UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[pewboy]

Galatasaray players are very confident in  today's home match. They equalized the match just  4 minutes into the second half with Noa lang. galatasaray was able to take the lead with sanchez's goal in the  60th minute. galatasaray will win or draw in the match. Juventus's chance of winning is very low. Galatasaray is playing very well. And they are dominating the match.

Juventus took a heavy blow, they had started more or less on the right foot, at first it seemed like an entertaining match.
In fact it wasn't boring but still seeing Juve lose ruinously was practically humiliated.
Galatasaray played well and none of us can say otherwise about that, are new hopes being raised for the next match?

[Stavri]

The second leg will determine whether Galatasaray will advance to the next round. Galatasaray have strengthened their squad with more players, so I don’t think they will concede unnecessary goals as they did last season. However, Galatasaray lacks what it takes to be a threat to any team in the Champions League, it will be difficult to see them in the final, despite the face that football is unpredictable.

Juventus cannot do anything again in the second leg because galatasaray has proven to be a better team than them. The only way juventus could make it out of the playoffs is if they can be able to score many goals and maintain a clean sheet against galatasaray in the second leg but I don't see that happening because galatasaray will strengthen their defense and they will definitely score against Juventus.

Galatasaray is going in with a huge advantage from the first leg for sure. but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a walk in the park. if Spalletti plays a bold game, they could even put five past them. GS is a team that tends to crumble easily away from home. They need to step onto the pitch with total focus.

Lol Otamendi showing Vini Jr the World Cup, this match was something else and I enjoyed every minute of the match Real Madrid deserved that win and what a wonderful goal from vini junior, I believe that was the reason Otamendi had to show him that he has lifted the World Cup before, why vini has not done that before, but that don’t really mean anything because vini junior is far better than him and has achieved popularity through his good performances and today he helped Real Madrid to win.
I no that Nicolás Otamendi did that out of frustration of losing

Benfica mental state was shattered because they couldn't score and Otamendi was so frustrated that he made a joke that basically had nothing to do with the UCL because it was a trophy tattoo in a different competition. This kind of mental pressure shows that Benfica forgot that they were facing Real Madrid. One more thing racism must be condemned, regardless of Vini provocation because in football it is okay but racism is definitely something that is forbidden.

Since the red card Juventus game changed drastically and required them to defend more. Therefore there was no more offense to match Galatasaray and they ended up controlling the game until the end. If Juan Cabal hadn't gotten the red card, I think the result would have been different and Juventus would have had a chance to win.

[knowngunman]

No one believes that the game between Galatasaray vs Juventus will be full of goals, I thought it might end draw like 1-1 or 2-2 but at the end Galatasaray beat Juventus with 5 goals to 2, Juventus was leading in the game and at the end they conceded many goals, Juventus coach should have not make any substitution because for me he made a mistake by doing so, the player he brought on is the same player that was sent off, everything looks like Galatasaray have qualified for the next round because they are leading with 3 goals and the second round will not be an easy match because Galatasaray will not let them loss to a team that they are leading with 3 goals.

Juventus performance in Europe competition is not the same as it is in the local league and it doesn't matter who the opponent is. It's high time they accept the fact that they are simply inferior in Europe competition. Their first half performance was a bit great but I don't easily believe on first impression in football until the final whistle is blown. Assuming Juventus played in the second half the same way they played in the first half, we'll be talking about different thing now but sadly the second half was a complete breakdown and they were unwatchable. The score is not that heavy to turn around in the return leg but can Juventus turn things around? We've seen many instances like this where the losing team turn things around in the second leg even with a score much more than three goals.

[KTChampions]

In the first half, Juventus played well and outperformed Galatasaray by scoring more goals. Unfortunately, in the second half, Juventus was unable to keep up with Galatasaray's excellent play, and ultimately Juventus was unable to score any more goals, while Galatasaray scored many goals in the second half. The match ended with a score of 5-2. In my opinion, this is a good result for Galatasaray because by scoring many goals in the first leg, they will be more relaxed in the second leg, as the goal difference between Galatasaray and Juventus is quite significant.

In the second leg, we don't know whether Galatasaray or Juventus will win, as Juventus' strength could change in the second leg. However, in my opinion, Galatasaray will win again in the second leg and ultimately advance to the Round of 16.

