UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[laspol65]

We just hope Arsenal can sustain this performance till the end of season. Their chances of winning multiple trophies is increasing but we know how unpredictable Arsenal can be especially when the heat of the season sets in and coupled with the fact they are trying to grab multiple trophies at the same time. As it stands Arteta needs to be more calculative than he has ever been in previous seasons because he has the force he needs to win as much trophies has he can imagine. He should reduce the pressure against Kairat in their next fixture because those ones are already leaving the tournament so they might not play to win because they know it will not change anything their focus might be to injure has many players as they can just to reduce Arsenal chances of the winning the CL

I believe that they will succeed very easily, Arsenal is a team that will be able to do its job very well, clearly this is the result of decisions that have been correct over time, and all the fans who believe in them also know this well, Everyone knows this and this is important

They are now guaranteed to be among the top eight teams, and their final match will be against a very weak opponent. Perhaps the manager can use reserve players in that match. This will mean they play fewer matches in the Champions League, because the playoff teams will face two tough matches. Arsenal, on the other hand, will continue the Champions League qualifiers with less fatigue thanks to the advantage of being at the top of the group.

If I compare all the teams that are performing at the moment, then Arsenal is the best team this season. They are able to perform quite well in both the attack and defense departments and are in the last place. So if Arsenal competes with any of these teams, it is pretty sure that Arsenal will win, so the gambler will bet on the team. So I think Arsenal is the best team this season.

[Phoenix Anka]

What a finish of this round we just had yesterday, is gonna be the best last round since this system is active from past season, i mean do you look the ammount of teams which are gonna be playing for something in the last round? Almost every single team has something to play for in the last round, only a few teams are out and only a few more like Arsenal and Bayer are already solid on top 8, all the other ones needs the points and goals to climb positions.

We're going to witness a very exciting final week of the Champions League. Many teams will play matches that will determine their fate. It could be a week with surprising results. Given that Arsenal finished as group leaders and Bayern Munich are in the top 8, I think they won't tire their players too much and will be able to utilize players they haven't given much playing time to in the final match. The playoff stage after that could be full of exciting matches.

[Akbarkoe]

There is less than half an hour left for the match.    That's a nice match to open this matchday of the Champions League. Galatasaray would really make use of at least 1 point today to secure their playoff ticket.

On the other hand Atletico Madrid are chasing top 8. Diego Simeone looks really focused for today and they say he did some rotation in his previous match. I feel like a draw for this one honestly. I don't think Galatasaray will lose with that great atmosphere.

Ah, maybe you are thinking too much, in fact I see that Atletico Madrid can win this match, at least 2-1 for the final score, it could also be more than that if they want, I am quite confused about measuring Galatasaray in this match, but it looks like the opportunity to bet on Atletico Madrid cannot be missed, however tonight let's stay up until morning, I am still happy about Real Madrid's victory yesterday and now its twin, I hope they bring home the victory.

In this last phases of the champions league, what I feel will be okay to bet on will be just the amount of goals that would be scored on the games because they will be alot of surprises as we saw on Yesterday fixtures, where many of the big teams who were supposed to win their games all lost and to a very big margin at that so it's way better to bet on goals like over 2.5 or both teams to score.

It depends on your own interest regarding betting on the champions league, I feel confident with the bet I make so I will bet, tai, thank you for the advice, that's good and I appreciate your good intentions, it's just that for me it's not fun because I enjoy every match in the champions league when I bet, to add excitement to watching, if you rely on goal predictions and just to win, that's not a good way for me to enjoy these leagues.

Manchester City currently are not doing well so its very possible they can grab the three point there. But the thing is that Manchester City are also desperately need the win for them to actually meet up with a good qualification spot because the way they are playing now if they get matched up with a different team it would definitely difficult for them to win especially if one of the team is Bayern Munich, arsenal or Barcelona.

