In other seasons it was very easy to list the favorite teams for the Champions League but this season it is difficult to say which team will be in the favorite position or which team will do well in the Champions League. Real Madrid is considered as the all-time favorite team for the Champions League but this Real Madrid is performing very poorly. Real Madrid has been defeated in the last match of the Champions League and another favorite team Manchester City has been defeated so which team should be ahead now is a big question.

Real Madrid and Manchester City teams were considered to be the favorites for the Champions League this season as well. But we are not seeing good performances from City and Real Madrid this season. Real Madrid is 18th in the team points table and Manchester City is 10th in the table. A team as renowned as Real Madrid has lost two out of four matches.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich, one of the most experienced teams in the Champions League, started their Champions League journey brilliantly. Munich won 9-2 against Dinamo in the first match. Munich lost their next two matches against Aston Villa and Barcelona. Despite winning 1-0 against Benfica in the last match, Munich's performance was not so good. At the moment, Barcelona and Liverpool teams can be considered as the most favorites in the Champions League.

I know why all the favorite teams are performing badly this season. Real Madrid cannot accept poor performances with the team they have built. On the other hand, this season's Manchester City team has not changed much with last season's team, but why Manchester City's performance is getting worse is a big question.

Bayern Munich are favorites every season but they do not perform well in most of the seasons. Bayern Munich's performance in the Champions League last season was not good at all, maybe this season we will see the same performance from them in the Champions League. But I'm looking forward to a great comeback from Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League soon, hope they do well soon.

Yesterday match of Bayern vs Benfica team, Bayern team won the match by scoring 1 goal. Benfica team could not score any goal in this match. Benfica team players tried hard to score but could not score any goal. However, Benfica team could have drawn this match. The performance of the Bayern team players was really good for which Benfica team could not score any goals in this match.

An embarrassing result for Bayern Munich in my opinion, they dominated the match & had everything there, but all they could get was a goal scored by Jamal Musiala. Only conceding 1 goal is an achievement for Benfica, because they should have conceded more than 3 goals looking at the match statistics.

Benfica only had 1 shot and 0 shots on goal, in stark contrast to Bayern Munich who had more 10 goals shots on goal but they could only score goals like this while in transition struggling with Vincent Kompany.

Although only 1 goal still gets full points in this match, but if the opponent is balanced it could be that Bayern Munich will not get the victory.
The upcoming week against PSG for me is not heavy, we know PSG is also a team that has suffered a setback where they lost at home.

There was nothing impressive about the Bayern Munich vs Benfica match because Munich was only able to win by a narrow score and could not add more goals to Benfica's goal. While Benfica itself was only more fun defending so that Benfica forgot to attack and caused Benfica to be unable to score an equalizer against Bayern Munich. But what surprised me was that Jamal Musiala's only goal was the only goal that brought victory to Bayern Munich, while other players could not score additional goals even though overall Munich was able to control the ball better.

Milan now will have weaker opponents and in the end they may be able to qualify in the top 24.
Considering the outsider in the top 5, it will be not easy to end in the top 24.

I think the qualification zone will be within 4 points at this point so it will be fundamental the goal scored in every game.

Probably 12-8 points will be what you need.

Bayern Munich have to wait until 67 minutes to scored and this is the only goal happened in this match but don't mean win with slim score is bad for them because win is still win regardless of the scores in the matches and i assume why Bayern Munich dominate ball possessions and shot attempts because since the beginning of match Benfica has decide to playing defensive and let Bayern Munich to control the game and why Benfica did that because they know playing attacking against Bayern Munich is similar to suicide and i can see it that basically Benfica was targetting draw result from this match but luckily Musiala can scored and bringing Bayern Munich to collect 3 points from this match and do not forget too about Anatoliy Trubin performance because yesterday he was performing well and made several great saves which makes Benfica didn't conceded more goals

Liverpool is the only club to achieve perfect points so far with 0 defeats and 0 draws, which is an extraordinary result, below them are Sporting, Monaco, Brest and Inter who have also not experienced defeat but have drawn 1 time. Meanwhile, for the strong candidates from previous seasons such as Real Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munich, they did not achieve perfect points, as UEFA has said that with this new format, the UCL competition is getting tighter because the favorite clubs get equal opponents and it turns out that the strong candidates seem to have difficulty facing the UCL this season.

