UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Daniel91]

I also believe that Real Madrid have a huge chance but apart from Mbappé, no other player is in a good position. The collective ability of the entire team is more important for a team to win. It is not possible to win regularly let alone win trophy by relying on just one or two players.

The team is still in a good position, but how long can it last if he doesn't put in the effort and just lives off the results? We don't know, so he must try to fix the team's problems.
Very important in terms of future returns of work done now.
I think Real Madrid can recover

Real has a very high-quality team and they started the season very well, especially playing a great match against Barcelona. 
However, the current crisis in the team's play and results is not due to a lack of quality but to internal problems within the squad, a lack of unity in the team, and current conflicts between players and the coach. 
It is high time that Vinicius stops behaving childishly when the coach substitutes him earlier in a match or when fans jeer or whistle at him, and that he puts the team first. 
No one is above the team, not even him. 
It seems to me that Xabi has lost control of the team, and if there isn’t a turnaround in play and results soon, he will inevitably become the former Real coach. 
He will probably learn the hard way that coaching Bayer is not the same as coaching Real.

The answer will become clearer when we look at the teams that will go to the Semi Finals or if the scenario is that both teams are in the Semi Finals then I prefer Mbappe, I'm not underestimating Haaland but I remember he needs someone to score a lot of goals or penalties while Mbappe can be relied upon in any condition, yeah this is just a personal opinion. In the next match we can see both teams will play against weaker teams and Mbappe has a good chance of playing at home with Madrid well he has the potential to score a few more goals while Haaland plays away.

In short, Mbappe is a good player and an excellent professional, but he's not a machine.
Sooner or later he could suffer from having to constantly adjust Real Madrid's matches, both physically and psychologically.
Let's not put all this weight and pressure on his shoulders.

Liverpool are getting better with their recent results recently. Do you think they will finish league phase in top 8 here? Honestly I think they have a serious chance for it considering their remaining matches are winnable.  

I'm not ruling them out, even though the current situation doesn't give much hope that they will advance further, but just to get into the top 8, the opportunity is quite wide open, they can take advantage of the situation of Inter getting strong opponents in their last two matches, if in one of the matches Inter loses/draws, and Liverpool wins the last two matches then Liverpool automatically enters the top 8 and advances directly to the round of 16.

Among those two matches, i think Marsielle is the only team that cough trouble Liverpool to win but on the other hands they're  in a good form in the Champions League so I feel they could go ahead to win both. Liverpool is in a good position in the Champions League butvthey have to keep doing better so they'll get into the top eight.

 Liverpool are even lucky thst they're not given very tough opponents so it's an advantage for them. However I feel that no team should be underrated cause you'll be surprised to see the team we feel is the underdog win against Liverpool and kill their hope of finishing in the top eight

Very correct he's a world class player that's why his performance is better than other of his colleagues in Real Madrid. Asides that, he's also their top attacker which means that they rely on him mostly for goals but what i love most from him is that he's very ambitious, Mbappe creates chances for himself to score he's not the kind of player that mostly rely on playmakers in his squad to be successful.

Liverpool have 12 points, Inter also have 12, but Inter still have games against Arsenal and Dortmund. The likelihood of Inter dropping points is close to 100%. There are also five other teams with 12-13 points, and even one draw could allow Liverpool to overtake them. They all face relatively easy opponents, but the probability of winning all 10 of their games is close to 0%. Therefore, given these two facts, it's safe to say that everything depends on Liverpool – if they win their games, they'll reach the top eight, and the game against Marseille will obviously be decisive.

I agree that Liverpool has a chance to win their remaining two matches. However Marseille will give Liverpool a bit of a tough time. This Ligue 1 team can't be underestimated, and they could even cost Liverpool three points. Meanwhile, Qarabag is still relatively new to the UCL, so the final result isn't the main factor.

The problem isn't with the Real Madrid coach. Even with the previous coach, when Benzema was in charge, Real Madrid had serious problems scoring goals. Then they hired Jude Bellingham, who was adapted to score goals and did that job very well until Mbappé arrived, and he's been doing his job well too. The problem lies with the management, who are obsessed with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, even though those two players haven't been able to score consistently.

[Different patterns]

To put the whole team weight on him will sooner or later have an effect on him and the team because the day he goes on injury the team will start looking for who to cover up with or how to cover up for his absence and before they can solve that, they may have lost a whole lot of games, and Real Madrid's attack needs to be unpredictable because they are a big team but if in a scenario where it's only him that scores in every single game,  then they can easily be predicted and solved. That's why other attackers needs to be properly managed and offer opportunity to prove to the team they can cover up anytime for the team and be consistent the way Mbappe has been. If Real madrid have at least 3 attackers with Mbappe consistency they would have scored more goals this season

He (their coach) is lready improving the team, atleast there's an improvement from their performance recently in the domestic league and they could extend it to the champions League, moreover they're in a good position in the UCL, what they just need to do is maintain it so they'll moce to the next round with ease. I see that several of their players have recovered so it could give them a boost concerning doing better, since one of their major problem this season has been injuries, especially from the defense position. I also feel that they seriously need to take advantage of the upcoming transfer window cause it would go a long way for them.

