Today, September 10, the third game day of the first round of the UEFA Champions League-2026/27 will be held. We suggest you follow all the events of the tournament with media so you don't miss anything.
Thursday, September 10, 7:45 p.m. Chobani Stadium Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu (Istanbul). The main referee is Gil Manzano. Live broadcast on MEGOGO
For the Turkish club, reaching the main stage was a particularly important event after unsuccessful attempts to qualify in previous years. Fenerbahce overcame Gurnik from Zabrze and Sturm in the second and third qualifying rounds, and Lyon advanced to the playoffs.
At the same time, the start of the season in the Turkish championship for Ismail Kartal's team turned out to be difficult. Fenerbahçe lost in the first round of the Gençlerbirliga, after which they won two in a row, but lost at home to Beşiktaş on Saturday.
Roma approaches the meeting in a much better mood. The Romans finished third in Serie A last season, ahead of AC Milan and Juventus. Gian Piero Gasperini's side finished the league with five consecutive victories, scoring at least two goals in each of those matches.
Roma also started the new season without losses. In the three starting rounds, the team won three and scored 10 goals. One of the main heroes of the beginning of the season was Donyell Malen, who already scored five goals.
Personnel situation
Fenerbahce will not be able to count on Matteo Genduzi, who is serving a suspension after a fight that occurred after the match against Lyon. Jayden Oosterwolde, who underwent surgery for a hamstring injury, is also out.
The participation of Marco Asensio, who has a thigh injury, is in doubt. Talisca, who was the team's top scorer in the Champions League qualifiers, left the club to join Al Jazira.
Roma's personnel situation is much better. The only confirmed loss remains Lorenzo Pellegrini, who continues his recovery from a thigh injury.
Estimated compositions
Fenerbahce: Ederson - Muldur, Skriniar, Ake, Brown - Kante, Yuksek - Aydin, Akturkoglu, Greenwood - Muriki.
Roma: Svylar - Mancini, Ndika, Hermoso - Molina, Cristante, Kone, Vesli - Dybala, Mora - Malen.
Fenerbahçe has traditionally performed strongly at home in the European Cups: in the last 32 home matches of the European Cups, the team has lost only five times, winning 20 times. At the same time, the Turks lost to Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest last season, and Lyon managed to draw in this year's qualifying play-offs.
Roma are in good form and have enough attacking assets to cause serious problems for the hosts. At the same time, the home field factor can help Fenerbahce avoid defeat.
forecast 2:2
Thursday, September 10, 10:00 p.m. Allianz Arena (Munich). The main referee is Rade Obrenovich. Live broadcast on MEGOGO
Vincent Kompany's side reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and are now looking to go far in the tournament again. Bayern started the new season with three consecutive victories, including defeating Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup. However, Munich dropped points last weekend, drawing 0-0 with Schalke.
Despite this misfire, Bayern's performance statistics at the start of the Champions League remain impressive. The Munich club have won their first match of the tournament in each of the previous 22 seasons. In addition, in 2026, the team lost only once at home, with 15 wins and two draws.
Bude/Glimt made it to the main stage through qualification. The Norwegians first beat Union Saint-Gilloise 6:5 on aggregate and then defeated NEC Nijmegen 6:1 on aggregate.
For Kjetil Knutsen's team, this is the second consecutive appearance in the main stage of the Champions League. Bude-Glimt was one of the revelations of the tournament last season, reaching the 1/8 finals and beating Inter in the play-off head-to-head.
The Norwegian club this time approaches the meeting in excellent form. The 2-1 victory over Fredrikstad was Bude-Glimt's seventh in a row. In total, the team has not lost 20 matches.
Personnel situation
Serge Gnabry will not help Bayern again. Vincent Kompany expects the striker to return to the squad next week.
Jamal Musiala is expected to play in the under-striker position, with Michael Oliseh and Luis Diaz operating on the attacking flanks. Harry Kane will take the center of attack.
Defender Tarek Buchmann also continues his recovery from ankle surgery. Kim Min Jae and Dayo Upamecano are likely to play in the center of defense.
Jostein Gundersen will not play in Bude/Glimt due to an injury to the back of his thigh. Haitham Alesami's participation is also in question because of the
