UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[dezoel]

Barcelona defense is very worst. It just they put 4 woods at the backline, the players that annoys me the most Alenjadro Balde, that guy overlaps, can't defend, can't cross only knows how to run. Then kounde , I can't comprehend my words for that guy. This Barcelona won't take us fas in this champions League, look at we are conceding useless goals against small teams, I find it so shocking. Imagine we gave the likes of Arsenal, Bayern , those will eat up our defense. I don't blame Hansi flick, I remembered when he told the club that he need a LCB but Stupid Deco gave him Cancelo. Maybe I should just focus on La Liga, this season champions is not sure for us.

Looking at the situation at hand, I would say that Barcelona basically just plays to make sure that they are scoring, and when they are playing against a smaller team, even defenders are attacking or basically just playmaking to make sure they help with the offense.

So when you play against a smaller team there is a big chance that your defense would be risked and you would have to run back a lot. This is why they conceded two goals, but they played the type of football where they did not care about their results and all they cared about was scoring bunch of goals and that is what they did.

[SUPERSAIAN]

They definitely have to recover from their trauma as quick as possible because the big occasion  in the UCL is just about to get starting and they can't go in the round of 16  playing  averagely. It would be a quick elimination for them which would be too bad for the  fans. The upcoming game will be against Galatasaray, and it's a home game which must be won to avoid  the knockout play off by those teams who didn't make it to the top 8.

This is the beginning of their downfall. Now, the Manchester City fans want Pep Guardiola to leave their club because of the inconsistency in the team.

In reality, the street holds no memories for him, given everything he has done for the club and its fans. Well, for me, I think Pep should leave by the end of this season, now he still has some pride to protect. If he tarnishes his image before leaving City, it will be bad for him as a manager.

I think he needs to leave now. It would be good for Pep Guardiola and for the club, as it would protect his image. And when he leaves, it will become clear whether the real problem is the squad or Guardiola's inadequacy. I think Pep won't want to stay any longer and will leave at the end of the season. Let him leave so the fans can finally relax; right now, Guardiola seems to be the only problem.

[BIT-BENDER]

Arsenal are currently the dominant club in this competition, with an impressive series of 7 wins in 7 games.
However, the fact is that it is much easier to play games in the group stage, where even a few losses do not mean much, than the knockout stage of the competition, where 1 worse game means elimination from the competition.
The question of all questions is whether Arsenal can continue to play like this in the knockout stage of the competition?

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.

That is the problem with Arsenal, no matter how well they play in the group stage,many people will still doubt if they will be able to maintain their performance in the next round. Arsenal has performed well since the start of the Champions League, and they have the mentality to win the trophy. Arsenal is one of the teams I believe can beat any club in Champions League this season, but they can disappoint whenever you trust them too much.

If Arsenal can still maintain this performance, I’m sure that they can go far to the final, but if their performance declines in the next round, I don’t think they will be able to win it. Because they have strong squad this season, Arteta rested some of his key players in their last game against Inter Milan, and they were able to win.

Anything is possible for Arsenal they can continue their good form and go on to the finals or as other times they can be hit with lots of Injuries, players out of form and inconsistency can make Arsenal lose what they have built so far this season.
I think winning a major title is Arsenals vision and English premier League is their to lose now, there is still a very long way to go in the Uefa champions league so that title is still far from being concluded.

Let him leave so the fans can finally relax; right now, Guardiola seems to be the only problem.

We even heard rumors that Pep Guardiola wanted to leave Manchester City after he led the team to victory in the Champions League, Premier League, and Club World Cup in the same season. but when the season ended, he actually extended his contract or something like that. However, after that, Manchester City seemed to lose its usual solid strength. Although initially it was because some of their key players were released, I personally feel that the problem lies with Pep, who seems to have lost his motivation to bring glory to Manchester City. He needs a new environment and new challenges that align with his well-known character. However, it seems Manchester City isn't ready to let him go. I understand because Manchester City hasn't found someone capable of replacing Pep. And I'm sure we all realize that Manchester City will struggle to find a coach as good as Pep.

