UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

Fenerbahçe played the first leg of the 2nd qualification round against Gornik Zabrze today. We had a domination in statistics which was natural to see considering the gap of quality.

We managed to win by the only goal by a free-kick Talisca took. But I can't say I was very happy with the result as it was only 1-0. We should have got a bigger win at home. But I'm used to seeing my team struggling this much when we open the season this early.

Fenerbahçe managed to break down their deep-defending opponent with a free-kick goal from Talisca, yet the opposition didn't really open up much after that. They mounted only one dangerous attack in the first half—that was it.
Fenerbahçe will secure a high-scoring away victory. However, it is worth noting that nothing has really changed at Fenerbahçe. Re-hiring a manager who has already been tried before makes no sense. İsmail Kartal might be aiming to establish a specific playing philosophy, but he needs to gradually offload the surplus players in the squad.

It is not up to Olise whether he can leave Bayern or not. You think he can quickly leave the club only because he wants to, but I am sure you have heard about a piece of paper called "contract" in real life. There it is written that Olise goes nowhere unless Bayern allows him to go to Real Madrid. It will all be about the financial suffering that Real Madrid is willing to accept because no matter what, Bayern will make this as expensive as they can.

Real Madrid has a good history, but the recent times are worse than Bayern Munich. So Michael Olise may not want to decide to leave Bayern Munich and come to Real Madrid. Even if this deal is completed or not, Bayern Munich will decide, Olise can only put pressure on Bayern Munich if he wants to leave Bayern Munich and go to Real Madrid. In this case, Real Madrid will have to set a big price for this player which Bayern Munich wants. Even I don't see much rumors about this deal yet, Bayern Munich is also not willing to let Olise go, if he has to leave then maybe Real Madrid will have to set a much bigger price which is more than expected.

Olise is a very good player that every team may wish to have in their squad, based on his great performances last season and even in this World Cup.

At this point olise is one of the best winger, and funny enough I realised this his talent when he came to Bayern, I never knew he was this good when he was in crystal palace,
So some how clubs can kill a players potential, there might be quality players that are in small clubs, but only some sets of coaches get to see them and request for them, and that is one quality of a good coach.
Some coaches just go for big expensive players that will probably not play to expectations, but a good coach will go for good player that are not overpriced.

[Dzwaafu11]

I remember before Mbappe join Madrid, many said this same thing, that they are going to be the best team in La Liga and even the champions league, but it has been two seasons and we know what the fate of Madrid has been, i will take exceptions that since we have a better coach now, it may be different, but if we are to go by the records of last two season, we will not be saying Olise will be the solution to Madrid.

I hope for Madrid that they succeed at this Olise deal and let us see what will become of them having Olise and a coach as Mourinho.

That was when Real Madrid was still the one we know till now, now that Real Madrid have not be doing well for the past two seasons, infact since Mbappe came in they haven't do anything really good again. No champions league and no La Liga that everyone thought Real Madrid will be the best club in, they keep misbehaving and there is no any sign of Real Madrid getting better any time soon.

Byt we don't know what Mounrinho will bring, but as it is now they hahe gooal squad that is capable of giving them any trophy they want,   but seems the star playees that can make it happen are not too ready the way ir should be, but Mounrinho is very talented and he is here to bring madrid performance.

Maybe you don’t watch the premier league often but we have always know that he his a quality player. We can’t expect him to replicate what he his doing at bayern at crystal palace. What you play amongst good players it really help to bring the best out of you. Bayern Munich have really helped bring him to another level.

Right now he is Among top 3 wingers in the world. We saw what he did last season and what he did also at the World Cup, he don’t just score but also assists and makes the team play more better. I will really want to see him at Real Madrid.

[coinlary]

Real Madrid is doing their best to lure him in as they desperately need a right winger which is understandable, maybe they explore other options because Olise's deal has very slim chances of pulling through.

In my view, the first thing Real Madrid should do is to overhaul the club. Los Blancos have many world-class players that either sitting on the bench or underused. Jose Mourinho has the responsibility to determine the future of players like Rodrygo. I don't think that the Brazilian would want to continue staying at Real Madrid when his position is not guaranteed. Bringing in more top players like Michael Olise might impact the club's adversary. The club already has enough strikers, so bringing in more without letting some leave might bring personality clashes.

