UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Rgram]

Osimhen's ability is good and he should be in a much better team to get bigger opportunities in his career, like the English league for example, maybe he will shine, I think Liverpool or Manchester United are suitable for him considering these two teams seem to be dull in attack and Osimhen can be a good complement, and compete with Mbappe as a striker no matter their position as a winger or center forward they can definitely compete well, but getting the league cup is easier with Galatasaray in their domestic league than in English league.

I wouldn’t want to discredit the Nigerian and yeah, he is a very good talent that knows how to get into those pocket of spaces and find the net. In as much as we would like to see him in some of the best leagues like the Laliga or premier league, it would be worth nothing that not all teams do bring out your best and some leagues can cast a shadow on your play. Like what’s happening with Isak at Liverpool or what happened to Hazard when he joined Real Madrid.
Fate and management would find him someday but, until that day comes, he’s good being best some place else.

Osimhen going to a new bigger team would not make sense at all for all those teams. Because nobody will sell him for 75 million when they paid 75 million for him already, so he will worth more, and the team who wants to get him will pay more, and not like he will suddenly start asking for less salary neither.

So when they could have gotten him cheaper and younger, they would pay more for his older version for what reason? Because they need him now more than they used to? Makes no sense.

It doesn’t make sense, but Osimhen has kept the same price. He is in good form, and the clubs that missed the chance to sign him earlier will now have to pay a higher fee. As i said, he is in good form , last month he missed a few matches due to injury, but now he is playing very well at AFCON for Nigeria. I think any club that decides to sign him will not regret it. He is 27 years old and currently in his prime when it comes to football

[allthebitandbobs]

Mbappe was a great scorer even when he played as a winger, so he always scored and not started when he moved to striker position. However, we have to also remember that he didn't move there at Real Madrid, he already moved there at PSG when he was playing with Neymar. Because Neymar was a left winger, which meant that Mbappe couldn't play there, just like how he can't play there because he has Vinicious there.

So all in all, we had Mbappe at striker for nearly 5 seasons now at least, and he got used to it by now. Obviously he learned to score a lot more there, and thanks to this he is leading everywhere. I bet that Haaland could still rival, but it will depend on the games and how they are playing to decide the end result.

[Franctoshi]

I see Arsenal as the favorite side in this game because they know how to defeat Italian clubs. Inter is hot currently, but Arsenal is super hot. Chivu will find it difficult to understand Arteta strategy and how to contain it. It's supposed to be a tough match because both clubs are sitting on top of the table in their domestic league.

That's your opinion but for me, don't see any of them as the favourite here reason being that both team are not doing too bad in their various domestic leagues, arsenal might be defeating the Italian series teams in the past but that may not happen in this match, and make you feel that inter can not win arsenal, although generally Italian teams don't find it easy when the meet with English premier League teams, if not for Chelsea that is full of shit this season that paved way for Atlanta to win them in there last UEFA champions league match, let's see what both teams got in this match, personally I am expecting a very strong encounter between the two teams.

Even though the match  will be play at inter home. If Arsenal will continue maintaining this same consistency till when the match will be played, I’m giving Arsenal a win in that match, because Arsenal is far better than inter Milan currently, no doubt and with the Arteta strategy is very good this season, I don’t think inter will win Arsenal in this match. Even if they will be playing at home.

However, it’s too early to talk about this match anyway, let’s wait and see if both team can continue with their current form, especially Arsenal that we are already giving a win already even before the time reach which is still long.

Arsenal cannot win Inter at homesoil, no matter how many games they won before this their encounter, Inter is a formidable team and wouldn't allow Arsenal to defeat them at home, yes Arsenal has quite been in form lately but that doesn't give me them the edge over winning inter at home.

Chivu will find it difficult to understand Arteta strategy and how to contain it. It's supposed to be a tough match because both clubs are sitting on top of the table in their domestic league.

I also thought so at first when I saw the schedule, but now my thoughts have changed after seeing a slight decline in Arsenal's performance, which makes other possibilities possible in the upcoming match, especially since Inter Milan's performance is now increasingly improving, so I will slightly favor Inter Milan in the upcoming match, especially since Inter Milan will be playing at home, so I think this will have a big impact.

This match will be played on January 21, 2026, so both teams will have to play several important matches in the domestic league first and there will be unexpected events that occur during this period such as injuries to key players and declining performance due to players' mentality dropping after experiencing defeat. Currently, both are leading the standings in their respective leagues, but in terms of performance, Arsenal is superior to Inter Milan.
After losing to Aston Villa, Arsenal immediately bounced back by winning five consecutive games in different competitions, while Inter Milan is still struggling to reach its peak performance. Inter Milan is slightly favored due to the home advantage, but you must not forget that Arsenal is the only team that is unbeaten in the 6 matches that have been played.

