It was the most curious match of this stage of the Champions League and to be honest, considering how many mistakes the teams made, we can say that it was not a game of the Champions League level, but rather resembled the games in the conference league, because the level of play of the teams was very low.
In fact, all three goals conceded by Girona were the fault of Girona's players and it was especially frustrating to concede goals in the very end, especially considering that they were the winning goals for Feyenord.
Girona have 0 points in 2 games so far, plus Tsigankov is injured, which means there are even fewer options to put in the attack. We can say that Girona have only one normal striker left, it is 37 year old Stuani and in general I think the results of Girona will only worsen in the near future unfortunately.

Girona is on decline, but things are having not bad for this game as lady of luck was not with them and Feyenoord were lucky enough to have won this game overall Girona done job, but they need improvement because in this season until now they are having 10 games with just 2 wins and 5 loses mean things are going from bad to worse for them.

In start of this season, things were not favourable, but they have good start but suddenly now injuries and lack of quality is going to have huge impact on their campaign for this season mostly peoples were expecting situation like this because they are having idea average clubs like Girona not able to keep things on good level for long time just one season were enough now they are going back to their normal position as struggle for the relegation zone and keep things middle and lower half of the league table.

Most of the big teams that participated in the UEFA Champions League yesterday were unexpectedly defeated. For example, Atletico Madrid lost four goals to Benfica. Real Madrid lost 1-0 to LOSC Lille while one of the Bundesliga's strongest teams, Bayern Munich, were also unexpectedly defeated by Aston Villa. Among these matches I was watching the live broadcast of the match between Atletico Madrid and Benfica even observed only Benfica's goal celebration in that match. Benifica conceded two penalties against Atletico Madrid which helped them increase their goal score. Moreover, in this match Di Maria's team Benfica always advanced in terms of competition.

Benfica celebrated their second win of the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 season by defeating Atletico Madrid. With the win in this match, they have improved the standings a lot, as a result of which they have moved up to the third position with six points.

A match full of surprises but the most striking was Atletico Madrid's defeat by Benfica, no one expected that Atletico Madrid would lose by a score of 4 goals.

And another big surprise was Real Madrid's defeat by the French team, this was quite surprising to me because Lille is a team that is not favored in the Champion League this season but in fact they managed to beat Real Madrid.

And in another match that caught my attention was Juventus' victory, this was quite dramatic, they managed to win at Leipzig's stadium even though they only played with 10 players after their goalkeeper Di Gregorio got a red card in the 59th minute but Juventus was able to turn the score into a victory for them with a score of 3-2.

Juventus had a good performance against Leipzig and we saw a dramatic game between these two teams. The sad thing for Juventus is they had two injured players at the start of the match and Motta had to make two substitutions just 12 minutes after the start of the game. This definitely affected the performance of Juventus in this game but it was not all and Michele Di Gregorio the player of Juventus left the field because of the red card and this made Juventus play with one fewer player. However still Juventus won the game won the game with a 3-2 result against Leipzig.

Bayern Munich had so many ways to find a goal last night Aston Villa's defense was so strong, this is Emery's tactic which is quite effective in making Bayern Munich frustrated.

Honestly, Bayern Munich had some clear chances, but they were not lucky enough to convert them into goals. Aston Villa also had a good chance, but they were just lucky to score goals, which led them to victory. Honestly, I don't think Bayern Munich should have lost that match to Aston Villa. Aston Villa surprised me by winning against an experienced team like Bayern Munich. Emery has been a great help to Aston Villa. It is not only in the Champions League that Aston Villa is doing well, but also in the domestic league. Emery is an experienced, tactical coach.

Look at the losing bets... how about you, who chose Real Madrid and Bayern Munich?

That is football for everyone; football comes with surprising outcomes that people never expect. This is why betting is all about luck. Real Madrid is a great and experienced Champions League team, and nobody expects them to lose any match in the Champions League unless they face a strong team like Manchester City, Barcelona, or Bayern Munich, who also have considerable experience in the competition. It was really surprising to almost everyone when Real Madrid lost the match to Lille. However, the match that surprised me the most was Benfica's match against Atletico Madrid, where Benfica was able to defeat Atletico with four goals."

Barcelona against young boys bern was a super one for the Barcelona's.
In this match fans were excited how their Players Played the match I see this their new coach has changed the players in their velocity .

