2025-26 UEFA Champions League: Week 1 Recap

800 sats \ 25 comments \ @Carresan 19 Sep Stacker_Sports

Week 1 finished last night. Barça, thanks to Rashford who scored twice, won at Newcastle 1-2. Man City beat Napoli 2-0, though the Italians played with 10 players for 70 minutes after Di Lorenzo was sent off at 21 minutes. Surprisingly, Bayer Leverkusen could only get a draw in their visit to Copenhagen. Club Brugge, Eintrach Frankfurt and Sporting Lisbon beat clearly their opponents last night.

Pool results

@fred and @brave added 19 points and are at the top of the table. They are followed closely by @joyfam, @Undisciplined and @suraz. I am really happy that there up to 14 stackers participating this year.

As it is Week 1, on aggregate, the results are the same.

Prize

Currently, there are 14278 sats in the pot. Please consider that I will apply a 30% deduction, due to fees, on 4278 sats. The remaining 10000 sats will not have deduction.

Week 2

Matches will be played on September 30th and October 1st. I will post a few days earlier to open submissions.

Stay tuned!

I knew one of these would finish in a draw but got the wrong one. Next round.

I did miss it too. I thought it could be more likely in the Bayern vs Chelsea. A 4-4 draw is really unusual!

15 sats \ 12 replies \ @grayruby 19 Sep

Yes 4-4 is a high scoring match on both sides.

By the way, I was considering to run a "pick 'em" bounty (just 1000 sats to begin) linked to the Europa League, which is tier 2 competition in European Football. My team, Real Betis, plays this contest this year. It would be similar to your pick 'em. Stackers should provide matches outcome (either team A or B wins or draw) and a tiebreaker.

Format in Europa League is similar to Champions league, with a group phase, where teams play 8 matches, followed by knockout stage that will lead to the final in May.

Europa League matches are on Thursdays (apart from the next week that will be on Wednesday and Thursday) so that it will not concur with yours. Let me know your thoughts and if you would be happy that I go ahead with it.

I knew it! It's one of the hard ones along with Aston Villa, Roma and Lille

FC Porto’s killing it this year with the new Italian coach. No way that list’s right! 🤠

Yeah, I agree. This sort of things may look ok in paper though in reality it's a lot different. Anyway, we may agree that Aston Villa is definitely one of the main favorites. I would include within a short distance Lille, Porto and Feyenoord. Real Betis should be in quarter finals and then, it will depend on injuries, fitness and so on.
