UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Mourinho at Real Madrid again? No way. I highly doubt he will ever manage again one of the best teams in the world. He was very good 10-15 years ago but I feel like he never actually changed his style of play, which is kind of outdated at this point. He has a lot of experience for sure, but he's not the type of manager you'd want in charge of Real Madrid.

I heard this rumor a few weeks ago, some media said Perez wanted to bring Mou back to the Bernabeu to replace Xabi, there was also Zidane name on the list, but we know Mou was heavily criticized when he coached Madrid, his relationship with some Spanish media was not so good, as well as his relationship with Perez. So it is very unlikely for Mou to return to the Bernabeu again, he has also said it before to refuse.

I also doubt that Mourinho would want to return to Real Madrid, but here I see that Real Madrid really needs a new coach if they still want to compete in the Premier League this season, regardless of who they bring in, but they have to do it. 

And I see that there are still several experienced coaches available for them to bring in, not just Jose Mourinho; I even really hope that Zidane would want to come back to become the coach of Real Madrid.

It can be said that Real Madrid's performance was so bad that Benfica was able to beat them... but it was also thanks to Mourinho who was able to set the best strategy for Benfica, so that Benfica players were able to play that well even though the team they faced was Real Madrid which should have won this match, but unfortunately Real Madrid was not in that form and unfortunately they met Benfica who was coached by Mourinho. Real Madrid needs to learn a lot from this mistake because this defeat was so unlucky for a team as big as them.

This is one part of football that is not often spoken about, whenever  a team does nicely, you hardly see people come out  in their numbers to commend the coach well enough  but if they happen  to fail  and loose a game, the coach will be given every form of abuse and sometimes insult for poor strategy and not been able  to holed place with the team so well, I join in the commendation for mourinho, he did a nice job and Benfica got it right with Madrid in that fixture, we will be hoping they keep up with that form.

I just read that the participant coefficient of La Liga in Europe has declined. One of the direct qualifications for the league stage this year is very poor for the participants from La Liga. In the current La Liga coefficient ranking, they are in fourth place. They are only 0.31 behind Serie A. So if they do not immediately improve their performance in the UCL or Europa League, Spain could potentially be surpassed by Italy, reducing the direct qualifications to Europe.

It's not surprising, as the ranking takes into account the results of the last 5 years, and the influence of Real's past victories ceases to matter, while the contribution of other teams is very small. But this season, I think La Liga will improve its position. In the Champions League, La Liga is represented by Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, ​​while in the Europa League Betis and Celta Vigo play for the team. In Serie A it's Inter, Juventus, Atalanta and Roma, Bologna respectively. If I had to choose, I would bet on the first set of teams.

You're right, it wasn't Benfica's fault, because any team could have beaten Real Madrid the way they played. Real Madrid was solely to blame for playing so badly, so terribly, playing without desire, without hunger. I don't understand how, being from Real Madrid, you go out and play without desire in a Champions League match. Believe me, it would have been 7 goals if it hadn't been for Courtois, Mbappe, and Asensio. Everyone was bad, even Arbeloa.

It can be said that Real Madrid's performance was so bad that Benfica was able to beat them... but it was also thanks to Mourinho who was able to set the best strategy for Benfica, so that Benfica players were able to play that well even though the team they faced was Real Madrid which should have won this match, but unfortunately Real Madrid was not in that form and unfortunately they met Benfica who was coached by Mourinho. Real Madrid needs to learn a lot from this mistake because this defeat was so unlucky for a team as big as them.

I think Real Madrid defeat demonstrates Arbeloa inexperience as a manager, while Mourinho is already very experienced. Real Madrid started the match very well, but then they seemed to underestimate Benfica. Clearly, this defeat should be a valuable lesson for Real Madrid, as they need to perform better in the playoffs to advance to the round of 16.