Barcelona as a team having young players like Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres in their front, Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo in their middle and Jules kounde in their defense with this their new coach Hansi Flick.

It was a kudos for the Barcelona's team ended the game on 5-0 against Young boys despites how good the Young boys team were in the game.

After that bad start by a Monaco loss, this was really needed. Barcelona were overwhelming their opponent on paper already and they showed it in action clearly too. Grin

Hansi Flick era is just awesome!

Monaco loss was an unexpected one, they should have won the game so they could have been six points already, which would have helped them a lot because there would be six games left and I believe being at around 12 points will guarantee at least that new knock out stage between 9th and 24th team things, the one before the last sixteen. So with six games left, they would need only six points out of potential 18.

Now they need 9 points at least out of potential 18, which will be hard because they will face some good teams too, and they need to win every game they can. Yeah those three games were totally unexpected, it was the week for sprotbooks to be happy, they probably made a lot of money, many people lost money on either at least one of them or maybe even all of them. Shame for such a bad period and many games which resulted in shocking results. I doubt anyone would be smart enough to bet on, Lille, Benfica and Villa to win all at the same time, lmao.

What is really happening to these teams who we thought can bring their best in the Champions league this season, Madrid have never been brilliant since this season, ATH that spent almost £400 (if I'm not mistaken) can't even get things together, losing 4nil against Benfica, Bayern Munich who have been one of the consistent clubs when you talk about clubs that don't miss out for years in the UCL, you mention them but they (Bayern Munich) could not get their second win in the champions league, losing 1nil to Aston Villa was a shocker and nobody expected that to happen.
This very season's champions league is fun I must say and if care if not taken some of these big teams won't make it to the next round. What's happening to those teams mentioned? What's your take on what happened in the champions league games on Tuesday and Wednesday, who's going to get hold of the trophy this season?

In this season things are looking amazing as we are having too much entertainment and few teams are giving surprises as well which are part of the Champions League but as we are having defeats for the clubs like Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich it's amazing until now we are having dominance of the English clubs which is another interesting thing happening in this season we are having no defeat for the four English clubs in two rounds.

Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are amazing because their performance and quality are having another level in this season few more clubs are giving their best but still we can have changes in coming rounds because this is going to be one of the best season in Champions League history.
With the new format it's not easy to predict about winner because we are having many ups and downs in coming days and things will be taken too many changes as well so for having clarity for the top spots we have to wait for more games.

With the new format of the Champions League many team are doing their best ability to preform well in the league. Although we are still at the beginning of the league, so we can still predict what will be there performance in the future, because if you could still remember no one expected Real Madrid to lose their game yesterday, but they did. And the must surprising thing is that they are still the 17 in the table, while, Dortmund are at the top of the table. But that don’t still means that the Champions League will continue like that everything is capable of happening and I still have the feeling that those teams that we have hope on and we always see them at the leading in the champions league will still maintain their chances, because they have more experience that some of the team that are presently at the top of the table now.

Basically Aston Villa and Lille are not weak teams but at the same time, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will always be seen as having better quality. Not only that, because Bayern Munich also has a very good trend at the beginning of this season with its new manager Kompany, because Bayern Munich also won with a very large score in previous matches. Thus, it is not surprising that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also have high dominance in the match but unfortunately, their opposing team managed to make a quick counterattack and maximize it to score a goal.

You are right, Lille and Aston Villa were never as bad as some say. Both teams are not weak and they can ruin the party that the favorite team is hoping for. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid lost surprisingly well, but it's clear this isn't the end for either of them. There are still a lot of games they haven't played, so there is still a lot of hope for these two teams to take the lead and qualify for the round of 16.

It is no wonder that the counterattack tactic will work very well for non seeded teams, and I also experienced defeat because I have Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

This is the risk for anyone who bets only on favorite teams. The favorite team cannot always win matches that are considered easy, even if their meeting record is good. Team performance sometimes drops and is not as expected, this must be taken into consideration because there is always a risk of losing in matches where we think it is easy to guess the winner.

Indeed Lille and Aston Villa are not weak teams in their domestic leagues but defeating the big teams is something surprising not to mention Real Madrid and Bayern Munich losing simultaneously with the underdog team, there will be many bettors who have to lose money in this match including myself, feeling upset and emotions will always be there to see the favorite team lose.