Before the first game, bookmakers rated Juventus' chances of qualifying at 1.25, but now they have fallen to 4.30. Galatasaray's odds are rated at 1.18, which is hard to argue with, as getting a 3-goal lead is not easy against any opponent. Juventus's odds for the return match are quoted at 1.44 and I think I see value in this bet. Juventus will most likely win, but it will be something like 2-1, more likely 1-0. Galatasaray have done the main job now they just need to maintain their lead.

Racism in 2026 is more than stupidity now. Fifa should act now and deduct points from clubs who carry out these acts at the same time fine them heavily.
Otamendi amd the jersey number 25 players are hell disgusting, this is old news though, we've always known Argentines to be off that nature. Football is played for passion and if they don't like him dancing, they can do well to ignore. Thanks to Kylian Mbappe and Arnold who defended Vinicius Jr on the pitch likewise.

The first half of this match was very exciting with both teams attacking each other intensely to create chances and even capitalize on them well. Juventus conceded a goal early on then soon after they managed to equalize and even took the lead in the first half with another goal. The first half was still exciting to watch. But in the second half Galatasaray managed to create great opportunities to score many goals. And Juventus' position which was far behind in terms of goal margin made them put more pressure on Galatasaray with a slightly rough style of play. It seemed that Juventus really lost confidence in the second half, where they made many mistakes in their defense. However Galatasaray's performance in this match was impressive by securing a victory as they fought hard against a big team like Juventus. I personally believe that many people did not expect this result. And I think this is a nightmare for Spalletti considering that this match was his reunion with Osimhen. I'm not sure Juventus can bounce back in the second leg.

GS is a team that tends to crumble easily away from home. They need to step onto the pitch with total focus.

Galatasaray have really shown a very great performance in the first leg of their champions league playoff games, and I really commend their efforts and how they put into good use their chances and converted them to many goals. The goal difference will really help them in the second leg, but they need to actually stay at the top and make sure that they are willing to be undefeated in the second leg.

Juventus will come at them more in this second leg, but what they need to do is to actually not stay loss and defend their goals in the second leg. Even if they can’t win Juventus in the second leg, they should be able to make them not score more goals that will make them be at advantage against them. The second leg is going to be a more tougher one than the first leg, let’s just wait and see how things become of them in this game, if they can get to be promoted to the next round of the competition.

One more thing racism must be condemned, regardless of Vini provocation because in football it is okay but racism is definitely something that is forbidden.

In football every player wants to have something to be proud about against his opponent and it happened that in this UCL meeting between Benfica and Real Madrid, the home side couldn't execute their expectations as a home team and got frustrated by the class of the visiting team Real Madrid.

The World Cup tattoo show off from Otamendi is just to remind Vinicius that despite you're having the win tonight I still have what you don't have. Which obviously I do agree that it doesn't relate in any form with the UCL competition. Real Madrid would be playing host in the second leg, I wonder what fate Benfica would face at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

[dollyamo]

In my opinion, PSG will be the favorite team even though they are playing at Monaco headquarters, the reason is because in their last 5 H2H matches, PSG has managed to win 3 times, draw 1 time, and lose 1 time. In addition, PSG is also highly motivated to win this match due to its status as the defending champion. Monaco performance has also been inconsistent lately, in their last 5 games in all competitions, they have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

A boring game, Real Madrid finally managed to take home the victory.
I thought it would be one of the most interesting matches to watch, hoping for several plays and at least 3 or 4 goals, but instead it wasn't exciting.
I almost liked the Galatasaray one better, which truly gave everyone a spectacle of football, both to their fans and to football fans.

Juventus started well, performing quite aggressively in the first half of the game, but after the break, Juventus became completely weak and failed to resist the attacks. In the hall, the opposing team got more opportunities and Galatasaray added five goals to the total scoreboard. In a moment, a huge gap was created and one of the players of Yuvraj's team was sent off after receiving a red card. In the hall, Juventus could not defend themselves anymore, so they were forced to lose the game by a large margin.

I agree with you, that kind of thing shouldn't exist. Racism has no place in sports, and even less in football To me, they are very immature playersm Until FIFA severely punishes these types of players, they won't stop being so stupid Besides, it's an example that children are seeing that kind of behavior is very childish and makes no sense.

