UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

In fact no one expected that Atletico Madrid would win this match it was certainly a beautiful match full of emotions and i must say that Atletico played a really good match against Inter, despite the defeat they were good, the credit also goes to them

Atletico Madrid did a great job defending, which hasn't been very organized this season, but Simeone improved it in this match. Kudos! They secured the win. It was a truly balanced match. I previously trusted Inter here, but they deserve respect for their performance. Now, Simeone men seem to be back on track, and they've even had a strong run in La Liga over the last five weeks.

Yeah defense is Atletico Madrid mainstay and in this match they were really lucky to score the 2nd goal in the 93 minute, I call it lucky because basically the game of both teams is the same, if Atletico Madrid played away Inter Milan might be able to turn things around. Oh yeah, will Atletico Madrid advance to the next round via the play-offs? I just compare the competitors in the standings and for some reason I think Atletico Madrid chances are lower. I have to say Inter Milan is more deserving of that place.

True they did well against Real Madrid and still gave a poor performance in the league against Manchester City so it means something is definitely wrong somewhere. They are definitely not the favorites to win the champions league anymore because of their inconsistency but doesn't mean they can't win it. Let's hope things change after the international break.

Wait is Liverpool even part of the teams that should be considered favourites to win the champions league this season? They are so poor in form that them earning qualifications into the next round should be their major concern here. With what's happening to them will they be able to win their next 3 games because that's what's remaining now for them to get the ticket to the next round, at if they finish within 24th they get the chance of playoffs. They have a difficult match against Inter Milan at San Siro in 2 weeks time which I'm not sure they will be able to win even. Tough days ahead for Liverpool.

Like frankly speaking Arsenal gave me the shock of my life in football for the very first time in a long time like I didn't believe they could won game, even with the kind of form Bayern Munich is in this season Arsenal still manage to score three goals against them wow incredible, with no doubt I believe this is their season of glory in the English premier League and probably the UEFA Champions League that's if they are consistent with this performance I can clearly tell that no one is standing in their way, even the Manchester City Manny were believing to have give them tough time is now back to struggling, this season is strictly for the Gunners no cap.

Arteta made great changes when he added Martenelli and Madueke in the game, that was where Bayern lost their tactics and conceded extra goals. His playing pattern is well studied by him and he understood the right way to approach Bayern even though the left back was a loophole, which he corrected later in the game and gave Bayern a tough moment. It's always great seeing how well Arsenal is progressing in the EPL and UCL.

Arteta is building something good with this Arsenal squad after years of inconsistency. For me I can say they are ready to compete for all titles  only if they can continue this  consistency. But I can't conclude yet, Liverpool almost this kind of run last season but they only end up with the premier league titles so anything can happen in football which can be injuries which can be a set back for the team. But if they can overcome that am sure they might win something.

It is hard to tell that they are slowing down because they haven't actually lost any match until yesterday, Bayern has been a formidable force this season and even though we all knew that playing against Arsenal would be tough the scoreline was a bit surprising. It is now a fact that Arsenal has the strongest squad in the entire epl anf ucl, winning with such a goal difference has proven that they are better than Bayern. The next game Bayern is going to have home advantage, patiently waiting to see if they can do something to bounce back

Bayern Munich performance was not that good yesterday but I think is because there Diaz is not around that why they can't perform better and am sure Kompany will like to face Arsenal this Champions league again because know one expect Arsenal will perform very incredibly against bayern Munich and they shout everyone mouth and give Arsenal the best club in the world because they are topping the Champions league table without losing or drawing any games. Let see there games against Chelsea and see who we the favorite to win the game but Chelsea are playing at home and they have much advantage than Arsenal because that what happens to Munich vs Arsenal yesterday the fans motivated the players very well in the pitch and they get the victory and that is what is going to happen against Chelsea the fans will motivate well and stop Arsenal from wining the game let see how the games will ended.

Bayern Munich lost against Arsenal wasn’t really a big surprise, yes, I agree with the fact that Bayern Munich haven’t lose any champions league match this season. But looking at Arsenal performance this season, they are also in their best form, Arsenal really showed that they’re the best club right now in the champions league. Because pulling up such performance goals difference is also a sign that Arsenal dominated the match.

As for the second leg, can’t say anything about that, Arsenal may still win, anything can happen it can be draw also, till then though many tough matches will happen in, and the competition is getting more tough and interesting.

Something got me laughing this night. I was scrolling the facebook reels and I saw Bayern Munich update on their social media handle, and they reminded us how they won Arsenal 10 : 2 on an aggregate.
I really had a good chuckle reading comments. Commenters told them that gone are the days, that Arsenal is upgraded now.
Someone said that those were the period that Manchester United used to win EPL, that things have changed.
Although it is a bad result for Bayern Munich, but I doesn't actually mean that Bayern is in bad form. They have been doing well, just that Arsenal was better than them.

