UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[$weetne$$]

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.

It has obviously been a rough season for club Brugge, I have seen that even know their domestic league, their performance this season has not been at all impressive and so I do not expect to see any better in the champions league that is even more competitive and comes with even more pressure than they have back at their domestic league. One thing I do not really know about is the possible cause of their set back but I wantbto believe they are already working towards getting better.

Galatasaray is just underrated this season because there's no concrete reason why a team like Galatasaray having these star players and still yet, they're underrated. This was never the picture anyone spot for Galatasaray, they've grown with these players and didn't relent, bringing more key players inother to persuade Greatness.

Galatasaray are handling their matches well, look what they did to Ajax last night, humbled their oppositions as if it's one of these random league games. This is the UEFA Champions League and I urge everyone to give Galatasaray the recognition they deserves this season. Galatasaray top striker made it to the top goals scorer on the leader board.

This season's Champions League match against Liverpool was the game that changed everything for them. We saw a truly fantastic Galatasaray in that match. Galatasaray gained great momentum, but this league isn't about momentum; it's about consistency. If they win two more matches, we can say they've achieved consistency, and I think they're very close to doing so because they have fantastic stars like Osimhen and Sane. I think Galatasaray are now a nightmare for their opponents...

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.

We can only assume, but what is certain is that not all players perform brilliantly after changing clubs. Osimhen previously performed well with Napoli, and he also maintained his form after being loaned to Galatasaray, but who can guarantee he will shine if he moves to Chelsea?

Different playing styles and strategies can affect a player's performance. Anthony wasn't able to do much when he joined Man United, but he became a superstar when he wore the Real Betis jersey. However, he should try the sensation of the EPL which is known to be very competitive, if he succeeds in conquering one of the top 5 leagues in Europe, it is likely that Osimhen will win the UCL trophy with Chelsea, hopefully it can happen.

Until 4 games only 3 teams who can collect 12 points and they are Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Inter Milan but if we speaking about the defense i think the best team is belong to Arsenal because from 4 games they still cleansheet and i think compared to last season Arsenal has successfully to improved their performance and if they can playing consistent i think top 8 can be achieved without any problem but Arsenal has hard fixture because for games 5 they will fight against strong team Bayern Munich and Arsenal has bad experience from Bayern Munich because last season Arsenal were eliminated on the quarterfinal from Bayern

Arsenal still faces Inter in the Champions League. If Arsenal draws against Munich, it would not be a bad result. Both teams' positions should be safe enough to advance to the next round. However, both teams will certainly want to achieve the best possible result in the match. The match will be difficult to predict, as Arsenal has performed better this season. The game will surely be different from their last encounter.

Yeah Barcelona were nearly about to lose the game but the disallowed goal saved them. Hansi Flick's students don't really look good recently. Not as much as Real Madrid.

One can say they lost to Liverpool and it would have been a heavy one if it weren't for Courtois. But I mean they are still ahead of Barcelona in the Champions League and La Liga both.

Exactly, that disallowed goal really saved Barcelona, and they were so close to another disappointing result. It’ is true that under Hansi Flick, the team still does not look fully settled yet. They play well in moments, but there is a lack of consistency and control compared to Real Madrid.

Playmakers can certainly influence others on the team, but wingers and midfielders are also essential to make the playmaker more vibrant. This season, Chelsea still desperately needs more tactical refinement to strengthen the team. If they can bring in some other players who can make a big impact, I think Chelsea could become a team that will continue to overwhelm opponents, as Chelsea haven't had a bad run of results in other competitions lately.

Ajax and Benfica are the 2 worst teams of the CL at the moment. Both have 0 points. Ajax has sacked Heitinga already as I said before.

I wonder when Mourinho will be next.    He had better be competitive for the title race in Liga Portugal.

In addition I don't see him as a good manager for today with utmost respect to his previous achievements.

Some clubs are meant for some coaches and some coaches for some clubs
. If Erik Ten Han had remained in Ajax, he would have achieved many things. Whenever Ajax is mentioned, I just about Erik Ten Han.

I wonder when Mourinho will be next.    He had better be competitive for the title race in Liga Portugal.

In addition I don't see him as a good manager for today with utmost respect to his previous achievements.

Wait, it was not just too long that Mourinho went to Benfica, why are you talking about sack now. Is he not performing well there?

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??

This is basically similar to what I talk about with Technically Analysis when trading in the crypto world; what else are you going to do? Statistical analysis of a team is important, how much they run, how many tackles they win, basically never even have to watch the game one minute and just look at the paper and make a decision on who is doing how, you could even end up making substitution in the game.

What is the other alternative? Trusting the experience of the manager and letting him make the decisions? Well we have seen how that worked out, some managers like Pep are great, but some suck and drop the team to lower than where they should. Managers can be wild, even Pep had a month long loss with City. Statistics however, shows exactly what it is.

