UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[MorganaX]

Galatasaray defeated Ajax 3-0 away and increased their points total to 9.
It was a very comfortable win for us.
Osimhen is an incredible player, and even though he played at about 70% of his capacity tonight, he still managed to score a hat-trick.
Lemina and Sané were among the best players of the evening, and the rest of the team also performed very well.
Next up is Union Saint-Gilloise, and that match will be at home, they should already start to be afraid.

This win is perfectly and well deserved victory from them as they performed very much better. Galatasaray needed this win and the point, as it has lead them to 9 points now on the table. I always knew that Victor oshimen will always find a way to put the ball at the back of the net, he made it today with an hat-trick, for me, I'm so happy for that scoreline and was satisfied by it, due to the fact that, I place a bet for over 2.5 and it came perfectly well.
We also see Manchester City defeated Dortmond with 4 goals to 1, the win was very comfortable as they also deserve that win.

That aside, tonight game is still pointing to same thing , the defenders .. maybe barca needs to change formations to add to the defense because these guys just keeps forgetting they are defenders.

I hear a lot of noise calling that Flick's system causing this issue. Some people even make a meme that he's the next Ange. I kinda get it, a high line is very risky, especially when you rely on the offside trap to stop the opponent's counterattack. If you can score a lot of goals, it might not be a problem, but if you can't, then you'll get countered easily. Not sure if those are the whole picture, though. As they always say, social media is like a loud-mouthed frog (I think this is the right idiom for this).

I was surprised how Osimhen managed to score the hat-trick, I didn't watch the match and I am here with my TV trying to watch the highlights. Osimhen I know has remained a fighter and I wonder why Napoli fell out with him. I had wished any team in England signed him. Chelsea was close but they were asking for an unnecessary price drop.

I will be glad to see Osimhen top the Champions league goal chat this season. I know that the beast - Haaland will not make it easy for him and besides, Osimhen is prone to injury.

Victor Osimhen is an exceptional player, scoring three goals. He's one of the players who made a lasting impact in the UCL this week with his hat trick. Ajax away is a tough game, and winning 0-3 there is no easy feat. Galatasaray achieved a huge victory and owes it to the Nigerian. This demonstrates once again the importance of Galatasaray's signing of him.

This is a well deserved win for Galatasaray they performed very well more than expected coming from away and the players saw the weakness in Ajax they dominated them forcing them to commit errors that led to the penalties that was converted by Victor Oshimen who become the second player of Galatasaray to bag a hat trick in the champions League. Good performance for the entire Galatasaray players Sane and Lemina's impact was visible throughout the game and the whole players should be celebrating because 0:3 win against Ajax is not a bad record for them. Galatasaray playing at home against Union Saint-Gilloise should end in their favour they just have to give their best so that they will have 12 points after the game.

Unfortunately there are no other solutions, Liverpool are doing very badly at the moment
If they lose to even the weakest teams in the Premier League, what hope do they have against a solid team like Real Madrid? None.
There's no point in dreaming dreams that don't come true/

If we look at Liverpool's current performance, it is indeed a bit ridiculous to expect that they can win this match, because they were defeated by Manchester United at their home ground some time ago, let alone we are talking about Real Madrid who has more quality... even just to get a draw for Liverpool is already an impressive achievement considering their current condition which is not stable and still needs to improve many aspects, especially in their defense which is so bad.

Now take a look at the score sheets.. what do you see? The problem is, we've been overwhelmed by an unimpressive measure of assumptions prior to every match. Looking down on a team's effort is also one way to make wrong choices during match speculations like this.
Congratulations to Liverpool for doing the unthinkable; only a few believed y'all would stand your ground in your home, but you proved them wrong. I knew they were not just going to give in so easily, especially against another big team. This is going to boost Arne's confidence for the few games left for them.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Borges was very effective today. Since Barca set their defensive line so high, Brugge took good advantage of it. Barca have conceded goals in last matches, no clean sheets. It's been 9 consecutive games now where they've conceded. They're showing warning signs defensively. It's hard to win when you concede 3 goals. However it's good that they don't struggle against closed defenses. Yamal scored another great goal today. Club Brugge is a good team. I think 1 point isn't bad for Barca here. Their chances of finishing in the top 8 are still high.

I was expecting Club Brugge to do what they did tonight by targeting when they'll run against the Barcelona off side trap, Benfica did it last season same as Inter and Barcelona kept conceding goals they're not suppose to when they used to play the normal way they used to. Flick is not bothered by how poor they defend, he should change this very style of play because it will always back fire, is a good game plan but knowing how well your opponent plays will determine if you'll keep setting the off side trap always or not and now they faced a team that knows the game very well, Barcelona got lucky to end it in a draw.

