[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

Barcelona really played outside their plan. Because they were forced to face Monaco by relying on only 10 players. Hansi Flick really cannot be blamed for Barcelona's defeat in that match. Because this defeat is quite normal. Because after all, playing with only 10 players since the first half must have been a very difficult moment for the Barcelona squad and also for Hansi Flick who had to re-arrange his strategy. But just losing by a narrow score is proof that Barcelona will be able to win if they play with 11 players. And yes, we can hope that Barcelona will win in the next matches.

I think Hansi Flick has planned everything well. But the players in the field did a very bad mistake. I don't know why the goalkeeper did a fool mistake, it leads to a red card got by Eric Garcia. I don't blame Eric Garcia, he may think to try stop the players from scoring a goal. It was purely a mistake done by Ter Stegen.

That red card completely ruined the game for Barca. sad facts
But the team showed fight and character after going down to 10, they still managed to put up a good fight. Lamine Yamal was fantastic.
Now that the game has passed, the players can learn from their mistakes and make sure that the same mistakes are not repeated.
Let's make it count recover, and go back to work. The next game will be interesting.

There should always be an evaluation after finishing a match, whether it is a big evaluation or just a few evaluations that they have to do, in this case it is the final settlement.

I think this will not only be experienced by Inter Milan, because Manchester City must do the same thing. Pep Guardiola will certainly not remain silent seeing this result, because this must be a loss for them because one of their home games failed to get full points.

I was thinking that City will win at home with their current performance in EPL but I was wrong because Inter defense was so strong that they deprived City from penetrating their defense which led to a goalless draw. However, both teams game was balanced and none of them made any mistakes that would have cost them to lose the match. Personally, I think that this season in UCL might be a big challenge for City who couldn't their first match at home but choose to share points with the away team.

That's the important point, both teams did not make mistakes that made them suffer defeat, be it Manchester City or Inter Milan. Both played with very high discipline so they could minimize mistakes.

Actually, what makes a team have to suffer defeat in a tight match like this is because of their own mistakes. The defense they created worked well and that finally made both teams have to share points.

Sharing point shows that none of them currently is stonger than the other. Another match that baffles me is that of Arsenal vs Atalanta, I was expecting Arsenal to win Atalanta but it Atalanta was good and take their European games more serious than their domestic games because in Seria A Atalanta does not always play better compared to European competitions. Arsenal should try their best to win their next UCL match because it is important for them let it no be that what people are sayong about Arsenal poor performance in UCL is true.

Scoring goal immediately been given a red card shows how strong the team is against other teams. They would have tarnish Monaco by many goals but the red card ruin the party and instead of focusing on the goal, they were defending at the same time couldn't do much but they show commitment that's why they had that goal scorer by Yawal Lamine.

If they can okay 10 man with an additional goal, the team can make a come back and if they win their next match tomorrow against Villareal then win, there is every tendency they are still in form, Champions League was just a distraction from their success but they will come back and stronger.

Yep, it is very difficult to play with 10 players. Moreover, it is in the Monaco home. Monaco has an extra support, they have more players in the field as well. I think we can understand if Barcelona got a defeat in this match. Well, Barcelona still has many chances to get points in the next matches.

Yes, it is true that there was a mistake at that moment which caused Barcelona to lose 1 player due to a red card. But one important fact is that Barcelona can play quite normally when facing Monaco. As if Barcelona were playing with 11 players. Unfortunately, it can be said that Monaco is in its best performance even in the Bundesliga. So Barcelona still won't be able to win by relying on 10 players. But yes, there are still many opportunities for Barcelona to collect points in the next matches.

With this new format of the Champions league, I believe that we are yet to know how these teams are faring. If we judge based on the last format, we would have been knowing which teams are likely going to join the Europa league. But with the current format, you can be surprised how far the table will change by the next round. In order for a team to succeed in this format, they most be somwhat consistent throughout the Champions league.

[Bhigdaddyjr]

I think many people lost this time. Yes, because Barcelona must be favored to win against Monaco, right? But Lady Luck was not on their side. Because of a red card, everything was ruined. wkwkkwkw

Luckily I didn't make a bet like this, but seeing how many comments there were on social media, it was quite varied, various curses of defeat were there and also disappointment.

