UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes. I think Leverkusen regrets recruiting ETH early in the season which caused a decline in both performance and confidence. However after being fired and replaced by a new coach, Leverkusen's performance began to improve even surprisingly beating Manchester City in the Champions League. Yes. Although Leverkusen regrets recruiting ETH early in the season they should also be grateful for their swift dismissal.

Can you imagine if they hadn't hired ETH but someone else, anyone but him? They'd be in a better position in the Premier League, of course they would What they did to City was a bit of a disgrace. I didn't see it because I was watching the Madrid game, but what an exquisite day of football! The games are really worth watching on delay to do great analysis.

Furthermore, Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the upcoming Champions League match. I think this match will likely be a close draw. Because I don't think Real Madrid and Manchester City's current form is significantly different.

I don't think Manchester City is difficult match for Real Madrid at upcoming Champion League match regarding how several bad result last several matches and The Citizen has lower position standings than Real Madrid. Until matchday 5, Manchester City have loss 1 and draw 1 match than Madrid only loss 1 match and has 2 points remaining from Man City.

Although Madrid have bad performance in La Liga I think not bring bad impact for Champion League match and this victory from Manchester City will make close qualify to knock out round. After facing Manchester City, Real Madrid will face Monaco and Benfica in Champion League phase round match and likely will get three points for all three matches left.

As a Real Madrid fan, I am scared of saying Real Madrid is going to win this game because I don’t know what Real Madrid is playing this season, i don’t even recognise the Real Madrid I fell in love with, Real Madrid performance was very good from the beginning of the season and after getting defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League everything changed, they were ahead of Barcelona with 5 points from the beginning of the season and end up being the second in the league table after playing three games draw.

The match against Manchester City will be played at home (Santiago Bernabeu) and Real Madrid always play well at home but Manchester City are also in a good form this season, they are not like last season, Haaland, Foden, Doku are in good form, helping Manchester City to win every game, Xabi Alonso need to play his best players during the match if not Manchester City will beat Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu.

It's really going to be a terrifying match for Real Madrid, i don't usually use this comparison but Real Madrid will most like suffer a huge defeat because, firstly, they lost to Liverpool, a team that is currently out of form and 9th in the EPL and aside from that, since that Real Madrid's match there form has been terrible so we can't say they are better now, winning only 2 matches in there last 5 matches.

Secondly, Xabi Alonso hasn't even figured yet his starting lineup, there is a bond that develops when certain players play frequently on matchday fixtures together but Real Madrid don't have that now, and City will definitely take advantage of that, the only thing Real Madrid got going well for them is there striker Mbappe.

It is true that Real Madrid's performance is a bit erratic. Especially the performance of the attacking players  and defenders is erratic. Despite having many talented players, we have seen Madrid's erratic performance in several matches. But Manchester city is not in good form either. City also lost to Leverkusen in the last match of the champions league. Real Madrid conceded 3 goals against olympiacos. But even then , Madrid  was able to secure victory in the match. I  believe that even if Madrid's performance is erratic, they will not lose this match. I will definitely expect Madrid to win.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City this time, both clubs are not in their best form, but by playing at the Bernabéu, of course I will favor Real Madrid in the match later, especially since all the players are not injured, so they will be able to play optimally to defeat Manchester City, but with all the results that occur later, it will be very valuable for both clubs because they have to chase the top of the standings, namely Arsenal.

[uche6215]

Even though Real Madrid performance too has not been at its best in recent matches, I still feel that Madrid is the favorite going into this match and playing at home also give Madrid an extra advantage. Manchester City has been so inconsistent even when playing at home I don't think that they can survive Madrid in this game, Manchester City has not been in their Best of forms so I don't fancy their chances of winning this game. Madrid fire power is potent in the front that is one thing that the city defense will find it difficult to handle.

Real Madrid has one defeat in La Liga, while City has four. Plus, Real Madrid is the favorite in La Liga, while City is significantly behind Arsenal according to bookmakers' odds. I think it's wrong to say the clubs are in roughly equal form. The odds for this game are pretty even:

2.22 - 3.80 - 3.0

But I think Real Madrid wouldn't mind beating City again (especially at home) and giving City a harder time finishing in the top eight. I predict the game will end with a score of 2-0, 3-1 - something like that.

[verdinio]

Come on, don't say it too loudly, in fact he's been playing consistently lately and the results are showing.
5 points behind Manchester City at the moment, not a huge gap but one that allows for around 2 days of calm, call it inconsistency.
There are teams that would sell their soul to the devil to have this inconsistency.

Is true, this is really what I was thinking too, there are some results that for top-tier teams seem disappointing results while for others they would sell their soul to the devil as you say, this is very true, very true in fact,In any case, credit to them for the performance they are putting in.

