Napoli have impressed everyone by their incredible performance so far. Even though they have tough opponents like Liverpool and Ajax in the group they are still playing like they are much stronger than both of them. They defeated Liverpool 4-1 and did the same to Ajax by even a bigger score like 6-1. They are living the dream now and I assume they would finish the group as the leader as well.

However I'm curious about their performance against other big teams. This performance deserves to play in the semi final at least I believe. Because they are one of the most performing teams of the group stage already.

There is still a long way to go and there is always a favorite team who will be the champion but now Man City and PSG are always linked with the trophy they want for the first time but this is not an easy job of course having to go through all the many opponents that are so it's difficult, even though Mancity have Haaland who score a lot of goals and PSG have Messi who still has the same potential but remember the other teams that are not mentioned and it will backfire for them, I believe the Champions League is difficult to predict who will be the champion but Seeing from Mancity it makes many clubs that will become champions this season.

Benfica are far from a weak club that surprised many last season... But they will probably lose to PSG again, as they did last season... Although I think a lot of people might be overestimating PSG's capabilities... As you said the French league is not as strong as other European leagues, but in Portugal club football is not that good either... I think the teams have equal chances in this encounter, although PSG looks the favourite...

This is real bullshit, how can Rashford be paired with Neymar and Messi, when Rashford is a Manchester United player?
Also, obviously all teams need the Champions League and it's not just about Manchester City and PSG. Indeed, both teams are desperate for the Champions League title because of the form changes they continue to make not only to win the local league title but also targeting it for the Champions League. Also I wonder why Juventus is still involved when you only say PSG and Manchester City, lol. Juventus is a team that is currently in a bad situation, so the chance to go further is a low chance that it can't be compared to PSG and Manchester City.

If Haaland is always on fire, then Manchester City chances in the UCL are big enough to secure the trophy this season. but if he is (say an injury, maybe Manchester City will have a big gap in the front line. It's not just individual achievement that will be achieved this season, even many achievements that come to him if he manages to bring Manchester City to become. But I'm more interested in discussing Napoli are in this group stage where they are quite consistent in the domestic league and champions league.No doubt they are a big calculation in the title race this season.a few candidate teams like real madrid and psg and bayern munich are still quite impressive in their group but barcelona will probably need hard performance in the upcoming matches.

With the rate at which Haaland is executing his goals i don't think any thing will be impossible for Manchester City to achieve. Last season Madrid deprived them of the CL title but the energy and force their forward possesses at the moment every thing is possible. Haaland contribution to the team has boasted their overall performance and has made the team even stronger. As it stands so much expectations from their fans and i believe they are equal to any task

Without a doubt, city is making alot of indoor preparations as well as psg. Nobody is willing to play and loose at the end in champions league because it is a trophy that sometimes determine the best team, best player awards etc but apart from that, a team is not complete without a trophy and yunno the implications if any of them falls below the relegation zone? So , although , we will always have a winner and psg haven't claims championship for a long time now, it might be theirs this time around?! Rashford is gonna be paired with Messi and Neymar so I don't think they'll really have any difficulties in scoring.

It's quite unfortunate that Man United had to fall a goal behind, they seemed to be in complete control at the beginning, and could have easily gone a goal or 2 up before the half hour mark, I still see Man United turning the game around though.



It's easier said than done, there is a lot of criteria to winning the champions league than just have a seemingly easy group stage fixture, the real tournament begins and gets tricky at the knockout stage.

Haaland is Manchester City's best asset at the moment as a striker. His goal productivity has helped Manchester City win a number of games, there is no idea for him other than to be amazed by the quality and finishing he has. Many fans will expect him to be able to achieve success in his first season in both the Champions League and Premier League. Individual achievements are not important, but he will definitely be very motivated to get them.

Manchester City is the leading team to win the Champions League title this season in addition to Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and several others. But I don't expect it to satisfy the players, there's still a long way to go but of course it's a possibility.

Chelsea can finally look promising after the first two matches in the group phase were disappointing. However, the victory achieved by the Blues is not a benchmark that they have performed well overall, because AC Milan did not go down with the best squad. Potter must be aware of that, he must prepare a more precise formula and a more solid squad for the next match. And Potter can take advantage of this victory to add to the morality of the players and can maintain their consistency in all competitions.

Yes , PSG is my favorite side to win though, But right now with what we are seeing with Man city performance, and when you compare City with PSG, both teams despirately needs the Champions League Trophy, but right now Manchester City is showing more full working in trying to achieve that than PSG, even if it's for head to head , City will beat Paris Saint German.
Literally, the City side is something else to watch in the field of play this very time with their goals scoring Machine Erling Harland.

