Champions League
Mazzarri: Real Madrid, as I thought, given the 2:2 draw
Italian Napoli lost to Real Madrid in the away match of the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League.
Head coach of “Partenopeia” Walter Mazzarri commented on the performance of the powerful team after the match.
“Carlo Ancelotti is my good friend and a very good coach. But when my team gives up, my mind becomes foggy after the final whistle and I can’t even remember what he said to me.”
I think our team performed very well, and if the result was 2:2 and we had made two or three counter-attacks, I think we could have won. At that moment they didn’t risk us anything, and it looked like Real saw each other.
After conceding the third goal, we had the opportunity to run forward and go straight, which lifted the team out of the water. Nothing changes if you play 3:2 and 4:2. I have identified for myself the team’s actions, which we have already discussed with the team, but overall it was a good match.
Osimgen? After spending 20 to 25 weeks on the pitch at Atalanta this weekend, we couldn’t risk a relapse. Vin turns around step by step.
We were tired, because there was a lot of fun in the season. I don’t want to get lost in the hassle of preparation and I don’t dare judge the work of those who were here before me, so I just have to focus on what has happened from the moment I arrived.
I’m glad the boys showed fighting spirit and we managed to bring the team to a strong finish, overcoming the wrath of the superniks the night before.
When you play at such a level it is always important. Tactfully, the singers began to change, trying to protect themselves from the body, pressing the body and trying to play the yakomag ball faster, creating small clouds of water.
However, football is deprived of this, when you are stuck with a champion who can circle a digger and pass in open space,” said the Italian coach.
In the last match of the match, Neapolitan Napoli plays at home against Portuguese Braga.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.

Pedri commented on the new format of the Champions League: An unexpected look from a football player
Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.
“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”
If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.
Before the 2024/2025 season, the group stage of the Champions League consisted of eight groups of four clubs each. All participants played six matches in their respective foursomes, home and away, against each of the three opponents.
From the 2024/2025 season, a new Champions League format comes into force with a common group stage of 36 clubs; each participant plays eight matches, four away and four at home; The opponents are determined by lot.”

Earlier, English Manchester City played a match against French Monaco in a new round of the UEFA Champions League.
After the match, the head coach of the “Locals” Pep Guardiola commented on the performance of the powerful team.
“In football you can always perform better – and this is the result. Our game today was very good in many ways. And step by step we will improve our results.”
Ale mi gave many speeches today in the right way. We created many scoring opportunities and found Phil Foden active in the first half. Most Gravians played at a fairly high level.
Previously, they did not let their opponents create anything, but created the chances themselves. We adapted very well to the superniks and played very well. This is my opinion.
If you get a good match on the right side, of course you have to… Today we got a great ball, that’s all I can tell you right away.
Holland? It’s really good. He plays to score goals. He struggled with three centre-backs and two supporting defenders in front of him, and it wasn’t easy for his partners to know that. Ale, we can work hard to score goals.
Tse bula spravdi garna gra. We created a lot of chances, but unfortunately in the end we didn’t defend perfectly against a free kick, which would have been quite a few, and we conceded a penalty, which was awarded when the ball hit the first one… well, that’s it.
Referee? “I have nothing to say to the Spanish referees,” said the Spanish footballer.
In the coming round, English Manchester City will visit Spanish Villarreal.
