UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

The most difficult match today will be that of Real Madrid and Benfica. The match will be very difficult for both teams, and I can’t really predict who will win the match because it will come with surprises, but for the fact that Benfica is going to Real Madrid home, I believe Real Madrid we have home advantage in winning the match and again Real Madrid is more inform.
But there’s a news that Kylian Mbappé will not be available for the match because of a knee injury which is very bad for Real Madrid however, even with this, I still believe Real Madrid has a lot of chance to win the match and if they don’t win the match it will be a shame to them.

So i predict the possible squad without Mbappe ( Courtois, Asencio, Trent, Rudiger, Carreras, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde Arda, Vini, Gonzalo).

By the way a home advantage basically gave nothing for Madrid. This is a very high tension game following the racism case happens recently. However, Madrid to miss Mbappe is a disaster. He has been the one who often carried the club when Vini showed abysmal performance.
Missing him obviously decreasing the power of their forwards. So i don't think they can score a lot in this game. They can still replace him with Gonzalo, but i'm doubting if it works.

So i'm not really in favor Madrid to win the game. If they do, it's probably due to their luck. they have only Vini to rely with, and i guess it's gonna be a one man show game. I have to decrease my expectation a half due to over Mbappe's injury.
I think i'd prefer to bet on BTTS. I believe both clubs are equal since Madrid lost Mbappe due to injury.

Today, Galatasaray has a Champions League match against Juventus, the first leg of which ended 5-2. This return match is important for Galatasaray because I think they will advance. Winning against Juventus in Italy would bring them prestige. Therefore, Galatasaray will field their best squad. I hope Galatasaray emerges victorious at the end of the match.

After this victory by Newcastle United, now all the English premier league teams that play in the Champions have qualified to the knockout stage, it is not easy, they have made EPL proud because only Newcastle United play in the playoff, and now they are also in the knockout stage. Congratulations to Newcastle United for making it to the round of 16; so let's see what they can do because I will be expecting Arsenal to win the competition among the EPL teams.

yes indeed the unpredictability of this thing is so strange, having the possibility to manage the situation in such delicate situations as a do or die match always becomes complicated, any Champions League group is the best of every championship, some teams don't have a chance.

This smaller teams in the Champions league leaves me with goosebumps. How they are able to fight in the game was unpredictable. The fact that bodoe/glimt knocked out Inter from the ucl yesterday is unbelievable. It gives me more courage to say benfica can do that also.  They have won Real Madrid once I think they can also do that again today. After all the aggregate score is yet 1:0. If Benfica win 0:2 today they are qualified.

I think Benfica is capable of another miracle, but they'll have to work hard to achieve it. Real Madrid continues to have poor games, so Benfica has a chance. Scoring a goal and playing well defensively is doable, but it would have been easier if they hadn't lost the first leg. I'd probably bet on a Benfica goal, but I'll watch the match and bet live when the odds are higher. I think Real Madrid won't let their chance slip away, but it wouldn't have been bad if Benfica had scored first in this match.

Real Madrid struggles to score goals when Mbappé isn't on the pitch. However, Gonzalo Garcia clearly steps up in some matches. Therefore, Real Madrid should hope the young player is having a good day. Mbappé's absence is a huge disadvantage for them, as he's their biggest contributor. He's perhaps the last person they want to see injured. He's a player whose place is very difficult to fill. Let's see if they'll miss him during the match tonight.

I was thinking inter Milan will come back in their second leg which was yesterday to win their opponent or better still equalize the aggregate so they can go to extra or penalty kick but they could not do it and Bodo Glimt still defeat them 1:2 in their home where they were supposed to be even stronger. However, Bodo Glimt winning inter Milan doesn't mean same will happen to Real Madrid though we don't know yet but Real Madrid is not ordinarily when we talk about champions league so they can surprise everyone but Benfica still remains a pain in the ass for them in their history.

[Italian Panic]

Hi you all guys!! This evening the big event is Real Madrid - Benfica, obviusly Real Madrid is the favourite but take attention to Benfica and the mental capabilities of Mourinho and the amazing Otamendi. In my opinion I say Real Madrid 60% and Benfica 40%, but only 'cause Real Madrid id Real Madrid.

