UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[silpersurfer]

I have seen Real Madrid do mysterious things in champions league so many time even when they are in good form and when they are not in a good form but currently there is a bit change in that Real Madrid we use to know before and this one now. They may win Benfica but the possibility is the same with the possibility of Benfica also winning them or drawing with them so it is more like a 50/50 game more or less survival of the fittest though I'm not saying Benfica is better than Real Madrid but rather I'm saying Benfica is a team that has defeated Real Madrid more than...

Real Madrid did lose in their previous meeting against Benfica. but I think this time Real Madrid will win. it would be very disappointing if Real Madrid couldn't even make it through the playoff round.

However, out of all the matches in the first round of the playoffs, I am personally very much looking forward to the Galatasaray vs Juventus match. I might favor Galatasaray. although I am not entirely sure myself, I personally prefer the depth of Galatasaray's squad at the moment. Juventus is indeed good, but I can no longer expect much from Juventus this season.

Real Madrid will definitely be able to silence Mourinho in this match, even though they lost yesterday, I think they will also definitely carry out a big evaluation of that defeat and find out where their failures are, why they lost, so Real Madrid can try to win well later, in betting Madrid is still the favorite to win the match.

Galatasaray and Juventus are very interesting representatives of the Serie A league and the Turkish league will be very exciting, but I'm more inclined towards Juventus, it seems because they have slightly reduced their performance in the Serie A league, maybe they are focusing on the Champions League to get a better position here, Juventus is a team that cannot be predicted easily in their matches, sometimes they are great, sometimes they lose badly.

Real Madrid's squad is very strong. I still consider Madrid to be the strongest squad in La Liga. But even then their performance is very inconsistent. And the main reason for this is the lack of strong bonding between the players. The relationship between the players is also not good. At the same time, the manager Arbeloa has little experience. Madrid will not be able to return to their strong form until they find an experienced manager.

Everyone is waiting for the Benfica vs Madrid match. Benfica defeated Madrid 4-2 in the first round. Madrid's players are waiting for revenge.

The squad quality of Real Madrid is indeed the highest in the La Liga. Because Barcelona are playing with young talents mostly.

However we don't see its reflection on their performance every time as you said. Real Madrid are really unreliable this season. Perez shouldn't have preferred a manager change in the middle of the season.  

But at least they are strong enough to eliminate Benfica for now. I just can't predict them when they face a stronger opponent in further stages.

Everybody blames Xabi Alonso but nobody really talks about Real Madrid's defenders: if it wasn't for Courtois they would have lost way more matches because the defender made many mistakes this year. The only real defensive leader, Rudiger, is often injured (and he's getting older). All the others are not reliable. They always think about the strikers and offensive midfielders, they don't think about the defensive part. It's not the first time Perez makes this mistake.

This is most certainly an excellent fixture, given that Galatasaray remains the Turkish giants and have being in good form all through the season as against Juventus who’s form isn’t very consistent but, have maintained a fairly good form, they are not a team to be taken likely as well. They lost over the weekend in their local league Serie A to Inter Milan and that was very much aided by the red card they got, they would look to make amends of that game in this Galatasaray fixture.

Galatasaray will play a very important match against Juventus today. With the support of their fans, I think Galatasaray will win, but I've noticed the ticket prices are very high. The cheapest ticket is 8000 TL. This is quite a high price, and perhaps these high ticket prices could affect the number of spectators in the stadium. Although Juventus have been playing good football in recent matches, I don't think they will beat Galatasaray in this game.

I don't know who will advance to the next round, but I think Galatasaray will win today's match.

The Champions League knockout matches start tonight.

The first match will be between Galatasaray vs Juventus. I see the chances of winning as equal for both teams, but I think Galatasaray will use their home advantage and win.
Our fans will have a strong influence on the atmosphere tonight.

Juventus have played tough matches in the league and have either lost or drawn, so I think they will struggle in this match as well.

[Tranchillo]

Really hope that Benfica plays the same as in the last champion's game. It seems they have the heart to do it and also the coach that can motivate them to do a great game and also eliminate the childish Madrid team.

Juventus is really a better team in terms of squad quality. however, they played Inter derby away this past saturday, they rested on Sunday and arrived in istanbul on monday and will be taking the pitch on Tuesday. team is both exhausted and had no time to prepare for the match.