Barcelona has successfully defeated Slavia Praha with a score of 2-4. The Barcelona players worked together really well and were finally able to defeat Slavia Praha. Slavia Praha will likely find it difficult to advance to the playoffs because they did not win against Barcelona, but it seems that next season there will still be an opportunity for Slavia Praha  to participate in the Champions League again. In this match, Slavia Prague scored first, but Barcelona eventually responded with goals of their own, ultimately securing the win. It was unfortunate that Lewandowski accidentally scored an own goal, but fortunately, he also scored a goal, so even though he scored an own goal, it wasn't an issue because he also scored a goal. Olmo and Lopez scored well, but Rashford also performed well as he provided an assist in the match.

Now Barcelona must strive to play even better to secure a good ranking, as finishing in ninth place would not guarantee direct qualification to the Round of 16. Therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona must win and score many goals in the upcoming matches.

Eventually Barcelona have won the match and keep their hope alive for next round qualifications. Anyway the match was quite interesting because initially Slavia Praha were to strong and continuously putting a heavy press on Barcelona players and even got a initials lead but in second half Barcelona took the control of the match in his hand and after that they slightly rise their lead into 4 goals. Robert Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez were the two guys who dominated the entire match with pretty awesome performance. Fermin Lopez scored two stunning goals as well as Robert Lewandowski scored two goals 😅 one for Barcelona and other for Slavia Praha....

Now Barcelona have eye on their upcoming schedule and definitely it is very crucial match for the Hansi Flick side because it a matter of UEFA Champions League competition, and qualification is necessary.

That game was a crucial game for Barcelona to win and they actually did the very needful to defeat their opponent Slavia Praha, yes Robbert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez did very nice job in delivering FC Barcelona from that particular encounter and their next champions League game isn't going to be a problem for them to win, I have a believe that they're going to win that very match because this has boosted their morale the more.

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.

These are bets that are many times risky that are laid by bookmakers in a sneaky way with loose odds and many fall for it, not following a certain championship or not knowing several things that can then affect the match, this happens very often

[Adbitco]

At least this is a form of redemption for the fans, they wasted their time, effort and money to see their only to be humiliated by Bodø/Glimt, although the fans are angry that their team has been frustrating for some time now but they easily forget how their team has been frustrating other teams for long now with outrageous score lines, it was all rosy now it's time to get a taste of their own medicine they are angry about it. What I know is that, every era comes to an end and this might just be it. Personally, I think Manchester City needs to restart. Pep has been the man for the team but these days, he seems like someone who doesn't know what his doing anymore. I might be wrong but this is my opinion.

Sometimes the fans are the course of a team downfall. Because after all the effort Pep have been putting to see that Manchester city is back again, due to just 1 lose against Manchester United they want him to leave. Although. As you said, it’s better if he leave they will know the actual problem of the team, because to me Manchester city problem is not from their coach alone.

 I think even the players are not performing as they were doing in the previous season, but the fans don’t really see such, all they know is that the coach is the team problem, If he leave we will see the real problem of this club.

Manchester City refunding their fans the amount they paid to come and watch them in the game doesn't justify anything they should step up in their game and stop losing games like a team without good players. When they were busy defeating other teams they never believed that a time will come when they will be playing 3 straight draws in the league and get defeated by teams they should defeat I just like the way they are learning the hard way at least they will also use this opportunity to learn how to respect other teams when they become better again. City needs to part ways with the team, he has tried for them he helped them to win many trophies but since nothing is working for him again in the team he should just give way for another person to take over.

Galatasaray is definitely keep shocking everyone in the world, probably even themselves. This is the team that beat Liverpool and got a tie with Atletico Madrid, and won against Ajax easily as well. And yet it is also the team that lost to USG, one of the smallest teams in UCL this season, and then Frankfurt 5-0 loss, which was horrible and Frankfurt is not even in the top 24.

So do we know that Galatasaray is a good team or a bad team? We have no idea, I mean if they scored that last shot, they would have beaten Atletico Madrid too, and yet, they lost to USG somehow. Is this team good? Is this team bad? We have no idea, they have no idea, even players do not know if they can beat Real Madrid and then lose to PAFOS, it's that kind of team.

Everyone has their worst moment and I guess this is one of his worst moment and he is still trying to recover from last season trauma and the rest of them. They actually seem's better this season than the previous season and I won't say he has no chance of correcting what has happened last season because there is still a little chance to do that only if he can make it count, most people have already started to believe they may not allow Arsenal win the premier league but right now the momentum is no longer there.

A lot I suppose is going on with Manchester City and I hope they fix it sooner before they begin to go trophy less over seasons, Pep obviously be passing his prime and so it is probably okay to see that some of his tactical prowess be already dropping so much and he will not be as productive so by next season I suggest Manchester City be thinking towards a replacement.

