UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Tamaperdana]

Atletico Madrid is not a bad team though, but we have been seeing it times without number that the level of inconsistency has been their major problem they are facing right now and this is something they need to resolve in the team. We will see them win a game and the next game come to lose which has been a terrible one for the team. I think the management of Simeone is over and they really need a new management system if they really want to progress in the team. They are big clubs but their performance is really really telling on them for this period.

Yes,, it's clear that Atletico isn't a bad team, as they currently have excellent players. But the problem is, as we know, Atletico's current coach no longer has a good strategy to make this team great. Therefore, I also agree with you that Simeone should be fired from the team immediately. After all, he has been given too much time with this team. But until now, Simeone has not been able to provide anything very good for Atletico Madrid. Therefore, I also hope that the Atletico Madrid management team will immediately make a statement regarding this.

Because currently,, with Atletico Madrid's poor performance, they could fail to advance to the round of 16. Because in the first leg, they could only manage a draw against Brugge, and that is clearly less than positive for Atletico Madrid. Because in the second leg, they clearly need to be able to play even better. With Atletico Madrid currently tied on aggregate with Brugge,, the second leg promises to be a truly heated affair. So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Yea, the match is gon be a tough match for both teams because there ain't gon be any surprises from Fenerbahce since Real Madrid knows that they're dangerous. Real Madrid will be on a special training to make sure that they eliminate Mourinho and his men from the Champions League. It's a game of survival of the fittest. Playing at home plus a goal ahead is a big advantage for Real Madrid.

You meant Benfica not Fenerbahçe and I apologize for the slight correction.

You're right as you said this match is a final for both teams. However Real Madrid has a slight advantage because they won the first meeting. This time they have the advantage again because they are the hosts. In my opinion for Jose Mourinho's team this is a very difficult match. This is due to the defeat in the first meeting which has shaken them a bit especially now that Real Madrid has found their best form. Benfica must really focus on this match which will be a deciding factor for both teams to advance to the next round.

Jose Mourinho will not be able to be on the sidelines in the second leg match, which will be a big advantage for Real Madrid, and I think the percentage is already quite high for Real Madrid to advance. They are leading by 1 goal on aggregate, and Real Madrid will also be playing at their home stadium, so I have no doubt that Real Madrid can advance. Most likely, Real Madrid will be able to win again, so I think this will no longer be a tense match for Real Madrid.

I also think Real Madrid will not lose this match at home and will win. Because they are very dangerous in every match they play at home in Spain. They are a magnificent team and they won the first match against Benfica. Everything indicates that they can get through this round. Real Madrid's chances of advancing in this tie are now very high.

Real Madrid won the first leg of the UCL very competitively so everything indicates that they will be able to pass this round but if you look at their current performance dynamics they are getting hampered several times. In fact yesterday Real Madrid lost against Osasuna in La Liga with a scoreline of 2:1, they did not have a significant attack in this match. At this stage you are right that this team is dangerous in every match they play at home in Spain but as far as I know Benfica manager Jose Mourinho knows Madrid's home ground very well so he may be able to guide his team's players well before the second leg of the upcoming UEFA Champions League play-off, that is, the next round of the UCL decider and it's correct Benfica will be able to show active aggression again against Madrid.

One thing I believe about this Real Madrid squad is that, they might lost to osasuna, yes and that is bad, but I still believe that they will get their win in the champions league, the second leg will not going to be an easy one for them though but I believe they will eventually get their win. The game against Osasuna, of which I watch, we can tell that, real Madrid were fully playing with fatigue all through that game. To me that is never the case for one of the best team in EUROPE, no matter what the case may be, they supposed to put up their best.

Winning against Barcelona 4-0 but then having these type of games is definitely showing how Atletico Madrid is a team that is not doing that well on consistency.

Club Brugge shouldn't have been a problem for them and yet they are still not doing that well, first game was a 3-3 tie, and now they are going to play at home so expectations for them to win this one is a lot higher, I think there is a good chance that they could do a lot of wonders, that should be something to care. I get that it's not an easy task yet, but it's still something quite good and I think it should be something to look out for.

With the Champions League match fast approaching, this defeat against Real Madrid looks set to be a major problem for them. However, for Benfica, this loss offers hope, as they believe Real Madrid can be beaten, even in Spain. Jose Mourinho knows Real Madrid and their stadium very well. They can prepare as best they can and perhaps even pull off a surprise, but if Real Madrid can solve their defensive problems, Benfica doesn't stand much of a chance.

