UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Barcelona still struggled to penetrate Frankfurt's tight defense, even as they increased the intensity of their attacks. Barcelona have been dominating the game so far and I am very confident they can win this match if they find a way to score the first goal. Their attack is sharp and it's just a matter of timing and finishing, so a win should be something to look forward to.

Now the score is 2-1, it might have been more if Barcelona hadn't lowered the intensity of their attacks.

I thought Barcelona will get a very easy 3 points tonight but reality have proven me wrong as Barceloa is not finding it easy tonight. Coming from first half loss, they may be up by 2 goals but if Frankfurt had converted all their chances, they would have been in comfortable lead against Barcelona. The match will still produce more goals before the final whistle.

The match is nearing the end of the first half, but Barcelona has yet to score and equalize, so the score remains 1-0. In this match, Barcelona has dominated the game and even managed to create several dangerous attacks to break through Eintracht Frankfurt's defense. But let's see how the second half unfolds.

Barcelona got most of the pressure, but Frankfurt are holding on to the plan they have. They have intelligent attackers that have made intelligent runs for them through the Barcelona defense and causing a problem there. They were close to scoring another goal, that would have increased the challenge for Barcelona in the second half. In the second half, Barcelona will put more pressure, they will have to try to score another goal and not just defend this one they have because Barcelona really need to win this game.

Hansi Flick may bring in Ferran Torres for Lewandoski.  

Two goals for Barca within 3 minutes by Kounde J. I know the pressure Barca has placed on their opponent will definitely turn out for good in the second half. I'm still expecting more goal from Barca.

Barcelona is a good team and Rashford is a powerful tool to their attack, I was expecting them to turn things around in this second half and they're beginning to impress me. More would come, just anticipate.

Chelsea on the other have are back level with Atlanta. Maresca has started his confused substitutions, removing the wrong person and bringing yet an incompetent person for the wing of play. Removing Chalobah to bring in Forana would yield no benefits. The right person to remove was Badshille, introduce Gusto so that a pair of Chalobah and Achaempong would lock the defense indefinitely. That guy is just messing up with his substitutions. Let's watch out how it ends anyways.

This playbook was they started with Frankfurt was what they Manchester City played against Fulham last month that almost made City to lose but time was against them. Barcelona were quick to fix that because this Champions League, it will take 2x Frankfurt players to be able to use 90 minutes to win them for Barcelona not be able to realize their mistakes quickly. Even now as it is, I expect more goals from Barcelona unless if they want to be unfortunate.

Raphina, Lewandowski, Yamal and Lopez all in one game and not a single goal should beg the question if this was the right decision Ansi Flick made in this match, no chance created to even make any conversation.

As usual, Bayern delivered once again with three goals against one from their opponent. The stats weren't bad, though, except for the shots on target,they had 25 shots and wasted 15. That was too much against a team that had just 4 and 2 on target, with even one goal, which means out of the 4 attempts they still managed to net one.
Imo, Sporting tried against the best team in the UCL so far.

I expected the result from the match, I knew Bayern will just deliver today, with the way Bayern Munich have been playing lately, I knew sporting cp won’t be able to stop Bayern Munich from getting 3 points today, and Bayern were able to secure a win in the match. Bayern Munich wasted lots of chances in the match, they would have scored more than 3 goals in the match. They were in control of the match, they had 23 total shots, and have 9 shots on target, they should have scored more than three goals, but they failed. They played well in the match, they were able to get 3 points in the match.

Barcelona, already leading 2-1, would be better off strengthening their defense a little. But in my opinion, Barcelona wants to secure victory by scoring at least one more goal in this match. That way, Barcelona will be more relaxed in the remaining minutes of the match. The match is currently in the 64th minute. And that also means Frankfurt still has a chance to equalize the score or even turn the tide.

The other match, Inter Milan vs. Liverpool, is still tied at 0-0. It seems that although Inter Milan has found a way to control the ball more, they are struggling to break through Liverpool's defense.  

