Slovan Bratislava Champions League campaign

Overview

ŠK Slovan Bratislava’s UEFA Champions League campaign continued with a 3-0 defeat against VfB Stuttgart on October 14, 2026. Following a heavy 6-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in their opening fixture, the defeat leaves the club, managed by former Manchester City star Yaya Touré, struggling in the league phase table.

Stuttgart, managed by Sebastian Hoeneß, secured their second consecutive victory at Tehelné pole, maintaining a perfect start to the competition with six points from two games. Team captain Deniz Undav ended an eight-game goal drought by scoring in the 29th minute following an assist from Angelo Stiller, describing the goal as “befreiend” (liberating).

A subsequent attempt by Slovan Bratislava to equalize in the second half, involving Suleiman Camara, was disallowed by VAR for offside. The scoreline was extended in the 65th minute by an own goal from Sandro Cruz, followed by a strike from Ermedin Demirović in the 90th minute.

The match took place amid ongoing logistical and financial concerns for the host club and the Slovak Football Association (SFZ), which has been navigating a budget deficit exceeding four million euros. Additionally, security remained a priority due to the match being classified as a high-risk event, requiring strict identity checks for supporters.