They need substitutes apart from the starters but it still doesn't make that much sense to start using world class players as sub. The plan after first  season would likely be loaning out players  after Jose examines their overall performance  and don't forget they Mohave academy players on bench just like Barcelona  .

Olise deal can only happen if olive eventually becomes interested in money but at the moment , he even mentioned that he's not considering Realmadrid as his next move . Bayern on the other hand are also trying to cook something nice for him .

Jose mourinho knows how to Manage big players so the stars in Real Madrid won't be a problem,  he managed a great player like Ronaldo and others and they were all in good shape , he can manage Vinicius,  Mbappe and Jude all together.

You're right, for me things with Mourinho will be interesting because he's learned so much more, and it's true about the stars, he has to make them his allies so they can guide the team. He needs very good midfielders. There's a lot of talk about Rodri; honestly, I didn't like his style, I don't know, but the way he played in the World Cup with Spain I really liked. He has great game intelligence, Mourinho should ask for him.

Mourinho is a very intelligent coach and also good at what he does. Even though his style might not be entirely easy he still knows how to handle his players and demand the best from them. Most important I admire the way he handles his dressing room, somehow he knows how to unite the players. I think right now Real Madrid really need a coach like Mourinho, a coach that can settle the difference among the players to make them work together again after they had a lot of issues working as a team.

They have a strong defense already so right now what they need is to improve their midfield. I'm impressed hearing they are interested in Rodri. Rodri also seem to interested so it will be a good deal for both parties. With all this things I believe Mourinho will have an impact at the team.

[ingiltere]

Fenerbahçe didn't get off to a good start. Gornik Zabrze are a very weak opponent. Fenerbahçe dominated the match but just couldn't score. Talisca's free-kick goal saved them. But this result is definitely cause for concern. Fenerbahçe need to be much more productive on offense. Greenwood came into the game in the final minutes, but we didn't see much from him. Scoring just one goal at home isn't a good result for Fenerbahçe. The second leg could turn out to be unnecessarily stressful.

Just last season seeing how Olise was performing optimally in the Bundesliga, I was asking a friend the club he came from because I never knew him when he was in Crystal Palace until he joined Bayern Munich. This is indeed a big talent hidden in  a small club. His performance last season has really added to the success of his career and was able to also represent his country in the World Cup making the first eleven squad of the France team. He won the golden booth and this is really a great one for him to add to his career prospects. Bayern Munich needs him for the champions league which is most important for them now that even the Bundesliga, let’s see if he can maintain this level of form even by next season.

Since we rarely watch Crystal Palace games especially then it was difficult to really see how outstanding he was.

Also, the season after we saw Crystal Palace as a bigger underdog winning a trophy and then Eberechi Eze got a lot of spotlight but now we can say that Michael Olise was a bigger class than Eze though it didn't seem the case at first.

Olise is actually expensive but look at his performance even from Crystal Palace we can say there's an higher chance that he will be a good buy no matter the fee.

I've never seen our teams ready when they start the season early. July matches have always been tough. Teams can't finalize their transfers early enough. And the players they've signed aren't ready yet, so they don't play. Fenerbahçe might show their true form with their new players in the next round. They're thinking, we'll get through this round somehow. Looking at the opponent that's true but if something goes wrong, the management will have a hard time explaining it.

By the way Talisca's goal was really beautiful. But the fact that Fenerbahçe couldn't score from open play is a major problem. If it hadn't been for the free kick goal and the match had ended in a draw, the criticism would've increased.

Faced weakness opponent team Fenerbahce can't take advantage as well as by winning one goal only at home match, Talisca's goal at 37th minutes actually helpful for Fenerbahce but still not guarantee qualify to next round regarding the second leg playoff round match.  Gornik Zabre actually still has opportunity comeback at second leg match but have to win above two goals from Fenerbqhce, I think loss 1-0 at first leg match is not really over for Gornik Zabrze get opportunity qualify to the next playoff round and have great chance getting appearances for first time participants at Champion League.
The second leg natch will play next week and Fenerbahce onky need get draw if want to qualify next round but Zabrze won't disappointed their fans by playing at home.

Even I don't see much rumors about this deal yet, Bayern Munich is also not willing to let Olise go, if he has to leave then maybe Real Madrid will have to set a much bigger price which is more than expected.