I totally agree with you about this, Manchester City has a problem with their recent games, many say that they are in bad shape, we don't see players who can make good chances in Manchester City at the moment and their defense also looks weak, yesterday's match was very disappointing, the favorite team was defeated easily that night, can you see better chances in Manchester Citi in the next match? maybe Pep is not sharp like previous seasons?

[$weetne$$]

 I doubt if Arsenal will be able to continuing playing in this form during the knockout stage. That is when we are going to know whether Arsenal are fully ready for what it takes to go for the champions league crown since they have won it before.
There is a big task ahead for Arsenal and I hope it will yield an achievement this time.

Knock out stage has always been the stage that brings out the part of the team that we probably may not have seen throughout the season or the tournament and so I agree with you that teams change their style and pattern of play during thos stage and it does affect those who probably are not tough enough as they could crash out but I am not hoping to see such with Arsenal.

So Tuesday games were full of surprises like : Olympiakos winning 2-0 against Leverkusen , Sportings beating PSG with 2-1 ( this is super crazy tbh ) , City getting beat 3-1 by Bodo is the cherry on top because we all know that Bodo loves to play supper offensively right ? well it seems they have a better understanding of modern pace than City at this point because that was no coincidence because Bodo really played better than City for entire of 90 minutes.

Then , here comes the Wednesday games were all the favorites won ...contrary from that happened a day before right ? besides Atl.Madrid , all the favorites team won but I can't miss out the fact that Chelsea really struggled against Pafos and barely won 1-0.  

I picked some matches I wanted to play yesterday, but on second thought I decided not to. Tuesday's matchday results made me have a change of mind. Felt like it we might see another shocking results but it turned out to be different. Although, I am happy I didn't place the bet because I would have lost it. Atalanta was among the teams that I thought would win, and they lost to Bilbao.

At the moment even with Mbappé’s goals Vinicius is a bigger player than him at Madrid but this is what a lot of fans and even the Madrid Board has failed to understand, until Mbappe wins them a title then you can now put him in that conversation.

There isn't a single team in any league in the world that wins a title without scoring goals and winning games. This makes it very clear that the most important player on a team is the one who consistently scores many goals, not the one who just dances around the field.

Vinicius Jr. doesn't score consistently and only makes a few assists occasionally. Assists are something most attacking players can do, contrary to what some people think. Vinicius Jr. can be replaced, but Mbappé is irreplaceable at the moment.

The numbers don't lie:

European Champions League

Mbappe = 6 games, 11 goals

Vinicius Jr = 7 games, 1 goal

Look at this, Vinicius Jr played 7 games in the European Champions League but only scored 1 goal.

IceLincoln fails to understand that Vinicius is a play marker and Mbappe is a finisher, so it is expected that Mbappe will not play like Vinicius because Mbappe's duty in the Real Madrid team is to score goals, and since the Real Madrid team is built on Mbappe, Real Madrid players will always assist Mbappe so that he will be consistent in scoring goals and help Real Madrid win matches. Since Vinicius and Mbappe are teammates, people should stop comparing both of them so that it will not bring division in Real Madrid dressing room that will make Real Madrid to struggle. If Ronaldo can be replaced in Real Madrid, Mbappe can be replaced at any moment.

[Adbitco]

Bayern looks strange today, the first half was especially passive, while they started the second half much better and scored two goals, but now Kim Min Jae has received a red card. It seemed like they should have beaten an opponent like this quite easily, yet as the match goes on, nothing comes that easily, even though Royale Union lost to strong teams in the Champions League without any real chances. Maybe the red card won’t prevent Bayern from getting the win, but in a match like this it felt unnecessary.

I have come realise that some games are like this, it's not every games that a big team will win with a high score. Sometimes it even ends in 1 - 0 or if it's a bad day they will play out a draw, it's not because they didn't create chances to score it's just that their finishes weren't clinical enough or the opponent goalkeeper will be on his best form that very day. We have all seen something like this play out in football. I know that lots of people must have stayed on the Bayern Munich to win with lots of goals so I understand that feeling but it is what it is. After scoring about 5 goals over the weekend, people will naturally pick Bayern Munich to score at least 3 goals in yesterday's match.

