Over 2.5? Atlético de Madrid will be playing at home. Mate Clubs don’t score more goals there. I would rather advise you go with Atlético to either win or draw. Let Salah and Mane’s form not confuse you into thinking they will score many goals. I have seen Diego Simeone he down many managers and big guns to a draw and even squeezing out a win for himself at home. I remember when Bayern were banging goals all over Europe and in the domestic competitions but they couldn’t even score a goal at Atletico. Liverpool also suffered there last season to a lost at Atlético. Diego Simeone knows how to make your attackers go blank. He is a specialist in that and that’s why the Liverpool Coach always bash him for his crazy pattern of football. I think you should re-evaluate your bets again.
Lucky I didn't evaluate my bet and following your advice keep betting on over 2.5 and sorry this time what you said didn't happen.
Milan lost to Porto, this is not what Milan fans expect, quite surprising they did not perform well in the UCL in contrast to the results they achieved in the league.

I wonder if anyone knows what the odds were for over 4.5 goals. Sportsbet had a special for something like over 1.5 goals each and over 19.5 booking points each, and over 1.5 corners each, which for sure never in my mind I would ever take but who on earth could see this result coming right guys?

It definitely looks like Milan goes out and most can hope for is Europa, unless they win all their remaining games and Liverpool win their next (except against Milan).

Last night ucl match was much more interesting, Dortmund with a suprise of not scoring a goal and conceding 4goals, Psg with a solid comeback, Lionel Messi and Mbappe combination was brilliant, Messi deliberately leaving the second penalty for Mbappe to take, and not wanting to score his first hat trick for Psg, wanting to show Neymar that's he Neymar not entitled to the pk alone lol,, quite interesting to see Leo at what's he's doing best

Grin... I hope you won your bet Mate. I was expecting the usual blank play and overall defensive play throughout a match. You know how Atlético can decide to play sometimes, always play dirty. Aggressive when tackling, yet screaming, rolling, crying like drama queens at the lightest touch. If they had used more of their energy and intellect to play football rather than trying to hound and con referees, they'd have easily won that  match. Their mind games for once didn't work. Their dirty tactics didn't earn them a single point. Even with 10men they still had brilliance that could have drawn the game. Red card justified.

The biggest surprise yesterday was Ajax's hammering of Borussia - with Haller having another good game. I laughed at Ajax when they spent huge money on him but he's really proven to be a great buy for them so far.

I was also surprised how easy it looked for Ajax to defeat Dortmund yesterday, as i thought before the match that both teams are pretty much on the same performance level. It became pretty obvious very quickly though that Ajax is playing at least 1 tier higher than Dortmund. At least that was the case yesterday. Also Dortmund was pretty successful so far both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League in terms of the points gathered but if you look more closely then it becomes obvious that they were pretty lucky in their first two matches of this cl season.

Ajax always gives big surprises but this is still beyond our expectations by easily scoring 4 goals without reply and they play very solid and strong on all fronts, I saw Ajax's game more tidy in the match last night.
Although Haaland appeared quite dominant, Ajax's defense was better and they did not give space to score goals but Borussia were really humiliated even though the game in the local league was always a goal feast but this time Ajax was not given a single chance.

Ajax is this year in a phenomenal form, in the league itself they have only 2 goals conceded, yes it is the Dutch league but also in the Champions League only one goal conceded. All 3 games won in the Champions League and Dortmund dispatched, impressive. Real Madrid and Manchester City have also won their games sovereign, PSG thanks to Messi. Except for Ajax, there were no surprises for me on yesterday's match day.

Manchester United will face Atalanta. Even though Man United is playing at home, there is no guarantee that they will be able to beat Atalanta because Man United is in bad shape. Since losing to Young Boys, Man United's performances have been erratic and obviously, this is a problem.

Actually Man United has good players, it's just that they haven't been able to play solidly and their defense looks so fragile. If there is no improvement in performance, then Man United will have a hard time beating Atalanta.

