UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[teddybear]

Tonight, I can't wait to watch the most important match for my beloved Inter.
Liverpool are a tough team despite having had a few hiccups in the Premier League, but I don't trust them! They've always fought really hard in the Champions League!
Inter need just one more win to be 100% sure of reaching the last 16, even through the play-offs.

Fun fact, In their previous 3 out of 4 meetings, Inter has gotten a red card while managing to win 1 of those red carded games. Liverpool are 3-1 against Inter in the last 4 h2h. No Salah unfortunately and as things being blown out of proportion with his form and recent comments. Going to be an interesting game but it being Inter home, might play a big part on potential Inter win.

[Loyang]

I want to  believe that the reason why Enzo Maresca Chelsea coach rested some of his key players during last week match in the premier League was because this UEFA champions League match that they playing against Atalanta team today, I just pray for that his logistic work for him in to match because that lossing that they lost to Leeds was so surprising to all Chelsea manager and fans too, i believe they are working towards put a smile in the face of fans today by winning Atalanta team from two goals up.

I can't completely agree with you on this. Because looking at the current form of Atalanta, it doesn't seem like it. Chelsea's coach will rest their important players for a match to play Atalanta, maybe they were rested for some other reason in a match. Atalanta's current performance is very mixed, they are winning and losing. Atalanta is losing more than winning.

I am not too worried about the match between Chelsea VS Atalanta. I think Chelsea will be able to win this match very easily and maybe by a big margin. Chelsea is in good form, every part of them is very strong. But let's see what happens on the field, it is impossible to predict in advance, but I am hopeful that Chelsea will win by a big margin.

Monaco and Galatasaray will face off in a crucial match today.

Monaco has 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss. Galatasaray has 3 wins and 2 losses.

There's a 3-point gap between them. Both teams have their shortcomings. Both teams have been notable for their recent dips in form.

Galatasaray, in particular, has been playing poor football away from home.

Monaco's stadium atmosphere isn't particularly challenging. The stadium is a place free of fan pressure.

A Galatasaray victory wouldn't be a surprise. The match is highly likely to be a high-scoring game.

Chelsea vs Atlanta would not see a not so easy win for Chelsea since Atlanta are playing at home. They have had a clean sheet record for the past three matches before their game against Verona as they lost 3-1 which wasa bit surprising for me.

Chelsea on the other hand has not won a game in their last three games with two draws and a loss so the game would be really competitive as both sides would be struggling for a win. Though with Cole Palmer's comeback, it's a good addition to the team and I believe there would be more creativity in the midfield in this game compared to previous games.

But it's the Champions League of course, no team should be underrated because the outcome could be what no one expected so we keep our fingers crossed in this match and enjoy the highlights.

The reasoning for resting players but still using the starting lineup against Bournemouth, despite rotating substitutions, seems to indicate Chelsea goal scoring struggles. So two games were wasted just for a UCL match? Think again, or is the more plausible reason simply that Chelsea can't win it?

Chelsea's performance in the last few matches of the premier league has been erratic. Even so, I expect Chelsea to not make any mistakes in this match. Maresca will definitely come up with a decent match strategy to defeat Atalanta.

I don't consider Atalanta to be a strong team this season. The team is in 10th place in the Champions league table. But I have not seen Atalanta play well against such a strong squad. On the other hand , chelsea has a strong squad. It is a matter of concern that the team has failed to play well in recent matches. If chelsea's performance is  consistent, beating Atalanta will not be a difficult task for them. But if chelsea performs the same way as in the last few matches, it will be difficult to get 3 points against atalanta.

A good match awaits us. Both Monaco and Galatasaray have a chance to win. It looks like we'll be watching both teams compete equally. Injuries will determine the outcome of the match. Singo is injured, and Lemina's situation is uncertain. Galatasaray appears to be fielding a more alternative lineup. Monaco also has some missing players, but they're in better shape than Galatasaray. The winner of this match will strengthen their chances of a top-24 finish. Galatasaray is in 14th place and Monaco is in 23rd. Therefore, this is a must-win match for both teams.

[changaa]

Honestly, Chelsea is a very strong team but not very consistent. i think they're trying to find balance both in their game and as a team. i see them as having great strength and potential, which, in my opinion, is unfortunately wasted, or the coach simply doesn't know how to exploit it properly.

