silly excuses for Chelsea laxity in this match. Did the long flight chanhed their mindet from victory to losing. Just accept the fact that Chelsea isn't a club that's predictable. They vs n disappoint you when you put your confidence in them. How can they allow their host to take the lead from one goal down.

[Umulala-alala]

What's happening to Chelsea right now? They are currently losing 2 - 1 even though they were the ones to score first in the early minutes of the game. Qarabag, the underdogs are currently ahead after scoring twice on the night. They would go into the break with a victory, I hope this won't end like this because it will be a big blow to those who already put their money on Chelsea winning this game.

It could be that chelsea came to the match underrating underdogs Qarabag when they scored against Qarabag they concluded they will win with much goal but they forgot that no seniority when it comes to soccer play. I don't see chelsea making a come back win what can get is draw. Qarabag will want to seal this winning by playing more of defensive game in the second half which might not be easy for chelsea to level the score line 2-2 before full time. Majority will have chelsea to win in their bet.

I am also disappointed at Chelsea with this first half result because I also play them to win the game because Qarabag is a very small team compare to them but I believe Chelsea will come back in the second half and they might definitely win or highest draw the game but I just realized now that Qarabag can be very stubborn at times especially in the champions league when they are playing against a big team. I think last season champions league, they won Real Madrid or Barcelona so there is also a possibility they can also maintain this goal till the end of the match.

That's my thoughts on this match. If Qarabag eventually win against Chelsea in this particular match, it will be shameful loses to Chelsea fans, because this match started well and smoothly and everything was okay with the way they are playing, I was expecting Chelsea to add at least 1 more goal before going to half time, since Estevao had an early goal in this match, but then Qarabag turned the game very heavily with 2 goals. Well, I still have hope for Chelsea in the second half that they may equalise this match, so I am expecting Chelsea to either win this match or end it with a draw. Qarabag is leading by 2 goals, while Chelsea has 1 in the first half. Let's see the magic Chelsea may perform in the second half.

One of the surprises of football is happening tonight as Chelsea is losing in first half to Qarabaq after scoring first. If Chelsea eventually loses this match, there will be tears in the entire gambling world there is hardly anyone that did not play Chelsea to win which was even the expectation of the bookies. There is time in the match but though but this half time result is surprising and puts a lot of fears in bettors and the entire Chelsea supporters.

There is a very close battle between Chelsea and the Azerbaijan Premier League team, in fact, in my opinion Qarabag may have become a headache for Chelsea Football Club in today's UEFA Champions League match. The Blues performed the best in the first half and were able to take full control of the match, as a result we saw while watching this match that Estevao increased the excitement of this match by scoring a goal for the visiting team in the 16th minute. So far, Argentine player Alejandro Garnacho has also made a special contribution to this UCL match, actually it was through his goal that the English representatives were able to equalize against the Qarabag FK team in today's game. In reality, this Argentine player was probably brought into the team to make an impact, at this stage it is safe to say that if the Club World Cup champions want to win against Qarabag they will have to take control of the game now.

As for the matches today, I wish good luck to Galatasaray first. They have a good chance ahead to maintain the win streak while Ajax are in one of their worst shapes. Just go for it!

The odds for Galatasaray are quite high, and judging by the stats of both teams, Galatasaray should be able to take advantage of Ajax’s current poor form. But honestly, I’ve got a bit of a bad feeling about it, the bookies giving such high odds might mean there’s a twist coming. Could this match possibly end in a draw?

Manchester City - Dortmund looks like the only kinda big match today. I think Haaland will put on a good show as usual and they will beat Dortmund nicely by 2-1 or 3-1.

If I had to choose a bet with high risk and fairly high odds, I'd choose the double chance (draw or Dortmund win).
As we can see, even though Haaland is on fire, but Dortmund's teamwork appears more solid and they've managed to score more goals than City. City may be stronger defensively, but that doesn't mean Dortmund won't score. You're probably right that a narrow win is possible, but a surprise draw is also possible.

Real Madrid actually screwed my prediction yesterday, like I wasn't expecting that result from them last night and Liverpool did the unexpected and it quite okay to believe that Liverpool are really back on track, like to win Real Madrid at this point in Time is really out of the picture for them, no one could have thought of that exactly, I'm quite happy for them and kind of sad on the other hand because they messed up my ticket, like I don't really know what was wrong yesterday but I know things are not right some how because I don't even see Real Madrid losing that game even in my dreams.