No doubt Liverpool looks very solid, they almost unbeatable in this season. Another one is Barcelona, even they lose against Monaco, but I see they're second strongest in this season.

In the English League, Liverpool also performed amazingly and currently Liverpool is at the top of 2 standings, namely UCL and EPL. I think it is very reasonable if many people speculate that Liverpool will be a strong candidate this season in UCL and EPL if this club is able to maintain its consistency, it will make Arne Slot's career as a head coach will reap a lot of appreciation in his first season because he can carry out good responsibilities.
For Barcelona itself, so far its performance is still fairly good, even better than its city rivals Real Madrid. I think the defeat against Monaco was an unintentional mistake.

Actually i didn't expect some of the results i saw in the champions league this mid week, the overturning of victory happening in the way we least expected is something i didn't expect, having bigger and experienced teams loosing to smaller and almost not experienced champions league teams. Madrid and Arsenal were the worse as i least expected they were going to loose at all a draw would have been a fair consideration but a loss got me wondering as it wasn't expected at all. Barcelona's consistency is such that is deserving of every applaud as they look very promising this season.

Yes, in any league you can guess something else actually happens. If a team has lost a match today it will win in the next few matches. If wins he will lose in the next matches. But those who work hard and are in a good position will have only one goal to win the title and they are committed to it.That what I am saying, think is something and see is something else. Don't underestimate Arsenal though they may have lost a few matches but they will definitely do their part to win this title. it is difficult to say win because there are better teams. I especially like Barcelona because their perform and record has impressed everyone but they have also lost some matches but not like normal teams.

True. The defeat of an experienced team in the Champions League was unexpected and I am sure many gamblers failed to win. This is the Champions League that always makes it interesting, always giving unexpected surprises. But to be honest, the surprises that occurred in the Champions League this season were one of the factors because of the new format.

In addition, there was actually something more interesting in the 4th match of the Champions League yesterday, namely the defeat of Aston Villa. Even though they had the opportunity to maintain their unbeaten record in the Champions League because their opponents, Brugge, could be said to be far below their quality, and Brugge's game was mediocre. Aston Villa should have won, even though they didn't win, at least they could draw. But in reality they lost because of a silly mistake made by Tyrone Mings which resulted in a penalty. One defeat will certainly have an impact on the next match, and the next match is against Juventus.

You are right Champions League always has surprises. Experienced team loss was unexpected and probably surprised many people who bet on game. New format has made competition even more unpredictable. Aston Villa loss to Brugge was shocking especially since Brugge is not as good as Aston Villa. Aston Villa had perfect record until Tyrone Mings made a mistake that led to a penalty. This loss will make their next game against Juventus more difficult.

Normally. I consider the Champions League as one of the toughest competitions as that is what it is. You know this new season even the inexperienced clubs are here, so to me both the experienced and inexperienced one must get used to the new format before they can be able to win games, like when they haven’t implemented the new format, and you think this is what is happening now.

The Aston Villa defeat was a surprise to me as well, and this makes me think many games will be unpredictable this season because we may think the big club will win and after the game we see unexpected result.

Thw defeats of all these top experienced champions League teams are really a surprise to most persons which is very much understandable because usually these top teams are so experienced in the champions League that ordinarily at this stage they should be Acing their games but the sad reality is far from that. As for Madrid the situation is looking even critical because away from the injury, players don't seem to understand themselves enough again and they appear to have lost their rhythm at some point.