You're all always strict, as if you were professional coaches. is not easy to coach at a high level, and then they're on 25 points, they're not doing too badly. In the end, they're just a few points off the top, Arsenal don't have that many points of advantage, and the championship is wide open.

Galatasaray's squad is stronger  than Monaco. They have won against strong teams like Ajax and liverpool in this year's champions league. Their performance was a bit weak in the last match due to Osimhen not being in the squad. Galatasaray lost 1-0 against Saint Gilloise.

Even though today's match is monaco's home match, I am willing to bet on galatasaray to win. I think galatasaray will not make any mistakes in this match. There is no doubt that their attack will become even stronger with Osimhen in the squad. Galatasaray will want to secure  a place in the top 8 of the table by earning full  points in this match.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona - Frankfurt... Have you seen the odds given to these two sides first of all?

- Barcelona: 1.17

- Frankfurt: 14.00

It makes one feel like Frankfurt are a village team.    But joking side, I understand bookmakers. The gap between is really enormous now. You see their recent forms, don't you?

Barcelona are scoring like crazy and Frankfurt are conceding the same way. This could be the game we see the most amount of goals tonight. Over 3.5 goals @1.51 makes sense to bet on...

I hope they can achieve this, but the fact that the match will be played at home weakens Galatasaray's position. They also have injured and suspended players, so the ideal starting eleven isn't yet established. However, as you mentioned, players like Osimhen, İlkay, and Barış Alper could carry Galatasaray to victory. I hope we see Galatasaray get three points from this match, as their final two matches will be very difficult. They have two tough matches against both Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Assuming they lose in those matches, the closest they'll get to three points is today's match against Monaco. Therefore, they aim to win this match and advance to the next round of the Champions League with 12 points.

Today we’ve got the 6th round of the Champions League, and the following fixtures are on the schedule:

Kairat – Olympiacos
Bayern – Sporting
Atalanta – Chelsea
Monaco – Galatasaray
Union Saint-Gilloise – Marseille
PSV – Atlético Madrid
Barcelona – Eintracht Frankfurt
Inter – Liverpool
Tottenham – Slavia

The most anticipated match is obviously Inter vs Liverpool. Slot desperately needs a strong result, but against an Inter side that’s really hit their stride, it’s hard to see that happening. Barcelona vs Eintracht should be a great spectacle as well. Eintracht need points to reach the playoffs, so it definitely won’t be an easy walk for Barcelona.

Liverpool is currently in a major crisis in both play and results, and the coach doesn't have much time if he wants to keep his job.  
I remember we recently had a discussion here about Liverpool before the match against Real, and almost everyone predicted a victory for Real, but Liverpool played a great game and won.  
Now we again have a very serious situation in the Liverpool squad, a major conflict between the coach and the team's star player Salah, and from what I hear, Salah will stay home and will not play in this important match.  
Will this mobilize the team again and be a turning point for Liverpool this season?  
We will see soon.

It would be very unreasonable if Maresca couldn't maximize this team in today's match against Atalanta after he sacrificed the match against Leeds. I also hope Chelsea can win today's match and continue their positive trend in the UCL. I think Chelsea should be the favorites in the match against Atalanta. Because Atalanta is quite weak this season. They are not in their best condition. And I’m confident that if Chelsea can play well, defeating Atalanta won’t be too difficult. I think at least two goals will be scored in this match, and both teams might score.

Before that match, I also want to see Bayern defeat Sporting CP. Because I think that will be an easy bet.

No, actually, Atalanta could use a bit of consistency, but they can't do much, and then they're facing teams that are much stronger than them, and you can feel and see this.
Now they can only accept that they are inferior in potential to the other teams, there's nothing they can do about it

Tonight, I can't wait to watch the most important match for my beloved Inter.
Liverpool are a tough team despite having had a few hiccups in the Premier League, but I don't trust them! They've always fought really hard in the Champions League!
Inter need just one more win to be 100% sure of reaching the last 16, even through the play-offs.