Beginning of whose downfall?! They're falling nowhere honestly. This should be the last season for Pep Guardiola so, they can keep their criticism to themselves. Whoever takes over from Pep Guardiola I'm sure will be left with a good squad to continue with. Tough times are here, but they shouldn't forget he's made them formidable over the years. He's tarnishing nothing fr fr, there'll not be another manager for Manchester City who can win them four in a row and the Champions League competition.

I like this argument, watch and see what happens to Manchester City.

Manchester City will drop lots of points in their race to the title. They are going to draw more games, they will lose more games, and I am very sure that they will lose more points compared to Arsenal in the league title.

Pep should give up after this season. He has lost his touch a little. This is not the Pep we knew years back, it seems his system is not working anymore.

What a finish of this round we just had yesterday, is gonna be the best last round since this system is active from past season, i mean do you look the ammount of teams which are gonna be playing for something in the last round? Almost every single team has something to play for in the last round, only a few teams are out and only a few more like Arsenal and Bayer are already solid on top 8, all the other ones needs the points and goals to climb positions.

The performance in this round of the Champions league is really impressive and surprising..a lot of unexpected results like the Manchester City loss to Bodo/Glimt and PSG loss to Sporting CP. The next round of the Champions league will start on 28th January and then we will see the remaining six teams that will join Arsenal and Bayern Munich to directly qualify for the knockout stages.

The round 8 of this champions league is very crucial and any mistake from any team can make them not directly qualify for the round of 16, and for some teams they will even get eliminated.

This UCL season, it seems Arsenal is quite lucky and strong. Up to week 7 this week, they have not lost a match. Arsenal is currently in first place in the temporary standings. It looks like they will extend their unbeaten record until the playoffs. Arsenal will be playing against Khairat in the last match, and they definitely need to win. However, looking at the points between 3rd and 8th place, the difference is quite narrow. This situation means the teams that directly advance to the playoffs will still be determined in their last match. Another thing about Arsenal, they are very strong in this league and have not lost. In your opinion, are they the favorites to win the UCL this year?

The teams in the Champions League are no ordinary teams, so sometimes there are surprising results. It's natural for such shocking events to occur, such as City's loss to Glimt and other matches. It seems certain that when a heavily favored team loses, many suffer significant losses. Fortunately, in today's and yesterday's matches, many of the favored teams won, and they did indeed win. The advantage of correct predictions will certainly offset the losses in previous matches.

Yes, Chelsea almost couldn't score against Pafos because Pafos has a strong defense, and it seems the Pafos coach already knows what to do. Unfortunately, Pafos' strong defense eventually couldn't withstand Chelsea's onslaught, and Caicedo scored. Chelsea is currently in eighth place, but must be vigilant, as the race for a place in the top eight is certainly still ongoing.

In your opinion, are they the favorites to win the UCL this year?

They're favorite if they can continue in this momentum and not decline in performance because this was how Liverpool finished the group stage unbeaten and ended up being kicked out in the round of 16 by PSG. I'm not saying that the same fate will catch up with Arsenal but they should keep it real. They went as far as the semifinals last season.

[giammangiato]

I like this argument, watch and see what happens to Manchester City.

Manchester City will drop lots of points in their race to the title. They are going to draw more games, they will lose more games, and I am very sure that they will lose more points compared to Arsenal in the league title.

Pep should give up after this season. He has lost his touch a little. This is not the Pep we knew years back, it seems his system is not working anymore.

That he will lose a lot of points in the league maybe this is not in agreement with you, that instead his performances could be less performing could be a feasible scenario.
From what they've played your theory might be plausible, but it's directly proportional to Manchester City's last few games and not their entire run, so I'd wait before stating that hypothesis.

