Monaco really had a good start, getting the first goal and Barcelona receiving a red card ♦️..I was so sure that it was over for them but with some good team effort Yamal rescued a goal back for Barca to tie the game going at the break and if they can play their cards right..maybe they can go back home 3 points but a point is technically a good option at the moment.
Elsewhere, am keeping tabs on the Atlanta Vs Arsenal game, and so far I think these guys are playing with plenty of mutual respect for each other and this game looks like we heading to a bore draw. Not cool Gunners 👎

Currently the Monaco vs Barcelona match is taking place and I was surprised because Monaco managed to break into Barcelona's goal quickly. I didn't know Barcelona would concede the ball so quickly. I hope they can immediately reply to the goal and equalize the score. It would be very bad if Hansi Flick's team failed in their first match in the UCL this season. But if Barcelona loses in this match it could also be said to be quite natural. because they are now playing with 10 players.
E. García really made a very costly mistake in just 10 minutes of play that led to the red card he got and now Barcelona has already conceded a goal which will destabilize the team's morale because imagine playing with 10 men and also conceding a goal at the very early minutes of the game because they scored the goal around just sixteen minutes of play. It will be difficult for Barcelona to equalize this goal now but they should instead be more defensive than attack so that when Monaco finds it difficult to break Barcelona's defense area they will become so weak and tired then Barcelona can now attack them more with that strategy they can have the opportunity to equalize the goal. Edit: just as I was typing Barcelona equalized the goal and that's a welcome achievement, they should be more careful now and not allow Monaco to score any further goal, though the both teams are putting pressure among themselves and we should be expecting more goals in this match.
The Leverkusen match was very impressive in the first half, Xabi Alonso prepared his players quite well, we know that what Leverkusen excel at is aggressive attack and that was shown again in this match, in the first half they pocketed many goals that were targeted, and Feyenoord was not ready for that situation so they could not keep up with Leverkusen in the first half, and the second half Feyenoord realized what they had to do to maintain their position and Bayer Leverkusen in the second half was to play relaxed and more to defend themselves, seen from the midfielders they were also not too aggressive like the first half to attack.
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.

Hansi Flick's squad is hard to beat. Barcelona are now playing with 10 players. However, the players still managed to maintain their confidence. And in just 12 minutes, Barcelona equalized the match.
Monaco's players showed great dominance after Garcia received a red card. Monaco played completely attacking strategy. And the Barcelona players took advantage of this opportunity. Yamal scored from a nice pass by Marc Casado. This is Yamal's first goal in the Champions League. And because of this goal, the game came back to life. Now we will see more aggressive gameplay from both teams.
With Monaco in front and one man down for Barcelona, I think it will not be easy for Barcelona on the night.
Well it won't be easy at all for Barcelona. And it seems like the two teams from Laliga today weren't lucky enough. Because currently Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both 1 goal behind their opponents in the first half. But I am grateful that as I write this Barcelona has managed to equalize the score at 1-1. Thanks to a goal from talented young player Lamine Yamal. I don't think Barcelona will give up on their unfortunate situation of having to play with only 10 players after Eric Garcia was sent off.

Barcelona's gameplay at the moment seems very promiscuous. Players need to be more confident. Otherwise, Barcelona will concede a goal in the first half.
Your guess is correct. In the 10th minute, Eric Garcia received a red card and went off the field. And in the 16th minute, Barcelona conceded a goal. Monaco upped the ante after Garcia received a red card. Monaco's players are playing well now. Monaco's players seem very confident. And it became more difficult for the Barcelona players to make a comeback in this match. However, Akliouche scored a fantastic goal.
I don't understand why the referee gave red card to Eric Garcia. The referee could have given a yellow card here. In such an important match the referee needed to be more careful in decision making. However, looking at Barcelona's gameplay now, I think Monaco will either win this match or the match will be a draw. Barcelona's gameplay has become quite slow.
Ter Stegen made a blunder that was very detrimental to his team. Eric Garcia had to get a red card due to that clumsy pass. Monaco could indeed fail to convert the free kick into a goal but as a result of playing with 10 men making Barcelona's defense is more vulnerable, and Monaco can make good use of it to get goals in other ways. I'm not quite sure Barcelona can turn things around, moreover, their young players seem not quite at ease with their current condition. It seems like the red card incident was quite shaken to their mentality.