The Atalanta vs. Chelsea match is also still tied at 1-1. I didn't expect Chelsea to struggle like this.

[red4slash]

Is this a Chelsea match? I didn't really see them play well in today's match.

They were good enough when they got the advantage in the first half with 1 goal but after that I think they were too cautious in the game which made Atalanta find the rhythm of the match and in fact the performance so far is better than Chelsea.
This is not really expected because after all for now Chelsea is still the favorite to win but their performance on the field does not really reflect that they are a big club.

The score is 1-1 now and a situation like this continues then this could be a loss for Chelsea if Enzo Maresca does not change the flow of the game in the remaining time available at this time.

Maresca has all the qualities to win any club that clashes with Chelsea but his wrong decisions and poor understanding of the ongoing match is a big problem to the club's consistent performance. I don't know why he substitutes the wrong player in a game that Chelsea is already on the lead. Look at what's happening, he has given Atalanta the opportunity to get an equalizer.

Coming from first half loss, they may be up by 2 goals but if Frankfurt had converted all their chances, they would have been in comfortable lead against Barcelona. The match will still produce more goals before the final whistle.

Champions League matches are usually tough, sometimes, it doesn't go as we expect, the underdogs may create the best opportunity to make the 3 points. Barcelona is currently leading, it is difficult to agree that Barcelona will lose at home, not an easy game watching the scores, but it should be a good win for Barcelona.

Almost all the big clubs that played underdogs are winning, its a tough Champions League night, and results like these are what we will see.

That was a nice play from Barcelona and now they are currently leading by one goal in the 70th minute but anytime i see a scoreline like 2:1 I'm not really comfortable with it because it only takes the other team to score one goal to equalize at any moment. If Barcelona doesn't score another goal there is a high chance that Frankfurt might just score and equalize, this game is actually tougher than I expected

Maresca still hasn't learnt that Badiashile is bad and him pairing with Fofana is a bad idea because Fofana hasn't gotten to his best yet.

He should have made a quick change bringing in Malo Gusto for Badiashile and not Enzo being substituted for Gusto. With the changes I doubt we can be able to get a win tonight hopefully we defend well till the end and get at least a tie, 80 mins gone already in the game.

Liverpool really started this game well against International Milan, but it seems Inter finally read their game and turned up the heat.. second half I expect them to be ruthless just to flex and show these boys whose boss here..

Inplay prediction Inter 1-0 Liverpool.

------

Can't believe Barcelona conceded this early, almost the same as what the youngsters did earlier in the afternoon, damn betslip gone.

I was very interested in the Liverpool match. I went straight to the line up and was surprised that Salah was missing. I thought the shenanigans will end in the PL. So, I went further to know if Salah has travelled for the African Nations Cup. But I was surprised to see him in the missing players and the reason was written as "Coach's decision".
This is getting out of hand. What is actually happening in Liverpool. Salah no longer on bench but totally missing. This is sad to know....

Salah is being made a scapegoat by coach Arne Slot for Liverpool's poor performance. That's why he is benched. And Salah will likely leave Liverpool, with only Saudi Arabian clubs willing to pay a high price. Salah will probably move to the Saudi league. Actually, Liverpool's poor performance is not Salah's fault. It's the fault of coach Arne Slot for not blending the many star players into a good team. And what's even more ridiculous about coach Arne Slot is that Salah was only replaced by Curtis Jones in Liverpool's starting eleven against Inter Milan. Arne Slot really likes to joke around.

[promise444c5]

Barcelona can just be unpredictable at times, the goals could just come from anyone on the team… In just 8 minutes to second half and already securing 2 goals as comeback with just 3 minute difference between the first and second goal plus coming from same person, so unpredictable..

The coach knew just the right thing to do with bringing in Djong while still leaving Eric Garcia at the mid field and that brought an excellent result in the first 10 mins, looking forward to seeing more goals in the remaining minutes, they can’t just forget what happened in 2021/2022 quarter finals right?