Real Madrid has been losing matches in the Champions League this season even when Xabi Alonso was in charge as Real Madrid head coach, so I disagree with you that Real Madrid defeat at the hands of Benfica demonstrates Arbeloa's inexperience as a manager. Real Madrid players were surprised with the defeat they conceded against Benfica, and I believe Real Madrid has learned their lesson from that match. I think Real Madrid will be more serious in the play off so that they will qualify for the knockout phase.

The next game of the champions league is said to be the one people are most talking about Real Madrid and Benfica. They call the game a revenge game for Real Madrid to get back at Benfica after beating them in their last game of the round one. Now advancing at this stage for Real Madrid is very hard to happen because playing against Real Madrid knowing fully well that this is their last chance to be in the competition will be very hard for them to advance to the next round of the competition. I know that this two teams will try their best but Real Madrid still stands to be the best in this encounter than Benfica would.

The match between real Madrid and benfica is going to be a very tough game . And am not that certain if it is going to be a revenge game because benfica make likely end up winning this match. If look at real Madrid recent performance it isn't that much encouraging at all . So call it a revenge match makes it look as if real Madrid stands a better odd of winning.

There are quite a few big teams in the play offs, who would maybe have expected to avoid them and be in the top 8 of the league phase.

Real Madrid have a tough tie against Benfica and PSG have an all French tie against Monaco. Atletico and Inter have easier match ups but don’t be surprised to see one of the big boys crash out before the last 16.

What am really interested in that match is catching the lucrative odd they will give to Benfica to win the match because the only thing Real Madrid got working for them as an advantage in that fixture is playing in there home ground and Mbappe, that's the only two advantage because Arbeloa isn't a tactician and the playoffs is a game of brains and wit, if he can't win again Albacete in a knockout round for a Spanish cup, talk more a Champions League game.

In the playoffs, Real Madrid will face Benfica again. So, I'm really curious whether Real Madrid will lose again or seek revenge by defeating Benfica. But i'm sure many people are favoring Real Madrid to win this match. Because some of them think that Benfica's victory in the previous match was just a fluke and won't happen again. But I think Benfica still has a pretty good chance of winning this match...

Because I saw that they played well in the previous match,, and that can't be denied. Furthermore,, several Real Madrid players have received red cards and will definitely not be able to participate in this upcoming match. So, this will certainly make the Real Madrid squad a little less balanced. Therefore,, I think Real Madrid should be careful in this match and not underestimate Benfica. Because if Real Madrid loses again in this match, I think it would be very embarrassing.

I'm also very curious to see how they will face Benfica who played a good match against them, I still remember the goal they conceded from the goalkeeper, it really surprised me, I don't think they will be able to do something like that again but they can always try

So it is very unlikely for Mou to return to the Bernabeu again, he has also said it before to refuse.

I don't think it's the most necessary thing for this club right now in this historical moment, I think that Real Madrid needs a coach who can manage these players in the best way, but I don't think it's possible to change him now, I can't understand if there are any plans in progress

real madrid may have lost a match to benfica, but losing to benfica in the playoffs? i can't even imagine that happening.

And that's where the beauty of football comes in... When you least expected, the worse eventually happens. In the last match day of the group stage games, the odds for a goalkeeper not to score was around 18, until the worse happened. People lossing money because they never imagined it. I haven't been following Benfica, but I respect Mourinho a lot as one of the best managers ever, and he still got that little touch of magic to do crazy things when least expected. On paper, Real Madrid should be advancing further because they're obviously the bigger name here, but that is left for them to fight for on the pitch. I'm not writing any team off in this one, because they both stand a chance to make it to the next round.

Yes they have been losing right from the time of Xabi Alonso but not to certain teams which they can easily defeat, Benfica is not a small club but you can't compare them to Real Madrid, the new manager of Real Madrid lost his first game for Real Madrid now he has lost n the champions League now are we suppose to be giving him the support of to carry on or see him get dismissed as the manager for the team to look for another. Benfica can defeat them again if they do not apply wisdom in the game.
