UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Daniel91]

As the host, inter Milan failed to defeat Arsenal. Inter only managed to score 1 goal, while Arsenal scored 2 goals. Arsenal's 1-3 victory kept them at the top of the table and now they are even more comfortable in 1st place. Arsenal's victory over the host was a great achievement, and arteta created a good formation in that match, which caused Inter's players to lose. However, fortunately, I favored Arsenal to win in the bet, but unfortunately, only a small amount of money was placed on the bet, so the profit wasn't significant. In my opinion, Arsenal is now comfortably at the top of the standings, and even if they were to lose in the upcoming match, they would still be in a safe position as they will advance directly to the Round of 16. In the Round of 16, we will see tougher competition, and it will definitely be very exciting. Arteta now needs to improve arsenal's performance to make them play even better, and he must certainly devise a strategy to prevent key players from getting injured

Truth to be told Arsenal are in a perfect form this season, they might actually win this Champions League if they continue to play like. The teams that Arsenal often play in the premier league usually sit back in order to defend their set piece but in Champions League most teams don't sit back at their defense. Arsenal main tool is their defense and that set piece, and they have used to beat big teams in Europe. Taking that 1st position has given them much advantage, now all second leg they play will be at their home till semi final, that is a very good advantage and they can capitalize it properly, they might be in the final.

Truly Arsenal have been in a very impressive form this season dominating both the premier league and the champions league but somehow I still have my reservations on them winning both, they might eventually win one but two is yet to be seen. If they eventually win more than one or even one the Joy it’ll bring to all Arsenal fans around the world and the players will be too much. For their many attempts and no results it’ll be a truly remarkable achievement more than that of Paris St Germain cos PSG were winning League titles and cup before the UCL.

I think all true fans want this to finally be Arsenal's year, when, after many unsuccessful attempts, they win the Champions League and also the English league.
Arsenal is really dominant in both competitions at the moment, but it is still too early to declare them main favorites.
The group stage of the Champions League is much easier to play, the pressure is not as great as in the knockout stage because you can play a weaker game and lose, and still continue the competition.
The knockout stage is a completely different story, the pressure is much greater, teams do not have the right to make mistakes and have a weak game, and Arsenal players do not have as much experience in such situations as some other, more experienced teams, such as Real, Bayern, Manchester City or PSG.
It is always the hardest to win the Champions League for the first time, which was seen in the examples of PSG and Manchester City.
Arsenal will have to rotate players a lot in all matches and rest key players in order to endure this difficult season to the end.

I'm not blown away by Inter's result, Arsenal played well on that no doubt about it.
Inter couldn't keep up, it was predictable in fact even if with a truly ridiculous odds I placed the bet on Arsenal and won some money.
But the greatest satisfaction was in the 84th minute, the third goal.

[Uhde]

odo/Glimt pulled off a huge surprise. City were the big favorites for this match, but Bodo played better football. Hogh, in particular, doubled his market value last night. He scored two goals and played very effectively. I wouldn't have expected such a poor performance from Donnarumma on the first goal, but it seems the extreme cold weather may have affected him negatively. Rodry was sent off after receiving two consecutive yellow cards. Cherki's goal was just a statistic for City.

In the final week, City will focus more on the Galatasaray match and will definitely be aiming for a win.

True. and if Bodo was a bit luckier, Pep could have had the biggest loss of his career. A goal cancelled by a tiny offside, a shot hitting the post, missed few one on ones... Bodo missed a historic win. It could have been a legendary score in Champions League history.

There was actually a rotation by Arteta in the lineup as I predicted. Like nearly the half of the lineup I should say. But this still wasn't an obstacle for them to get this score. 3-1 is just too much...

For Inter I mean. They were really disappointing. I thought they'd see a chance there and go for the win even. By the way 7/7 by Arsenal now and I see it 99% to make it 8/8 in league phase as their last match is too easy against Kairat. 

