UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[karabiber]

I personally would be eagerly anticipating Mourinho's return to Real Madrid, as I believe Real Madrid players' egos are becoming increasingly difficult to control as time goes by. After all, their players are still young but already established stars, so it's highly likely they'll prioritize their egos over playing for the team as a whole. I also believe Mbappé can still deliver good results for the team, but unfortunately, the rest of the Real Madrid squad must also fully support Mbappé, and I think that's difficult to achieve consistently throughout the season.

It’s highly unusual for Real Madrid to finish a season without a trophy. They haven’t won a title in La Liga or the Champions League for two seasons. The president is looking to the past to put a stop to this situation, but there’s one thing he’s forgetting. Mourinho isn’t the same Mourinho he used to be. In recent years, he’s left the clubs he’s managed to widespread criticism and has failed to deliver success. Now there’s talk that he’ll bring discipline to Real Madrid, but does Mourinho really think working with the new generation will be easy? If he does, he’s mistaken, and I certainly don’t think he’ll bring any success to Real Madrid.

This is where the bias came in. How will the rest of Real Madrid squad fully support Mbappé and what is your definition of support here?
Do you mean that all passes should go to him?
All set pieces should also go to him?
What is your basis for this statement?
Is Vini Junior not older than Mbappé in the Real Madrid team. Do you feel that Vini is not worthy to lead? Didn't you see his efforts in the World cup as well?

Mbappé is among the world best players, but that does not make Vini an ordinary player. Vini is a super star and also a Balon d'or candidate. So the team should also support Vini, as much as they support Mbappé.

The more time you spend in a job or business, the more experience you will gain. Are you saying that Mourinho is currently worse than before because I doubt that. The fact is that Mourinho went to a low class club which was why he couldn't succeed because they cannot afford the set of players he needs to be victorious. Roma sacked him when he asked for additional players to the team and they brought De Rossi which they later sacked. Mourinho is the right coach for the job.

I don’t know why people still doubting Mourinho for this job but to me is the best manager they will be right now for the club, he has a lot of experience and you can see how he treat players that misbehave and did something wrong in the club, he don’t take any rubbish from anyone. And to do the job correctly I know that he will deliver as people expected, I never doubt him for once taking this job for himself and helping to bring back the team together again.

Are you kidding me? After Jose Mourinho left Real Madrid I can still remember vividly that apart Manchester United that he failed to win the league title he's been amazing all through, he gave AS Roma their first ever major European trophy after winning the UEFA conference league title, you know despite what ever you've done or you're still doing there must be critics that's normal it's in human nature, but thinking Jose Mourinho can't bring success to the Real Madrid team is one big mistake you must be making because I'm certain Jose Mourinho is winning either the UEFA Champions League or the Spanish La Liga title this season mark my words.

[Humblevirus]

Mourinho is a very experienced coach and he is even a coach who has a good career in European competitions so I think no one doubts Mourinho especially with his team Real Madrid which is also a king in Europe especially in the Champion League competition so I am quite optimistic that Mourinho will be very much taken into account with Real Madrid in the Champion League competition next season regardless of whether he will be able to win the title or not but at least there will be fierce competition that they are able to show to win the title.

We can predict players and coaches based on their past records, but that doesn't mean they will definitely have the best season they have had in the past when they move to another club, some may perform well, while others may not. We have  seen many players and coaches experience that.Mourinho is a very good coach with great achievements, just as you said. But I think the expectations people have for him are too high, and it's possible that he may not meet those expectations.

In fact, my concern with Mourinho is that it has been a long time since he coached a truly big team like Real Madrid. It  the way he has addressing those average players he have been dealing with recently may be it will like to those Real Madrid players and If he addresses them the same way, it may not give the results it may want.That is what happened to Alonso when he was coaching Real Madrid. Alonso is a very good coach, but it seemed he didn't know how to manage those Real Madrid players properly and that is why he ended that way.look at what he did at Leverkusen. He handled that those players very well and achieved great success despite they not that great as Real Madrid players.

In terms of discipline, I believe Jose Mourinho will solve the club's problem, but when it comes to tactics of the recent football, he can try but not as many people are expecting because he has did his own in the past, its now time for young managers to coach and win trophies; although based on his experience and with the available players in the team, I will expect him to do well but not outshine Barcelona immediately.

I watched the last two teams he managed. With Fenerbahçe and Benfica, his teams didn't perform particularly well. He couldn't achieve anything extraordinary for the team, nor could he make it happen. Of course, Real Madrid's squad quality and players are very different. With his tactical approach, he could be successful at Real Madrid, but he could also experience the opposite of what everyone expects. They haven't faced a strong opponent in their pre-season matches yet, so it's not right to comment on them. They showed good performances against weaker opponents, and the majority of the squad participated in those games. From what I understand, Mourinho will want to utilize the young players.

