UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Luzin]

The match was very exciting. Although I was surrounded by Madrid fans, they ultimately remained silent about the result. I made a substantial profit on my bet, as I was against three people who had picked Madrid.

They are silent because they consider this a dream; last season Madrid dominated with victories when playing against Man City. Xabi has worked to the maximum, he tried to get points today. But indeed, the performance of Madrid players, especially the defenders, in my view, was not optimal, especially Rudiger, I saw him perform poorly. Man City's penalty was purely his fault. Maybe he forgot about VAR. Besides that, I saw Endrick's performance as quite interesting. Although he couldn't help save Madrid, Endrick played very well. He was able to create space, provide passes, and even make shots on goal. This defeat seems likely to generate even more speculation about Xabi.

Juventus won 2-0, but Pafos definitely dominated the first half and played more effectively. If it weren't for the shot that hit the post and goalkeeper Gregorio's saves, the result of this match would have caused a much bigger stir.
Juventus won 2-0 with goals in the 67th and 72nd minutes, but they didn't play the kind of football that deserved the victory.
Pafos has attracted attention with the football they've been playing this season.

Juventus now have 9 points and their remaining two matches are against Benfica and Monaco.
If Juventus plays like they did yesterday, they won't be able to beat Benfica and Monaco.

Of course, Alonso knows what his decision must be. So, is Real Madrid truly secure in their position to qualify for the round of 16? In fact, Alonso should have maximized the match, especially playing at home, and not experimented with benching Mbappé. I think the defeat frustrated the players and further disrupted their plans. It's certainly not easy for Alonso to make decisions with so many injuries, but he must maximize the available players by setting high targets.

Yep, of course. It’s still pretty easy for Madrid to qualify for the round of 16 even with some players injured. We can see that this loss wasn’t by a big margin anyway, and it looked more like bad luck for Madrid. If you’re saying the defeat frustrated the players, I don’t think it’s going to affect their performance. Some of their key players have gone through this kind of thing many times in the UCL and they’re very experienced. So there’s no reason for them to perform badly just because they lost one match.

I have no words to say about Madrid. Their performance made me very disappointed. No matter how exciting Real Madrid is, they can't finish well. Real Madrid started very well but they couldn't keep it up. With the performance they had at the beginning, I thought this match would be a good win for Real Madrid. But nothing like that happened, but Real Madrid tried hard and they played well but maybe luck wasn't on Real Madrid's side and that's why it happened.

Real Madrid's attacking part played very well, not only the attacking part but they played well everywhere but it happened because of small mistakes. They conceded the second goal because of a small mistake

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

If you look at Real Madrid's position in the current Champions League standings, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that Real Madrid has been destroyed because this position is a position that can immediately qualify for the next round without having to qualify again. Even if we compare Real Madrid with Napoli, which this season is still looking good in its own domestic league, Napoli's position in the Champions League is very worse than several other teams because Napoli has the potential to not qualify for the next round if they are unable to win the upcoming match in the Champions League. So try to make a little comparison when you see that one of the teams has lost in any competition.

But it must be admitted that Real Madrid's performance so far has declined a bit and they have even struggled to win in the previous few matches. Currently, Real Madrid have suffered four defeats in all competitions and they have drawn their previous three matches. Results like this are not good for a team like Real Madrid because we see that there are many problems that they may be facing and if no changes can be made then Xabi Alonso's position will not be safe in the coaching position. The defeat to Mancanegara City in the Champions League was a little more painful because Real Madrid should have been able to win if several core players had been involved in the match.

It's certainly not easy for Alonso to make decisions with so many injuries, but he must maximize the available players by setting high targets.

I knew Alonso as a talented coach. It is normal that he will experiment with the Madrid squad. Madrid is in a shaky situation now, Alonso should try different experiments and formations. If you want to stabilize the squad, you need to change the tactics.