[Hanadawa]

If Benfica could have beaten Real Madrid 4-2 like in the first leg, I might have been hopeful for the return match. However, they lost to Real Madrid in Portugal, and Real Madrid are a team that protects its advantage very well. Also, two of their players will be back on the field for the next match. Therefore, I think Real Madrid can eliminate Benfica in the playoffs by maintaining their score advantage. Hopefully, Benfica will give us a good match and at least show us their best performance.

I think Benfica's victory in the previous match was due not only to Mourinho's decisions but also to luck, as the Benfica goalkeeper was in the right position to score. I think it would be difficult for Benfica to beat Real Madrid after their victory in Portugal. It would have been different if the match had ended in a draw. Perhaps Benfica would have had a chance. I doubt Benfica can repeat the same miracle as before. Real Madrid will secure their victory at the Bernabeu and advance to the next round. Yes, Real Madrid will play more defensively because they already have a goal advantage. Having a one-goal lead against Portugal means Real Madrid are under absolutely no pressure in the second leg.

This will be very difficult for Benfica although there is still a possibility for them since currently Benfica is only trailing by 1 goal on aggregate. However, the second leg will be played at Real Madrid's home, which makes everything so difficult for Benfica, especially since the Benfica team will not be accompanied by their new coach Jose Mourinho after receiving a red card in the first leg match.

I believe even Benfica is aware how tough this fixture is likely to be for them, they are definitely not going to play regular, they will have to give their very best and nothing less of it, so a regular performance will not take them anywhere in this and they know too well, even Real Madrid that appears to have all the advantage I believe is also aware that for situations as this, only their best is what they will be needing to geta win in this game and that will definitely not come easy.

Atletico Madrid is not a bad team though, but we have been seeing it times without number that the level of inconsistency has been their major problem they are facing right now and this is something they need to resolve in the team. We will see them win a game and the next game come to lose which has been a terrible one for the team.

They are big clubs but their performance is really really telling on them for this period.

Yes,, it's clear that Atletico isn't a bad team, as they currently have excellent players. But the problem is, as we know, Atletico's current coach no longer has a good strategy to make this team great. Therefore, I also agree with you that Simeone should be fired from the team immediately. After all, he has been given too much time with this team. But until now, Simeone has not been able to provide anything very good for Atletico Madrid. Therefore, I also hope that the Atletico Madrid management team will immediately make a statement regarding this.

Because currently,, with Atletico Madrid's poor performance, they could fail to advance to the round of 16. Because in the first leg, they could only manage a draw against Brugge, and that is clearly less than positive for Atletico Madrid. Because in the second leg, they clearly need to be able to play even better. With Atletico Madrid currently tied on aggregate with Brugge,, the second leg promises to be a truly heated affair. So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Even with that poor result in the first leg against Club Brugge in Belgium Atletico Madrid still holds a slight advantage considering that the second leg would be played at Atletico's home in Spain, all they need to do is to ensure that they avoid conceding much goals so as not give any chance to the Belgian team, if Atletico aren't defensive minded in the second leg it might cost them their chance of qualifying for the next round because club brugge are capable of scoring multiple goals if given the chance due to their ability to create goal scoring chances.

So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

The first leg match was a home match of club brugge. Both teams  played well in this match and the  match ended 3-3 . Atletico madrid led 2 -0 at the end of the first half  but they could not win the match. So the second leg match will not be easy for them for sure. Club brugge is a strong opponent. So Atletico Mmadrid must play well if they want to win. If the performance is unstable, or if the defense is weak, Atlrtico madrid will not qualify for the round of 16 .

Benfica still has a chance to catch up. A 0 - 1 scoreline should be manageable, especially after Madrid lost Dean Huijsen, who played a crucial role in the first leg. Despite playing at Madrid home ground, I still believe the hosts will struggle to score many goals.

Even with that poor result in the first leg against Club Brugge in Belgium Atletico Madrid still holds a slight advantage considering that the second leg would be played at Atletico's home in Spain, all they need to do is to ensure that they avoid conceding much goals so as not give any chance to the Belgian team, if Atletico aren't defensive minded in the second leg it might cost them their chance of qualifying for the next round because club brugge are capable of scoring multiple goals if given the chance due to their ability to create goal scoring chances.

A draw is enough to give Atletico Madrid an advantage, as the second leg will be played at home, giving them a significant chance. Simeone in this case, will certainly not give Brugge too much space to score. After the tight first leg, this will undoubtedly be a lesson learned and they will need to strengthen their defense.

