UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Adbitco]

Lots of Barcelona fans were really complaining about Flicks high line and the last match against Club Brugge even made it worse as they saw their team being opened on several occasions which resulted in them conceding 3 goals. They are enraged because it's constantly exposing their back line and as a result it's leading to goals against them. Last season it really worked because it was something new in the league especially, but right now, other managers are looking for various ways to exploit those openings without being flagged offside. Sooner or later once they know how to manage and break through, Barcelona will continue to concede more and more goals.

I don’t think Arne Slot is the only one to blame  everyone is responsible, from the management to the coach. Liverpool hasn’t been playing at a high level for quite some time, and their form is very poor. No matter what tactics Arne Slot comes up with, he can’t lift the team to the top level because their current form is bad. The pressure on the players is noticeable on the young Wirtz and Kerkez, and Salah is also receiving criticism. Maybe it’s just a rough period; they still have time to find their rhythm since they haven’t done so yet.

To be honest, I don't know what the root of Liverpool's problem could be It's incredible that every team that wins the Premier League drops so dramatically the following season, It's unbelievable, I don't know what's going on I don't think the problem is a lack of Slot, but they need to fix everything, I found it incredible that they beat Real Madrid, well done Liverpool!

First of all anyone who is blaming Arne Slot at the first instance is not viewing it from a broad perspective. You cant falt the coach and not fault the players too, at least not in this case besides if you want to be generous, one should also consider the fact that Arne Slot is still quite new to the Liverpool system though some will argue this looking at how far he has stayed already, a year now. So I hope the last match against Real Madrid would come as a morale booster to the Liverpool side to make them more active and result driven than they are currently. I am not sure what there chances are in the title of the Premier league but if they can recover from this weak gameplay,  I am sure they will celebrate victoriously.

Look, when a team plays poorly and doesn’t get good results, it’s always clear who gets blamed first. In 99% of cases, it’s the coach that’s just how it is. Now, i agree with you that Arne Slot isn’t responsible for most of it; the team is simply out of form and has played quite a few poor matches in the premier league. This triumph against Real Madrid will definitely give them a boost, showing that they’re still in the game. As a team, they need to focus on working on their individual mistakes and fixing them, and i’m sure there won’t be any problems.

Chelsea spent a lot of money just to sign Joao Pedro. It's not as expensive as when Galatasaray signed Osimhen, but the difference between the two is only 11.3 million euros. So if you think about it, Chelsea could have signed Osimhen at that time, but for some reason, they chose to sign Joao Pedro instead. Maybe Chelsea thought that if they chose Osimhen, it would take time for him to adapt first. . Therefore, they opted to bring in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, who have already been in the Premier League for quite some time.

If Chelsea had bought Osimhen last season, how would have already adapted to the team by now. It won’t take him so long before he adapts to the nature of play at the premier league. It’s quite clear now his difference with the top players they have signed in the club, but Osimhen could have been a better option. No hope still lost yet on the nature of play of this players, they can still adapt to the nature of play there and maybe they’re not just lucky on goals yet. Delap and Joao Pedro aren’t very bad so far, but maybe their expectations needed from them is way above what we’ve seen so far from them. The champions league is a big deal of competition where every top player of a team should show their best worth for their best signing into the team.

Victor Osimhen was just in Napoli for Chelsea to sign him easily without facing any competition from other clubs, but Chelsea want Victor Osimhen to take a pay cut before they could bring him to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea couldn't sign Victor Osimhen because he refused to accept Chelsea's terms. I was pained when Victor Osimhen's move to Chelsea collapsed, because i want Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea so he could help Chelsea compete for the title. Victor Osimhen is a wonderful player, and with the way he easily adapted to the nature of play in the Turkish league, he will have also easily adapt to the nature of play in the Premier League. Yeah, Delap and Joao Pedro are not bad signings for Chelsea so far, but Victor Osimhen would have been a better option for Chelsea.

Yes, Barcelona's overly high defensive line is precisely what caused them to concede so many goals. Club Brugge was able to capitalize on this, exploiting Barcelona's defense. And the offside trap, which was expected to operate, proved no obstacle for Club Brugge, who were only caught offside once. This shows that Club Brugge is strategically prepared and has read Barcelona's game.
I hope they realize this, because I'm sure other teams will begin to recognize Barcelona's weaknesses and adopt Club Brugge's strategies.

Not all Barcelona fans that complained in that match because they saw the statistics in the first half that Barcelona have opportunity to win the match but there was some mistakes in their defense that turned everything against Barcelona to lose the match, I know some fans will be blaming the coach for the decision to use some players to start the match which is very common among talented coaches to try other players to know their strengths and ability to display well, but that mistakes shouldn't allow the fans to hate the coach because there are still more matches to play in this UEFA champion League competition.

The high line wasn't the problem at all it was their defenders who couldn't play it properly especially Araujo. Barcelona problem started when inigo Martinez left and they didn't have money to buy new active defender to take his rather they are relying on Araujo and Garcia and Christensen who can't defend properly anymore. Ever since Hansi flick has being coaching Barcelona ,he hasn't been given money to buy the right players he wants. Imagine,the only good players Barca signed this season was Joan Garcia who is a keeper. So I don't really think they have that same type of performance they had last season again coz the players are tired.

