UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Juicyhome]

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.

This game will be very tough for Real Madrid to win, Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach he knows how to stop Real Madrid because he won't like to lose in this game. Real Madrid has to play it like a final for them to scale through, they made a mistake in their previous game by losing to Benfica and they will pay dearly to it. Because the Jose Mourinho I know will pack the bus, he won't come out to attack today, he will play a tough defending game against Real Madrid. To me I don't see Real Madrid winning this game tonight.

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.

Arbeloa will not play the upcoming match with the same formation that Real Madrid used in their last defeat against Benfica. When they lost 4-2, Real Madrid used a 4-1-2-3 formation, so it is likely that Real Madrid will use a 4-3-3 or classic 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming match.
Real Madrid players must not let their emotions get the better of them due to the defeat against Benfica on January 29, as there were several strategic errors from Arbeloa, and Arbeloa already has experience in countering Jose Mourinho's tactics.

Nevertheless, I will only bet on BTTS.

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.

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.

Their current transfermarkt value is €560 million, while Galatasaray’s is €337 million. That’s a gap of nearly €250 million. even if Juventus isn't at its former peak, they have a truly excellent manager at the helm. Galatasaray's weakest link on the other hand is Okan Buruk. If Buruk sticks to his usual tactics keeping the defensive line high and starting with heavy pressure Juventus will likely find a goal in the first 15-20 minutes. and from there, they can control the game comfortably and return to Italy with a favorable result without breaking much of a sweat.

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.

For the fact that real Madrid have been inconsistent for some weeks now is never enough reasons to refer to them as a childish team compared to benfica, its true real Madrid where dismantled in a humiliating manner by benfica in there last game in 28 January 2026 in there first champions league meeting but that should never be a good reason to underestimate the power of real Madrid as they are still a better side favorable to go far in the champions league more than benfica as they are still a better side more than benfica in all rectifications right now

The same way I'm expecting Jose Mourinho to silence Real Madrid in today's match. I know Real Madrid are back to their winning ways because they have been doing very well in their home league, but I don't think this match will be easy for them. I'm expecting 50-50 chances in this game because it's going to be a challenging game for the both team. And one thing I like about Jose Mourinho he's a tactical coach with defensive minded which the same way Real Madrid struggled in his hand might possibly repeat itself today, because Jose Mourinho is a stubborn coach which I believe he'll prefer to defeat Real Madrid and won't mind to be eliminated after in the champions league race.

This game will be very tough for Real Madrid to win, Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach he knows how to stop Real Madrid because he won't like to lose in this game. Real Madrid has to play it like a final for them to scale through, they made a mistake in their previous game by losing to Benfica and they will pay dearly to it. Because the Jose Mourinho I know will pack the bus, he won't come out to attack today, he will play a tough defending game against Real Madrid. To me I don't see Real Madrid winning this game tonight.

It is going to be tough for real madrid because they are playing against jose mourinho team and he has coach real madrid in the past. Real madrid still has the upper hand in the match because of their experiences in the champions league. Although experience may not be enough defeat benfica but it would help the team when playing against benfica. In the previous game, benfica defeated real madrid at Lisbon. Real madrid still has problems with their defense, I see them struggling against benfica at lisbon.

Arbeloa will not play the upcoming match with the same formation that Real Madrid used in their last defeat against Benfica. When they lost 4-2, Real Madrid used a 4-1-2-3 formation, so it is likely that Real Madrid will use a 4-3-3 or classic 4-4-2 formation in the upcoming match.
Real Madrid players must not let their emotions get the better of them due to the defeat against Benfica on January 29, as there were several strategic errors from Arbeloa, and Arbeloa already has experience in countering Jose Mourinho's tactics.

Nevertheless, I will only bet on BTTS.

Last match in domestic league when defeating Real Sociedad, Arbeloa plying with the formation 4-3-1-2 but could change become 4-4-2 and flexible the formation of Arbeloa depend which one team face. I think against Benfica and Mourinho has tactical with defense its good formation if playing more offense than defense although last match facing Benfica have loss over 4-2.
Important match for Madrid if can secure first leg match will make easily for second leg, has good capital after winning two matches in a row at La Liga really optimistic Madrid will win the match.

Jose Mourinho is indeed a good coach, and Benfica just defeated Real Madrid in the last match. Initially, I was also confident that Benfica could do the same again, but gradually we can also see that Real Madrid's performance under Arbelo now is getting better, and in the Champions League competition, the Real Madrid team cannot be underestimated. That is what needs to be remembered in my opinion, and this will still be a tough match with both teams having an equal chance of winning.

It is going to be tough for real madrid because they are playing against jose mourinho team and he has coach real madrid in the past. Real madrid still has the upper hand in the match because of their experiences in the champions league. Although experience may not be enough defeat benfica but it would help the team when playing against benfica. In the previous game, benfica defeated real madrid at Lisbon. Real madrid still has problems with their defense, I see them struggling against benfica at lisbon.

Real Madrid may indeed have more experience in the UCL. but remember that this team is now coached by a new coach who does not have much experience in the UCL.

Meanwhile, Benfica may not be a team with a squad as deep as Real Madrid. But Benfica has the most experienced coach when it comes to the UCL. Even Jose Mourinho likely has enough insight to see Real Madrid's weaknesses. So the outcome of this match is truly difficult to predict.

