Inter and City decided to save their strengths and players before the games in their championships. Inter will face Milan soon and City will play next game against Arsenal, so Inzaghi did not even put Lautaro, Mkhitaryan and Pavar in the lineup, while Pep Guardiola on the contrary remembered that he has Jack Grealish in the lineup and released him in this match.
Now the Champions League format allows the teams to better prepare for the games in their respective championships.

Inzaghi did not keep Martinez in his squad because Martinez is not in good form. In the first three matches we did not see a better performance from Martinez. This is why we haven't seen Martinez in Inter Milan's starting XI. If Martinez is in good form, we would certainly see Martinez in Inter Milan's squad. Because Inzaghi will certainly give more importance to the Champions League match than the Serie A match. It would have been even more creditable to Inzaghi if Inter Milan had somehow managed to win against Manchester City.

I don't think Manchester City made any tactical mistakes in this match. Manchester City players played well enough we have to admit that. But the opponent Inter Milan also played very well. This is why Manchester City is not able to win.
Lautaro really hasn't scored a goal in 3 games so far, but this happens to all strikers and it's ok, it's life. For now format of meetings is such that the teams play not 6 but 8 games, which means that the chances of getting to the next round have also increased by 30% and therefore teams like City may not focus so much on the Champions League, especially if in a couple of days to meet their rival for the championship in the EPL.
City's first serious attack was in the 69th minute, and before that there were no dangerous chances. At the end of the half, City still could have scored, but Sommer played well and Inter managed to get a draw in this match.

I got very bored while watching the Manchester City - Inter match truthfully. Not even watching a goal was very disappointing.  Sad  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.  Tongue  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.
Manchester City did there best they could do in there match against Inter-milan, Inter-milan is not just a team to write home about they have been playing in the UEFA Champions league for long now, we shouldn't also be expecting  Erling Haaland to be scoring in all the matches and besides Inter-milan defense also did very well in that game to make sure Manchester City had no goal and this is the first time both teams are playing goal less draw for in there last 3 meeting in the UEFA Champions league there has been a winning a goal. Manchester City has won two time against Inter-milan in the UEFA Champions league while Inter-milan where able to win one time.

Inter managed to make 4 on target, but none of their efforts turned into goals. The players must take advantage of the opportunities when facing Manchester City, as Real Madrid did last season, even though they lost in Ball possession, but Real Madrid players managed to take advantage of the opportunities well.
However, from the results of 4 on target, none of them made it into a goal, and after that there were no more meaningful opportunities for Inter Milan, not only in the European league but also bad results were experienced in the Domestic League and that this is clearly a decline in performance experienced by Inter Milan which has a long-term impact, of course there must be an evaluation for the next match.
I think it's normal when they can't maximize the opportunities that exist, because their opponent is also a club that is very favored to become champions again in this Champions League, so even though they couldn't score a goal, they also managed to hold Manchester City to a draw, that's a good point for them.
I think their toughest task has been passed quite well, 1 point is a very valuable point for them. Now they have to focus on the next match by evaluating what they lacked in the previous match. This is the job of a coach to see how far they can develop, because even though they are quite good now, they have to be able to improve more overall.

My prediction in today's match.

  • Monaco vs Barcelona (Barcelona Win)
~Snip~
So far, Barcelona and Monaco have no history of meetings, both of them actually competed against each other in the Joan Gamper game about a month ago and Monaco managed to beat Barcelona with a score of 3-0. Monaco current strength is very difficult to predict because they have not qualified for the Champions League for a long time, but they are unbeaten in Ligue 1 and have only conceded one goal in four matches, the impressive results achieved in Ligue 1 indicate that this team cannot be underestimated.
Barcelona will be without Dani Olmo for this game due to an injury he sustained in the win at Girona, Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati likely to replace him. If Barcelona plays like in the last five matches with attacking football, the chances of winning are quite open.
It's indeed a very hard match to predict since Monaco hasn't played in champions league for such a long period of time but I think they are going to pose a very big threat to Barcelona based on their current form in their domestic league where they haven't lost any game with less goals conceded so I expect them to give Barcelona a run for their money when they host Barcelona at home. On the other hand Barcelona seem to be the more experienced side here after being knocked out of the quarter final of the champions league by another french side PSG who also won yesterday, I think Barcelona are in a very exceptional form this season after winning all their la Liga matches especially after beating Girona away from home, I think that would be the advantage they have because they seem like a team that can win anywhere whether home or away which makes this match very interesting and most anticipating.
There isn't anything difficult to predict there. It's a straight win for Barcelona. But I am not expecting many goals in the game. It may end in a 2 goal win against Monaco. If it still seems difficult to you then just bet on Barcelona to win or draw.