Statistics don't win games, Barcelona fans have every right to be angry. The squad performed poorly, mainly in the defence. It was always difficult for Barca defenders to recover after a counterattack. This gave Club Brugge the chance to exploit the defensive lapses. The attack was okay with two balls hitting the crossbar but they would have to do more if the Spanish side wants to go far in this competition.
Maybe Barca fans assumed that this game would have been cheap since Club Brugge KV is from the low-rated Belgian Pro League. Every club who made it to the UCL are championns and should not be underrated.

Carlos Forbs was a torn in the flesh of Barcelona defenders. He almost won the duel with Barca defenders. His speed and skills made him a threat throughout his stay on the pitch. The Belgian side will hold their shoulders high because they would have won the game if the VAR had not called for a check that disallowed a goal and a penalty.

You're very right with your analysis. Statistics don't win games and it marvels me that even coaches sometimes play by statistical analysis. It's not every game that you need to test your weak players with so there's no excuse whatsoever for the poor performance. Barcelona needed a win and that's all but it was gambled on the platter of testing wits. Club Brugge is a stubborn team who are always focusing on lapses to win their games. The game was entirely different from what I expected. Club Brugge impressed the entire football fans and the fact that they led the game all through the match was another hit too. Everything Barcelona did was fighting for a draw from the begining of the game after club Brugge's Tresoldi netted the 6th minute goal.

It was a very impressive game because the home fans were not disappointed in their home and they have every right to be sad too because they had fought real good to deserve a win. The VAR, and the own goal cost them the entire 3 points. Carlo Forbes was a real torn in their flesh and maybe if coach had analysed the team well, he could have planned ahead. Bayern Munich won this same team by 4 goals to nothing in October or does this mean that Barcelona will leave the competition anyday they meet with Bayern Munich in the knockout??

Let’s see how long they can keep up with that(everything), Liverpool did same last season and still later failed to win the UCL, all it takes is just one single game .
Against Arsenal, it shouldn’t be easy but if we are to compare just as you’ve said, there’s high possibility of  Bayern winning but you can’t still just overlook Arsenal especially against big games…  And  it’s not like they aren’t performing enough  to make a top spot in Premier League  and again, second spot in UEFA, that’s no luck either.
it’s a tough prediction.

Arsenal and Munich are arguably the strongest teams in Europe this season. Bayern Munich are probably the only team that has not dropped a single point in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. They have won all of their matches. On the other hand, Arsenal have probably lost one match and drawn one in the Premier League. They have won all of their matches in the Champions League. And another important thing is that Arsenal are the only team in the Champions League who have not conceded a goal in four matches.

Both teams have very good records this season. How can we consider one team as a favorite? We have seen the performance of Arsenal's defenders on the Champions League platform. The team has not conceded a single goal. This shows that their defense is very strong. On the other hand, Munich has not dropped a single point in any match. This gives an idea of ​​Munich's capabilities. Both teams will probably be happy if the match is drawn.

There have only been a few games in the Champions League and considering the results of these few matches, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are not really considered the strongest teams. Most of the matches in the competition are still to be played, so there are still many teams that can come back well in this competition. You have left Real Madrid and PSG out of the list of favorites, but these teams will do well, as well as Chelsea. Arsenal may win the Premier League title, but their Champions League final will definitely be a difficult affair. Similarly, I think Bayern Munich can qualify for the semi-finals at the highest.

Now if we only discuss the match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich then it must be said that there will be a tough fight between the two teams and the result is more likely to be a draw. However, since Arsenal's defenders have been performing well recently, if Arsenal can score a goal then it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to pay for that goal later.

Barcelona's financial problems continue to plague the team. If they had the financial freedom of Real Madrid, I'm sure they would have acquired good players in defense. However, due to their current financial circumstances, they're unable to add more players. This is causing them to fall behind in the competition. Winning the title last year was a truly remarkable achievement, but Real Madrid's long-term injury struggles and their use of players who weren't fit for their roles in defense were a significant factor. This year, Real Madrid has signed some key defensive players, and they're inspiring greater confidence.

Hansi Flick certainly knows his team's weaknesses and should know what steps to take to revive Barcelona's performance.
Barcelona should quickly forget this defeat and improve, In my opinion it's not just Barcelona defense that needs to be evaluated but their ineffective attack, which creates many chances, is a problem that must be addressed.
And with so much time left, I'm still optimistic about Barcelona this season, A draw against Club Brugge isn't the end of the world, in fact this is a chance for them to rise to even greater heights.

The high line of Barcelona are something else because I can't understand how they think they can keep playing this way without other teams figuring them out. Any team playing high line has to have quality defenders but Barcelona don't have much quality in their defence. Teams like Arsenal are the teams I'll say can play high lne and become good at it because they'll deliver perfectly. Barcelona though are the ones that caused the draw of their last game because they were playing well but kept on allowing Club Brugge to come back into the game because they kept on allowing them to score and barcodes was then struggling to equalize back the goals.