[giorgione]

I made a statement yesterday that "every team should be worried about Arsenal" cause of their form and how strong defensively they're this season. What I've observed about the team is that Arteta took his time over the years to build a team that can comfortably play against any team across Europe, you'll barely see them park the box, they'll always attack cause they know their defense is solid enough to respond to high press and quick counters, Arteta deserves some accolades.
 Arsenal have finally got their revenge on Bayern Munich and it was well deserving, this time around Bayern Munich where the ones who got humiliated and their unbeaten run in general has been destroyed by Arsenal, I just hope it doesn't ruin their confidence and affect their performance in the domestic league, anyways I wasn't suprised cause I've taken my time to study and understand the strength of Arsenal's defence before the match so i knew it was going to be a problem for Bayern Munich.

yes let's say that Arsenal is truly a team that everyone is afraid of, they are truly strong, this thing has remained in everyone's mind, i have to make a paluso to Calafiori who seemed to me like Sergio Ramos in his golden age, and it's not something that i think only, but Capelllo thinks so too

I agree with you, Arsenal is now in the best form of their lives and I wish they will make good use of it and win both the Champions League and the Premier League. Even if they can't make it a double but at least let them win the Premier League, it's very important. They have come so close within the last three years and in each of them, they have been denied that joy of celebration, this time around I hope Areteta gets it right that Arsenal will even win the league with 5 or more games to spear. This season they have been so impressive that I don't think any team in the league can withstand them.

Liverpool’s inconsistency is prevailing more and this will cost them a lot. As it stands now, they don’t even dare to want to have a hope in the champions league trophy and their only hope lies in the premier league which they’re also playing very poorly there. They need to be at their best form now so that it doesn’t get too late for them to at least finish in the top four of the premier league to get a chance for the champions league in the following season. They are in crisis, and they need to sought it out as soon as possible for their own good.

Arsenal always starts well every season and you’ll see them as the favorites for the title but along the way, their performance changes and become very poor which led them to fall out of the best teams for the league title, so they should not repeat that same mistake this season after showing a great performance so far the beginning of this season. Arsenal are on a good path now and I hope they can deliver perfectly at the end of the season. Many people have trust in them to finish well this season.

A true champion can afford to play without one or 2 of his starting eleven, they should learn to play without certain players because there will be time when they won't be available and they need others to fill up that gap who are capable. I don't really buy that idea of them not performing well because Diaz was absent. Arsenal was just so incredibly good and they went for the win right from the kickoff of the match.

With the project they built at the start of last season, and spending a large sum of money to bring in several star players at exorbitant prices, their prospects are clearly to defend the EPL title and win the Champions League trophy. However, it seems unlikely that they will be able to achieve this, considering their results in the EPL and UCL have been far from what was expected.

Arne Sloan brought in Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak for a fairly high price and released Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. However, it is very regrettable that to date, neither player has been able to show their best performance and has not even managed to score a single goal. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz, who now plays for Bayern Munich, has contributed more than fifteen goals for Bayern Munich in every match he has played in various competitions, with a record of 11 goals and 5 assists. Does Liverpool regret letting Lui Diaz go to Bayern Munich?

Liverpools performance have been disappointing in recent games, they lack the killer instinct they used to have last season when Mo Salah was firing goals for them in all angles. Liverpools over reliant on Mo Salah is beginning to hunt them now as he’s no longer providing the goals and i think that is really a big problem for them. Maybe it’s time they give more chances to their other fringe players to play more especially Chiesa. He looks lively when he was introduced into the game against PSV Eindhoven and I think if he’s giving the the opportunity to play more regularly his confidence will grow even more as they fight for the qualification.

The match between Real Madrid vs Olympiacos was very exciting. Both teams fought almost equally. Mbappe, who we all criticize a lot, once again proved what he can do on the field. Real Madrid won this match thanks to his amazing goal.

Both teams performed like two truly top-level teams, this is something that many football fans will appreciate and will certainly be able to appreciate, it is clear that this thing must be spread as a thought to everyone, and so it must be, i am glad there are challenges of this level

Although I am a Madrid fan, I can't deny that Olympiacos' performance in this match is worthy of appreciation and not only about the players and their performance but also their militant supporters who always shout and put pressure on Madrid players when they have the ball.

That's a rarity for some supporters these days but it does make the team's mentality very good and the fact that Olympiacos played to the end and didn't give up is great.
Madrid have regained some momentum now and Mbappe was absolutely superb in this game although our defense still made a lot of mistakes but at least the quatrick made it three points back on the board.

I can’t stop crying over the manner in which Barcelona was embarrassed at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea fans around me won’t let me rest, chanting and taunting me.

Barcelona didn’t play well in the match, Chelsea dominated the match, and they were easily able to get a win in the match. Before the match started, I was only expecting maybe a goal difference in the match because I was expecting it to be a tough one, but Barcelona couldn’t score even a goal in the match, and they conceded 3 goals, it’s surprising Chelsea scoring  3 goals against a team like Barcelona.

With the look of things, I don’t really think Barcelona will be able to achieve anything serious in champions league this season, their performance has been kind of poor. I just hope they going to work on their performance.

