UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Solodoski]

As we all know, Barcelona are strong at home, but Newcastle (like most English teams) are capable of pulling off a surprise.
I don't know if it's an accurate info but there is around 10K Newcastle fans are expected in Barcelona tonight, with only 3K holding tickets... Which means that tonight will be high tension between supporters.
Can Barcelona get the win? Personally, I believe they can, it feels too early for them to exit at this stage.

It will be a shock to the entire football lovers if Newcastle beat Barcelona to be honest. While for me, it will be another brilliant performance seen from Newcastle this season. 10 men Newcastle defeated Manchester United who are in a very good form.

If Barcelona will qualify, they must show more physicality in this game. Newcastle is not a dull team. Newcastle can do the impossible, at the same time, my bet will be on Barcelona to qualify.

Have you not seen an opponent that has been winning 3 to 0 later lost in the second leg before? Only what that just happen is that Manchester City is not that good as a club for now. Another thing is that Real Madrid is not a club that has history of a an opponent winning with big margin in Champions League, so i think you are still right, that Manchester City has lost this season. The only matche that I think would be a sure banker is Arsenal versus Bayer Leverkusen

You weren't as wrong as was to be expected even by those who understand nothing about football that Arsenal would have won the match.
Manchester City did their best, but I hope for them that this isn't the best really, otherwise I don't see a good future for them.
I understand that at the moment it is a club that is suffering a lot, but it is also true that it needs to get a good move on.

Vini constantly provokes the crowd and then acts like a victim the moment he gets some heat back. if he just kept it class and celebrated normally, nobody would care.
and he was really ghosting yesterday, too. Missed so many sitters that even a basic striker would’ve finished. Mbappe would’ve had a hat trick.

Finally, I found someone who said this, and I want to congratulate him on his loss. Provocation? It doesn’t matter what you think of Vinicius, because I understand that accepting defeat must be quite difficult, especially when that celebration forces some fans to remember what they did last year.

But that’s just how soccer is, and if you can’t handle that kind of reaction, then soccer isn’t for people who have a hard time accepting defeat.
So after this, are there any other reasons you would like to put forward in your defense?

Galatasaray defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg, and Galatasaray were the hosts at the time. It's natural for them to win against Liverpool, as the atmosphere at home is certainly different. We'll see how Osimhen and his teammates fare against Liverpool, as Liverpool will be the hosts. What do you think will happen: will Liverpool or Galatasaray win? I think they're almost evenly matched. But somehow, I feel Liverpool will win, as I don't think Liverpool wants to be embarrassed by Galatasaray.

Barcelona were held to a draw by Newcastle in the first leg, but we don't know what will happen. Although Barcelona performed poorly in the first leg, Barcelona could bounce back in the next match, as they certainly don't want to be embarrassed by Newcastle when playing at home. I think Barcelona will win 3-1 in the next match. I hope you guys have a profit from your bets. Do you have the same feeling as me? I think Yamal will score in the next match.

In the current position, Manchester City has become so weak that they are constantly performing poorly. Manchester City lost 3-0 in the first match against Real Madrid and they lost again in the second match. The gap in this second match seemed even worse to me, at the beginning of the game, Manchester City's players lost Silva and became weak.
And in the end, Manchester City was forced to lose, but Real Madrid maintained their lead by winning. Real Madrid showed a consistent performance in this match and I think Real Madrid has proven that they can reach the final.

It's truly a shame Manchester City lost this match,, failing to advance to the next round. With this in mind, we can conclude that Manchester City is indeed weak. However, in this match, Manchester City still put up a fierce fight against Real Madrid. If only Manchester City's players had remained intact until the end,, I think the result could have been better.

However,, fate had other plans, and Manchester City were short-handed from the first half, which was clearly a huge disadvantage for them. Real Madrid have already qualified for the quarter-finals, and they clearly deserved it. However,, I personally am still quite pessimistic about Real Madrid's chances of reaching the Champions League final. While they did beat Manchester City, I believe their next opponent will be much tougher. Therefore,, I'm a little pessimistic about Real Madrid's chances of reaching the final.

In fact, my sympathies are with City more than expected. Not because of the red card or the tactics or any of that. There's something sad about seeing Guardiola after the game basically saying 'yeah we're not the team we used to be'. He said it so calmly.

They'll win six games in a row and you think okay they're back. Then they draw with West Ham and are completely lost doing it. Up and down, up and down. No consistency at all. And now with Txiki gone, maybe Rodri leaving in summer, Guardiola's future is in question. It really does feel like something is coming to an end.

But Madrid were different. Like a team that already decided the contest before kickoff. About Madrid going further though, I am split. They should handle Bayern. But there's something about this run that is almost too clean? Too easy? Maybe I'm just too used to watching Real Madrid break your heart when you are not expecting it. They've done it enough times.

