UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Lida93]

Well, there should be quite a few goals in this match. Both teams usually play aggressively. It would be very boring if both teams chose to play defensively. But looking at how these two teams usually play, I'm sure they will stick to their attacking strategies. Moreover, both teams seem to have more confidence in their respective forwards.

Manchester City also desperately needs this win to secure their spot in the next round without having to go through the playoffs. Since they suffered a defeat in their previous match, they must win this one. Pep is no longer the same as in previous seasons, but he remains an outstanding coach.

I expect the tempo of this game to be very high because both teams would be coming all out against each, there should be so much intensity from both teams, naturally both teams are very good on the offensive with very great players upfront in the attacking line so I expect so much shots on target and perhaps multiple goals too which are already happening with Manchester city leading 1:2.

[ingiltere]

Real Madrid and Manchester City are playing exactly as I expected. Both teams are attacking, they are ambitious and eager. Manchester City came from behind to take the lead. The penalty was the right decision. This is the first match in this game time to have over 2.5 goals.
Dortmund match is also going well. There were 2 goals in the first half, I just need one more goal. Dortmund will win this match, I expect them to score.
The only problem was the PSG match. I bet on over 2.5 goals in my parlay, but neither team had a single shot on target in the first half. Hopefully, it will be like yesterday's Bayern match and the goals will come in the second half.

[B-BossMan]

Liverpool are just an interesting team this season. They play big matches in the Champions League surprisingly well and manage to win too. But when it comes to other matches no consistency at all...

There is no consistency in Liverpool's performance. For the first 2 months of the season, Liverpool managed to keep their performance somewhat stable. And then their downfall began. And Liverpool's performance so far has been erratic. Despite having a strong squad, they are not able to play well consistently.

Liverpool won against inter milan because they were lucky. No one will say that liverpool played very well and dominated and won. Liverpool  would probably have been happy to draw the match. But Inter milan's performance was  poor. And because of this , liverpool managed  to win by a narrow margin of 1-0

About Chelsea's loss against Atalanta I'm also as baffled as you. We all must know Atalanta are really very bad this season. Gasperini's departure finished them. How come Chelsea can't beat them indeed?

Chelsea are considered hot favourites. But the fans have been disappointed again by the Chelsea players. After an erratic performance in the Premier League, they failed to perform well in the Champions League. We have to be very careful about betting on Chelsea's next matches in the Premier League. Chelsea's performances have been very erratic.

Seriously the Chelsea’s fans were not happy at all by thier performances and I wasn't happy as well, Chelsea sems to take a leads in that match against Atalanta, because I see no reason for Chelsea to be defeated by Atalanta, since they are in thier best form, I know it normally happens sometimes but this particular one was unexpected to me. However Chelsea's performances were so poor yesterday, I was even expecting them to at least secured 3 or 4 goals against Atalanta yesterday,because they had an early goal in that match. Well i must say a job weldon to Atlanta in thier victory.

Real Madrid 1 Vs Manchester City 2
Courtois run of no clean sheet against Manchester City continues. His playe 17 matches and in every of this matches, his conceded at least a goal. I wonder when Courtois will keep a clean slate against this team. Real Madrid is playing well in this game, seriously I didn't expect it especially after what happened in their last home match. Plenty of time here for either side to find the winner.. penalty for City and Haaland puts it away

Man City have completed the turn around just within 15 minutes after going behind, it could have been 3 goals to City but Courtois made so decent save to keep the deficit at just one, and I think this shows the kind of run Real Madrid are currently having both in the league and in Europe, they find it hard to control the tempo of the game even when they have the lead, that's why they just can't stop conceding goals this season.

I thought Real Madrid are going to hunt Man City again as they've done a lot of time when Ancelotti was still in charge and one of the players that have hunted Guardiola and City was Rodrygo who also happened to be goalscorer for Madrid tonight. I'd say the match is still far from over, and there might be a twist or two come the 2nd half.

[Jegileman]

Real Madrid is one goal up and the stadium went agog. Rodrygo scored a great goal and it was confusing to the keeper because he was expecting him to cross the ball, but unknown to him that Rodrygo already measured his position and placed the ball in the opposite side of the goal and that was it. Nice starting by Real Madrid and the energy is also encouraging. Right now I can say that Manchester City is overwhelmed because they are not playing anything serious. I wonder how disorganized they will be when Mbappe is brought into the match.

