I don't believe that will happen. Como are playing at home, while Leipzig have always struggled when playing away. I don't consider this first win enough to convince me that Como can continue to move forward. Just wait and see how Como perform against an EPL team or another popular club. If Como can remain consistent against Man United, PSG, and Barcelona, that's when I'll gladly admit that Como are a great team.

It was a good way to start their champions league campaign. I was unbelievable that they won Leipzig that way but at home I never doubted them at all, I knew how strong they were and how good they play but never thought they'd perform so well like this in their first champions league game. It's just the start, we can't conclude anything yet. We will see how they will perform against other opponents and when they travel away from home.

Against Manchester United I think Como can perform well especially when they are the home team. But against other top clubs I think we  have to wait and see the outcome, if they can challenge any top club they there will be much to say about them. All I just know is that Como is performing well currently but I don't expect too much from them in the champions league.

Because betting never goes the way you want it to. Sometimes it's luck, sometimes it's bad luck. The match between Roma and Fenerbahce was risky and it was not easy to predict Roma's victory, as in fact it wasn't. And it was also a balanced match, all things considered, with Fenerbahce not hesitating to attack when they could, despite a threatening press from Roma.

I think lot of bettor placed wager on Roma victory. After all the team had managed to secure win in three consecutive Serie A match. I could see they also hold top spot in league standing. Given the circumstance it was natural to consider Roma heavy favorite against Fenerbahce. However we didn't see any performance from them in this match that lived up to those expectation.

I would say Roma didn't put in their full effort in this game. I had also watched their previous match against Atalanta. Gasperini's squad played magnificently in that game. They managed to record total of 35 shot alongside 66% ball possession. In contrast they managed only 8 shot against Fenerbahçe. Roma likely has little interest in Champions League. It seems they want to focus entirely on Serie A title.

But against other top clubs I think we  have to wait and see the outcome, if they can challenge any top club they there will be much to say about them. All I just know is that Como is performing well currently but I don't expect too much from them in the champions league.

I also doubt their consistency in this competition, I feel they got that beginners luck thing in them that made them really want to top the competition and have their way to go far in the competition. They have really done well in their first game and all teams will be looking up to how they play against their next opponent which they also really want to do well like they did in the first one.

Looking up at their opponent in the next champions league game, they will have a hard time winning them not after what they’ve done to Leipzig. Their next opponent didn’t do well in their first game, so they’ll not allow Como to have a bigger chance on them in this encounter. Every team will be really careful and will improve their gameplay and not underrate them when they play with them.

[Just Say]

I believe that Como will be able to really move forward in this Champions League because what they are doing can no longer be defined as a miracle by a team.
It is a team that has now become a big team in Serie A too, because it is a team that does not fear the others, that knows how to play excellent football and that has young people who want to make a difference and who know how to do it. So a truly beautiful team and I'm happy with the results they are bringing.

Fabregas has made the team fierce and bold that they don't care if they're playing with a big team or not. They always try to put in their best to enable them win the game. Any club in the Champions League shouldn't be underestimated because they're also future champions. Como will have to win big teams in order for them to survive in this competition. Anyways, I'm not expecting much from them but a surprise from them.

He has truly succeeded in taking this team a long way, as we can see their hunger for victory; indeed, the team has already made a flawless debut in the UEFA Champions League. To be fair, the Italian club Como had never participated in a UEFA tournament before, yet they played impeccably against RB Leipzig in their opening Champions League match—demonstrating that their manager, Fabregas, has instilled a fearless and courageous spirit in the squad.

We all saw that Como finished fourth in the Italian league last season, managing to win 20 matches; furthermore, they remain unbeaten in the current season, so it can undoubtedly be said that the team is still in top form. Como won their first UCL match 4-1; although Nico Paz did not score, he provided two assists, suggesting the team will likely be favorites to win their next UCL match as well.

First impression is very important, Como has already won their first match in the UCL games, that should be an eye opener that this team didn't come to play few matches and get eliminated. Maybe if they meet Barcelona they might not win them but you see the other teams you mentioned, Manchester United and PSG, don't be surprised that Como can win them especially Manchester United. Como's win against Leipzig is not convincing enough that they will move with same pace but let's praise them for the match they won why anticipating their results from other future matches.

From the performance of Como in the Serie A last season, I knew they will be up to something in the Champions League because they fought so hard to make it to the top 4 and qualified for the for the UCL games. We should also recognise the experience of Cesc Fabregas in the change he brought to the team because for a team that was promoted to the Serie A in 2024 to reach this height within 2 years, it means that the coach really worked extra time to improve the team.

[DYOR+BTC]

For their first Champions League match, I think they did well, but they'll face the Manchester derby, and that will really test their consistency.

I think Manchester United faced the weakest team in the entire Champions League, or at least one of the weakest. In fact, the result was almost a given and I also expected a wider margin of goal difference. However, the important thing is to bring home the three points, which Manchester United managed to do.

But it is still too early to give any opinions on how United will approach this season, given they have not yet faced any truly strong rivals.
Is early for pretend they win something, just arrive to quarter is great goal.