[imamusma]

The Barcelona game against club Brugge is the shocker I witnessed tonight, because it's among my bet ticket, and i gave Barcelona a straight win, because I was already believing they are playing a weaker opponent, this is why they say football can be unpredictable in most cases. 3-3 wasn't that result I saw coming at all. Trust me, Barcelona really struggled to even get this draw as they nearly lost.

I will say everyone that pick Barcelona in their bet today will pick them to win the match, who is even going to think that Barcelona will play draw in the match, I don’t know what’s wrong happened today, but both Chelsea and Barcelona surprised me today, I don’t know how those two clubs played draw, I expected the match to be so easy for those two clubs, so it’s surprising to me how they couldn’t get a win in their matches. The two teams played against weaker teams, so why struggling in the match.

That's right, I think many predictions missed the mark in the fourth round, with Barcelona and Chelsea drawing. Previously, Napoli and Juventus also drew in their respective matches, and the most surprising of course was Real Madrid defeat to Liverpool. I think the team with the best performance in this fourth round was Tottenham, who managed to defeat Copenhagen 4-0.
Mediocre clubs are sometimes able to perform beyond everyone expectations, even though they are often underestimated. We realize that all contestants are fighting to finish in a better position in the standings. So far, there are only three teams that have secured maximum points in every match, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Inter Milan.

I hear a lot of noise calling that Flick's system causing this issue. Some people even make a meme that he's the next Ange. I kinda get it, a high line is very risky, especially when you rely on the offside trap to stop the opponent's counterattack.

As they always say, social media is like a loud-mouthed frog (I think this is the right idiom for this).

Actually, I this case, Flick needs to do something about his structure or he would not win anything this season.
If you want to pay a high line, you have to be ready to work hard and smart on it. The player needs to press the opponent for the complete 90+ minutes, and everybody needs to run constantly. You have to swarm your opponents whenever they have the ball like mad dogs and win the ball back immediately because if you don't, with 3 passes alone, your team has been opened up and you will concede a chance, or a goal. This was how Barcelon played last season, but this season, probably because of fatigue, injuries or lack of rhythm, they have not been able to play this way, so teams get more chances against them than they should ordinarily.

The club didn't sign players in the transfer window, and it's affecting them now.
What Flick could do is focus more on control instead of constant attack. They can try to keep the ball and control the game better if they know they can't keep a high press for most of the game. This will still need them to press but they won't be too exploded whenever they lose the ball.

[Amphenomenon]

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.

Remember it's not to get all points or be among the top of the group stage that matters.  Those who will win the eliminating games will make it to the final.

Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona are still good contenders/favourites but tougher race starts during the eliminating periods of the Champions League and there the actual winner or favourites will be guaranteed.

Victor oshinhem is a great player, Galatasaray is lucky to have him in their team. Victor oshinhem as the goal Machine he is known for scored hat-trick for Galatasaray against Ajax.Victor oisinhem goals against Ajax makes it a total of Six goals scored at the UEFA league this season. However, AJAX performance at the UEFA champions League this season is the worst so far. Ajax loss to Chelsea 5-1 and now, still got defeated to Galatasaray 0-3. AJAX  must play better next time except maybe,they want to be kicked out of the UEFA  champions League.

It turned out to be much of a problem than an advantage in this game. Barcelona could have easily lost if not for the VAR that over turned the last goal from the goalkeeper error. It was obviously a foul no doubt but there he was, trying to be a little fancy with the ball.
Club Brugge got Barcelona right where they wanted them, having them chasing for an equalizer all game. They take the lead only to loose it again and Barcelona would be struggling behind for an equalizer. They did get it every time though but, I’m sure that’s not what fans hoped to see.

I expected Barcelona to win the game because I forgot that Club Brugga is a strong club. It was when they scored their first goal that I flashed back at their performance in previous seasons. However, Barcelona didn't have an easy game because they struggled till the end of the game.

Barcelona was lucky that the game ended in a draw because Brugga was very eager to take the lead and win the game. I didn't expect a lot of goals in this game.

Even though Club Brugge performed well in previous seasons, Barcelona were supposed to defeat Club Brugge because Club Brugge can't be compared to Barcelona team. I was expecting Barcelona to take all three points against Club Brugge, but the match turned out to be a difficult match for Barcelona, which so many people didn't see. Barcelona need to up their game in their upcoming Champions League matches if they want to book a spot in the Champions League knockout phase.