[Alonso_]

Surprisingly, last night, Manchester City was truly embarrassed by a team like Glimt. Because in this match, Manchester City had to admit Glimt's greatness because they had to lose with a fairly flashy score of 3-1. I also don't know why Manchester City's performance could be like this, because basically in this match, Manchester City's players looked quite promising. Because in this match, Manchester City also played with their full main squad, so they should have been able to win this match.

But strangely, everything turned out to be the opposite, because even though in this match Manchester City really dominated the course of the match, but they were unable to capitalize on all of that well. Instead, they always made mistakes when Glimt players counterattacked, which ultimately gave Glimt an advantage. So, I personally quite regretted this result, because currently, in my opinion, Manchester City's position is threatened to be shifted and out of the top 8. Because the teams below them currently do not have a big difference in points.

There's nothing surprise from City's lose. Mine as a City fans very disappointed with the way they played. There's no improvement happened since MU's game. Look at the picture huge domination in possession, but always unable to score. Their entire tactical set up was literally doomed when all of players were failed to implement it. Imagine playing a high line, combined with huge possession, but not press to their opponent. They simply gave opposition space to counter attack and scored. Too many side ways and back wards passes. At this point they will out of UCL at the knock out stage with that kind of gameplay.

It was a very disappointing game from Manchester City, I must say there is something absolutely wrong with Manchester City the way they are dropping points is absolutely disgusting how can you be loosing a game like that against Bodo/Glimt I wouldn’t say that they are a very strong team, but they seems to be a very strong team at home, but the manner which Manchester City lost that game is totally unacceptable.

I was expecting Manchester City to win this game comfortably, I don’t know if I will say it’s the Manchester City defense that is awful right now, but I must say that Manchester City looks like a terrible team after all, they I will also have to think that Manchester United beating Manchester City there was nothing special in that considering that Bodo/Glimt also beat this same Manchester City.

Bodo/Glimt had historical victory against Manchester city in the UEFA champions League after there defeated Manchester city 1-3. The outcome of this game  raise concerns about pep guardiola future at Manchester city and also if Manchester city could defeat Bodo at home to move to the next phase. Manchester city beats Bodo by ball possession but games aren't won by possession alone but by goals because it is what determines a victory in football

In fact, Bodo/Glimt played very cautiously when they were already leading by 2 goals in the first half; they only thought about how to maintain the victory rather than trying to increase it, and I think that's reasonable for a team that was not previously favored, but Bodo/Glimt caused a big surprise.

I'm not blown away by Inter's result, Arsenal played well on that no doubt about it.

Congratulations on winning your bet, and I must admit you were very brave to bet on Arsenal's victory even though they were playing away. I didn't dare to bet on Arsenal's win, and it ended up being a regret.

And it must be admitted that Arsenal's performance was very good. Inter Milan had given a very significant resistance, yet Arsenal was too dominant, so Inter couldn't do anything in front of their own supporters.
Now more and more people are confident that Arsenal can win the title. What do you think?

I was very worried about the result of the match. Because Arsenal have been going through a bad time for a few days. Their last matches in the Premier League were very bad, so I thought that this match might be very difficult for Arsenal and their chances of winning would be less than their previous form. However, Arsenal played very well and their performance was very good. Arsenal scored more goals than I expected and I was very happy at that time. I hope that Arsenal will perform the same way in the upcoming matches and will be able to win.

[AprilioMP]

We discussed this match so much here, As it turned out Arsenal significantly outplayed Inter. But I think that after Arsenal defeated Bayern and showed that they are stronger than them, it was reasonable to assume that beating Inter would be even easier, because Bayern are currently one of the strongest teams, in my opinion. That is why Arsenal are in first place in the English Premier League, and at the top of the Champions League table. Once again, they prove that they are one of the strongest teams right now.