Even people say Real Madrid and Bayern munich should win on paper, because this match anything can happen with an underdog team class can win at their home.
Already a bad start for them will not be long, they still have a chance to qualify compared to Lille and Aston Villa, this defeat was not expected but the upcoming matches they will be different again.

Football is full of surprises and last night games were full of surprises and a lot of gamblers lost their bet because no one will ever believe that Lille will win Real Madrid the defending champion and Benefica will humiliate Atletico Madrid to that extent.

Bayern who has never been beaten since Kompany took over a manager was defeated yesterday by an average English Club Aston Villa. It was a memorable day for Aston Villa as they were able to win Bayern who they have not being able to win in the past 46 years ago. I think the new Champions League format is kicking some clubs off their feet until they get adapted to it.

It cannot be denied that indeed for the second week of the Champions League it leaves a lot of surprises that are worth discussing, the defeat of Bayern and Madrid which in fact is an unexpected situation makes this a thing that is actually difficult to believe and I believe that in the end there will be a lot of people who fail in this bet because the conditions on the field do not match what is expected but this is football where everything is difficult to predict and there are always unexpected events like this.

On the other hand, what concerns me in the second week of matches is Dortmund against Celtic. It's not the score that I really want to discuss but look at the two protests made by the supporters where Die Schwarzgelben made a statement that did not support the Champions League format system because they thought UEFA only wanted to make profits without seeing the conditions of the players who were suspended and the Green Brigade was always consistent with its support for the genocide problem.

Bayern Munich had so many ways to find a goal last night Aston Villa's defense was so strong, this is Emery's tactic which is quite effective in making Bayern Munich frustrated.

They both had chances to score many goals in the match, but only Aston Villa was able to score just one goal in the match. Both of them had a strong defense in the match, and they both played well, but Aston Villa was able to score a goal in the match.

Real Madrid disappointed most people in their match yesterday, Most people that placed bets on yesterday’s Champions League match will pick Real Madrid in their bet, and I don’t think anyone will even predict Real Madrid to lose the match, the loss came as a surprise to everyone. I wasn’t surprised by the result of the Bayern match. Aston Villa is not a weak team, so I expected the match to be a difficult one, and Aston Villa were able to get three points in the match.

Basically Aston Villa and Lille are not weak teams but at the same time, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will always be seen as having better quality. Not only that, because Bayern Munich also has a very good trend at the beginning of this season with its new manager Kompany, because Bayern Munich also won with a very large score in previous matches.

To be honest Bayern Munich played very well but was very unlucky in front of the goal and the Goalkeeper from Aston Villa got was awesome in this game.
For sure or hopefully Munich will be learn from the match and making it better in the future in there next game.
But from all the games it shows that also the big Clubs like , Munich or Real Madrid can be beaten every other team even they have so much star players.
Looking forward to the next game between Dortmund against Real Madrid.

The Champions League is never boring because of this. That is, sometimes the favorite team loses and a team that is considered weak can actually win. Even though it's quite annoying. Because we have bet with great confidence. But the results were not as expected. On the other hand, a club like Dortmund can actually play an extraordinary game which makes them win with a big score. The big teams that were favorites but suffered defeat yesterday, such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, were not all lucky. especially Real Madrid and Bayern who have fought well but are not good at finishing. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid experienced defeat because they did not play well enough and only continued to receive attacks from their opponents in greater numbers.

In the third UCL match, which is 3 weeks from now, there are 2 matches that will be very interesting for us to look forward to. Namely the Real Madrid match against Dortmund and also the Barcelona vs Bayern match which everyone will definitely be looking forward to. Let's see whether when facing fellow strong teams, Real Madrid and Bayern will win or not.

Dunno, I feel like they've tried to pick one player out of each team to make it look more random when there were clearly duos that worked perfectly through the game, of course, I didn't watch all matches and just the highlight but it would have been impossible even for the ones doing those to watch one a half day of football so I really think they just picked the ones that did best for the camera from each game.

I find the pick from flashscore far more down to earth even if it's not that randomly and more let's say down to earth.

I can't blame the players because they do their best, it's just that they didn't get the opportunity in the match because they do well on the pitch, and if it's the second leg, I'm sure Madrid will definitely defeat them at home.

Bruh, you have no clue how the Champions League works, right?
There will be no "at home" match between them again, there are just 8 rounds each team plays 4 at home and 4 away with 8 different adversaries, and there will be no rematch.

