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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I couldn't follow up the match as well cause I was a bit busy but  i got into the living room to see that Leverkusen is on fire, they're already leading by 4 goals, it's surprising that Feyenoord couldn't retaliate, not even a goal from them and the match is almost over if not over by the time I finish posting this, too bad Feyenoord, a very tough team in the Eredivisie league suffered a heavy defeat in their home ground. Arsenal's match would kick off in some minutes later, my support is for them based on the love I got for the EPL league, it's going to be a tough one though cause Atalanta is not a team that any club could just beat easily, they're good defensively and Arsenal would have to put extra effort to steal the whole points tonight but I think they'll either come out victorious or draw the match. I think I'll bet on Arsenal to win or draw cause Atlanta got a player which I see as a threat (Lookman) and they're paying at home, the game could end up like that of Manchester City's.

To be sincere it feels a bit strange having champions league games on a thursday  for the first time in the competition history a change caused by the new league format, and surprisingly it's just a one-off thing.
First of let contrast the divisions from whence the two teams teams are playing at and we will agree that despite Leverkusen not having a smooth start in their domestic league it still doesn't make Feyenoord an opponent for to struggle to win. Leverkusen is a topside team in the Bundlesliga so as a matter of fact their taking the lead in this away game was an expected result for me that they are going to get the job done.

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  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.

This night am only for this games because is going to be tough, all the four teams are in good shape but Atalanta performance seems to be declined a little bit but they are full of surprises, like they did in Europa League by defeating the people chose, and now they are hosting Arsenal tonight I know this match is no going to be easy at all, it very difficult to predict but let see how the end will look like. On the other hand Barcelona and Monaco will be very interesting to watch because the both teams are fully ready to fight for themselves and both are in their best form, let see how the entertainment will look like.

I think betting on Man city to win was my biggest mistake for this week, the ods wasn't attractive but i got amazed by what they are doing in the Premier league but unfortunately inter was very solid defensively and they was able to resist during the whole 90m

Bayern, Bayer and Dortmund have already scored 30 goals in their last two games (including the last round in the Bundesliga)  
WTF is going on?! Have they found a new secret doping? I wonder if this is their best shape and they will continue to decline or if this is just the beginning and we will continue to see double-digit scores  

Bringing the score to 4-0 in the first half already was such an impressive work by Leverkusen.    They were already outweighing Feyenoord on paper but I wasn't expecting this much to happen in such a short time. 

I see that Kerem Aktürkoğlu is really happy with signing for Benfica recently. This is his second goal in second game. I think Galatasaray sold him for a very cheap price. Most probably Benfica will sell him for two or three times that price. Anyways, looking at the remaining games of the night, I think Monaco - Barcelona and Atalanta - Arsenal are the most watchable ones. Atletico Madrid - Leipzig depends on the tempo. You know Simeone.

I think all the favourites will win tonight. I will watch Barcelona the most I assume. Because I really admire Hansi Flick footbal. 

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.

If Haaland can scores in this match he would broke the records of Cristiano Ronaldo as a player who can scores 100th goal in 104 matches but unfortunately he was failed to scores and seems Inter Milan players has been know how to stop Haaland because in this match Haaland unable to move freely so we can see it based on Haaland statistics for this match because he only have 3 shot with 1 shot on target so Inter Milan defensive players is really successfully to guarded Haaland and after this match some people has been talking about Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi because he can guarded Haaland with very well which make Haaland performing poorly in this match

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.

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 did play very well in this match. They closed the first half with 0-4, an extraordinary result. But what was also surprising was the game and strategy used by coach Brian Priske, even though he faced a stronger team like Leverkusen. He did not use a defensive game. In the first half, Feyenoord also managed to get several opportunities. There were 8 shots taken, although they had not yet become goals. Xabi Alonso is indeed a good coach. Seeing how Leverkusen's game transitioned from attack to defense, they played very well and neatly.

The match between Monaco and Barcelona is expected to be a tough one, looking at both teams' performances. Barcelona is actually doing well in their domestic league, despite Monaco’s own form. Based on these performances, I agree with you that it is going to be difficult to predict the outcome of this match. However, from my own observations, after considering a few factors and comparing Ligue 1 with La Liga, it seems that Barcelona may be the favorite to win.But let's wait and see what happens. Many people had high hopes for Manchester City against Inter Milan, but at the end of that match, the result surprised almost everyone. When comparing the squads of Manchester City and Inter, it was somewhat clear that City had a slightly better squad than Inter Milan. Sometimes, though, it’s not just about the great players on a team but how tactically they play at the moment.
