UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Cossyblack]

Nothing to do Real Madrid still played a good game, first equalising two minutes after receiving the first goal and finally finishing the game in the second half.
They had a much more attacking game sending them under pressure, although in reality they had exactly 4 shots on target from both sides, for a total of 12 shots for Real Madrid and 8 for Benfica.
I liked the game overall.

Vinicus was the best player of the game,he stepped in when no one expected and saved real madrid from a 1-1 draw against benfica. Even in the first leg vinicus jr was the same player whose goal helped real madrid defeat benfica at the estadio da Luz. Vinicus jr is a great player and blessing to real madrid against benfica because if he hadn't been for those goals he scored real Madrid woldn't had beaten benfica twice.

Snip.

This season Inter is still in the following domestic competitions: Serie A and the Coppa Italia. So the coach and players could still finish the season with two titles, and that could give a good image of the coach and players to their fans. As for the Champions League, honestly I highly doubt that the fans, the Inter management, and even the players had any hope of winning it, because it's a difficult competition, especially in the current format.

Inter defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the two legs of the Champions League play-off round was Inter biggest failure this season, since the start of the competition, Inter performed optimally with 4 consecutive wins, after that their performance began to decline so that they failed to finish in the top 8. Now they must focus on domestic competition to win the title to atone for their mistakes and restore management's confidence in the coach's abilities.
Inter fate was very different from Atalanta. Palladino team managed to stage a convincing comeback in the second leg. A 4-1 victory was enough to secure their place in the round of 16, while Dortmund, who had performed optimally in the first leg, were defeated by Atalanta, ending their Champions League hopes. Surprises like this are very common in the best competitions in Europe, every team must be able to maintain their best performance if they want to stay in the competition.

I don't know of okan Boruk that much to start talking about him, but with what I saw yesterday from his Galatasaray team against a Juventus team that is a man down, he deserves to be sacked because that's not a manager that is going to win you a major trophy, since he will be choosing to defend against a team playing with a man down than going out to attack and kills the game off.
During the game I keep asking myself like what's wrong with Galatasaray that they were playing defensively against a team with a man down?
I think that they were just lucky that the quality in their team was just the shining light in the extra time that saves them, because it would have been disastrous if they were knockout by Juventus that is playing with a man down.

Sometimes we shouldn’t blame the coach too much, the players themselves were poor notwithstanding the tactics or strategy employed by the coach, they didn’t deliver as was expected. I don’t know if you watched Osimhen’s interview after the match, he made mention that some players were a bit shaky and he tried to motivate them to get them fired up for the game but it was not very successful, they were lucky to have progressed cos Juventus was the better side of the night, Scoring two goals after they were down to 10 men, that’s high laxity on Galatasaray side.

I agree, because this was tense game with Juventus is having good squad, they were playing at home still Galatasaray have reasonable performance in these conditions, they conceded 3 goals, it was big blow at this level but at the end, last laugh for them brought good end of this game.

While Juventus was down to 10 players, I was expecting some good aggressive approach from Galatasaray, but sadly they failed and conceded 2 goals even Old Lady lost too many chances, this also hurt them after having performance like this, Juventus surely deserved to be having spot into next round but extra time was joyful for the Turkish club as they scored 2 goals which handed them spot into next round.

Champions League is always never fails to give us the thrills, the drama and the premium entertainments.
Bodo/Glimt clutch performance in the champions league the best story so far, maybe because the players have enough time to rest and prepare themselves but nevertheless they did great.

Real Madrid finally had their revenge and the last laugh against Benfica.
Galatasaray was saved by the Victor Osimhen strike, Juventus tried but it wasn’t enough. Gala should be grateful for Osimhen, he’s the only reason they’re where they are today.

Borussia is the biggest disappointment in this round.
Monaco still struggling to get over the PSG dominance.

Yea, Dortmond really disappoint almost everyone especially their fans, you have 2 goals advantage in the first leg so everyone expected you to clinch on that and make it to the knockout phase but instead they struggled all game and got knockout by Atalanta.

Monaco had a very good game but still failed to qualify due to the first leg result, I was very surprised that they were able to get a draw even after that red card. It was an entertaining game and I really enjoyed this thi.

Real Madrid got their revenge just like you said, they beat Benfica in both legs of the tournament, well it was very much expected. Both team really showed that effort to go in to the next round but Real Madrid was very much determined.