Yeah the time gap is something matters, injuries, form changes. Totally agree with you there.

But Inter is 6th right now. It's not safe at all. They're tied on points with Real Madrid, Atletico and Liverpool. The only thing that separates them is goal difference. And it's not even that big of a gap.

So what happens if they lose against Arsenal? They are on 12 points with one game to go. Meanwhile Madrid play Monaco Liverpool get Marseille Atletico face Galays Those are way easier games. If those three win and Inter lose. They're out of the top 8 altogether.

Inter Milan is a strong team, and they are currently performing very well in their domestic league right now, but I think Arsenal can win against Inter Milan in Italy because Arsenal is in a super form this season, and if Liverpool could win against Inter Milan at San Siro, then it is very much possible for Arsenal, who has defeated teams stronger than Inter Milan in the Champions League this season, to secure all three points against Inter Milan when they visit Inter Milan at San Siro.

[Tamaperdana]

Victor Osimhen is certainly more comparable to Erling Haaland, they are both centre forwards and they do that for a living, while Mbappe is very much a winger, in fact he started out just like that, but now he has also become a striker, and i think he can definitely compete with them in terms of performance.

Yes, Osimhen and Haaland have been center forwards since their international careers began, so it's no surprise that they've become accustomed to that position and can perform optimally. But speaking of Mbappé, as we know, he originally played as a winger, and even at PSG, he played as a winger for a long time. So, now that Mbappé is a center forward, he'll definitely have to adapt to achieve his full potential. I think Mbappé's performance is quite good, although not yet at its peak.

If Mbappé can reach his full potential as a center forward, he'll undoubtedly score even more goals. Mbappé has been the top scorer in the Champions League for a while now. So, Mbappé will undoubtedly be a very high-quality center forward. Because he is currently in a pretty great team, namely Real Madrid, so Mbappe will definitely be trained quite hard so that he can become an even sharper striker.

Arsenal cannot win Inter at homesoil, no matter how many games they won before this their encounter, Inter is a formidable team and wouldn't allow Arsenal to defeat them at home, yes Arsenal has quite been in form lately but that doesn't give me them the edge over winning inter at home.

Arsenal's chances of beating Inter Milan are quite big because if we look at the quality of Arsenal being able to beat Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, we can see that Arsenal's strength is much better. But sometimes the same thing doesn't necessarily happen because Inter Milan could do something different, especially since the match will take place at Inter Milan's home ground. If asked which team was superior in that match, I would prefer Arsenal because their quality this season looks much better and they are one of the contenders for the title.

They were certainly in that position in the youth teams too, in fact they are very comfortable in their current position and it shows.
Obviously Mbappe will achieve his goal, he is very strong and now absolutely at ease and is practically scoring a lot of goals in La Liga too.

[Mate2237]

I don't see Arsenal beating inter Milan away from home, Inter Milan is one team that, players as a unit they may not be fast and run like the way Arsenal do but we should not under rate inter Milan because they are one team that, has quality in them. Inter Milan playing at home has an extra advantage in this game there is no pressure on either side because, the both teams are on a good position on the table.


But Arsenal will like to prove a point by winning this game a win for Arsenal will make it seven win, in seven champions League games which is a record for Arsenal so this game will be a challenge for arsenal, but it will be a great test because inter Milan will not like to lose at home.

[banana33]

That's a very true statement. I'm sure Osimhen realized this this year as well. Despite doing very well and playing well for Galatasaray, he must think he should be in a bigger country and team. For a player who was the top scorer in the Champions League, playing in Spain or England would be very important. I'm sure Galatasaray will receive several offers at the end of the season. If the player wants to leave, it's very difficult for Galatasaray to keep him.

It depends on whether he wants to leave, if his purpose is money, he will certainly receive some interesting offers, if he cares a lot at Galatasaray.
Osimhen is a great player, i would say many teams would want him within their team, his presence on the pitch often changes the team's fortunes.

I bet that Haaland could still rival, but it will depend on the games and how they are playing to decide the end result.

Mbappe has been playing brilliantly for a long time, for the past 10 years, ever since he started playing for Monaco, and he was also great in the French national team in the last 2 World Cups (his clash and battle in the final of the last WC with Messi is legendary). 
It would be really interesting if Haaland also came to play in Spain; they would probably have a rivalry similar to the legendary one between Messi and Ronaldo, where Mbappe would obviously be the new Messi and Haaland Ronaldo.

