UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[TelolettOm]

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.

Yeha, being consistent, that's the homework that Real Madrid has had to do to optimize their performance in every match, so they can always win and successfully lift the trophy again. This time, it's the era of Mbappe and his friends, yes, as we know, Mbappe is indeed very dangerous at the front, even so far, Mbappe is the top scorer in the Champions League, above Haaland, Harry Kane, and various other top attackers. Mbappe managed to score 9 goals, 3 goals more than any other player. However, unfortunately, Real Madrid's overall performance has not been that perfect, because they even lost twice in the UCL.

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

You're right, qarabag is just a team we know, luckily they made it to this competition based on the position they occupy in their league, ordinarily those days when the have not  further made some reviews in this competition, I dont think qarabag will be here, going by this, unless Olympic Marseille will take them for granted or underrate them then they will make their way easy to share the point, yes they are in form but I don't see them overriding Marseille, mate that prediction you go there, is the exact prediction for me I this particular, despyte how uncertain the game of soccer can be atimes, I am very much confident that Marseille will likely win that match.

[DanWalker]

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.

The road to qualifying for the top 8 is not easy for Liverpool yet. Because their performance is very irregular. It is not possible to predict which match the team will lose points. Liverpool will play against Marseille and Qarabag in the last two matches. Winning against Qarabag may not be difficult. Because the team is not in good form. However, getting 3 points against Marseille will not be easy for Liverpool. If they can get 6 points in these two matches, Liverpool has the possibility of making it to the top 8.

Barcelona and Chelsea are far behind in the points table. Both have 10 points and are in 13th and 15th place in the table. Also, Napoli, Juventus and Leverkusen are fighting to stay in the top 24 of the table.

Mbappe is a great player. He has  the ability to score a lot. He  is in very good form this season as in the past seasons. Mbappe is the top scorer in La Liga and Champions league. Mbappe will probably be the top scorer in the champions league. Haaland has only scored  6 goals and Kane has only scored 5 goals. Mbappe is far ahead.

But I am worried about Real Madrid. In the champions league, the team has become badly dependent on Mbappe. In 6 matches in the champions league, Real madrid has scored 13 goals. Mbappe  has scored 9 of them. If Mbappe gets injured, I am sure Madrid's performance will  drop badly. Mbappe's fitness is very good so madrid is not facing any major problems yet. But they should reduce their dependence on just one player.

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.  

Liverpool is systematically coming out of their troubles especially with the premier league as recent results have shown. Hopefully Isak is back to scoring goals which will be a very big thing for the club. Despite the challenges they faced, they have not done badly in the champions league and with Marseille and Qarabag remaining to play, they will definitely qualify for next round.

I think top 8 is nearly all set in league phase. But here is the thing. I would expect Liverpool and Barcelona also to finish in that area. Liverpool are mathematically closer there though. But Barcelona will need to do more.

However Hansi Flick is luckier than Arne Slot when it comes to remaining matches.    I think still both of them can make it there too. The teams to replace might be Atalanta and Atletico Madrid I think.

Judging by Liverpool's performance in the Premier League, where they have won three times in a row, it seems Liverpool's performance is starting to improve. Against Marseille and Qarabag in their last two matches, Liverpool were able to get maximum points and, most importantly, will qualify for the knockout stages.

We can clearly see that they are coming out from their shell, and this is something that most Liverpool fans should be happy about, although I won't say it is easy though as they still have so many games to play. Well it is a good thing that they are still in the early part of the season and in the champions league they have the Chance of qualifying to the next stage of the competition. Let's hope they have at least a win and a draw, if possible to have both wins, then they are good to go as the chance of winning those games is very high.

Liverpool's performance is now erratic. Liverpool's next Champions league match will be held on january  22. Liverpool now has 1 month to prepare. If Liverpool's performance is stable, then they have a strong chance of winning both matches. Although marseille is a bit strong , Qarabag is relatively weak. They are not able to do well on the champions league platform. So the big  challenge for liverpool now is to ensure a win against marseille. If Liverpool can win against Marseille, then I believe Liverpool will win against Qarabag too.

What Mbappe is doing in terms of ammount of goals is majestic, but aside of that i feel like is not so relevant like it was Cristiano when he was in Real Madrid for example.

Both Mbappe and Haaland are having magnificent numbers but they lack something, i dont know what it is, what the little boys today calls like "aura", maybe. But i really feel like its not the same as when Cristiano and Messi breaks the records.

Last two matches I watch against Liverpool have seen like they have started to improve gradually in the league competition and if they can improve in the league competition that means they will soon to perform more better in the champion league, I can get the believe that Liverpool can finish in top 8th if they can win all there remaining two matches in the champion league because have started seeing there improvements and they will like to show there tactics in the UCL.

Let see how Slot will manage the team and get the opportunity to qualify automatically without playing the playoffs with other clubs in the champion league before getting chance to play the around of 16th in the champion league this season. Marseille is a thread team sometimes and they are pretty doing well in the league competition and they can probably challenge Liverpool when they meet each other.

