It's really mind blowing to see the results in this week.

Well done for both Martinez and Chevalier, they saved so many attack during high pressure.

I like the way Aston Villa won the match because they proving if the one deserve to win, they will win at the end. They prove it because the first goal was offside, however they keep trying till they can score a goal.

The current standings is full of underdog.

Real Madrid team performed so badly I never thought, because the squad was strong enough to lose this game. I lost the bet in favor of Real Madrid and I was sure when I accepted the bet, the Real Madrid team had a good chance of winning and many other gamblers bet in favor of Real Madrid.
 In the end, Real Madrid attacked enough, but the opposite side could not break the defenders of Lille. And in this game full of excitement, the Real Madrid team players have blown the dust in no time. Because they were not able to win despite being aggressive enough in this match, although the goal at half time was scored by Lille team player Jonathan David who performed most offensively in this match.

Mbappe was not in the starting XI. And we saw its effect throughout the match. Also an important player like Rodrygo was not in Madrid's squad. Due to the absence of these two players, Real Madrid team performed poorly in this match. We have seen good performances from Endrick in few matches. However, he is not yet worthy of a place in Madrid's starting XI.

To be honest, I couldn't be happy with Madrid's performance in this match. The Lille team was not a very strong opponent for Madrid. The performance of Lille's players is not very good in Ligue 1 matches either. However, the team played well against Madrid. Lille won this match mainly by taking advantage of Madrid's weaknesses. However, if Mbappe, Rodrygo and Courtois were in the starting XI in this match, the result of the match would have been in favor of Madrid.

What you said is very true and it has happened. But actually this match is really beyond our expectations and look at this result.

Lille vs Real Madrid 1-0
Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich 1-0
Benfica vs Atletico Madrid 4-0

Liverpool vs Bologna 2-0
Leipzig vs Juventus 2-3

Madrid, Munich and ATM seemed to get a big surprise in this match. Just a little disappointed but I have to remember that with the new system, small teams can give surprises.
And in the end I only managed to get 2 wins. Undecided
Loss of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich with minimal result can be considered as their accidents but the big defeat of Atletico Madrid is very shocked. Benfica is an experienced club but they have less experience than Porto in Champions League. For many years, Porto is a best representative of Portugal in Champions League but Benfica with this big win against a big club from La Liga, is changing it.

They are really ready to make Portuguese League more competitive against other leagues in Champions League. The new format of Champions League will give clubs like Benfica more chances to go through group phase with good results and standings.

If I were Bayern Munich, I would have started taking Aston Villa seriously the moment their first goal was disallowed for offside because it was after that their morale became boosted and they tried to utilize the limited opportunity they got. At some point, the Bayern that thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in the first leg could not find their footing against Villa and I began to wonder if their strength and prowess is only out when they play against weaker teams?
 Aston Villa were literally the underdogs of the game but just one chance was what Jhon Duran needed to outsmart Manuel Never and I must say it was such a fine finish given the little space he had.

Beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League is not for everyone but it seems like beating Bayern is an easy job for Unai Emery
Bayern lost a group-stage game in the Champions League 2017, they lost 3-0 to PSG.
Who was the manager of PSG at the time? Yep, Unai Emery.
Unai also eliminated Bayern in the Semi-final of the 2022 Champions League while managing Villareal and now with Aston Villa.
It's a crazy record against Bayern.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team. Since Munich surprised everyone by winning the first match of the Champions League by a big margin, everyone expected Munich to continue their winning streak. But against Aston Villa's match strategy, Munich lost this match.

It was Aston Villa's home match. However, Aston Villa failed to dominate the match. While not dominating the match, Aston Villa were very tactical. At the same time I will say they were very lucky. Aston Villa players did not attack much in the match. But each of their attacks was powerful. On the other hand, Munich's players played completely attacking strategy in this match as usual.

However, when it comes the the game between Liverpool vs Bologna, I'm still a bit skeptical about the over 3.5 you put above, because judging from the previous H2H performance, both teams have only had an average goal score of 2, as I think placing that game as Over2.5 would have been much better.
But let's see how it goes

What am expecting in that game should be under 3.5. It's going to be tough for Bayern to score. Also, Aston Villa will have to play much more better if they want to win.

My favorite team to win in this game is Liverpool, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
What you said is very true and it has happened. But actually this match is really beyond our expectations and look at this result.