In Turin there will be no history, For Juventus is a very bad moment and I think Galatasaray will win another match, probably 2-0.

In Paris I think PSG will heavely defeat Monaco and Atalanta will not defeat Borussia Dortmund

[boltz]

Yesterday it was Inter who went home ...today is time for Juventus and Atalanta to go home which will complete the full trifecta of Italy teams going home early. Now , is this normal ? For Juve and Atalanta I would say yes because they were playing poor football and I won't be surprised if both of them will lose today again.

I also don't have high hopes for Real Madrid either as this UCL season seems wild so far and I'm all for it.

Considering that Napoli also failed to qualify for the top 24, we can say that none of the Italian teams achieved their goals this year. Galatasaray from our country will want to protect the victory they achieved in the first match against Juventus. We won 5-2 and we will want to maintain that. However, considering the quality of Juventus' squad, this score shouldn't make us complacent. Juventus is a team that can widen the gap at any moment. They already showed this in the first match. They can score quickly with a few fast counter-attacks.

The case of Newcastle was already concluded in the first leg. The goal margin was too wide that Qarabag had nothing to do in the second leg except struggling for consolation goal. The round of 16 will come with another height of competition I hope they make through that round has well because it going to get tougher this time. Arsenal still has a long way to go. The stayed unbeaten throughout the first round I hope the keep up with that energy considering how inconsistent they can become at times. If they must make it to the final then every match at this point has to count.

In the first leg, Real Madrid defeated Benfica 1-0, with Vinicius Jr. scoring the only goal. Real Madrid struggled to score many goals, ultimately leading to a 1-0 victory for real Madrid

I'm currently having a hard time betting on the Real Madrid vs. Benfica second leg. However, my gut tells me Real Madrid will win. Benfica shouldn't be underestimated, as Mourinho will certainly devise a strategy that could overwhelm Real Madrid's players. I'd like to know your thoughts on this match: will you favor Real Madrid or Benfica in your bet? Since Real Madrid is the host, I think I'll favor Real Madrid to win, but I'll likely use a small stake because the match is very high-risk. However, if Real Madrid loses and fails to advance to the round of 16 it will definitely be a surprise, as Real Madrid is a team with many strong players and consistently performs well in the UCL

I personally had predicted that Bodo/Glimt would eliminate Inter from the Champions League. But I didn't expect Inter to suffer the same defeat as in the first leg. I thought Bodo/Glimt would play very defensively to maintain their aggregate lead. But they also played offensively which led to several goals that secured them another victory in the second leg. However Bodo/Glimt performed very well in both matches and even deserved to advance to the next phase. As for the second leg between Real Madrid and Benfica I personally believe that Madrid can eliminate Benfica. Mbappe is reportedly not going to play in this match due to a knee injury. But I believe that Vini's presence can still be relied upon to utilize the attack line to threaten Benfica just like in the first leg or even become a spearhead ready to be supported by his teammates. So I personally predict that Real Madrid will win the second leg or even eliminate Benfica. And I'm sure there are many people who are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this match.

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.

I expected more from Atletico Madrid who honestly i don't think are putting in one of their best performances ever, it's certainly much better that they secured the victory and that they are aware that they can do even more, but they are definitely out of the league in any case, they cant compete with the top two

They did what Inter failed to do, a team that's serious on qualifying from the playoffs doesn't take chances, they give their best to do better in all round Instead of conceding defeat in the opponents home and hoping to defeat them in the returning leg. 6 goals in the first leg was enough to qualify and just relax when they met yesterday. Arsenal on their own ends has proven that they're really prepared for the Champions League this season, only time can tell if they'll continue being consistent and make it to the final but I believe they'll get past the next round.

Inter Milan were not diplomatic at all, they went all attacks and forgot they needed to defend which led to the 2 goals they  conceded because their defense was disorganized since all their focus was more of attacking so that they can score many goals but Bodo/Glimt understood their formation and used it against them. Imagine 9 players attacking Bodo/Glimt so it literally mean that there was nobody in the defense which is why they were easy to be penetrated. I feel so sorry for Inter Milan because it shouldn't be teams like this that should have eliminated them from the Champions League games because it is really a shameful experience for them.