Honestly I believe Liverpool will finish at the top 8th standings of Champion League after current positive result and two matches left against Marseille and Qarabag almost easily match to get three points. Finish at top 8th position not really big challenge for Liverpool if can win two matches left and has 1 points remaining with PSG at 3rd top standings. Current positive performance in domestic league and Champion League no doubt to put Liverpool as one team will direct qualify to next round.

Have wait longer time for next Champion League match, the matchday 7 will play at last week of January next year and wish Liverpool player not get injury and already to play for two phase matches left round.

[dollyamo]

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.

Are we talking about Liverpool? i don't think they can do it. They look exhausted and out of ideas. Maybe it's just my imagination, but they're playing poorly, and in fact the parameters you're talking about aren't good.
They should perform a miracle, maybe they can ask Santa Claus for a little courage as a gift.

If Liverpool can win against Marseille, then I believe Liverpool will win against Qarabag too.

Erratic? At least they haven't lost any of their last five games and that is quite good because among their opponents were Inter Milan and Tottenham and they were able to beat both of them away from home.

Considering how they were doing a few weeks ago, this is certainly a significant improvement at least in terms of the results. Overall they can still not be satisfied because in a game like that against Tottenham (being one man down after 33 minutes), Liverpool should be far more dominant, but good for them that Tottenham is not a powerhouse at all. Otherwise they might have not won that game despite that huge advantage for over an hour...

Marseille should not be underestimated in their home stadium, especially not when you see what is on the line for both of them. They have their last game against Brugge away from home. Losing against Liverpool now could put them in a highly uncomfortable position. On the other hand, if they can get a point or the full 3 points from that game, they would at least certainly reach the playoffs.

Liverpool will indeed need a miracle and would you look at that, we are in the season of wonders and miracles. I don't know if you haven't noticed but when it comes to the champions league performance Liverpool are way different from any other team that is struggling to perform, I mean they have literally won almost all the games that people actually wrote them out from winning and this was all due to the fighting spirit they actually develop when they face off in the champions league with some of the strongest team and again football is a game filled with so much surprises.

[slapper]

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 irony is Xabi's not failing because he's clueless. He's failing because he brought to a club which worships individuals a system. At Leverkusen everybody bought into. At Madrid he's got players who think that they are bigger than tactics. The locker room being divided in two, the Brazilians and the Mbappes loyalists. That's not a squad, that's a divorce, waiting to happen.

And the fans booing Vinícius? This actually brought the Brazilian camp together against the club. Classic own goal.

You say Xabi will learn not Real isn't Bayer. I think Real's learning about hiring a chess master for a team that wanted to freestyle was always doomed. They're losing at home, getting out played by City, the confidence is shot.

Despite the challenges they faced, they have not done badly in the champions league and with Marseille and Qarabag remaining to play, they will definitely qualify for next round.

I have no much doubts about Liverpool’s qualifications to the next round of the champions league, they’ve shown some significant improvement for sometime now and that will help them to book a spot in the next round of the competition. With the fixtures left for them to play in the champions league, it’s already a big sign for them to make it to the next round of the competition. In the next round, they’ll need to level up their gameplay in order to advance further in the competition because they’ll meet bigger teams going forward and the game will become tougher going forward from there.

If Liverpool want to finish at the top 8th they need to win there both two matches  that remains in the competition and achieve the three point, and again Athletico Madrid need to lose before Liverpool can get the opportunity to overtake them and probably finish in top 8th but currently he will be very difficult because marseille are playing at home and I don't think Liverpool can win them easily in the game. So let just watch and see if Liverpool will get the opportunity to win the two games and Athletico Madrid will lose point. From 3th to 8th position know one will like to lose any games now because they can drop down if any of them lose match, so Slot have a long way in the competition but even they finish in top 9 they can play playoff and sure they will definitely qualify for the rounds 16th of the Champions League.

I think top 8 is nearly all set in league phase. But here is the thing. I would expect Liverpool and Barcelona also to finish in that area. Liverpool are mathematically closer there though. But Barcelona will need to do more.

However Hansi Flick is luckier than Arne Slot when it comes to remaining matches.    I think still both of them can make it there too. The teams to replace might be Atalanta and Atletico Madrid I think.

However, Real Madrid's current performance is a bit slow because otherwise they would have been at the top of the points table. They are playing well in the first half but are not able to score in the match. This can be a big problem in the league phase. I hope their defensive irregularities, injuries and rotation do not give the team a hard time. Some areas of defense such as fullback and center back need to be worked on. But another big thing is to reduce the over-reliance on individual brilliance.

We have known Real Madrid as a team that most a times depends on individual brilliance, and this is something that they need to work on if they want to improve in their performance. During the early stage of the season, we can see how real Madrid have been playing and suddenly everything start to drop from being form to underperforming. We only hope there is a defensive problem solving, that will definitely help hold the back.
Real Madrid back line as not being stable, and this is where Xabi needs to resolve, before it eat them up.
