UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[tygeade]

If Galatasaray were to be serious in this match, they will be able to make a statement by defeating Atletico Madrid which is very possible especially at Rams Park. With Osimhen coming back to come and join the team at the next game against Atletico and the Atletico Madrid guys will also tighten their defense especially against the penetrative chances which will come to Osimhen, so he will not have the enough space to win for Galatasaray.

The unexpected turn for them came when they failed to win the last two games, didn't even get one point out of the last two games. They did started the season great, 3 wins out of 4 games was an unbelievable start, and by the looks for them, if they did what was expected of them, they could have won the last two games and they would have 15 points right now, already guaranteed and wouldn't care about the last two games.

However, the unexpected turn of events shows that they are having some troubles, specially when it comes to missing Osimhen, they are basically half of what they use to be without him. They will have Osimhen this time, but they will have him barely, and that is going to create some trouble against bigger teams.

The last two matches that Galatasaray played were not convincing that they would win against Atletico madrid, unless they prepare differently against Atletico madrid if not I think Atletico madrid will win irrespective of the fact that they are playing away from home. Atletico madrid will not want to lose out to Galatasaray

Atletico Madrid were able to beat Galatasaray in their last two encounters  because Victor Osimhen hadn't joined Galatasaray before the match was played as the game was played long before Osimhen join the team.Galatasaray isn't weak anymore and their form has improved significantly Victor Osimhen has enough time to focus on Galatasaray games since Nigeria is eliminated from the AFCON. Considering Victor Osimhen exceptional performance at the AFCON, Galatasaray might have the better chances of beating Atletico Madrid in the UEFA champions League.

Even with Osimhen, it will not be that easy for Galatasaray to win Atlético Madrid, as you said, because the Champions League doesn’t only focus on performance, which even Atlético Madrid have with well-performed players, but it focuses more on experience in the league. Galatasaray have little or even no experience based on the Champions League, so let’s see how the game will be on the pitch before we can say something about their performance.

And mind you, Nigeria are not knocked out yet because they will still play against Egypt to get the third place, so they still have one game to go.

Galatasaray's performance in the Champions League has been very erratic. Out of 6 matches they have won 3 matches. Galatasaray managed to win against teams like Liverpool and Ajax. But against Frankfurt, this team was defeated by a big margin of 5-1.

Galatasaray's opponents in the last two matches were Union st. Gilloise and Monaco. Despite the weaker opposition, Galatasray failed to score in both of these matches and lost both. They will play at home against Atletico Madrid. They also have the ability to win. But their performance is erratic. The road for Galatasaray to secure 3 points from the match is very difficult.

All the teams you mentioned they won in the Champions League are not comparable to Atletico Madrid, so we are all saying the same thing. I know of their performances in the Champions League this season, that is why I said they will not be able to win that game. This same Atletico Madrid are among the top eight teams on the table, so why would you expect Galatasaray to even win the game? To me, I think that is an underestimation of Atletico Madrid.

[$weetne$$]

Well I will say it will be too wrong for us to compare that of last season to this season. We know that during last season we saw how Liverpool was toping the table excellently, and how they crumble. It will be a wrong format to do such. Arsenal have been playing well this season and to me I have not seen anywhere that they are going to crumble. But to be honest this is not the time for we to predict outcomes. It will never been an easy one for them to play many competitions.

Looking at it in another way, you will see that even Liverpool had some of their players who were part of the success story of last season out of the team and they got some new guys who may probably take some time to blend in as a team. I will not really want to make such comparisons but it still does not put away expectations.

[Altryist]

All the previous season you see them try and fail do you think the coach did not learn anything good out of it? A lot has changed in the Arsenal team and the manager has been able to identify what is stopping his team from winning the league that's why you see them doing very well now. Arsenal is just underrated this season if not I don't think anyone should talk ill about the team nor her manager but it's obvious people still underestimate them because they have not won the league for a long time but this season Arsenal will shock everyone starting from Manchester City.

In the English Premier League Arsenal now have very good chances for the title. They were already six points ahead of City, and today City lost to Manchester United, while Arsenal will play their match against Nottingham very soon. If Arsenal win, they will increase their advantage to nine points. But in the Champions League the group stage does not give any guarantees. Everything will have to be decided in the playoffs, this is quite a difficult stage in the Champions League, and every game will be like a challenge. That is why I think that in the Premier League Arsenal have very good chances, but in the Champions League they have no guarantees for the title.

 I have Arsenal to win both UCL and EPL this year and that would simply be their well deserved prize for all this last 4-5-6 years where this team progressed game after game , goal after goal , point by point....so it would be really well deserved for Arsenal to win both trophies. I wouldn't mind for them to win 1 either ...and I would prefer to see them UCL champions instead of EPL even if most of the fans still want EPL over UCL.

I can't wait to see what Arsenal will do with Inter which seems like a great match to me

We are all eagerly waiting for the match of Inter milan vs arsenal. It seems that Inter Milan is very serious about the match. Today they played against Udinese. And I saw that they played very carefully. If any player gets injured, it is a big loss for them. So inter milan players were very careful and tactical. Inter milan has secured a 1-0  victory in the match. Inter milan will play against Arsenal at home. They also have a decent squad. Even then, sinceaArsenal has not lost any match, they are considered favorites. But Inter Milan also has a chance to score points.

[dezoel]

Arsenal actually has a squad that is strong enough to compete with other powerful teams in the UCL, but it will certainly not be easy for Arsenal because teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, PSG, and Man City are definitely difficult to beat. However, I believe all teams will fight to the maximum to win, even though the competition in the UCL is very intense because all the teams in the UCL are strong. It's no surprise that there are teams that surprise everyone by becoming strong despite being initially considered weak. In about three days, we will witness matches in the UCL, and there will certainly be many exciting matches. Kairat vs Club Brugge: Kairat, currently at the bottom of the standings, will undoubtedly fight with everything they have to win, even though their chances of victory are slim. However, if they win, it will certainly be better for Kairat than losing.