I think almost all of last night's matches were almost as predicted, but still I really regret it to bet over 1.5 goals in the Porto - Milan match because it ruined my parlay bet. Porto as a home team clearly dominated the match, I just didn't expect Milan to be really like a mediocre team here unlike in the previous two matches when against Liverpool and Atletico who seemed to have high spirits. In this match even Milan seemed to have lost their identity and with this defeat too, it seems that Milan no longer has any hope of being able to advance to the knockout phase, which is a pity.

Salah also Mane which in the last few matches always makes goals and in the EPL Liverpool are the most productive team with 22 goals while the other teams still under 20 goals, maybe this time Atletico's good statistics over LFC don't work well, I prefer over 2.5 and BTTS, although Atletico has good records against LFC, currently LFC more favorites to win by bookies.
Over 2.5? Atlético de Madrid will be playing at home. Mate Clubs don’t score more goals there. I would rather advise you go with Atlético to either win or draw.

The favorites don't have to win every match and that's the beauty of football.
It is true, a favorite club can be defeated by a weaker club. The real example is Dortmund defeated by Ajax today. There were many previous matches that implied the favorite team possible to be defeated. We can say it is the beauty or charm of a football match. A weak team doesn't always be defeated, they always have a chance to win or destroy the favorite teams.


Exactly, it is shocking. At 1:0, I was expecting  Borussia Dortmund to equalize or something. Later on I saw 3:0 on my phone page. I had to watch the game and know what the issue was. Borussia Dortmund play their game and are used to relying on striker Erling Haaland's talent. And their often-unreliable defence couldn't cope with Ajax's smart movement off the ball. Ajax pressed well in midfield to cut the service to Haaland. At a second I was like Ajax  was never the underdog if you know their history. There are a few  top clubs that copied the ajax system around the world.  So i was not surprised the way they played that way. Ajax manager is a very tactical man. He knows the team and how to dismantle the midfield from the attack.

...

11 goals in the first two games... Shocked
the football evening can go on quietly like this Cheesy

If only, but I guess the set of fixtures we've got later on wouldn't provide as much goals as we've witnessed.

hard to believe but the happy goal scoring continued in the remaining games and in the 8 games 35 goals were scored (most in brugge, 1-5 against man city and the fewest in porto, 1-0 against ac milan) Shocked

the performance of dortmund disappointed me a lot - didn't think the club would be so outclassed in amsterdam
and that paris will have such a hard time with leipzig, i didn't think so either ... but that's why we all love our football Cheesy Smiley

Maybe it will be the most boring match tonight. Because the two teams here are strong and no one is interested in losing points. So both teams can play defensively. We have seen that in the Champions League before. We hope the matches of the strong teams will be very competitive, but these matches are not enjoyable. Still, I would expect aggressive gameplay from Liverpool today. Their team is in a very good position now.

Guess it was not the most boring match indeed. From the report alone it said it was an epic encounter. From the red cards the penalties and the VAR issues and everything,,, wow, I have to watch this game again.

As it has now been recorded in Champions League we have 2W 2D 1L for Atletico. Amazing to see,,, cannot wait to watch!

Ajax is no weak team Pal, they've been their league Champions for sometime now, I'll only side your claim when you say in terms of Champions League they haven't performed as expected.
A total of four goals against a very good side as Dortmund is shocking.
Dortmund have been poor actually whenever they're always playing away.

PSG, Liverpool, Ajax, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and FC Porto have won today. The victory of Ajax and Porto was unexpected for me. Because their opponents were strong. Looking at AC Milan's performance, it seems that they are not paying any attention to the Champions League. They want to focus on Serie A this season.

They have no excuse not to perform well; they've been the worst team in the competition so far, losing 3 games in a row; after their improvement last season, I was expecting them to at least perform above average and not play like a shitteam without direction and vision; if they don't improve in their next games, they will not even qualify for the Europa League

PSG 3 vs 2 RB Leipzig
Good Damn Messi, He safe PSG. he created Panenka goal. I also respect Mbappe giving him an executor.