Previously, Napoli and Juventus also drew in their respective matches, and the most surprising of course was Real Madrid defeat to Liverpool. I think the team with the best performance in this fourth round was Tottenham, who managed to defeat Copenhagen 4-0.

Chelsea had taken the lead early on thanks to Estevao's goal, which again made a significant contribution to the team. However, not long after, Qarabag managed to equalize at 1-1. Furthermore, in the first half, Qarabag FK was awarded a penalty, which they capitalized on and gave them the lead in the first half against Chelsea. Fortunately, Garnacho managed to contribute a goal in the second half to secure a draw.

Meanwhile, I was quite surprised by the result of the Club Brugge vs. Barcelona match. This time, Barca's defense was quite frantic, conceding three goals, even though they could have scored three goals themselves. However, this showed a weakness in their defense, especially this time. This time, Barcelona could only manage a draw. And overall the results of the matches on the second day were as follows:

It's nice to finally see Foden score. Someone other than Haaland needed to find the net. You can't put all the burden on one player. Cherki doesn't get much playing time, but he always makes good use of it. Pep should be happy with this win.

Ajax really are as bad as their position in the standings suggests. When you take Weghorst, Godts and Oscar out of the team, what's left is a very ordinary local league squad. They haven't managed to build a Champions League level team.
Okan Buruk treating Icardi like Darko Miličić is hilarious. He brings him on as a victory cigar after everything's already decided.

Manchester City team performed quite well, today's match was only on the attack for every period, Manchester City team players. Haaland he worked very little today but his work was very important at the beginning, but today although Foden he scored two goals but he scored easily. He performed opportunistically today, because the effort of Manchester City team players was very less due to the weakness of the opposing team.
Borussia Dortmund team had the weakest defender performance in this match, because the control of each player was not correct.

It was a good game for the Nigerian and he was impactful from the beginning until he was substituted. He said he wants to make a statement in the Champions League and he is gradually achieving that goal. He went home with the match ball and the Player of the Match award in an away game. Galatasaray is on its way to qualification.  The Turkish side will be happy that their investment is not in vain.

[Dump3er]

I see that almost everyone agrees that Real will win and that Liverpool has no chance, but I wouldn't be completely sure about that. Liverpool is the current champion of England and they haven't forgotten how to play overnight, and they still have a very strong team. It is true that they are currently going through a crisis in form and results, but it's only a matter of time before they start playing in accordance with the team's quality. Big matches like this always fully motivate the players, and they give their best. It's only a matter of time before Liverpool players start playing at last year's level; they just need a big win to boost their confidence, maybe even a win against Real. Don't underestimate them, the quality is there, they just currently lack confidence.

Unfortunately there are no other solutions, Liverpool are doing very badly at the moment
If they lose to even the weakest teams in the Premier League, what hope do they have against a solid team like Real Madrid? None.
There's no point in dreaming dreams that don't come true/

As you see I couldn't resist and would like to pick up your post here one more time. How do you comment on your bulls eye analysis of the Liverpool - Real Madrid game? I would like to hear your second try and see what explanations you have that your prediction failed as hard as it could possibly fail.

what hope do they have against a solid team like Real Madrid? None.

I like reading things like this from experts like you. No doubt in your mind that Real Madrid MUST win the game because you just know it.

It’s good seeing Galatasaray and Victor Osimhen perform so well right now at the champions league, since coming back from Injury and missing Galatasaray first UCL game, Victor Osimhen has been in an incredible form, he always has been an excellent striker it’s unfortunate Europe underrates him, he has scored in every UCL match played so far and it’ll be glorious to see him top the UCL goal chart if only he doesn’t get injured. The coach has to manage him in such a way they’ll try to prevent any form of injury cos his impact in this Galatasaray side is really massive both in champions league and Turkish League.

Osimhen is a fox in the box and he's ready to run for 120mins, his the best thing that have ever happened to the club and I don't think Galatasaray have ever gotten a striker like Osimhen. Well Ajax lost it a long time ago and they have been very disappointing in the champions league and I wonder when are we going to see them bounce back to how they was, with this number of goals they have conceded in the champions league this campaign I don't see them escaping the relegation part the table.
They sometimes do well in their league and I was hoping to see a better fight tonight but they didn't have it in them. Their striker isn't as good as I expected, I see him as Ibrahimovic with his height and all that but he was being frustrated by the defenders of Galatasaray, talking about the Ajax man Weghorst, they need to make him become a beast around defenders.
