Mikel Arteta and his troops must be really satisfied with the landslide victory they achieved against Lens. Because it was revenge for Arsenal's previous defeat when they competed in front of Lens supporters. And with this victory Arsenal have really paid for their defeat in the previous match. And of course with more cruel replies. 6 goals without reply would really be a nightmare for Lens. It seems that Lens are too confident because in the previous match they were able to win against Arsenal. They did not expect that they would experience such a painful defeat in that match.
And Arsenal is now in a safe position in Group B to qualify for the next stage.

In Group A there was absolutely no change in the ranking in their group. Because both matches in Group A all ended in draws. Bayern also surprisingly only got 1 point in front of their own fans. Even though as the host I hope Bayern can win easily. And Man Utd have also wasted their opportunity to get full points in the match against Galatasaray. In fact, if they win, Man Utd can be a little calmer for the next match. Now Man Utd is really in a more difficult position because in their last match they had to face Bayern, of course the quality of their game is currently above Man Utd. Although I think the depth of the squad is almost the same. But Bayern's consistency is much better this season.

Arsenal played with a brilliant performance in the first half, by continuing to press the opponent and looking for a quick goal and this succeeded after a goal in the 13th minute. Arsenal became even more unstoppable in the first half alone, already 5-0. So it was very natural for Lens to recover after the first half because their spirits were already down so Arsenal's final goal came in the 86th minute via a penalty which made the score 6-0. This big victory was beyond everyone's predictions, including myself. I think betting on Arsenal to win lens 3-1 turned out to exceed my expectations with a solid 6-0 Gunners.

First of all it was hell of a game between Galatasaray and Manchester United.    First I was worried about the possibility of the match to be postponed due to rain and pitch conditions. But thankfully the conditions got better near the time of match. Firstly I must admit that I didn't like our general performance against Manchester United.

Because we were so vulnerable especially against counter-attacks. Our defenders weren't having a good day. Sanchez's absence was also felt a lot. I must admit another thing that Bruno Fernandes' goal was incredible.

After it became 1-3 I was losing my hopes quicker than before. But Onana's having a bad day helped us a lot. Ziyech kept his best performance for this game as it seems. Now we need to beat Copenhagen to secure last 16.

Bayern Munich are no longer hunting for victory when facing Copenhagen because Bayern Munich already know that they have already qualified for the next round even though Harry Kane can actually use this match to score more goals this season to gain an advantage in other sectors. But Bayern Munich may have thought differently not to put all their energy into a match that no longer has any effect for them, because Bayern Munich's goal is to win the group and also qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Mazzarri is one of the good coaches from Italy and in fact yesterday was a duel also of coaches beside of teams as Ancelotti was playing in the same era as Mazzarri,of course I expected a much easier win from Real Madrid based on their stats that they have won all 9 last games against Italian clubs at home in the Champions League and I was a bit scared when 2-2 was only unblocked by an error of the Napoli goalkeeper otherwise I don't know how it would end up this game as the tension was being felt in Real Madrid players before that 3-2 goal who gave them the calmness needed to score the 4th goal soon after.

After Spalletti left, it became clear that Napoli would change, and when Garcia took his place, I realized that nothing good would come from this. After this, stupid decisions and conflicts followed, when Garcia ruined his relationship with Osimhen, I was waiting for Garcia to be fired. Mazzarri took his place, but he is only playing his second match with Napoli and it is obvious that with the new team there could be no other outcome than defeat against Real Madrid. But Napoli still have their last match at home against Braga and they have very good chances to continue the fight in the playoffs.

The competition between the team in group A will be more interesting now especially after Manchester United only able to playing draw from Galatasaray because Galatasaray had just open their chances to qualified and their last match on group phase only against Copenhagen which is more easy than Manchester United and indeed mathematically if Galatarasay win from Copenhagen they will be automatically to qualified but i personally won't be underestimate Copenhagen because during group phase this team has been showing unpredictable performance and sometimes Copenhagen has performing well and the latest is Copenhagen was able to gets the winning result from Manchester United and draw from Bayern Munich and currently Copenhagen position was runner up below to Bayern Munich and Copenhagen too had equal chances because if they can able to win from Galatasaray then Copenhagen is the team who qualified to round of 16 with Bayern Munich

True, galatasaray needs another win from copenhagen to lock a spot to go to the knock out stage. Copen hagen may not also try to let the only chance to qualify goes to the galatasaray as well. Manchester united has a chance once those clubs will be draw.
If the result from the match between galatasaray vs copenhagen will not be draw and MU out. 1 point gap has made galatasaray and copenhagen were in the better position than manchester united.
The only problem whether united can beat bayern munich as it's really strong at this moment. Copenhagen has managed to get draw against bayern away. Manchester united has very difficult job to be done.