Xabi Alonso is certainly considering several solutions to the problems plaguing Real Madrid.
How do i know? Over the years, I've noticed, even though i am only 28, that Real Madrid doesn't hire coaches at random, but rather people who know how to think.

[Razmirraz]

Mbappe has always been a mainstay in Real Madrid's front line because Xabi Alonso has great confidence in his ability and strong instincts for scoring goals. True, he's not a machine, and the coach shouldn't demand more from him than he can give to the team. Furthermore, player performance isn't always consistent. He might make a significant contribution to the team in one match, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee the same performance in another.
Xabi Alonso should not force himself to continue playing amidst Real Madrid's very busy schedule, he needs rest to recover his physical condition, if he is injured it will be very detrimental to Real Madrid who are fighting to win the UCL trophy.

Considering who they have been playing in the last month, I can say that Qarabag at home should be an easy pick, but I don’t see them winning away against Marseille. Marseille have proven themselves to be a tough nut to crack; they even won against an even tougher opponent like Newcastle, so Liverpool would definitely be happy if they manage to squeeze out a draw there. That would put Liverpool on 16 points, which may just be enough to secure 8th place.

This might not be totally correct. Some coaches have failed to live up to expectations and were sacked within a short time by Real Madrid management. Coaches like Carlos QueirozJuan Antonio Ipina, Ramon Encinas, Rafa Benítez, Luis Carniglia, Julen Lopetegui, and Miljan Miljanic underperformed in the club. Signing a coach or player is like gambling because you might not get the projected outcome for some reason. Coming from different leagues and meeting different players might affect the performance of even the best coach who comes to a new club.

[Berry2d]

With the way the champions league table looks like and the games are going I think predicting who the champions of Europe would be is no longer complicating as the winner won't go beyond the first 8 teams in the table, if it is from there performance now I think I will gladly say it will go to Arsenal but giving it to Arsenal is the worst mistake I can't afford to make because arsenal knows exactly how to turn down the hope of all as they may end up losing form when all expectations are placed on them

Real Madrid's main problem is their over-reliance on Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe is the only consistent player, even when it comes to scoring goals. Xabi Alonso should make some signings to strengthen the defensive line and add new strength to the attacking line with Mbappe's replacement. The wingers should have players who will not only fill the team's numbers, but also play a role in scoring goals.

As a coach, Xabi Alonso is a genius, as we saw during his time at Leverkusen. Winning the title against a tough team like Bayern Munich was not easy for any coach or team. He is still not able to adapt to Real Madrid, maybe he will take some effective steps in the upcoming window.

This raises some curiosity about who will be the top scorer in this season's Champions League, as both players have already equaled and even surpassed Ronaldo's domestic league goalscoring record. So, it's possible that the two players will be neck and neck in this regard in the remaining matches of this league and even in the knockout stages. But personally, I have more confidence in Haaland than Mbappé when it comes to scoring goals in any competition this season.

i am paying close attention to this match and i am honestly quite intrigued by it. These two matches are remarkable. These two players are very focused on the objective, but i think Mbappe is the one who can be considered the most complete, while the other one plays on a slightly stronger team this year.

Marseille are a force to be reckoned with and it would be hard for qarabag to win even if they are in a good form at the mmoment. Marseille has home advantage and they would use that to dominate the game. If they could win Newcastle winning qarabag isn't really going to be much of a problem to them. my prediction for this game would be marseille to win the game in full time

It's very possible. The gap from Liverpool's position to the top 3 is just 1 point, which mean they can even finish at the top 4 as long as they can win all of their remaining games. They can collect six points in total, then all of top teams missed points by getting draw or lose.

Another thing that needs to be improved is their GD. Their GD ain't that good, and have pretty good gap to other club such as Real and Inter. So they have to score at least two or more goals with clean sheet in any remaining games. It's to ensure they can retain top 8 position when they hve same points with other club.

Liverpool's victory is very likely against those two teams, Marseille and Qarabag, although it cannot be underestimated, in my opinion, Liverpool will definitely win this match, Marseille are not that good and also Qarabag who are still newcomers, they are quite impressive but against Liverpool after making improvements they returned to their performance to be more positive and optimistic for the next match, if you bet better on Liverpool for their two remaining matches in the Champions League.

[verdinio]

Yes, the Champions League is the most intense competition and also the most difficult to predict. Therefore, I personally am not surprised if a team, such as Atalanta, excels beyond our expectations. This team is generally overlooked, as most people focus on much more well-known teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Munich, and many more. Despite their impressive performance, Atalanta is currently in fifth place in the Champions League standings, and I think that's a remarkable achievement.

Furthermore, as we know, Atalanta also managed to defeat Chelsea, who many predicted would win the Champions League. This is truly beyond our expectations, and that's why I'm confident that Atalanta can go far. I'm confident that Atalanta can advance to the knockout stages without having to go through the play-offs. Because in the two remaining matches that Atalanta will play in the Champions League, I am sure they will be able to win too, because their opponents are not too strong in my opinion.

I have not been able to predict a Champions League match for a long time, this thing is bothering me, in the sense that these players do not give me a point of reference and I cannot make a great prediction, but things will improve, surely with a little study on my part I can improve
