UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[LUCKMCFLY]

But however they must quickly forget this painful defeat, there is one more match in front of them that they must win. Their opponents are also not opponents that can be easily defeated. Galatasaray have the ability to give them another defeat, so they must be prepared with that and prepare again in order to get a good result.

Well, they can do it and they must do it The truth is, this has been very tough for Pep, not just for the players. I think the coach's mental state plays a big role here, since he has always been a champion and being in this position means it has affected him a lot But that's football, you always have to pick yourself up Besides, he has good players, they must do it, it's their duty, they can't give up.

[7juju]

I think we won't have a big goal difference with Manchester City because Man City is not in good condition in their last few matches, Galatasaray can have a chance to get a win in this match, we can see how Manchester City lost to Bodo/Glimt with a very superior score, Galatasaray should be able to do the same thing in the next Champions League match, as long as we have a strategy that can make us disciplined that's enough.

it is a good advantage that Galatasaray is playing with almost no missing players. Using defensive full backs is going to be super important in this match. Looking at Man City, they have some big names missing in defense, which is great for GS. Osimhen will probably play against Khusanov and Ake in the center and he can definitely dominate them. Also, Rodri is suspended he’s the best defensive midfielder in the world so that’s a big plus for galatasaray. Man City's attack is still strong, but GS can be really dangerous with counter attacks.

With Nunez back to the squad Manchester city defense won't be that bad this time around. Manchester city defense suffered last time because of Rico Lewis and he won't be starting. Nathan Ake is not that very good anymore so I'm expecting Pep Guardiola to play Ait Nouri and Khusanov in central defence and Nico O' Reilly at left back . At least it will be more manageable than having Rico Lewis in that right back messing himself up as he did last time. Rodri is suspended, but Nico Gonzales is back training with the squad he has been very instrumental for city this season, so he's expected to cover for Rodri. Anyhow it is I'm expecting city to win tomorrow.

Arsenal who's 1st in the log would be facing the Kairat Almaty that haven't won a single game since they started this campaign and Bayern Munich who are occupying the 2nd position would visit the PSV side and they both (Arsenal and Bayern Munich) have one thing in coming before going into their champions league game, they both lost their weekend. I don't want to say this would happen or not but can both teams get a win to end the Champions League league phase?

The domestic league losses experienced by Arsenal and Bayern Munich should not be a prerequisite to use and exermine their likely performance in their next Champions League fixtures. Kairat Almaty cannot even stand Arsenal because if Arsenal could meet bigger teams and won them who is now Kairat Almaty that Arsenal can not win, it's obvious that Arsenal will get an 8 games 8 wins in the league phase of the Champions League. PSV Eindhoven is quite an unpredictable team because we have seen them humiliate teams like Napoli and Liverpool by a high score margin so i can't be affirmative that Bayern Munich will win them but whatever be the outcome of the match, i believe that Bayern Munich will qualify among the top 8 that will go directly into the round of 16.

The only luck Manchester city have in this crucial encounter with Galaterssary is that they will be playing comfortably at home in the Etihad Stadium, if not I don’t think they will easily win this game. It doesn’t matter who plays or who doesn’t play for Manchester city, during their last champions league match against Bodo Glimt they were beaten hands down at Norway even with all their best players on the pitch including Erling Haaland and Rodri. If this game were to be played in Turkey then I don’t see man city standing any chance of winning the game, but even at that, Galaterssary are well aware of what loosing this game means to them, the both side wants to win this game to stand a chance of qualifying and if Galaterssary lose this game they dont seem to have a place in the play off, so for this reason I think they will equally want to prove a point and go home with a positive result either a draw.

[Abu-Naim]

I agree with you on this, Manchester City has not being in good form recently, their last match against bodo glimt says it all. Galatasary has more experience than Manchester City in the champions league this might not be important but they have more chances of winning than Manchester City. Our speculations might actually be wrong though, it won't be a Surprise if Manchester city ends up winning.

The current players in both teams is the case study and not the team as a whole, and with the players in both teams, Manchester City is the one with most experienced players in Champions League as we speak and they have a very good chance of winning against Galatasary because they are in need of that points to make it to stand a very high chance of finishing in the top eight, so they can’t afford to lose again at the Etihad stadium when they needed the three points to avoid the playoff and get a direct spot in the knockouts stage.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Wonder if we’ll see any big teams struggle to make top 8 tomorrow and be forced to play an undesirable playoff to make the last 16.

A quick look at the table shows Barca, Man City, Atletico, Inter, Juve and Dortmund all out of the top 8.
I just hope Liverpool can beat Qarabag to guarantee at least 4th place and hopefully then get a favourable tie in the last 16.