I wish you a good match, as a fan unfortunately I will not support Inter, as a sportsman I tell you that the best wins.
Liverpool, as struggling as they are, could put a lot of pressure on them, but it won't be easy for Inter.
The players called up from Liverpool's official website are: Jones,Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Woodman, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Lucky, Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Bradley.
I'm inclined to bet on Liverpool to win, but before placing my bet I'd like to wait until the first few minutes of the match to watch the air that's blowing on the pitch.

[bitgolden]

Arne Slot has confirmed the Liverpool lineup that will face Inter Milan, and M Salah is not included. Of course, this is due to M Salah previous comments, where he openly criticized Arne Slot decision, resulting in him being dropped and not playing against Inter Milan. In my opinion, dropping M Salah will make Liverpool play with low confidence, their collective strength will waver, and it seems they will find it very difficult to achieve a victory.

On the other hand, Inter Milan has been more consistent so far, they are the favorites going into the match. The problems currently plaguing Liverpool might give Inter Milan an advantage to secure a win more easily. Arne Slot is now under heavy pressure, if Liverpool fails to reach the last 16, he might be sacked.

Visiting Inter Milan is surely big challenge for them while they are losing their best player's contribution, this is another blow. January is just 3 weeks away, I am expecting about good changes in Liverpool because now management already wants to sell Mohammad Salah and if Arne Slot is failing to bring positive results, this could be also ending of his job here as well.

In last games, both faced defeats. Liverpool were humiliated at home by PSV and Inter Milan fought till end against Atlético Madrid but lost. But this time, they will be surely going to be having themselves back on winning track because they are doing impressively in last five games, they are surely going to be ending in top 4 at the end of this round in my speculation.

[banana33]

Inter is certainly not an easy opponent, so Arne must field the best squad Liverpool has, including Salah. Otherwise, I think Liverpool will likely lose. Not only against a team like Inter, but even against weaker teams, Liverpool will be completely overwhelmed. So with that in mind, Arne really has to think about this carefully again, so that his career at Liverpool doesn't end just because he is too selfish and makes a player like Salah feel worthless.

No one in their right mind would put Salah, who is a great champion, on the bench.
Unfortunately, sometimes nobody understands how coaches think. Maybe they want to save money, i don't know.
But if you don't play him in the crucial matches, it doesn't make much sense.

The title race is still wide open for several teams in the top half of the table, including Arsenal, who currently sit atop the table. But Arsenal must understand that their consistency in winning their upcoming matches must not diminish, as the second half of the season will be even more intense, both in the Champions League and in other competitions like the Premier League. Once you enter the knockout stages, every team is under even greater pressure to stay in the competition, as even a small mistake could have fatal consequences.

[dollyamo]

Well, Manchester City are almost behaving the way Madrid are and I can tell you for free that if the players let's say some players Madrid have are in Manchester City I don't see Madrid getting anything in this encounter honestly, Pep Guardiola knows what he'd do if the likes of Vinicius Jr, Mbappe and Tchouaméni (let me use these guys), if they're to be at Man City I don't see them playing a draw, it will be Manchester City all the way dominating the game, with a more better performance and goals. But for now I'm not certain if the Citizens will get a win in that encounter, it seems like a draw after all both sides are some how the same in terms of performance, only thing is that when Manchester City sees a smaller team and they start scoring they don't stop (not always though) but for Madrid they struggle more than they dominate against smaller teams.

Yes exactly, the Bernabéu is no longer a period that can bring happiness and this thing in the end will still lead to nothing but the total defeat of this club, i am a bit of a catastrophist i know but these guys will not be doing anything to turn the fortunes of this team around

The most anticipated match is obviously Inter vs Liverpool. Slot desperately needs a strong result, but against an Inter side that’s really hit their stride, it’s hard to see that happening.

Inter Milan have better form than Liverpool that are in a crisis and Mohamed Salah was officially not called for this big match. Liverpool owner and board members shown their strong support for the head coach, Slot but it means Mohamed Salah is likely witnessed a closing gate for him in Anfield. If he won't play for Liverpool in Premier League this weekend, he will likely no longer appear as their player and in January, he will very possibly find a new club.

This match will happen at Inter Milan's home stadium and with better form of the host, they will have very good chance to beat Liverpool and get three more important points for going to a next phase of Champions League.
