I don’t know what’s happening with Manchester City these days. Yes, you can’t win the treble every year and you can’t also win all the matches in the season but being knocked out of the Carabao Cup and again losing 4-1 to Sporting was unexpected and an clear sign that something is missing in Manchester City this season.  It’s crazy how much City is struggling without Rodri and KDB. Without these two players, City look like a different team. I can’t remember the last time Manchester City lost three games in a row.

Whatever people say about Milan, the fact is that Milan won the match and they deserved to win.
Milan played as a football team. The cooperation between the lines was good. All the players came together to form a beautiful symphony. All players had a fighting spirit and champion mentality.
It was clear on the field, resulting from Fonseca's hard work.
Fonseca managed to apply the right tactics and formation to beat Madrid.
I felt like I was seeing Milan's appearance in the good old days.
Congratulations to him and the players...

Didn't watch the Sporting CP vs Man City match because I was watching the Liverpool vs Leverkusen match at the time.
It's just that surprised by the 4-1 defeat to Sporting CP, this is a crushing defeat and a little embarrassing for Man City, which is always predicted to become champions again.

It's bad luck that more bets will lose in this match, especially in the Real Madrid vs Milan match also has the same fate, last night seemed to be unfavorable for bettors.

Inter Milan vs Arsenal is difficult to predict, still holding predictions that Inter Milan can win.

Kylian Mbappe is not the issue with Real Madrid.. First, I'll say that they should look into the management of Carlo Ancelotti, results are not improving even with these great lads. What is the work of a manager who cannot handle the best players? I will agree because I barely see the games psg plays but saw him during the fifa world cup finals. He is no number 9.

The absence of Toni Kroos has also affected them, as they lack someone who can organise them and spread passes likewise creativity. I do not like the fact they th3 fans fault Kylian Mbappe too much. Manchester City and the nest club in the Premier League competition was schooled last night by Ruben Amorim.

I did not watch both matches and I was shocked when I read the news that both Madrid and City are defeated with such a big score.
For Madrid, it seems that they have lost their focus due to some reasons (cant mention it because just my own assumption).
For City, this one which makes me quite surprised it is their 3rd consecutive lose in 3 different competition, how come a big time like City is defeated with 3 goals difference by a non favorite team like Sporting?
I dont mean to underestimate Sporting, but City is much bigger and much better team in almost all aspect but Sporting could defeat them although City dominated the match significantly.

Yes it's true that AC Milan did a great performance against Real Madrid which made them win that match against Real Madrid very easily. Looking at AC Milan's recent performances in the Serie A league, it would seem unbelievable to anyone that they beat the mighty Real Madrid in a Champions League match. AC Milan have won just five out of ten matches in the serie A League.

AC Milan proved with their win against Real Madrid that sometimes weak teams can beat strong teams. Although Real Madrid were ahead of AC Milan in ball position, ball passing and all aspects, they were unable to score. We saw that only Vinicius Jr. scored a goal for Real Madrid. If Vinicius Jr. had not scored that goal, Real Madrid might have lost more humiliatingly to AC Milan.

It's interesting coincidence that Ruben Amorim will re-meet Pep Guardiola in Premier League because after this big win with Sporting Lisbon, Ruben Amorim will officially take his coach position in Manchester United. This win is impressive for Ruben Amorim and gives him more confidence with his new job in Manchester United.

I am shocked to read his interview that he thinks Manchester United now are under level of Sporting Lisbon and he will need a lot of time to improve them. It can be his proactive sayings to defend himself and buy more time to improve his new team.

AC Milan won their latest match in Serie A before transporting to Madrid for a match with Real Madrid. That win in Serie A reduced pressure on them but even so I really did not believe that Milan will have chance to beat Real Madrid in Champions League. Finally they actually did it, won big to Real Madrid and made an amazing comeback at Bernabeu stadium.

Watching the Sporting Lisbon vs Manchester City match yesterday was the opening match of Amorim's rivalry with Guardiola. Their rivalry will continue later in the English Premier League while Guardiola is the coach of Manchester City. They will meet each other in the Manchester derby.
4-1 makes the bookie win a lot. There are several interesting matches that are ready to make bettors use analysis to choose.