While it is true that Arsenal has the squad to win the UCL, they do not have the comfort. Difference is that, when Real Madrid won, they didn't cared about la liga too much, they were already winning it, when Bayern won, they were winning Bundesliga easily, when City won, they were doing treble, when PSG won they got the treble too.

So what I am trying to say is that, Arsenal do not have that comfort in the league, the yare not guaranteed and while it may get there by the final, we are going to see Arsenal putting too much effort into the league.

Inter Milan will have more risk in these matches in Champions League than Arsenal as even they are strong and have improvements with time, they still have defensive weakness while Arsenal with Arteta are good to exploit opponent's defensive weakness. Generally, Arsenal and Inter Milan are are at same quality level but Arteta has more experience than Chivu as head coach and it can be most important thing that can decide their match result.

Chivu has managed Inter Milan very well but facing with Arteta and Arsenal will be a very big challenge for him. I don't say Chivu and Inter Milan will surely lose this match but they must play very carefully if don't want to lose this match to Arsenal.

I wouldn't mind for them to win 1 either ...and I would prefer to see them UCL champions instead of EPL even if most of the fans still want EPL over UCL. 

Indeed! Even winning one of these competitions would be fair enough for Arsenal.    I'm just thinking about the possibility of losing both of them at once.

Because this is Arsenal you know. Giving hope to people and failing them isn't the thing they do for the first time for the people who have been watching the PL.

Anyway, we still need to see how they'll perform after league phase in the CL though.

With the individual abilities of each player and the quality of play they have shown this season, I admit Arsenal do have the ability to win both titles in the two competitions, they just need to maintain this performance until the last game, yes hopefully, because they have been in a position to almost become champions in two consecutive seasons.

The only thing that could hinder Arsenal from winning the champions League is injury, from their performance their players have a very good energy to fight till they the end thus season because they have shown good changes unlike before and the team is very consistent which is one of the qualities of a team that is interested in winning the trophy if they keep the energy going in the champions League and the league they will end up winning the titles.

The EPL ought to be what they should have won by now and not what they should be contending most for now in this season. The champions league is the biggest competition in Europe that certifies a team to be the best amongst others in all competitions. Arsenal can go for both trophies and if they win them both, I’ll still be proud of them to have proven many of us wrong that don’t have the full believe in them pulling off the premier league and the champions league at the same time even when they’ve being facing issues of consistency.

For the past 4-5 years, their performance has been top notch and finishing as runner up for the title in three consecutive seasons shows that Arsenal needs it, or better still they deserve the premier league title this season. The chances of them winning it is increasing more, I just hope they’ll be able to convert this opportunity in their favour. The champions league still looks to be within their reach with this excellent performance from them in the group stage, if same performance is continued, they’ll have a good hope for the champions league trophy as well.

It is not that clear to me because as you can see, Arsenal was not able to beat Nottingham, which is at the bottom of the standings in the EPL. You can see that Manchester City lost against Manchester United. Arsenal still has to play the best they can or otherwise there are enough teams in the UCL that can punish them if they have a bad day.

Liverpool couldn't beat Burnley. It is still football and nobody would watch it if all results were set in stone before the game is played. Even without injuries I don't see a reason why Arsenal could not lose against teams like Inter Milan or Barcelona.

What has become much harder this season is to beat Arsenal. A draw is possible like the one against Nottingham, but beating them is hard because they have a very stable defense so far.

Arsenal has been a good side this season and this is something that is clear enough for us to see and how they are performing from the early hours of the competition. To me I will definitely say it will be very difficult for them to lift the champions league even though injury is not affecting the team, it will be seen at the end that, it will be very much difficult for them to lift it. Right now, Arsenal are more focused for the EPL title and this is one of their major challenges they have, not the champions league

Arsenal is results number 1 in premier league with 50 points but they are under huge pressure to win their first league title since 2004. Although, they have been perfect in champions league where they have won six matches in row, they may have problems when they hit later stages when they face skilled teams such as Real Madrid or PSG. Their 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest on recent days showed that they are able to be upset when it comes to taking pressure, but their defense remains quite strong, having let in 14 goals over entire season. Upcoming week game against Inter Milan on Tuesday will serve as huge challenge when it comes to deciding whether they put league first and make sure they rest their star players such as Saka or Odegaard.

I believe sometimes we should not just judge based on current form but rather we should try to look at experience too because when we talk about experience Galatasaray is no way near Atletico Madrid in champions league and lets forget about experience because Atletico Madrid is not underperforming this season and I don't think Galatasaray is even better than them though it will be tough but experience is very important most time just that Atletico Madrid can be very annoying sometimes.

Atletico Madrid maybe more experience than Galatasaray, but if I will be staking my money on this game, I will be going for a direct winning for the Galatasaray team because they are playing at home, and we all know how this Galatasaray team are very strong at home.
If I'm not mistaken, this Galatasaray team have beaten Liverpool at home already this season, so I don't think beating atletico Madrid at home is an impossible task to carry out.
Though is an open game that can go either side but if the talisman of the Galatasaray team plays, which is Victor osimhen, I will be much more confident that they are going to beat this atletico Madrid team on their own turf.

Does home advantage actually have much impact in the champions league? I am just curious because most times teams are well beaten at their home stadium mostly when they play more experienced team. Although Galatasaray isn't completely weak they took can pull up surprises too but for me Atletico. Madrid has higher chances in this game. They should extend their points and strengthen their place in the next stage of the competition so they don't get pushed to playoffs qualifiers.
