UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Shineup]

Galatasaray, Manchester City, and FC Barcelona they all put up a disappointing performance and I really don't find it funny but something is actually wrong some how, tho FC Barcelona game is somehow understandable because Chelsea is fund of surprises when it comes to this unexpected winnings, and again Galatasaray is also quite understandable to because of too much of the injury players they've got for now, but Manchester City is the one I can't kill into, like this lost was totally out of the picture and I'm sensing danger, they lost to Newcastle United in the English premier League and again lost to Bayern Leverkusen, hmm something is actually wrong somehow.

[TelolettOm]

Most Barcelona fans think Chelsea is still a shit club they can win any time and they think Chelsea got lucky winning PSG as well.

They feel they have Yamla, a talented young player with world-class performance, so they always feel confident in every match. But they may forget that Chelsea is currently on the rise, their mentality is getting higher and higher, especially now that Chelsea has another young player who is also very good, namely Estevão.

Estevão is one of three young players to have scored in every match in three consecutive matches starts. The other two are Haaland (19y 107d) and Mbappé (18y 113d).

First and foremost I will want to respond where you said something about Barcelona playing with one man down, before the Red card, Chelsea was already leading by 1 goal which was an own goal against Barcelona and  we know the factor that resulted to that own goal, mate if the current had that opportunity, I don't think the case would've have been different from what Chelsea did, although I understand what you are trying to say but there's a kind of problem in Barcelona team may it's because the injured players that are back are still managing to fit into the match, what I was not expecting in that match is for Chelsea to win Barcelona with 3:0, I thought that it won't be easy for Chelsea but football has it's own way of proving us wrong, Yamal is just recovering that's even if he has recovered fully.

It is actually quite clear the injuries are still affecting the player but the overall performance was just bad. Chelsea on the hand played good football and are deserving of the win, James did us proud as captain yesterday, if the boys continue with this mentality, they are definitely getting to the finals, even in the premeier league if they continue, arsenal may just adjust for second place again

[Bigjoe33]

I hoped both teams would score in that match, but they didn't. The same goes for the Manchester City vs. Leverkusen match.

To an extent, I wasn't expecting such score line against Leverkusen. The Manchester city team is just in a fluctaution era, where they play well today and then fall tomorrow. To even top it up, they were at the Etihad stadium, and couldn't score just a goal. They had lost there EPL game last week against Newcastle United, and then another loss for them again last night. I wonder how Pep Guardiola would be handling things now, as the several losses will be affecting them negatively. Am sure the players too will also be psychologically affected and this may continuously affect them. Just like Liverpool too, the negative effects too is really bad on them.
They really need to up there game before it becomes it becomes too late.

Exactly. I also feel that something is wrong with this team. Especially with the starting lineup in that match. I even thought about Pep Guardiola. Has he actually lost his passion for this team? Because he usually always manages to overcome problems at the club, even when the club is hit by a crisis of player injuries. But now Pep seems to have lost his touch in creating the right strategy for the team. I don't know. What's clear is that I'm very disappointed with the result of that match. Because I also really favor Manchester City. Leverkusen is indeed a strong team, but they're usually not on the same level as Manchester City. Especially when we look at the depth of both teams' squads, it's clear which team should be superior.

Everyone's talking about Chelsea, yes, they got a fantastic win, but tonight we have a much more exciting and better match ahead of us. It's a match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. These are arguably the two biggest contenders for the Champions League title. We may not see this clash again until the final. Who do you think will win this match? I'm one of those who think Arsenal has a slight advantage because the match is in England. However, Bayern Munich is a strong team. It's going to be a tough match.

Don't worry. I believe anyone is not forgetting what game is coming soon. I'm sure Bayern vs Arsenal is gonna be as hyped as Chelsea vs Barcelona.

As for what team is gonna win the game, i'm fully rooting at Bayern Munich. Let's to be fair here, Arsenal is indeed a strong team, they rarely conceded goals and still keep a record with no losses in EPL. It's also gonna be their home game. However, we must aware there are also massive improvements happened to the Bayern.

Olise, and Diaz as their winger is so damn crazy. We have seen how those wingers were truly great wingers in EPL in the previous seasons. It's getting even more crazier with Kane as a striker who can do many things on and off the ball.