In one way or another, I still think that one of the best things the fans can do is to put their trust in Mourinho because that is the only way he can do his job better. I am certain that he has studied the club and now knows exactly what they need in order to do better, not just about the players misbehaving but also about their defense being a little lacking. Mourinho hasn't even started anything, and people are already doubting him. And because people have faith in him, nearly everyone was thrilled when it was announced that Mourinho would take over as Madrid's coach. Because of the way some of the players have been acting inappropriately, they believe that Mourinho will be the only person to manage Real Madrid.

With the arrival of Mourinho at Real Madrid, every Real Madrid player will learn to comport themselves so that they won't fall into the bad record of Mourinho, because Mourinho himself is a no-nonsense human being who will bench you for a long time if you don't obey his instructions.

Mbappe and the rest of the players. Last season's experience alone is supposed to teach them a lesson that playing individual players is not really working for them as they had thought. Playing with one mind and the same goal in mind will take them far and make them win the match and league trophy they are in for.

You know Real Madrid are also intolerant with any manager, if they manager doesn't bring success to the team. So I'm sure if Mourinho doesn't do well for them they will sack him as they did to Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa. If Xabi Alonso had a long contract with Real Madrid, we know that there's assurance that he could bring success to the team because he has that potential, but he got sacked because he failed to coordinate the team. But one thing that I believe Mourinho is good at, is discipline, I'm sure he can give them that result. If he handle that there's higher chance for him to win trophies because discipline is what Real Madrid are lacking.

Red Star had won the first match against their opponent 4-0. As if winning the first match by such a wide margin weren’t enough, they also scored 5 goals against their opponent at home, securing a 9-0 aggregate victory and advancing to the next round. There was a clear disparity in strength between them and their opponent, but to be honest, I didn’t expect them to score that many goals over the two matches.
Fenerbahçe remained undefeated against Gornik Zabrze and advanced to the next round. Although our team didn’t put on a particularly strong performance against their opponent, they came away with a draw. The draw was enough to advance to the next round, but the match could have easily gone into extra time.

The Xabi Alonso situation is still a big mystery to me. His dismissal so quickly doesn't make sense to me at all. I think a less experienced coach like Arbeloa was given more of a chance than Xabi. Perhaps if Xabi had stayed, Real Madrid would be at a different level today. Of course, the end might not be bright for Jose Mourinho either, but we're at the beginning of the road now, and everyone has high hopes for them. This is certainly partly due to the Portuguese coach's successful career with Real Madrid.

Hapoel Beer won 2-0 at home and advanced to the next round. They had lost the first leg 2-1 on the road. In the second leg against Vikingur, the match ended scoreless in the first half, but they secured the win with goals in the second half and advanced.
Slovan Bratislava, carrying the advantage of a 2-0 away win, advanced to the next round despite drawing 1-1 at home against Iberia. Bratislava was already the favorite in this matchup, so their advancement came as no surprise.

[bisasam]

They, Celje were very lucky to receive a penalty in the additional time early minutes otherwise they would be eliminated, the second half the Albanian team completely dominated the game as I watched that game live, anyway congrats to Celje for moving forward while the Albania team will play in Europa League agsinst Shamrock from Ireland. Today games though look a bit better than yesterday ones as stronger teams are playing.

Honestly, two superb legs to watch with many goals. Both teams tried to play football the best they could, and in the end, the Slovenian team managed to pass through. It was the luckiest who managed to go through because in both games they were two equal teams. Egnatia will definitely be dissatisfied, but they still have a chance to reach the group stage if they beat their next opponent.

During the match, Celje had to struggle a lot and try to hold on, and they were also very lucky to let the game go to penalties. Now in the next match, they'll face Ararat Armenia, so to advance, they can't rely solely on luck; they also need to make some adjustments to their defense, which has been their weak point.

[kriminall]

The 3rd qualifying rounds have been determined. Fenerbahçe will play Sturm Graz. The first match will be in Istanbul, and Fenerbahçe needs to score many goals in this match to gain an advantage for the return leg. Fenerbahçe did not perform very well in the Gornik Zabrze match and it seems they have not yet completed their preparation process. Sturm, on the other hand, showed that they are a very serious threat to Fenerbahçe by scoring six goals in two matches against Hearts. Looking at the squad, Fenerbahçe seems to be in better shape, but everything will depend on being fully prepared.

Mourinho undoubtedly is a good coach, but his success has mostly been with big teams. We have all seen Mourinho's experience and playing style allow the team to make new history. He led the team to a big win for the first time while he was at Roma. So we can't blame him at all. But the real success comes from an experienced coach seeing the potential of the club and preparing the players. We all know that he tried his best. But he was ultimately sacked by Roma because he didn't have good players and extra players in the team. So I would say the main failure here was Roma. Because he got the players he needed and showed great success to Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