The two minutes of added time were a stroke of luck for Juventus. If there had been more added time, Juventus might have conceded another goal. Galatasaray played like Champions League winners in the second half of this match. Juventus' defense was torn apart. Galatasaray goes into the return match in Italy with a huge advantage, but they absolutely must play with the best possible defense, otherwise the dangerous Italian team could win the match convincingly. Galatasaray's weakest area is their defense, so the defenders will have an extra responsibility in the Italian match.

In the second leg of this clash, all Galatasaray needs to do is to make sure that they defend as much as they can, because Juventus is coming back on them ruthlessly and will make sure they get an edge over them in the second leg of the match. Galatasaray had the chance and they got to make it through with as much goals as they can generally. This will be a very important match to actually anticipate for, they’re really going to come hard on them and they need to defend those goals because they’re already at a very big advantage now. Juventus will not lose hope easily, some teams use to be four goals down in their first leg matches and will get back on track again and get to prevail ahead even after losing big in the first match, I’m looking forward to this match in particular on how the second leg is going to be.

The second leg is going to be a more tougher one than the first leg, let’s just wait and see how things become of them in this game, if they can get to be promoted to the next round of the competition.

Exactly. what I mean is, it's not over yet. Juventus has reached 7 finals and won 2 trophies. it wouldn't be a surprise for them to beat any Champions League team 3-0 or 4-0. if Galatasaray doesn't approach the second leg with the same level of seriousness and a much tighter game plan we could be in for a surprise.

The second leg will determine whether Galatasaray will advance to the next round. Galatasaray have strengthened their squad with more players, so I don’t think they will concede unnecessary goals as they did last season. However, Galatasaray lacks what it takes to be a threat to any team in the Champions League, it will be difficult to see them in the final, despite the face that football is unpredictable.

Juventus cannot do anything again in the second leg because galatasaray has proven to be a better team than them. The only way juventus could make it out of the playoffs is if they can be able to score many goals and maintain a clean sheet against galatasaray in the second leg but I don't see that happening because galatasaray will strengthen their defense and they will definitely score against Juventus.

I guess that red card caused Juventus not to equalize the goals, because Galatasaray took advantage of the red card to make their defenders stronger for their strikers to secure more goals which they did to secured 5 goals for the first leg to beat Juventus. Will it be possible for Juventus to equalize those goals in the second leg? I don't think such miracle will happen for Juventus in the second leg, because Galatasaray will still prepare themselves to make their defenders stronger than their first leg so that even though they draw 1:1 in the second leg game it will give Galatasaray opportunity to move to their next level.


If you use to follow Juventus in the Italian league and this UEFA champion league, you will agree with me that Juventus performance has dropped, because they performed more than what people are seeing from Juventus in this season.

I no that Nicolás Otamendi did that out of frustration of losing

The frustration was on Benfica side. Jose Mourinho have to get the taste of his own medicine. Vinicius over there cant stop trolling the Benfica captain which propelled him to show his World Cup title, something Vinicius can never get before his career is over.

Football bantering is not who is better individually. It is what have you won. Vinicius have UCL trophy that Otamendi dont have. Otamendi have a World Cup trophy. Both of them has something special in their cabinet.

[pewboy]

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.

We can't look at the past, we look at the present and it's right that we have to congratulate Galatasaray, they played much better than Juventus.

On the pitch, the player who plays best wins and, above all, adopts a winning strategy by observing the opponent's weaknesses.
Juventus had their golden years with star players in the squad, but good weather and bad weather don't always last.

It's not pleasant to see things like that in a match. Football is a sport that becomes more attractive with sportsmanship. However, all kinds of unsportsmanlike behavior, including racism, cast a shadow on the beauty of football. I think the clash between Vinicius and Otamendi was ugly. There's no need for that. If every player is judged by their individual achievements, Otamendi is one of the last people who should be talked about. Ronaldo doesn't have a World Cup title. Could Otamendi have shown him the same behavior?

This is a stupid thing that makes football a truly unbearable thing, this type of behavior is harmful, having reactions like those of these guys like Kylian Mbappe and Arnold is very beneficial to improve what happened, and not let it happen again, it seems incredible to me anyway that these types of problems exist
