Slavia entered the group stage without the status of a favorite. The Czech club is inferior to many opponents in squad depth, but compensates with discipline and character. Head coach Jindřich Trpišovský emphasizes compactness and fast transitions. In the opener, Slavia hosted Bodø/Glimt but let the win slip away in the final seconds, 2–2. In the second match, the Czechs lost 3–0 to Inter. However, in the next game in Bergamo, they secured a scoreless draw against Atalanta. In the Czech league, Slavia is the main contender for the title. Trpišovský’s team leads the standings with 33 points, ahead of Sparta. Athletic started the season with ambitions of finishing in LaLiga’s top four and returning to the Champions League. Ernesto Valverde’s squad is capable of meeting those goals, but the start has been mixed. After a series of wins, the Basques fell into a prolonged slump marked by a loss of confidence. Currently, Athletic sits seventh in the table. Their Champions League campaign is also complicated: in the latest match, they lost 2–0 to Newcastle. The team still has a chance to turn things around, staying true to its principles — relying on academy products and maintaining a tough, physical style.
