open for sponsor | UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[banana33]

Now, it is the turn of my own team, Beşiktaş, to take the field tomorrow.

If there is one thing Turkey is doing this year it is definitely becoming more competitive again. In fact, the various already strong teams at the top of the table in the Turkish championship are coming back to life in Europe too, thanks to prestigious signings and the desire for change.

Yes, the signings made are of high quality and well-judged, but I hope our clubs don't run into trouble soon due to Financial Fair Play regulations. Broadcasting revenues are woefully inadequate; we need to part ways with beIN Sports as soon as possible. Broadcasting revenues have been low ever since the Qatari group acquired beIN Sports, and the broadcast quality is poor, too.
There isn't enough sponsorship revenue.
Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray will generate revenue from the Champions League, while Beşiktaş will do so from the UEFA Europa League. If they secure good results, it will be a significant source of income for our teams.
The final transfers should be completed within the next two or three days. I am particularly expecting transfer moves from Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray.

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.

I think it was a great satisfaction for the team to beat a strong team like Lyon to enter the Champions League. Certainly after 18 years of waiting to be able to pass deservedly and in this way it certainly helps the morale of the team to better face the next matches.

We need both of our teams in top 24 to bring some really valuable points for our coefficient. One of them in a place between 9-16 and the other in 16-24 would be really good. 

I'm not even talking about top 8 because I don't see it realistic. The draw is a bit easier on paper for Fenerbahçe compared to Galatasaray. But even their job isn't that easy. Besides they are joining the CL after 18 years so...

I just watched the highlights of yesterday's LASK Vs Celtic. It seems like something snapped in the Scottish team after they scored the opener. Perhaps they mentally relaxed and assumed a 4-goal advantage means they are already there and there's no point in staying focused. They got incredibly sloppy and essentially gave away 2 goals by clumsy, careless passing near theirown penalty area.
To be fair, it could've been worse. The game could have ended 6-1 if LASK didn't miss the penalty in extra time.

LASK certainly also played a decidedly relevant match compared to their opponents, bringing home a KO. at a notable point level. So it can be said that she deserved her position. It will be a surprise to see various teams getting ever closer to the most prestigious competition in Europe.

Yesterday in the Champions League, Celtic did something completely baffling. After a crushing 3-0 home win, they managed to lose 4-1 away. But that's Celtic, and at least there were a lot of goals, at least some things were predictable. Today Lyon plays Fenerbahce at home, they played well away, didn't lose and I think they should win at home. Dinamo Zagreb has another match in Norway, against Viking. And unfortunately, they couldn't beat Viking at home so, it will be even more difficult to do so away, but I expect Dinamo Zagreb to score. I think it's possible to take Dinamo Zagreb's individual total over 1.

Celtic's result was quite unexpected given their 3-0 home win.

I was expecting a difficult match, but not with such a high risk. While as regards the match between Lyon and Fenerbahce, given that it ended with a draw in the first leg, this return match Lyon could have exploited the home fan factor, which we know, the French one, is very hot, but in the end they lost, Fenerbahce is quite convinced in moving forward.

Interesting!

FIFA knows what it is doing. 

Why don't we see Barcelona vs Arsenal soon? I want to see the outcome between those two teams.

Apparently, Arsenal and Barcelona are the teams to face the toughest opponent in the group. The La Liga Champions and the English Champions.

You probably want to write UEFA and not FIFA. I would agree with you if the draw was done manually but that's not the case.

I will love to see Arsenal and Barcelona play too but with the draw, it's not happening in the league phase. It can still happen as the competition progresses if both sides make it out from the league stage but that would happen in the knockout stage.

Arsenal draw is some kind of tight but I won't call it tough. Real Madrid, Dortmund and Bayern Munich are the serious and dangerous team in Arsenal draw. Arsenal played both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in this competition in the previous season and we saw how it ended. PSG has more tough draw than Arsenal in my opinion.

[bitLeap]

There are many interesting matches and bets for me to place. Especially for the big games Arsenal vs Real Madrid, Man City vs Barcelona and many more that almost all big teams meet in this phase. There is even a chance that some teams will have difficulties. Man United is one of those teams where against almost 7 clubs are in the category of difficult opponents.

Fenerbahce truly played very well against Lyon as they had managed to score 2 goals at the stadium of Parc Olympique Lyonnais in order to stop Lyon from qualifying for the Uefa Champions League. Lyon are an extremely tough team to beat whenever they are playing at their home stadium but this time Lyon had 2 of their goals disallowed by the referee due to VAR and I think the referee ruling out Lyon 2nd goal scored for offside was indeed brutal as it had denied Lyon a chance to bring the game into extra time.

Fenerbahce did a great job in qualifying, they had a strong opponent, Lyon are not easy to watch especially when they play at home. tru, they had 2 goals disallowed by VAR, they could have gone to extra time but just missed out. Fenerbahce deserved to go through.

[verdinio]

Fenerbahce deserves to celebrate tonight because they had an impressive performance against Lyon away from home, they wanted this qualification so badly and they went all out for the game, pressured their opponent so hard until they got the break through and took advantage of it to score, they increased the goal to 2 and managed to hold it until the final whistle. They have broken that bandage of nkt being in the champions League and they will be so happy same thing with their fans who had missed their performance in the big stage now they wil have to go and prepare more for the task ahead which is to come out of the group stages.

