I was expecting that Manchester City football team will win by 2-0 but we saw a different match and match was ended with no result and both teams got 1,1 point. But I didn't impressed by that kind of match and I want more goals and more shots but we watched very less shots and we saw very less shots on target. Man City team could not do single goal in this match due to best defenders of Inter Milan team and they focused on only to stop the ball. The shots of Manchester City were 22 and their shots on target were 5 and in comparison, the Inter Milan team shorts were less and their passes were also less but they became successful to draw this match because he decided to draw this match. If Inter Milan team would try to win this match, they could lose this match.

I also have the same thought. Inter Milan is fully aware that they will not be able to cope with Man City's open game, moreover, they played as guests in that match, therefore they chose to play defensive football. With that strategy, Inter Milan will clearly lose in ball possession but they could reduce Man City's chances of scoring goals. Besides that, Inter Milan also had several good opportunities obtained through counter-attacks.

Barcelona's loss against AS Monaco was truly incredible and a shocker. AS Monaco is a normal team compared to Barcelona, but they won the match with a great chance. Barcelona's Eric Garcia commits a shocking foul ten minutes into the game, causing the referee to send him off with a red card. When a Barcelona team player was sent off after receiving a red card, the opposition team took advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong attack and successfully scored a goal. AS Monaco only managed a goal on 16 minutes, although Lamine Yamal equalized for Barcelona on 28 minutes. After a great attack later, Barcelona scored another goal in the 71st minute and AS Monaco won with that goal, which was a surprise.

I totally disagree with you for calling Monaco a normal team. we have many great talents. we have known for producing top footballers.

In fact, Monaco beat Barcelona. we successfully exposed Barcelona (flickball) main weakness. they were using high-lane defense due to their aggressive tactics. And they ran into problems against fast-paced offensive players owned by us.

Also, they should have played 10 vs 11 after Eric got a red card. Playing with fewer players is always hard against a full team.

It showed how a club like Monaco can't be underrated.

Personally, I don't see Monaco as an average club because they are in the champions league. An average club will not qualify to UCL, for you to know that they are good was the tactics that they used to overpower Barcelona with one man down.

If Barcelona were deperate to win this match Gracia will not make an expensive mistake which cost them losing the match. Monaco deserves the victory because Barcelona started with 11 players but due to careless decisions by Gracia made them 10 men.

The most notable match of the day was Manchester City and Inter in the Champions League stages. What was more notable was that Manchester City could not score a single goal. I was expecting a match like this to end with both teams scoring or maybe over. It was not very enjoyable to watch either as the match ended in a draw and there were no goals scored by either team.

I was expecting that Manchester City football team will win by 2-0 but we saw a different match and match was ended with no result and both teams got 1,1 point.

We have seen Barcelona do well in every match in La Liga but whenever they come up against teams that are relatively easier than them in the Champions League, they do poorly. Monaco is not a stronger team than Barcelona at all and Barcelona should have won against this opponent. When it comes to the Champions League, Barcelona are usually seen on the opposite side of Real Madrid.

Like Real Madrid always do well in Champions League matches and even if they don't have quality players in their squad, they perform well in Champions League but not so with Barcelona. While Barcelona performed well in La Liga, they did poorly in the Champions League against weaker opponents. They had a poor performance in the opening match of the Champions League, maybe this is how they will end their Champions League journey.

In today's match of Monaco vs Barcelona team, Monaco team won the match by scoring 2 goals. On the other hand, Barcelona team scored 1 goal, but if Barcelona team scored one more goal, this match could have been drawn, but the players of Barcelona team did not perform well in today's match, so in today's match, Monaco team won by 2 goals. Barcelona team's E. García received red cards in 10 minutes for which Barcelona team could not do well in this match.

The expected entertaining match ended up being one-sided after the referee sent off Eric Garcia with a red card. The game is clearly no longer balanced when one team plays with an incomplete squad, but Barcelona still managed to give their best despite having to accept defeat from Monaco. Playing at home really made Monaco perform well, they were really good and this victory was worth celebrating. So in the end Barcelona had to accept their first defeat which ruined Hansi Flick's good record with 5 consecutive wins.

This defeat started from Eric Garcia's careless mistake in fouling Takumi Minamino and therefore Monaco appeared more aggressive with the advantage in number of players. Hansi Flick's strategy change after Garcia's red card was initially good because Barcelona was also able to score an equalizer through Lamine Yamal's goal, but again Barcelona had to concede a goal due to a mistake in the back line when George Ilenikhena escaped the offside trap. There must be an improvement in the next match, of course Barcelona cannot lose 2 times in a row if they want to secure a ticket to the last 16.

It was a real surprise. I am not underestimating Monaco but Barcelona is a team on a level above Monaco. Almost everyone thought Barcelona would be able to win this match. Or if Barca played badly they would get a draw. The match was going well and Barcelona were dominating the match. But the red card received by Eric Garcia in the 10th minute changed the match significantly. Playing with 11 vs 10 made Monaco play aggressively using the man advantage. And Monaco managed to play well and won the match 2-1. This is not a good result for Barcelona. But there are still a few more matches and I am sure they will get a win soon.

