UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

When it comes down to it, I believe Real Madrid made the right decision in hiring Jose as their new coach because there will be a lot of changes, aside from the fact that Jose will not put up with any kind of disrespect. Jose seems to be the person that Real Madrid needs because, from the beginning, his personality will fit exactly what is happening at Real Madrid. This is why we believe he is the greatest man for the position, and now that they have a coach like him, we should not expect anything less from the entire team. I still trust Jose more than Ancelotti because he is a principled man. and even if we all are just anticipating we expect thing to go well actually because of the kind of attention this is drawing.

Attention aside, he needs to prove that he’s the best man for the job. If he’s not able to make Real Madrid better than they are before, then even the principle that he says he has will all become futile and not make any sense. He has a long time record and as long as he’ll keep to that record and maintain it during his stay at Real Madrid, he’ll be praised the more and with be cheered as the best man for the job at Real Madrid. A big change of play is expected from Real Madrid, and until he gets to prove his presence when the season begins, he’ll still remain a speculation of whether he’s going to do well for the team or not. Real Madrid has all eyes on them for the La Liga and Champions league trophy, let’s see how they can be able to achieve that.

Real Madrid is like Bayern Munich they can play good football even without a coach, Real Madrid has what it takes to win the Laliga tittle what they just need is to understand them self play with one mind and also a coach that the players can respect and do what they are ask to do and i believe Mourinho is that man that no player in Real Madrid will want to disrespect, i also believe that Real Madrid performance will increase more than last season but this doesn't implies that they must win all the tittle because they went trophyless last season but i don't see them going trophyless this season.

Perhaps this will be their best season to win the trophy. They want to surpass Barcelona by winning the Champions League, La Liga, and the Copa del Rey. And they're not wrong to think so, because last season ended without a trophy. For Real Madrid, not winning a trophy is a huge disappointment. This year they've brought in a good manager, and with Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid seems like the best team on the road to the championship. They just need to wait for the new players to fully gel together.

They can win the laliga title yes, but at this point Barcelona feels more like a well balanced team and has really high chances of not letting real Madrid have the laliga trophy
Altho I do agree with you in the of the fact that they can play well even without a coach, in such a situation they will still dominate their league, but at the moment they have a low chace of winning the laliga, not because they aren't good but simply because Barcelona is in a better position and has more balance to get it done. They are familiar with their team mate's, they are united, they have a coach they have been working with since and some other advantage about real Madrid

Definitely they are going to win something with Jose Mourinho, for the fact they've gone two seasons trophyless is already a huge embarrassment to the team name, so I trust they are winning something this season either the UEFA Champions League or the Spanish La Liga title this season, I don't expect them to win a treble but if it works out for them that way it's equally good, but I don't really expect a treble from them at least the league title or the UEFA Champions League title anyone of it is okay.

Dude one thing you need to understand is  that, no one can predict who yo win next or not, and it's too early to vouch for a team at this period. I believe that every teams are or must have adjust from thier last season's mistakes which they would not want it to repeat itself, Real Madrid are coming back stronger than before, so Barcelona will also be making an adjustment just to be more stranger. We'll if Real Madrid has gotten what they want or thier planed signing players, I believe everything will definitely change and make them stronger. But let's see how it goes when ut started.

[slapper]

Is there a way to bet on Mourinho having a conflict with Mbappe at some point during the first season?

They are both dictators and Mourinho had a beef with a celebrity player in almost every team he managed.

I think if the odds are good I could take that bet.

You just raised a nice point maybe, you should go check Polymarket to see if such kind of bet is already ongoing. Yea, there's every possibility that Mourinho might have issues with Mbappe but I don't think it will lead to any disrespect or conflict because Mourinho wouldn't mind putting him on the bench because controlling the dressing room was one of the major reason why Perez hired him couple with his experience.