Well forget about the Mbappe and Neymar nonsense, Mess will always be the Penalty kicker except he decided to give it away
Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear that there is no assigned penalty taker and they the players can discuss amongst themselves in the moment. I think the three star players are very good on penalties. It doesn't matter he didn't take the penalty and give it to Mbappe, Because he cannot decide who to takes penalty,  right? He's just a normal player, not a captain ,...not a manager who does.  Messi is so humble giving a penalty to mbappe when he only needed one goal to score a hat-trick. This is not the first time he is doing that.  I also like the link up between Messi and Mbappe and I think this can make him have a rethink about his Real Madrid move.

PSG 3 vs 2 RB Leipzig



Good Damn Messi, He safe PSG. he created Panenka goal. I also respect Mbappe giving him an executor. I admit Leipzig playing well, they are quite troublesome PSG at home, even Leipzig don't have much control of the ball but they created over 15 kick and 4 shots on goal. in close the game, Mbappe failed to execute the penalty, he was appointed executor by Messi. maybe he got nervous.

In the last minute of the game, Messi gives Mbappé the penalty when he gets the chance to score a hat-trick. However, Mbappe missed the penalty. Anyway, Kylian Mbappe looked like he was in control of the situation with his first Champions League goal. Messi and Mbappe won the game against Leipzig, but I am not happy with the defense. The tactic they are using will not always work. Having individuals bail them out if their tactics don't work.

Messi,and Mbape are actually blending well together.Messi was really good,giving his all for the team and ensuring they had a win there.But I never believed Leipzig could give PSG this much tough time,they really played like a team that came with a winning mindset,scoring 2goals.
The game was very interesting on the whole,PSG showed they were superior while Leipzig showed their good team spirit.
Yes, after the score was behind 1-2 from Leipzig, PSG's game was getting crazier because they didn't want to lose to Leipzig even though both teams had played very fiercely since the beginning of the first half, but PSG's game still dominated.
and in the 67th minute PSG star Lionel Messi showed his prowess and made it 2-2 with a cross from Mbappe and Lionel Messi fired a left-footed shot from inside the box, and PSG's draw continued to frighten the Leipzig defense.
So that in the 73rd minute Kylian Mbappe was brought down in the box and Italian referee Marco Guida awarded PSG a penalty, Mbappe also ordered Messi to execute him and did his job well to make the score 3-2 until the end of the match.

Mbappe and Messi played very well and complemented each other, and it's a shame that Neymar didn't play because of injury.

I'm also happy that Madrid won big, at least they still have a chance to get into the knockout stages. At least in group D there will be many options for teams that will advance to the next round. Regarding the Madrid game I think the star today was Vinicius Junior, he scored two goals and did well.

Vinicius Junior played very well and he is really on fire, not only scored 2 goals, but he also made an assist. Overall Real Madrid's performance was quite good, although they didn't dominate the game too much but Real Madrid could take their chances and they had a good finishing. It's different when they fight Sheriff Tiraspol, at that time Real Madrid dominated the game, but they could not take advantage of the opportunity.

Victory Was Successfully Created By Lionel Messi.

I think it's safe to say that Lionel Messi has started getting some chemistry back with the PSG team. I think it's impressive that he did not show self centeredness in trying to get a hat trick to his name even with the Ballon d'or coming soon, it shows good team spirit.

Liverpool on the other hand is a world class team with the ability to cause an upset to any team home or away. Like with the level of dogged defence that Athletico Madrid has, and considering that they were home, who would have thought that they will conceed three goals. Mo' Salah deserves a pay raise for the level of quality he puts on the Liverpool side.

A great Liverpool performance yesterday - although Griezmann's red card helped them to take the game under control. Atletico showed once again that you cannot relax against them, they will use whatever opportunities you give them. Still, scoring 3 goals against them is really hard to do - Liverpool attack is really on fire recently.

The biggest surprise yesterday was Ajax's hammering of Borussia - with Haller having another good game. I laughed at Ajax when they spent huge money on him but he's really proven to be a great buy for them so far.
