UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[rangga28]

Chelsea-Barcelona was a 1X2 match before the game, everything could have happened because Chelsea are in a very good momentum while Barcelona are great attacking but a disaster when they need to defend. For all this reasons I thought a draw could have been the most logic result but the red card changed everything.

I'm actually surprised by Leverkusen's victory in England, ok the rotations but I think Guardiola really underestimated the Germans.

A pretty good result for Chelsea in that match because they managed to beat Barcelona with a big score even though at first I doubted that Barcelona would lose against Chelsea. Defense was a big problem in this match because Barcelona was unable to keep up with attack after attack built by Chelsea players so that Barcelona's defense was easier to penetrate. Moreover, red card received Araujo made it difficult for Barcelona to keep up with the game and this was a big advantage for Chelsea, who were superior in number of players. Pep Guardiola seemed to underestimate Leverkusen because the rotation they carried out did not work optimally and this was a consecutive defeat for Manchester City, who previously also lost in the Premier League.

Enzo Maresca has studied Barcelona's current weakness, namely their weak defense, so Chelsea's players didn't waste the opportunity and immediately bombarded them. Furthermore, the Blues are currently in a very happy mood due to their positive performance in the domestic competition. Meanwhile, the poor defense makes it difficult for Barcelona to develop a rhythm, making it very easy for the hosts to dictate the match. A 3-0 victory is crucial for the Blues to stay in the top eight.

Manchester City seems to have suffered a major setback in the last two seasons. It's hard to believe their performances have fallen far short of expectations. The defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Pep Guardiola. I don't see his fault in rotating players because all of City's players are capable.

I am very disappointed to see Barcelona's results like this. I never expected them to play like this against Chelsea, maybe no one expected it. It was beyond imagination that the entire Barcelona team would perform so poorly. When Barcelona conceded the first goal, it was completely their own mistake. If they had not been caught offside, Chelsea would have won by a much larger margin. But even now they have won by a much larger margin. They won by 0 - 3 goals, which is not a small victory at all.

Barcelona's position should be restored to its previous situation as soon as possible. If they continue to perform like this, they may be eliminated from this season very soon.

At the start of the game, I was ruthing for Chelsea to win because of the disrespectful statement made by lamine yamal that the big match they played was against atletico Bilbao  that the Chelsea game is just a champions league game, that it's not a big match, so that was the main reason I wanted Chelsea to teach his team a lesson, and to be honest, I wasn't disappointed, they were well beaten to my satisfaction 

The defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Pep Guardiola. I don't see his fault in rotating players because all of City's players are capable.

Manchester city are just useless, like am just pissed off by how they spoil the bet I made last night, a game I have already bet on the game playing over 1.5, but I mistakenly change it to home team to win, and that was my downfall because all other games I played over 1.5 all played as expected, it was this useless Manchester city team that did me dirty.

Chelsea has always been like this. They sometimes become very strong when facing strong teams. They have young players who are never afraid or nervous when facing strong teams like Barcelona. In fact, they seem to feel challenged and more excited to win. Well, this isn't the first or second time Chelsea has won against a team considered tough in Europe.

However, seeing Barcelona unable to score a goal in this match is truly disappointing. Because usually, even if Barcelona's defense has conceded a goal, Barcelona is always able to score at least one goal in return. The sending off of Ronald Araujo due to a red card seems to have had a significant impact. Because the team's defense was already quite weak and had gaps. Now, with one fewer player at the back, the result is as we see it now. And that's not surprising, as Chelsea also capitalized on their numerical advantage.

In first half, match was completely balanced even Chelsea was leading by 1 goal but at the end of first half Araujo red card bring Barcelona down, and they were not able to have anything positive in second half this was turning point in this match.

Chelsea took good advantage and score 2 more goals which helps them to have win in this crucial game with this win now chances are high they will stay at good position till end of this round Barcelona have chances, but they needed to be done good work before next game against Frankfurt. Due to injuries Barcelona facing serious problems their attack and defense both are losing their depth this could be serious problem for them in coming games as well they are having challenging time due to competitive performance of their opponents.

Barcelona currently sits in 15th place. They lost to Chelsea and looked very inadequate as a team. Chelsea played magnificently and reminded me of the trophy they won in the summer. They played just as well against Paris Saint-Germain. We expect Chelsea to play like this every match. But in some matches, they play really poorly.

Chelsea played so well that Barcelona didn't have much room to develop their game. I don't think Barcelona played badly because of any mistakes, but these are two strong teams, so when one of them can develop their game, they can dominate. I don't think that's a surprise, as Chelsea are a strong team this season.

Hansi Flick really needs to strengthen his team if they want to compete fiercely in this season's Champions League competition. His team's strength this season has improved, while Barcelona's performance is still the same as last season, making it difficult for them to compete if they don't improve.

