UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

Moreover, I don't think Mourinho is playing defensive football to sign more defenders. If you have watched Real Madrid games since last season, they need more defense to prevent their opponents from scoring goals. Because they have good attacking players in their squad. Lack of a defensive player has been affecting them for the last two seasons. We'll see what happens next season.

If Real Madrid took Mourinho back there is a reason, they still trust him and think he will lead to victory. Of course he hasn't done so well in recent years, but now he has Real Madrid and he has champions. If he also makes mistakes against Real Madrid i think he won't have any other chances. It will be a good challenge for him and we will see how he behaves.

Mounrinho is good and experience manager, he may do well nobody know yet till the season starts, I can see that many expectation on Mounrinho already and this will give him many challeneges, if he is unable to deliver the expected result.

Real Madrid has a good squad, and as Y'all said before that mounrinho is not going to play with only star players but players who are going to make sure they win trophies, not the ones who are looking for personal achievment. Let see what Mounrinho will do when the season starts.

Greenwood and Talisca's goals were excellent, and Fenerbahçe won the first leg 2-0 thanks to them. Securing such an advantage in the return leg in Istanbul was crucial. Fenerbahçe will use this advantage in the second leg as well. Sturm Graz will want to win the match in Austria, but they will need to score at least 3 goals to advance. Currently, Fenerbahçe has a higher chance of progressing. Fenerbahçe has also assembled a very strong squad. I think they can get through the playoffs with this squad.

Sometimes I wonder why a brilliant player like Mason Greenwood will be playing for a team like Fenerbahçe because he's a stardom. He's no average player because he once played for one of the biggest club in Europe and we're talking about Manchester United. Greenwood is still very young and uprising, and we don't expect such talent to be playing for a turkey side except when he's aged enough and reaching the end of the football career, that's when he will decide to join the Turkish side.

I disagree. Osimhen also plays for Galatasaray. When players make those choices, nobody can criticize them. Weren't there young players who went to China and Saudi Arabia in the past? I think Turkey is in a better position than those leagues. Besides, Greenwood isn't the only one in Fenerbahçe's squad. They have many quality players. In the past, Anelka, Alex de Souza, and Quaresma also chose Turkey when they were young and in their prime. Considering the money he will earn and his position in the team, I think Greenwood didn't make a wrong decision.

In yesterday's Champions League qualifying matches, Fenerbahçe secured a 2-0 victory, giving them an advantage for the return leg. A draw away from home would mean a crucial match for Fenerbahçe, who will face the winner of Lyon-Sparta Prague. Sparta Prague won their first match 2-1 against strong French side Olympique Lyon, gaining an advantage. A one-goal lead is always risky, and the return leg in France will be difficult for them. However, if they can maintain their first-leg advantage, they can advance to the next round.

In the Fenerbahçe-Sturm Graz match, I believe Fenerbahçe will advance. I think they will win in Austria and qualify. They already dominated their opponent in the game; their opponent couldn't do much. As for their opponent, I think Olympique Lyon will eliminate their opponent in France and become Fenerbahçe's next opponent, and Fenerbahçe will compete against Olympique Lyon in the next match to qualify for the Champions League. In previous years, they faced Lille at this stage and couldn't advance. This time, if Lyon comes, they absolutely must advance.

I wonder why most football fans are looking down on the Turkish league as if top players are not plying their trade there. The only difference between the Turkish league and other top European leagues is lack of finance, because if the clubs there is as rich as real madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United Chelsea, PSG and other top European teams, they will be up there with the rest competition every season, and Galatasaray is a testament of that fact.

Greenwood going to fenerbahçe is not a bad choice because you will only go to a club you are welcome or wanted, so since fenerbahçe wanted him just as he wanted the move, it is not a bad decision as most of us are looking at it.

We can safely say that Dinamo Zagreb secured its place in the next round in its home game against its opponent. With Dinamo Zagreb scoring a total of 5 goals against Kauno Zalgiris, no one would expect them to lose the series at this point. By scoring two goals in the first half and three in the second, Dinamo Zagreb put an end to their opponent’s strong run. We can say that the second leg will now be played merely as a formality, because I don’t think either team will be able to make a comeback from this deficit.

Dinamo Zagreb has indeed become a regular contender, consistently qualifying for the UCL. it’s very rare for them not to qualify. So, even in this third qualifying round, I was confident from the start that this team would defeat its opponent. especially since the opponent was Kauno Zalgiris which I feel is clearly below Dinamo Zagreb’s level.

However there was one match that surprised me, Union Saint-Gilloise vs. Bodo/Glimt. i thought Bodo/Glimt was a team capable of pulling off an upset, just like last season. Still, My expectations have dropped a bit now. Last season, this team made it to the Round of 16 in the UCL, but I doubt they can do the same this season.