After having humiliating defeat at Aspmyra Stadion, Bodo Inter Milan have no choice to be playing diplomatic, they started aggressively and stay on same mode till conceded 2 goals in second half which gave them big setback and almost end of their journey in this season Champions League.

Bodo were in defensive mode from the beginning to till ending of the first half but in second half they have done good change and scored goals which increased their confidence and also put Inter Milan on back foot, their second half performance was amazing, this increased their chances for having spot into next round and dismantle Inter Milan in front of their fans.

For Juve and Atalanta I would say yes because they were playing poor football and I won't be surprised if both of them will lose today again.

It's quite unfortunate that Italian football is in serious decline and the Italian football federation are not doing anything about it, because how can we explain that all the teams that went to the uefa champions league, none of them was able get to the round of 16, that's shameful and regrettable considering how Italian teams has been proactive in the past in this competition, but the only good thing about this is that they will want to invest heavily on the Italian youth, because it's going to be beneficial to the Italian national team, but if they continue like this, they might not even qualify for the next world cup, which will be the fourth time they will be missing out in a row.

I also don't have high hopes for Real Madrid either as this UCL season seems wild so far and I'm all for it.  

Then talking about real madrid, their game against benfica is still very open because benfica can surprise them if they gives in a below standard performance, so they needs to be at their best to stand a chance of progressing to the next stage of the competition.

Inter's poor defeat against Bodo/Glimt eliminated them from the Champions League. This season's Inter team was quite optimistic that they might be able to qualify for the next round but there was not much excitement in their game. Last season, Inter did not perform as well as they did this season, they qualified for the final match but they did not imagine that they would be eliminated like this with a small team. Bodo/Glimt team is currently attacking quite strongly and they are playing with excitement as a Norwegian team and it is really interesting to see how Bodo/Glimt performed against the top team in Italy. Bodo/Glimt lost badly on their home field, and Inter also lost to them on their home field. Inter was quite optimistic that they might be able to take advantage of their home field and beat Bodo/Glimt team but they failed. Bodo/Glimt attacked so strongly on their home field that they beat Inter and qualified for the next round.
Inter's performance in the first and second legs was not very good. Their finishing line was weak and their defense was also weak, which led to them losing both matches.

Incredible, unbelievable. Inter Milan struggled at home until the final minute against Bodø/Glimt. lol
Bodø/Glimt is definitely the big surprise of this edition, sending Inter packing from the Champions League. They are from a town of only 50,000 people, and that makes it even better.
These youngsters are really something special; they are shaking up all the established order (City, Atlético, and Inter twice in a row). Bodø Glimt is putting Norway on the map again! They did it with a unique management model, but the journey wasn't easy. Their RO16 opponent has a 50% chance of being Man City. Will they shake up City again? Let's wait and see...

I hope Benfica doesn't win this guys with 2 goals to nothing or 3-1 later today. Mbape is already rule out for pains and minor injury, that alone send a bad signal. Considering the relationship between Benfica players and Real Madrid players especially after what went down last week will only pour spit on Real Madrid face because it's going to be funny after crying victim of racism onlh to be defeated by the same team you have complain about.

What Benfica did as a team was wrong, I can't believe even Mourihno that once coach Madrid was supporting nonsense but then I don't want to see Real Madrid lose this game. I have seen the speculated starter, I have also seen Benfica admin is going crazy with meme on their handles trying to play mind post for the fans, I hope it turn out well for Real Madrid, I'm only supporting them to win after what happened earlier otherwise I don't care who wins on this one.

Today, Galatasaray has a Champions League match against Juventus, the first leg of which ended 5-2. This return match is important for Galatasaray because I think they will advance. Winning against Juventus in Italy would bring them prestige. Therefore, Galatasaray will field their best squad. I hope Galatasaray emerges victorious at the end of the match.

With Galatasary recent form, I have no single sign of fear that they are advancing to the next stage. It doesn't matter whether they field their strongest squad or their weakest squad. The work is already done in the first leg and there is no way Juventus is turning things over with that scoreline. I will have different opinion if Juventus is at their peak but unfortunately Juventus is at their lowest and can not withstand Galatasary even though they are playing at home today. The only thing Juventus can do now is to concentrate on the local league and make sure they make a spot for the champions league next season and then try harder.