I never expected Barcelona to be this poor against Chelsea, this was a team that have been playing well, but at the end of the day the game resulted to nothing for Barcelona and they now find themselves in a critical position which is unexpected, and they might just end up not qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 because the way it’s now looking for them it might just be very difficult for them.

They made Chelsea obviously look good in the game and Chelsea aren’t a very good team, they have been messing up recently, I’m surprised that Barcelona didn’t even score one goal and Lamine Yamal was very poor with his style of play, but in games like this getting a draw would’ve been better, especially when you aren’t in a good position, and Araujo didn’t help the team at all he should’ve been very careful before getting that Red card which is disorganized the game.

[MinMan]

I thought Manchester City could break the losing trend, apparently not. I wouldn't say that Pep Guardiola was gambling in that match because he chose Haaland on the bench, not as a starter.

Galatasaray also lost in front of the public itself. I think there is nothing missing from the Galatasaray squad, but they were unable to deliver a win.
This is football. The unexpected can win. Vice versa.

Football is now completely different game with too many surprises happening. Teams which were invincible now facing surprising results. In yesterday games, first Galatasaray faced defeat at home as their attack without Osimhen was completely crap Icardi fail to create any solid chance.

Manchester City at Etihad Stadium had another worst display of performance they completely fail to produce performance which was their trademark in last few years now after 2 weeks they are going to have visited Bernabéu where things could be problematic for them. Marmoush completely fail to produce good performance Manchester City defense was also out of touch in this game against average Bayer Leverkusen now in coming side they are going to host another English club Newcastle United.

[Black Mbaye]

Chelsea had a fantastic win yesterday. They played brilliantly against Barcelona. Barcelona, ​​too, had no chance after Araujo received a red card, leaving their team short. Chelsea could have scored more goals. Many chances were ruled out for offside. If they hadn't been caught offside so often, they might have scored five or six. Despite everything, the three points they got against Barcelona were invaluable. For Barcelona, ​​it's safe to say they're on high alert. They're currently far from the top eight, with only three matches remaining.

[Polkeins]

Disappointing, that was the impression of Barcelona and Manchester City fans today. Barcelona trailed Chelsea 3-0 at half-time, while Manchester City were poor at home and trailed 0-2. Barcelona lost with 10 men, while Manchester City looked like they underestimated Leverkusen when I saw their starting line-up. It wasn't a good day for either team, but Chelsea and Leverkusen have something to be thankful for.

Chelsea were so good with their game, they didn't make many mistakes, their superior number of players allowed them to freely dominate the match. Barcelona kept trying their best, but Chelsea's defense was really difficult to penetrate until the end. Lamine Yamal couldn't do much in this match, he didn't have space to build a measured attack until he was substituted.

Really surprising that both Barcelona and Man City lost so easily. Especially Barcelona that got outplayed in every single way and lost easily 3-0. Man City lost at home against a team that isnt that good this season at all. I think on Barcelona match it was all over once they got the red card. Yamal isnt playing that well and is not in form currently and we can see it in their play that something wasnt right. I wonder how this loss will now affect Barcelona in all competitions

These defeats are very different in nature, because City started the game with a reserve squad and apparently thought they could beat Bayer without playing at full strength, but it turned out that after 70 minutes City was losing 0-2 at home and then Guardiola brought on Haaland and tried to turn the game around, but it was too late.
I didn't like the play of substitute goalkeeper Trafford, who I think could have saved City in the moments leading up to the goals, but he played very uncertainly and now I think Guardiola will put him on the bench again.

Barcelona's defeat was due to Araujo's sending off and it is extremely difficult to play against a team like Chelsea with one man down.
Without that sending off, I don't think Barcelona would have lost so badly.

[NotATether]

No, Chelsea have been playing great these past few games. Haven't you seen Estevao play? He makes us forget that Palmer is injured. Especially that goal he scored to make it 2-0. Very Hazard-esque.

Barca, and specifically Araujo, screwed up, and Chelsea took full advantage of that.

[W Jr.]

The most eye-catching match of today's matches will undoubtedly be Arsenal and Bayern Munich in England. Neither team has dropped any points yet and will play each other today. Both teams have won four of their matches, sitting on 12 points and are practically guaranteed a spot in the top eight. This match will also demonstrate the superiority they aim to establish over each other. Arsenal, being the home team, enjoys an advantage, so let's see what happens next. Let's not forget Manchester City's 2-0 home defeat to another German team yesterday. This is the Champions League, and any score could be a real possibility.

[Arenga pinnata]

Manchester City seems to have suffered a major setback in the last two seasons. It's hard to believe their performances have fallen far short of expectations. The defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Pep Guardiola. I don't see his fault in rotating players because all of City's players are capable.