Sporting won the match yesterday, just as I had expected. After taking the match to extra time with a 3–0 victory, Sporting secured their place in the next round by beating their opponents 5–0, thanks to two further goals in extra time. Everyone thought Bodo could go through after their victory, but everything changed for them in an instant. Nevertheless, it is commendable that they managed to reach this stage with such a performance. As for Sporting, we must say it was a truly dominant match for them. Throughout the match, they managed to take a total of 38 shots, finding the target 14 times and scoring 5 goals.

No man. It's not a provocation. Me as a city fans feel nothing with vini's celebration. Mocking and getting mocking is normal in football. I suggest you to take it as an entertainment purpose. If you took it seriously, you will be stressed caused by your team was losing. The better just gotta suck it up and move on.

[wakier]

Barcelona will face Newcastle again today. I think Barcelona have a great chance to win. This is Barcelona chance to give a fierce fight at home. Although Newcastle is likely to implement a defensive strategy so that Barcelona has difficulty scoring goals, but playing away against Barcelona is not an easy thing, the cheers of Barcelona fans will definitely fill the stadium, making it difficult for Newcastle to survive.

Indeed Newcastle still has the same chance to qualify for the quarterfinals, but Barcelona will definitely try their best to take advantage of this home match.

Real Madrid has performed well in both matches against Manchester City. So it is normal for every player to celebrate during the game, after winning and after losing. However, it is difficult to accept those who are supporters of the opposite team, so in this case, the gesture that Vinicius Junior showed is normal for the winning team. So your sister's team and the fans of every team have to accept it.

As hosts, Manchester City now have to endure humiliation after being defeated again by Real Madrid with a score of 1-2, following their previous 0-3 defeat. Vinicius was the hero in today's match, playing well and scoring two goals against Manchester City. However, Manchester City is currently in better form, having not conceded as many goals as in the first leg, when they failed to score a single goal against Real Madrid

manchester Cityy has now failed to advance to the quarter-finals after losing to Real Madrid Their struggles are over, and they can try again next season Meanwhile, Real Madrid has now advanced to the quarter-finals, and they must be prepared to face a team stronger than Manchester City. Real Madrid fans are certainly very happy right now

Manchester City were unable to do much in this match, having to play with 10 men at the start of the first half due to Bernardo Silva's red card. Real Madrid capitalized on their man advantage to defeat Manchester City. Vinicius Jr. was outstanding, converting a penalty perfectly after his miss in the first leg. Vinicius' contribution in this match deserves appreciation, as he scored two goals, leading Real Madrid to their second victory over Manchester City. For Manchester City, failing to advance to the quarterfinals was particularly painful, as they lost to Real Madrid in front of their home fans.

As i know Pep is unlikely stay at City next season. It seems the current season is not going like he wanted. There's no talk regarding his contract extension too. So i expect him to leave from my club, then Maresca to enter in as the new manager.
I believe Pep is washed. So it's time to replace him with a fresh manager like Maresca.

Pep feels so difficult to learn from his mistakes, and he's yet to learn from some wrongdoing he made to the club. So it's time to appoint someone who can potentially perform to handle club. It's Maresca.
If City finish with trophyless, it's time for Pep to leave, but i fully respect Pep for everything he gave to City.

Pep is a head coach with his favorite style of leaving a club when he feels like he and his players already hit limits and will go downside soon. When he sees such early signals of going downside next seasons, he will proactively leave the club and he actually did it with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. In Manchester City, he has stood there for a very long time but his efforts to renew and rebuild the squad one more time in two latest seasons seems to fail and I believe that he is smart and experienced enough to realize it.

I am unsure that Maresca will be able to replace Pep well in Manchester City and whether the club wants to work with this coach who did not succeed with Chelsea.

This season, he's clearly focused on rebuilding the team. If they manage to win the League Cup or finish second in the league and the FA Cup, and that would be seen as a strong achievement by many. There's still a slim chance of winning the league, but it would depend on Arsenal dropping points in four or five of their remaining matches, which seems unlikely. Even so, winning both domestic cups would still make it a successful season.
As for his approach, his style has been widely used across different clubs, and that might be part of why it's not as effective right now. If Manchester City face Real Madrid again next year, it will be another tough test. Replacing him, though, feels hard to imagine at this point.

Arsenal beat Leverkusen 2-0 at home and progressed to the next round. Despite allowing their opponents more possession, Arsenal created more chances at home and capitalised on their opponents’ draw in the first leg. Eze and Rice scored the goals for Arsenal.
Despite losing the first leg 5-2, PSG managed to defeat their opponents in the second leg as well. Having beaten their opponents 3-0 away to secure an 8-2 aggregate victory, PSG have truly struck fear into their rivals. Chelsea, however, were unlucky not to score despite putting in a good performance against their opponents in this match.