[Webetcoins]

I agree with you that if Arsenal remain consistent and maintain their current performance, they will surely win a major trophy this season because they are already at the top of the Premier League and Champions League tables.  When Saliba and Gabriel were injured, I thought Arsenal's performance would decline, but to see that Arsenal still maintain their performance and win their matches in the absence of Saliba and Gabriel shows that Mikel Arteta has figured out what has been preventing Arsenal from winning a major trophy in the past.

I think that this year they are capable of being consistent and managing to do everything they want, right now i am sure they will be able to do well, they will certainly have some bad moments and it is also possible that it is easy to fall into some problems, but the last word has not been said until the championship is over.

Arsenal is one of the best team in this season due to their aggressive approach in attack and balanced defense they conceded only 1 goal in 5 games this is incredible from them their win against Bayern Munich bring good positive change even still many games specially after group stage knockout games always not easy to predict.

UEFA Champions League have history of upsets this is always at the top, but performance of Arsenal is giving good encouragement for having good results from them Real Madrid and Bayern Munich could be challenges because these are also had good squads and their performance in this event give surprises to fans.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City is one of the most eagerly awaited matches, perhaps because i genuinely like both teams.. Whoever wins is fine with me. It's going to be a thrilling match, given the performance of both teams, it's no surprise that many predict this match will be closely contested, with some even forecasting that Real Madrid will dominate the game. However, don't overlook the quality of Manchester City squad and their playing style, which are no less impressive. Compared to last season, their squad's performance has already shown signs of improvement, although defense remains the team's primary issue.

[1kodumtek7]

A hell of a match is waiting for us really.    The image above is a summary of the Real Madrid - Manchester City duels in the Champions League history so far. We rarely witnessed under 2.5 goals in these ones.

I hope to see one of those matches with lots of goals again. Both sides are having a productive season. Real Madrid are the favourites of bookies by a close margin but it is really hard to pick a side. Rather than that a goal bet looks more sensible for this match.

One of the most complicated match in this middle week games as Real Madrid is not stable in winning like one can't really predict them as they are not really consistent in their recent games it has been win lost and draw they are not just consistent in any one so predicting this game will definitely require a high level IQ because even Manchester City is not in their best of form also like it's really unlike them this season and these two has faced themselves in recent years and it was quite a game of luck for both teams, so now they're not to be trusted I really can't tell which could win this game, but if it's a must to predict I'd say Real Madrid will win the game.

[harapan]

Arsenal is just good and they see still good even till this time,  Liverpool did well then and so they got the title last season but this season they have  been poor with their performance and so they do not look like they will be able to defend the title this season in the premier league, and for this champions league I believe they will not do as much as Arsenal likely will do in the champions.

Liverpool and Arsenal have been in quite different forms this season, and this is particularly evident in the Premier League and the Champions League. Arsenal weren't too bad last season, either, but they were again unlucky to progress further in the Champions League and couldn't outperform Liverpool in the Premier League last season. But this season, I'm starting to have more confidence in Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League, while I still have some doubts about Arsenal's chances in the Champions League.

Arsenal still consistent in this tournament that they got 5 winning streak which this is very impressive and according to their upcoming fixtures i can see Arsenal next opponents is not too strong and i can see only Inter Milan the strongest team which they faced but i think Arsenal can beat Club brugge and Kairat FC without any problem so, Arsenal chances to advances to the next round is very high but indeed Arsenal has poor history because as strong team they never been lifted up champion league trophy

There is a first time for everything, including the European champion title. The owners of Manchester City and PSG invested billions of dollars in their clubs for years with the main goal of winning the European champion title, but they still had to wait a long time for it to finally happen. 
Interestingly, PSG only won the European champion title after they got rid of their main stars, Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. 
This season, Arsenal, through their performances and results, has shown that they are one of the main favorites to win the European champion title. 
Before their match with Bayern, I thought Bayern was unstoppable, but Arsenal showed that they can play with any team in Europe today and win.

I have never fancied the performance of the group stages, yes they're obviously a forward step to successful round of 16 and knock out stage but those who played very well in the group stages can flop immediately they switch to the next round eventually. People still d9 not believe they can win the Champions League. It was same for PSG and not Manchester City because they had Pep Guardiola. With Pep Guardiola and his experience, they had the believe they will go far to win it. Arsenal are good but winning the Champions League comes with a lot of hardwork, they have to show working.

As a Real Madrid fan, I am scared of saying Real Madrid is going to win this game because I don’t know what Real Madrid is playing this season, i don’t even recognise the Real Madrid I fell in love with

You are pretty spoiled then, aren't you? This is something that personally always bothered me about Real Madrid fans: just a couple of bad results and people go crazy. It's a sport, there is an opponent, also the other team can win, that is how it works. And frankly when you win after a few seasons without trophies you enjoy it way more. If you lose your love or attachment for the team just because they are not winning every match maybe you should reconsider the way you look at this sport.