I didn't expect Real Madrid defeat by Lille a League 1 club, even though Lille is not a strong enough club for Madrid and of course many people don't believe that Madrid could experience a defeat like this.
Lille made it difficult for Madrid even though Madrid tried to make many shots but none of them were successful. Lille really kept their defense tight and they were lucky to get a penalty so they could excel over Madrid and win.

Madrid was indeed more favored in the match, but Lille played very well. Madrid did not press Lille's game completely. and that resulted in Lille's game also being able to develop. even Lille was quite confident in playing the ball in their own defense when getting pressure from Madrid players.

It was surprising that Madrid could not chase the 1 goal after trying to play Mbappe, Modric, and also Arda Guler. I thought at least they would play with both of them to score. but that didn't happen. a pretty bad result for Madrid.

Real Madrid did not have the opportunity to break their defensive line, which is why the one goal stand and Lille finish the game with three points. Madrid are the favorites to win the game because Lille are not in better form, but they get the chance to win Madrid in the UCL, the fans motivate Lille very well, and they do everything they can to prevent Madrid from scoring a goal, and they get the opportunity to end the game with a one-goal victory for them. I can't blame the players because they do their best, it's just that they didn't get the opportunity in the match because they do well on the pitch, and if it's the second leg, I'm sure Madrid will definitely defeat them at home. Ancelotti will be very weak, because he won't expect that Lille can win them in the game but that is football, we usually see surprise in different matches in some competitions so is normally thing that madrid lose in the ucl, they finish last season without defeat and this time they didn't get the chance of keeping the records.

Talking of Bayern they have every right to end that game right from the beginning but it seems they were over confidence in that game and they lost focus. The goals Duran scored is never Neuer's fault, we know Bayern to be playing a very high style of football just like Manchester City were everyone will be at the half and it went wrong for them even if they're good this season but a little mistake can cost a team the game. For Madrid I think they're good at playing poorly from the start of the campaign and when it matters you see them getting serious, I'm speaking from what I saw last season but this time around they're not even high spirited in any way. ATM's problem is something they always have inside which is play to draw a game they know they can't win and you see them defending like it's the finals, I think Benfica took advantage of the fact that they're always going to defend and it ended up in their (Benfica) favor.

Dont make it sound so easy for Bayern to have won the game. If you had watched the game like you claimed you would've seen how the Aston Villa defenders were covering every single space. It became much harder for Bayern after Villa scored. Because they focused more on defending. And let's not forget about Martinez the Vilas keeper. That dude was a hell of a man. He punched every ball out and made the Bayern Munich striker frustrated. In the last 5 minutes of the game. Bayern had one good opportunity and it was so close to being a goal but Matinez saved the game. Bayern received late. In the first half, they were too comfortable like they would score later on. It took them as a shock after all to see that not even a goal came out of the game.

All thanks to Atletico midfielders and defender for their reluctance. I dont think they know what they came to the UCL to do. Why will the players feel reluctant on the field? Go back and watch the highlight in that game. The penalties they conceded were a result of the defenders not going for the ball early. After watching 20 minutes of the game I switched it up to Bayern because it was a terrible match to see Atletico playing in that way.

Oh, I'm Sorry I didn't watch the game big man, please can you help me with the highlight?😏 I'm not in any way making it look easy for Bayern Munich, if you see a team that's good you'd know and the Barbarians are good in all aspects, if they go out to play a game you'd expect them to come back with all 3pt because of how they are. You made the whole thing look like Bayern Munich haven't faced teams that are much stronger than Aston Villa or worse than what we saw last night and they do come back victorious, so that game last night everyone was looking at the Bayern side to win that game. Aston Villa did what they had to do to stop them and you won't use the way the English side played as an excuse why Bayern lost, no that's how it's suppose to be for them to win the game which they did.
To be honest with you, watching ATM in the UCL is boring because they only have one pattern of playing which is to defend and it seems like they're not serious about what's happening. And I think is time for ATM to part ways with the coach Diego Simone, he has tried but they need an upgrade if not they're only going to be a stagnant water, always showing us same thing every season.

You don’t need that much of a 17 points, while the new champions league format was formed many football agregrators ran simulations then and most of them got it that 15 points was ok to finish in the top 8 and at least 11 also ok to get into the playoffs. That means a five wins will get any team there or combination of draws to get the 15 points. Right now it is worrying for Milan but their remaining fixtures looks like they could go a long all the way to even qualify for the round of 16.

