Hi there! Greetings from Buenos Aires. Im planning a eurotrip for the next year and for the final date I will be on Germany, I know that the final will be on Allianz Arena, so...my question is, when it will be available for buying tickets for that final?

Champions league knockout phase tickets

Hey guys, I am from Canada and I have been watching the champions league since I was 7, all the way back in 2004. I have never watched a game in real life, due to financial reasons. Now I can finally afford to go watch a game and I really want to see a round of 16 or quarter final or even a semi final. I am a huge Bayern Munich supporter, but to be honest I don't really care which teams I will be seeing. I was wondering if there is an official website to purchase the tickets. I also imagine that priority is given to the fans that live in said country. Any help is appreciated.

Best XI performances in the history

I asked chatGPT to give me the best performances on champions league history per position? Thoughts?

I think its missing Kaka vs Man United

Here’s a best XI based on individual performances in specific UEFA Champions League matches, where the players posted incredible statistics in their respective positions:

Formation: 4-3-3


Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas (Real Madrid)

Performance: 2018 Semi-final vs. Bayern Munich

  • Saves: 8 saves, many of them crucial and from close range.
  • Clean Sheet: Kept the game tied at 2-2, helping Real Madrid advance to the final.
  • Stat Impact: Navas' shot-stopping ability was the key to Madrid’s ability to overcome a dominant Bayern side.

Right-back: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

Performance: 2019 Semi-final vs. Barcelona

  • Assists: 2 assists, including the famous quick corner for Divock Origi's goal.
  • Key Passes: 5 key passes, with a high involvement in Liverpool’s buildup.
  • Stat Impact: Alexander-Arnold was integral to Liverpool’s miraculous 4-0 comeback against Barcelona, contributing directly to two of the goals.

Center-back: Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)

Performance: 2019 Final vs. Tottenham

  • Clearances: 8 clearances, most of any player in the match.
  • Aerial Duels Won: 100% (6/6 aerial duels won).
  • Tackles: 4 tackles and 1 interception.
  • Stat Impact: Van Dijk’s defensive dominance nullified Tottenham’s attack, earning him Man of the Match honors and securing Liverpool’s 6th UCL title.

Center-back: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)

Performance: 2014 Final vs. Atlético Madrid

  • Goal: 1 (Crucial equalizer in the 93rd minute).
  • Pass Completion: 89%, showing his importance in both defense and starting attacks.
  • Stat Impact: Ramos' header forced extra time, and Madrid went on to win 4-1 in extra time, starting their dominance in Europe.

Left-back: Marcelo (Real Madrid)

Performance: 2018 Final vs. Liverpool

  • Assists: 1 assist for Gareth Bale's first goal.
  • Crosses: 6 accurate crosses (one led to a goal).
  • Dribbles: 4 successful dribbles, breaking down Liverpool's defense.
  • Stat Impact: Marcelo was an attacking force, continuously exploiting space down the left flank and directly assisting in key moments.

Midfielder: Luka Modrić (Real Madrid)

Performance: 2018 Final vs. Liverpool

  • Pass Completion: 93%, dictating the tempo in midfield.
  • Key Passes: 5 key passes, including several to launch counter-attacks.
  • Stat Impact: Modrić controlled the midfield, orchestrating Madrid’s build-up and contributing to the team's counter-attacking play.

Midfielder: Xavi Hernández (Barcelona)

Performance: 2011 Final vs. Manchester United

  • Passes Completed: 148 completed passes (95% accuracy).
  • Touches: 165 touches, the highest in the game.
  • Stat Impact: Xavi was the heartbeat of Barcelona’s midfield, completely controlling the tempo and dictating play in one of the most dominant team performances in a final.

Performance: 2005 Final vs. AC Milan

  • Goal: 1 goal (Crucial header to begin the comeback from 3-0 down).
  • Fouls Won: 6 fouls won, including earning a penalty for the equalizer.
  • Stat Impact: Gerrard’s performance ignited one of the greatest comebacks in football history, inspiring Liverpool’s dramatic turnaround in the 3-3 draw, which they eventually won on penalties.

Right-wing: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Performance: 2017 Final vs. Juventus

  • Goals: 2 goals, becoming the first player to score in three different Champions League finals.
  • Shots on Target: 4 shots, with a 50% conversion rate.
  • Stat Impact: Ronaldo’s finishing was clinical, and he was the focal point of Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory, sealing their 12th Champions League title.

Performance: 2013 Semi-final vs. Real Madrid

  • Goals: 4 goals in a single match.
  • Shots on Target: 7 shots, 4 on target, and all 4 converted.

Left-wing: Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Performance: 2011 Semi-final vs. Real Madrid

  • Goals: 2 goals, including a brilliant solo run for the second goal.
  • Dribbles: 5 successful dribbles, continuously breaking through Madrid's defense.
  • Stat Impact: Messi’s solo effort for his second goal was a career highlight, and his overall performance was vital in securing Barcelona's place in the final, which they later won.

