UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Distraction]

Here is current top scorers in the CL.



Once Osimhen was topping this statistics but not anymore.    Mbappe scored 4 goals against Olympiacos. He just scored the half of his number in one match. Will anyone else finish as top scorer you think?

It depends on how far Real Madrid will go on also of course. Because Mbappe is already on fire this season. As long as they reach at least quarter finals or so I think he won't lose his place to another player.

Galatasaray is in 18th place in the Champions League points table. They have fallen behind a bit due to losing their last two matches. Galatasaray lost 1-0 against USG and Monaco in these two matches. Galatasaray lost both matches due to weak attack. And in such a situation it is very difficult for this team to qualify for the next round. I would say it is almost impossible. Because in the last two matches galatasaray will play against Atletico Madrid and manchester city. They will face two giant teams of Europe. And galatasaray is more likely to lose in both matches. Galatasray should focus on the super lig now.

The defeats in the last two matches have forced Galatasaray to fall behind in the Champions League. Although they are still in the Champions League on paper and have a chance to go to the next round, the real statistics say otherwise. Although they can do a little better against Atletico Madrid at home and keep their dream of the next round alive, because Atletico Madrid has not been playing well recently. I don't see much chance for them against Manchester City. If Atletico Madrid can win, they might be able to overcome the difficult statistics and qualify for the next round. I also underestimate this possibility!

The case of Atalanta is one which I consider as a team that will still qualify beyond this stage even with their unstable and unpredictable performances, they still have a way of knowing vital games they should squarely win so as to not get them in a position that will gwt them falling back and not proceeding beyond the current stage.

Atalanta is a fairly astute team, and they have seen that the competition in the domestic league is currently very fierce, so they have begun to focus their efforts on the Champions League, where they have so far managed to finish in the top five. I also think Atalanta will advance directly to the next round without qualifying because Atalanta's performance in the Champions League so far has been very different from their performance in Serie A this season.

Atalanta's performance so far has been very different in the domestic league compared to their performance in UCL. So it's no surprise that Atalanta will focus on UCL rather than the league. In UCL they have a strong chance of qualifying directly for the round of 16, especially since their remaining group stage matches will only involve relatively easy opponents.

However Atalanta isn't a strong team with a strong squad. Even if they focus on UCL they won't be able to advance further in UCL due to the formidable competition this season. So with the squad they have I don't think they can advance far in UCL let alone reach the final. It must be admitted that defeating Chelsea in their previous match has boosted Atalanta's confidence. They are even considered a team capable of surprising other big teams. However every team will continue to make changes once they reach the Round of 16. With Atalanta's squad it will be very difficult for them to advance further in UCL. So Atalanta should still prioritize Serie A, at least finishing in the top five.

That's more than half of his numbers and it's very impressive. One thing I love about Mbappe this season is that he didn't allow the situation of the club to attack his performance, he's been the one carry them along this season and I believe that if the team was in a better form maybe he would've done better than this.
 I doubt that Mbappe would lose his place to any player, the only thing that could make it possible this season is a long-term injury and I hope it doesn't happen to him, so he'll keep adding to the numbers as they progress in the tournament.

The issue of galatasaray, there performance this season is not at its pick at they used to in previous seasons before the signing of one of the best forward in the world now victor osimhen, galatasaray appears to be one of the best in the Turkish league with the presence of some quality players but needs to work on there weakness if they truly wants to make it to the next phase, the only problem now is the games ahead of them now in the champions league are no games for children which is while there qualifications is still in doubt even with allvthey think they have

Galatasray should focus on the super lig now.

Galatasaray will try everything possible towin this last two games, though it won't be an easy one for them considering the teams they will be playing against and the chances of winning these games are very slim honestly,  but they can still do it, anything can happen in football these days, if they are willing to pit in there best and luck works for their favor except they have given up and have chosen to just focus on other leagues which is also good because even of they qualify, are they going to survive the round of 16 or quarter final??. If they win these two games, it's luck working for them honestly

Yes, of course, if Real Madrid can reach the quarterfinals, semi-finals, or even the final, then the title of top scorer in this season's Champions League will belong to Mbappé. Not only that, Mbappé even has the chance to break the record for most goals scored in a single Champions League season, where Cristiano Ronaldo currently holds the record for most goals scored in a single Champions League season with 17 goals. Therefore, if Mbappé consistently scores goals in every match and Real Madrid can go far in the Champions League, then that record will be broken this season.

I don't see fatigue as a factor in the defeat, as Napoli themselves weren't playing effectively or Conte's strategy wasn't working well, and I also saw some finishing issues that may have been problematic.
In terms of injuries, only Bryune was unavailable, and they should have been more optimal with all the starting lineups available.
What's clear is that Benfica were far more effective and were able to capitalize on opportunities when Napoli weren't playing at their best. Napoli suffered another defeat against Udinese in Serie A in the following match after face Benfica.
This shows that Napoli's strengths are still not at their peak, and Conte still needs to evaluate many aspects.