AC Milan remaining fixtures are; Club Brugge, Real Madrid, Sparta Bratislava, Crvena Zvezda, Girona and Dinamo GNK. This six fixtures with the exception of Real Madrid should be a three point matches for the Milan club, although if they don’t buckle up I see upset from matches like Girona and Club Brugge, so it is still in their grasp to get at least a playoff place

The new format gives the opportunity to correct even the most difficult situation that arose at the beginning. I thought that Milan would be able to not lose in the match with Bayer, but apparently Fonseca's team is not all right yet, and the Champions League matches are much more difficult for them than the matches in Serie A, where things are going much better for them. Milan and Leipzig remain the two biggest surprises, who after two rounds remained without points.

We have seen excellent performances from Milan in the last few matches. AC Milan won against Inter Milan. It is mainly because of this that our expectations from Milan were high. Most gamblers thought that AC Milan would win this match. But in the end the match was narrowly won by Leverkusen 1-0.

But it cannot be said that AC Milan performed badly in this match. I would say Leverkusen and Milan were almost equally strong teams. And the performance of the players of both the teams was good in this match. 50% possession of the ball by the players of both teams. Even both teams made 16 shots. Milan performed well, but the team failed to win until the end. If the opponent was a bit weaker, maybe Milan could have won. The Leverkusen team is quite stable. Also Xabi Alonso is a very talented coach.

Last night strong teams were humiliated, we saw Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and even Atlético Madrid. These strong teams have lost in the Champions League with the opposition which is really humiliating for the teams, moreover most people lost their bets most people bet on these strong teams. Real Madrid were under a lot of disappointment, and Bayern Munich also put in a disappointing performance. Bayern Munich's loss against Stony Billah is not really worth it, as Bayern Munich scored nine goals, the highest in Champions League history, in the first match, where the team lost. I think these teams try hard enough they can cope with the opposition rather it was a disappointing performance.

Nobody expected what happened this week in the champions league, for those Individual that took the risk and bet on the small teams to win, they are going to be making lots of profits from their bets. This lost might be as a result of big teams are now playing too many games and it's making their players to become tired. The smaller clubs took advantage of this week and some of their players are now in the team of the week that just came out. Winning just one game isn't a big deal if the teams can't keep us the spirit of trying their best to win again therefore we have to wait until the next game week to see what happens and how the big teams are going to respond to the defeat that just happened.

PSG's coach is to blame for not fielding a full squad in the Champions League match against Arsenal. Even though Dembale is not injured, he is not included in the squad. Arsenal is eager to win after losing to Atalanta and will not want to lose again. It is possible that the coach only wants Arsenal to win because if they play their entire squad, they will be successful. But I heard that they suspended Dembele, which is why he is not in the squad. Liverpool are playing against Bologna and assure he will be win for the Red this night, because they are better then Bologna this season, and they are in real good form nothing will stop Liverpool from not winning today expect the coach didn't put better players in the information because that is what psg did yesterday and make wrong decisions ad arsenal get the opportunity of defeating them in the ucl.

It is important to maintain discipline in the club regardless of player’s status and importance in a club, no player is bigger than the club so I understand the manager’s decision to keep Dembele out of the lineup in the game against Arsenal but that shouldn’t be a reason they must lose. On the night Arsenal were the better team and they controlled the game well and were very good defensively making it difficult for PSG to score.

I am also surprised by PSG in this match, even though they dominated possession, they were stuck in scoring goals but Enrique only made two substitutions, Enrique should have made many substitutions when the team was stuck like this, including bringing in Dembele.

But despite all that, Arsenal deserved to win, Arteta's tactics are now richer and more flexible. Arteta is increasingly mature in coaching Arsenal when playing against opponents from different clubs, their tactics are also different. It can be said that Arteta's philosophy is developing, more opportunistic and pragmatic. Arteta is the most complete coach in terms of defensive tactics and open play. Not always the position of the ball, it could be that today the bus parking tactic only relies on counterattacks but in the next match the tactics change again.

In essence, Arteta's current game, plays many versatile players who can change positions in an instant depending on the needs of the game.

Football is full of surprises and last night games were full of surprises and a lot of gamblers lost their bet because no one will ever believe that Lille will win Real Madrid the defending champion and Benefica will humiliate Atletico Madrid to that extent.