Saying Manchester united faced the weakest team in the champions league this season is what a true hater of Manchester United would say because Manchester united where able to secure an amazing win in their first champions league game of the season,.before the start of the game people like you where fast enough to predict in favour of Manchester united’s opponent but at the end the opposite was the case and not only they, the win was in an excellent manner.  If you like criticise and call them all kind of names but truth is they have won and are preparing to do more than that in there next game.

It's crazy how two players decided to slide without either of them getting close to the ball. Barcelona are a team that will go far in this UCL but I hope they can maintain this drive thru started with. They need to work on their defense as well because it's not every team that's supposed to score against you. The only strong tactics Barcelona has in defense is to keep a high line and when you break past it, it's trouble for them.

They were only trying to defend   , it's just happen to be coincidence that they slide at the same time and don't  forget it was raining and the field was slippery making it even more embarrassing for a side but adding more ego to another side  

It wasn't about the defense anyway, they just didn't  get the tactic. Their manager seem to have been claiming they've studied their style indirectly until Barcelona  came with a surprising attack .

[nelson4lov]

With how AS Roma played last season and seeing them maintain such performance this season I was hoping AS Roma to win Fenerbahçe after but I wasn't surprised as the Fenerbahçe vs AS Roma match ended in a 1-1 draw because home advantage helped Fenerbahçe to held AS Roma. Had the match be played in AS Roma home ground nothing would have stopped AS Roma from beating Fenerbahçe. This is just the first round of this year Champions League so all the teams that lose or draw their match in the first round can still qualify to the round of 16 if they can win more of their remaining matches.

I haven't rated AS Roma in years. I don't even watch or bet on their games because on paper, they are Aston Villa or Chelsea (in recent years) in the premier league. Doesn't win the league, only does enough to stay in 3-7th place each season. Fenerbahce too is another team that lacks consistency. I honestly won't be surprised if any or both Fenerbahce or AS Roma is eliminated from the group phase because the champions league is a different ball game than what they usually experience in their respective leagues.

AS Roma, I can't even remember last time they were in a UCL semi final or quarter final.

When I looked at this picture, it makes me happy because of the clinical finish of Raphinha after he switched the ball to the left and the both defenders got lost before he scored. I think Raphinha is underrated at Barcelona, he is not being giving the visibility that he deserves, maybe it's because everyone pays attention to Lamine Yamal more that is why they don't discuss about the impact of Raphinha in the team. I have watched a lot of Barcelona games where Raphinha saved the team. The combination of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha makes Barcelona a perfect squad and I wonder what the team would have been without both players. The strength and impact of both players cannot be overestimated. I know they played against a small club Feyenoord but with the energy that Barcelona showed, this season's Champions League games will be different from how they played in last 2 seasons. I expect them to reach the final.

Personally, i think Raphinha is more impactful in Barcelona than Lamine Yamal. Even if in the end both manage to be useful to the team in almost the same way, because they attack on the two flanks, creating numbers and scoring. So i wouldn't say that one is stronger than the other or that one deserves to play at Barcelona more than the other. But it is true that Raphinha currently has less attention on him.

Well, right now Raphina is playing a key role at Barcelona like after the departure of Robert Lewandoski now Hansi Flick has handed the role number 9 to him. To be honest he is contributing that position as the same level of Lewandoski because if we look at the scored sheet then probably he is on top like in 5 matches he scored 8 goals. Even in UEFA champions league competition he has 2 goals in 1 matches which is I think quite excellent.......

In my opinion this season Barcelona will need Raphina more than Lamin Jamal. I am not saying that Lamine is not necessary but honestly Raphina is playing a goal scorers role for his team. Hansi Flick is also keeping a eye on his health quarries like if we look at the previous match then probably Raphina want to scored a hattrick but Hansi Flick subb him off because of injury suffer. He is the only man to play the number 9 position.

[LUCKMCFLY]

because barcelona has been so strong in recent matches, their chances of winning the champions league have increased. i can see that this is reflected in the betting odds as well. in my opinion it makes sense to bet on teams that are likely to advance to the round of 16 and the quarterfinals from the start of the season, because once they reach those stages, the value of your bet increases. you might even make a small profit. after all it’s highly unlikely that the top tier teams won’t make it into the top 24.

Barcelona is doing really well, both in La Liga and the Champions League. Remember when Barcelona beat Feyenoord by a landslide? Even though the team looks solid, they haven't reached the knockout stages of the Champions League just yet. There's still a long way to go in the tournament. One of the things I'm most excited about is their upcoming match against PSG that's where I want to see their true level. It's going to be a massive match to test how much both teams have improved and which one is better prepared.

On the other hand, you can never write off Real Madrid. They're a team that constantly grows as the season goes on. Maybe they aren't generating as much hype right now as Barcelona, but I'd definitely keep a close eye on them.

AS Roma of ten years ago is totally different from AS Roma of last season and this season that was why they were able to be among the Serie A teams to play in the Champions League this season. I didn't also watch AS Roma last season but I bet on them and they made me win my bet on several occasions. Fenerbahçe and AS Roma teams aren't good enough to compete with some teams in the Champions League, so I won't also be surprised if they are eliminated in this round.