I think we all see that Real Madrid has indeed lost its balance at the moment. The arrival of Mbappe to their squad, which was expected to bring better things, actually made the team have to adapt again and their performance actually decreased slightly. It's not that they played poorly overall it's just that they did lose some balance at some points. Mbappe is actually expected to be a goal scoring machine there. But it looks like he needs more adaptation. And he still hasn't been able to meet the expectations of everyone who expects him to play very well there. And yes, Real Madrid's back line also lost its balance after several players were injured. That's a natural thing. It's just that it's getting worse because now we see that Real Madrid is no longer so sharp in attack and also no longer so strong at the back. This is a condition that can be considered quite critical.

I think it's not about a classic problem during the transition period. In fact, Real Madrid only lost Nacho, Joselu, and Kroos last season. But their performance has been declining. It's important to remember they still have mostly the same players from last season. It's such a disgrace they just missed a few players who played last season, made then played like a mid-tier team.

Several bad results acquired by Real Madrid have attracted many media to come for them. Things worsen when the media's news starts to sway the public.

Ancelotti is the only one who can fix things up in Real Madrid. He needs to act faster.

Maybe losing Toni Kroos is one of the reasons why Madrid performance has declined because Kroos talent is very influential for Madrid attackers and we all know how much the player contributed.
On the one hand, believe it or not, Ancelotti is actually just testing and looking for the best way to unite all the players who currently have extraordinary talent, but the selfishness of the players must be the biggest problem.
So, Ancelotti may not think too much about the defeats several times because he will prove that everything will be fine.

Last season, Liverpool had a lot more injured players, but Klopp managed the situation better than Pep. I think Pep has a plan to turn things around, but I believe he will make an expensive signing when January comes.

Pep has stuck to this plan throughout his career Grin

and it's no surprise that he became the first manager to break the €2 billion mark in transfer spending.
As for the current results, so far everything is going as I expected - the group stage is a mess that few take seriously. In fact, serious games will only begin in the playoffs.

Pep may not have thought that the team's condition could be so bad as to experience many injured players, and yes we also don't understand why it all happened, it could be due to extreme weather or indeed fatigue and violations that are fatal to the players' body conditions.

It should be the best option for Pep to take in the January transfer market, they are already far enough behind with others, it should be an improvement in the composition of the strategy he needs several players to recruit, the ambition to break new records in the world of football will certainly not be extinguished just because of this kind of thing.

Real Madrid next opponent is Liverpool who are currently at the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings, the match will be played at Anfield, based on the results achieved in the previous two matches, Real Madrid will have a hard time when facing Liverpool. If they lose, they will be in the relegation zone.

It's a classic problem after a transition period of many players leaving and retiring. Real Madrid today does not have a complete player in the main and substitutes. This condition makes Ancelotti not have many options and some substitution decisions also seem inappropriate. So now many who write the Ancelotti era are starting to disappear. Many supporters began to distrust Ancelotti's performance. It may seem like this has happened not long ago, but with the size of the Real Madrid Team I think a lot of media will pay attention.

Man City is a rich club, it is no wonder that Pep recruits quality players at fantastic prices, he does all of this so that Man City remains strong in all tournaments, especially in the EPL and UCL. This season, many Man City players are injured, so I think Pep will prepare a transfer in the middle of the season, besides spending a lot of money, in fact Man City is not afraid of FFP penalties regarding restrictions on player spending.

This season is more difficult than previous seasons for experienced clubs in the Champions League but in my opinion it is even more interesting because we no longer see Real Madrid or other favorite clubs always dominate the Champions League in this phase and see them struggling to rank 8th without having to go through the play-off round to qualify for the last 16. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have experienced 2 defeats in the Champions League even though they are the strongest candidates in the UCL, let's see how the journey of these experienced clubs this season will they not be able to advance far in the UCL until the final??