[m4r1o]

Victor Osimhen is a player that can play in any club for he has the ability and talent as a striker and also good at positioning which is helpful in creating goals opportunities for the club. Manchester united or Chelsea will be a comfortable place for him because this are clubs that really needs natural strikers to make the club competitive. Osimhen in my opinion has proven to be in the ranks of players like Mbappe, and Haaland, what has really made him underrated is because of the league he is currently playing in, but should he make a move to play in one of those elite leagues like premier league he would be more visible.

Victor Osimhen is a player who can adapt to any context, of course the English would like him, a single player of that caliber could change the balance of the team leading them to raise the bar and start pushing significantly, making them truly dangerous.

Imagine the trio Osimhen, Mbappe and Haaland in the same team, in my opinion they wouldn't have the same performances they've achieved so far.

This is very difficult to predict. I see Arsenal actually having very good strength this season. I assessed that when they beat Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League match last night, that can be a benchmark for gauging the team's strength. I see that Arsenal's overall strength is slightly better than Inter Milan, so there is certainly a possibility that Arsenal can beat Inter Milan in this match.

Arsenal is on a positive trend in UCL matches this season, and that will certainly be a motivation to improve the mentality and confidence of the Arsenal players.

[Tmoonz]

Osimhen's ability is good and he should be in a much better team to get bigger opportunities in his career, like the English league for example, maybe he will shine, I think Liverpool or Manchester United are suitable for him considering these two teams seem to be dull in attack and Osimhen can be a good complement, and compete with Mbappe as a striker no matter their position as a winger or center forward they can definitely compete well, but getting the league cup is easier with Galatasaray in their domestic league than in English league.

I wouldn’t want to discredit the Nigerian and yeah, he is a very good talent that knows how to get into those pocket of spaces and find the net. In as much as we would like to see him in some of the best leagues like the Laliga or premier league, it would be worth nothing that not all teams do bring out your best and some leagues can cast a shadow on your play. Like what’s happening with Isak at Liverpool or what happened to Hazard when he joined Real Madrid.
Fate and management would find him someday but, until that day comes, he’s good being best some place else.

You really think if Victor Osimhen had the chance to play in any English premier League teams he would move to Galatasaray? The fact is Victor Osimhen is ever willing to play in the English premier League but it is very much obvious that non of the team needs him because his a black man a Nigerian at that, before Chelsea bought De lap I think they actually went for Victor Osimhen what then happened, bro to me I think Victor Osimhen should just be where he finds happiness, there that he is he is being worship the people there loves him so he should remain there.

I also think Arsenal will lose against Inter, not because Inter is stronger, but because this match is no longer important for Arsenal, considering that they have already qualified for the round of 16. So, Arsenal will likely rotate their players and rest some of their key players to avoid injury. For Inter, this match is a must-win, especially since they are playing at home, as their position to advance directly to the round of 16 is not yet secure.

I agree that sometimes there is a disparity in races especially how they value an African black player, because how can you tell me you want to sign a player that has proven himself consistently in the Serie A, banging goals in a league known to have very few goals by offering half the wages he was already receiving, that shows you do not appreciate what he will offer to your squad (Chelsea saga) the Premier League is not ready for Osimhen because how can Wesley Fofana be receiving €200k per week and you can't offer Osimhen same deal. That's why we can see numerous African Players playing for European countries.

But Osimhen scoring 6 goals in 6 matches played in the UCL is no joke tying same goal numbers with Haaland. Hope to see more from him.

[martinom]

You should expect more from mbappe more than Lamin Yamal. Mbappe is a striker and Lamin Yamal is a right winger so if your comparing them especially when it comes to top goals scorer you should also you should also consider this as well,

Meanwhile mbappe should keep this pace, because striker's like erling halland are have hunger for more goals the goal gap is not too significant, and anything can happen, so he has to perform more and earn himself more goals.

In fact, i expect much more from a player like Mbappe who can make everything easier. This boy has a lot of potential, more than other players of his age, and he can still improve. i think he will score many more goals,he is an extraordinary player

[verdinio]

Yeah the time gap is something matters, injuries, form changes. Totally agree with you there.

But Inter is 6th right now. It's not safe at all. They're tied on points with Real Madrid, Atletico and Liverpool. The only thing that separates them is goal difference. And it's not even that big of a gap.

So what happens if they lose against Arsenal? They are on 12 points with one game to go. Meanwhile Madrid play Monaco Liverpool get Marseille Atletico face Galays Those are way easier games. If those three win and Inter lose. They're out of the top 8 altogether.

The championship hasn't settled down yet and i think it still has a lot to change. It's clear that Liverpool think that among the many teams, this is the one with the least chance of all. This is clearly something we'll see over time in the next matches.
