UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Xyloo]

Sometimes it just happen, we can’t even see what the main problem can be why the team is performing so poorly. Because the same manager that finished at the top of the season last season, won’t be able to make the team prevail again this season. The solution all the time is sacking the manager and I think that’s what they should do now despite the good relationship you will have with the manager.

Undoubtedly, it should be like that because they have very good players, but the truth is I see that they don't run much. There comes a point where the game slows down, and it's because Real Madrid isn't running. It's not a lie, and everyone notices it. Arbeloa is good; he brought in players from the youth academy who are good, but he needs something else, he needs more. This can only be achieved with the integration of new players. They even have their sights set on Julián Álvarez; Real Madrid's transfer agenda is insane.

Julian Alvarez would be a very important player for Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid currently lacks a striker in the attacking line. Mbappé is a very good player, but he's not purely a striker. He can play very well as a winger and a wing-forward, but he and Julian Alvarez can't play in the same positions as pure strikers. However, if they play together, they would be very effective. I think Vinicius should be sold and Alvarez should be signed.

It is beginning to look Iike Barcelona doesn't have a good champions league experience if not why will Atletico Madrid won them 2 null in their own home, it is a big shame after winning them 3 null in there league cup and also 2:1 in La Liga why didn't they do same in that champions league. It will be more shameful and embarrassing to see that the same Atletico Madrid that kick them out in their league cup will also be the ones to kick them out in the champions league quarter finals and it almost done.

If they don't have good experience they can't possibly have a UCL title, right, every year they always take part.

Their defeat yesterday can be considered normal, as this is 11 vs 11 football. Let's just say they were unlucky to lose a player, and then conceded two goals. Furthermore, if you look closely, Atletico prepared for this match very well, there's still a chance for Barcelona to stage a comeback, I just hope Atletico don't play a total defensive game. That would be difficult for Barcelona to break through.

They're in need of a manager more than players, a good manager will organise these players into monsters. Yeah, they need two to three quality special players as well, but I'll be all over a solid manager first. The Champions League approaches and we'll see Real Madrid heading home. Thoughts of remondata are being delusional. I'm tongue-tied and lacking words right now.  Bayern Munich had their first team players rested and also won yesterday, it should be more goals loading.

Real Madrid has good, talented player. Young ones who are very promising, the issue is a good coach to make the team better. A coach that is respected by the player and a coach who will bring out the best from everyone of other. I believe the players are not used to their full potential. Against Bayern Munich it will be difficult for Real Madrid to do a come back without Bayern scoring a goal or two. My mind is made up already that Bayern are through to the semi final.

[Ndabagi01]

Bayern are part of the German machines which means that they're very fast and that's their game pattern. I watched it and saw how Real Madrid was trying to catch up with them due to their fastness. I think at this point Real Madrid management is confused on the players to sign. Arbeloa will definitely leave after the end of this season.

I think that Arbeloa has been given an ultimatum and will be sacked if he didn’t reach the champions league finals. He has lost the first leg to Bayern Munich and I think he’ll have to fight back heavily to get himself back on track. Bayern Munich really needs to be more aggressive in their second leg because I’m sensing a more fierce fight from Real Madrid in the second leg.

Julian Alvarez would be a very important player for Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid currently lacks a striker in the attacking line. Mbappé is a very good player, but he's not purely a striker. He can play very well as a winger and a wing-forward, but he and Julian Alvarez can't play in the same positions as pure strikers. However, if they play together, they would be very effective. I think Vinicius should be sold and Alvarez should be signed.

Julian Alvarez is a great striker and I think it’ll be a very good when he joins Real Madrid but selling Vinicius Junior for him to come as replacement for him will not be the best idea. Real Madrid can have them all both in the team and get to perform optimally more. Vinicius and Mbappe playing from both flanks and Julian Alvarez gets to play in the striking position.

I think Bayern Munich have already advanced to the semi-finals. Real Madrid's hopes are almost gone. However, because of the one-goal difference, Real Madrid will certainly do their best in Germany. A one-goal victory could take the match to extra time. Nothing is over for them. I think they will put up a very good fight in Germany, but winning against a team like Bayern Munich in Germany is very difficult.