So, they have very big chance to break Arsenal's back line with that killer attackers. That's why i believe they will bag three points tonigh at emirates. It's a risky bet, but worthy with the odds.

You are right that the injuries to the players have had a big impact on the match for Barcelona. Raphinha is out for a long time. Lewandowski was a surprise in the previous match but he was not seen in this match. Yamal came back to play but his performance was not that good. Rashford who is injured also could not play in this match. Considering the overall situation, the reason for Barcelona losing this match is the injury problems of the best players.

Chelsea players played brilliantly by mixing defensive style with attacking football and defeated the team that is almost at the top of La Liga by 3 goals. Enzo Maresca definitely deserves praise for the way he is leading the team and I think if he can develop the boys properly then there is a possibility of winning multiple trophies this season.

Chelsea victory yesterday shocked many people especially the scoreline and the cleansheet. It wasn't just a victory, it was a classic display from the world champions yesterday night. Give it to Chelsea when it comes to unexpected winnings. Manchester city losing against Leverkusen is a slap on EPL teams. Pep underrated his opponent and pay the ultimate price. You have to play simply and energetically with a desire to win irrespective of your opponent. An opponent is an opponent and you have to treat them as such regardless of their strength. Champions league is not a community shield tournament that you can win with anyhow lineup. Pep should stick to his winning XI.

[martinom]

It is really a big game for both teams, no manager will want to mess the squad by using players that isn't fit, more games ahead for him as soon as he recovers completely.
If he has to play he probably not be as fit as he has being known for in previous games but somehow his presence in the game would create an impression on the Barcelona side due to the quality that he is, which is an advantage for Chelsea in a way. Some coaches as a result of the importance of a player in a particular game they might try to risk filling in to play but may not be full time, but about Palmer's maybe Maresca may not want to risk him since they still have another important strong game in the EPL against Arsenal.

and to think that even without Palmer they managed to, win an incredible match, this Barcelona, even superior if we want in quality, was not able to, compete with them and this was seen, they lost with a resounding 3-0, this is football and it is beautiful like this

[POPOLUV]

I'm looking at Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match to be exactly as Chelsea was able to defeat Barcelona yesterday because as of that yesterday match the both teams has the 50/50 chances to be beating by any of team and Chelsea was victorious, so seeing the line up in today matches and  Arsenal  vs Bayern Munich is going to be tough match which the both teams has what it takes to draw or any team can equally dominate in this match today, and the head to head history shown that Arsenal  has won  Bayern Munich 5 times and Bayern Munich has equally won Arsenal 7 times and draw 2 times, so with the statistics gotten so far Bayern Munich is likely to win today match but till end of the will determine who is going to win into matche.

It was truly unexpected that the three teams that were supposed to be favorites all ended up losing, and none of them even scored a goal against their opponents. Galatasaray lost 0-1, Barcelona lost 3-0, and Manchester City lost 0-2. I'm even surprised how these three teams, who usually have an advantage in scoring goals, suddenly couldn't score against their opponents. Some of them even kept getting caught offside. I think this is truly disappointing. However, I can understand Galatasaray, as they lost their only star striker, Osimhen, who is currently injured. But Barcelona and Manchester City have their best players and still lost.

These teams you mentioned are not different from small clubs this season because they have not been playing well this season, i will not blamed Galatasaray because they have shown that they can not win match without Osimhen, I have said it before that without Osimhen, Galatasaray will not be good as they are this season, Barcelona and Manchester City are such a disappointing team, they show that they are not serious club that people can bet on.

Manchester City got defeated by Leverkusen, what is wrong with Pep Guardiola this season? Because the man looks like he don’t know what he is doing again, he benched almost all his best players and thinking that he can win the game against a Leverkusen team that is having a good season since they sacked Erik Ten hag and appointed a new coach, and Barcelona also got defeated by Chelsea after making noise around that they can beat Chelsea.

Lots of surprising events happened yesterday, from Barcelona losing to Chelsea without scoring any goal to Leverkusen that's still struggling this season defeating Manchester City and also Galatasaray losing at home too to Union Saints, you could imagine how much profits one would made if they picked Chelsea, Leverkusen and Union St.Gilloise to win. On the other hands, I'm pretty sure that lots of bettors lost yesterday and the match I feel would've made many bettors lose is that of Manchester City, I really don't understand how they lost that match, well today's another interesting matchday and I can't wait to see the outcome of Arsenal vs Bayern Munich.