Getting a lesson early at this stage is better than taking it later of course. Ligue 1 is lesser than the other top leagues (EPL > La Liga > Serie A) and close a little to Bundesliga. French are aware of that that's why they try to improve it. This season for example there will be 5 teams to be relegated and the league will contain from the next season only 18 teams.
PSG will play against Benfica again next Tuesday and we will see if they get the lesson or not.

Yes, Manchester City fans have high hopes for Haaland. The Champions League trophy is of course the main target they must get. With his outstanding performances to date and being supported by a world class great midfielder like Kevin De Bruyne then I am very confident, Manchester City will be able to achieve that. Apart from that, Haaland will also win a lot of individual titles and of course it will be very difficult to stop their run.

The game was as good as Draw, but Zagreb's mistake made it worst that have let Salzberg take that opportunity away from them, and Moharrami clumsily brought down Ulmar thus the penalty kick have given to Salzberg, a mistake Moharrami will not forget because it cost them to draw the game, but again a draw is also great than with a win over Salzberg,


Don't forget about Club Brugge KV, they also have 3 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses, which qualify them for the next round, I think there is another match for Manchester City VS Copenhagen on October 12, Dinamo Zagreb VS RB Salzberg, in matchday 4 they are repeating their match again and Manchester City VS Copenhagen I think will be the same Man City will still dominate against Copenhagen, While Zagreb VS Salzberg will be a draw this time, there is no rooms for error now and if Salzberg win this again, they will surely have the rights to win this,


With just one player Manchester City is changed from a great team to now an even more amazingly great team with Erling Halland in their team this is the perfect opportunity for them, and Erling Halland is showing great spirit in playing with Manchester City, from being a player that has always missed a game because of injury on Dortmund in the last season of Bundesliga from getting so many goals with the team he always wanted to be part of, I guess he has now have great chemistry in the Man City to done it,

PSG dominated possession in the first half as expected, but were met with a resilient Benfica who played with courage through out the match. I did not see PSG winning Benfica because of how they’ve been performing in the Portuguese league. Vitinha and Marco Verratti dominated the central areas of the pitch using their quick passing and agile movements to beat defenders. I don’t think there’s any need to change PSG midfield because the players in that position are experienced and good. Maybe they would have offered more but it wasn’t there day to win.

I think Manchester City fans are delighted to have Haaland in the team and looking at his performance and the team's performance generally I think they have a better chance of winning the long-awaited champions league trophy that's if the team continues with this good form and goal-scoring creativity. The only thing I see that can hinder the performance of City is if they encounter a team like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid that has well-experienced players, especially the players that understand the pattern of pep and a coach that can play a formation that will counter the attack from City, I believe that is the only thing that can stop City this time but for now, the team is at a 100% form.

Chelsea easily defeated AC Milan at night by outshining them. Nobody anticipated that the Potter Graham men would triumph in such a match. Thiago Silva and James in particular stood out for Chelsea, who performed brilliantly despite AC Milan's lackluster performance. In my opinion, James is the best right back in the league right now because of his ability to steal Lemao and provide an easy assist for a goal. James was also named player of the match for his performance. Jorginho, Harvert, Ziyech, and Pulistic were benched by Potter Graham in a difficult decision. However, it helped him defeat AC Milan last night, and I'm confident that Potter Graham will eventually convince the Chelsea players to adopt his strategies. The team's strong performance will allow for further development.

In this case I don't see the usual performance of PSG.
Benfica are indeed a good team and they are also one of the big teams in the Primeira Liga but PSG can be said to be far superior in every way, whether it's from the quality of the players or others but their performance in this match was really not very good in my opinion even though they controlled the game.
Benfica played very disciplined in this match and of course this is a good thing for them. I really appreciate that, at least this can be a lesson for Galtier that Ligue 1 is very different from the Champions League.

Chelsea really performed well in this game because many people predicted for the favour of AC Milan to defeat Chelsea 2:1 but the game ended up for the favour of Chelsea. Chelsea really improve in the second half that made their strikers and midfielders to achieved more goals to defeated AC Milan 3:0 to prepare the mind of their fans that they can stil recover from their loss before the end of the season. If AC Milan coach can do some homework before their second leg game,I think they will achieve a goal but Chelsea will still defeat them.

This is Graham Potter's second win in all competitions since being appointed as coach, Chelsea's game has improved a bit compared to the previous coach, but this is only the beginning of testing for their new coach, because there will be many big games to prove.
The 3-0 win against AC Milan made Chelsea players more confident to continue the next match, the second leg will be quite interesting for us to see, whether AC Milan will lose again or Chelsea will lose points.