[Velvet78]

There are only 4 days left for the next games to be underway. It is the 6th games and after that there is no game for around a month and a half unfortunately. It is quite sad news for us for sure. 

There are 2 big games as far as I can see:

- Inter - Liverpool

- Real Madrid - Manchester City

Honestly I think Inter will beat Liverpool while they are vulnerable. But for the other game it is hard to choose side. But I assume Real Madrid wouldn't lose at home. Xabi Alonso and Guardiola will come face-to-face for the first time by the way.

[el kaka22]

Real Madrid will win this game. I know that they did not look good for three games, but they were better than that and shown it in the last game. I think it's clear that we are going to see it be a great situation for everyone and not have that kind of return. Remember that they are talking about Real Madrid here, a team that is looking great and was just at leader position of la liga, whereas City is not even in the top two, that's important.

I can see City winning too, we are not talking about a small team here, it is a great team and should not be a big problem at all. We can make this work, and we can definitely do a wonderful job of it with time. I can see how this could be changed with time eventually for all of us.

[BRINIRHA]

Yes. I think Leverkusen regrets recruiting ETH early in the season which caused a decline in both performance and confidence. However after being fired and replaced by a new coach, Leverkusen's performance began to improve even surprisingly beating Manchester City in the Champions League. Yes. Although Leverkusen regrets recruiting ETH early in the season they should also be grateful for their swift dismissal.

Can you imagine if they hadn't hired ETH but someone else, anyone but him? They'd be in a better position in the Premier League, of course they would What they did to City was a bit of a disgrace. I didn't see it because I was watching the Madrid game, but what an exquisite day of football! The games are really worth watching on delay to do great analysis.

And it's actually quite strange why Leverkusen chose ETH at that time. It was quite clear that ETH had even failed at Manchester United. So Leverkusen shouldn't have expected much from him from the start. Because ETH seemed unable to cope with pressure-filled conditions or situations, especially in matches like those in the UCL.

Current Leverkusen coach Kasper Hjulmand appears to have a better understanding of the team and can immediately maximize the team's strengths. Leverkusen should be grateful for the quick decision-making.

I am not very confident in Real Madrid. They have been going through a very bad situation recently and the Real Madrid team does not have the same sharpness that they used to have to threaten the opponents. Real Madrid has been suffering from a weak defense since last season and this problem continues this season.

Real Madrid's performance is very bad, especially against big teams. We must not forget that the opponent is not a small team. Pep Guardiola will play his best to win against Real Madrid and for a coach like him, it is not difficult to find weaknesses in Real Madrid. Real Madrid can only avoid Manchester City because of the home field advantage, otherwise I would bet on them to lose. The result of the match is still uncertain, because Manchester City is not a small team.

[changaa]

Yes, perhaps what you said is also true, but I personally still believe that this match will be very fierce. Because in my personal opinion, Manchester City's current performance should not be underestimated. Because if you look at the opponents that Manchester City has faced in the Champions League, they are much tougher than Real Madrid. The proof is that Dortmund was also able to be defeated by Manchester City, and several other strong teams were also able to be handled well by Manchester City. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, as we know, mostly only plays against teams that are not too strong, like Kairat and also Olympiakos.

So with that in mind, I think it's natural that Real Madrid can win when facing teams like that, because Real Madrid is indeed far superior. But when Real Madrid faces teams that are slightly stronger, like Liverpool, Real Madrid actually suffers defeat. So, from this, I can already judge that Real Madrid's current performance isn't particularly impressive. That's why I'm very confident that Manchester City will be a very tough opponent for Real Madrid.

Manchester City should never be underestimated, that is, we are talking about one of the strongest teams in Europe, which however has a striker like Haaland who is practically the best striker of recent times, i also believe that they are a much more determined team, it will certainly be a good match

[tbterryboy]

They will definitely be in the top  8 in the first round of the champions league. Arsenal are even more likely to  be at the top of the table . But if they want to win the title, arsenal will definitely have to play well in the knockout round.

Last season  we saw psg's performance in the first round was weak and inconsistent. But in every match of the knockout round we saw psg  dominating and  winning. The second round is much more important than the first  round. So arsenal will have to be more  consistent and perform strongly  in every match from the round of 16 onwards..

Knockout matches are always on another level in Champions League because teams always give their best and many times strong favourite sides faced challenges even early exit because of match day performance currently Arsenal is surely one of the best sides, but usually they choke in last round games this needed to be fixed.

Champions League favourite have never been easily won title as mentioned PSG was looking not good, but they won title in this season many teams are looking balanced but who could be winner and which team will be won it's not easy to predict currently three teams like Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid looking favourite, but any other can steal the show.