I think I love the feelings of Champions League just as you have said they always comes with premium energy of entertainment which for the past couple of years I have got that same energy from there, well yesterday game was great Real Madrid proved there self again well deserved played from them, and as for Gala Victor Osimhen really deserved a good handshake for that wonderful performance out there if it was not he Gala should be kissing there ass.

Juventus lost that game because their players became exhausted. They have been playing without a player since the 48th minute. When the game got to extra time they couldn't play like before because the players had become tired.  Juventus would have scored more goals if not for the red card. They paid for their carelessness in Turkey.

Galatasaray were just struggling to curtail the pressure from Juventus. Everyone in Galatasaray was defending, yet the host was still scoring.  Osimhen gave the lifeline and the second goal sealed their qualification.  But I don't like his refusal to celebrate. He should have gone wild. Anyway, I respect his decision not to celebrate.

[Volgastallion]

What the hell just happened yesterday in the Juventus Galatasaray game??? I mean how Galatasaray can be so silly to let Juventus comeback with one men less and they ahving a huge advantage??? And after it seems like they recover the memory and starts to play again and took them out in extra time.

In the other games not so much to see, despite Atalanta making a really solid comeback.

[Umulala-alala]

My bets about PSG and Galatasaray were successful, despite the drama between Juventus and Galatasaray. Juventus was close to achieving a historical success, but the red card for one of their players was too much for them and they couldn't survive in the added time. It was a big surprise for me to watch Atalanta winning 4-1 against Borussia. Italian teams should never be underestimated(unless we are talking about Inter). Benfica failed to eliminate Real Madrid after scoring an early goal. Real managed to equalize pretty fast and Benfica failed to create more goal opportunities for themselves. Moral of the story, I still suck at sports betting.

Juventus gave one of their best performance yesterday i never they will win Galatasaray after their red in the 48th minutes of the match till they played extra time but it was unfortunate that they got eliminated by Aggregate because Galatasaray has 7 goals in total while Juventus has 5 goals. Paris Saint German played a 2-2 draw with Monaco their first leg 3-2 win gave them 5-4 on Aggregate to qualify to the next round. Atalanta was incredible the scoreline was so embarrassing, Real madrid has this spirit of not giving up most expecially in the uefa champions league.

[Majestic-milf]

The game is now 1:1, PSG is playing at home and anything can happen in this Monaco. May repeat the same thing they did in their last time, However, PSG is playing at home and they are doing better than Monaco, apart from that PSG is stronger than them, definitely I’m expecting PSG to win this match tonight.

The second half just started not too long, they will score more goals for sure, so let’s see what will happen in the next minutes of the match, PSG will do more.

It was a bit embarrassing that PSG had to wait for Monaco to go a man down before they could come back with a response and despite the advantage they couldn't still hold on to win which means had Monaco scored another goal it would have been very hard for PSG being that on aggregate the scoreline would read 5-5. Such a drop in form for Luiz Enrique's men and I don't know how thty plan to go far but if it's by what I saw yesterday, they will struggle in the R16.

Galatasaray still had star players who can help them and make difference. In this match, Victor Osimhen scored an important goal to prevent a collapse of Galatasaray in Italy as before that goal, Juventus still created opportunities for scoring a fourth goal by by wasting these chances, they give Galatasaray golden chance to bounce back. The goal scored by Osimhen opens the match for Galatasaray as without that goal, I believe that Juventus will manage to score a goal to win in 120 minute or at least they will have to find the winner at penalty spots.

Juventus played very well and they were very unlucky with the red card but even so they managed to score 3 goals in 90 minutes and equalized an aggregated result. If their players made better shots, they would beat Galatasaray already but with only 10 players, what they have done is already amazing. Later with exhausted players, they let Galatasaray scored two goals and finalized this playoff pair. Generally Juventus can be proud of their high quality performance and if they had not gotten the red card, they would have beaten Galatasaray in aggregated result convincingly too.

Surprises never cease to pop up and I agree with you that Bodø/Glimt has been the most surprising team this season. They not only made it to the last 16, but to get that far, they beat some big teams. After Inter Milan and Juventus were eliminated, only Atalanta remained as Italy's representative in the Champions League. I had thought that Dortmund would qualify because they won convincingly in the first leg, but Atalanta managed to turn things around in the second leg.