Today's game i will bet Barcelona to win Monaco, Arsenal win or draw and over 1.5 goals, Sturm Graz and Brest for over 2.5 goals, Bayern Leverkusen and Freyenoor for both teams t score and over 2.5 goals and lastly Benefica to win FK Crvena

In the UEFA Champions League today Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava two team match, Celtic team won the match with a great performance. Celtic team won today's match by scoring 5 goals. On the other hand, Slovan Bratislava team scored 1 goal. The performance of Slovan Bratislava team players was very bad from the beginning.  For this match Slovan Bratislava team played badly. If we look at the points table, Celtic team is in 2nd position. On the other hand, Slovan Bratislava team is in 35th position in the points table.
Yes, the match yesterday, between Celtic FC and Slovan Bratislava was one I enjoyed. Celtic played a good game against Slovan Bratislava with 5-1 win.

Celtic team started strong with Liam Scales scoring the first goal. Then Kyogo Furuhashi added the second one the  Arne Engels kicked off the penalty goal while Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah finished off the game with two more goals. Epic I must say
The cool thing was that Celtic had five different  players score the goals - something they haven't done in decades! Wooo

 Brendan Rodgers was so happy at their match performance, I mean who wouldn't be. Now, I'm looking forward to their next game against Falkirk on Sunday. Can Celtic keep winning? I think so, if they keep playing the way they did yesterday

I got very bored while watching the Manchester City - Inter match truthfully. Not even watching a goal was very disappointing.  

Do you watch big team matches just to see the goals? or did you lose your bet on the match?
I lost the bet, but I didn't find the match boring. both teams managed to create chances. Interdefenders managed to overcome the pressing done by Man City players. Haaland was really well faced, although some of his passes managed to make headers and kicks which were handled well by the Inter goalkeeper.
Man City dominated the match, but Inter played very well with their strategy. however, it is not easy to face Man City. we know how scary they are at the moment. and Inter managed to hold a draw without conceding.
Point 1 for losing the bet.  Cry
Point 2 for no goals scored in this tense match. Angry
I have high hopes for Man City and I even give them an 80% chance.
Even so, I agree with you that these two big clubs showed an interesting game.
Inzaghi knows that it will be difficult to keep up with Guardiola's troops, choosing a full defensive strategy is an effective way, and keeping Halland's movement was proven in last night's match that he could not contribute much to Man City, another thing I am amazed by Inter's counter attack, they are fast in flowing the ball forward,
The draw is fair enough for both teams.

Therefore, it is quite strange if @Distraction feels bored watching the match. unless the match is very slow, there are not many attacks made by both teams and the fight will only occur in the midfield, maybe it makes sense.
Looking at the match statistics alone, Man City made 22 shots and Inter made 13 shots, most of which were attempted from counterattacks. they are quite fast in planning counterattacks. but in that match 3 Inter defenders never left their positions. they played very disciplined.

Maybe s/he saw an exciting and interesting match like United's 7-0 win over Barnsley in the EFL Cup.

Celtic who were able to dominate the match against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League did look quite extraordinary and Celtic also had the lead in the first half. And then in the second half Celtic continued to play more aggressively so that they were able to add another goal to five goals against Slovan Bratislava. Actually this is an opponent that is not quite balanced for the Celtic team because Slovan Bratislava was unable to block the attacks built by the Celtic players until Slovan Bratislava suffered so many defeats.

You should understand that champions league is not domestic league where a club remains the best and can easily win all the clubs in their domestic league. This is because champions league is for the best and if you think that you are the best, you will see a club that can do better than you or in the same form with your club and it will become difficult to win such club because you don't know much about their game patterns and you are not used to playing them.

This was what played out yesterday between City and Inter. Everyone thought that it will very a compulsory win for City and they underestimated Inter who showed the world that they're not any EPL club but Italian Champions.
This is the real Big Match, when 2 teams with different characters face each other, it will result in a fierce match. Guardiola total football style has been successfully suppressed by the cattenacio used by Inzaghi, he always makes Inter maintain balance when defending and carrying out counter attacks which makes Manchester City defense have to work hard. Both teams had good chances to score, but poor finishing meant the match ended in a draw.

Inter managed to make 4 on target, but none of their efforts turned into goals. The players must take advantage of the opportunities when facing Manchester City, as Real Madrid did last season, even though they lost in Ball possession, but Real Madrid players managed to take advantage of the opportunities well.

This is UEFA champions league, where strong teams meet to show their strongest which is what you experienced from inter Milan defenders yesterday because Manchester city players thought they can beat inter Milan the way they used to beat Chelsea and other teams in the premier league competition, but there was not such opportunity for them through out the game than to shared the points equally with inter Milan. Even Haaland and other strikers knew that it will not going to be easy for them to secure goals in that game, because they have tested their defenders before in the last season and those defenders are still in the inter Milan in this season that made them not to scored a single goal from the game.

Is like you don't know that Real Madrid are in this competition too, and they may likely give Manchester city what inter Milan gave to them in their first meeting in the UEFA champions league game, Based on my observations in this new tournament, Manchester city will not escape in the hands of Real Madrid and inter Milan to lift the trophy because they are coming with full force to challenge many strong teams in this tournament.