Actually, Barcelona always fought well, it's just that once again, this was really bad luck.

Unbeaten five matches in domestic league make Barcelona become favorite team against Monaco, but early red card receiving by Eric Garcia make Barcelona difficult anticipation huge pressure from AS Monaco players and become first loss in this season. Barcelona must secure seven matches left with three points if won't kicking out more early because new format very difficult reach the higher top position standings who 8 top teams are directly qualify.
Have many weeks left for second match in Champion League, Hansi Flick must winning next match because have many difficult matches left in Champion League phase round.

Barcelona's unbeaten start to the new campaign came to an end on Thursday in their Champions League opener against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II. The Catalans lost 2-1. Barça played catch-up the rest of the game and, despite playing nearly the whole match with 10 men, were unable to salvage at least a point after Eric García was sent off after just 10 minutes.

Football is the best game in the world, and also a tough game. So go out there and have fun
Always ready for an exciting match, the next opponent, Villarreal.
Villarreal are known for their tactical discipline and strong attacking play, especially their ability to counter quickly.
Both teams are in top form and Villarreal will be a tough challenge for Barcelona, ​​but I feel Barcelona might edge it out with their current momentum.

Statistically they drew, so this result is a fair result for both teams. But Arsenal did not play as usual, it seems like what happened in their squad has had quite an effect.

There is still time, this is only the first match for them in the Champions League. They have to focus on looking at the next match, because it will be a very crucial point. It is quite difficult with this new format if you want to qualify directly without playing a play-off match.

[Uruhara]

The draw that Arsenal got in their first UCL match was actually not that disappointing. Because we are all used to seeing the surprises that Italian teams always present. Likewise, Barcelona's defeat by Monaco was not that surprising. Because this defeat can be said to be quite natural. because Barcelona played with only 10 players for almost the entire match from the start of the first half. Because in normal time Barcelona only plays with 11 players for 10 minutes. And the rest they played with 10 players until the match was over. In fact, I want to give appreciation to Barcelona because they didn't concede many goals when they were in a difficult position. because a lack of players on the field is usually a big problem for other teams. I think Arsenal and Barcelona will both win in the next match. But Arsenal was a little unlucky because in the next match a very strong enemy awaited them, namely PSG.

[UNIVERSE]

With this new format of the Champions league, I believe that we are yet to know how these teams are faring.

Every team must adapts with the new format. This looks harder because they need to play more matches. Every coach must be careful to use the players, the coach needs to rotate the players. This is the only way to avoid injured or fatigue. However, for the fans, I think this new format makes it more interesting.

Barcelona's unbeaten start to the new campaign came to an end on Thursday in their Champions League opener against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II.

Barcelona is still unbeaten in domestic competition. But in UCL, Barcelona still couldn't win a single match. It is the first match in UCL, Barcelona was defeated by Monaco. Barcelona may not really focus on UCL, they seems to priority the La Liga.

I believe it's still too early to say anything about their UCl form, not to mention they got a red card on that first match. I think it's too quick to judge they're not trying to compete in the UCL just because of that. You could even argue that Ter Stegen's mistakes cost them that match, but the rest of the players tried to score even after they were down to 10 men.

I think I've made the same comment about this on another forum. The consensus seems to be that Barca is still one of the favorites to go through the league stage and probably end up in the quarter or semi-final.

Yes, their defeat was inseparable from the red card they received at the beginning of the match, so it became more difficult for them because they had to face a team that was superior in number of players.

Any team will have difficulty if they lack players and even that happened when the time was only a few minutes after the first half kick off. They still have many opportunities, because this is only their first match, as long as they can play well in the remaining 7 matches.

[Rruchi man]

Barcelona may not really focus on UCL, they seems to priority the La Liga.

Barcelona have won the champions league before, if there is another opportunity to win another one, I am sure they will gladly take it. Don't interpret or take Barcelona's first game in the Champions League to mean that they are not so interested in it, many teams have lost their first games in a competition and went on to win it, Barcelona have a squad and a coach that can do that. Barcelona remains one of the contenders for the champions League this season.

Of course he has won the Champions League in the past, but he doesn't consider it a primary objective.
In Italy it was Milan that always had priority over the Champions League and the other teams, like Barcelona, ​​gave priority to something else.
A question of priority, not of the skill of the team or the coach