[execijutiere]

Our representative Galatasaray suffered their second defeat in the Champions League, losing 1-0 at home to USG. Our team started the match well, but USG played a more offensive game. Promise Akinpelu's goal in the 57th minute gave the visitors a 6-point lead.
Benfica managed to beat an out-of-form Ajax and secured their first Champions League win after five matches. Benfica, under Jose Mourinho, are performing increasingly poorly in the Champions League. Despite not playing particularly well against perhaps the worst Ajax side in recent years, they still managed to win.

It is actually quite clear the injuries are still affecting the player but the overall performance was just bad. Chelsea on the hand played good football and are deserving of the win, James did us proud as captain yesterday, if the boys continue with this mentality, they are definitely getting to the finals, even in the premeier league if they continue, arsenal may just adjust for second place again

From there history we can see that Chelsea always defeat them more though that was seasons ago and that is why sometimes history or record is strong regardless of a team form. If someone had told me earlier that Chelsea would win Barcelona I would not have believed let alone to talk of 3:0 full-time that was an embarrassing result at least they would have ended like 2:1 or highest 2:0 and that's still much because Barcelona is a team a lot of people are looking up to that they will correct their mistake last season but it appears they are worse than last season and I don't think they can really make it. Chelsea started yesterday with same pressure as they started with PSG in the club world cup.

Galatasaray's defeat was widely covered in the Turkish media. Everyone expected Galatasaray to win this match, and they were almost certain of it. However, as we see, football is a game played on the pitch, and Saint-Gilloise returned to Belgium with three points. Furthermore, regarding the Benfica match, they boosted their morale by beating a struggling Ajax, but their chances of finishing among the top 24 teams are still slim.

Manchester City failed to win the match against Leverkusen because they fielded a squad heavy with substitutes. Despite making five substitutions in the second half, they unfortunately couldn't find the goals to secure points from the match. I must say this result from City surprised me. I couldn't understand why they rotated their squad in home matches. I expected them to win such matches decisively and at least secure a top-eight finish.
Marseille, who were trailing at half-time, increased their pressure in the second half and managed to win the match against Newcastle United by scoring two goals in the second half. Marseille, who won the match thanks to Aubameyang scoring two goals in the first five minutes of the second half, didn't really struggle against their opponents.

Manchester City surprised everyone by losing at home. Newcastle also lost 2-1 in a match they were leading. English teams will close out the week today with matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham. Two teams lost on the first day. Let's see what English teams can do in today's matches. Arsenal and Liverpool have a chance to win, but Tottenham will be looking for a miracle against Paris Saint-Germain.

This Estevao is one of the youngest players I personally respected much,  he has a good looking behaviour. I see him as a mature plsyer because he doesn't use to make mouths or talk anyhow before any of their matches as Lamine Yamal does. Hadn't it been this Estevao is in another bigger club like Barcelona, people or the fans would have been heaping praise on him and started comparing him with some of the past heroes like Messi. I really love how he is building his career gradually. However, I liked how he showcased his talent in yesterday's match against Barcelona. Barcelona is always a team that usually sees most of the bigger teams as a team to win within their control, not knowing yesterday that Chelsea was actually prepared for them before the match, and I also celebrated their victory because it was an unexpected outcome for Barcelona yesterday.

Villarreal lost points after being defeated by Dortmund with a score of 4-0. In my opinion, one of the reasons for Villarreal's defeat was that Foyth received a red card. I noticed that after Foyth received the red card, Villarreal's performance declined mentally and otherwise, which ultimately led to Villarreal suffering a bitter defeat at the hands of Dortmund. This match will certainly make Dortmund comfortable sitting in 4th place in the standings. Meanwhile, Villarreal will find it increasingly difficult to advance to the Round of 16, even through the playoffs, as they are now in 34th place, which will undoubtedly make it challenging to recover.
In my opinion, Dortmund will advance to the Round of 16, and I predict they will reach the semifinals, given the speed and quality of their players. The next match will be even more exciting, as Dortmund will face Leverkusen, another Bundesliga team.

Villareal is absolutely not a team that could compete with Dortmund, who are strong and deserve to be at the top with other teams. Obviously, everyone knew this and in fact I am not at all surprised by the fact that they lost, right now they don't have much to worry about.