Yes, it's hard to believe. Because, just as you said, they played below everyone's expectations. But honestly, I didn't like the starting lineup Pep chose for that match. Man City seemed to be conserving energy or something at the beginning. And I think one of the reasons for Man City's defeat was because the starting lineup was unusual. Yet the initial rhythm is often the most crucial. It would have been better if Pep had started with all his best players from the beginning and then substituted them in the second half once Manchester City had secured the score. Although Manchester City's second-string players are also excellent, they still aren't as good as their key players.

Don't be too disappointed in Barcelona because they played a very good team. You also know that Barcelona is still battling injury problems that made some of their key players unfit and absent. When I learnt of the squad that will play the match, I knew that they will not find things easy with an experienced team like Chelsea which is why i was not too disappointed. But it's normal to expect so much from an A team like Barca which is why your anger is justified.

[satscraper]

As for Manchester City, I'm picking a Manchester City win. Leverkusen is also a strong team, but Manchester City's desire to win this match is greater because they just lost in the domestic league.

This is exactly my thought regarding this match. I will bet on Manchester City.

Another match to consider is Galatasaray against Union St.-Gilloise. Probably it is worth to bet on Galatasaray. Osimhen should show his muscles.

Both lost.

I thought Manchester City could break the losing trend, apparently not. I wouldn't say that Pep Guardiola was gambling in that match because he chose Haaland on the bench, not as a starter.

Galatasaray also lost in front of the public itself. I think there is nothing missing from the Galatasaray squad, but they were unable to deliver a win.

I’m very frustrated with Galatasaray’s result in their match against Union Saint-Gilloise. Osimhen was not in the lineup. If I had known that he wouldn’t be playing, I would never have bet on Galatasaray, but I somehow missed this and placed my bet on their win. Unfortunately, the miracle didn’t happen. They had plenty of opportunities to score, but none were converted. Sane is not equal to Osimhen. I’m really, really frustrated.

Barca, and specifically Araujo, screwed up, and Chelsea took full advantage of that.

You can say that again sir, Estevao Willian truly makes Chelsea not to feel the absence of Cole palmer and if he can stay humble, it will not be a problem for him to continue in this vein of form in the blue colour of Chelsea.
Another players in the Chelsea team that I enjoyed watching last night is cucurella and Pedro Neto, they really run riot and cucurella was just playing with so much aggression and energy like someone under the influence of drugs, and due to how he was marking and playing, lamine yamal was just frustrated all through since he can't have his way, congratulation to Chelsea on this victory that pass a message across that they should not be underrated this season, and they have proven that the club world cup that they won is not by luck or chance, but it's well deserving.

[Zackz5000]

Barcelona versus Chelsea will be a great game without a doubt, both teams are on form and should be fighting with their best. I am not sure how the injury situation at Barcelona is, and who is coming back or not coming back but that will decide on the game a lot. Because if they are still missing this many players, then we are going to see how things could change and how we could see Barcelona lose this game. But if they do have a few players back, specially at midfield, then they may beat Chelsea easily as well because they can overtake the midfield.

We need to realize that this is going to be a tough one and we are not going to easily see this happen, we should be focusing on how to get better results one way or another and in this case we are going to see things change a lot.

This game you are analysing now has been played yesterday and Chelsea won Barcelona 3-0, Barcelona performance was very poor and they finished the HT with 10 men Araujo was book his second yellow card for a very bad tackle on Chelsea player which sent him off the game.

Chelsea also took over the game in the second half it was a big win for Chelsea i believe they red card made the score line to look unbelievable for those who will hear it that Chelsea won Barcelona 3-0. I don't see Barcelona as UEFA Champions league tittle contenders this season, the team is also suffering from injuries some of Barcelona star boys are injured.

Chelsea shows a clear difference in the match that are better than Barcelona at the moment. Though I think Barcelona missing a key players due to injury especially Pedri is highly missed in this game because the midfield was opened and easy for Chelsea to dominate and they get to punish Barca for that. Ronald Aruajo red card made a big impact and weakens Barcelona more even before the red card there was gap in the defense. Barcelona will find their rhythm back again like last season they just need to focus more on their game and Hansi flick should adjust that high line because Barcelona defense is weak and it’s obvious. It was an easy game for Chelsea they deserve the credit.

Barcelona's weak defense has been a topic of discussion for several years, but they're still hesitant to make significant defensive signings. Barcelona may be in dire financial straits, but if they don't succeed, they won't be able to find the resources either. That's why I think they need to bring in a few good defenders. Last year, I think Araujo was shown a red card in a crucial match. You need to be much more careful in such matches, but if you make these simple mistakes, your team will never come back.