That's true though, with the way they spent lots of money to bring in those players, it's only natural to think that Liverpool would be so formidable that it will take a lot for them to draw a match let alone losing. At the beginning of the season, it seemed as though they wouldn't lose just yet because they were close to losing or drawing, then boom out of nowhere, they still find a win to get the goals in that eventually won them the match. It happened 2 times in the league and again happened in the champions league against Atletico Madrid. They were 2 goals up, Atletico Madrid equalised and just at the dead of added time, Liverpool scored to win the match. They were like specialists in scoring late goals until they ran out of luck and they became what we are seeing now.

Barcelona played bad when defeating Chelsea at champion league match and difficult to make offside trap before Aurojo have received red card and make difficult for Barcelona scoring any one goal after conceded three goals. Its purely bad performance of Barcelona actually has good capital after playing quite well in domestic league but still not enough to defeat Chelsea. Failure get three points from Chelsea make Barcelona position drop significant untl 18th standing place behind 3 points remaining to reach top 9th position. Has three matches left in Champion League phase round against Frankfurt, Slavia Praha and Copenhange must get 9 maximum points if won't drop to playoff round matches. So difficult season for Barcelona in Champion League this season just won 2 of 5 matches and have losses 2 matches.

They were among the favorites at the start of the season, but things have changed, and their chances of winning the title have plummeted. There's too much to fix, and it will likely take time.
Now 13th in the standings with three games remaining, they could still qualify for at least the playoffs if they don't perform as poorly as they did in their last match. However, the management must immediately consider replacing Arne; that should be their focus now before they fall further into disarray.

I think you just cleared the air, Weldon. What's that statement, that they didn't okay well because Diaz was not there? What about Olise, Gnabry, Kane, kimmich and the host of them?

Arsenal was just too good for them and they couldn't contend, simple.
Talking about absent players, Arsenal too are not left out. There big header Gabriel is out injured, victor gykores, Trosard left, Martin Odegaard and Noni Madueke just returned in that game. They have been all out yet, they did well, or have been doing well. So it's not about players, it's about the credibility and quality or the team generally, and yesterday, Arseywas better, that's all

[Obari]

Look, if they beat Real Madrid they're capable of anything Liverpool is a good team, I don't know what's happening to them, I don't understand it. I wouldn't understand what was happening to City when they weren't winning anything, but these things happen, these are crises that teams go through when things aren't going their way. Everything passes The important thing would be for Liverpool to react and recover the level they've always had. At least in the Champions League they're flying.

Liverpool are not in form and we can say the same thing for Manchester City. The only EPL clubs making us proud in this space are Arsenal and Chelsea. They're winning games and coming to stronger stands. This is not some random tournament but we're talking about the UEFA Champions League games. Alot have happen and we've seen quite more exciting games this season. If we want to start mentioning teams in good position to win the UEFA champions league trophy this season, La Liga clubs have the tendency to appear in this category. They might not be as consistent as expected but when it comes to big stage games, they ensure they're sealing good performance.

[SmartCharpa]

It is hard to tell that they are slowing down because they haven't actually lost any match until yesterday, Bayern has been a formidable force this season and even though we all knew that playing against Arsenal would be tough the scoreline was a bit surprising. It is now a fact that Arsenal has the strongest squad in the entire epl anf ucl, winning with such a goal difference has proven that they are better than Bayern. The next game Bayern is going to have home advantage, patiently waiting to see if they can do something to bounce back

Bayern Munich lost against Arsenal wasn’t really a big surprise, yes, I agree with the fact that Bayern Munich haven’t lose any champions league match this season. But looking at Arsenal performance this season, they are also in their best form, Arsenal really showed that they’re the best club right now in the champions league. Because pulling up such performance goals difference is also a sign that Arsenal dominated the match.

As for the second leg, can’t say anything about that, Arsenal may still win, anything can happen it can be draw also, till then though many tough matches will happen in, and the competition is getting more tough and interesting.

Bayern Munich have yet to lose against any opponents this season, but Arsenal destroyed the German giant. I expected Arsenal to win, but not with a lot of goal difference. Arsenal shown that the competition in the Premier League is more competitive than the Bundesliga, perhaps the absence of Luis Diaz has an impact in Bayern Munich performances, the frontline will be much stronger than when he is available to play.

This is the group stage of the Champions League, the new format they has been using since last season, and every team can only face an opponent once, so there is nothing like second leg. Bayern Munich lost against Arsenal, but they believe they can beat them the next time they play. So Bayern Munich can only hope to play with Arsenal again in this tournament to avenge their defeat, otherwise, there is nothing like the second leg.

[pawel7777]

I've just checked one of the sports betting sites to see how outright odds for the UCL winner have changed.
As expected, Arsenal are the new, strong favourite with odds of only x4.35. Given how dominant and consistent they have been recently, it could still be a decent bet, although this is football and we see good clubs dropping in performance all the time.
If I had to bet, I'd probably go with Chelsea. The odds are quite high, and it's a type of team that could beat any other club if they play at their 100%, but they are lacking consistency and mix good performances with poor ones.