Barcelona performance is really good in this match, they are still dominating the match with 2:1 Frankfurt is also doing well, but there is still time 2:1 is not enough to say Barcelona will win the match anything can happen even at die minutes they need to put more pressure on Frankfurt so they will secure the 3 points. But for now, Barcelona is dominating but the secure haven’t convince me to give them winning till I see how the match end.

Yeah, Barcelona really did a great job scoring two goals within that period because I was surprised seeing how they scored those goals, since I didn’t expect it that fast, even I know they are favorite they scored the two goals so easily. I also want them to score more, to secure this 3 points. Just 1 goal interval is too risk, and anything can happen.

They are really unpredictable and i think we can never expect what will happen with them,but they were able to score two fast goals in the second half and take the lead and as it looks they will win the match for sure. Frankfurt wasnt able to take advantage of the lead and missed some chances to extend the lead and against Barcelona you just need to take everything they give you. Was honestly expecting a much easier match for Barcelona

In the second half, Atalanta actually looked like they could dominate. And now the score has even changed to 2-1 in Atalanta's favor. I think Atalanta will win this match. And we will be really disappointed with this result. Because I initially thought this match would be an easy one for Chelsea, but it turned out not to be. I'm really surprised now.
However, fortunately, I had predicted that both teams would score. But I was hoping Chelsea would win. This team seems to be not fully mature yet, so their performance can drop suddenly and then rise again just as quickly. The Inter Milan vs. Liverpool match is still tied at 0-0. And that's better than suffering a defeat.

Now they have to fall behind with time running out.
Honestly, it's a bad situation but they can't do much with the situation now and it looks like Chelsea will have to recognize Atalanta's superiority with a good comeback they did.

Chelsea started with good confidence but they are stuck with a monotonous performance because they think one goal is safe enough for them which is a bad decision to make.
I had high hopes for Chelsea in today's game but they didn't perform up to expectations and that's quite disappointing for me.

On the other hand Atalanta played very well, they knew playing against Chelsea was not easy but they played solid even though they were 1 goal behind they did not lose focus for 3 points playing at home. They deserved to win this match.

Atalanta 2 Vs Chelsea 1
Could this be the comeback for the Italian side Atlanta! Cucurella was the perfect cover for Ketelaere has he moved forward before unleashing the shot towards Sanchez's goal to beat him at his near goal. Atlanta was behind but somehow found themselves in front just around the 80+ minutes. If it stays like this, then the comeback will be complete and Atlanta would have earned all 3 points.

There are still a few minutes before the end of the match, this is a dangerous situation for Barcelona's defense. I can't believe Barcelona can secure this narrow win, but Barcelona have been in good form this season at Camp Nou. There are some concerns about Barcelona's defense being easily breached, but I am optimistic about a win today at home.

Frankfurt seemed to increase their attacks and put more pressure on Barcelona's defense, which was dangerous for Barcelona's defense. The score of 2-1 still stands at this point, Barcelona seems to be starting to waste time.

I was confident that Chelsea was going to win this match but it looked like my prediction for Inter Milan to win Liverpool was transferred to this match. Chelsea winning first half and losing in full time is a very bad one for Enzo as it shows that something is still wrong with the Blues. There is a very close connection between this match and their defeat by Leeds in the aspect that the team lost control of the match somewhere along the line and that made them pay the ultimate price.

Maresca is always making the same mistakes every time and I can't just tell why. I don't even know if his coaching crew are ever giving him the right suggestions at all or they're all blind and not seeing how bad Badshille performs, all the goals was his mistake.

Secondly, the unnecessary conversion of players positions is harming Chelsea honestly. Using Chalobah as right back in a match like this is greatly undermining the importance of a good defense.

Removing Chalobah was stupid of him to be more concerned with damage control and not team effectiveness, A better substitution would've been removing Badshille to introduce Gusto and Removing  Enzo to bring in Santos who would help with defensive play to reduce the pressure on Chalobah and decrease the likelihood of a second yellow card.

These would've boosted both defense and Midfield and allow James move further to support the attacking more effectively.