Bayern who has never been beaten since Kompany took over a manager was defeated yesterday by an average English Club Aston Villa. It was a memorable day for Aston Villa as they were able to win Bayern who they have not being able to win in the past 46 years ago. I think the new Champions League format is kicking some clubs off their feet until they get adapted to it.

I was surprised seeing the result of the game that Aston Villa played against Bayern Munich. You know that everybody is saying Bayern Munich is going to be a very tough team this in the Champions League competition. Although I know that the luck was not by their side this time around, everybody did not expect the match to end like this. Even I personally thought Bayern Munich would find this match very easy to win, not knowing that Aston Villa are ready for Bayern Munich in this match.

Unfortunately, after playing with even the team that is tougher than Aston Villa and they played the matches, Aston Villa turned out to win against Bayern Munich. That is football; everything can happen regardless of how good a team is. If the luck wasn’t by their side, they would find it difficult to win the match. Let’s continue watching Kompany matches to see if he will still be dominating as he has been doing since the start of the season.

Everyone gets choked when most big clubs lose games, as Bayern Munich has been doing this season, and you won't think Aston Villa will have the opportunity to overcome them in the UCL. But that's football; any club you don't anticipate to win a game and then surprise you; when I saw Aston Villa leading, I assumed the game would conclude in a draw, but they play admirably and save the home. Aston Villa are performing well, and if they can continue like this in the Champions League, they will go a long way in the competition, and if they have luck, they may even win the trophy, but it will not be easy because they still have tough club in the ucl. if they get chance against other club another club can win them that is football, let see how there next games will be. Aston Villa will face Bologna in there next ucl and am sure he will be a winning game for them Bologna ae not in better shape this season and they lost there game with Liverpool yesterday so am sure they will still lost against Aston Villa in there next game.

Are you kidding me, Barcelona is currently in 16th place out of 32 teams competing in the UCL, they are currently in the middle of the table, not at the bottom of the standings. Didn't the board of directors just do it, Hansi Flick just started his career as Barcelona coach this season replacing Xavi Hernandez who was fired last season. At this time it cannot be said that Barcelona's results in La Liga and the Champions League are very disappointing, they are still at the top of the La Liga standings and have just beaten Young Boys 5-0 on the second Matchday of the UCL.

Barcelona is muscling up and they want doing everything possible to see their self to the top and maintenaning or tying to is actually a very good move coming from Barcelona, and they are gradually climbing sixteen is not actually a bad idea. It is now as if flick was a breakthrough for Barcelona and kicking starting the season have been going very well. I just hope that flick does not end up like xavi because it looks like a lot of clubs are not playing this season if you don't perform well as a coach then they will fire you it's now like a new trend. Barcelona are doing well in la liga they are currently topping the table and this shows that a lot of things will be changing because am trying to understand Madrid after the whole hype that was giving their performance is not yet satisfactory.

Barcelona is indeed improving his name which last year was immersed because it could not give good results and made many people disappointed, while their financial problems last season made Barcelona less optimal in playing, the dismissal of Xavi was expected to provide fresh air that could be brought by New coach Hansi Flick because he did not have severe thoughts on the problems that exist in Barcelona, and yes finally Barcelona can show back after a long time underestimated and considered to have no development, and UA is the opposite with Madrid's performance that has extraordinary expectations with strength His team, apparently they did not match this temporary expectation.

You don’t need that much of a 17 points, while the new champions league format was formed many football agregrators ran simulations then and most of them got it that 15 points was ok to finish in the top 8 and at least 11 also ok to get into the playoffs. That means a five wins will get any team there or combination of draws to get the 15 points. Right now it is worrying for Milan but their remaining fixtures looks like they could go a long all the way to even qualify for the round of 16.

AC Milan remaining fixtures are; Club Brugge, Real Madrid, Sparta Bratislava, Crvena Zvezda, Girona and Dinamo GNK. This six fixtures with the exception of Real Madrid should be a three point matches for the Milan club, although if they don’t buckle up I see upset from matches like Girona and Club Brugge, so it is still in their grasp to get at least a playoff place

The new format gives the opportunity to correct even the most difficult situation that arose at the beginning. I thought that Milan would be able to not lose in the match with Bayer, but apparently Fonseca's team is not all right yet, and the Champions League matches are much more difficult for them than the matches in Serie A, where things are going much better for them. Milan and Leipzig remain the two biggest surprises, who after two rounds remained without points.