[Umulala-alala]

Even though Madrid has not been in the best of their form, Madrid will not be totally ruled out of this game.This is because Madrid is one team that is known for comebacks and surprise element, one goal means nothing to Madrid an early goal from Madrid can just be the difference.Bayern munich should approach this game with all level of seriousness, they should forget that they won the first leg from away because this tie is one that is not over yet.

Bayern munich manager Kompany is a decent fourth. Munich won the first leg match by a narrow margin of 2-1 . But the second leg  match is also very important for them. If they make any mistakes, they will not be able to qualify for the semi finals. Kompany will definitely try  his best to win.

Real Madrid is not in  good form , but the team is still  very strong. And they will still try to qualify for the semi-finals. Anyway , it will be very difficult for Madrid to win the home match against munich. There is no doubt that the match will be  competitive. If Munich does not play well and their  defense is weak, they are likely to lose. Kompany will have to be very careful in choosing his match strategy.

Bayern Munich has best front line in Europe now those players are on fire, Vincent Kompany already has a formation and players that always wins matches for him. madrid has an opportunity to qualify since Bayern Munich didn't win with a large goal margin in the first leg so this will boast them more in the second leg. It's going to be tough for madrid as Munich might not be conducive for them to play a better football than Bayern Munich but any mistake from Bayern can make Real madrid play in the semi final.

Real Madrid, unable to win in Spain, may have an even harder time winning in Germany. However, nothing is impossible, as we know in football. We all remember Paris Saint-Germain's dramatic elimination by Barcelona years ago. That day, Barcelona scored six goals to stage a comeback. This is an almost unprecedented comeback in Champions League history. Therefore, it's not accurate to say it's impossible, but it's certainly very difficult.

The Real Madrid coach is the biggest problem of the team in my own opinion, the players are good and they are trying their best to ensure that they stop getting poor results but it seems the manager is not doing enough work on the players to achieve a better result. If they get a better coach they would command the players to bring out their full potentials may be they will get better and the needed results will come. Against Bayern Munich they should go and get ready for next champions League.

What you said is right it will be difficult for Real madrid to win Bayern in Germany. I vividly remember this Paris Saint German and Barcelona match that year i couldn't believe such comeback will be possible but it was possible so we can see that nothing is impossible in football. There was also a year in the champions league final that AC Milan was winning Liverpool 3-0 in the first half and in the second half Liverpool score 3 goals to equalize the goal and later eliminated AC Milan after penalty shot out so nothing should be surprising in football again.

[$weetne$$]

The main solution is not to sack the manager. There are also some players who are responsible for the current situation at Real Madrid. There have already been two manager changes and even under Arbeloa, Real Madrid is not performing as expected. I also consider Arbeloa to be a good manager, as he proved in the Manchester City match. But the instability of the team is destroying Real Madrid. Where three managers have failed, changing managers is not the real solution. The team needs some young players who are capable of fighting with the same energy for the full 90 minutes and are obedient to the coach.

The team has got enough of young players, talented ones actually, so that may actually not be their issue at this moment, I see it that the attitude and mentality of these players should be considered, if they can get that fixed, it will help them a lot  because  the fact remains that these players too may have their own part to play in the present situation of the team, except they will be willing to overhaul the team if they can not fix the attitude and mentality of the players.

They aren't  that fast to me, they just know how to stay in comtrol in games  without getting dispossed too much . Realmadrid  are one that really like playing  fast game and they tried it against Bayern but bayern was able to frustrate  them out of it.

Fun fact, this same fast game was what Realmadrid used to beat bayern the last time they met , it was a crazy 15 minute rush and they were able to equalize  and at the same time score a winning  goal .

Realmadrid  is a big club , they will figure out who to sign by the en of the season of after the world cupd

They even have their sights set on Julián Álvarez; Real Madrid's transfer agenda is insane.

The flaws of the Spanish giants started when they started using Kylian Mbappe as a false nine, they thought they could convert the French man into goal scoring machine which they have achieved actually but they didn't think of the dangers attached to it, putting Mbappe upfront means exposing him to extreme danger in the hands of defenders which means he could be injured at any time. What they could have done different was to get a natural striker and then put Mbappe and Vinicius on the wings. Perhaps would be aiming to buy a natural striker seeing how bad their tactics have played out this season.