There's nothing wrong with your bet. Indeed, most people are backing Real Madrid to take home all three points at Liverpool's home ground, as Liverpool's performance hasn't improved in recent matches. This is football. Yesterday match was quite exciting and engaging to watch, with both teams trading attacks. Liverpool certainly didn't want to lose face on their home turf, as they put in a superb performance. The Real Madrid goalkeeper also performed brilliantly.

We were talking about Chelsea, now it’s Villarreal’s turn losing against Pafos, without any chances for them to get back in game and that’s my opinion and prediction. We have plenty of surprises today, the second match of today’s matches. Low expected teams are making their way into winning difficult matches while the top teams are having hard time to stand up.

I think the best thing to bet on is low expected teams to score over 0.5 goals with good odds, you can make good profit from that.

Could Xabi Alonso's destiny be to lose against Arne Slot you think?    After last season he did it again with a much stronger team this time... He just can't outplay Arne Slot even while Liverpool are having a worse season.

Liverpool season ain't that bad they are just inconsistent and tactical decisions has been causing them pains. Remember the 2022/2023 under Klopp where nothing seems to be working and they finished below top four.

While it's Ironic Xabi Alonso wasn't gotten a win against Arne Slot, the game showed Real Madrid still a lot of to improve on and I believe Xabi Alonso will work on this in order to do better.

I see your points, but I think it’s a bit unfair to link Xabi Alonso’s fate directly to facing Arne Slot. Alonso still has every reason to believe in his project. His Real squad dominated La Liga, and this loss highlights specific tactical issues to fix rather than fundamental failure. I agree Liverpool have the upper hand in this rivalry now, but it doesn’t mean Alonso’s journey is doomed — just that he’ll need to evolve to overcome Slot in the future.

Should we take the point that Real Madrid will not draw close to lifting the Champions League trophy this season. They can do that in LaLiga this season, but in the Champions League they are far to be considered the champions.

I don't know the fate that lies ahead for Alonso in lifting Champions League trophy. Are we to hope on that in the future with Alonso as we have known Real Madrid to be among teams that has capability of lifting the Champions League trophy.

Chelsea is not encouraging fans in this game and many people will lose bet in this match because many people bet on Chelsea to win the match but from what is going on, the game might end of with draw. I didn't play the game because I was busy with other activities so there was no time to place bet but I was thinking that Chelsea will the game. Right now they are playing 2-2. Qarabag FK is God in the match.

I agree that Real Madrid will not win this year Uefa champions league but they can actually come close to winning it the could get knocked out in the quarter finals or semi finals.
Bayern Munich is closest for me to winning it, then Arsenal, this is more like many people's prediction about who will win the UEFA champions league but Barcelona can surprise us all.

I don’t think it’s a great idea of ruling Real Madrid out of the champions league like that, in fact due to their history as long as their is Real Madrid still in the champions league then we should never rule them out of the competition because they are favourite even in their bad seasons and they have proven that.

This is even Real Madrid first loss of the season in the competition so why are we ruling them out just already, the current champions PSG nearly didn’t qualify for knockout stages last seasons and only managed to get in through the playoffs, yet still make the final and actually won it.

More so aside Bayern Munich and probably Arsenal which club has actually been excellent this season, I don’t think there is any club so it will be a decision taken so soon to rule out Real Madrid

Im yet to see Villarreal coming out in this champions league competition. Their last two games have not giving them the three points they need and I would not be surprised if they lose this game or it even ends in another draw like they did against Juventus. Pafos may look like the weak team but as it stands now, they're leading and I bet you, their resilience may pave a way fit them and they get their first three points.

I would agree with you that Real Madrid isn’t likely to win the champions league this season and that’s because, the team they’ve got now isn’t really fashioned for the title, nope I don’t see them having what it takes to go beyond teams like Bayern or even PSG. I don’t see why we shouldn’t consider them and even Barcelona too. These guys very much come to consideration before Arsenal. Arsenal keeps having a good run as it is but, they constantly have difficulty managing fatigue and that would set in at the end of the season. Good enough for the premier league maybe but, not the champions league.

Honestly, this is the beauty of football. Sometimes players get trapped psychologically. Due to which they lose matches very unexpectedly.

Everyone knows that Liverpool has lost 6 matches at the same time. At one stage, we started blaming the Liverpool coach and all the players. But after that, they started with a small victory of 1-0. I said that the possibility of Madrid winning this match is very low. Madrid thought the opponent was weak.

