Thus, currently in the Champions League standings that Girona only has three points and Liverpool has 15 points and clearly, their positions are very different. Liverpool are at the top of the Champions League table, but Girona are only in 30th position and clearly, Girona is a team that is in the lower zone of the standings. Such a big difference in their position also shows that even though Girona will play at home, it does not make Girona have a chance to get points. It seems that any effort Girona will make is unlikely to succeed, moreover Girona has also just lost at home in La Liga because Girona got a big defeat 0-3 against Real Madrid. Thus, I personally do not hesitate to still choose Liverpool perhaps also with the handicap option.

Girona will be the opponent that Liverpool will face in the 6th match. Looking at Girona's appearance, Liverpool should have no trouble winning the match, even though they will play as the away team in this match.
Arne Slot has succeeded in implementing a very good strategy and the players can also execute it very well on the field, that is one of the keys to their success this season, at least so far.
Girona who will be their opponent is in a situation that is the opposite of Liverpool. They have difficulty winning and getting points in the League Cup. From the matches they have played, they only got 1 win and 4 losses.

Atalanta have been one of the most consistent teams not just in Italy but in the whole of Europe this season which is why I think it's very understandable when some persons opine that they'll beat Real Madrid when they host the Spanish and European champions in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. That said, I think Carlo Ancelotti's men have all it takes to pick maximum three points in that game.  Historically, Real Madrid stands a better chance of getting the better of Atalanta as they've proven to be a team that can get the best results in important games and as a fan of the Spanish giants, I'm optimistic Real Madrid will win that game

In the UEFA Champions League, it's never advisable to underestimate any team because for a club to qualify for the UCL, it means they're already Champions in their various perspectives leagues. Atalanta is no average team, do remember they were the ones that break the longterm unbeaten record of Bayer Leverkusen previous season, thrashing Leverkusen 3 nil in the Europa League, you forgotten all that so soon? Carlo Ancelotti wouldn't jeopardize his odds when he sees one. Real Madrid have the perfect shape to continue hitting on competitive oppositions but they're also having a rough time winning games despite having the perfect squad to win competitive titles this season, what's holding them from having a smooth season? The new players are finding some difficulties to adapt to the new style.

Is it true? Isn't Real Madrid already experiencing consecutive defeats? and from the 5 matches they have played they have experienced 3 defeats here, that is not a good thing, and it also has the potential to increase (they experience defeat again).
I have no doubt that Real Madrid is a top team and can always surprise in the Champions League, but that also does not eliminate the fact that they could also achieve something very disappointing this season, one of which is losing again to Atalanta in their 6th match in the Champions League.
Regardless of all that, I'm sure they don't want that to happen and of course they will prepare as best they can to go through this match.

Atalanta is in its best mode in several seasons Atalanta has made significant progress in several competitions, both in the Domestic League and the European League, while Madrid we know they are still in confusion mode this season, several matches they have passed, especially the Champions League, they seem to have lost their passion in this fight, although we know that some of their core players who are injured or absent certainly understand that, but looking at these two clubs it seems that people will side with Atalanta compared to Real Madrid because the strengths that Atalanta has are integrated into their game, it seems that Madrid will have difficulty in this match because of their lack of attacking power in several lines.

Well, Real Madrid actually has everything they need to become champions again in the UCL this season, just like last season. Even this season, Real Madrid has an additional star player, namely Mbappe. but we know that this team is being hit by a storm of injuries, which is why Vinicius Jr. might not even be able to play in the match against Atalanta. But hopefully he can play. But I doubt the injury recovery will be that fast. But even though Real Madrid has great players, this team is not in their best condition because of the storm of injuries. Their back line is truly unbelievable at the moment. So against Atalanta it feels like it will be quite difficult for Real Madrid this time. Because Atalanta has shown us how solid they are this season not only in the UCL but also in their domestic league, namely Serie A. I would understand if there would be many who bet on Atalanta in this match. But I'm sure many people will also try to believe in Real Madrid again in this match.

Football is far from a team being bigger or has more quality players and finance than the other because what we are practically looking at now is based on a team current performance and not about history or records they have kept in the past. Real Madrid is a big team and we all know that but is answering a big team going to play the match for them? As a matter of fact, Madrid is still inconsistent despite they haven't lost too many matches. Atalanta's team is full of life and energy and the players has the capacity to discharge their duties perfectly so they are incomparable with Real Madrid for now and am seeing a picture of Madrid not advancing further in the Champions league because the team lacks a lot of things added with the injury crisis they are faced with. Atalanta has a better advantage over Real Madrid but if things don't go in their favor then they can end in a draw.

You are absolutely right, I think or believe that Real Madrid is not going to have a consecutive defeat in the Champions League even though they are not in a good form it won't be  that easy because Real Madrid experience in Champions league is nothing to compare with any team or club I can still remember the season they came from behind and win Chelsea, PSG, Manchester city and some other even when these team were in their best form. Sometimes I think champions league is just for Real Madrid because whenever you mention champions league Real Madrid is always first and it won't be complete if they are not there. There winning yesterday is an evidence of improvement.