Etihad Stadium is no longer comfortable for Manchester City. Bode Glint won City at home if I'm not mistaken, they are not the first to do it, so it obviosuly mean Galaterssary can win Manchester City at Etihad.

I wont forget how Galatassary won Liverpool too. In addition, Galatassary have a better record in the UCL than Manchester City. 3 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, while Manchester City have 3 wins, 4 losses, and no draws.

I think this is when Manchester City would have to prove themselves that they are well prepared for this year tournament and also ready to  win in order not to miss their chances. The match is going to be tough although not like we might think but I expect so see some goals all together from both team.

Everything will be decided tomorrow because currently looking at the points acquisition I think the last week could be decisive because of the current tight competition.

Victory in the last match can determine their fate too later especially now there are still several subscription and big clubs for their respective domestic competitions that are in a favorable position.
For Liverpool too, they still have the opportunity to be dragged into the play off phase if the situation is chaotic for the last match. Their chances of winning are certainly very large now but still when their lost focus in the EPL is carried over to the Champions League then just get ready for them to lose their position.

But for now I am more focused on PSG's match against Newcastle because the probability is very strong for one of them to go to the play offs and even both of them can be in the play offs when the match is drawn for the last match.

[Wake Up]

The match is going to be tough although not like we might think but I expect so see some goals all together from both team.

Both teams certainly have a chance to score. Especially considering Manchester City's poor performance against Borussia Dortmund in their last Champions League match, dropping points at home would be a nightmare for them. However, Galatasaray must prepare very well for this match. Manchester City is a very tough opponent and one of the favorites in the Champions League. This will be a serious test for Galatasaray as well. They had a historic victory against Liverpool, and if they can get a win against Manchester City, it will undoubtedly be an even bigger victory.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I just hope Liverpool can beat Qarabag to guarantee at least 4th place and hopefully then get a favourable tie in the last 16.

Liverpool's performance in the Champions League is still quite good compared to what they show in the EPL but there is definitely a condition where fans still have considerable concerns especially seeing the consistency that is still not well maintained for them even though the opponent is Qarabag whose level and mentality are below Liverpool because of the strength of the players and playing home for them.

The chance to win is still very big for now because this could be one of the demands too because when they qualify directly, the players will also not be too shortened and can rest because they don't get additional matches on the play off route.
3 points should be a certainty for Liverpool if you look at the existing conditions but we know how they are at this time even though they are favorites sometimes there are things that are not too expected.

[AGogi2003]

The domestic league losses experienced by Arsenal and Bayern Munich should not be a prerequisite to use and exermine their likely performance in their next Champions League fixtures. Kairat Almaty cannot even stand Arsenal because if Arsenal could meet bigger teams and won them who is now Kairat Almaty that Arsenal can not win, it's obvious that Arsenal will get an 8 games 8 wins in the league phase of the Champions League. PSV Eindhoven is quite an unpredictable team because we have seen them humiliate teams like Napoli and Liverpool by a high score margin so i can't be affirmative that Bayern Munich will win them but whatever be the outcome of the match, i believe that Bayern Munich will qualify among the top 8 that will go directly into the round of 16.

Arsenal are more better then Kairat Almaty and notice will stop Arsenal from wining the match because they want to finish in the first position in the Champions League table. Bayern Munich are leading the table by far and that is why I think they can surly lose match because they have over work this season already so he will be very difficult for any team to over take them in the league. But if is in the Champions I always get the believe that they won't underestimate any team they always do there best and win matches in the competition.

Arsenal can probably lose there next game since they have been wining all there games in the competition, but since they are in good shap they can probably do well and finish the first round with wining all there groups matches. Let see how they will perform in the game, they will focus more in the Premier league currently.

[Donneski]

But however they must quickly forget this painful defeat, there is one more match in front of them that they must win. Their opponents are also not opponents that can be easily defeated.

I trust Manchester City's ability and I'm very confident that they'll be able to beat Galatasaray tomorrow. However, when you consider the fact that their visitors tomorrow are on the brink of not qualifying for the knockout stage and must win at Etihad tomorrow to be sure of qualification to the next round, you'll understand why they'll be playing with every might and strength in that game. I expect a very difficult game for both sides and should Manchester City beat their visitors at the end, I won't be surprised because they're also seeking to finish in the top 8

[Jegileman]

This will be a very tough game because Manchester City is in a very tough spot now and they need to turn things around and prevail in this game. Both teams have a very good record in the champions league, it is only the league they’re playing from that matters most in this game. Galatasaray is not an easy team for them to win, so it will not be so easy for them to actually win the game even if the game is most important for them to advance to the next round of the competition. Every team needs this match in order to advance to the next round of the competition, so it’s going to be a very fierce game for both teams to actually compete in.