But in such an important match, Alonso will experiment like this, keep the most important player of the squad like Mbappe on the bench, it is difficult to accept. He gave Gonzalo a chance in the starting XI. Gonzalo Hayyiba is talented but he is not experienced. In this match, Madrid players had a total of 16 shots, but there was only 1 shot on target. Madrid lost this match because of Alonso's bad decision.

Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Manchester City at home, so it ended just as I expected.
I can't say the match was of very high quality because I don't think it was an enjoyable game.
With this defeat, the question marks surrounding Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid have increased even more.

Another match that caught my attention was Borussia Dortmund vs. Bodo Glimt.
Even though Dortmund took the lead twice, Bodo Glimt managed to equalize the match and secured a point in a tough away game like Dortmund.

with the defeat of Manchester city, Xabi Alonso's future is increasingly threatened at Real Madrid, and this has become a serious problem that must be overcome by Real Madrid, they have lost in several important matches, after being eliminated at the top of La Liga, now Real Madrid is again humiliated by Manchester City in UEFA, Xabi Alonso should be able to provide a little encouragement to the players, but the change did not work at all even though in that match Madrid played very well, but Manchester City in that match was very dominant so they were able to score two goals, and finally they won 2-1 from Real Madrid.

The Borussia Dortmund vs Bodo Glimt match was very interesting and they had to be willing to share points in the match, but Bodo Glimt is still stuck in 32nd place with 3 points, while Borussia Dortmund is in tenth place.

Real Madrid losing their last two home games is unacceptable. They dropped points and lost both in the league and the Champions League. I agree that Manchester City is a strong team, but Real Madrid needed to win this match. It's time for the strong Real Madrid to step up again. Questions about manager Xabi are growing daily. Whether he's a good manager for the team is now being questioned.

Real Madrid are currently seventh in the Champions League standings. They have only two games left and must finish in the top eight. Otherwise, they risk elimination after their playoff match. I would have expected a team like Real Madrid to finish in the top three, but they are currently seventh.

I wasn't surprised by the final result of this match, Kylian Mbappé's absence made Real Madrid's attack a bit difficult, there were many chances that should have resulted in goals for the team but poor finishing cost them at home. In my opinion, Vinícius Júnior wasted too many chances in that match, Álvaro Carreras worked very hard to support the attack from the left wing but the attackers were unable to find the net, the only goal was scored by Rodrygo. The loss of Mbappé in that match had a big impact on the team, the introduction of Endrick gave a little hope, Xabi Alonso had given confidence in this big match but his best chance failed to penetrate Gianluigi Donnarumma's goal because it hit the crossbar. It was an entertaining match even though it was a bad result for Madrid, but whatever the result, Real Madrid will still qualify for the next round. In my opinion, this match should be a matter of evaluation, especially when the team had to play without a core player.

I have no doubts about Real Madrid abilities qualifying for the round of 16 isn't difficult for them, even if they have to go through the play-offs. However, with the team's current situation and performance, who can guarantee that Real Madrid will stay in the UCL for much longer? This is what is worrying at the moment.
Defeat after defeat will increase the pressure on the players which will impact the final results achieved, the defeat to Celta Vigo still greatly affected them when they faced Manchester City, they also got another disappointing result. I hope that no more key Real Madrid players are injured in the next game because if that happens, it will probably make it even more difficult for Real Madrid to continue their journey in the Champions League and compete with Barcelona in La Liga.

This season doesn't seem to be for Madrid. Xabi keeps receiving criticism for the team's performance, which is considered unsatisfactory. 
Madrid has to fight hard for the remaining two matches, facing Benfica and Monaco. Both could possibly surprise Madrid if the team's situation is still chaotic. Especially if a coaching change occurs, it will definitely require further adjustments.

I was one of the football fan calling for xabi Alonso to be given more time to work on his team, but with what I saw last night from him, my sentiment about him has changed entirely, because I discovered that he is not good enough to manage a top team like real Madrid, because under small pressure, he started making stupid decisions, that shows that the real madrid job is bigger than him.
Which competent manager will drop his best player on the bench and be doing an experiment with his team in the biggest game of the season?
That shows that he can't handle pressure, and as such, he should be replaced with a more experience and competent manager that can lead the team to glory, that's my own honest opinion about him.