The thing we've always known about real Madrid is that when they were wnt to come out you with full force, they do so and do it really well with zero hesitation and it's just unfortunate for Manchester city that they got unlucky with real Madrid. This is actually not a so big deal because when you're playing a team like real Madrid, you should expect anything to happen  expecially against you. As if stands, things seems to be getting really bad for the premier league teams and the main hope for a good outing might just be arsenal and Liverpool that's if Liverpool is able to win in today's second leg.

Who can say this a few months ago.

Incredible how this Real Madrid destroy the Manchester City without sweat, i mean Real Madrid strugle a lot more against Benfica. The game was not so good since from the start with the red card the chances of make something from Manchester City goes pretty low.

In the other games, im sad for Bodo, and what a disaster it was Chelsea, damn man, PSG literally wipe them.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I never expected Sporting CP to overturn the three goals advantage Bodø/Glimt had over them but they did it at ease and made it to the quarter final. Yes, Bodø/Glimt thought they could proceed to the next round of the Champions League with their advantage and they were relaxed and they didn't bothered to score a goal and make Sporting CP lose hope to qualify for the quarter final, that's why Sporting CP were motivated to fight Bodø/Glimt until they got the two goals in extra time that gave them a safe passage to the next stage of the Champions League.

Honestly this game was the come back we should be talking about not City , Chelsea and Spurs, Sporting CP finished the game in the first half and my concern is about the visitors who are having the biggest advantage like Madrid had against City but Bodø/Glimt was enjoying the game when it was 1nil against them, I expected at least a goal to increase the advantage and hold on to the ball to frustrate the Sporting CP players but they didn't, too bad I can't even lie. Full time it was 3-0 and still they allowed Sporting CP to score the earliest goal in the extra time, these guys shouldn't come back next season. Today we have Spurs and Atalanta to do a real come back like Sporting CP not like the trash come back we saw from the Citizens and the Blues.

[m4r1o]

Bayern Munic will still defeat them in the second leg but the odd will be so small that it can be regarded as worthless. I'm considering betting heavily on over 3.5 but due to the number of goals scored in the first leg, Bayern Munic might just decide to reserve their players for their Bundesliga match against Union Berlin who drew them in their first meeting earlier on the season
 Bayern Munic might consider using the second league meeting to set the records straight that they are the Champions.

Atalanta is doomed and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand or doesn't want to see all the things that have happened, this is a team that has no chance of winning against Bayern Munich who are one of the best teams in Europe and will do everything to win the Champions League competition.

Barcelona drew 1-1 with Newcastle in the first leg and now it’s time to secure their place in the next round at home. I think Barcelona will struggle against Newcastle in this match, but they will be the ones to progress. Much like yesterday’s match against Arsenal, I reckon they’ll likely concede possession to their opponents and still win by a score of 2-0.
The return leg between Bayern Munich and Atalanta will be a mere formality. As Bayern Munich managed to defeat their opponents 6-1 away in the first leg, Atalanta are unlikely to pose much of a threat. I also expect Bayern Munich to field a rotated squad.

I think they're almost evenly matched. But somehow, I feel Liverpool will win, as I don't think Liverpool wants to be embarrassed by Galatasaray.

Barcelona were held to a draw by Newcastle in the first leg, but we don't know what will happen.

I think Barcelona will win 3-1 in the next match. I hope you guys have a profit from your bets. Do you have the same feeling as me? I think Yamal will score in the next match.

Galatasaray vs Liverpool last five matches is really something that doesn't show that Liverpool has hope in the game today because in their last five matches, Galatasaray has won about 3-4 times and Liverpool has only a win in that last five games and that is a very long time ago, I guess 2006 or 2009 and this is why I'm doubting their possiblity of qualifying but we will find out today and Barcelona Newcastle was a tough one in Newcastle ground and I think it is going to be a different ball game.

It will be a huge shock indeed because my prediction here is for Barcelona to win and it's not even because of the odds, Barcelona are hard to defeat when playing on the home side and when it comes to experience in the champions league they have that more than Newcastle. It might be a tough game and it might not, my instincts tells me that Barcelona are going to win this game with ease

Vinicius Jr is a top player for Real Madrid and for the fact that he missed big chances yesterday at the Etihad stadium doesn't mean he's not good enough. This is football and player do miss chances, common we wouldn't blame the Brazilian for having to miss those chances. However he did revived himself on the pitch by scoring the winner against Manchester City at injury time. Real Madrid have qualify to the next phase of the UCL and Manchester City are back home where they belong.

Talking about Vinicius Jr consult on the pitch, he's this kind of player that's passionate about the game and the way he flows, there's absolutely nobody on this planet that does what Vinicius Jr does on the pitch. Vinicius Jr is HIM for Real Madrid.
