UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Sorloth scored a hat trick in today's match against Club Brugge. He was always able to take advantage of opportunities well and Cardoso also scored a good goal against Club Brugge, which ultimately led to Club Brugge not being able to win. Because Club Brugge could only score through Ordonez. Now Atletico Madrid has won with a score of 4-1. I thought the score of this match would be 3-2, but it turned out that Atletico Madrid appeared very confident and always full of calculations which made him finally able to win in that match. Diego Simeone in my opinion made a good strategy which ultimately made it difficult for Club Brugge to score many goals against Atletico Madrid. Now Atletico Madrid has qualified for the last 16, but it seems that not a few people thought this would happen because Atletico Madrid has a stronger squad than Club Brugge. Diego must definitely prepare a better strategy for the match in the last 16.

Sorloth could have scored a fourth goal if his teammate had passed to him in the final minute. He had a magnificent game and was man of the match with his three goals. It was a great victory for Atletico Madrid, and we expected them to win like this in Spain. Now it's time for them to wait for their opponents in the Champions League. After today's matches, the teams that advance in the Champions League will be determined and the pairings will be announced. Atletico Madrid still has a high chance of reaching the semi-finals.

My prediction was that Inter Milan would not lose at home. The match will be at least a draw. But my assumption was wrong. As usual, Inter Milan was defeated in the home match as well as the away match.

Inter Milan lost this match because of their match strategy. I Bolo bodo/Glimt's descent strategy is why Inter Milan lost. Milan players tried a lot to score. They played aggressively in the entire match. They also made many attacks. But still could not score more than one goal. On the other hand, they conceded two goals.



Inter Milan players made 33 shots. They have 70% possession of the ball. Inter Milan players completely dominated the match. But even then the team managed to score only one goal. And Milan was eliminated from the Champions League from the playoffs.

[cande86]

Newcastle started the match very quickly again. They are 2-0 up with goals in the 5th and 6th minutes, and it's currently the 15th minute.
Newcastle might try to break the goal record. I think it was in 2007, Liverpool beat Be?ikta? 8-0. Perhaps Newcastle wants to surpass that record. The way the match is going gives me the impression that a goal record is possible.

Newcastle could surprisingly overtake if the other teams in front don't win and things are going particularly well, i have to say that this team can try to go to the top of the table and i think they can succeed, all in all they are a good team that can definitely win

[MK-74]

Anyway, there's nothing to be done now, last year's finalist, Inter, has been eliminated early. If Atalanta and Juve are also eliminated today, there won't be any Italian teams left in the competition.

This year, the Italian teams were eliminated very early in the Champions League.
Juventus and Atalanta need to pull off a huge surprise tonight to continue in the Champions League, but I don’t think they will manage to do so.
Juventus cannot beat Galatasaray by a four goal margin. I also don’t think Atalanta can score three goals against Borussia Dortmund. For these reasons, all the Italian teams will likely be eliminated today.

[verdinio]

Like for example Galatasaray shocked the world when they won 5-2, that's true that Juventus should have played better, however I do not think Galatasaray will play the same on this game, they even lost their league game, so we could expect them to lose with small margins and still continue, because even a 2-0 loss would mean they can go further. Many games like that will probably happen.

Who are the return matches more difficult for? Certainly not for teams that have won, they have performed really well, and this must be said, against the Italian teams they all played excellent football, Galatasaray despite not being a first division team dominated Juventus, the same thing happened with Bodo against Inter.

[Uhde]

I honestly never saw this coming from the beginning because when they were paired against each other from the very beginning, I thought that inter milan was going to win them and qualify to the next round of the competition regardless of the good results this bodo/Glimt team have gotten in their past few games in the uefa champions league, and the most shocking of them all was yesterday final results because since inter milan lost 3-1 in the first leg, I thought that they will do everything in their power to at least win this bodo/Glimt team even though they eventually get knockout, but to my surprise, they still lost the game at the san siro, what a shame. This returns leg proves that Bodo team is very deserving of their place in the round of 16 that they just qualify for, kudos to them for knocking out last year finalist out of the competition.

Honestly, I've been saying this for a long time, Inter are just focusing on the league, they can't compete beyond that.
Now that he's clearly proven it, I think even his black and blue fan friends are convinced. It's a team that promises a lot and actually has the foundation to be a great team, but you never understand why at times it plays to make the pitch shake, at other times it plays to make you laugh.
Anyway the only thing they can get is Serie A this season.

i totally forgot to follow the match i only remembered when I hopped on the forum. just checked the stats and... what on earth are these really? Inter had 5 times the shots, 2.5 times the passes, and 16 corners. if a team can only squeeze out one goal from all that, they deserve to be knocked out anyway.