I understand that Morinho is an expert in picking beef with a particular celebrity player in his team. But also he is not insensitive to players impact to his team. I don't think he will have any beef with Kylian Mbappe at least not in this first season because he understands how to utilise Mbappe for a better result. During his previous job at real Madrid, he was very focused on Ronaldo that he usually said that Ronaldo knows what to do and when to do it. He is a manager that believed that utility players who are result oriented don't need extreme restrictions which was why Ronaldo had one of his best career days under his leadership scoring 168 goals in 164 appearances with 49 assists and 19 Hatricks. He built the team around Ronaldo and he had his successful 3 years period winning the league too.

I think Mbappe is going to enjoy same treatment from Morinho due to his ability to convert every opportunity to a goal and his strength while on the pitch. If Morinho will have such beef in his first season, it will be against any other celebrity player who counters his position on the Kylian Mbappe's role in the team. Morinho loves goals and prolific scorers so he will maintain a good relationship with Mbappe. Mbappe too looks very optimistic to work with the manager which shows how adaptable they may easily be when the season starts. Just like the media saw José Morinho's coming to meet Ronaldo as a battle of two biggest egos and got disappointed, same way his return would be because I strongly believe that Mbappe is about to have his best career experience under the new boss.

Bro, you said it right.

What actually happened with Ronaldo, however, is that Mourinho essentially made everyone in the team a Ronaldo delivery service. And i remember watching those Real Madrid games religiously, it was insane. All worked to get Ronaldo finished. Then, consider who he purchased this summer. Left back who defends. Defensive midfielder who presses. A right winger who tracks back. He is doing the exact same thing again, just for Kylian.

And Mbappe just came off a World Cup where he was the best player on the planet. Golden Boot. Ten goals. He is not arriving broken or unsure. He is coming to the job with a hunger and a confidence.

I simply feel this may be the season for Mbappe to be undeniable even to his haters. Like fully, completely, no-argument undeniable. The system that Mourinho's building? It is made for exactly how Kylian plays.

They've listed Fenerbahçe as the favorite and are offering odds of just 1.63. That's really low for an away game in Graz. It's definitely not worth the risk. No one except die-hard Fenerbahçe fans would bet on this match at those odds. Maybe if it was over 2.00 odds I'd say let's try.

We saw in the first game that Fenerbahçe played very well finish the match without conceding a goal but that wasn't because their defence is super though. Goalkeeper Mert Günok isn't exactly inspiring confidence anyway. The atmosphere for this match will be completely different. Fenerbahçe has a strong offense, but their defense isn't flawless.
I think Fenerbahçe will advance but it wouldn't be a surprise at all if Sturm Graz win by a single goal margin or if the match ends in a draw. I'd say don't bet on Fenerbahçe win at these odds.

But for now I feel it looks normal, my point is to see how dangerous Sturm Graz have always been for their home games I don't feel this is bad enough because the 1.6 has been very good in terms of odds especially looking now at the 1.6 odds it is still very variable even now I see the 1.83 odds for Fenerbahce in this match.

In addition, Fenerbahce are still clear favorites in this match due to the condition of their players who still look much better in terms of quality than Sturm Graz. There are some players who have quite a good experience there but Sturm Graz are also not easy opponents for their home matches.

I want to see how it ends here because I think this match is worthy on the other hand for another match that I think is worthy is Bodo against Union Saint-Gilloise. Their first Leg ended 3-3 and now Bodo are favourites for leg 2.

We'll if Real Madrid has gotten what they want or thier planed signing players, I believe everything will definitely change and make them stronger. But let's see how it goes when ut started.

Premature assumptions or judgments about one or two teams in different leagues are certainly inaccurate, as I don't think it's necessary to say that now, especially since the strengths of each team are still unclear at this point. So, it's better to wait for new breakthroughs from each coach so we can all see more surprises in the coming season. I also believe that competing in the Champions League next season will be truly challenging for any team, including Real Madrid.