Real Madrid can breathe a sigh of relief for now,  as they have finally managed to eliminate Benfica, who had been a stumbling  block during the group stage. Benfica actually took the lead first, but Real Madrid has the mentality of a champion and was able to turn the situation around. Even without Mbappe, Real Madrid could still get the win.

If both teams played at their best, PSG might not have gotten that result. They won with an aggregate score of 5-4. It wasn't a spectacular match, but a task that PSG must complete in the next game, which will surely be tougher than this one. Not too many high hopes for PSG in the Champions League. But everything can change if they improve.

Am not trying to discredit the performance of Juventus yesterday in the uefa champions league but their performance after the red card was due to how poor Galatasaray was last night, not that they were special.
This season Juventus has been putting in a shitty performance domestically and even in other cup competitions, and where it was obvious that Galatasaray was the one that gave them that two more goals they scored due to their shit showing after the red card was during the extra time that Galatasaray decides to attack, and stop their shit showing they were doing all game. Because if they had decided to attack like a team that cames to compete, they would have won Juventus in the 90th minutes of the game, since Juventus will struggle to go toe to toe with Galatasaray that are complete.

Real Madrid did fine, Prestinial was suspended after all, for using a racist language on vinicious Jr. Beating Benfica is the best revenge to offer them instead of walking out of the pitch or abandoning the match as they initially planned, if anymore racist abused gets spotted. As for Galatasaray and Osihmen, the Nigerian Striker vowed to score against Juventus and when it seemed like his promise didn't come to be after the full time, he brought back glory to his side in the extra time. Defeating the old lady is quite a milestone to the Turkish club and Osihmen despite being owed January and February Salary is very happy with his team.

Vinicus best revenge for Benfica which they deserved. I didn't expect Madrid to be so dominant, as I thought that without Mbappe the attack would be less than optimal but Arbeloa had a way of freeing Valverde to push forward into Benfica's half. The win also came at a cost as Asensio was badly injured in a clash with Camavinga.
Congratulations to Madrid and guess what club Madrid will meet in the UCL draw on Friday? I think Manchester City, because FIFA knows how to make money to create interesting matches.

Last season PSG struggled in league phase but they were a completely different team afterwards... This time they weren't different in league phase again. However even after that they don't look that good.

There is really a downgrade in their performance this year. They don't play like they are the last champions I'm afraid. You just can't struggle with eliminating even this Monaco. Monaco are like they are having their worst season in the recent years.

The million dollar question is, will Atalanta be able to hold on and finish off the match like this or probably add another without conceding to proceed to the next stage. Before the match, Atlanta were at the disadvantaged side as they lost the first leg, 2 - 0 which was like climbing a mountain to be in equal footing. Tonight, they equalised and added another one to give them the advantage. From losing 2 - 0 to now winning 3 - 2 on aggregate means If it ends like this, then Dortmund will be dumped out of the competition. It's just funny how Dortmund is, that team is one hell of a team that can be er be trusted. I thought Atlanta had already lost after the leg first not knowing that he will give themselves a fighting chance when they play today. One more goal from them just incase Dortmund happens to score as well.

Crazy game by Atalanta, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Gasperini turned the team into a meat grinder, Dortmund despite having the chance to destroy Atalanta failed to go beyond what they did.
They will have turned all of Bergamo around for this deserved result, moreover.
Dortumund are a very strong team, but do they occasionally unplug and go into blackouts?

In the other games not so much to see, despite Atalanta making a really solid comeback.

Regular time ended with a score of 3-0, and Galatasaray actually "remembered" football only in extra time. I didn't watch the game, but judging by the text broadcasts, their strategy was simply to hold on to the score, they hardly attacked, even when they found themselves in the majority. Under these circumstances, Juventus was able to force the game into extra time, but they simply ran out of steam after that. To be honest, now I even regret that Juventus was eliminated, I expected a normal game from Galatasaray.

Vinicus deserved the Man of the Match award in the match against Benfica. Vinicus played his role very well. Especially with Mbappé's absence, Vinicus was able to fill in and play a key role in determining the outcome of the match. Vinicus is now starting to rediscover his best form, which had faded under Alonso. I hope Vinicus can maintain his top form, as Real Madrid desperately needs him in their title race.
