UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Obari]

Newcastle being this good at UCL is shocking to me too. They are not really that much of a great team and I am sure that with the games coming up they will mostly lose points but top 24 is basically guaranteed for them.

Another big shocker for me is Galatasaray, having three wins and nine points, as much points as the fifth place, only differentiated by the goal difference because of their horrible first game. It's clear that we are seeing how things are moving here and because of that we should be able to actually see how things could change. I agree that some of these teams will go down, they are not going to stay up here, but the fact that they already reached here is a proof that they have done better than expected.

Shocking results coming direct from the UEFA Champions League. There's clearly something you should know when it comes to football especially in the UEFA Champions League. There are concrete levels these teams are ready to go and making themselves upright for games. Galatasaray already proven their point in the UEFA Champions League, this is not longer the time to underestimate any club, any club that have a fix game, I would urge these elite teams never to underrate any club and go straight with full force.

That's the most interesting thing about Arsenal's fast game, it's hard for their opponents to hold back, from what we see Arsenal lacks defenders so they have to be driven by fast play or unexpected counter-attacks.
I admit Arsenal still looks strong in the Champions League and not for the domestic league. The international break is over, it's likely that many players' performance will decline, plus there are injured players. Hopefully that doesn't happen so that all competitions will be interesting and Arsenal is better off focusing on the Champions League.

Arsenal have to play a game like this, they can't afford to do anything else and they know it well, that's why they base their entire game on speed and that's what they always do, clearly these players are rockets but they get tired easily, they have to see what happens when they face a technical team

Nooo, I must admit, this season so far Arsenal's defence has really improved and I think they are better defense wise this season than previous seasons. Just check out the number of few goals they have conceded so far. This very Arsenal team went a whole month without conceding a single goal. The crazy part is that they even did it in the champions league after 4 matches played, no goal conceded. That's an improvement from the defensive side of you ask me.

Although their position in the Champions League might be maintained, in the Premier League, Liverpool's situation is indeed not good. They started the season well, but their last few matches ended badly. This shows the inconsistency of their play. I don't know the reason for their decline in performance. What is certain is that in the Champions League, if they can't be consistent, what will happen is elimination. As you said, the competition will become even tougher.

Is Liverpool's poor performance in the Champions League? I don't think so. We have seen Liverpool win the last two matches after losing against Galatasaray. Liverpool won by a big margin against Frankfurt. Liverpool also won against the most experienced squad in the Champions League like Madrid. Although  the team's performance in the Premier League is weak, they are able to play well in the champions league matches.

Liverpool will play against PSV and Inter milan in their next two champions league matches. I have full faith that liverpool can secure knockout round qualification from the  top 8 of the table. Despite failing to perform well in Premier League , Liverpool players are giving full effort in Champions League matches.

The solidity of the defensive area is one of the keys to Arsenal reaching the peak of their performance, they always maintain a good defense so that very few goals are conceded this season. Before the 2-2 draw with Sunderland, Arsenal had kept a clean sheet in eight consecutive matches in all competitions, an impressive record that is very difficult for other teams to achieve. Even PSG the defending champions, were unable to achieve it. The cohesiveness of Arsenal's players has brought them in a better direction, perhaps they will have an easier time in the title race in the EPL, but in the UCL, consistency is needed because the pressure from both on and off the field is very big.

[Danica22]

In their last five matches, Ajax has only won once, while Benfica has only lost once in their last five matches. Therefore, there's a chance Benfica can win again at Ajax's home ground in their next Champions League match. However, each team still has plenty of time to prepare optimally, as their match will take place in 12 days, so there's also a possibility for Ajax. However, I still have more confidence in Benfica because they have consistently looked better than Ajax, even though they are both ranked lower in the Champions League standings.

The match between Ajax vs benfica is going to be very interesting. Because both these teams have not been able to earn any points in this Champions league so far. They have lost all four matches in the hampions League. So in this match, either team will open  their points account. Ajax is in a very bad form  this  season. Benfica has also lost all four of their matches, but they are still in a slightly better position than Ajax. But this match is Ajax's home match. So it  is difficult to consider the favorite team. My guess is that the match will be a draw. The match is likely to end in 1-1.

[bastisisca]

Liverpool seem to be having difficulties in the premier league but they are doing well in the champions league, you can see that they have won three of their four matches in the champions league, and losing only one which was against Galaterssary and the only goal they conceded in that match was through a penalty kick. they are already among the top eight teams in the champions league table currently and they seem to be gradually having their confidence back especially after beating Real Madrid in their last champions league match, so i think Liverpool wont have any problem qualifying from the group stage.

