I believed in Manchester United to win their game against Atalanta last night but they were barely able to get one point with a goal came in the stoppage time.

You believed! You must be a very rear fan of Manchester United if you are actually. For me, I never for one second thought of them winning a team like Atalanta, especially with the team playing from a home side where they would be all in on the game. The best Manchester United could have got out of that game was the result they got last night, a draw. It's just how it is and they were very lucky to have had CR7 make those last minute goals.

Ronaldo was the savior of the team in this game indeed. His 2-goal performance was really impressive for me and most people I guess. I really like to watch this version of Ronaldo. Maybe he is 36 now but he still makes a big effort and tries to show a big performance. And he did his work superbly in this one.

You know, at times I hear people say CR7 is aged and I laugh. I laugh because, its a thing about football fans to criticise when the expected result don't seem to surface. Yeah, his aged but, his still good on the pitch and the best player on and for any team. I feel for him for being in Manchester United, I don't think it's a team for him neither is Ole a manager that could help him to his potent once more.

Actually, my favourite team are not Manchester United. Grin

I believed in them because I saw a really solid Manchester United against Tottenham in the Premier League before this game. They simply destroyed Tottenham away by 3-0. And Ole tried a new game plan also (like preferring two CFs, Ronaldo and Cavani). And it really worked! I hoped to see it working against Atalanta also. But it turned out that Manchester United struggled a lot. I was wrong about believing in them.

Manchester city vs Paris SG will not be an easy one at all. At this juncture, I so much trust Guardiola. He hardly takes humiliation twice but if he does he will surely come back. Tuchel wanted tried it in England and succeeded just twice.
I don't think the France side will be twice lucky.
The Citizens are coming for win and nothing less than win. It will not be easy but it's a win.

Pep Guardiola once said that PSG players are feared a lot because the quality of their players is so good so Pep will still try to win back in the second leg at home but I'm not so sure even with a draw this match will be possible in that result.
Mancity and PSG are big clubs with many star players it's just how it is from their respective strategies and I believe Pep rather than Pochettino but the PSG coach will be confident in the players he has even if he plays away but PSG have great players, but we'll see the results and still long to be seen.

Teams I think have qualified from Wednesday although not official liverpool, ajax, Manchester city and inter milan any of this teams not to qualify will be unheard of to me, I think athletico Madrid and simone has had wonderful year behind them, two spanish la liga, and a UEFA champions league final game, but all things has to end, I am in support of athletico Madrid changing coach and it time they do so simone needs new challenges and so does the club need new strategies, they have to part ways respectfully.

Simeoene is the best coach for Atletico Madrid, why should he leave? I'm sure if he left Atletico Madrid they wouldn't get a lot of respect from other team because Simeone's passion for Atletico Madrid is very influential. He has to get support to stay at Atletico madrid, he is very energetic. But if he decide to get a lot of new experiences and challenge, I think he will support too.

In my opinion , Barcelona current position is still very insecure and they could end up in third if they are not able to beat Benfica in the fifth match later.

It is not too risky to think that Barcelona will beat Benfica in that match. I heard that Dembele has returned and that Barcelona will gain new strength in that position because of his presence.

Iam busy this week and I missed so many Champions League match which is certainly quite interesting to watch.

I was surprised by the results of some Champions League matches this week especially the match between PSG vs Leipzig and Manchester United vs Atalanta. PSG and Manchester United should have won their respective match but had to end it with a draw. Even so, PSG and Manchester United have a great chance to qualify for the next round but must ensure that with one more win.

Some of the leaders in the current group have already qualified for the next stage and some are still fighting for more point. Of course it would be very interesting if the team had to confirm it in the last match of the group stage. I'm happy that finally Barcelona also won 2 match to give him a chance.

Some of the leading teams did not get positive results in the fourth match of the champions league and that made them have to fight again in the fifth match later, in addition to the 4 teams that have qualified for the next round, of course we will still see many exciting matches from the big teams who will determine their fate in champion league.

Yes, I also found this game dangerous on the part of Real Madrid, since they had to secure themselves with a more comfortable advantage than one goal. But thanks to Benzema, everything ended well. By the way, if we talk about statistics, then in the next season (or by the end of this) Benzema will bypass Raul in the total number of goals scored for Real Madrid. Only Ronaldo will be ahead Cool

Everyone taking note and complementing benzema, who noticed Vinicius junior last night,the Brazilian is such a big talent.
Providing two assist to benzema in the game.~

Vinicius Jr. is talented, no one denies this, but he has yet to prove that he is worth something and if he wants to go down in the history of football, then years of hard work are ahead. I remember a lot of players who were very bright in their youth but never made it to the next level.

Benzema is a great player and a consistent scorer. If he keeps scoring like he already does, he will bypass Raul this season for sure and not the next one. Wink

To catch up with Raoul, he needs to score 32 more goals, given the fact that in a good season Benzema scores 30 goals on average, it will be quite difficult.

Good prediction in the end for you, it was a 2-goal difference anyway, but I was also right that winning big would be difficult. Even playing against 10 men Liverpool could not score another goal and if not for VAR you would actually get the exact 3-1 score~

Klopp just wanted to qualify that's all and that's perfectly understandable so they can focus on premier league while giving some of their other players a chance to shine against big teams still in the remaining 2 games.