[MinMan]

I really wonder what's happening with Inter right now. Despite all those attempts they couldn't score a single goal for 60 minutes. And now they have got 1-0 behind at Giuseppe Meazza.

I thought they would win comfortably tonight by a gap like at least 3 goals in regular time. This is a very shocking score to see and an insane work by Bodø/Glimt. They are getting closer to eliminate one of the finalists of the previous season.

Honestly, i really didn’t believe Inter would go out. It just felt almost impossible. Of course, Bodo played two amazing games, no doubt about that, but Inter definitely should’ve put up a much stronger fight.Losing at home in front of their own fans and getting knocked out of the UCL they were talking about so much… that’s tough. The bookmakers had them as clear favorites too , the odds were around 1.70 for Inter to go through.If nothing else, at least now they can fully focus on the Scudetto, which is almost within reach

In last five game of Champions League, they are undefeated with beating Manchester City, Atlético Madrid and having draw against Borussia Dortmund mean things were already set for having performance and results like these.

In first leg, they scored 3 goals which were impressive while things have never been easy for them in second leg, but their strategy works, and they keep holding Inter Milan that completely failed to score goals in first half despite having too many chances. This win could be giving them good confidence for their upcoming games in round of 16, hopefully they are able to write new chapters in their own history with having good results.

This level at which Series A teams play in this season champions League is very poor. Even their league champions Napoli were eliminated at the group stages. Now the remaining 3 lost their first leg game games by 2 to 3 goals difference. Inter millan that I feel will make a comeback was also poor , Bodo Glimt played them. Imagine last season champions League finalist who was disgraced by PSG was eliminated at the round of 16. There's no way Juventus will score goals that Galatasaray won't score back. They are defensively good enough to keep clean sheets. As for Atalanta too their chances of winning is also not likely going to be possible.

Inter Milan controlled the match, created many opportunities, made many shots but it's not a good day for them. Throughout this season so far, Inter Milan have very strong attacks and already scored many goals but in two playoff matches with Bodo/Glimt, their players lacked of enough accuracy and wasted many opportunities. They did not score an early goal in this match and later Akanji made a terrible defense mistake that almost eliminated Inter Milan.

Bodo/Glimt with this match shows that they have good quality, strong mentality and can perform well when playing home away, and their strength can be shown well not only at their home stadium.

Sorloth scored a hat trick in today's match against Club Brugge. He was always able to take advantage of opportunities well and Cardoso also scored a good goal against Club Brugge, which ultimately led to Club Brugge not being able to win.

Atletico Madrid faced with risk of elimination in Champions League but they did their jobs better than Inter Milan. Sorloth had an amazing individual performance for Atletico Madrid and rescued them after a defeat in a first leg. With him, Norway will be a very interesting underdog in World Cup 2026 next summer, as that national team will have to world class strikers, Sorloth and Haaland. How Norway got a first position in a group with Italy and won two direct matches against Italy already shown their good quality.

This year is probably not going to be very successful for Italian teams. Both teams playing today are highly likely to be eliminated. Galatasaray will likely maintain their advantageous score against Juventus. Similarly, Atalanta is unlikely to be able to close a two-goal gap. Dortmund is also doing very well in Germany this year. It's turning out to be a bad Champions League year for Italian teams. They will probably all focus entirely on the Serie A competition now.

[giorgione]

Although, this is the game of football and no matter how big of a team you are, you’ll face losses at some point from big or small teams. I am amazed by their performance tonight and I will say they need to be commended and worthy of being in this competition onto the next round.

Football has changed a lot and everything seems to have taken a very different turn compared to everything that was once a certainty, teams that are no longer able to do more than what previously seemed obvious, modern football has changed laws and rules that were previously obvious in some ways better this way, the air of change can be felt

Bodo/Glimt with this match shows that they have good quality, strong mentality and can perform well when playing home away, and their strength can be shown well not only at their home stadium.

Bodø/Glimt are definitely the dark horse of this Champions League campaign. They’ve repeatedly shown how well they can play against strong teams and they proved it again against Inter Milan. I thought Inter would manage to score in the first half, because they basically spent the entire half in Bodø/Glimt’s penalty area. But Bodø/Glimt held, wore Inter down, and then scored two goals at the beginning of the second half. In fact, after the first goal it was already clear that Inter’s Champions League run was over. Well, we’ll see how far Bodø/Glimt can go in the playoffs, with this kind of performance, I think they have quite a decent chance.

Initially I thought Inter Milan has learn something from their past defeat and they would win or draw the match at san siro instead of securing full three points they won ball possessions and shots. Inter milan had opportunities that could've been goals bit despite the shots at bodo glimt they could only score one goal. Bodo glimt deserve the win because despite only 7 shots and 3 big chances they had still able to beat inter milan at san siro. Bodo glimt deserve a worthy competitor like arsenal in the UEFA champions league.