The exact same thing happened to Liverpool. They arrived just as tired without preparation and even played with their substitutes eventually losing 1-0. Juventus could lose in the same fashion. of course, they would likely win the second leg and advance in next game....

Atletico Madrid is strong and those who play against them know it well, they will certainly be a team that can no longer be underestimated, now they must try to understand how much further they can go, the team is testing what will then be the championship, but there will also be time for that little by little, there is also the possibility, as you say, of a comeback

I am not going to argue about the fact that Atletico Madrid is good, they are obviously good and nobody can deny that. But just a proven fact from the last two games they had, they managed to beat (at the time) first place Barcelona 4-0 and literally one game later lost to 17th place Rayo Vallecano 3-0. Why am I saying this?

Because, this means Atletico Madrid could beat teams like Arsenal or Bayern or PSG, and yet they could also be the team that loses to teams like Benfica or whatever too. They are that volatile, even more so than bitcoin lol.

Don't underestimate Atletico in other competitions. I think Simeone knows that he cannot win Laliga title and has decided to give up on the league to focus more on Copa de Rey and Champions League. I feel that's his plan and that was why his men performed poorly against Rayo Vallecano. It seems Simeone is cooking something secretly.

We would have to blame him because he is the coach and should take full responsibility for the performance of the team. If he observes that some defenders are not performing up to his expectations, he should keep them on the bench. If they don't have good defenders to replace them, Xabi Alonso should report to the club to get more defenders. If he makes such a request and it is declined, then it's not his fault. If he never complained about the quality of the defenders and continued to use half-back players, then he shouldn't blame anybody but himself.

They are currently more focused on the Champions League (UCL) competition as they believe that in Serie A they only need to finish in the top four to qualify for next season's Champions League. The result against Inter is certainly a loss they might consider acceptable. However they are more prepared for the match against Galatasaray considering it a crucial match for them to advance to the next round. They will be playing at home in the second leg meaning they have a greater chance of achieving a maximum result than in this match where they will be the away team. They simply want a draw to turn things around in the second leg at the home of the Old Lady.

It’s a really tough call to predict the outcome of their clash. On one hand Juventus is class above its Turkish rival, but on the other hand Galatasaray will be playing at home and they’re not as exhausted as Juventus, who lost their last match at home while playing against Inter. From a bettor’s perspective I think  the safest option might be BTTS as both teams are known to be sharp in their attacks.

Oh men, Galatasaray is a strong and diffcult team, Turkish team have a incredible basement of ultras expecially galatasaray. In my opinion we will see a match where the midfielders make the difference, but gala have osimhen, Juventus don't have a good striker. Every two strike osimhen make one goal, jonathan david need 10 strike for 1 goal.

I predict Real Madrid performance in the first leg of the playoffs against Benfica won't be as bad as the previous match. I don't doubt Real Madrid's mentality and experience in the Champions League, as they are the club with the most trophies. In the first leg, Real Madrid needs to avoid losing by less than 2 goals to make it easier to mount a comeback in the second leg at home. Therefore, considering Real Madrid's mentality and experience in the Champions League, I'm optimistic that Real Madrid will advance from the playoffs.

I also think so, even though we know Real Madrid has been defeated by Benfica, I think it was an unexpected defeat and probably will not be repeated in this playoff round because it is a very important and decisive round for Real Madrid to advance to the next round. In the first leg, Real Madrid must be able to keep the defense tightly so that Benfica does not easily break through the goal and also must try by playing pressure so that the mentality of the club players is disturbed and finally can't do much, then in the second leg, Real Madrid was able to take revenge by beating Benfica with a landslide score when playing at home.

I also think Real Madrid has a great potential to win the upcoming match against Benfica because the Real Madrid players certainly don't want to disappoint their fans. Also, judging by the match against Benfica, Real Madrid lost tactically. However, considering the last match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, Real Madrid performed well, so I also think Real Madrid will definitely be able to win against Benfica in the upcoming match.

Real Madrid does need a strong defense because Benfica certainly has a strong attack. As the host, Benfica will certainly be enthusiastic in the first leg. I think it won't be easy for Real Madrid to win. Although it won't be easy for Real Madrid, I also think Real Madrid has a great potential to win against Benfica. I think the score is 3-2 for Real Madrid. I hope I can win in that match when betting. Now I'm also curious about Arbeloa's strategy. If, for example, Real Madrid wins in the first leg, then it will definitely be easier for Real Madrid to beat Benfica in the second leg. We'll just have to see what happens later.