It's not because Arsenal managed to beat Inter Milan yesterday as the away team.
Before the match started, it was clear that this was the most difficult match to predict because both Inter Milan and Arsenal were in top form in their domestic leagues.
Beating Bayern is different from Arsenal's victory over Inter Milan. Bayern lost at the Emirates Stadium, while Arsenal beat Inter Milan as the away team.
Arsenal's mentality is being built to be resilient. And the benchmark is the Premier League this season. If Arsenal can stay at the top of the table until the end of the season, then Arteta's work will be a success.

Yeah. But Bodo is a team that plays very open football at home. They’ve played three big teams so far, getting one win one draw and one loss. while scoring 8 goals in total. Before this they also stayed undefeated against Dortmund away.
The passing play and the speed they showed during their second goal was incredible it should be shown as a lesson in football. On the other hand, Nico O’Reilly completely ruined the game for City. He left his man open on the first goal and for the second goa, he gave the ball directly to the opponent. He couldn't have played any worse.

Bodo deserved to win in every aspect, from the game to the quality of the players. So I have to say Man City absolutely deserved to lose. The quality of their players was subpar, lacking teamwork. I don't even remember Haaland being on the pitch. Furthermore the young players were difficult to work with, making Man City game a mess. This defeat reminds us that market value is an insult.

[pewboy]

To be fair, Ancelotti won 2 UCL titles and 2 La Liga titles in 4 years, so that comes down to 1 title per year averages, and yet he was still sacked. It is not even about getting titles or trophies for Real Madrid, there is a lot more than that.

It's a club culture of feeling great, and being the best, and if you are not there, then you get fired. Xabi didn't think they were the best, and suggested they should work harder to be better, and the entire culture is "we know what we are doing, we won it all" so when you tell them they are not good enough, they fire you.

You can't make a comparison between these two coaches. Ancelotti has made football history and you can't doubt what he can do. The performances he can get out of his players are totally different and everyone knows this, even Xabi knows it, but you can't have everything

[davis196]

The most surprising result was Sporting winning versus PSG, not Bodo/Glimt-Manchester City or Inter-Arsenal. Sporting scored the winning goal at the last minute. City has major problems in their defense, Bodo is a really solid team, Arsenal is at their best form, while Inter is kinda mediocre, despite being the leader in the Serie A. Today's games are going to be really competitive(at least some of them). I'm thinking about betting money on Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Newcastle to win against their opponents. Bayern, Chelsea and Barcelona are pretty much sure to win, because they are going to face below average teams.

[Lillominato89]

What a terrible defeat last night for my beloved Inter!
I expected us to lose, but honestly, I didn't expect such a clear result. 1-3 is a bit hard to swallow!
Especially when I think that this team has reached the final twice and now can't seem to beat the big teams! It's really depressing.

As how concentrating the discussion was to them that's actually the way Arsenal and Inter Milan played, my main take was draw even if Arsenal could do more than draw because Inter Milan wasn't those easy beaten teams so that's why I thought they wouldn't have a chance to spare for Arsenal to score but it was so much lapses they gave them I didn't expected and Arsenal performed why they were called the name. Could have the first goal actually enters without Gabriel Jesus? Because with the way Jurrien Timber strike it I believe the keeper could have removed it but with additional unexpected and change of direction of the ball by Gabriel Jesus made it possible, it became two goals for him against Inter Milan.

[dollyamo]

You just made me remember something, last season they were bringing silly excuses that they are declined form was because Rodri was absent, which most of football fans give them a benefit of doubt, but what do they have to say about this season when Rodri is back and he was in this particular match but could not be able to do anything rather receiving a red card to his entire team.

With what I'm seeing Pep guardiola's time has finally comes to an end, and I actually agree with you that he has used up all his time. Even though the management decided to sack him I think no one will blame the management again because they have given him enough time to make things right, but he continue to play games with management by declining day by day. The game as ended and Manchester City have disgrace themselves for not even making an attempt to finish draw.

From your speech, therefore, do you claim that it is only the fault of the management or a wrong coach?
I believe this decline in the team is also due to other events that we are not familiar with.