Manchester City currently are not doing well so its very possible they can grab the three point there.

No one knows for sure why Manchester City will perform so poorly against such a weak team. But I had high hopes for them that they would do well in the next few games. Guardiola is working hard to get the team in a good position and he is experienced but most of the players in the team lack confidence as we saw in the match against Manchester United. Despite having almost 70 percent of the ball in that match, they could not get a shot on target. It was a big surprise that they could not break down Man United defense.

Argument?! Last thing I'd want to do. ( it's exhausting)

They'd drop points, they could also do the opposite of what's said. Arsenal winning the Premier league competition is all I want to see. The fact that Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyökeres found the back of the net should be a good feeling for the gunners. They do that consistently and with the best defenders in the Premier League, they’ll batter teams easily. Finally, it clear Pep Guardiola would deff leave. He should take sometime off.

If the problem is lack of confidence then Pep Guardiola should emphasize that to his players, I think Pep gives freedom to the players and convinces them, so the problem lies in something else in my opinion, we can see how Manchester City in the two matches looked strange, cooperation in forming attacks in the front line I think is very lacking between the attacking players, in the midfield is already quite good, and that's what I'm thinking right now, for sure they hope to return to their initial performance where they can play very well and also have a much greater win rate, since that defeat the level of public confidence in Manchester City has decreased.

[banana33]

Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt have first win of this season, in last game they have done good job against Borussia Dortmund which gave them one point, now have first 3 points, must be amazing stuff from them while Manchester City having good timely wake-up call which will give them time for doing their work on their defense if they want to have anything significant in this season.

Yes, the level of the Champions League has a completely different flavor and I must say that they are truly magical, these squares when they are there have a higher level they transform for this reason and it is something that really gives unique emotions, I must say that there are modest teams that become very strong!

[Mrbluntzy]

Nobody is underestimating Arsenal this season. Mikel Arteta is doing a good job for Gunners this season. He's not relenting and coming out for the bigger win is definitely something to go with. Arsenal have been competitive this season, knowing everything they know now, they're up and running for major trophies. The uefea champions League is not for newbies but for the main competitors. Arsenal will up their standards and winning all round games with ease.

[SuperBitMan]

We just hope Arsenal can sustain this performance till the end of season. Their chances of winning multiple trophies is increasing but we know how unpredictable Arsenal can be especially when the heat of the season sets in and coupled with the fact they are trying to grab multiple trophies at the same time.

I believe that they will succeed very easily, Arsenal is a team that will be able to do its job very well, clearly this is the result of decisions that have been correct over time, and all the fans who believe in them also know this well, Everyone knows this and this is important

They are now guaranteed to be among the top eight teams, and their final match will be against a very weak opponent. Perhaps the manager can use reserve players in that match. This will mean they play fewer matches in the Champions League, because the playoff teams will face two tough matches. Arsenal, on the other hand, will continue the Champions League qualifiers with less fatigue thanks to the advantage of being at the top of the group.

If I compare all the teams that are performing at the moment, then Arsenal is the best team this season. They are able to perform quite well in both the attack and defense departments and are in the last place. So if Arsenal competes with any of these teams, it is pretty sure that Arsenal will win, so the gambler will bet on the team. So I think Arsenal is the best team this season.

You are right, Arsenal is the best team this season they are performing very well and surprising everyone a friend mine said Arsenal is angry for the years they have stayed without trophy and are prepared to lift all the trophies at same time funny enough they can do it this season because they are playing very well, I’m confident that Arsenal will lift the premier league title so all they need to do now is to focus very well in the Champions League and continue winning all their match as they are doing till they get to the final. With what Arsenal has shown us they can win any team that comes close to them, I love the way Mike Arteta arranged the team this season the players he signed are doing very well so inconsistency can’t be Arsenals problem this season.