In addition to Inter Milan vs Arsenal and PSG vs Atletico Madrid. Barcelona is predicted to win easily.

Very humiliating defeat as such, it's not funny again, I think Carlo anceloti got work to do, I never expected such out of bound home defeat by AC Milan to Real Madrid, yea, mbappe has not fit in to Realmadrid pattern of play, this is a problem, Realmadrid is great team, though i know that much is expected of mbappe but the truth is, he may not adapt this season, my question is, would the continue waiting for him to adapt as things keep getting out of hand, why over tasking him when there are other players that can actually be helping out, real Madrid is a good team and I believe as a team if a player is not giving their best other players can do that, irrespective of how much mbappe is worth, what matters is the team success and as it stands the success of Realmadrid is in serious jeopardy, for me, this is the best time for carlo anceloti to act.

Though no team is above losing  but Real Madrid has got a team of world class players thats capable of withstanding some kind of pressure, talking about Realmdrid formation last season, it's also a good idea if the manager try it out but for me I think all hope should not be centered on 1 player, Real Madrid yesterday result was very devastating and uncalled for, though bet were lost which is also not good but the major thing is the team.

Milan football team played very well in this match and  they won this match easily by high margin of goals . Milan team did 3 goals and I didn't expect that kind of performance from that player. Thiaw did goal at the start of match and he did goal at 12 minutes of the match and after that we saw next goal from opponent team and Júnior did second goal of the match at 23 minutes and he did that at penalty. Morata did 3rd goal of the match at 39 minutes and his performance was very good in this match and he gave many passes in this match and became prominent in this match.Reijnders did last goal of the match at 73 minutes and his goal was very brilliant and he made his success firm in this match.

The front line was quite problematic in the match because the many opportunities they got were not utilized properly and I see this as a big problem for Real Madrid at this time and if no evaluation is carried out it will make Real Madrid even more difficult. Mbappe did not show his best quality at all and he seemed to have lost his touch to make an effort to score goals.

Apart from Milan's much more solid defense, if you look at the opportunities Milan had, they really utilized them well so that they managed to beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. This is clearly a disappointing result because Real Madrid had many opportunities to win the match but they actually lost those opportunities.

The matches last night were exciting. Real Madrid - Milan was good, I didn't watch the whole match because I wanted to watch the other matches.

S.Lisbon - M.City match was very exciting, M.City played very well in the first 30 minutes but after that S.Lisbon scored 4 goals and won the match 4-1.

Celtic - RB Leibzig match was also good, Celtic won easily.

Manchester City may be fan favorites to win the Champions League, but there is no "small club" in the UEFA Champions League. It’s called the Champions League because it brings together champions from leagues across Europe to compete for the title of Europe's best. I didn’t expect AC Milan to win at the Santiago Bernabéu, and I was genuinely shocked by the scoreline, as Milan went on to humble Madrid in their own stadium.

As for the game in Portugal, where Sporting Lisbon hosted Manchester City, I was surprised that Ruben Amorim managed to outwit Guardiola. Many bettors surely lost heavily as the underdogs triumphed in both yesterday's encounters between Real Madrid and AC Milan, and Sporting Lisbon and Manchester City.

It is very difficult for them Real Madrid to recover from a crushing defeat from Barcelona and this defeat is a consecutive home defeat since losing to Barcelona, ​​​​and I think they are strong enough to play at home in fact not, Milan who are not good in Serie A this season can beat them quite badly 2 goals in the first half and Milan managed to add to their needs to 1-3 wins for Serie A representatives, this is true as you said they cannot be considered like last season Madrid who were careless and Ancelotti did little.

And I blame Ancelotti for their defeat in fact Ancelotti continues to play players who do not contribute much he does not give many opportunities to players who should be able to make the game more superior, and I have a little doubt about Ancelotti this season I think he will leave if Madrid continues to play without direction like this with Mbappe who has not built I think Ancelotti must be more mature in choosing their main squad.