Xabi Alonso thought that he would win with Mbappe and Vinicius. Liverpool changed his misconception. Mbappe and Vinicius were defended by 2/3 players at all times throughout the match. As a result, Madrid lost their attacking power. In this match, Real's goalkeeper played with the most effort. The rest kept their positions and the match ended.

After all, Liverpool have found their form again. I think this season will be different again. No one ever expected Real Madrid to perform like this. So Real Madrid should understand that they cannot play with just two players.

I didn't play the game because I was busy with other activities so there was no time to place bet but I was thinking that Chelsea will the game. Right now they are playing 2-2. Qarabag FK is God in the match.

There were only about 10 minutes left in the match, and the score was still tied at 2-2. Chelsea looks very eager to get a win in this match, therefore, they continuously put pressure on Qarabag, but what they did seemed to still reach a dead end because Qarabag defended quite well, and their bus parking strategy seemed quite effective in suppressing Chelsea's attacks.

Few minutes to go and Chelsea keep the pressure on. Chelsea are doing everything within their reach to ensure they reap their winning. How on mother's green earth they're drawing this game? Who the hell is Qarabag? I can't believe my eyes because Qarabag are no match for the EPL side considering Chelsea to be the club world champion. I wouldn't blame Chelsea if they draw this game because it's been one hell of a game for them especially on a foreign ground. Enzo Maresca should learn to start players not bringing on B team to face UCL side.

[ajanwalker]

In my surprise bet, I predicted a victory for Pafos against Villarreal, and Pafos prevailed. My bet was that Club Brugge would defeat Barcelona. Now I'm waiting for that match.

Pafos's success isn't a surprise. They're a resilient team with the quality to defeat less-than-top-tier teams.
Villarreal is third in their league, but today's defeat wasn't a surprise to me.

With this win, Pafos increased their points total to 5 and moved up to 19th place in the league. Villarreal has yet to win in the Champions League.

[Sticky Bomb]

Chelsea looks weak in this match, the Qarabag players are faster and outrun Chelsea at every given opportunity especially from Hato's wing. I think it's better they change Hato and bring Achaepong, he's having a very hard time coping with the faster strikers of the home team, their confusion now even led then you forget that Estevao is present and they almost didn't give him passes for the remainder of the first half. Chelsea's midfield is weak Caicedo needs support, I think it's time to bring in Gusto so that James joins Caicedo in tightening their midfield else it would continue giving the home team enough room to penetrate them and score more goals. Qarabag was the better side this first half, if adequate adjustments aren't made by Chelsea, they would concede many more goals in this second half.

Qarabağ FK - Chelsea game might end up becoming the surprise of this week's Champions League games. The Azerbaijan Premier League came prepared this season. Before now, they were a cheap side that ended at the bottom of the group, but this has changed now. Coach Gurban Gurbanov has been in charge of the club for 17 years which is extraordinary.  He has ended up building a strong European underdog.

Honestly I'm still surprised how these guys were able to stand up to Chelsea with such determination. I applaud them for their confidence and determination. Second half proved them underdogs still since they've exhausted themselves showing much strength in the first half and when it was time to fully test their stamina in the second half, they were already worn out. Chelsea dominated the second half surely and the quick feet from Garnacho saw that the points were shared, although I was anticipating that the three points go to Chelsea in the final minutes but the home team stood their ground. I'm really impressed with Qarabag performance today, kudos to them.

Estevao and Garnacho demonstrated more maturity in today's match, I'm really impressed with their performance.

Last chance to place bets for tonight's games.
Fixtures and odds:
Ajax x3.20 Vs Galatasaray x2.10; Draw x3.75
Benfica x1.91 Vs Bayer Leverkusen x3.80; Draw x3.75
Club Brugge x5.25 Vs Barcelona x1.54; Draw x5.00
Inter x1.03 Vs Kairat x46.00; Draw x16.00
Manchester City x1.37 Vs Borussia Dortmund x7.50; Draw x5.50
Marseille x2.30 Vs Atalanta x3.10; Draw x3.50
Newcastle United x1.34 Vs Athletic Bilbao x9.50; Draw x5.00

I think Galatasaray could be a decent pick. Ajax is definitely underperforming this season and are at the very bottom of the UCL table. I'm not sure if having a home advantage would make much difference here.
Galatasaray is leading the Turkish league table and they haven't lost any game in the league yet. In the UCL, they have wins over Liverpool and Bodo/Glimt, but they lost to Eintracht 5-1 in the opening round, which could spark some doubt on whether or not they can compete at the highest European level.