Both club needed to win and Real madrid lost while Man city won though i was expecting the match to end in draw but unfortunately Man city won. Real madrid will have to win their remaining two matches if they don't want to be in a difficult corner, due to madrid past record in the uefa champions league people always expected them to win all matches, Xsbi Alonso will be seriously question if Real madrid fails to qualify to the next round.

I don't think there will be an immediate change of manager, but Real Madrid absolutely must win this match. If they can't win both of these games, then a change of manager might be on the table. I think Xabi needs time, but if they lose to weaker opponents in these two games, Real Madrid might take some tough decisions. Rodrygo's performance in the Manchester City game also raised questions about why he wasn't played. He was one of Real Madrid's most effective players. Perhaps he should get more playing time.

Well, as I envisaged in my previous post, Real Madrid was defeated by Manchester City. Haaland indeed scored, but this time from penalty. Nevertheless, I didn’t bet on this match. Instead, I chose the clash between Benfica and Napoli, placing my bet on Benfica ^{and I was not wrong}. My bet paid off, giving the little boost to my bankroll.

Before the match against Man City, I heard rumours that the match would be Xabi Alonso's last chance, and if he lost against Man City, he would be sacked. But it turns out that all of that was just a rumour, because even though he lost in the end, he was still with Madrid.

Despite that issue, I'm frankly a bit curious about what Xabi Alonso will do to get Real Madrid back on track, because with the defeat after defeat that they continue to experience, it seems that it will affect their self-confidence enough, and the pressure they will feel will definitely be heavier than now. If this problem cannot be resolved immediately, then it is only a matter of time until Xabi Alonso is actually kicked out of there.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Noni Madueke MOT for the Arsenal game today. His first goal was superb.

Arsenal is unbeaten in the UCL, sitting at the top, and also in the EPL.

I think they are on the right track in both competition and will possibly win a trophy this season.

I think is safe to say Madueke has improved since he joined Arsenal from Chelsea, some of his moves wasn't seen while playing for the Blues, to be honest with you I never expected him to make that big run from the player that was with him and to even ignore the runs and clear chance to pass and shot the ball to find the back of the net, this will give him the courage to continue trying this same style of play always when he's with the ball...it will help if he applies it to the EPL games and by so doing I don't see any reason why the EPL defenders won't see him as danger man.
This is a surprising display by Arsenal for topping both competitions they're in, the EPL they sit at the top and the champions league they're on top and unbeaten, I'd say this is their best in a long while. They need to use this same force in their next remaining games but yet again, it will be bad if they mess this good run up by losing their important game when the game comes to home and away but still congratulations to them.

The Real Madrid vs. Manchester City match was very exciting because we saw fierce competition. Manchester City gave it their all to win, as did Real Madrid. Unfortunately, Real Madrid lost to Manchester City by a narrow margin of 1-2. Now, Manchester City fans must be overjoyed because their team managed to beat Real Madrid. However, it's unfortunate that Real Madrid couldn't defeat Manchester City, especially since they were the home team in that match.

Fortunately, I bet on Manchester City's victory in that match, and I ended up winning. Did you also succeed in your bets for that match? In my opinion, one of the reasons Real Madrid played poorly was because Mbappe didn't play. If he had played, I think Real Madrid would have had the potential to win this match. But now it's all over, and what's important now is that Xabi needs to improve Real Madrid's performance so they can perform better in upcoming matches. But in this match, fortunately, Real Madrid managed to score a goal against Manchester City, even though they lost.

This was perhaps one of the important matches for Xabi's future, Real Madrid played well, not at their best but you can't expect anything better at the moment.
Manchester City did better and deserved the win, certainly Mbappé's absence was felt, perhaps they would have had more pressure in attack?
It's over now and they'll have to get over it.