[GbitG]

Julian Alvarez would be a very important player for Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid currently lacks a striker in the attacking line. Mbappé is a very good player, but he's not purely a striker. He can play very well as a winger and a wing-forward, but he and Julian Alvarez can't play in the same positions as pure strikers. However, if they play together, they would be very effective. I think Vinicius should be sold and Alvarez should be signed.

Nope that's totally wrong point like your point didn't even make sense because Real Madrid didn't even approach Julian Alvarez, or even if they did, he wouldn't fit in the Real Madrid team because they already have Kylian Mbappe in attack position, and even Killyan Mbappe is doing much more than Julain Alvarez. So bringing in Julian Alvarez in thw presence of Killyan Mbappe didn't even make any sense. Real Madrid attack is absolutely phenomenal they just need a good midfielder like they have lacking with good passers. So instead of Julain Alvarez Real Madrid need to sign any a good midfielder.....

Besides that Barcelona are approaching Julian Alvarez like they are already seeking for solid striker because Robert Lewandowski is getting old and maybe at the end of the season he leaves the club. So I think Barcelona would be much better than Real Madrid and he will also be a consider as first choice for X11.

[LUCKMCFLY]

As a Liverpool fan, you should know better than me, but isn't it weird that a coach that came to a team for the first time, win the league title, and by the way probably one of the hardest leagues in the world, and then just a year later be considered a bad coach?

I do agree with you by the way, he isn't good at all, but it's still weird to me that this same coach that we are seeing today, somehow managed to win the league title last year and that's weird. Last year you guys were not great at UCL either, not like UCL issues are new, Arne Slot was bad at UCL last year too but at least he looked good and had a chance and won the league, this year he looks like they may not be at top four, probably won't be and somehow so much worse.

Liverpool is undoubtedly a great team. I recently watched their last match where Slaus scored a tremendous goal, in his signature style, scoring goals as he always does. If he's playing that well and focused for the game, I think he can do it. He can do it, no matter how many times the coach tries to stop them with his strategy. I think they should unleash the beast, let him do what he wants. Only then can Liverpool come back. It's not impossible, and I know Liverpool fans know that.

[8rch7]

I think Bayern Munich are clearly qualifying for the semi finals. They already won at Bernabeu and I even expect a bigger win at home. Arbeloa will be sacked very soon in my opinion.

Arne Slot is also very likely to share the same fate with him.    I don't think Liverpool can make a comeback with this game even at Anfield.

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are the other teams I'm expecting to see in next round. But I would love to see Barcelona surprising me.

I know Bayern Munich has positive capital for second leg match after winning 1-2 and playing at home but don't blame with Madrid comeback trend last several matches in Champion League knock out round. Its not first time Madrid loss at first leg match and I remember well when facing Bayern Munich several time Madrid get loss at first leg but comeback at second leg match.

Madrid loss one goal only during the home and away goal already removing its not difficult for Madrid scoring one or two goals against Bayern, I still optimistic Madrid get opportunity qualify to semifinal than Bayern Munich.

Julian Alvarez would be a very important player for Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid currently lacks a striker in the attacking line. Mbappé is a very good player, but he's not purely a striker.

I think Vinicius should be sold and Alvarez should be signed.

Yes,, it's very likely that if Julian Alvarez were recruited by Real Madrid, it would clearly be a very good thing for their forward performance. So if this really happens, I would strongly support it too, because it's true that Real Madrid currently doesn't have a striker who can really be relied on. Because, as we know, currently Real Madrid's striker is Mbappe, while Mbappe's natural position is a winger. So,, because of that, Real Madrid's current attack line is not very effective.

Therefore,, Real Madrid really needs to bring in a sharper striker, and Julian Alvarez is indeed a suitable candidate for Real Madrid. But still,, at this time, this is still speculation because Julian also currently has a fairly long contract with Atletico. So,, that's why I think Atletico might not want to let him go. And besides, in the Champions League, currently Real Madrid and Atletico have very different fates. Because Real Madrid currently has to fight hard to turn things around, and Atletico currently has an aggregate lead over Barcelona. So,, essentially, Atletico currently has the upper hand over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Nope that's totally wrong point like your point didn't even make sense because Real Madrid didn't even approach Julian Alvarez, or even if they did, he wouldn't fit in the Real Madrid team because they already have Kylian Mbappe in attack position, and even Killyan Mbappe is doing much more than Julain Alvarez.