Arsenal can probably lose there next game since they have been wining all there games in the competition, but since they are in good shap they can probably do well and finish the first round with wining all there groups matches. Let see how they will perform in the game, they will focus more in the Premier league currently.

Arsenal are doing their very best in the Champions League and this has really helped them to go far in this competition. They don’t need the last match and don’t need to take it serious if they don’t want to, but for the sake of remaining competitive and most relevant to their opponents, they’ll still make sure that they stay at the top of their game. Arsenal has done well and I commend their performance so far in the champions league. Keeping up to it will really help them to advance to the father levels in this competition.

I don't know why many of you are trying to reference what is happening to Arsenal in the Premier League to the Champions League thread. If you want to talk about the lapses of Arsenal, you can do that in the Premier League thread because that is where they are having those difficulties but for the Champions League, their performance is excellent. Maybe they might be more interested in winning the Champions League title since that is where they have focused more of their energy. Arsenal is doing great at the Champions League games so let's be positive about their performance.

Honestly, Arsenal are not impressing their fans so that is why they are referencing them to the Champions league because there is still a very long way for them to get the trophy which we are not sure if they can afford to get to the final. Although without any doubt Arsenal has more force in the Champions league because despite their poor performance against Manchester united, you would be surprised about the way they would play in the champions league so let's try as much as possible to differentiate their performances.

Yes, and the opposing team is very weak. They will be playing against the weakest team in the Champions League. I think Arsenal will comfortably win this match and advance to the next round by winning all eight remaining matches. They have had some really tough matches, but winning them all shows how exceptionally good they are. They dropped points against Manchester United in the Premier League, but they won't experience that in the Champions League. They will fully focus on the Premier League and try to win every match until the next knockout rounds begin.

I just hope Liverpool can beat Qarabag to guarantee at least 4th place and hopefully then get a favourable tie in the last 16.

I believe Barcelona will win there match because they are very inform and they play good football, they are one of the teams I love there match so much and again for they fact they are at home they will surely win the match, as for the rest I’m not sure if they can win however let see how the game will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be an interesting day for those that loves football so much, I’m betting on Barcelona will win there match.

[Callido]

You are neglecting the fact that Arsenal are playing very badly in few games now since December, Arsenal are just lucky that most of the teams behind them are bad and inconsistent, assuming that Manchester City and Liverpool are playing well and consistent you will not see Arsenal topping the Premier League right now, Do you know that this same Arsenal team lacks winners and when you look at Arsenal they mostly rely on scoring set piece goals, and why are the strikers not scoring enough goals because they’re not good enough for the Premier League, Arsenal lacks a star player, players like Salah, Haaland, Arsenal doesn’t have this kind of Players who can make things happen that have a strong Mentality, so there is no fair chance that allows Arsenal to win the Premier League, they’ve to fight and work hard to win the Premier League, Talking about Bayern Munich and Bundesliga you can’t compare Bundesliga to the Premier League, you rank Arsenal as Premier League favorites doesn’t mean they’re going to win the Premier League.

Only in the last match that Arsenal didn't collect any point from the match. All their last five games they've managed to see at least 1 point, this is just a few tough run for them, even Manchester United that defeat Arsenal, doesn't fit the comparison, it is not the first time for underdogs to win, i hope this isn't a fancy show from the new United coach, winning the first few matches and struggle for the rest.

Arsenal already have keys players, isn't Saka a key player, there is nothing wrong with Arsenal squad, was it not when Mbappe, Messi and Neymar left PSG that they won the Champions League, it's not compulsory to have big name players before winning trophies.

[MK-74]

I think tomorrow night will be a great match for Galatasaray fans.
I’m really looking forward to the Galatasaray vs Manchester City game.

Even though Galatasaray are not the favorites in this match, I believe we can get a result.
This is a very important game for Osimhen because it’s a match where he can show himself to the world playing against one of the best teams from the most watched league in the world.

I hope we get a win tomorrow and that it turns into an unforgettable night for us.

When I was checking out the matches that I will be able to watch tomorrow, that's very much between Manchester City and the galata service struck my attention and I decided that I was going to watch the match. It will be an interesting match and also have that kind of mixed reaction from Nigerians. Majority of the Nigerian football lover support the English teams in the Champions League, but this time around they have their favorite player from the Turkish side so it is going to be a mixed reaction.

Meanwhile Victor Osimhen has been tipped to come to England for some time but it didn't work. This is a perfect opportunity to show the English guys what he can do. I am honestly looking upto the match.