Barcelona couldn't do well because of the red card given to Garcia in the early minutes of the match; if not for the red card, you and I know that Barcelona wouldn't have suffered their first defeat under the watch of Hansi Flick as Barcelona managed.
The 2-1 yesterday defeat of Barcelona by Monaco was quite surprising. The defeat was unexpected based on how the Barcelona team has built the formation of their team since the start of the season without losing any single match in Laliga. Nevertheless, it's a well-deserved victory for Monaco; let them be this lucky to have an away win match against Dinamo Zegra as they have to face them next, while Barcelona will do their best to make sure they win young boys in their next Champions League match on October 1.

Barca were the favorites but Eric Garcia got a red card in the 10th minute and they had to play with 10 men for a very long time. Nevertheless, they scored the equalizer and had chances to win the game but couldn't capitalize. It was an unfortunate result for Barca but we can't blame them too much. The only criticism we can make is that Flick didn't make any changes until the 2nd goal they conceded. He could have intervened earlier in the game.
Away games will be difficult in the new format of the Champions League. If they don't make mistakes in the home games, Barca will still have a top 8 chance. It's bad to start with a defeat, but we have seen how this team plays in La Liga. They will get better.

Barcelona were strong enough to have win in this game with Monaco is another mediocre club from French Ligue 1 which is not capable of having any challenge for them, but early red card to Eric Garcia completely change the match even we have good performance from the Yamal and Barcelona but in second half we have nothing special from them which let them down and out of the match which is huge upset for their fans.

New format is surely going to be interesting with things are still favourable for Barcelona to recover from this defeat and having better results in coming matches but now as we have to watch them in coming games how they will be handled this and having better results for going through into top 8 because in other case they have to go for the qualification which is also not challenge for them, but they have to learn from their mistakes.

We all know what was the main reason for Barcelona to lose this match against Monaco, they had a good start and they could beat Monaco in this game but still, the red card they got in this match was game-changing and this affected the whole game for Barcelona. This a good chance for Monaco to score a goal after Barcelona had one fewer player. They just used the opportunity.
Yamal helped his team in this game and very soon after Monaco scored the goal, Yamal scored a goal for Barcelona to have a come back however he could do everything by himself and they lost it with a 2-1 result.

Bayer started their way in the Champions League very well, I didn't think that they would be able to beat Feyenoord away, here is the answer to how good Bayer can be in the Champions League. Their next opponents will be Milan and Brest, considering how weak Milan looks now, I think they have a chance to consolidate at the top of the table, at least in these first matches. The most difficult match will be with Liverpool, but Bayer was lucky with their opponents, not the most difficult ones.

Just for information that each team will play 8 matches in the Champions League for the first stage then the top 8 teams will take their place in the next round while the other 16 teams will continue to fight through the playoffs so that overall there will be 24 teams that will compete in the next round. If we talk about Leverkusen, they will face some tough matches at least 4 matches are considered fierce well, if Leverkusen can get through this match, their steps will be easier, yeah Leverkusen have started well.

If we check the predictions of the Champions League winners Leverkusen is in 6th position or the same position as PSG and Atletico Madrid this means that Leverkusen is one of the favorite teams among the 6 other teams but Leverkusen's experience is not much better in this competition, we still remember how they were defeated in the Europa League last season. Maybe Alonso took important experience from the last competition so let's see what they can do at this level.

Barcelona has very young players who don't have the confidence and boldness to play with one man down and win the match.

Barcelona has a good player resource from La Massia but youth player quality from it can be good or bad, they can not grow up every player to be Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and after their golden era years ago, they did not get good youth players from La Massia. Until recently they had Lamine Yamal who is very promising to be a next super star player, to compete with Mbappe and Haaland for Ballon d'Or in future.

About mentality of young players, they are weak and very few youth players can play with super high confidence like Yamal. In order to help youth players play well, even they are talented, Barcelona must combine youth players to their squad with experienced players very cleverly. It's a way to grow up youth players, support and defend them against pressure.

Quote

I think the coach should always prepare them for a man down mindset so that they can know how to play the match and draw it than losing it because it is possible.

It's exactly one of responsibility of a head coach because if youth players are used in a wrong way, pressure and expectation, then injuries will destroy their career very quickly.

Damn looking over the table and over the results of week 1 I can only say how BAD this extension was!!
I mean seriously, we will see a lot more of those blowout wins, believe me.
Who needs 2 teams from Croatia, 2 teams from Austria, 4 teams from France and so on.

Too many teams that just don't belong and make the whole league a joke. It's called champions league, not everybody can join league. Some of the teams never in their history have been the champion in the domestic league and here they are, playing with the big guys.
That just shows yet again how broken UEFA as well as FIFA is. Money money money, more games, more teams, more money. What a boring contest this has become!