It is not Leipzig that PSG will face in the next match, but FC Red Bull Salzburg and this should be a match that PSG can win considering that in terms of team strength, PSG is the most favored in this match. and in the other two matches, PSG will face VFB and Manchester City. Hopefully PSG can give their best in the remaining 3 matches, so there is still hope to be able to enter the playoff zone.

And for Real Madrid, they will indeed face a fairly tough opponent, namely Atalanta, which is a fairly consistent team this season. And even though Real Madrid has a fairly good record when facing Atalanta, but seeing how Real Madrid is currently performing on the field, it is quite difficult to win this match. And I hope Real Madrid can give their best, I don't expect more, just hope this match ends in a draw.

I admit that Atalanta is in their best form and I also admit that Madrid performance is declining, but I assume that the top team Madrid will not possibly experience consecutive defeats in the UCL. Meanwhile, in this competition, Madrid has always been a favorite every season.
So in the meeting of the two teams later, I have a positive result between a draw or Madrid winning.
I think Ancelotti has been able to get a good player formation now after winning in La Liga, most likely Ancelotti uses that line-up.

PSG are already on the edge of the Champions League elimination zone and will face RB Leipzig this weekend, so there is no need to expect much that PSG are still not worthy of advancing further. The Champions League seems too difficult for them.

Above PSG is Real Madrid who also have very little chance because they will face Atalanta. It makes sense why Madrid are considered to have little chance, in terms of performance they still can't promise anything and are now bottom of the standings in 24th position, so the match against Atalanta determines whether Madrid advances to the play-off round or out.

Apart from what you said, I actually hope their match can be fierce even though Real Madrid's performance has not been good so far. Because Ancelotti will definitely find a way for his team's performance to improve a little when facing Atalanta in the Champions League because Madrid must be able to win in three matches in this phase. And Atalanta themselves will also try to perform as well as possible in front of their own supporters so this could provide a level of fierceness in their match later.

I agree with everything that you said, Madrid has all the superstars in the world from the history and is the strongest in European competition. However, Atalanta only has average players that looks very strong due to their current form. When analyzing on a football match, you check if the teams are in form or not. Real Madrid is not in form like previous seasons which gives Atalanta the chance to win the match, because they are in form.

It's true that Atalanta is not as strong as Liverpool and of course in the next match Real Madrid will definitely have a big chance of winning because after all Real Madrid has lots of star players which will definitely be exciting. but in my opinion Atalanta is of course currently in good form so of course Ancelotti must be prepared because of course, however, in my opinion Atalanta cannot be taken lightly.

But of course, with the wealth of experience that Real Madrid and Ancelotti have, Ancelotti will definitely try to get up because of course, even though Real Madrid is currently ranked 24th, this is of course very different from Atalanta, which is currently ranked 4th in the standings. Now it seems like Ancelotti is always learning from experience and of course with Real Madrid's win against Girona I see Mbappe really performing better now and certainly not like in the previous matches against Bilbao in Laliga and Liverpool in UCL.

I feel like I can't wait to see their match and I hope that there will be lots of goals scored in that match to make it even more exciting and it looks like I will bet on Real Madrid winning because even though currently Real Madrid has a lot of injured players, of course it doesn't rule out the possibility with Ancelotti's strategy that will Real Madrid can play well and endanger the opposing team.

People who said Real Madrid is better than Atalanta because Real Madrid have a good history in Champions League and domestic league, they have more money, they have star players and their popularity is really huge.

This completely different to Atalanta who don't have any good history in international league and domestic league, not a rich team, less star players and they're not popular.

But, if we judge from the current performance, Atalanta is better than Real Madrid.

If Atalanta is 95 from 100, Real Madrid is still 80 from 100.

Nothing is impossible in football, sometimes weak clubs can also give surprises and sometimes with a little time left, any club can make a comeback to win. Reportedly, Vinicius Jr has been training at this time so I think he will return sooner than expected and most likely he will play in the match against Atalanta, this is very good news, many people's concerns about Real Madrid are starting to diminish because Vinicius will not let his favorite club continue to lose, he will fight hard to bring victory to Real Madrid in this match.

Dortmund got three points against Celtic. Zagreb, Brugge and SK sturm Graz. These are weak teams in UCL. Nothing surprised if they are topping the competition now. The real test is gonna happen once they enter R16. They became a flop when fought against a strong team.

They're not gonna leave from UCL at the group stage, but probably happen once they reached R16 or R8.

Beating Real Madrid has got to be one of the easiest things I've seen with my eyes this season. Clubs Atalanta are currently better than dis this so I'm not to be boggled or bothered if I eventually see this happening.
Talks of Kylian Mbappe losing confidence makes me laugh,  he never lost confidence,  things have not just worked well for him immediately he joined the biggest club in the world. If feels good to see him scoring and making little progress regardless regardless.

Although Borussia Dortmund's chances of winning the Bundesliga championship are very low, they don't have any bad games in the Champions League except for the game they played against Real Madrid. With this performance, Dortmund seems to continue to compete among the top 8 teams in the points table. They are playing better in the UCL than their unsuccessful games in the German league. Maybe the players are trying to show themselves in the UCL. Congratulations to them, if they get 3 points from Barça in the UCL, it will be great for them.