Disagreements and bad choices affect a team, but differences affect player morale and this marks more the decline in performance, in my opinion there are other things that are not going as they should.

What a terrible defeat last night for my beloved Inter!

Especially when I think that this team has reached the final twice and now can't seem to beat the big teams! It's really depressing.

Arsenal were too strong for a slightly slower Serie A side and I don't think the 1-3 scoreline was unexpected as it was thought to be a draw or Inter Milan winning at home.

It's known now that Inter in the Champions League are not what they used to be anymore they are losing more with 3x consecutive losses in the Champions League although there is hope to qualify but not sure they can go further because other teams are much stronger than Inter.

I was very worried about the result of the match. Because Arsenal have been going through a bad time for a few days.

However, Arsenal played very well and their performance was very good. Arsenal scored more goals than I expected and I was very happy at that time. I hope that Arsenal will perform the same way in the upcoming matches and will be able to win.

Just because Arsenal did not win their last match in the Premier league does not mean that they are having a bad time or they are not  inform, remember Arsenal just won Chelsea in the Carabao cup competition before going to play the Premier league match with Nottingham Forest and ended up drawing the match that those not make them less strong it happens sometimes. Arsenal performed very well yesterday they put on their best in order to win inter Milan and keep their on beating record in this season champions league competition, I have faith that Arsenal can end this season lifting the Champions League trophy and the premier league trophy and also the carabao cup because they are very strong and inform, all they should do right now is to be consistent. If they are consistent, they can achieve this trophies. I have just mentioned and nothing can stop them. The coach is doing a very nice job this season. I love the way he handle the players and position them. Big congratulation to Arsenal for winning inter Milan, and keeping their unbeating record alive they should continue this wonderful performance they are giving us this season.

There were two surprising results in the Champions League today. Lisbon beat PSG, and Glimt beat Manchester City. Congratulations to both teams for managing to beat two of the most important teams in the league. PSG were also last season's champions, so keep that in mind. These results reminded us that nobody is invincible in this league. The most comfortable win of the day went to Real Madrid, who scored six goals.

Many gamblers lost their money. Two giants like PSG and Manchester City lost. The results of these two matches were completely unexpected.

Manchester City lost 3-1 against Bodo/Glimt. It is a shame for a team like Manchester City. Kasper Hogh's goals in the 22nd and 24th minutes of the first half gave Bodo/Glimt a 2-0 lead. Even then, we saw that City's players were desperate to score. But they could not succeed. After Rodri's red card in the second half, City had no chance of a comeback.

In the last few matches, we have seen PSG's finishing has become weak. They are able to attack a lot, but are not able to score. We have also seen PSG's dominance against Sporting. Despite 22 shots, they scored only one goal.

I also lost a lot of money because I thought Manchester City would win against Glimt, but the result was far from what I expected. PSG, which I thought would win, lost, and I ended up losing money on that match too. It seems like a lot of people lost money because the favored teams were expected to win, but the results were far from what they expected. The bookmakers must be happy because they collected the money from the losing bets. But when you think about it, it makes sense that Manchester City lost to Manchester United in the English Premier League because their performance has been declining. This serves as a lesson for us that previous matches also have a significant impact, so we must be more careful when placing bets in future matches. But I don't understand PSG because they played well against LOSC.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Chelsea game is coming. I don't have much expectation for them. They will win, but they have to do it with huge margin. They have to do it in order to keep their place still far away from finishing closer to 24th. So many clubs have same points as them, and it has to force them to win the game against Pafos.
However, i believe it's gonna be a difficult game. Pafos was a solid team, and doing too many rotation can struggle them to secure three points.

The good news is that everyone is ready for Pafos game. I think they will win it. Yet, i feel a bit worry about how poor their defense so it makes me a bit reluctant to pick a direct bet on them, but odds factor is also affecting me too avoid it.
So i decide to put BTTS. I can still expect Pafos to score at very least one goal, thought it's away game.