Glad to see that how munich was not getting penalty and it puts manchester united in a very difficult situation. MU must have won combined with copenhagen vs galatasaray to be drawn. This is the only chance for MU but it has very low probability.

Braga drew at home against union berlin. In the 31st minute the hosts were reduced to ten men and it seemed to ruin all their plans. Although they played with 10 men for about 60 minutes, Braga managed to hold on to the match and managed to get a draw. If they had lost points in this match, or more precisely, if they had come, they would have had no chance of getting out of the group. Thus, at worst they will continue in the Europa League in third place.
In the Real Madrid - Napoli cross, we watched a goal duel and Real Madrid, who recovered quickly, managed to take the lead with two goals. Napoli, who started the second half fast, managed to find the equalizer almost immediately. In the last 10 minutes, while the excitement increased, Real Madrid scored two goals in the last 7 minutes to win the match 4-2 and guaranteed to be the leader of the group.

Bayern Munich totally disappointed their home fans yesterday. Imagine playing out 0:0 score line in front of your supporters who had high hope on their team. Sometimes the bragging rights is what the Fans cares for. The game was so embarrassing to be honest I was really disappointed with Bayern's performance. How can you bring people out to watch a goal less game in champions league to a team like Copenhangen.


Honestly this is the kind of match that a top player like Harry Kane should score hattrick. He has just missed a great opportunity to add to his tally in yesterday game. If he can't do this in the home ground is he hoping to achieve this in Old Trafford?

This Benfica vs Inter Milan match surprised me like Benfica was leading with 3:0 in half time only to come back for the second half and Inter Milan equalized all the goals. Though Inter Milan tried by equalizing the goals but they need more work in their defense as their defense isn't that solid, if not for the errors in their defense during the first half that made them concede 3 consecutive goals in the first half I believe Inter Milan would have won considering the efforts they put in the second half. I just feel for Benfica's Joao Mario scored a hat trick for them only to see the whole goals equalized and it looks like all his efforts were in vain.

Benfica's performance in the UCL this season is very poor as they rock the bottom in their group after playing 5 matches, couldn't win any match and drew just one match. Anyway Inter Milan did a great job as this draw against Benfica have confirmed them qualified for the round of 16, it's really nice to see Alexis Sanchez score for Inter Milan as he was the one that scored the equalizer.

They didn't really have to win to get through as top seed. Bayern are at 13 points while the teams chasing them are at a mere 5 points. It does give a good chance for Copenhagen to get through to the next round as they will be facing Galatasaray at home. Will be a crucial match for both those teams for their chance to get through to knockouts of the Champions league, or get to Europa. Man United are the one in a tricky situation but they do have their last game at home. To give them better chances to get a result against Bayern.

I am not surprised at all by arsenals victory because who is Lens that can be compared to Arsenal and you know one thing I love about all these games, after winning six yesterday it has its own way of giving morale to the club and other clubs will shiver because of games like this not even a chance for the lens to score one goal I am practical impresses and with arsenal playing like this I still have some hopes on them, and even in the premier league my hopes are still high and am having a feeling that arsenal won't make the same mistake they made last season, giving out the trophy for manchester city for free that is what I will call it. and the majority of our top players scored yesterday talk of Havertz at first I didn't like the way Havertz was playing but I think now he is getting more confidence in his play which is much better than Saka gave one assist and scored one it was an impressive teamwork coming from arsenal yesterday.

the fans of Manchester United were disappointed yesterday and others getting tired of how the club is getting worse at their performance, especially onana always conceding goals the club is not improving and it is already clear that there is no future for Manchester United this season both in the premier league and champions league.

Am sure Lens will have a story to tell, of the damages they received from Arsenal yesterday not in any league but the Champions League, and am sure the damages must have made some of the players depressed yesterday, that is what I always want from arsenal they should always have a dangerous way of attack and an arsenal was smart yesterday because even their attack was different and they penetrated easily and at some point lens already know that there is no win for them in this game, they just kept playing with all hope lost, and it is natural for players to behave that way, that football for you but watching the game was full of fun and entertainment arsenal did well we just hope that they continue with the fire.