Besides that Barcelona are approaching Julian Alvarez like they are already seeking for solid striker because Robert Lewandowski is getting old and maybe at the end of the season he leaves the club. So I think Barcelona would be much better than Real Madrid and he will also be a consider as first choice for X11.

Julian Alvarez already shown his quality four years ago with Manchester City and Argentina in World Cup 2022 especially when he was very young in 2022. Even so in his first World Cup tournament, he performed very well and took over a position of Lautaro Martinez in that tournament even he began as a substitution only. Four years later, Julian already became an actual star player and he is ready to lead Atletico Madrid to semi finals in Champions League at least.

With Barcelona, seeing how Atletico Madrid did not use main players for the last weekend match in La Liga, and with two-goal disadvantage from a first quarter final, they actually are very fearful now because it's hard to beat a strong and well-fitnessed Atletico Madrid in the next match.

Liverpool is undoubtedly a great team. I recently watched their last match where Slaus scored a tremendous goal, in his signature style, scoring goals as he always does. If he's playing that well and focused for the game, I think he can do it. He can do it, no matter how many times the coach tries to stop them with his strategy. I think they should unleash the beast, let him do what he wants. Only then can Liverpool come back. It's not impossible, and I know Liverpool fans know that.

They are a great club with successful history from Premier League to Champions League, and in this season they have a good team too. However, their good team with many star players still have weakness, firstly from lack of enough good adaptation from new star players who joined the club since the summer, secondly from declining performances of their senior star players like Van Dijk.

These things make Liverpool are likely a good team in theory but in actual operation, they are not strong enough especially compares to a young, strong, competitive and very ambitious PSG team under Enrique management. They lost in the first quarter final and perhaps will lose in a second quarter final and have to finish their season in Champions League at this stage.

The days of Anceloti is gone. He is the manager I can confidently say would have had a higher possibility of a comeback. I am not underrating Álvaro Arbeloa but in terms of experience I don't think he is too experienced to defeat Vincent Kompany who already has a first leg advantage. We shouldn't neglect the fact the second leg will be played at Allianz Arena, Munich which still gives Kompany a more higher advantage. I will love to see Madrid prove me wrong with my little analysis anyways but I doubt any comeback will happen between this two rivals.

As for r Arsenal they are standing on one toe. Yes their next leg is at The Emirates stadium but Sporting isn't cheap. I hope Arteta extends his leads or lose it the way he has repeatedly lost points and chances for trophies this season.

Alvarez has been on that Form for a while what impresses me most back in 2022 wasn't the goal but how quickly he adapted and look his chances when it came,  not so many players can step into a world cup like that and bench someone like Lautaro he looks more focus completely more confidence more decisive and definitely ready for that leading role.saying Barcelona will completely be out might bit  little early but yes Atletico Madrid won't make it easier for Barcelona to proceed to the next round.

Even though carlo ancelotti was still the manager of this real madrid team, they are still going to struggle against this Bayern munich team because they are really in a top form right now, and I don't think any team aside PSG can stop them this season.
Unless something unfortunate happens, like Bayern munich having an early red card in the game that changes the whole contest of the game, just as the atletico madrid vs Barcelona game. So aside that happening, I don't think that this current real madrid team have the capacity to beat this Bayern munich team even though carlo ancelotti was their manager.

As for r Arsenal they are standing on one toe. Yes their next leg is at The Emirates stadium but Sporting isn't cheap. I hope Arteta extends his leads or lose it the way he has repeatedly lost points and chances for trophies this season.

Truly, they already have a foot in the semi final because I don't think that sporting Lisbon has the capacity to beat arsenal at the emirate stadium, talkless of defeating them by 2-0, but the only way arsenal will be doing themselves bad is if they are very complacent in this game, thinking that they have already won, that is where they might have some problems.