Fenerbahce deserves to celebrate for the great feat they achieved. It's never easy to win against Lyon when they play at home. Now they will be able to play on the big stage of the Champions League, we'll see how far they get, they have a good team. They will have to do their best to continue winning or at least go as far as possible, i don't think they can win the Champions League.

UEFA president and the body did a great job in the Champions league fixtures,  there's no Champions match day we won't see big team playing against each other,  there won't be boring match day. Every big club has two fixtures of big tem in their slots,  expect an exciting games ahead, as Manchester united fan I'm happy we're back to the league we belong,  since 2023/2024  we haven't been in the Champions league,  we have to make a statement in this appearance,  by winning Bayern Munich at home,  that result will send good signal to the other opponents in the slot.

Fenerbacha is back 17 years since their last appearance in the Champions league,  Roma has also returned since 2018/2019 season,  we have new old faces in this year Champions League, Real Madrid and psg are my favorites to win tjks year Champions League,  Barcelona will do everything to fight for it,but they won't play the final. Arsenal is another great team too, Bayern Munich is also in the competition to win.

Big signs for the Turkish team this season. From Mohammed Salah, Fabinho, Ake, Greenwood to Trossard and Lukaku, and today Galatasaray is completing a deal for Rafael Leao. The champions of Turkey will be stronger in the Champions League. All thanks to the fight for growth. I think this season is shaping up to be one of the league's most interesting and competitive seasons in years.

It was a tough match for Fenerbahçe. They won the match and got a big prize, getting a chance in the Champions League is definitely a big achievement for them. It would be foolish to expect them to win the title, I think playing in the knockout stage will be a big achievement in the Champions League for them.
Fenerbahçe has tried hard to improve themselves, they have also signed star players like Lukaku in the team. With this team, they may do something good in the matches determined by the draw, they may have their name in the top 24 teams. There is a possibility of getting points in six of the first eight matches. They are capable of fighting against the rest of the teams except Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. I hope they have a good season.

two turkish teams, galatasaray and fenerbahçe, drew two completely different leveled matches. some accounts on x have calculated the difficulty of the teams’ draws, and even without looking at them, it’s clear that galatasaray’s draw is tougher. normally, galatasaray would have been luckier in these situations, but this time we can say things went fenerbahçe’s way.

while galatasaray was drawn against teams like psg and barcelona, fenerbahçe will face liverpool and atlético madrid. last season, galatasaray managed to earn points against the very teams fenerbahçe was drawn against. let’s see how fenerbahçe performs.

The referee's decisions were correct, Lyon is a really strong team, but Fenerbahçe played better. They took the right strategic steps and, thanks to the goals they scored early in the match, they qualified for the Champions League after many years
Turkish teams look strong this season; I think they will at least advance a few rounds and make a name for themselves in Europe. The quality of the squads has improved considerably with this year's transfers

[len01]

Celtic's result was quite unexpected given their 3-0 home win.

Celtic’s defeat is one of the clearest signs of a very fragile mentality.

I did not watch the match, but from the highlights, it was very clear that Celtic completely lost their composure after LASK kept putting them under constant pressure. What is even more surprising is that Celtic were not even able to put pressure on the home side in the second half. So, the away team truly deserved to lose that match.

i think the most critical factor for Turkish teams in this tournament will be securing wins against lower budget opponents. After that, pulling off a surprise point or three against stronger teams could even make a top 8 finish possible.

[Distraction]

I think the easiest draw among Pot 1 teams belongs to Liverpool. They can beat Atletico Madrid home and Inter away both. Actually exactly that happened last season as far as I remember. 

Porto looked great in their league last year with Farioli but I can't predict his CL performance yet. Playing against Fenerbahçe (A) might be tough due to a huge atmosphere just like it happened against Galatasaray (A) last season.

[Nightwatchmare]

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.

I watched the replay of the match. Kante intervened in every area, especially at crucial moments.
His interceptions made things much easier for the team. The events after the match weren't pleasant Fenerbahçe and Lyon may face penalties.
Regardless of wins or losses, matches should end amicably there's no need for such unpleasant incidents. Guendouzi may have acted excessively, but I don't know what happened beforehand; he wouldn't do something like that for no reason.

Is Kante a Fenerbahçe player now? If yes then Fenerbahçe did a major reform this season, and i believe Kante presence in the Fenerbahçe team helped Fenerbahçe win Lyon 2:1. Since Fenerbahçe played in 2008-2009 champions league, they failed in all their attempts to qualify for the champions league that made me to believe Lyon will knock out Fenerbahçe and deny them a qualification to the 2026-2027 champions league but i am not surprised as Fenerbahçe change the narrative this year because they signed quality players this season, i am happy for them.

Manchester city won't do well with maresca in the champions league and the signs are already evidence as it stands now. If things will change, he's got a couple of time to build his team right from the premier league but even at that, playing In the premier league for the sake of winning it is still the ultimate goal and dude can't focus on one at the negligence of another if he wants the right result for city. Facing PSG and Barca is already distabilizing for his career because the odds of him winning those kind of games is actually small.

Manchester City are not going through a good moment, it's also because they have a new manager. We shouldn't doubt Maresca already, they must give him time to work and he will be able to improve. The team is built to win the Premier League and also fight for the Champions League. We'll see what happens when he meets the strongest teams, we need to have a little confidence.