Some people just fall for such things without considering certain factors. We all know that in the game against Manchester City and Manchester United, most people were not expecting Manchester United to win, even though we all know they were performing well, and Manchester City were having a little bit of challenges. This is what people need to consider before betting, but they overlook it and focus on what they are not supposed to focus on.

The more I try to understand the team Galatasaray, the more it look as if I'm going crazy. I have never seen a team so unpredictable in my entire time of follow football. Today they are all hot and ready to demolish any team, the next day they are vegetables ready to be eaten. As a player, I have successfully removed them from my betting consideration before they make me lose fortune. The bookies keeps giving them small odds in the Turkish Super League even when they are not sure bet.

Maybe I should just focus on La Liga, this season champions is not sure for us.

If we want to deep dive into Barcelona's defense, we have to write down a full textbook, I don't understand the defense anymore, we know Balde lives in the opposition defense like a second winger but atleast he used to make some unexpected dribbles that catches the opposition defenders off guard but he doesn't do that, then don't get me started on Kounde, present Kounde is a far cry off last season's, it seems like he is tired of playing for the team, no positional awareness off the ball, terrible 1v1's and bad dribble and skills spawn, Barcelona has alot to do.

Thinking there first transfer this market will be a CB and off they go with Cancelo with the same defensive issue

Let's play with statistics a little bit and compare how well clubs of different major European leagues are doing in the Champions League:

English Premier League:
6 clubs; total points: 89; average points per game: 2.12

Italian Serie A:
4 clubs; total points: 45; average points per game: 1.61

German Bundesliga:
4 clubs; total points: 42; average points per game: 1.50

French Ligue 1:
3 clubs; total points: 31; average points per game: 1.48

Spanish La Liga:
5 clubs; total points: 50; average points per game: 1.43

We can clearly see the dominance of the Premier League Clubs, both in terms of representation and results per game.
Spanish La Liga is the lowest performing one in the bunch, but that's largely due to massively underperforming Villareal, who are currently 3rd in the La Liga table, but only managed to earn one point in 7 games in the Champions League. Which I think is the biggest disappointment so far.

Since Pep Guardiola helped Manchester City win quite a number of trophies, Manchester City won't want Pep Guardiola to leave in the middle of the season. If Manchester City actually wants to part ways with Pep Guardiola, I think they will do that at the end of the season so that they will protect his image. Pep Guardiola has brought in two new faces to Manchester City, and since he's yet to win a match after his new signings, I don't think Pep Guardiola is the perfect man for the Manchester City job

At least this is a form of redemption for the fans, they wasted their time, effort and money to see their only to be humiliated by Bodø/Glimt, although the fans are angry that their team has been frustrating for some time now but they easily forget how their team has been frustrating other teams for long now with outrageous score lines, it was all rosy now it's time to get a taste of their own medicine they are angry about it.

Pep has been the man for the team but these days, he seems like someone who doesn't know what his doing anymore. I might be wrong but this is my opinion.

Manchester city players did the right thing by making sure they compensate their fans for the loss, although they were not under any obligation to do that but it was just a show of love and taking of responsibility. The fans knew that the club won't always win all the time. It's not even wrong for the fans to voice out their frustration when their club is losing unnecessary matches that they should have won. It's really a kind gesture from Manchester city players to cover the ticket money for their fans.

Manchester City aren't supposed to refund their fans the money they paid for tickets to watch them in Norway against Bodø/Glimt, but after Manchester City disgraced their fans by losing to Bodø/Glimt, Manchester City refunded their fans the money they used to buy tickets just to show how sorry and disappointed they are for letting them down in Norway, and I believe what Manchester City did for their fans by returning the money they used to buy tickets is a way of stepping up their game.

Premier League teams are doing well this campaign in the group stage but we can't say for sure if they will be going far in the knock out stages or even winning the trophy. Teams like Tottenham and Newcastle united are not really doing well in the premier league but somehow they are doing well in the champions league and only Manchester City among premier league teams is below top 8.

Villarreal is one team that's not lucky since the start and I don't think they are making it to the next round. Only Real Madrid is in top 8 among Spanish teams the rest are below top 8. I'm certain that the knock out stage will be so competitive that making top 8 won't guarantee you a space as the competition progresses.