I do not know what was the game plan for Bayern Munich's game against Copenhagen because they played with their first eleven and they could not score a single goal even though they wanted a draw match. Harry Kane should have used clubs like Copenhagen to boost his chances of winning the Uefa Champions League top scorer but Bayern Munich failed to help Harry Kane achieve that.

Manchester United are in a poor position in Champions League Group A, with the Red Devils picking up just 4 points from their first five matches. Manchester United can't have an advantage against any team, Manchester United have performed poorly in other seasons but the performance in other seasons is better than the poor performance they have performed this season. The next match is against Bayern Munich which will not be easy for Manchester United and I will definitely favor Bayern Munich in this match and I believe Bayern Munich will win the next match. Bayern Munich is an unbeaten team in this Champions League group, Bayern Munich have played five matches where they have won 4 matches and drawn only one match.

The final match in group A will be quite interesting for both Copenhagen and Galatasaray, because both of them have the opportunity to qualify for the next round if one of them can win in their final match in group A of the Champions League. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be increasingly under pressure in their final match because they have to face Bayern Munich, even though Munich themselves may not be so determined to seek victory in their final match because Munich has already qualified for the next round with any result in their last match.

Arsenal took revenge on Lens. Arsenal, who managed to defeat their opponent 6-0 at home, showered Lens with goals. For the home team, who scored five goals in the first half, we can say that the match was actually over and won, we can say that the second half was played in form. Because it seemed impossible for Lens to recover after such a heavy first half. With this win, Arsenal are certain to leave the group as leaders. Although they didn't play very well in the match, it is necessary to say that the difference was so much because they made good use of their goal positions.

If someone tells me that Bayern Munich won't be able to beat Copenhagen, I'll tell them that's a lie because of how they're playing in the Champions League this season. Although the game ended in a draw, Bayern Munich did not give it their all yesterday; even Harry Kane, who has been playing exceptionally well, was unable to score a goal. I believe they did that because it qualified them for the Round of 16, but at least they ought to try to play a game that would satisfy the supporters.


Galatasaray's goals are all the result of Onanna. If someone argues that Onanna is not the issue, I will explain. Hakim Ziyech's two free kicks were simply small attempts at goal that Onana missed the post, allowing the goal to be scored. Given Onanna's performance from yesterday, even the academy goalie would not have performed that way. The team coach is also accountable for all of this, as he made a substitution that was ineffective despite Onanna's mistakes.


Real Madrid will always be Real Madrid; whether they have good players or not, they will always be able to play well. Because of the injuries to their players, I did not think Real Madrid would be able to defeat Napoli; the team's first goal confused me as to how they would win, but after Rodrigo's goal and another by Bellingham, I believe Real Madrid will prevail. Bellingham is currently the greatest midfield player in the world; he is a player who is willing to give his life for his team. Bellingham gave Joselu numerous assists yesterday, but he was unable to score, so I don't think signing Joselu is a wise move for Real Madrid.

Lens will never easily forget what Arsenal did to them yesterday because Arsenal seem to play the match with a serious retaliation because this there match and there last one also seem more like home advantage match because on the October third Arsenal went to the home of Lens and they make sure they put in all possible best to win Arsenal and at last lens manages to win Arsenal with 2-1.

So lens came back to Arsenal home yesterday and Arsenal decided to show lens that there performance is far better than lens so they decided to score as many goals as they can, but however considering there last meeting when lens won them I never believe that Arsenal could win them let alone score this much.

In the group of Round 5 games that were played this week, no team has numbers of goals like Arsenal. 6 is just a lucky dice number for Arsenal this week, no wonder Football troll was having his time with Arsenal for calling the Champions League a farmers league, great to see Jesus also running to be among the golden booth runners on the highest goal scorers. With this result, I think Arsenal will not suffer any defeat when they reach knockout stage.


Onana cost Manchester United so much in this journey, it's just so wrong to see Manchester United conceded 14 goals coming from a English team, that's poor to be honest, and anytime they interviewed Erik, he is always on speaking unrelated statement that doesn't align with the state of the team, I don't pity them.

Before this game, they have high chance of making it out of this group to the next stage but they fumble badly, I didn't expected them to lead easily but Galatasaray saw their weak point and dash them 3 goals easily and that satisfy the welcome logo they gave Manchester United of welcome to "he'll", they indeed saw hell yesterday.