PSG biggest dream will be to win at least 1 champions league title, they've won the league title many times so I do agree about the main focus on UCL but even with the main focus, they still haven't even proof any sign of qualification for it ... When there was even enough resources they couldn't still make it happen, imagine having Messi, Neymar,Mbappe,Ramos, Hkimi, marquinhos, Veratti ,Kimpembe.... and still couldn't make use of the resource to archive a sole purpose of bringing such starts together Tongue

. Though I don't know the squad depth when Enrique started but as at the moment the squad is not a squad that can win Champions league

That will not only be their dream but every other persons dream and if you want to win the champions league it won't stop as a dream their somthing that you have to work towards it, and most title that they have won is not more than league 1 and mostly other France leagues and win the champions league is somthing they can do if they are serious about how they want to win it exactly, if they have to get new players it won't be a bad idea but if you look at it, psg have spent a lot of money on getting super players and still nothing yet, for them.

When you say sign of qualification it's high they have not don any serious advancement in trying to win but I just hope some day they will be able to make their dream come through by winning the champions league. They actually had the time and resources then but they were still unable to win it and that is why it is a dream, and that is one of the reasons mbappe wanted to leave to be able to win the champions league, and things are now different, the condition of psg in the champions league is worse.

In fact the result of the match for Inter Milan, 1-0 and it was quite satisfying for Inter Milan to win this match, I feel that it has indeed become a bitter reality that Arteta must swallow, not only in the Champions League but in its own domestic league Arsenal also experienced defeat, Arsenal's current situation is very disadvantageous, they are slowly losing their victory and their ability is fading, maybe because of injured players and poor player conditions.

There are only a few more matches in the champions league and Arsenal must have a more comfortable position to be able to enter the next round.

Arsenal actually created more chances than Inter Milan, but Arsenal could not take advantage of the chances they got into a goal, so they had to accept defeat from Inter Milan who almost did not record a shot that could lead to the target, their clean chances were only obtained through the white point and that managed to make Arsenal have to admit defeat in this match. It is indeed quite difficult, because the team from Serie A is famous for their tough defense and in this match Arsenal had to feel that. This was their first defeat in the Champions League and it was indeed detrimental to them because they could not get 1 point in this match and that made them have to get out of the top 8.

Arteta needs to learn more from each defeat they experience, the game strategy must be changed, because if it has been a long time it will no longer be able to produce a victory in the match and that will be a long enough suffering if it cannot adapt to the development of the opposing team that is getting better, like Inter Milan, Yes, although Inter Milan are indeed quite good in the league and I think they are balanced and only utilize the white box, and this penalty win was a big catalyst for Inter Milan's victory, it's just that they couldn't penetrate deeper into the Inter Milan squad and create a return that was only in vain when in yesterday's match.

Real Madrid had some trouble facing Barcelona because they weren't ready for such a hardcore offside tactic, they tried their best, but they didn't feel ready at all, in fact in one of the positions we saw three real Madrid players being offside all at the same time, very funny for us but not that funny for Real Madrid of course. They will be ready for it next time and I doubt Milan will do the same tactic anyways.

Yes, it is a fact that Madrid was caught with their pants down, and that is why they were thrashed, but come on, Barcelona finally beat them, it had been a long time since they had been thrashed, and if we are going for thrashings, Madrid has already thrashed Barcelona more than they have now, so this is not something to jump to conclusions about so quickly, for now Madrid is still standing in the League and you can't compare one team with another , each game is a different story, that is what we must learn from football.

The performance of the Bayern team players was really good for which Benfica team could not score any goals in this match.

I watched the match Munich vs Benfica but I didn't see or smell that Benfica could get an advantage, completely this match Munich played well and controlled the game until the end and Benfica just parked the bus to not concede more than one goal, Benfica didn't have a good chance I saw them just playing defensively against Munich's attacks but unfortunately Munich couldn't break down Benfica's defense again after one goal thanks to Musiala happened in the second half, and I thought this would be a lot of goals for Munich but it turned out not to be but these 3 points are also very important for Munich and they managed to get them.