Manager: Pep Guardiola (Barcelona)

  • Performance: 2011 Final vs. Manchester United
  • Team Dominance: Barcelona completed 667 passes (compared to United’s 301), with 68% possession.
  • Stat Impact: Guardiola’s tactics and system were pivotal in what is regarded as one of the greatest team performances in a Champions League final, winning 3-1.

Summary

This lineup represents individual performances where players put up statistically dominant games in some of the most crucial moments in Champions League history. From Ronaldo's goal-scoring feats to Lewandowski's four-goal destruction of Madrid, these performances set records and helped define careers.

UCL newb looking for info on team rankings (+ Europa league)

Full disclosure, I am a very casual soccer/football fan. I live in the US and will occasionally watch some big EPL matches and the occasional UCL match. I was asked by some friends this year to join a Champions League and Europa League fantasy draft (team-centric, not individual players). Here is the format:

12 owners (6 teams each) snake draft 36 teams in Champions 36 teams in Europa Every win - 3 points Every tie- 1 point

Does anyone have some good resources you can recommend with predictions/analysis on how certain teams will do so I don’t go into this draft completely blind?

I think i know how to fix the real madrid squad. I'd like your opinions

There's been a lot of talk about mbappe's positioning recently, with him having a "subpar" performance as a number 9 even in france. Also, the team doesn't seem very balanced as a whole.

Vinicius---------------- mbappe --------------rodrygo----------------

Belligham---------------valverde -----------Tchouameni------------- Mendy--------------------carvajal -------Rudiger-----militao------- ------------- Courtois---------------

That would be my starting lineup with rodrygo as a false 9 and mbappe on the right flank with the occasional switch with vini. Let's not forget that mbappe down the line (left or right) was just monstruous for france and psg, ancelotti shouldn't forcibly play him as a 9.

I think with the crazy speed that we have up front we could go back to a direct attacking / counter attacking of the mourinho years.

We're not really good at pressing, every team lies low behind and we do not have any "registas" that would just give you an otherworldly pass in buildup.

That would perfectly play into madrid's strenghts instead of the awkwardness on the left with the 3 attackers there. I believe that rodrygo as a false 9 would play perfect linkup with the other 2 speedsters, benzema style

What do you think?

Champions league group stage 24/25 if it kept the old format

Group A Man City Atletico Madrid Young Boys Stuttgart

Group B Inter Milan Club Brugge PSV Girona

Group C Bayern Munich Atalanta Feyenoord Brest

Group D RB Leipzig Arsenal Dinamo Zagreb Sparta Prague

Group E Barcelona Leverkusen RB Salzburg Aston Villa

Group F Real Madrid Benfica Celtic Slovan Bratislava

Group G Liverpool Juventus Sporting Monaco

Group H PSG Shakhtar Donetsk AC Milan Sturm Graz

I used the real life draw to make this (for example Man City were drawn out first so instead of using the computer I just put them in group A just like the old format)

Lille got removed because up to 3 french teams could qualify before

Dortmund and Bologna got removed because they qualified because of coefficients

I had to remove one champions path team so I just chose the team with the lowest goal difference in the play Off round Crvena Zvezda

Predictor / Predict Six

Hey, so UEFA changed the game on their website, it's not Predictor anymore, but Predict Six. You can only predict the outcome for 6 games on a matchday, instead of 18. I'm looking for good predictor game websites where I can predict for all the games and have a good scoring system. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Unpopular Opinion: The new anthem is actually better than the previous one

So, don’t get mad at me, but here’s the point!

The arrangement is more organic and majestic than the previous one, but still you can hear the main vibes and goosebumps every time you listen to it.

Tell me what you think about it :)

Manchester City's UEFA Champions League Away Day Miles Covered

After the draw last week, Manchester City will cover the most miles (8,418.8) in round trips across their four away games out of all competing Brits. That's according to https://www.sportscasting.com/uk/news/manchester-city-champions-league-miles-covered/ . Will this 'catch up with them' as the season progresses? Can't see that it will, but just wondered what anyone else thought.

UEFA reduced ticket price caps for visiting fans in UCL, UEL, and UECL. Thoughts?

https://preview.redd.it/vd2unjv3temd1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=177f2eb510ee6ac85d85fe2fdf89fcd69aaf3d81

Starting with the 2024/25 season, the maximum ticket prices for away fans will be €60 in the UEFA Champions League, €40 in the UEFA Europa League and €20 in the UEFA Conference League. This will be further reduced in the 2025/26 season to a maximum price of €50 in the UEFA Champions League, €35 in the UEFA Europa League and still €20 in the UEFA Conference League.

Trying to get tickets for Liverpool vs Madrid ucl in November]

I live in America and i am trying to go to the Liverpool/madrid game but i have no clue where to buy tickets and what are good sites to buy them, this my first time buying tickets. I've kind of done my own research on the tickets, and from what I've seen it's nearly impossible to get legit tickets for the game. The only option looks to be to buy resell tickets. Please if anyone has a better option or something please do let me know. Also they face man city 3 days later at Anfield, that would be another option if I can't go to the ucl one, would prefer the ucl one but any one of the two would work, I just need help getting the tickets.