Well I was expecting Liverpool to score few more and maybe some goals from Atletico as well as they also wanted to avoid a tough contest later on but guess Liverpool just wants to make things easy for themselves as early as possible.

Liverpool have qualified but they have made things quite interesting for the rest of teams in their group. Now for Atletico they need to win both the matches in order to qualify.

Liverpool still are one of the teams that I love watching in the Champions League a lot now. They had a game against Atletico Madrid home last night. And I was definitely favoring Liverpool to win this game too.

Liverpool are one of best teams in Europe this season. They are strong and balancing between defense and attack. The return of Van Dijk helps to improve the quality of their defense that in turn improves general results for them.

In the last season, they managed to do well without Van Dijk in a few months before they lost control and only were able to come back at very last matches in Premier League.

It's hard to say but I think Liverpool won't have an easy match against Atletico.

In the end, it was an easy victory for Liverpool against Atletico Grin

Personally, I expected a much more uncertain match, but Liverpool was really dominant in this match and they could have achieved a much bigger victory if they had a little more luck.
If Liverpool continue to play at this level, then they will once again be one of the top favorites to win the Champions League.
Salah really thrilled me, he was unstoppable and it seems to me that at the moment he is perhaps the best player in the Champions League.
In addition to Liverpool, the favorites of the Champions League are Manchester City, Chelsea, Paris SG and Bayern, according to what I have seen so far.

Manchester United VS Villarreal is a need to win game for Ole and United they should have dominated this table but clearly have not. Golden boy, Ronaldo will have to show up as he has done in the last two games which has made these matches must see on television.

I am looking forward to see how Manchester city handles PSG at home. The combination of Messi and Mbappe will definitely strain the city's defense, especially coming off last weekend's defeat at home to crystal Palace.

Hopefully the stadium will be rocking and city sort out their online tickets, there will be many Parisian fans there so I hope there will be safety in place.

I'm not sure about AC Milan because they look helpless against any team in group B. So far AC Milan still has a chance to qualify for the Europa League but they have to work hard for it and the only condition to qualify for the Europa League is by win the next 2 match. But obviously it won't be an easy game as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are strong rivals for AC Milan.

It will be very difficult to face from the remaining UCL matches so it is possible that AC Milan will not qualify for the Europa League because I am sure they will not be able to fight Liverpool and Atletico Madrid who are so strong as rivals, one of them must work hard to win because I admit that Milan in Serie A is no longer in doubt, but with the UCL and European leagues like that there is no hope and Milan must really focus on Serie A as the trophy he is aiming for this season.

indeed, they will be difficult and even likely to be underdog in these last 3 matches.
on the other hand there will always be opportunities and we can't see any results as long as it doesn't happen on the field.
at least they should be able to get points in the match against these two clubs.
even though they will not qualify but at least they can prove that they are not the weakest team in UCL k

All the teams in Group E were strong. AC Milan and Porto and Atletico Madrid, all three teams are strong. However, Liverpool's excellent performance has enabled them to advance to the next round. I thought Atletico Madrid and Liverpool would go to the next round. But Atletico Madrid's qualification is still uncertain. They have to win against Porto, as well as draw with AC Milan.

Did you mean group B?

Milan can actually win the next match with great enthusiasm and also not awkward when it comes to dealing with Inter later. but when it was a draw with Porto it was already difficult to break through the defense which was quite tight in the area behind and on the left side of Porto.

Impressive comeback for ajax yesterday after the red card for dortmund it made it easier for them and they won with 3 1 score i did not see that coming because dortmund are tough in their stadium and i thought that after their loss 4 0 away they would be more motivated to take their revenge but their defense is still causing them trouble they are conceiding goals in every game so if they need to compete for the title they need to find solutions.

I would say that impressive was (in a way) that Dortmund manage to lead and sustain it with 10 men until Ajax found the equalizing goal. After that, I think Borussia just drop the game, and their defense collapses.

Right, Ajax can really take advantage of the situation perfectly because if we look at the statistics at least it's clear how Dortmund were very aggressive at the start. In half time Dortmund was dominating which meant Dortmund really wanted a win to secure its position, it was clearly seen because Dortmund won in goal attempts and shots on goal. With a result like this, if Dortmund want to qualify, at least Dortmund must win in the two remaining matches, and it looks like it's not easy against Sporting because Sporting when playing at home seems to promise a sure win.

PSG played an away match against Leipzig last night and missed the chance of beating them. It ended by a 2-2 draw. This kind of results are not very good for PSG if they really want to win the title this season. Maybe they won't have much problem on advancing to the next round. But they need to perform much better than this to be assertive about winning the title.

Maybe without Messi as line up team make them not have impressive performance and just playing draw with Leipzig after last minutes ended Leipzig success make goal with penalty kick. Still not consistent right now how PSG performance on champion league, after success defeat Manchester City before PSG keep not impressive performance and loss many points. I think they just lucky because in their group just have chance for Manchester City as candidate for pass to knock out phase.