Not even Stuttgart fans expected a win against Real Madrid to be fair, hell I would be shocked to see if most of them even expect the team to get out of the group stages but that would be the biggest possibility, that's it.
Stuttgart would have maybe won the game if the players had the energy to continue the game to the end and maybe if they made use of the chances they had during the game. Teams with better finishing would have given Real Madrid a lot of headache before Real Madrid would have had the chance to score. Thanks to Stuttgart though, they made sure that the game was very entertaining from start to the end. Manchester City start the new champions league season today against Inter Milan, With Haaland's current form, it is expected that Manchester City scores more than a goal. I'm equally expecting Inter Milan to score some goals too so I expect this game to be a game with over 2.5 goals.
Yes everyone would expect atleast two to three goals from Manchester City - Inter Milan game, both teams were solid defensively and could not score goals against each other.
I got very bored while watching the Manchester City - Inter match truthfully. Not even watching a goal was very disappointing. 
Inter have such a strong defense that they just don't concede a goal. I was expecting Haaland to be ineffective in this match. I'm not gonna lie about it. 
Because he is just disappearing in big matches.
This wasn't the performance of a top contender in a competition like the Champions League. Manchester City really need to get better. I know it is early of course but it is better to take precautions in time.
They have 2-3 more fierce opponents to face in this phase such as Juventus, PSG and maybe more as far as I can remember.

Haaland has always had trouble scoring against top clubs, in their last two meetings with Inter Milan, Haaland has not scored a goal. To be honest, I was disappointed with the outcome of the game, I wasn't expecting Manchester City to draw with how they've handled their opponents this season. Inter Milan had a powerful defender, perhaps they were saving their players for the Champions League match against Manchester City, which is why they were unable to win all four league games.
I believe Manchester City will be the only team that prevents gamblers from winning their bet yesterday since so many people will choose them to win. Manchester City was playing at home, and they disappointed their fans. If they grab a weak opponent, they will score as if they will not score against any other opponents. Guardiola needs to work on this team since their performance will not get them any points. If Guardiola used Doku from the first half, I believe they would score at least one goal because he may disturb the Inter Milan defense.
The Leverkusen match was very impressive in the first half, Xabi Alonso prepared his players quite well, we know that what Leverkusen excel at is aggressive attack and that was shown again in this match, in the first half they pocketed many goals that were targeted, and Feyenoord was not ready for that situation so they could not keep up with Leverkusen in the first half, and the second half Feyenoord realized what they had to do to maintain their position and Bayer Leverkusen in the second half was to play relaxed and more to defend themselves, seen from the midfielders they were also not too aggressive like the first half to attack.
The strategy used by Xabi Alonso is still the same as he has always used since last season. But this strategy has still proven to be quite effective to date. Leverkusen's playing style, which is quite aggressive in making attacks, is actually a style of play that is always difficult for a team that is not well prepared for this situation to overcome. Feyenoord actually played quite well, but the difference was in the level of utilization of the opportunities they had, which of course Xabi Alonso's team was far superior in this regard. Leverkusen managed to break into Feyenoord's goal from the 5th minute. And it turns out the goals didn't just stop there. Because Leverkusen continued to score goals in the first half.Currently the Monaco vs Barcelona match is taking place and I was surprised because Monaco managed to break into Barcelona's goal quickly. I didn't know Barcelona would concede the ball so quickly. I hope they can immediately reply to the goal and equalize the score. It would be very bad if Hansi Flick's team failed in their first match in the UCL this season. But if Barcelona loses in this match it could also be said to be quite natural. because they are now playing with 10 players.
The match between Monaco and Barcelona is expected to be intense. Both teams have started their seasons well, but Barcelona seems to have the upper hand. The Catalans are delivering strong performances with a series of victories in La Liga, especially with standout players like Yamal and Lewandowski, though Olmo will miss the game due to injury. Monaco has also had a solid start in Ligue 1, remaining undefeated. However, Barcelona's form suggests they are ready to fight for wins in every match. My prediction is a 2-1 victory for Barcelona.
I highly doubt Barcelona will win this match. Barcelona are under a lot of pressure at the moment. Firstly the match is Monaco's home match. And an important point is that in the 10th minute of the match, the referee showed a red card to Barcelona defender Eric Garcia. And with 10 players, it will certainly be difficult for Barcelona to counter Monaco's attack. There is no way to consider the Monaco team weak. Barcelona's gameplay at the moment seems very promiscuous. Players need to be more confident. Otherwise, Barcelona will concede a goal in the first half.
Feyenoord face Bayran Leverkusen in the Champions League, and we've seen a one-sided game between the two teams, although it's now half-time. Already leading Bayern Leverkusen by four goals, an own goal by Feyenoord sent the team further adrift. We can say for sure that Leverkusen will win today's match by a huge margin, because this team is very strong, and they are in a good position in the Germany league. Also, Bayran Leverkusen won the Bundesliga last season, and they are continuing their great form in the Champions League this season, I think they can do well.
Leverkusen is indeed more favored in this match. but getting 4 goals in the first half is an extraordinary game. Feyenoord's performance in the Eredivisie is not so good. they have not lost but from 4 matches they have only been able to win 1 and draw 3 times. of course that is a less than good result to prepare for facing the strong team Leverkusen.now we see how the first-half results have shown the difference in strength between the two teams. maybe Leverkusen can add 1 or 2 more goals in the second half.
Manchester City and Inter played to a goalless draw. Both teams had many chances but could not score. Normally this match should have ended with 3-4 goals or more, but neither team scored. Manchester City were the more dominant side as they played at home.
PSG, on the other hand, managed to beat Girona, who had a good season in La Liga last season, 1-0. PSG's goal came in the dying minutes with Girona's own goal. PSG didn't give their opponents much possession. They couldn't shoot anyway. PSG had many chances but they struggled to score.
Man City and Inter Milan both showed a strong level of defense. And they actually also showed a pretty good level of attack too. But because their strengths can be said to be quite balanced at the moment, it is natural to see them draw without a goal. But at first I thought Man City could win the match but it turns out that Inter Milan can always surprise us. Because their strength is always something to be reckoned with. PSG, on the other hand, managed to beat Girona, who had a good season in La Liga last season, 1-0. PSG's goal came in the dying minutes with Girona's own goal. PSG didn't give their opponents much possession. They couldn't shoot anyway. PSG had many chances but they struggled to score.
Meanwhile, about Girona vs PSG. The match was quite tough for Girona. Meanwhile for PSG they are also having quite a difficult time. But PSG's difficulty is only in scoring goals or completing attacks. Meanwhile, Girona, on the other hand, had difficulty building attacks because they also couldn't lose focus on their defense.
Currently the Atalanta vs Arsenal match has started