It's a very big shame to Juventus that we are having this type of conversation, if they can progress to the round of the uefa champions league, by beating Galatasaray.
This shows how they have regress over the years, because If it was the old lady of Juventus I used to know, like in the days of Bonucci, chilienni and Diabala, Galatasaray would have been no match to that Juventus team over both legs, but as it stands now, Galatasaray is even more formidable than Juventus, what a shame. I wouldn't be speculating much, but I am confident in Galatasaray beating and knocking out this Juventus team over both legs, considering their form and quality of players.

[Tamaperdana]

Dortmund better wins their home game today in a convincing fashion. If they just win by one goal or even draw I think that's it for them, end of the line. Somehow I have the feeling they will not be in the position to win in Bergamo. Of coure they can surprise me, as they sometimes do, but I am so used of being disappointed, so I always expect the worst, hahaha.
Anyway, the draw of course is not THAT strong, but Italian defenses are never easy to overcome.

Yes,, this is a home match for Dortmund, so they definitely have to win this match if they want to have a big chance of qualifying for the round of 16. Because if Dortmund can't win this match, it will definitely be much more difficult in the second leg, because the second leg will be held at Atalanta's headquarters,, so the pressure will definitely be much greater for Dortmund.

But even so,, for some reason, right now I'm really not too sure about Dortmund's performance, because even though in the previous season their performance was quite good in the Champions League, but this season Dortmund has really experienced a significant decline. So that's why in this match I think I will bet on Atalanta. Because I think betting on Atalanta is better for now. But this may be risky, but I have made up my mind to bet on Atalanta.

It would be very interesting to see Benfica beat Real again. But I think Madrid will still win. Real are Real — they can lose, but they know how to win. Despite the loss in the previous meeting, Los Blancos have drawn conclusions from that match and are already preparing for victory. So definitely, Real will win.

Yeah you are right, Galatasaray will want to use their home advantage for this match. Normally Juventus aren't doing well enough this season, it won't be surprising if Galatasaray knocked them out. But still Juventus could have the upper hand base on their squad. Then let me say my predictions for today's match....Benfica vs Madrid , the best game to watch today. I think Real Madrid will want to approach this game differently unlike when they faced each other last. But we know how benfica is , they are a goal scoring team , today match might end up in draw. But still Madrid are favorite to qualify. Then PSG will surely beat Monaco home and away , there's no debate there.

[dollyamo]

They have experience in champions league, but if they don't have good players and experience coach, they cannot keep the record they have been keeping before, I believe the match will end in draw and Benfica may even end up winning them again. I know the match will not be an easy one for Benfica and it will not be an easy one also for Real Madrid. I cannot wait to watch the match and see how Real Madrid we doing in that match.

Real Madrid can definitely handle the playoffs better than other teams, I'm sure. How can they handle the pressure of now being first in La Liga, having overtaken Barcelona due to a mistake by Barcelona themselves?
So I'm confident that they'll be able to manage the match and emotions against Benfica in this case too.

Galatasaray will play a very important match against Juventus today. With the support of their fans, I think Galatasaray will win, but I've noticed the ticket prices are very high. The cheapest ticket is 8000 TL. This is quite a high price, and perhaps these high ticket prices could affect the number of spectators in the stadium. Although Juventus have been playing good football in recent matches, I don't think they will beat Galatasaray in this game.

I don't know who will advance to the next round, but I think Galatasaray will win today's match.

Galatasaray is very strong at home especially when playing against another European team in the champions league and I think for this singular reason they will really have the upper hand in this first leg encounter with Juventus at Istanbul. For sure they will have the crowd in their favour even though the tickets price looks high, Juventus might struggle a bit In Turkey and Galatasaray needs to take their chances to secure a very good win in this first leg encounter before heading to Italy for the return leg. Galatasaray have spent quite some money to bring in some good players like Osimehn and co, and they have really dominated the local league just like juventus did previous seasons in Italy too, this encounter is even more interesting knowing that Galatasaray star man victor Osimhen is going to face his former coach Luciano spaletti whom he won the Italian serie a with during their days at Napoli.