The result was beyond our expectations, I'm sure Haaland will score in this match. However, unexpectedly his performance was less effective. Inter played quite well, although City dominated the match as usual. Yan Sommer played very well, he was able to make five saves. Likewise with Inter Milan's midfielders, Simone Inzaghi's team was able to hold City to a draw at the Etihad Stadium. Regarding the point you said, I'm sure Pep will correct his team to the fullest. What is certain is that he doesn't like this result. I'm also quite sure that many people lost in betting on this match. In another match, PSG vs Girona, playing at the Parc des France, were only able to win narrowly. Even so, it was the Girona goalkeeper's fault. Unlike Dortmund, they played very well and were able to win by a landslide over their opponent.

The match between Manchester City and Inter in the Champions League was a draw. Although many here bet on Manchester City and they lost, this match was a very competitive game between the two teams which resulted in neither team scoring. However, as the match was a draw here, those who won according to the betting odds got a good profit. Between Inter vs Manchester City I initially thought Manchester City would win well but they tied the match. I'm really surprised by the betting tips for the two teams playing at full time that a strong team like Manchester City couldn't get the win. In 1x2 the betting difference between the two teams was huge so here most gamblers lost their bets as most people were in favor of Manchester City.


The odds were really overboard with a city win, the took the form for granted, it's still early in the season, early in the cups and a team not doing great ina few matches doesn't mean it's easy prey, we're not talking second liga teams here, probably being influenced by English teams delivering the needed results in the first day, either way a goal less match an I'm s happen I cut my enthusiasm short after the avalanche of goals yesterday and didn't go for over 2.5 in this match, it was 1.62 and under 0.5 was 16 by the time the match started.


But let's be honest, Manchester City players are not big game players because

Because what?
If Manchester players are not big time players and Mn City is not a top team then who is?
Just because they failed to beat another high rank team suddenly they are middle tier? Get real!

Supposedly what we think with the Big Match match it will be more goals but for this match it is not and it is boring because both teams are strong in defense, so here Man City is still not sharp in its attack especially Haaland cannot score this goal unlike in the Premier League.

I know Inter Milan is not an opponent that can be underestimated, they are strong in defense so it is natural that the result is goalless, we as spectators will obviously be bored to see it.

Although Man City will have a lot of tough matches for him it doesn't matter they can pass this match easily to qualify for the next phase.

Real Madrid won by a big margin in the first match of the Champions League. Real Madrid's opponent in the first match was VfB Stuttgart. Real Madrid won 3-0 against VfB Stuttgart. Mbappe scored the team's first goal in the 46th minute but VfB Stuttgart equalized later on, but late on brilliant finishes from both Brazilian strikers ensured Real Madrid won by a wide margin. Both teams managed to score a total of four goals in the full time, but all of these four goals came in the second half. This is not new for Real Madrid, in many matches they are behind by a big margin but they paid for that goal in the second half and won. Congratulations to the beloved team Real Madrid.
Yes, Real Madrid got off to a good start to this tournament by winning the first match of the UEFA Champions League. We've seen it many times before, with Real Madrid playing more attacking football in the second half than they did in the first half. I think the full 90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu is too long. However, in this match, I like German defender Rudiger's goal with his head. With a shot taken from the corner  VfB Stuttgart put the ball in the club's net and gave his club Real Madrid a 2-1 lead.

After this goal from the corner we thought maybe Real Madrid would win this match with two goals until the last minute but after 90 minutes Endrick scored with a spectacular shot. His goal will be a source of satisfaction for many Brazilian fans as he is credited with scoring this goal from outside the D box.
After slow start of the season now Real Madrid is getting momentum and things are going on track for them even situation is still not as fans were expecting after the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, but Carlos Ancelotti understand how to fix things in coming matches after five rounds they are having 4 points difference from Barcelona which is surely big right now but their start in Champions League is impressive as their attack give their best.

Now in coming weeks, things are looking pretty easy for them which will give them good chance of having better depth and adjustment with this most lethal attack in La Liga their all new signings are working amazing specially 18 years old from Brazil Endrick is amazing add into their attack as he also score his first goal in Champions League just after few minutes of his arrival on ground now after two weeks we will have them in France for next challenge which is also looking not big threat for them.

His goal will be a source of satisfaction for many Brazilian fans as he is credited with scoring this goal from outside the D box.

I've seen this, and I'm also a little worried. This is between Madrid playing effectively or indeed they lose possession. It seems that the injuries of the Madrid players make it a little difficult for them to do that. Madrid during the UCL attacked more with the individual strength of the players. In fact, I was quite amazed for Endrick. Endrick dared to take a long kick, if it wasn't a goal then I think Endrick would have been marked as a Selfish player. But Endrick was a little lucky, because the goalkeeper was also not very good and became a goal.