[Alpha Marine]

Madrid needs to be careful not to suffer what happened to Inter. They have a one-goal advantage, but they should know that it's not a lot. They will be without Mbappe today, and even though a lot of people might believe it's for the best, it could be a disadvantage if they don't play as a team
Madrid plays with individual quality, and a quality like Mbappe is needed in that kind of football. He is their best goal scorer, and I have a feeling they will need that.

Now Atletico Madrid has won with a score of 4-1. I thought the score of this match would be 3-2, but it turned out that Atletico Madrid appeared very confident and always full of calculations which made him finally able to win in that match.

I predicted a 3-1 correct score in favour of Atleti, and I even staked on it, but I lost by just one goal. Sorloth chose the wrong time to score a hat trick. Congratulations to him anyway.

[banana33]

The game will be one interesting game, Juve fans will be hoping for a miracle comeback win. While we anticipate a lot of goals it might not be the case tonight with either teams trying to defend even Juventus in order not to concede more and get more desperate while Galatasaray definitely will be coming to this game with ease to defend and capitalize on every opportunity with their fine attack.

I don't think Juventus will be able to advance, Galatasaray have a better chance.
We can see it from the numbers and the completely different style of play, Juventus plays conservatively, Galatasaray is very aggressive on the pitch, putting pressure on their opponents.
Juve fans can hope for a miraculous victory, but i wouldn't have all these expectations, it's still a match to watch.

Everyone in Turkey will be watching this match. Galatasaray, who played brilliantly in the first leg, are very close to reaching the last 16. Juventus will have to take a lot of risks in this match. Otherwise, they won't achieve what they want. They need to score at least three goals and not concede any for the match to go to extra time. If they want to win, they need to win by a margin of four goals. If that happens, it will be a historic night for Juventus. However, right now, the most logical scenario is that Galatasaray will advance to the next round with the result of this match.

It's funny how I hoped Inter would be able to turn the game around in their favor because of home advantage but it's clear that they've not got it takes to withstand the pressure of the UCL this season. Most times it's teams no one expects that usually come and go the damage. I knew that Bodo Glimt would be a stubborn club but I didn't expect them to be able to beat Inter home and away. What an embarrassing display for Inter and now with their knockout from UCL competition, they might turn all their energy into winning the Serie A. I just hope they don't tank that one too.

At first I thought that I and you Inter should win because they are playing at home and lost the first leg, but I also realized that Bodø/Glimt are currently on fire after beating some great teams so we can't blame Inter Milan. Honestly, I'm really curious to see Bodø/Glimt's performance in the next match, can they make a surprise this season? you must know which teams have been defeated, yeah, those are the top  teams in Europa Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. Serie A still has two more teams playing tomorrow. Will these Serie A teams be eliminated again? Let's wait and see.

As it stands now, there's no assurance that Juventus can do anything today when they meet Galatasaray because the Turkish giants ensured that they cemented their dominance in the first leg. A team that lost 5-2 in the first leg would only pray that if they score 3 goals, their opponents don't respond and that would be quite difficult especially with the fact that Galatasaray are very hungry to go far in this tournament since the last one didn't find them lucky. So it's safe to say that we might see another Italian club being booted out of the competition, maybe two, if Atalanta can't come back from their oppressing defeat to Dortmund.

[changaa]

Sorloth gives Atletico the lead on the 27th minutes of the game to break the deadlock. It's was an unbelievable goal because Brugga goalie was supposed to stop that ball. However, if everyone is perfect, we wouldn't always get a winner. Club Brugga is equal to the task of getting an equalizer because they are of the same level with Atletico in their performance tonight. Though, Atletico is dominating the game. The scoreline is 1-0.

I really enjoyed this match, Atletico put on a show Sorloth scored 3 goals.
From statistics, Brugge played better, had greater possession of the ball, and more passes.
Atletico were like a sniper, fewer passes less possession, but they used every moment to give Sorloth a chance to score.
They played a good strategic game.

[SFR10]

no team should be underrated anymore as long as they made it to the round of 16 and I imagine Monaco doing the same to PSG, that's if they can manage up and beat the Ligue 1 champions.

You have a point and I'd love to see PSG getting eliminated, but considering that Monaco has a lot of missing players due to injuries and suspension, I have a feeling PSG is going to demolish them in the return leg ^{[if they were a bit more clinical in the first leg, they would've done it already]}, so I'm going for a PSG win as the safest bet ^{[BTTS/over 3.5 could also be good]}.