Yes, in recent seasons, Dinamo has regularly qualified for the group stages of European club competitions, the Champions League or the European League.
In the last round, they had big problems with Thun, the champion of Switzerland, and won only after a big and dramatic turnaround, 3:2.
Kauno Zalgiris is still not at their level and after this great victory, Dinamo can already start preparing for the final round of qualifications and the match with Viking, the champion of Norway, which will be a much harder test for the Dinamo players.
Bodo/Glimt is actually in a very good situation, they played very well in a difficult away game against the champions of Belgium and have an excellent result, 3:3, and we know that they are much more dangerous and better on their own field, so I actually think that they have a very good chance to go further, to the final round of the Champions League, where they would play against Olympiacos or N.E.C.

Seeing what PSG achieved last season, it has made many people believe they can win the Champions League trophy for the third time this season. While it's not entirely impossible, it won't be easy for PSG either, as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and many more big teams are also preparing to win the trophy. So far, they have streamlined their squad and will recruit new players. Enrique is truly preparing them for the next trophy. But whether this squad is capable of competing for the Champions League trophy remains to be seen. If PSG is able to win the trophy once again this season, it will be a historic achievement for them.

I think all the big teams know that currently the team to beat for the Champions League is Paris Saint-Germain. And i also think that Real Madrid doesn't want to have any other team on its equal with the record of three consecutive Champions Leagues. Consequently, he will work even harder to prevent the Parisian team from achieving this result.

A draw away from home would mean a crucial match for Fenerbahçe, who will face the winner of Lyon-Sparta Prague.

However, if they can maintain their first-leg advantage, they can advance to the next round.

Fenerbache used the best opportunity they had to win against Sturm Graz, home advantage is very important, and scoring two goals in the first leg can help them in the second leg of the match, Sturm Graz is a very strong team in their league, and i am very confident that they will give Fenerbache a tough game in the second round of the game because Sturm Graz will be playing at home, every team is always happy to play at home because of the fans that are going motivate them.

With the two goals lead, i believe Fenerbache will qualify to the next round, but they must to defend well, scoring opening goal in the second round is going to help Fenerbache to finish the game. Greenwood scored his first goal for Fenerbache, and he deserves to start every game club plays, he has proven that he can help the team to win a trophy.

Mourinho won't be able to do anything. The only thing he'll do, and the best thing he's done lately, is get fired and collect compensation. I think Real Madrid is the last stop for him.
I don't think he'll see the end of the year.
If a club like Real Madrid had insisted on Alonso, they would have restructured this year and dominated many trophies for many years to come, but they didn't.
Alonso left the team because of a few players.
If Alonso succeeds at Chelsea this year, Real will realize how big a mistake they made.
The expected success won't come with Mourinho. He's someone whose career is in great decline.

[Yabani]

Fenerbahçe played very effective football yesterday, conceding almost no scoring chances.
The fact is, the average age of the players on the pitch yesterday was 30.
In contrast, Sturm Graz's average age was 23.
In one instance, the combined age of the two players double-teaming Kanté was equal to Kanté's own age.
My point is this: Fenerbahçe has an aging squad. That average needs to come down to the 27–28 range. It is impossible to succeed in the Champions League with an average age of 30.

[aipercoin]

Yes, the result of this match was predictable because Dinamo was a clear favorite.
However, I didn't expect such a big 5:0 victory after a very difficult match that Dinamo had in the last round with Thun.
Obviously, this will be a much easier opponent for them than the Swiss champion with whom they had a tough fight last week.
I'm a little surprised that Olympiacos did not manage to use the advantage of home advantage and beat N.E.C, now they will have a very difficult task in the return match.
Union and Bodo played a great match and here everything is obviously still open and completely uncertain.
I expected more from Lyon but Sparta will obviously be an unpleasant and difficult opponent for the French club.

They are all very complicated games, it is difficult to actually establish who will emerge victorious. Of course, on paper there are always the strongest teams, the favorites and those who have, no, an actual gap from their opponent. But on the field a match lasts ninety minutes and the ball is open to everyone. So you always have to wait until the final whistle before decreeing the result, which in this case the result was truly extreme 5 goals, they practically dominated the pitch, they didn't make them move at all.

Being a major club playing in the French Ligue 1, I think Lyon football fans must be very disappointed with their team performance yesterday, as this was also the first time in history that Lyon had lost to Sparta Prague. Frankly speaking, I think Sparta Prague are not a tough team to handle with the qualities of players in Lyon squad but Corentin Tolisso failing to score from the penalty spot yesterday truly cost Lyon the game and Lyon would have to play much better in the second leg of the game at their home stadium if they wish to stand a chance to qualify for the Uefa Champions League.

Lately we have been hearing about many negative records from high-level teams who are not doing very well in this historical period. Juventus too, as a big team that achieved a series of negative results last year, and the previous year too. Same thing with Lyon, you can almost say that Lyon is the French Juventus.

