UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Pandu Geddon]

It was still with the missing players that they trashed Manchester City 3-0. It seems that you don't understand that City isn't that strong again. They couldn't win their match yesterday and they struggled like an average club. Is this the club that wants to make a comeback in the second leg with a club that almost all the players can net the post. It's like now that the major attackers of Madrid are absence is when they're scoring many goal.

The current situation for Man City is quite difficult. Being 3 goals behind is not an easy matter to catch up on, even if they want to make a comeback in the second leg, with Man City's current performance it will certainly be difficult. They have to make a greater effort. It is not impossible to beat Madrid, but making up the goal difference may also feel difficult. Unless Madrid is really unlucky and plays very poorly.

I saw someone predicting Chelsea win against Paris Saint Germain in the return leg of the UEFA champions league i was like how possible is this, like it seems many has forgotten that Chelsea has lost form and can't face a team like Paris Saint Germain with this squad Paris Saint Germain are definitely beating them home and away no doubt, i tried to give him reasons of not staking on that bet but he seems to have known it all, but deep down that is a one hell of a risk because i don't see Chelsea getting a draw in that game but all the same i wish them the best of luck.

Chelsea is trailing by 3 goals on aggregate against PSG, so I don't think they can turn things around, especially since Chelsea's team performance has been very poor lately. So maybe if PSG plays safely, there is a chance for Chelsea to win the match, but I am sure it would only be by a score of 1 or 2 goals, which means PSG will still advance to the quarterfinals. I have been watching Chelsea's performance in several recent matches, so I really don't believe they will pull off a surprise.

I will not dispute the fact that Manchester City will be able to win the game but their victory wouldn't take them anywhere, because it will be difficult to City to score at least four or more in order to qualify for the quarter finals. Real Madrid cannot be as weak to the point that they will lose out in the round of 16 to City that is finding it difficult to win the game previous games.

Real Madrid have high hopes in the Champions League, they will definitely maximize it, this is because in the domestic league it is more difficult to be at the top of the table where Barcelona continues to lead the league, so the final answer is that they must maximize the champions league.
City cannot do much now they will be very difficult in the second leg chasing the goal difference, they are declining, the absence of Mbappe but still win against Manchester City, this is an extraordinary surprise, but Madrid should not necessarily rely on Valverde again, given yesterday's victory, Guardiola must have given special attention to Valverde.

Well, they don't really need to score four goals, they "just" need to score three and then they can also try to take a risk a see how the penalties go. After all their goalkeeper is Donnarumma, and he is very good at saving penalties, so they may have a chance. Courtois is good too of course, but in that case I feel like City would have a little advantage. And they are in their own stadium of course.

Chelsea is a team filled with high-quality players, which should make it easy for them to pull off a surprise, but unfortunately, Rosenior has not been able to maximize the strengths of this team. Just look at their results from the last five weeks in the Premier League, they have only managed to win once, so I share your opinion, Chelsea will probably not be able to catch up with PSG goal difference. The same is likely to apply to Man City.

Clubs like Bayern are lucky that they have been able to score a good number of goals in the first leg and will generally be more comfortable in the second leg trying to defend their lead because had they not had the good number of goals against Atalanta, then it would have been very worrying for them in the second leg, as they are having a goalkeeper crisis. They have all their goalkeepers injured; Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, and Sven Ulreich are all unfit for the time being.

Bayern Munich will likely be playing in the return leg with their under-19 team's goalkeeper, who is just 16 years of age.

Real Madrid is still in the race for the La Liga title. Four points difference is not so much that they cannot reach or overtake Barcelona. The good part of it is that both teams are playing in the UEFA Champions League which means they both have more games at hand. I don't think Real Madrid is relying on Federico Valverde for goals. He was just fortunate to score a hat-trick in the first second round UCL game. Real has many quality strikers that can devastate the defence of City in Etihad.

Exactly, winning Real Madrid at Etihad can be obtainable to some point but cancelling the goals will be a very tough one to do and even if  that is possible I don't think and I doubt if this current Manchester city can do that. Real Madrid is known as champions in the champions league and even when Manchester city was on fire they barely win Real Madrid with the form and talk less of now they are not longer in a good form, the game is just going to be like Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid if at all...