The only match today that is likely easy to predict is Monaco vs. PSG, with PSG heavily favored.

Too many tight games tonight but I have to focus my attention on these two games the Benfica game against Madrid and the Monaco vs PSG, these two games looks like the finals in a different competition, the Monaco game is like a Ligue 1 fixture and I think it should be the most interesting game. For Benfica vs Madrid I would love to see what happened in the last league phase game where both teams gave their all to win that game but Benfica was victorious and they got the win in a big fashion where the goalkeeper scored the last goal, it was magical but tonight Madrid will keep a sharp eye to get the job done.

That last match was so dramatic I know for sure Madrid felt a bit embarrassed especially because of that sensational goal from the goal keeper!! Madrid will comeback with that vengeful mindset. The match will be a tough one for Benfica. For PSG vs Monaco, I don’t think it will be that much of a interesting on because they are practically neighbours so they both know what to expect.

Real Madrid aren’t the kind of team that keep repeating the same mistakes. In the match against Benfica they conceded too many goals. Now it seems to me that their defense has started to improve, so I expect them to score at least two goals against Benfica again, but concede far fewer this time. As for PSG, I also expect them not to lose to Monaco today, although Monaco have already beaten PSG at home this season in Liga 1.

Stake has Real Madrid at 2.24 and SL Benfica at 3.10. These are really good odds, if you are considering to place a bet in favor of Real Madrid. The match is scheduled to take place in Lisbon, so Benfica has the home advantage. Last time when these two teams met (28th January), Anatoliy Trubin (Benfica's goalkeeper) scored an unbelievable goal at 98th minute. This helped them to defeat Real by a margin of 4-2. Real had two of their guys (Raúl Asencio and Rodrygo) sent off. Memories will be fresh when these two teams meet again in less than three weeks.

The Madrid and Benfica game is one which most persons anticipate and we are very expectant of the game and it is almost no news that it is going  to be a tough one but the fixture between Galatasaray and Juventus is also another that is not spoken much about but I believe promises to be unpredictable due to the teams involved, Juventus is not a very stable side but Galatasaray is usually on the offensive and mostly want to score goal as often as they can, so here I do not really know what to expect but I believe this is going  to be another champions league fixture to look forward to today.

A game I can't wait to watch. Benfica has the home advantage here, they will surely win or draw this game, which I am very aware of. Real Madrid will have to prove me wrong today because I do not have any faith in them after losing to Benfica during the points stage. The problem here is that Benica players have confidence in themselves and in their coach, while Real Madrid are yet to figure out what they came to the Champions League to do this season.

[Volgastallion]

For today games iam expecting a surprise, i dont know from what game its gonna come but for me the two with more chances of making some noise are, Galatasaray and Benfica, both play against huge teams who are not in their best so they can take profit from it, the main problem with Benfica is i dont know if they can win back to back against Real Madrid after they last win.

[Jostern]

There is mouth watering games in the Champions League Today, and I’m wondering how I’m possibly going to share myself into multiple games that we have today, but unfortunately I can be able to watch all the games, but I would be focusing more on the games like Benfica vs Real Madrid, which would be a very interesting game of football, Jose Mourinho would be very desperate and eager to do the double standard against Real Madrid his old employers and it would definitely be a good and strong game, so let’s see what the both teams have to come up with.

Monaco Vs Paris Saint German is also going to be a very strong game, and I would really love to see what Luis Enrique and his boys comes up with, recently they have had some bad results and it now seems like there is a crisis in the team considering the statement of Ousmane Dembele and the Manager Luis Enrique, so I hope this will be resolved as soon as possible so they can focus on playing football.

However I’m expecting Real Madrid and Paris-Saint-German to play and win there game in there respective matches, I’m also expecting Juventus to beat Galatasaray.

[pewboy]

I'm rooting for Galatasaray in this match,, as it would be fantastic if Oshimen and his new team could go a little further in this competition. Honestly, I've been a little sympathetic to Oshimen since his troubles with Napoli. From that moment on,, I started supporting him, and I hope he can prove himself to be a great striker who can lead his team to great success.

I don't think Galatasaray will be decidedly superior, let's always remember that Juventus is a great team that can do a lot of positive things in attack, it's true that Galatasaray has built a good team and has done so by buying many strong players in attack, but that doesn't mean that it's always like this, Juventus is still a great team

[JeffBrad12]

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.

Both Real and Benfica stand the same chance. You can assume Real learned a lesson from the previous game, but don't you think Benfica does the same? It makes sense to expect a tough game for Madrid caused by they're gonna face a parking bus tactic by Mou.
Beside that if you have watched Madrid's game against Valencia. You might have seen if nothing improved from them. They're too reliant on the solo movement and very lack of working team. It puts me in a big doubt they can win the first leg. Unless, they come with different gameplay by putting a team working in above everything.

The game of football is mostly decided on the field of play, not past history or by living in the past. Yes it's true that Juventus is a club with rich history domestically and in euro but that's in the past, right now, they are no where near among the best teams around.
If you make a comparison like player to player, do you think that like five Juventus players can get into this Galatasaray team?
If we are going to be honest, I don't think so, because Juventus presently is not at the level they were a few years back, but am very certain that the game is going to be an interesting and entertaining games .