Lille vs Real Madrid 1-0
Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich 1-0
Benfica vs Atletico Madrid 4-0
Liverpool vs Bologna 2-0

I can understand the mentality of Aston Villa when facing title contenders Bayern Munich and this is a special evening for Aston Villa and Jhon Duran. Jhon Duran is the most effective super sub in the world, scoring goals makes Aston Villa win, and he makes Bayern Munich the latest victim. After the break, realizing the ineffectiveness of striker Ollie Watkins, coach Emery took him off the field and replaced him with young talent Jhon Duran. It was the turning point of the match when, less than 10 minutes into his time on the field, Duran scored the only goal of the match. Although he only played for about 20 minutes, Duran's contribution to the home team was enormous. It was no surprise that he was awarded the title of "Best Player of the Match" by the Organizing Committee.

In 8 matches, Duran scored in 5 matches after coming on, and Aston Villa won all 5. His frequency of scoring from the bench is unmatched at the moment, and most of them are beautiful goals scored from difficult finishing positions.

Currently as the match are going:
Benfica 4 vs  Atlético Madrid 0
Aston Villa 1 vs Bayern Munich 0
Liverpool 2 vs Bologna 0
RB Leipzig 2 vs Juventus 3, leading even with a red card at the 59th minutes.
Lille 1 vs Real Madrid 0
Sturm Graz 0 vs Club Brugge 1
Dinamo Zagreb 2 vs Monaco 1
Results in the second leg of the champions league did took a different twist, we saw big teams lose to the underdogs and this came as a shock to many gamblers who might have made their bets in favour of those big teams like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid who lost their game's tonight. To me it makes the competition more interesting thereby heightening the aura of the tournament among fans making it difficult to assume one big team to win the trophy just from the beginning of the competition.

It was unthinkable that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid would be defeated. These two teams were very strong. Bayern Munich won their first match against Dinamo by a possibly huge margin of 9-2. Bayern Munich players were in great form. Bayern Munich was also the favorite in this match. All gamblers bet on Bayern Munich to win and lose their money.

Real Madrid team is one of the worthy contenders for this year's Champions League. This team has a very strong squad. Even then, Real Madrid failed to win the away match. Real Madrid's performance was not very good either. The team performance was also quite poor as we saw slow performances from two giant teams like Madrid and Munich. A lot of gamblers lost their money in these two matches. Nobody imagined that Munich and Madrid would lose against Lille and Aston Villa.

It was a really surprising result Bayern Munich lost to Aston Villa, Real Madrid lost to Lille and Atletico Madrid lost to Benfica how could these strong candidates be defeated by clubs that were not favored from the start, I also did not expect this to happen in the second match of the Champions League and these clubs have lost 3 important points. I think many bettors lost their money in last night's match, not a few people favored these clubs.

These are the clubs that won perfect points from 2 matches Dortmund leads the standings with a greater goal advantage as well as their fellow countrymen Leverkusen while Bayern Munich has lost its first point.

Unpredictable the result of UEFA Champion League matchday 2 after many top teams got their first defeating, Real Madrid loss three points after defeating by Lille and Bayern Munich with unbeaten record in this all competition have got loss from Aston Villa. Its bit difficult after many top teams loss three points and make the top standings for qualifying to knock out become more interested although have six matches left.

Real Madrid currently dropped to 18th standings position and have many difficult matches left from facing Dortmund upcoming match, have to face Milan, Liverpool and Atalanta will be more difficult than previous teams faced such as Stuttgart or Lille. I think not difficult for Madrid reach the top eight position place although got loss from Lille and they will recovery to winning performed on six matches left.

Real Madrid six matches left in UEFA Champion League

  • Dortmund /H
  • Milan /H
  • Liverpool /A
  • Atalanta /A
  • Salzburg /H
  • Brest /A

Yes, many bettors was crying because they are bet on potential team like Madrid, Munchen, and Monaco. Only Juventus and Liverpool as expected.

I just bet a few money to Juventus and almost made my heart stop when goal keeper Di Gregoria got the red card. fortunately, Dusan made the 2nd goal and equalize the score to be 2-2. That makes hope even Juventus played with 10 players, and admit that match is enough dramatic to watch, Thiago Motta make smart decisions to entering Francisco Conceição. He is quite skilled to dribbling the ball on pinalty box. Now, Juventus is one clubs form serie A who got a perfect score, and they became part the clubs who always wins on champions league.
I don't care about Monaco because they are not big club in Europe but many gamblers lost money to their bad performance certainly.

You forgot about Atletico Madrid too, they as same as Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich are three big clubs with very bad performances tonight. They all lost their matches but the loss of Atletico Madrid is worst. They played home away in Portugal but losing too big to Benfica is very shock because last week they got a draw with Real Madrid in La Liga in a Madrid derby match.