I won't be easy for Manchester City to cancel all three goals the least the can do is just win but there's no way Real Madrid won't try to score one goal or even frustrate Manchester City with tight marking and defence. They really fucked up by failing to score any goal away especially against Real Madrid. Maybe the tough it would be very easy over there but Real Madrid showed them that they're the real Champions of the Champions League.

They're the best team in this year champions League they're so lucky to win five  champions League matches in a roll, it's amazing and I'm super excited for them, a local club from Norway is making such an impact on the biggest tournament stage in football.

They have won inter Milan, Altetico Madrid,Manchester City and sporting, these are top team in the champions League and this local club has humiliated them this season, football is indeed unpredictable.

football is really unpredictable, but that's why there are so many football fans, i is really happy that there are also these teams that have reached these levels and not always the usual ones, otherwise it ends up being boring if we know how it's going to end, i really like how they approach the matches

[blomen]

No they don't.

They're not 18/19 Liverpool.

Pep's tired. He doesn't have it in him anymore to make a comeback. Did you hear his interview? He said it would be very had, that we will see.

i agree. even though they’re a good team, they don’t stand much of a chance in either the premier league or the champions league, and it looks like they’ll be sitting this season out in terms of those two competitions.

conceding three goals in the first match was the biggest mistake they could have made against real madrid. i think their chances of a comeback are zero. real madrid could play it safe, finish the match 0-0, advance to the next round, and head home. real madrid has the control.

[m4r1o]

I could say that Bodø is an anomaly because they are not filled with expensive players, in fact their names are not even heard by many people, but they can get this far in the Champions League just by relying on their situation like that-- this really is a pure ball game and mentality I think because they are able to face big teams without being afraid and able to play consistently. With what they are showing now, maybe they will go through to the next round with confidence.

Bodo is an excellent team, which is making its way among the big teams, it is clear that they must have a lot of confidence because they can do well and they have shown it to everyone, against Inter they played a great match and i think that at this point they will also be able to go to the quarter-finals which i would say is already incredible

With Manchester City's inconsistent form, it seems unlikely they'll be able to score three goals, even though they're playing at home in the second leg. While Manchester City might be able to beat Real Madrid in the second leg, they're unlikely to win by more than two goals. Moreover, Real Madrid will undoubtedly be looking to maintain their lead in the second leg. Therefore, Manchester City's Champions League campaign seems over, as they have very little hope of a comeback.

The problem is, Madrid isn't a team that often makes mistakes when playing in the Champions League. Moreover, with Madrid already leading by three goals, it's certainly difficult for Man City to stage a comeback. Instead Madrid has a reputation for making comebacks in UCL and I'm sure that's difficult for Man City. With Madrid currently in positive form, it's very unlikely they'll play poorly in the second leg, especially after convincingly beating Elche. That win will certainly boost Madrid's morale ahead of the second leg.

Meanwhile, Man City is currently in poor form having just dropped two points against West Ham. Furthermore, Man City current play is very predictable, passing the ball slowly from side to side, allowing opponents to easily reposition themselves defensively. So, I'm not confident they can pull off a comeback against Madrid. Even if Man City were to win, it wouldn't be enough to secure their place in the competition as overcoming a 3 goal deficit is no easy feat, especially against Real Madrid.

Cant wait to watch Liverpool Galatasaray game. Liverpool is in shambles right now. They couldn't even get a win against a Tottenham side that everyone is beating. Arne Slot clearly has no clue how to use his squad. Still, with their home advantage and experience Liverpool remains the favorite against Galatasaray.

Manchester City are doing absolutely no come back with this sort of performance that they are currently playing, from the looks of things if they are not careful Real Madrid might even still take the second leg as victory for them because Manchester City has been nothing but dreadful in performance and pep himself knows this.

Honestly I don't know who will take the win on Wednesday when they meet, I can't fully write off Liverpool yet because of this silly draw against Tottenham, as i was  watching the match, it felt like they were cautious about there gameplan, not wanting to damage anything before there matchup with Galatasaray, but they really attacked brilliantly, they were really caught off guard with that Tottenham's reconciliation. It's going to be long day in Arnfield on Wednesday.

A few seasons ago, when we saw a meeting between two teams as strong as that, it would surely show a fierce and surprising competition. But from the results of the first leg, we can already see that this season will definitely be different. They met earlier, and we can see the superiority of one of the teams. The chances of a surprise happening are very small, but hopefully the second leg match will still be exciting.