Club Brugge is certainly a tough opponent for Atletico Madrid because Club Brugge now has high confidence going into the second leg. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid cannot perform at their best, which has continuously been a problem for them. However, I am confident that if the Atletico Madrid team can play with their full strength, they will have a greater chance of winning in the second leg.

Benfica still has a chance to catch up. A 0 - 1 scoreline should be manageable, especially after Madrid lost Dean Huijsen, who played a crucial role in the first leg. Despite playing at Madrid home ground, I still believe the hosts will struggle to score many goals.

Mathematically they don't have a big disadvantage. But I would rather think reasonably and I don't see them having a high level of luck in the 2nd leg.

Bookmakers also think no different than me seemingly. 1.47 for Real Madrid to win in regular time. Moreover 1.06 for them to advance to last 16 while 8.20 given for Benfica to do so... 

A draw is enough to give Atletico Madrid an advantage, as the second leg will be played at home, giving them a significant chance. Simeone in this case, will certainly not give Brugge too much space to score. After the tight first leg, this will undoubtedly be a lesson learned and they will need to strengthen their defense.

I thought Atletico Madrid would win easily after seeing the 2-0 lead at first. But they struggled with defending a lot! This is like their summary of the season though. But I still expect them to win at home and eliminate Club Brugge.

They can prepare as best they can and perhaps even pull off a surprise, but if Real Madrid can solve their defensive problems, Benfica doesn't stand much of a chance.

Benfica is just an ordinary team real madrid can but which not the case but the problem with real madrid is that they defense is weak. Jose mourinho knows real madrid in and out but it didn't stop madrid from unleashing fury on his team in the first leg. In the first leg real madrid struggle to defeat benfica by 0-1 even with a weak defense. Another reason they lost to Levant was because of their weak defense so it would be difficult to defeat benfica with this weakness to especially as they are aware of it. If real madrid can make their defense stronger and increase attack I believe benfica would be eliminated.

Yea, the match is gon be a tough match for both teams because there ain't gon be any surprises from Fenerbahce since Real Madrid knows that they're dangerous. Real Madrid will be on a special training to make sure that they eliminate Mourinho and his men from the Champions League. It's a game of survival of the fittest. Playing at home plus a goal ahead is a big advantage for Real Madrid.

You meant Benfica not Fenerbahçe and I apologize for the slight correction.

You're right as you said this match is a final for both teams. However Real Madrid has a slight advantage because they won the first meeting. This time they have the advantage again because they are the hosts. In my opinion for Jose Mourinho's team this is a very difficult match. This is due to the defeat in the first meeting which has shaken them a bit especially now that Real Madrid has found their best form. Benfica must really focus on this match which will be a deciding factor for both teams to advance to the next round.

They are leading by 1 goal on aggregate, and Real Madrid will also be playing at their home stadium, so I have no doubt that Real Madrid can advance. Most likely, Real Madrid will be able to win again, so I think this will no longer be a tense match for Real Madrid.

I also think Real Madrid will not lose this match at home and will win. Because they are very dangerous in every match they play at home in Spain. They are a magnificent team and they won the first match against Benfica. Everything indicates that they can get through this round. Real Madrid's chances of advancing in this tie are now very high.

Real Madrid won the first leg of the UCL very competitively so everything indicates that they will be able to pass this round but if you look at their current performance dynamics they are getting hampered several times. In fact yesterday Real Madrid lost against Osasuna in La Liga with a scoreline of 2:1, they did not have a significant attack in this match. At this stage you are right that this team is dangerous in every match they play at home in Spain but as far as I know Benfica manager Jose Mourinho knows Madrid's home ground very well so he may be able to guide his team's players well before the second leg of the upcoming UEFA Champions League play-off, that is, the next round of the UCL decider and it's correct Benfica will be able to show active aggression again against Madrid.

One thing I believe about this Real Madrid squad is that, they might lost to osasuna, yes and that is bad, but I still believe that they will get their win in the champions league, the second leg will not going to be an easy one for them though but I believe they will eventually get their win. The game against Osasuna, of which I watch, we can tell that, real Madrid were fully playing with fatigue all through that game. To me that is never the case for one of the best team in EUROPE, no matter what the case may be, they supposed to put up their best.

Real Madrid must put their defeat to Osasuna behind them in order to focus and perform better in the second leg of the Champions League, as the second leg is crucial and will determine Real Madrid's progress in the Champions League. A 1-0 victory in the first leg isn't entirely secure for Real Madrid, as Benfica will be desperate to turn the game around. Therefore, Real Madrid can't afford to waste a golden opportunity to secure a victory in the second leg against Benfica, as they will be playing at home.