Olise’s contract with Bayern Munich is still active, leaving now will cost Real Madrid a lot of money to have him in their club which I am not certain they’re willing to pay for him. Bayern Munich needs him now than ever and not being part of the squad for next season will have an effect on Bayern Munich even not in the Bundesliga but in the champions league.

This rumor has been going around even more lately even though there is no official bid for him from Real Madrid yet. We don’t know the players stance on whether he wants to stay or he wants to leave the club, but one thing is certain, Bayern Munich won’t be willing to let him go that easily. Real Madrid also needs to work on their gameplay because even with Olise in that squad, if they’re not effective enough, they will still not win the La Liga, neither will they get to win the champions league also.

Honestly, there are still so many players who lacking of talents in Fenerbahce. I understand this is still early season, but unable to break the defense against Gornik Zabrze who placed at 371th of EU ranking is weird.
The way they play remind me with Tukey's national team. They own possession, they did so many shoots, but hard to win because they always struggle to break opponent's defense. There's still something wrong with the club.

Jose mourinho knows how to Manage big players so the stars in Real Madrid won't be a problem,  he managed a great player like Ronaldo and others and they were all in good shape , he can manage Vinicius,  Mbappe and Jude all together.

Given Mourinho's experience managing star players, he should be able to manage Real Madrid's current star players. However, there will certainly be differences, as each player has different characteristics I hope Mourinho can carry out his duties as a coach well, ultimately living up to the expectations of Real Madrid fans. And hopefully, Mbappé, vinicius, bellingham, and the other players can work well together, ultimately enabling Real Madrid to perform better than last season

Competition in the Champions League will certainly not be easy for Real Madrid, as there are certainly many strong teams However if Mourinho can manage Real Madrid's players well there is certainly potential for Real Madrid to become champions We'll just have to see what happens

I also feel that Fenerbahçe deserved to win this match,, as they were only facing a Polish team whose performance wasn't particularly good. So,, with this in mind, I'm confident that Fenerbahçe will be able to win again in the second leg. However, I also hope that in the second leg, Fenerbahçe can win by a bigger score. Because only being ahead by one goal is clearly not good enough,, and it looks like Fenerbahçe is struggling.

Therefore,, I hope they can play more aggressively and be bolder in making decisions when they are close to the opponent's goal. Because from what I see right now, Fenerbahçe's players may not be able to play with confidence at the moment. Therefore, their performance is not optimal. Therefore,, I hope Fenerbahçe can play even better from now on, because they basically have a very good squad at the moment.

Yes, I agree that Mourinho is a good coach but I think his time has passed, and that his tactical ideas and strategies are outdated and he is no longer the top coach he once was, or at the level of coaches like Pep, Luis Enrique, Arteta etc.
As for whether he can unite and harmonize the Real team, that is questionable after his open conflict with Vini after the match between Benfica and Real in the Champions League.
Real's main problem is the conflict between their 2 main stars, Vini and Mbappe, over who should be the main player in the team and I think that Real will have to decide which of those 2 players is more important to them for the long-term vision of the team.
Real has so far been a team full of individuals but has played too little as a team and if Mourinho does not manage to change that and bring order to the dressing room, he will soon be a former coach.

Ararat Armenia managed to defeat Shamrock Rovers with goals scored in the second half. I didn’t expect Shamrock to lose this match, but they couldn’t even score a single goal against their opponent. Having diminished their chances of advancing, Shamrock will now need to win by a three-goal margin at home to move on.
Mjallby managed to win the match against Lincoln Red by scoring three goals within the first 30 minutes of the first half. Aki Samuelsen missed a chance to score a hat trick when he missed a penalty kick in the second half.

Wordcup is finally over and club competition are now start soon but I thinking about the Uzbekistan club which can surprise alot of big giant in this year UCl and they are qualified for the first time last time we see a Norway club surprised the whole European giant they knockout Manchester city they eliminate the finalists of UCL inter Milan . So I am not surprised if the Uzbekistan club do some magic because we see how Uzbekistan football federation are working to bring good football. I am Happy to see Uzbekistan club perform well and reach to the knockout stage.

I think things are a little different but who knows, never say never, the Norwegian team was already used to this stage and has always had an excellent game in the strait and at home they have always played visually very beautiful football, with a lot of technique and excellent play, i saw a lot of luck for the Uzbeks, we'll see if they manage to prove me wrong, i are ready to take it all back.