I also believe that Napoli's defeat wasn't due to defeat but rather to Conte's ineffective strategy against Benfica. Under Jose Mourinho Benfica's defense became more solid relying solely on counterattacks. On the other hand Conte's ineffective strategy due to injuries to several players especially KDB has left Napoli without a lot of attacking power. Conte must be smart in filling the void left by KDB, especially given Napoli's worrying UCL standings.

The defeats to Benfica and Udinese provided valuable lessons for Conte to continue improving and it seems his efforts paid off when they beat Milan in the Italian Super Cup. I don't think it's too late for Napoli to continue finding a good strategy and a better lineup especially with the next match still a long way off. So Conte has plenty of time to continue improving his team and become stronger.

Mbappe plays very consistently than the others, that's what I see, I appreciate it, even though it's true like what you said that Real Madrid as a whole is not consistent, but Mbappe can provide a way out for Real Madrid and still be the owner of the top scorer in the Champions League, other players should adapt, especially their defensive line, I'm still very annoyed with what happened in the midfield because they seemed to lose direction when the enemy players attacked, the way they finished was different from what we have ever known about Real Madrid.

However Atalanta isn't a strong team with a strong squad. Even if they focus on UCL they won't be able to advance further in UCL due to the formidable competition this season. So with the squad they have I don't think they can advance far in UCL let alone reach the final. It must be admitted that defeating Chelsea in their previous match has boosted Atalanta's confidence. They are even considered a team capable of surprising other big teams. However every team will continue to make changes once they reach the Round of 16. With Atalanta's squad it will be very difficult for them to advance further in UCL. So Atalanta should still prioritize Serie A, at least finishing in the top five.

Atalanta's performance in Serie A is very poor, and they need to improve quickly. Although they are prioritizing the Champions League right now, catching up in Serie A is no easy feat, and they need to improve their performance quickly to improve their position.
Last season, they finished third, and before that, fourth. A lower finish this season would be quite embarrassing, especially considering the high expectations after the past two strong seasons.
Therefore, they need to focus on catching up rather than focusing too much on the Champions League-- at least they can finish sixth or seventh this season, even if that would directly stifle their chances of playing in the Champions League next season.

The number of injuries that Napoli players have suffered this season has been of the factors responsible for their poor performances and I blame it entirely on the management for not having a backup plan in the absence of the injured players, if the Napoli had squad debt then this issue of injured players would have deterred their progress but immediately the players started suffering injuries the effect of these injuries began to impact the team directly both in the Serie A and in UCL making them one of the worst performing teams alongside Villarreal this season.

The manager of Napoli should have thought about injuries when he was brought to the team this would have made him to have more players as back up knowing that injuries are meant to happen but he didn't do that instead he was busy selecting players of his choice without considering the replacement for players in the cases or injuries. Now his team is suffering as rhxt results it has affected their performance especially in the champions League, the teams will be hoping for a return of their players if not they will find out difficult to finish the league as winners.

Napoli mostly have issues with injuries, as they are competing in multiple leagues, which will definitely affect them. The best option for them may be to forfeit the Champions League and focus on the other competitions. We all know that on Monday they have a final to play against Bologna in the Supercoppa Italiana, and that will not be an easy task for them.

They are struggling with injuries, and I don’t think even their next game in the Champions League will favor them, because Copenhagen are also not ready to quit and their performance is almost the same in the competition. Conte needs to find the best solution for his team.

I just think that these current settings makes things some how complicating and that is one of the reasons these top teams are struggling now, but I wouldn't be looking into it that much because where the real competition start is once the knockout stages have started, but since it has not started, most of the teams are still having that feeling like even if they lose a game, they can go Scort free, and in addition, right now most teams are still struggling to find their rythme, so till the knockout stages are here, I wouldn't be looking too much into what most teams are doing now because some teams that are in top form now may have dropped in form then, so when that time has come, that's when I can confidently say anything about a team in the uefa champions League, not now that it's still pretty early.

All the teams that are doing best right now are the teams that are at the top, these are big clubs with money, so we do not really see bad teams there at all. What we have to consider in this case is that if we do let this continue in UCL format then I think it will be great. However, there is also a thinking behind all of this to make the UCL even more league structure, some Super League situation. Not sure how "more games" would be ok, considering players are getting injured playing this many games.

[sana54210]

I think Napoli has been involved in too many competitions making them a bit tired of focusing on all the competitions they're participating in. However their current squad is quite good in terms of player quality so their coach is only concerned with strategy. I think Antonio Conte a great coach with a wealth of experience will certainly make it easier for him to determine which players to field in each match arguing that his chosen lineup can bring maximum results. Considering their chances of advancing to the next round are slim it's better for them to focus solely on the Serie A title especially now that they are the defending champions.

Napoli's results in the few matches prior to their win against AC Milan made it clear they lacked a sense of purpose in the UCL. This was evident in their 2-0 defeat to Benfica despite clearly having the superior squad. However the result was unacceptable to many given Napoli's greater reputation than Benfica in the competition.