I hope they bring Mbappe into the match as soon as possible because Manchester City have gotten the first half equaliser and have also added one more goal to lead at halftime. I see Real Madrid fans already jubilating after the first goal today, but it seems they’re being humbled before halftime. This was suppose to be a tough match and it’ll only get tougher when we see Real Madrid equalizes in the second half to bring the game into same goals by both teams. This is Real Madrid’s home, if they can’t get a win, they should at least get a draw by end of this match. Patiently waiting to see how the second half unfolds for them whether they can turn the game around again in their favour.

[Odohu]

Rodrigo gives Madrid their first goal to take the lead on the 27th minutes. Madrid was only able to be ahead of City in eight minutes before O'Reilly canceled the goal with a rebound  to balance the scoreline 1-1. The game is balanced, both teams are playing with all seriousness to make sure that one of them can win the match.

It was an exceptional come back tonight as Manchester City were able to take the lead before half time after suffering one goal down. This has to show that English teams are not happy with Real Madrid as shown by Liverpool and now Manchester City. Something is technically missing in Real Madrid because this is not the Real Madrid we used to know. If Xabi Alonso continue getting this kind of result, he may be fired in less than no time. We shall see what he is bringing on in the second half because the match is still open.

Although Real Madrid had taken the lead first, but they failed to maintain this advantage, and now Man City turned things around to 1-2. Real Madrid played at home, but it didn't look like they could dominate the match, as Man City had more possession of the ball than Real Madrid. It seems Real Madrid really has to force Mbappe to play because maybe that's how they will have a clinical finishing touch in the front line (something important that Gonzalo Garcia and Vini lacked throughout the first half).

An interesting first half for now, Madrid opened the scoring but City started to react with the 2 goals they managed to score in this match.
This is definitely what I was hoping for in a big game although I can't deny that I wanted to see Madrid get the points (even if it was hard) but I still hoped for it.

Rodrygo? He always seems to get a good boost against Manchester City because his form always improves when he plays against City. He's got one goal now and I'm hoping that in the second half he'll be able to take advantage for Madrid.

Manchester City versus Real Madrid match always comes with both teams scoring against each other so there was no way that Courtois wouldn't have conceded tonight. Manchester City was quick to get a comeback after Rodrygo scored in the 28th minute but Nico O'Reilly equalized in the 35th minute while Erling Haaland put City ahead in the 43rd minute through a penalty kick. The statistics of both teams shows that Manchester City is giving Real Madrid the pressure because they have fired 5 goals on target and got 2 goals while Real Madrid got a shot on target and scored one goal. Manchester City is more accurate in the strikes and i wouldn't be surprised if they win Real Madrid. They have the second half to get the final result but i don't think Real Madrid will escape a defeat from Manchester City tonight.

Patiently waiting to see how the second half unfolds for them whether they can turn the game around again in their favour.

This is in Estadio Bernabéu but I still saw City more likely getting the win tonight or Real Madrid salvage a tie as it stands now. This is because they have become frequent rivals in the Champions league in recent seasons and last season Real Madrid got the better hand and did shamed them. I expect them to come in high intensity to get the win.

Rodrygo getting a goal is a plus breaking his goal drought and this will help boost his confidence especially looking at the goal he scored.

Wow!!! what a half‑time twist City snatching the lead after being down shows they’re still hungry, and it’s a reminder that English sides aren’t backing down to Madrid any time soon. If Alonso keeps dropping points like this, the pressure’s really on him. Well this really sounds tragic that Real Madrid could be up right well yesterday the pressure on them was a hell.

just like a lot of people predicted, based on city's current form they will concede but the chances of them winning is quite high, although it is not too late for Madrid to turn things around, the game might later end up as a draw but city has the upper hand now that they have scored the second goal. real Madrid's game play is quite impressive, possession and how they dominate is quite good, hopefully they will equalize

What happened to Mbappe, why he's not in the match. Madrid should have scored more than one goal. City came from behind to take the lead. Haaland penalty kick was superb. I feel there's a cheat in this match, since Mbappe isn't on the pitch. Pep men did a great job in the first half, they played pretty good.

The first half have ended Manchester City take the lead, the scoreline is 1-2. What an interesting match, a good performance from both team, Real Madrid played much better than Manchester City but Rudiger foul turned out to be Real Madrid weakness. Honestly with the Rodrigo performance in this match, I think Xabi Alonso isn't utilizing him effectively. Imagine he's playing Kylian Mbappe, Rodrigo and Vinicius in the attacking line I don't think their performance would be bad as it is now.