Fenerbahce vs Sturm Graz today and in theory it should be an easy win for Fenerbahce as they usually enjoy playing Austrian teams but to heightened the nerves of this clash is the fact that Fenerbahce has not been playing in Uefa Champions League since the distant season of 2008/2009. They should be calm and should not comfort themselves that no matter what happens here they will be playing in group stages of Europa League. They should go all in for the win as I am sure they can't stand another elimination here.

In this type of match, the thing that can screw the players the most is tension, while Sturm Graz is a team that will probably play with a slightly more relaxed, slightly more open mentality. Fenerbahce, knowing that they have not participated in the Champions League for some time, will play with that tension and that thought of not wanting to disappoint the fans, club, coach, etc..

I don't know if you're aware, but the match is over. Fenerbahçe won 2-0. We don't know what will happen in the return leg, but I think Fenerbahçe won't give up after this score. Unless they suffer a major disaster in Austria, they will get a good result there and advance to the next round. Who will their opponents be in the next round? Sparta Prague on one side, Olympique Lyon on the other. In the first leg, Prague managed to win at home. Even though it's only a one-goal difference, Prague went to France with an advantage. Lyon, on the other hand, is a team that can easily close this gap at home. Fenerbahçe has the strength to eliminate both of them. I think Fenerbahçe will most likely qualify for the Champions League group stage from these matches.

[giorgione]

Statistically speaking it is unthinkable that Fenerbahce could lose the match it is true, but as you well know in football anything is possible, being sure or almost sure of winning does not bring the victory home, but puts you in a comfort zone that could cost you dearly.
As simple as it may seem, it could come as a surprise, as usual I'm going against the grain and willing to place a victory over Sturm Graz.

Sturm Graz has already become a difficult team to face in Europe for a few years now. This is not to justify Fenerbahce, who should manage a match like this completely and calmly. However, Sturm Graz should still be given its merits, it wouldn't be strange to see it win.

Greenwood and Talisca's goals were excellent, and Fenerbahçe won the first leg 2-0 thanks to them. Securing such an advantage in the return leg in Istanbul was crucial.

First, is Fenerbahçe not a club? Second, is it not a good club? Have you considered the offers given to him by the club with the offers given by other clubs? Offers matter; that's their profession, so money matters as well. Besides, Fenerbahçe can be considered the second largest club in Süper Lig, the very next to Galatasaray, so trying his luck to help them switch the second position to the first position can't be a bad idea, as it would be his glory. The guy is also still young, he may still switch between more than 6 clubs before his football career is over.

[Altryist]

I don't know if you're aware, but the match is over. Fenerbahçe won 2-0. We don't know what will happen in the return leg, but I think Fenerbahçe won't give up after this score.

I think Fenerbahçe will most likely qualify for the Champions League group stage from these matches.

I think this win against Sturm should be enough for Fenerbahce, even away, because they played very well defensively. And I think if they can score another goal away, and I think that's entirely possible, then it's all over for Sturm. As for their potential opponents, Sparta or Lyon, I think they can beat them too. And frankly, I thought Lyon could beat Sparta, or at least not lose away. Now Sparta has won at home and has obviously made Lyon's task more difficult, but I think it will be a completely different game in France, and I expect Lyon to face Fenerbahçe in the next round.

[Varnquister]

Aarhus managed to defeat Sabah in the first leg at home. Aarhus was the favorite in the first match at home and won without making any mistakes. After leading 1-0 at halftime, Aarhus extended their lead to 2-0 in the second half but conceded a goal just three minutes later, and the match ended 2-1. Aarhus will most likely be the team to advance to the next round. Despite putting up a good fight on the road, Sabah couldn’t even manage to come away with a draw.

Now Sparta has won at home and has obviously made Lyon's task more difficult, but I think it will be a completely different game in France, and I expect Lyon to face Fenerbahçe in the next round.

I think everyone agrees on Lyon right now. They will definitely get the score they need to advance in France, with the home advantage, because they only lost 2-1. If Fenerbahçe eliminates Sturm Graz in the return leg, a great match-up awaits us. Because both teams will have good players. Whichever team we face, I'm making this prediction thinking Lyon will be the opponent. The French have many quality players, and Fenerbahçe also has players like Kante, Guendouzi, Greenwood, Asensio, and Skriniar who know France very well. I think it will be a good match-up. If Sparta Prague is drawn, I think it will be a much easier match for Fenerbahçe. Because, in my opinion, Lyon is currently the stronger opponent.

And i also think that Real Madrid doesn't want to have any other team on its equal with the record of three consecutive Champions Leagues. Consequently, he will work even harder to prevent the Parisian team from achieving this result.

The champions league competition next season won’t be easy for PSG, because every team is building to make sure they win the champions league title. I don’t see Real Madrid winning the champions league title next season, even though they have signed good players, I still don’t see them lifting the champions league title however, if the coach do better then Real Madrid can have a chance to lift the champions league title. The new manager is a good manager but I still don’t believe he can help Real Madrid. Let see if he will prove me wrong.