He is suffering a lot from this without a doubt, even from the perspective of doing the best he can with the little he does, in my opinion he should concentrate exclusively on one objective, either getting as far as possible in the Champions League or securing a place for the next Champions League.
I don't think either of them are feasible

[giorgione]

Benfica is much better in my opinion because Ajax's performance in the domestic league and the Champions League has been less convincing, but that doesn't mean Benfica can easily beat Ajax. This match is a bit more difficult to predict because both teams are evenly matched, and Ajax may have a slight advantage because the match will be played at home, so their motivation is certainly much higher. I don't see a draw in this match because I'm more confident Benfica can win. Even if I'm wrong, I think Ajax will win the match and it won't end in a draw.

Benfica seems more solid, while Ajax has shown ups and downs both in the league and in the Champions League. They are certainly two very interesting teams that come from two very different leagues, but I see Ajax very well because the league seems to be tougher.

That is a noticeable development because they are better now than before defensively, what I notice about arsenal this season is that are more prepared now than last season, the reason for what i said is m, when a team has what they want to achieve in mind, you will see them paying differently, aside conceding few goals as you highlighted, they have also performed better in the English premier League and the also in the UEFa champions League, I think those are good signs that they started this season with a good a plan but my concern here arsenal as a team has always been sustainability, I can only grade them low in their defense because I have not seen any reason for that.

[Abu-Naim]

The squad Arsenal have now is not a weak one, and I don’t think they can get tired easily because the coach is wise enough to be rotating these players since he believe all these quality, against injuries and fatigue.
If you noticed well, they have playing without their captain and they still win matches because they have other players to play in that position, and defensively, they have second defensive line which is better than some big team defensive line to be honest, I don’t think tiredness will worry Arsenal team this season.

Now, most of their injured players will be back in action after international brake, it will give these players that have been playing chance to be having some games off for their strength.

After Bayern Munich, Arsenal should be the best team in the Champions League this season based on in performance and squad.

The match between Ajax vs benfica is going to be very interesting. Because both these teams have not been able to earn any points in this Champions league so far. They have lost all four matches in the hampions League. So in this match, either team will open  their points account. Ajax is in a very bad form  this  season. Benfica has also lost all four of their matches, but they are still in a slightly better position than Ajax. But this match is Ajax's home match. So it  is difficult to consider the favorite team. My guess is that the match will be a draw. The match is likely to end in 1-1.

The remaining four matches are a formality for Ajax and Benfica after failing to pick up any points in their previous matches. Even if one of these teams manages to win the match, the result will not change the situation because it is very likely that they will lose points again in the next match.
In my opinion, the chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very small due to not being able to compete with other teams. Actually, Ajax and Benfica are regular teams that qualify for the Champions League, but their performance this season is very bad, even worse than other weak teams.

I don't see much chance for either Ajax or Benfica in the round of 16. Especially Ajax who are very weak in the Champions League. Although Benfica are regulars in the Champions League, they seem very weak this season. They weren't too weak last season, they could have won at least a few matches, qualified for the round of 16. The most important thing is to be able to win matches, where Benfica is very weak this season. Judging by the experience in the Ajax vs. Benfica match, I will trust Benfica.

[cande86]

This is certainly a highly anticipated match, as both teams are evenly matched and currently top the domestic league. I'm curious about Arsenal performance in this season Champions League, as they'll be facing one of the toughest teams to beat. Even though Arsenal are playing at home, it doesn't guarantee an easy win.

Bayern munich will be playing with their best squad in this match. I want to see Diaz score in this match because he is no stranger to facing Arsenal, he really understands how to beat strong Premier League teams. Bayern munich is also very strong in defense this season because several teams they have faced in the Champions League, of course, they were able to overcome with such a strong defense. Arteta will try to find a way to beat Bayern because if he succeeds, the Arsenal players' enthusiasm will continue to burn in every match they play in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich will definitely play to win because they are a team that could win or come very close to winning this year, and it's clear that everyone wants to do so.
but they have something more and this year it shows, i am sure they will do well, they have to be very careful

[Derekfunds]

The match between Ajax vs Benfica in the UEFA Champions League will start in a few days. I don't know which team will win this match. If we look at the points table of the two teams, the two teams are almost on an equal footing. The team that can do better will win, and if the teams perform equally, the match will be a draw.

In their last five matches, Ajax has only won once, while Benfica has only lost once in their last five matches. Therefore, there's a chance Benfica can win again at Ajax's home ground in their next Champions League match. However, each team still has plenty of time to prepare optimally, as their match will take place in 12 days, so there's also a possibility for Ajax. However, I still have more confidence in Benfica because they have consistently looked better than Ajax, even though they are both ranked lower in the Champions League standings.