Club Brugge clearly capitalized on their opportunities. Barcelona were fortunate to get a draw because a crucial Club Brugge goal was disallowed in the final minute. If they had lost the match, it would have been a huge blow. Despite being one of the Champions League favorites, the Spanish team isn't playing like one. Their performance and results are making their fans unhappy.

Karabağ continues to surprise. They ended the first half ahead against Chelsea. They couldn't prevent Garnacho's goal early in the second half, but I really didn't expect them to get any points from this match. I think they have managed to be the surprise team of the Champions League so far.
Pafos managed to defeat their opponent in a strange way in a match where they were not the favorites and secured their first victory in the Champions League. Villarreal should not have made mistakes in this match, but they failed to score points away at Pafos. The away team dominated the match, but they just couldn't find the back of the net.

Garnacho was a person who did last goal of the match and that team score was 2 in this match. That team performance was at top and players performance was good in this match . They should try to play aggressive in the second half but they could not play aggressive in this match and they could not win this match. Many  betters tried to bet on that team but they lose this bet because that team could not win this match and players were lazy at the end of the match. The possession percentage of that team was great in this match but opponent team performance was good Ang they did 2 goals in the first half of the match and made a match interesting for the fans .

I expected them to get three points against Qarabağ, but getting three in Azerbaijan would have been difficult anyway. Chelsea drew that match and had to settle for a point away from home. Qarabağ is competing very well this year. Their hopes of a top-24 Champions League spot are still high. Their unbeaten run against Chelsea has further demonstrated their strong performance.

Champions league football packing some surprises of late, poor performing Liverpool stunned the great Real Madrid by a narrow win of 1nil and who would have predicted that Mbappe and company would be reduced to not seeing the ball in the back of the net  and Liverpool what ticked this time around???

Sincerely, I had that fear, No, not fear. I had that feeling that Liverpool would surprise people. We should know that struggling big teams play better with more winning zeal when they meet there fellow big teams. If we alre remember the records between these two clubs, there was nothing that would have been okay to Liverpool fans if not that winning they got. Real Madrid has messed Liverpool up severally in this competition, and winning them was a good revenge.

Liverpool might be struggling, but once they see there mates, they would wake up. It's just natural. The same thing might also happen this weekend in EPL as Liverpool faces Manchester city. So many football fans say that city will win the match, no doubt it might happen, buy Liverpool still stands a chance of winning the match too because it's a fight for position and superiority

Maybe Chelsea thought that if they chose Osimhen, it would take time for him to adapt first. . Therefore, they opted to bring in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, who have already been in the Premier League for quite some time.

But do you really believe Joao Pedro is performing well for Chelsea this season?    He also hasn't got used to the team well. He doesn't look like a good fit for big teams but let's see what he will do in the rest of the season.

However honestly I would never prefer him over Osimhen... Osimhen could be like the new Drogba for Chelsea. I'm not exaggerating. I think he is definitely more talented than Drogba. Maybe we might see him at Chelsea in the future anyway.

[el kaka22]

Wemby definitely looks like he is promising a good career at Spurs and could win championship or even more than one. But I agree that Spurs needs to really provide some great help for he people there, otherwise it is not going to happen. I mean look at how he is looking, dude is a superstar, once in a life time type of talent.

How many 7'5 or whatever centres do you know that had the handles like him and three point like him and was agile like him? This dude can block your shot without jumping, bring the ball up court, cross you over, step back to a three and fade away to a three point score, or could just jump ahead and lob to himself if you wants because from three point line to dunking takes one step. He is insane.

If they had lost the match, it would have been a huge blow. Despite being one of the Champions League favorites, the Spanish team isn't playing like one. Their performance and results are making their fans unhappy.

I don't know what happen with the referee Anthony Taylor disallow Club Brugge's goals at last minutes based the match replay there are not any fault yet, just normally contact between Romeo Vermant and Wojciech Szczęsny. Seeing VAR still not advantage yet for Club Brugge and have get one points for this match although more dominance controlling the games. Barcelona playing poorly when holding draw by Club Brugge last match in Champion League and terrible performance with defense's players, its must be improve by the manager if won't easily conceded many goals every match after offside trap not working as well as.

Barcelona loss 5 points of 4 matches in Champion League, right now collecting 7 points of 12 points must achieved after losing from PSG and holding draw by Club Brugge. If won't qualifying to knock out trough playoff round I think Barcelona must win four matches left and secure the top 9th standings position are automatically qualifying to 16 of round.

Chelsea is sentimental when it comes to buying players if not, they should be the one benefiting from Osimhen current glory and not Galatasaray. I remembered when Osimhen was having issues with Napoli, Chelsea used that opportunity to bring down his pay which he didn't accept because it was too poor for him. Look at all the strikers Chelsea signed after that time, none of them have scored the number of goals Osimhen have scored.

It's also important to note that the league is different and the team's playing style too. It's just an assumption that Osimhen would flourish in that Chelsea squad. Also, the fact that there isn't a playmaker in the squad in Palmer is also affecting Pedro's play.