It is very very clear to anyone who watched their games is that Napoli really do not want to win in the UCL. They do not want their fans to be mad for bad results, so they are trying to make up for it in the league and at cup, there is a big chance they can win Supercoppa right now, Bologna will be their opponent in the finals, so there is a big chance they may just fail at UCL and make up for it with cup result.

They know they can't win UCL, so they do not want to be tired there, and they want to use all of their energy in the league games instead. It's clear that we are not going to see them be that great for the long term, so there isn't really anything that we can show this to be any different at all, just focus on league that's it.

The injury he had some time ago did added to his dropping on this statistics, Osimhen was going at a pace that would have gotten him that top position but he has so far been brilliant and if he misses no game again, he may get the chance to compete for that top scorer position but then he is going for AFCON which will cause him to miss some games.

Osimhen's goal statistics have indeed declined this season, regardless of injury, but I don't think his individual quality is as good as it was in the 2022/2023 season. If he were playing at a more competitive club, perhaps his individual quality could have improved significantly, but he's consistently failed to achieve that. Playing at the Africa Cup of Nations means he'll definitely miss some games, so his goal scoring stats will undoubtedly decline as he has to focus on the tournament with his country. We hope that after the break, his performances will improve significantly.

This is one of the reason I believe that xabi Alonso doesn't have the pedigree to be the manager of real madrid because he can't function very well under pressure, because am still surprised to why would he bench Kyler mbape all through in the game against Manchester City, even when he is aware that he is the most important attacking player of real madrid right now.
Instead of him to go with his best team on the day, he decided to start doing experiments with his squad, and that shows that he can't function properly when being placed on intense pressure, because if Kyler mbape had played that game, with his quality, I believe that he would have gotten a goal in that game.

I think even if Real Madrid can advance to the quarterfinals, it won't be enough to keep Mbappé at the top of the Champions League top scorers list. We can see that Haaland is currently in second place and only has a 3-goal gap with Mbappé. So, with that in mind, I think if Real Madrid can only advance to the quarterfinals and Manchester City can advance further, it's clear that Haaland will definitely overtake Mbappé. So, with that in mind, I think Real Madrid needs to at least advance to the semifinals to maintain its top spot on the top scorers list.

But even that, I don't think it's a 100% guarantee, because even if Real Madrid advances to the semifinals, Mbappé might not be able to score many more goals. So, with that in mind, I think it all depends on many factors, such as Mbappé's own performance and whether Real Madrid will advance further in the Champions League. But I hope that either Haaland or Osimhen can become the top scorer this season.

Mbappe is unstoppable this season, and we all have to admit that. We know he is one of the main reasons Real Madrid keep winning their games. Even though there are some weaknesses affecting the team, they don’t affect him, as he always utilizes the smallest opportunity he gets, which has taken him to where he is now. Just as you mentioned, he will keep topping unless he is affected by a long term injury, which I pray will not be his portion this season.

On the other hand, if Osimhen can take Galatasaray further in the competition, he will score more goals. However, I don’t think he will reach Mbappe. Maybe he can pass Haaland and finish in second place.

The top 8 in the League Phase right now goes in this order: Arsenal, Bayern Munich, PSG, City, Atalanta, Inter, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. We all know the top 8 qualifies automatically for the RO16. So with two games to go, do you guys think the current top 8 would remain the same at the end of the league phase round or would there be changes.

Do you think teams like Liverpool, Chelsea or Barcelona would creep into the top 8 and some of the teams currently in those positions would drop out to accommodate them?

I think, of the current top eight teams, the safest positions and will not fall out of the top eight are only Arsenal and Bayern Munich, but apart from those two teams, their positions still have the potential to change, especially Real Madrid and Atalanta, because the performances of Real Madrid and Atalanta are inconsistent. Therefore, it is very possible that with two matches remaining, the top eight positions will change because the teams outside the top eight are not far apart in points, such as Barcelona, ​​​​whose current position is only 2 points away from the team in the top eight, and Barcelona's performance is improving and stable.

currently, the player with the most goals in a champions league season is cristiano ronaldo with 17 goals. however, breaking this record is easier now than it was back then, because the number of matches played has increased due to changes in the league format. ronaldo broke this record by scoring 17 goals in just 13 matches.

depending on real madrid's path, we can say that mbappé has at least 5-6 more matches ahead of him. if real madrid makes it to the playoffs, this number could increase even further. unfortunately, these records don't take such things into account, and no one really cares about them. but the value of records varies greatly depending on the era.

If, for example, in 5-6 matches, Mbappé scores 2 goals per match, then Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the most goals scored in a Champions League season will be broken. However, breaking that record will depend heavily on Real Madrid's performance, especially if Mbappé stays injury-free. Honestly, I really want Mbappé to break that record, and not only that, but Real Madrid can also win the title. If both of those things are fulfilled, it would be very special for Mbappé, as he could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo's record.