Monaco vs Barcelona.
Monaco has performed quite well in their domestic league, they have not been defeated in their 4 matches. In this match, Monaco will host Barcelona at Stade Luis, Monaco's home ground. Barcelona, will certainly not play Olmo due to injury. Lately, Olmo has been in the spotlight when his debut with Barcelona immediately played well. Instead, Flick might play Torres. I'm sure Flick will aim for victory over Monaco, so he will definitely continue to apply the same system and pattern. Appearing with an attacking pattern throughout the match, providing high pressing. I'm not sure if Monaco will play openly, because that will make it easier for Hansi Flick's system to work. Based on the betting exchange, Barca is more favored and that's natural. However, this is a new match for Barcelona's young players. Even so, Barca still has a great chance of winning this match. My prediction, a score of 3-0 victory for Barcelona. btw, my two favorite teams play at the same time, it's really confusing to watch which one.

Though its half time already, but I will really love send a big shout-out to Bayer Leverkusen for coming up with such an impressive performance today, winning Feyenoord with a whooping 4 goals to Nill within it's first 45 minutes into the game through the help of F. Wirtz, Grimaldo and Wellenreuther,, as with this performance, it's a clear sign this game is likely to end with more goals before the end of 90 minutes just like the match between Manchester United and Barnsle, which ended with 7 goals to Nill, as I look forward to more goals as second half begins.
Leverkusen's performance in their first Champions League game was impressive, with a 4-0 victory thanks to Xabi Alonso. They should continue to win games like this to achieve their goals. While some may predict a draw or a 1-0 win, Leverkusen's four zeros in the first half have given them confidence. And Benfica win there match too what a great from them too, the Champions league is going interesting seeing all the big club are doing what is good winning there matches in the Champions League. let see what arsenal will perform tonight against Atalanta because this is the touch game that will play today, Barcelona will probably win Monaco if they perform great they should not play with them because they are good too let see how tonight games arsenal vs Atalanta and Barcelona vs Monaco. Flick and Arteta are the favorites of winning the matchbut anything can happen in the match because you can't predict sometime.
Arteta has to find solution to the absence of Martin Odegaard. I read that it may be mid October before Oddegard returns. Thankfully for Arteta, it’s not lengthy injury that will take him for several months. Against Spurs, Trossard played in the mid field, Odegaard has no replacement but they found a way to play a different game to get the results that they want. Theoretically, Arsenal can manage the situation, their defense will make it tough for Atalanta. Normally I would be supporting Arsenal but for the fact that Ademola Lookman will be playing against them, I am a Atalanta fan for tonight. It’s not going to be an easy game away from home.
Though its half time already, but I will really love send a big shout-out to Bayer Leverkusen for coming up with such an impressive performance today, winning Feyenoord with a whooping 4 goals to Nill within it's first 45 minutes into the game through the help of F.

I didn't watch the match but from their performance showing here from the comment with the 0-4 goals means that they did well in the game. Bayer Leverkusen has a good standing squad in this time. So it is not a surprise to see them doing well. Atalanta vs Arsenal
Atalanta vs Arsenal will kick off their match by 20:00 pm tonight and I am believing that Arsenal will do their best again to win. Though I don't know how it will be in this side but if it was in Premier League, Arsenal would have been a sure game to win. I am betting on Arsenal to win the game.Jump to:
