Congratulations Fenerbahçe, you're back in the Champions League after so many years, It was a historic victory. The final minutes were terrifying, but thankfully, the match ended 2-1 without any major setbacks. Oğuz's attempts on the left wing paid off, and he delivered a fantastic cross to Vedat, who scored on both occasions. This season, Fenerbahçe is truly a different team. Fenerbahçe also had a penalty denied. Ederson couldn't do anything about Fofana's goal he sent it into the far corner at the most unexpected moment.

That was beyond my expectations. Congratulations also to Fenerbahçe, which has secured a spot in the Champions League after defeating Lyon.
My prediction: Lyon could advance to the Champions League after holding Fenerbahçe to a draw in the first leg with a strong performance. Strangely enough, when hosting Fenerbahçe in France, Fenerbahçe managed to play in a way that made them look as though they weren’t the away team.

They had 7 shots on target, compared to Lyon’s 6. Not to mention the total number of shots recorded throughout the match.
Kante, who served as Fenerbahçe’s balancing force, made it easier for wingbacks like Brown to maneuver into Lyon’s defensive zone.

After so many years and so many seasons they have finally been able to break this bad luck and go into the champions league. I think they werent in the champions league for almost 18 years or so if im not mistaken and today they beaten Lyon in an away game and finally joined the champions league. This is huge for their club and i think they can do a lot in this group phase with the team that they have.

Fenerbahçe really displayed great team defense and excellent positional discipline. they established complete tactical dominance, created numerous chances and were able to move and circulate the ball whenever they wanted...

Bodø/Glimt has been one of the most impressive teams of recent years. They had already secured their spot in the next round by defeating NEC Nijmegen away in the first leg.
Yesterday's match was essentially a formality.
An early error by the NEC goalkeeper made things even easier for Bodø. Bodø/Glimt extended their lead to 2-0 in the closing minutes of the first half but played a very relaxed game in the second.
They managed to score one more goal in the second half, winning the match 3-0. The Bodø players advanced to the next round without overexerting themselves.

I am pleased that we will get to watch Bodø/Glimt in the league phase.

Bodo/Glimt confirmed that they are a good team, they managed to pass the round with merit and putting in a good performance. The Nec goalkeeper made a big mistake, but they couldn't do anything against Bodo/Glimt, we'll see what they do in the next round.

They've been doing well for years now and I'm happy for them.

[bastisisca]

Bodo is slowly but surely catching up. We can say that Bodo is a nightmare for the big teams. They won the first match 3-1 and the return match 3-0 without conceding a goal. NEC Nijmegen's goalkeeper made a huge mistake; he came out of his goal and handled the ball, and the referee showed no mercy. Bodo might have shown mercy because there was plenty of time left, they scored three goals and looked ahead.

Let's say that this is a fairly predictable match. Last year Bodø/Glimt managed to give much better known and better prepared teams a run for their money. So it was difficult to expect any outcome other than this. Bodø/Glimt will do well again this year in the Champions League...
I remember well, last year break my Inter.

[Yabani]

We and Norway are the two countries participating with two teams each. I hope our teams get drawn against Bodø/Glimt and Viking. Last year, Bodø was drawn against Galatasaray and came to Türkiye.
I have a feeling we will be drawn against Viking.
I hope Fenerbahçe can replicate the performance they displayed yesterday in their other matches as well.

Galatasaray needs to make signings; this squad composition is not sufficient for the Champions League.
They no longer need to shape their moves based on Fenerbahçe's situation. Had Fenerbahçe failed to reach the league phase, the revenue allocated to them would have gone to Galatasaray; however, that scenario is no longer on the table.

Sabah first forced the match into extra time with a goal in the 90+4th minute, then scored two more goals during the extra periods to advance to the next round.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva finished the extra-time period with nine men.

The team that surprised me the most was Celtic. Despite winning the first leg 3-0 at home and taking a 1-0 lead in the return leg, they couldn't prevent the match from going to extra time after conceding a goal in the 90th minute.
I had thought Celtic would advance in extra time, but LASK Linz scored a goal and went through instead. It might not have been a massive shock, but I still consider it a surprising result.

I hope Fenerbahçe pulls off a surprise today as well. Even though Lyon is the favorite, I would like to see Fenerbahçe advance.
Asensio and Kerem will not be on the pitch. İsmail Kartal stated that they wouldn't feel the absence of the missing players; I hope everything turns out exactly as he said.

Yes, i too was surprised by Celtic in such a negative way, i didn't think they would be eliminated. LASK Linz did a great job and they deserved to go through. Fenerbahce's match against Lyon, who were favourites, didn't excite me much. However, Fenerbahce is a good team and Lyon too, i expected more entertainment.

Besides Fenerbahce managing to reach the main stage of the Champions League for the first time in 18 years, Viking also deserve to be mentioned, as they have reached the main stage of the Champions League for the first time in their history. I think this is an even bigger achievement worth highlighting. Honestly, I didn’t think they were capable of beating Dinamo Zagreb, but in yesterday’s home match, they showed that they can play very well in attack. Now we’ll see what they can do against more serious opponents.

Fenerbahçe needs to sign a left winger. if they are going to play in the CL and genuinely aim for the top level, they have to bring in a top tier player who can make an immediate difference if the budget allows.
three players Oğuz, Kerem, and Nene aren't bad but they are by no means CL level. they can only serve as rotation options.

Word, Viking really deserves to be mentioned! Fenerbahce always had solid teams and good chance to qualify they just didn't get it together for the past 18 years. But Viking, a club that I have never actually heard of, playing their first ever UCL season will be magical for them and their fans.
Obviously in several games they won't have chance against the big players but maybe they can be the next Cinderella story, just like Bodø/Glimt last season. It's always fun to see new teams upsetting some big corporate sponsored Dubai owned teams.

Why did you think that? Dinamo ZG is a club that is bad at all levels, be it players, management or coach. Realistically, they shouldn't have even reached this stage, because against Thun they were just lucky and nothing more.

[giorgione]

Not really surprised that Sabah Baku qualified for the league stage of the Champions League.
Since they beat KuPS I had them on my shortlist - but somehow still didn't back them for whatever reason

Also have no idea why or how Celtic got battered so hard in Austria.

Celtic played a match where they seemed to start well, or at least with the right input, but then it sort of went haywire.
I didn't expect a result like this, because i was convinced that Celtic would be able to bring home the result, but in the end football always makes you understand that not everything is predictable.

While we are waiting for the official champions league draw tonight, let have a little fun and prediction on the confirmed league phase pots.

We know the rules right? Each teams will be drawn against two sides from each pot and no same country opponents in the league phase. We have some new faces in the champions league this season as well like Como.

What are your predictions? Last season we accused Arsenal of having a free ride draws that saw them to the final.

I wasn't fast enough with this. The draw is underway!

[sokani]

As most of you are aware, Slovan Bratislava qualified for the Champions League, but what you don't know is who's managing the club.

It's Yaya Toure. Yes, Manchester City's ex-player. He has just made a name for himself as the first African to lead a team to the UEFA Champions League. It is his first job as a manager, and he's already doing very well. So far this season, he's been in charge of 10 matches and has won 8 and drawn 2. Yaya Toure had quite a succes as a player, and I hope he can go on to be successful too as a manager.

Champions League draw has just bee concluded in Monaco.
These are the teams that will meet each other in the league stage.
This will surely be an interesting year to watch UCL.

The draw has just been completed and I think the draw this time is quite even, because this is the initial stage of several large meetings immediately attracted attention such as:
Real Madrid: Inter, Arsenal
Barcelona: Man City, PSG
Liverpool: Atlético, Inter
Man City: PSG, Barcelona
Bayern: Arsenal, Atletico, Betis, Man United
PSG: Barcelona, Man City, Roma, Aston Villa

I can't wait for the group stage to start because the beginning of the competition will be very interesting based on the clubs pair. Maybe, we might see a different winner entirely from the previous clubs that have won the Champion League of recently.

I think, this is a good opportunity for Bayern Munich to win the Champions League this season because they have the players and quality. If they don't win it now that they're very strong, I wonder when they are going to win UCL.

[swogerino]

What happened to LASK, I thought the qualified after winning 5-1 against Celtic and I see Celtic now in the draw. Did something happened to LASK, like a disqualification or something like that because so far I have not seen any news regarding this but I will directly go to check Flashscore for any news on this. Very strange if something has happened at this level here, they qualified for the first time in their history of their football club which would be a really big shame for them to lose it because of some sort of rules or disqualification. I checked and for the moment I don't see anything so maybe a typo in the picture of the UEFA draw or something like that.

[Distraction]

Champions League draw has just bee concluded in Monaco.

This will surely be an interesting year to watch UCL.

I'm so excited about watching 2 Turkish teams in the league phase of the CL this year.    After the draw all I can say is that Fenerbahçe got a luckier one.

Because Galatasaray are going to face Barcelona (H) and PSG (A) above all else. Especially playing against the last champion away sounds really scary. I wish them good luck!

The fixtures aren't out yet but they will be announced on the upcoming days.

From my point of view, the PSG and Arsenal match is going to be the toughest. These two teams will have to face the toughest teams in the group stage. Out of the eight teams that Arsenal will face in the group stage, 6 teams are capable of challenging Arsenal. Lille and Real Betis cannot be neglected.

In the case of PSG, I would say that 7 out of 8 teams are capable of challenging them. PSG's victory against Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, Aston Villa, Roma, Galatasaray, Villarreal and Como cannot be said to be certain. Anything can happen in these matches.

Although there are some tough matches for the rest of the teams, it is not difficult for them to survive in the group stage. They have got some opponents against whom it is not difficult to get 3 points. In the upcoming Champions League, we are going to see some exciting matches right from the group stage.

[Alpha Marine]

I can't lie, I really like this UCL format. We get to watch top teams play each other from the first week of the UCL. Barcelona will play Man City and PSG. Madrid will face Arsenal and Inter, Bayern will face Man United, Arsenal and Atletico.
And we would still see more top matches in the knock out phrases of he competition. I really like it.
Even the play off round are also very interesting. The big teams would still qualify like how it was previously, but it's more interesting.

Champions League draw has just bee concluded in Monaco.
These are the teams that will meet each other in the league stage.
This will surely be an interesting year to watch UCL.

This is last season's draws. Look at what you want to post before you post it. I was surprised at what I was looking at because this is not the draws I just watched.