When it comes to corruption I can never write any team out but I believe there are called the big boys for some reason, I mean if the teams you said aren't supposed to be there are there and they don't deserve it then it shouldn't be any problem for the so called big boys to eliminate them and get to the way they were before so for me am just enjoying the whole thing.

It was the same thing that happened last season against PSG when Barcelona was winning 1-0 and a red card made them scared because of weak mentality that they can still win the match if they don't play with fear but with hope of winning PSG. Look at it, the same thing has happened to them the season and they still lost the match.

I think Leverkusen will be the dark horse this season so clubs like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Man City have new competitors this season who also have a chance to compete for the UCL title.

Nah, Leverkusen is only beat weak teams, it's nothing to compare with Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City. They didn't even stay at the top in Bundesliga, so I really not expecting anything for Leverkusen in Champions League.

Leverkusen is really lucky to meet weak teams in Champions League, we need to wait in November where they meet Liverpool.

Maybe they can make a great impression this season right ? I mean , I'm sure the entire squad wants to make a great run in current season of UCL and that's why I won't be surprised to actually see them finishing in top 8 of UCL League.

However , like you said above , the real challenge for them will be when they face stronger and more powerful teams because Leverkusen hasn't tested themselves yet with teams like Real , City or even Inter and that is where the real test begins for them. If they can gather points against these teams , then they can qualify further as well. Cool

I mean Atalanta - Arsenal wasn't that boring to me in terms of performances. But it still made me disappointed because of not seeing any goal. Sad

By the way have you seen Raya's saves? It was really great to watch. It seems like Arsenal has done the right thing with making him a permanent signing. Because he gets better in time obviously.

I was sad for Barcelona. I and probably most people bet on their win after watching Hansi Flick effect in many games so far. But Eric Garcia reduced my hopes by that too early red card. But it was totally ter Stegen's fault as his pass was going to cause them to concede a goal.

The first game of the Champions League was very unpredictable. For the last four games the results made many of my betting lists fail. Barcelona and RB Leipzig made me fail to get a win. The unexpected one was Barcelona's defeat to Monaco.
For the Atalanta vs Arsenal match, I chose a draw and Arsenal for me always go against the predictions so I often don't choose Arsenal to win in most of their games.

UEFA Champions League is competitive. Aggressive attack triggered by Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso knows his roots and familiar with oppositions he faced in the UEFA Champions League. Bayer Leverkusen heavily thrashed Feyenoord as if they were no opposing threat for them. We understand the moving momentum of Leverkusen in this particular game. Mounting all pressuring actions in the first half which led to them scoring 4 clean goals and in the second half, a bit of distant features was shared. The home team managed to apply defensive style towards the visitors.

Leverkusen lost one match in the Bundesliga. For this, the group has faced a lot of criticism. And many have said that the Leverkusen side will not be able to continue this season's dominance like last season. But in the last match in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen's players performed very well. And in the Champions League matches, we saw very good gameplay from the Leverkusen players.

Today's match was Feyenoord's home match. However, Feyenoord's players could not make any advantage against Leverkusen. Feyenoord's players attacked a lot in the first half, but they couldn't break Leverkusen's defense. Even in the first half, Feyenoord fell behind with a big margin of 4-0. After that, the team could not make a comeback in the second half. We saw defensive gameplay from both teams in the second half. The Leverkusen team were happy to win 4-0.

That's still too soon to talk about Leverkusen if they can have a good performance in the Champions League or not because there is still a long way ahead for them considering the games they will have in this tournament against much harder teams. But they had a good start and they won the game against Feyenoord with a 4-0 result which is very good for Xabi Alonso and his players because Feyenoord couldn't score a goal against them while Leverkusen scored four goals in this match.
Florian Wirtz was their best player because he scored two goals in this match.

Leverkusen is really lucky to meet weak teams in Champions League, we need to wait in November where they meet Liverpool.

Leverkusen's opponent, Feyenoord was the top 2 of last season's Eredivisie. This season they were not so good at the beginning and became unlucky again because they had to face several strong teams in the Champions League.
In addition to Liverpool, Leverkusen will also face Milan, Inter, and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Of course, they are not weak teams that can be easily defeated by Leverkusen.
The new system implemented for the Champions League is interesting. All teams will work hard to maximize their chances of winning from their first 8 matches. So no one is lucky to face a weak team or feels unlucky to face a stronger team.

Absolutely — I don't know how the draws were made (not like I care) but I went through everyone's fixtures and everything seem to tally right. While Feyenoord will be playing 3 of the strongest teams in the tournament which I don't see them winning any, they'd have the opportunity to garner some points when they play against teams their own size. Regarding their recent performances, it looks like it has dipped just like Ajax for a few years now.

At the end of the day, teams we are all familiar with will take the first 8 tickets to the round of 16s I'm sure.
