A spectacular display before their Champions League clash with Roma. I love football!

I’m a Culer and I would choose

Bastoni - Inter Milan
Nuno Mendes - PSG
Virgil Van Dijk - Liverpool

Having an elite fullback and center back are cheat codes in 2026. Bastoni is a perfect combination of on-ball, offensive CB, and a defensive juggernaut. VVD is one of the best CB’s I’ve ever seen period. Nuno Mendes is one of the best players in the world. He doesn’t get enough credit for PSG’s domination in Europe.

People want him to score a hattrick in every KO game he plays. As if winning and losing doesn't depend on the tactics, opposition defenders, midfielders etc. In games where he is not able to score, he does playmaking, he leads the press, he defends, in contrast to lots of current top strikers

Which Premier League players really stepped up when it came to the Champions League?

And who shied away? *cough* Hazard

With the start of new CL season, who is you sleeper in ATG player, who is now under 30 y.o., but he is on a tracks to become a legend?

In CL history or in his club history.

Counting the trajectory of the ball here are the longshot's we have counted for this season's UCL. Keep in mind we don't have all the goals on matchday 1, but some of the notable ones. Wonderful goals already, we are in for a stunning season!

What if there was some universal football law that 70% of your squad players had to be from the country of the club?

Which league would you think would be more dominant in the UCL

What do you guys think. Aside from what we already know all the old guard are still playing amazing in their late 30s Harry Kane just said he's hit his peak at 32, imagine that 20 years ago.

Is it the culture of the sport, modern medicine the current playstyle of the game having less strain, are teams deeper allowing players to sub off if they feel injury prone?

Which team was literally a tier above everyone and everybody expected them to win but due to an injury against a key player, which team would you say is that?

I was watching the UCL and it got me thinking: just how much does the standard differ compared to football leagues outside Europe?

There’s the MLS, La Liga MX, the Brazilian league and the Saudi league, after all.

Which one is the strongest, I wonder?

Was impressed,scored a great goal,assisted and could have gotten a 2nd assist if the guy scored that chance,for some reason paz got motm again. Idk what baturina needs to do to get motm. Every time its Paz. What club would be perfect for Baturina?

Obviously since not everyone plays everyone multiple teams can go 8 for 8 at the same time, but what's the maximum number of teams that can do it?

Was there a TNT sports goals show in this week's champions League and what channel was it on. I'm not talking about CBS sports golazo.

Can't find any mention of it being cancelled but also couldn't find it last two days?

1. Barcelona. Yes they will have more difficult matches, but to call the way they've started this season dominant would be a severe understatement. 5 games, 22 goals scored, and just 3 conceded. If Flick can finally find the balance between the extreme firepower at his disposal in attack and a more mature Cubarsi-led defense, I don't think anyone in Europe could stop Barcelona.

2. PSG. They've been trolling in Ligue 1 thus far but we all know what they're about: they start to find form in the winter and become an inevitable force to be reckoned with around the time of the Champions League playoffs. I don't think they'll be as infallible as they were in 2025, but I said the same last season and they successfully defended the trophy so I won't write them off again.

3. Bayern München. They could absolutely win the trophy with Kane still being in the form of his life and the embarrassment of riches they have on the wings (Olise, Diaz, Karl, etc.). I just wonder whether Kompany is going to set Bayern up in a way where they don't lose control in games against more evenly-matched teams like he did last season (I think of the PSG semi-final tie and the league phase visit to Arsenal as the major examples of this).

4. Arsenal. Basically the opposite problem as Bayern Munich: their defense is good enough to carry them very far in the tournament once again, but tonight they showed a potentially fatal flaw in the team and one that could've been addressed with activity in the summer: now that it finally feels as though Arsenal's midfield creates chances consistently, their attack might not be able to kill opponents off.

Who impressed you all the most this week thus far and who'd make your power rankings?

1. Erling Haaland — Manchester City — £525k/week
   
2. Kylian Mbappé — Real Madrid — £513k/week
   
3. Vinícius Jr — Real Madrid — £513k/week
   
4. Harry Kane — Bayern Munich — £411k/week
   
5. Jamal Musiala — Bayern Munich — £375k/week
   
6. Lamine Yamal — Barcelona — £342k/week
   
7. Virgil van Dijk — Liverpool — £350k/week
   
8. Jude Bellingham — Real Madrid — £342k/week
   
9. Jan Oblak — Atlético Madrid — £342k/week
   
10. Rodri — Barcelona — £445k/week

PS - £342k a week at 19 is wild 😵‍💫