Bayern Munich is another big club with disappointed result tonight and above, you can see people share a current standing table, with many big clubs don't have too good results in early matches in group phase.

And I'm tired of pretending like we have no problem with Ancellotti-ball. We can't keep relying on luck and individual brilliance any time. Ancelotti's tactics are laughable now. He gets outclassed by any random manager; it's very unacceptable. It seems like we're not improving at all.
Quite alright, Real Madrid performed terribly today and Ancelotti needs more tactics to get them back to their winning days. Don't forget easily that this same coach has led the team to clinch titles many times, even heavy ones. It's obvious that the injury streak suffered by the team greatly reduced it's performance and they would bounce back.

Ancelotti needs more time to restructure his team and get his boys to speed. The club and fans owe him that leverage and trust to turn things around for good.

Tonight was surely a very bad campaign for. Real Madrid, A. Madrid and Bayern Munich as they were all humbled in their away campaigns. Benfica was more brutal with A. Madrid and destroyed them with a whooping 4 goals advantage.

The most interesting match was that of R. Leipzig and Juventus where Juventus fought hard and was able to win the game despite suffering a red card to their goalkeeper in the 59th minute and coming down to 10 men against 11 Liepzig players. I was really impressed with their play and success today. Congratulations to then

This is another worst game by Real Madrid I've seen in my life. It seems we never suit 4-3-3. We never press even though we now have the best squad in the world. We don’t have midfielders who helped us to crash the pen box even though we have Jude and Fede. We don’t rely on Vini even though we’ve won the UCL because of him.

Lille outplayed us for almost the entire game, except the last 10 minutes in the end. And I'm tired of pretending like we have no problem with Ancellotti-ball. We can't keep relying on luck and individual brilliance any time. Ancelotti's tactics are laughable now. He gets outclassed by any random manager; it's very unacceptable.

Bayern Munich lost to Aston Villa.
Villa scored a great goal, though you could argue the keeper made an unnecessary run that allowed Duran to shoot an empty net quite easily. I'm sure a defender can trouble him slightly to narrow his shooting position, which should lower the chance for him to convert that into a goal. That being said, Villa got a disallowed goal earlier, so it's no surprise that Bayern's defense looked quite shaky in this match.

I do agree that it makes the group more interesting. Seeing three favorites lose their match is a rare experience. Not sure if this is just a freak result for them or if the number of games is starting to take a toll on the players. Even Liverpool didn't play that well IMO, although they won the match in the end.

Dortmund became the most productive this time, even though they conceded 1 goal. Edeyemi Karim did a hat trick, awesome.
I was sure that Dortmund would win against Celtic. But I was not prepared to see such great gameplay from Dortmund. Dortmund's players played very well from the start of the match. Dortmund scored their first goal from the penalty spot in the seventh minute of the match. However, Celtic equalized in just 2 minutes.
This was also what I thought about this match previously.
Yes, they actually looked convincing in the early stages, especially when they managed to equalize in just 2 minutes. However, Dortmund's ability to dominate again and score that many goals, made Celtic increasingly helpless in both the front and back lines.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid defeats were major surprises, I think Atletico Madrid 4-0 defeat to Benfica was no less surprising.
hahaha
I really want to laugh seeing the results of the three matches.
All three failed to secure 3 points to boost their positions in the first layer, and in the end, they could only be in the 3rd layer of the standings this time, along with Barcelona who had previously lost in the first match. In fact, for now, Dortmund is the leader of the standings. and the next match, there will be a repeat of last season's UCL final, yes Dortmund vs Real Madrid will be the next big one match

I'm shocked tonight with the result emanating from the Champions League stage games, though Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid made me lost a slip tonight, but I'm loving this season Champions League rearrangement, helping me to discover some big teams flaws, on a norm I wouldn't have imagined that Atlético Madrid would lose 4-0 to Benfica without getting a single goal, let alone Real Madrid losing to Lille, 😀 and worst of it all, Bayern Munich lost to Aston Villa. Well, I see more of over 1.5, and 2.5 goals — playing out perfectly this league phase.

I was surprised about the results from Bayern Munich and Aston Villa game but not so surprised about Real Madrid's results because to me Real Madrid have not been so good since the start of the season and maybe they just needed an experience like this to make them sit up and understand that if they are going to defend their Champions League title this season as well as the La Liga that they need to work really hard for it because to win in this competition with the new format requires more than just having a team that can play, it requires a coach that knows the game and also requires Luck for everything to go smoothly. Bayern and Villa game was a game I avoided betting on because I wasn't sure Bayern could get the result they needed at Villa's home.