Have you try to check Ajax and Benfica head to head, maybe with that you can somehow be able to predict the game but currently Ajax is really a mess I mean they have not been playing well lately and I don't really know what is the problem unlike some others champions league they use to be hot and even last season, Ajax was very strong and that was the reason they qualified for champions league this season. I have the feelings they won't go more further in this champions league if at all they will be able to qualify in this stage because Benfica is better than Ajax right now so there is a high chance Benfica will win them.

Arsenal certainly have fast players and a fast game, but don't be mistaken, Bayern Munich is no exception. Both teams have similar playing styles and arguably equally strong squads. So this match will be a tight one.

Last season, Arsenal couldn't match Bayern Munich's game, which prevented them from advancing to the next round. This season, I just hope Arsenal can put up a good fight against Bayern. A draw is fine, but a win would be extraordinary. Honestly Arsenal are in good form right now but Bayern Munich are far better.
Furthermore Bayern Munich is somewhat unique in its strategy. The placement of players like Kane, who was once used as an AMF, will be a hidden weapon for Bayern Munich, and Arsenal this season has almost equal strength in every line. I wonder who will emerge from the intense pressure in this game.

But one thing is for sure Arsenal must be wary of Kane because he is a dangerous player. Even when Kane was playing in EPL, Kane always scored against the Gunners. So if Arsenal want to win they must be closely guarded by Saliba so that Kane cannot score a goal, and Arsenal must take the lead first if they want to win against Bayern Munich.

[bastisisca]

Arsenal have a huge advantage as they will be playing at home, they haven't concede at home this season so Bayern Munich might find it very difficult to break them. Well for me the game could go either side and any side that eventually comes out on top won't be a surprise to me.

It will certainly be a clash of titans, Arsenal who are top of the Premier League and Bayern, who certainly need no introduction.
Now as we move forward we should gradually have more entertaining matches in the Champions League, at least that's what a fan of the beautiful game like me hopes for.

I like the fact that you said more entertaining matches in the champions league. The last UEFA fixed two matches that were supposed to be played separately so people can watch both matches comfortably but they fixed both Liverpool Vs Real Madrid and PSG Vs Bayern Munich. Although, the Real Madrid game seemed to be boring because only one side was making almost all the threats and the PSG Vs Bayern Munich game was the real clash of titans and both teams were attacking each other at reckless abandon. When the Champions League resumes again, we all will be hoping to watch the Bayern Vs Arsenal game as it seems to be the main banger on that Wednesday.

[verdinio]

I prefer Arsenal's fast-paced game, not a defense that can withstand any opponent's attacks. Arsenal still looks strong this season, although no one knows how they will fare towards the end of the season. This is because, in recent seasons, including last season, Arsenal have always been good at the start of the season, and even beat a team that already won fifteen Champions League titles last season. But this season, it looks like we'll see a more intense match once the international break is over and all teams return to action in all competitions, including the Champions League.

Arsenal is very strong and i think it is very competitive compared to other teams that are present in the championship, so i think they can do much more than what they are doing and if they were to succeed it will be a big problem for them, now they have to see what they want to do, but in my opinion they can win

Unarguably arsenal are really doing better than they were in previous seasons, even though they have issues with being consistent they have proven to be better this season. Their defense and attack has improved a lot, it's a little bit difficult to compare them with bayern Munich. But currently they are the best teams both in their league and in the champions league, let's see if arsenal can stay consistent this time.

[ginsan]

Ajax is the worst team the champions league has at the moment, they have no wins at all and they are very fragile, there is no hope of winning for them in champions league matches, except against teams below them, Benfica is a team that has the same fate in the champions league, and now they meet, there is no motivation to continue in the champions league, but at least not being the bottom position is the best choice in this match.

Both will be fighting hard for points so as not to be too humiliated in the champions league, it's quite a shame not to have any points from the 8 matches they have to do in the champions league, a draw is very possible, but I think that this match Ajax can win it because they have the home advantage.

I have only watched benfica played once in the uefa champions league this season against Chelsea football club, and am sure that they are not as bad as ajax, though I may be wrong, but with what I have seen so far from ajax, you are certainly not wrong when you said that they are the worst team in the uefa champions league this season, because their losing have been emphatic in almost all their games, so on that note, due to the fact that they are too lose at the back, I believe that benfica will edge them out in this game even though they are playing at home.

Even if they had a very positive impression on you in the match against Chelsea, and of course what about other matches like against Newcastle united and or Leverkusen? Benfica played well enough, at least well enough even though they still didn't win here.

In their h2h history also indeed Benfica is superior, they get 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses to Ajax, it is very reasonable for you to believe that Benfica is more likely to get a victory in this match than Ajax, I also think Ajax can win because he is the host who certainly prepares the best service for his guests who come, but overall statistics in fact Benfica is superior.