[EarnOnVictor]

Real Madrid is like Bayern Munich they can play good football even without a coach, Real Madrid has what it takes to win the Laliga tittle what they just need is to understand them self play with one mind and also a coach that the players can respect and do what they are ask to do and i believe Mourinho is that man that no player in Real Madrid will want to disrespect, i also believe that Real Madrid performance will increase more than last season but this doesn't implies that they must win all the tittle because they went trophyless last season but i don't see them going trophyless this season.

Let's be hopeful that Mourinho's time in Real Madrid would make a difference, but we should not hype our hopes yet since the fundamental issue in the club has to be dealt with, which is not limited to indiscipline and tactical conflict between their star players. What I wouldn't accept is that "no player would want to disrespect Mourinho."  That was people said when Ralf Rangnick was coming to Man U, but was he able to instill discipline in the player? No! That means approach matter, and it doesn't work because the coach is disciplined, but it works because the coach is wise enough to connect with the players.

[LUCKMCFLY]

If i will bet on something like this, it won't be Mbappe, but rather Vinicius.

Remember the racist incident that happened when he was still the coach at Benfica. Mourinho supported his player, now he will be coaching Vinicius, i don't know how Vinicius and Mourinho will continue to live with what happened, something might spark the grudge if Vinicius still holds any against Mourinho. Mbappe is backed by Madrid, i doubt any conflict will happen.

It's possible, but not necessarily because of that incident. I think that clash was due to the emotions of the moment. Rather, I'd say they could have problems if Vini wants to do what he always does: enjoy his freedoms and liberties by taking advantage of his proximity to Florentino.

Remember that, according to some very reliable sports media sources, Vini was the one who encouraged Xabi Alonso's departure because of his closeness to the board and the president of Real Madrid. Mbappé goes, works hard, and performs well. If he does a good job, he deserves the full support of the board, and I believe he will become one of their favorites.

What I'm really hoping for is that no conflict arises within the Real Madrid dressing room. We don't need more drama; we need consistency and victories.

He has a long time record and as long as he’ll keep to that record and maintain it during his stay at Real Madrid, he’ll be praised the more and with be cheered as the best man for the job at Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti was the manager of Real Madrid, but after he left, a relatively young manager, Xabi Alonso, was appointed. The young manager was only 44 years old, so he had many disagreements with the players and probably could not manage the team with discipline. He had differences of opinion with several players at Real Madrid, so the results were not getting the expected results from the players and he was fired by the team management. I think the main problem may be that the relatively young and young manager could not manage the players in the upper ranking properly.

63-year-old manager Mourinho is quite mature and skilled and is probably the right person for Real Madrid. I also believe that he can bring the team the success they expect in the upcoming season.

No team can win a championship without a head coach; coaches are like commanders leading their troops.
Real Madrid has signed—and continues to sign—talented players, but will Mourinho be able to mold them into a cohesive team? Mourinho isn't the same Mourinho he used to be; he lacks his old spark. He drew attention last year with the performance his Benfica side put in against Real Madrid.
Even though José was a former Real Madrid manager, that specific performance impressed Florentino Pérez, leading him to bring José back to the helm.
In my opinion, this was a mistake.
We shall see what José achieves.
I still think they will finish the season without a trophy.

In his first season back as Real Madrid’s coach, Mourinho has indeed given Real Madrid fans great hope with the efforts he’s made during this transfer window. Mourinho has been fantastic based on everything we’ve seen so far.
Ralf Rangnick isn’t a coach who hasn’t proven himself, so his statement can be dismissed as just a passing comment. He didn’t know that when Ferguson stepped down as Manchester United’s coach, the hope of continuing what Fergie had built fell on Mourinho, but Mourinho didn’t want to betray Chelsea, so Manchester United’s choice at the time fell on Moyes.
Ralf Rangnick came to Manchester United—and what did he accomplish? Nothing.

Perhaps this will be their best season to win the trophy. They want to surpass Barcelona by winning the Champions League, La Liga, and the Copa del Rey. And they're not wrong to think so, because last season ended without a trophy. For Real Madrid, not winning a trophy is a huge disappointment. This year they've brought in a good manager, and with Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid seems like the best team on the road to the championship. They just need to wait for the new players to fully gel together.