Arsenal always starts the season strong and plays really well at the beginning, but then their form drops, and the team can’t maintain their winning streak. Arteta is a great manager, but i think it’s time for him to actually win something, instead of being satisfied with smaller achievements. We’ll see how Arsenal performs against Bayern. I feel it’s going to be a tough match, but i give Arsenal a better chance they seem more determined and faster, while on the other hand, Bayern is once again playing very good football.

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.

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.

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.

Smiles adaptation you said, bro so long as Victor Osimhen is concern he can fit in any league and any clubs at all given time, Victor Osimhen is unarguably one of the most clinical players as it stands, and could you believe Victor Osimhen was not among the FIFA Best men striker and people like joa Pedro are there, the fact is the recist is too much, that's just the reason, because howw do I explain to someone that Napoli has a player like Victor Osimhen and let him go for no reason then went ahead to sign Hojlund how do we explain that, so for that just leave Chelsea out of that, remember Chelsea now have a new owner not like the one that use to love African players.

Yes. Barcelona nearly lost this match, fortunately, Club Brugge's goal was disallowed by the referee. In my opinion Barcelona had two very obvious problems in this match, and Flick must immediately correct these mistakes in the next match. The first mistake Barcelona's final regret in this match was very bad. Second, defense must be a priority for Flick to improve immediately because a high defensive line like this is very easily breached by opponents on the counterattack.

One can say they lost to Liverpool and it would have been a heavy one if it weren't for Courtois. But I mean they are still ahead of Barcelona in the Champions League and La Liga both.

Yes. Liverpool deserved to win this match because they played an intense and effective game. Liverpool should have scored three goals in this match, but Courtois was very good in this match, making saves. Real Madrid played poorly in this match, their play was not developing, and Xabi Alanso seemed unable to find a solution when the deadlock occurred.
But in the UCL competition it is difficult to predictsometimes a team that performs perfectly in the group stage will not guarantee becoming champions, Real Madrid's draw and defeat do not destroy the two teams as UCL favorites this season.

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.

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.

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.

And also most Barcelona first eleven at now injured and probably some already coming back from injury. Injury is also affecting them.

Inigo martinez is the players that make Barcelona defender better last season and make the highline work perfectly, but now that is not in the squad they are facing difficult problems in the competition Hansi Flick need to look for another pattern to be using because this season many clubs as started to understand the highline patterns f Hansi Flick and he will lose alot of matches if he said he will continue winning that tactic if he didn't change it. They are facing celta vigo Tomorrow and the club are in there best form and even Barcelona will get three point with them they will surly find it difficult to get the victory against them. Let see if Hansi Flick will get victory against celta vigo tomorrow and they are playing in away.

Actually, their young players are quite good but when they don't have someone older and can be used as a role model or encouragement then indeed they are like chicks losing their mother and this is the case for Barcelona's current condition.

It cannot be denied that the performance of their young players in defense is quite good, it's just that they are still unstable which makes the situation more complicated than imagined.
Letting Inigo go without looking for an alternative is a bad enough situation and we can see that after Inigo left the squad, their defense actually looked very vulnerable where the schemes instructed from the sidelines could not make them turn this into momentum.

So far, Arsenal still look very much better but in the end this condition could change even though they are now very good especially since the league phase still has 4 weeks left.

On the one hand, actually for things like this is also not a guarantee because indeed the real test for them I think lies in the knock out phase later.
We know that Liverpool last season was very victorious in the ligha phase but they could not do much for the knock out phase and even had to be eliminated early.
So in this case I might not even be too surprised later if the conditions of the clubs that are in the top 3 now are a little difficult in the knock out phase because after all even though they are the favourites and the best now but there is no guarantee for the next phase in the Champions League (in the next phase).

Yes, that's how Arsenal always starts well and ends poorly. 😁
Ahead of the upcoming match, it seems we shouldn't expect a win from either club.
Previously, when Bayern faced PSG, many predicted PSG would win because PSG's previous performance was very good and they were capable of beating Bayern, but Bayern won.
Meanwhile, in the upcoming match, Arsenal may not have the motivation to beat Bayern because it's difficult to beat them, and to secure their position, Arsenal will likely fight for a draw

Arteta has not yet fully succeeded in getting his team out of that bad cycle, whenever they need a win to assert their dominance, they often lose momentum. Their recent draw against Sunderland in the Premier League was clearly very disappointing. Meanwhile, regarding Arsenal upcoming match against Bayern Munich, it is not impossible that the game could also end in a draw.

On paper, Bayern Munich are actually more deserving of being considered the favorites, although in their last Bundesliga match they were also held to a draw by Union Berlin. However, since Arsenal will be playing at home, bookmakers might view them as the favorites. Bayern Munich victory over PSG serves as a signal that Kompany side have quite a strong bargaining position going into the match.
