[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

Bayern is getting a lot of bashing after their last game, but I don't think it's all that bad.
If they have any performance problems at all, that would be a problem with consistency not the lack of skills.
In all fairness, they performed better than I expected from them, given the not-so-great league performance last season and the fact the club took a gamble with a manager with very little experience in the highest level of competition.

They could've done better in the league game against Eintracht, and one point in an away game against Leverkusen was a decent outcome (they've one all the other league games), considering how dominant Leverkusen have been in the prior season.
The 4-1 loss to Barcelone might indeed look like they got outclassed, but if you look at the game stats, Bayern dominated in ball possession and had a similar number of shots on goal, so it wasn't as one-sided performance as many seem to think.

Bayern Munich seemed to dominate the match, but unfortunately they often failed to bring their attacks to the Barcelona defense line so that again and again they were hit by a comeback from Barcelona.

I'm glad to see that someone is humiliating Bayern, I'm just sorry that Barcelona didn't score more goals. Those cunts ^Bayern humiliate whenever they can, it's nice to see things turn around a bit.
Just a few weeks earlier, they gave 9 goals to Dinamo Zagreb, they were looking forward to that victory even though the opponent was undersized and obviously had a very bad day. They show zero respect to their opponents, that's how they should be treated.

By the way, I'm not a fan of Barcelona, ​​I have an equal antipathy towards that club.

In the last match yesterday, Barcelona really saw a change when they played against Bayern Munich. Usually, this big Bundesliga club is one of the annoying clubs for Barcelona, ​​which usually humiliates Barcelona without mercy, even Barcelona was once slaughtered 8-2 by Bayern Munich. and even if you look at H2H, from the previous 6 matches, Bayern Munich always won. and this time this year, with Lewandowski and also Hansi Flcik ex Bayern Munich in Barcelona, ​​they can really turn things around to be that good, with a big win over Barcelona. This is quite satisfying, yes, even though there is still a big gap when viewed from the H2H history.

It's all good. It was Barca's time to hit back and dominate their European rivals. Both teams are in the knockout phase in the table but I still expect both teams to advance to the round of 16 and who knows if they will face each other again.

Both teams are the same cunt there. If they have the opportunity, they will certainly try to humiliate someone, especially when there are smaller clubs on the other side. For this reason, I love it when embarrassing results happen to them too, and I hope there will be more of them.

The 3rd match of the Champions League has been played in full by all teams and we can start to see how the situation is in the standings. We can start to see which teams will be eliminated in this league round.

However, there is still very fierce competition, especially in positions 8 and above and 9 and below. The distance between the teams is only 1 point and it is filled by many teams, so each match result will be very decisive.

Definitely, We notice that in global world football the battle in the Champions League becomes interesting after the 3rd meeting where patterns begin to emerge. But it is not over yet, at least regarding the middle part of the standings table where the fight is very condensed. The competitive gap between the teams is just one point and therefore every match in the cycle has a huge difference between the rankings. This increases the level of competition and we are well aware that even the smallest aspect in each match determines which position the team is going to be at the end of the tournament. The teams that are at the lower end of the rankings now should be really grabbing every chance just to stay in this competition.

There are still 5 matches left, which means that even the teams that are currently in a better position cannot be comfortable just like that, because the number of matches still allows them to be shifted if they cannot play well in the remaining matches.

What is interesting is when I see that positions 1,2 and 3 are all filled by teams from the Premier League, and even now the standings are led by Aston Villa who are actually not much taken into account.

Yep. The top three are Premier League teams. Liverpool and Villa are joint top but Villa has 1 more goal and the two teams under Villa are miles ahead of them in the PL.
But there is no guarantee that a Premier League club will win the Champions League this season.
And yeah we know that it's only three games, the Champions League has just started. In more games Barcelona and Madrid are coming for that first position because they have made big statements in the last matches.

It seems like teams from the Premier League do have an advantage over teams from other leagues, but what caught my attention was Aston Villa who made 3 consecutive wins with a pretty good score without conceding a single goal. And we know that the opponents that Aston Villa faces are not weak opponents, but they are Young Boys, Bayern and Bologna.

Anyway, Unai Emery is doing a great job for his team so that it has not conceded and is temporarily in the top position.
The next match against Club Brugge which Aston Villa can say will win again considering the performance is quite good and I think Aston Villa will qualify not need to enter the playoffs later if they continue to collect many points.

Who would have expected Aston Villa to be the club having this kind of result in the Champions League? The supporters of the football club will be very proud of the result that the club has achieved, as they are benefiting from the tactical intelligence of the coach and then the form that some players are on, like Duran. I am not expecting Aston Villa to win the Champions League but I believe that they can achieve an amazing result that is unexpected.

I don't think that they are getting this result based on the tactics of the manager alone. I feel the manager has being able to build confidence in this players, making them very resistive and treat to bigger teams as well. Just imagine, they already have two strikers, and the manager is using them both in an effective way. They don't even have the best defense, but they play a defensive ball like a team, and also attack like a team. I agree with you that they will definitely go far in the competition, but they are not the favorite to win the trophy. I think they have a bigger Chance to win other title in their league, and definitely not the UCL.

Hansi Flick's ability to change Barcelona is truly reliable even though it's only early in the season but he can come in and make the club that solid. He has proven his quality and with his experience he has made Barcelona more productive this season. This makes them much better in the UCL and ready to face various other top clubs in Europe, both from La Liga and other leagues.

Honestly I did not expect that it would be Aston Villa who became the top standing UCL at the beginning of the season. and moreover, because they play very consistently and solidly. they can optimize all chances to win, especially when playing against teams below them, they can really optimize getting points from them, because I am sure that Aston Villa must realize that it will be quite difficult to overcome the top clubs, so they are that solid to always get 3 points when playing against clubs that they can handle. This proves their seriousness in UCL this time, Rivals with Liverpool who have also never lost in UCL. yes this is very interesting, the greatness of their coach and also the players who have high motivation in this UCL.

I also think the same about Aston Villa. That is, they will qualify for the next stage without any significant difficulties in the sense that they will not go through the playoffs if they continue to get maximum winning results in the remaining matches of this round. against Club Brugge it doesn't seem like it will be a big problem for Aston Villa either. because AC Milan, which is not in good form, was able to beat Club Brugge. So I think Aston Villa will also be able to do what AC Milan did in the match against Club Brugge.

It is true that there is no guarantee that by placing many teams at the top of the standings they will be able to become champions this season. The journey is still very long and we do not know what will happen next.

Actually, we have seen many situations like this, even when Manchester City became champions, there were many teams from Serie A in the last 8, even though they sent one representative in the final but they failed to become champions.

Nowadays the dominance winner teams in Champion League between La Liga and Premier League teams, for Serie A have been longer time since Inter Milan become the winner on season 2010 never have any Serie A teams success become the winner although have opportunity when Juventus success leading to the final but defeated by Barcelona on season 2013/14.

Last great another achievement from Inter Milan when success qualifying until final round at season 2022/23 but in the final defeating by Manchester City, in this season only Inter Milan have consistent performance after Milan, Juventus and Atalanta seems difficult will reach the top 8 standings place.

There are still 5 more matches in this round and we will see how far they will get points if they continue to lose then they will not qualify or enter the playoffs.
For now it is still difficult to guess which will qualify but obviously the teams from the premier league have a chance to qualify all of them.