Tough matches await both teams, but I believe both can make it into the top 24. Roma, in particular, will likely be the favorite in their home games. Even though Fenerbahçe wasn't extremely effective against them, they did create a few clear cut chances. If Roma improves a bit defensively, they will certainly secure a spot in the top 24. Since they haven't suffered a defeat yet, there is no need to be overly pessimistic.

[Africolo]

Wow, you lasted a couple of days before making a thread about the next season? 

Ousmane Dembele said they are going for the 3rd one next season, I know that PSG are the best team in the world right now but I don’t believe or think they will lift the champions league title next season, they lifted the champions league this season by luck, and the reason why I said they won by luck was because penalty is a game of luck and they won the champions league by penalty, next season any team that will meet them in the final will win them that’s if they will even make it to the final again next season.

Does Dembélé think he'll be signed by Real Madrid? Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season, it's simple math.
As for Dembele, this season he is not at all the same as last season, I wouldn’t make any big statements if I were him. It's too early to talk about next season as this one isn't over yet and the main event is ahead - the World Cup, but I wouldn't consider PSG as the main favourite next year, they'll probably be third after Real Madrid and Bayern. And that's mainly because they can pull off tricks with rescheduling Ligue 1 games.

I don't think real Madrid will go for Dembele next season because they have big team players like Mbappe and vinicious junior in their front line though Dembele has being pragmatic and very good but I don't see the possibility of him moving to real Madrid if he has made a statement that they are coming for the third one which is a good and positive thought to the game and I also admire their performance for last season even though they use some tricks in playing the champions League matches by postponing their league games so they can rest and concentrate on the champions League.

Barcelona is another top team to look out for when it comes to the champions League even as they haven't won it again for years now but they are also preparing very well as they look forward to winning it too so we shouldn't just limit the winning to real Madrid and underrate other teams playing in the champions League.

I'm not sure it is As Roma you are actually talking about because they are among the best team in Italian Seria A so saying they are totally different is what I don't really understand because they use to do well just that they have not been great back then. Well they are really inform this season they won almost all their games this season and I'm sure if not for the fact that Fernabàche is strong they would have won the game perhaps it is because they played away.

LOL, it's been more than a decade ago when I see AS Roma become one of the great team in Serie-A to compete for the title race, the best achievement they made when winning Conference Cup with Mourinho, if not get that award, i think i forgot the last time they are get title for the club. and now even they are going to UCL, they wouldn't be great as Inter Milan did. So, if they are different i agree but different with their strength decade ago.

Barcelona are doing well but that does not mean they have a good chance in the long run considering that the toughest competitors are still the same for the champions League, that is PSG, do not release him from your record to bet at the beginning of the season if you want.
As usual we will pay attention to Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and one more from the English Premier League that counts is Arsenal, among them the Champions League Cup this season will be given.

It is still too early, but for those early season bettors to determine who the champion will certainly be interesting to discuss this, maybe you expect Real Madrid to be a real big threat in the current season?

As you said, it is actually still very early days. Only the first round of matches has been played, so we can say that nothing is decided yet. We still expect the teams considered favorites to advance smoothly finishing within the top 24 or even the top eight to the next stage of the Champions League. There have been great matches, and some sensational results were recorded in the opening round. The victories achieved by Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, in particular, were highly significant, they demonstrated that the competition in the Champions League will once again be fierce this season.

Nobody is doubting that AS Roma is not one of the top teams in seria A. I didn't dispute that. What I meant was that in recent times, they have come short a couple of times.

They finished 3rd last season
5th in 2024/2025 season
6th in 2023/2024 season


That's why I said they only do enough to remain in 3rd to 7th position. Never enough to challenge for title (seria A or UCL)

Maybe if they meet Barcelona they might not win them but you see the other teams you mentioned, Manchester United and PSG, don't be surprised that Como can win them especially Manchester United.

So, do you also believe that Como can beat Manchester United and PSG? It seems like you are a Como fan. 

I don't know whether my feeling is right or wrong, but Como will not be able to beat MU and PSG easily. Besides that, squad quality and experience will play a really important role here. But it seems like you are ignoring all of that.

Como's win against Leipzig is not convincing enough that they will move with same pace but let's praise them for the match they won why anticipating their results from other future matches.

No, I will not praise Como for their win against Leipzig. Instead, I will praise you for having such high confidence in Como's future in the UCL.

Oh so you said Como won't be able to beat Man United and PSG easily which means that even you yourself has a feeling that Como may likely win except you don't understand the interpretation of what you just said. Yes, I'm a fan of Como because of their performance in the Serie A last season but it doesn't mean they are my favourite club. I'm a fan of any team that plays good football.

Como's win against Leipzig is not convincing enough that they will move with same pace but let's praise them for the match they won why anticipating their results from other future matches.

No, I will not praise Como for their win against Leipzig. Instead, I will praise you for having such high confidence in Como's future in the UCL. 

Lol, you are just a funny person. Whether you praise me or Como, it doesn't change what I said about them so learn to praise a team that is doing well. It must not necessarily have to be the team you support. Leipzig has more Champions League appearances than Como, they were supposed to be the favourite but that wasn't the case.