Well things are looking unstable at the moment. Apart from their weakened defense. We also see the level of effectiveness of their attacks which is also quite bad. It seems like every now and then Ancelotti has to try not to make Mbappe into the starting eleven. Although I am sure that the real problem is not this. But getting the Real Madrid squad back to its original form could be a test worth doing in this situation. It's just that Ancelotti still seems to believe in giving Mbappe more time to develop and become even better there. But yes, the results currently visible are quite disappointing. And you're not the only one who says that Real Madrid now looks like it's not Real Madrid. But indeed many people said this, which is a sign of how disappointed we are with these results. And the problem is this happens consecutively. First in El Clasico and then in UCL.

Ancellotti decides a lot of things, but even Ancellotti can't immediately bench one of the most expensive players in history for no reason. Apparently Ancellotti is trying to show Real's management that he is doing what he can and putting Mbappe in the lineup, but there is not much use for him and many people already see it and are already disappointed in Mbappe, so I think a couple more games like this and Mbappe will start matches on the bench.
It is written that Real want to sell Arda Guler, but Endrick is not put just because Mbappe is playing instead of him.   

Madrid lost embarrassingly at home, not like the Madrid I know, and why is it always Mbappe who is played, there is still Arda Guler, Endrick who has really proven to contribute. Mbappe has been given time to adapt but still can't make a significant contribution, it would be better for Ancelotti to use the formation like last season before he came. I am disappointed with this result and I am sure many have lost their bets on this match.

In fact, Milan's situation was initially much more doubtful. Because they haven't had a very good season in Serie A. Meanwhile for Real Madrid they are still doing well so far because they are ranked second in Laliga. But it turns out that Real Madrid had to admit the crushing defeat they received when facing AC Milan. And it seems that in the UCL this season, only Barcelona as the representative team from La Liga looks quite consistent and has extraordinary results. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Girona still don't seem to be getting maximum results.

And today Atletico Madrid will have a tough opponent, namely PSG. I think PSG will be my favourite. Although PSG also did not have a smooth road this season in the UCL.

And about Leipzig somehow but this season it looks like they will be knocked out early if they don't get up quickly in the remaining matches.

It's true that there were too many surprises in the Champions League matches this season, including Real Madrid against Milan and to be honest, many thought that Real Madrid would be able to win that match because Real Madrid, who were the hosts, should have been more enthusiastic and could have won, but now Real Madrid has appeared to disappoint many fans and this is definitely something that many fans do not want.

Yes, the only legitimate goal scored by Real Madrid was only 1 which came from Vinicius' penalty kick. But of course it is a shame that the goal created by Rudiger's kick did not result in a valid goal because Rodrygo was already in an offside position.

Yes, I was also surprised by beating Manchester City with a score of 5-1. At first I also thought Manchester City would win, but yes, Sporting CP played well and were able to take advantage of opportunities well and in the end Pep's troops were forced to swallow the bitter pill. yes, maybe in the UCL this season the club that will be a strong candidate to become champion will be different from last season but of course this is an interesting thing but still the UCL matches this season are very exciting and full of surprises so we'll see what happens later and be honest I'm curious about which club will win the UCL this season.

Nunez wasted many opportunities and he needs to sharpen his accuracy in finishes, but Diaz in previous seasons played very bad by wasting great chances too. It's big surprise that Diaz managed to score many goals in this season and Liverpool will have better attacking system with this version of Diaz. However, Diaz can lose his best performances in rest of season, we don't know, and in contrast maybe Nunez can improve himself too.

If you're a fan of Liverpool, you must know Salah did not a too goal productive player before his transfer to Liverpool. Things can change quickly in football and I hope that Nunez will make it too.

Vinicius and Mbappe will create an internal conflict in Real Madrid because they are both talented, young and very ambitious and I think it won't be good for Real Madrid at least in a first season they play together. About Ballon d'Or, Vinicius has reasons to seriously feel disappointed and I see it's unfair to award it to Rodri but not Vincius or Carvajal.