Mourinho's experience with Madrid will also play a role how the team will play now that he is their manager, plus Madrid has always had good players, it's always been a matter of how these players were used to be able to give their best, Mourinho will know how to do that, Barcelona will be a major obstacle for them though so one thing they will need to do is to make sure they surpass Barcelona and also make sure they don't slack off in the champions league.

And then the season starts and we start to see real Madrid playing bellow expectation and we shift the blame to the coach after thinking that with the kind of players we have in the club that Madrid can survive without a coach. Madrid has always had good players from time past and we have even had several set of players that were and that are still better than this current players. they had better aura, better personality and better individual brilliance. instead of playing as a separate entity, they played collectively and won trophies. if this current set of real madrid stars can win trophies is going to depend on how well they harmonize

I understand that Morinho is an expert in picking beef with a particular celebrity player in his team. But also he is not insensitive to players impact to his team.

This is just the fact, Mbappe has ego and so does Ronaldo but Mourinho managed him perfectly and was very productive to him those days so I expect similar thing from Mbappe. Just as Mourinho know how important a player is he also knows how to set boundaries so they don't get carried away, this is what I like about Mourinho.

Mbappe is a good player and currently in top form so he will be a key asset to Mourinho and am sure he is already aware of that and his ego so the target will be to get Mbappe under his control and everything will be better.

I'm just of the believe that Mbappe will perform well under Mourinho and I don't think ego will collide at all. I am even of the believe that Mbappe will finally get to win the Balon Dor under Mourinho because if all should go well they are definitely going to win trophies and Mbappe will undoubtedly be the star in the team.

Since there are so many Turks in Austria, Fenerbahçe won't feel like they are playing an away game.
I didn't like the football they played in the Górnik match, but the team has shown significant positive improvement since then.
The team is playing quite well against Graz, but due to the squad's advanced age, signs of fatigue become very apparent after the 65th minute.
For this reason, the substitutes need to make a strong contribution when they come on.
The Graz team is very young. Although Fenerbahçe is the favorite to advance, it might not be an easy match tonight.
In terms of squad quality, Fenerbahçe is far superior.

They've listed Fenerbahçe as the favorite and are offering odds of just 1.63. That's really low for an away game in Graz. It's definitely not worth the risk. No one except die-hard Fenerbahçe fans would bet on this match at those odds. Maybe if it was over 2.00 odds I'd say let's try.

We saw in the first game that Fenerbahçe played very well finish the match without conceding a goal but that wasn't because their defence is super though. Goalkeeper Mert Günok isn't exactly inspiring confidence anyway. The atmosphere for this match will be completely different. Fenerbahçe has a strong offense, but their defense isn't flawless.
I think Fenerbahçe will advance but it wouldn't be a surprise at all if Sturm Graz win by a single goal margin or if the match ends in a draw. I'd say don't bet on Fenerbahçe win at these odds.

Fenerbahçe already won the first match, so they won't be playing offensively in this one. They might take a few more risks in the early minutes to try and score, but I'm sure they won't want to take too many risks overall. Their goal will be a draw; the team isn't fully ready yet, and any mistake they make could have very serious consequences.
I think the best bet for this match would be for fewer than 3 goals; if they don't make any defensive errors, the match will end with a maximum of 1 goal

I would bet he was given a credit for 2 full seasons. The squad is not the strongest currently to say the least and there aren't
many world class managers available at the moment.

Mourinho has the track record (including with Real Madrid many years ago) so it would be stupid to fire him after just a season without trophies, as long as he has the team's respect and they work hard on the pitch for him.

It's a bit the same as for Arteta, when last year he managed to come very close to various trophies without winning anything. Obviously you can't change a coach like that, also because it shows that you get very good with the team. Unfortunately my luck is also halved.

Mourinho can achieve the same results, therefore find excellent team play, but perhaps unfortunately not be able to win anything. Consequently, it would be wrong to let the coach go at that point.