Manchester city managed to take the lead, but I'm not comfortable with the way they are playing I just hope they improve their performances in the second half.

Arsenal is leading Club Brugge 0-1, Madueke took the attack from the midfield and scored a brilliant goal, Club Brugge is also played wonderfully in the first half, but I'm very sure that Arsenal will score more in the second half.

[AakZaki]

It seems that Xabi is still testing the depth of the squad by not playing Mbappe from the start. A key player like Mbappé should be the starter, especially considering this is against a strong team like Man City.
I'm not too sure about Gonzalo considering he's young and needs more playing time at a high level like this.

However this appears to be part of a strategy to give Mbappe a break to minimise the risk of injury, especially since Militao and Camavinga were already injured in previous matches. I still hope that Real Madrid can bounce back in this match.

Real Madrid 1 Vs Manchester City 0
And my wondering has come to live, because i was like what if Rodrygo uses Manchester City to get his first goal in manu matches. Finally, it happened and Rodrygo has scored his first goal after 30+ matches. His good at scoring against Manchester City, I still remember that 99% chance for Manchester City to qualify and 1% chance for Real Madrid to qualify and Rodrygo from nowhere made it happen and Real Madrid won that match from 3 - 1 down with just little time to go.

I don't think this game will end up like the formal one. It now 1-2 in favor of Man City. O'Reilly N. had scored an equalizing goal at 35 minutes of the game and Haaland at 43 minutes. Man City is playing with the plan to win. Although both teams are not in their best form recently but I still see Man City to be ahead in this game.

Yes the Mbappe would actually serve as a game changer when they bring him. This is the same thing that happened to Chelsea yesterday that gotten them yo be defeated by Atalanta, so even when i saw that the Real Madrid had scored thier first goal, my thought goes to what happened to Chelsea yesterday against Atalanta, so seeing the outcomes this way doesn't suprises me honestly. Ever since I noticed that Real Madrid may began loses thier form a little, it was since thier last match against Olympiacos, like that was a narrow escaped, if not Olympiacos would have equalized that match, I just hope Real Madrid meet up to at least end the match with even draw.

[laspol65]

Real Madrid's defenders and attack department have become weak, due to which they are not able to play a good role in the attack. Manchester City is rising from the lower level of the point table, if this continues for a long time, then Manchester City will definitely be able to win. Real Madrid is performing badly this season, their poor performance indicates even worse in the future because there may be doubts among the speakers. A lot of people have bet on this match, but if the game is still ahead, the chances of Manchester City remaining ahead at the end are much higher. Because Real Madrid's team is not performing as well as it did at the beginning.

[Byebyebtc]

Well, there should be quite a few goals in this match. Both teams usually play aggressively. It would be very boring if both teams chose to play defensively. But looking at how these two teams usually play, I'm sure they will stick to their attacking strategies. Moreover, both teams seem to have more confidence in their respective forwards.

Manchester City also desperately needs this win to secure their spot in the next round without having to go through the playoffs. Since they suffered a defeat in their previous match, they must win this one. Pep is no longer the same as in previous seasons, but he remains an outstanding coach.

I expect the tempo of this game to be very high because both teams would be coming all out against each, there should be so much intensity from both teams, naturally both teams are very good on the offensive with very great players upfront in the attacking line so I expect so much shots on target and perhaps multiple goals too which are already happening with Manchester city leading 1:2.

I personally expected just little from real Madrid, because if their performance this season, but this match against man city is more different they have shown good performance today, but mancity is also ready as well and they also sow the aggression to score more goals.
The first half has ended with mancity taking the lead 2:1 we await to see if real Madrid will be able to equalise the match.

[rdluffy]

I don't think this game will up like the formal one. It now 1-2 in favor of Man City. O'Reilly N. had scored an equalizing goal at 35 minutes of the game and Haaland at 43 minutes. Man City is playing with the plan to win. Although both teams are not in good form recently but I still see Man City to be ahead in this game.

City is playing better than Real in this match
However, I'm going to take a risk and place a small bet on Real or a draw, which is now at 3.20.

I believe these are good odds for the probability, mainly because Real is playing at home and, in a matter of one play or a few minutes, can completely change the game
At least I hope so hahaha, wish me luck
