UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[kawetsriyanto]

FC Porto defense is really very solid this first half and that was also the formation they use in their first leg with Arsenal but however, L. Trossard has finally found the back of the net in 41 minutes and Arsenal is leading by 1:0 in halftime.

Porto defense still performed well but it doesn't play as solid as in the Leg 1. I think Arsenal knows already how to destroy Porto defense. It is proven that Trossard could score 1 goal in the first half of the match. Arsenal also gets more shoot attempts, which means to have an opportunity for another goal in second half of the match.

Arsenal really need more improvement in the second half because with the pressure Porto players are mounting on them they might equalized this goal if Arsenal is not careful because Porto had More control of the ball in the first half though the ball possession is balanced by 50-50 which means the both teams performed equally in the first half but Arsenal was fortunate to have scored.

I think Arsenal needs to strengthen their attacking by changing Havertz with Gabriel Jesus. I don't see a big contribution of Havertz in the Leg 1 and in the current Leg, Arteta must think to release more effective attackers. I assume Gabriel Jesus is their mainstay striker, he deserves to play. As a pure striker, Jesus also probably has a more accurate shoot. If Arteta doesn't change it, this match may end up with a penalty shootout.

The first half of the Champions League matches for today was interesting, Arsenal and Barcelona won in the first half but the match was very intense and interesting to watch. Both the teams are have equal chance of qualifying right now, as Arsenal has already leveled they goal difference, while Naploi is putting a huge effort to level the score line before the end of the match.
Nevertheless, Arsenal have hope because of their fans and the performance they have displayed in the first half even though Porto was very clinical and have a lot of Champions League experienced players in their squad.

You are right, the tension in both second leg matches was really great even though the two home teams actually had a higher chance of winning. Barcelona and Arsenal both won the first half with a score of 2-1 and 1-0, but Porto and Napoli are not worth underestimating at all. The second half was tight, but neither team scored a goal even though it was 60+ minutes into the game. Waiting to see what will happen, but the home team's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals are better in my opinion.

Even though they were 2-1 behind Barcelona, ​​Napoli was apparently able to dominate the game. They just needed to try more because Barcelona's defense seemed to be losing concentration. Arsenal is certainly better than Porto, but it looks like Porto's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals are very low.

[Franctoshi]

This Barcelona vs. Napoli game is a 50/50 match for both teams,  and despite the Barcelona odd to win, Barcelona current form isn't much ahead of Napoli, Giving Barcelona 1.77 odd to win against Napoli 4.30 is something that worth risking some amount of money though I didn't have time to book this game on time.

As for Arsenal game, I have confidence that Arsenal might win their opponent FC Porto in tonight's game and be able to qualify, despite having lost in the first let game. All they need to get to their destination point is 2-0 win and they are through.

Although previously I also thought that Barcelona would not be easy to beat Napoli, but the reality is that at this time Barcelona has led with a score of 2-0 made in the 15th minute and 17th minute. Maybe, for some bettors and also some viewers may be surprised also with the fast goals that Barcelona managed to make in this first half because yes, I thought this match might be tough but the reality is not. Obviously, with Barcelona scoring these two quick goals, then of course Barcelona can be sure to win and qualify for the quarter-finals. Although indeed, there is still a lot of time in this ongoing match but at least, I don't think Napoli has a promising performance to be able to turn things around especially Napoli playing away.

The goals actually came way faster than expected, this is normal when we expect the match to go in this direction and it goes otherwise, but at least Napoli got a goal in the first half, which still gives them hope of catching up with Barcelona until the end of the game, However we are just some minutes into the second half game and anything can happen and the table might turn around....

And for the Arsenal game it going as expected, I hope they are able to score more 1 goal to seal up the game

Both teams are doing well, and anything may happen against Napoli and Barcelona because of how Napoli is playing in the game. The match could still result in a stalemate, which would force extra time. Because some of Barcelona's players are absent, I know the team will suffer a setback, but I know Xavi will do everything he can to keep the one-goal lead until the end of the match, because it will be very difficult for Barcelona to add more goals in the game, given how well Napoli is playing and how they are fighting for one goal to draw 2-2.  But Xavi is doing well, and Barcelona fans are motivating the players to keep doing well. Let's see what will happen in the 90 minute, if Barcelona will get the opportunity and qualify to quarter-finals of the Champions league or is Napoli will get the chance to qualify. Arsenal will definitely get the opportunity and qualify to next round.

Porto is still trying so hard in making its first goal at emirate stadium right now. The goal from trossard was helping arsenal to take the advantage from porto but it's likely that the defensive line of this club has been also helping the club so match in defending from arsenal. I hope porto will be scoring a goal this time then it will also able to kick arsenal out from the competition. The defensive line has become the only key to prevent porto this time. The club is still trying so hard in making the situation even better than before. Arsenal is always doing counter attack against porto. The pattern from this club is also very hard to understand but i do like how pepe was defending porto.
This legend player is still doing his job quite well despite his age which is old enough. I hope porto to score a goal at the end of game. This will help club a lot in going to the next stage. The aggregate is still remain 1-1 at this time. Arsenal's recent goal disallowed caused by havert'z foul.
pepe is always the best player. This MMA fighter knew how to play the football. It seems like that penalty will happen soon. The draw may still continue and additional time will be given to this match. People shall anticipate if arsenal will lose in this game.

[Raflesia]

There are always people who underestimate Barcelona regardless of their chances, but that doesn't matter as long as Barcelona can do their best. As I said, Barcelona always find it difficult to prevent conceding goals even though they are in good form. Napoli scored a goal and the two ended the first half with the score 2-1.

Napoli improved after they conceded 2-0, they even had a good chance to make it 3-3 on aggregate, but Ter Stegen was lucky to make a good save. I hope the second half will be better where Barcelona can score more goals and strengthen their defense, only that will make it easy for them to get to the quarter-finals.

It is undeniable that Barcelona's condition, which has lost some of its important players, makes this a little difficult and there will definitely be a lot of doubts for Barcelona in the competition but on the other hand Barcelona is a good club and has great experience so they can still maximize it to their advantage.
At the moment Barcelona are winning on aggregate but the game is still going on. As you said Napoli's performance was different after they conceded 2 goals and that made the game more intense because for the second half the tension increased and this is what we are waiting for from the match between 2 big clubs.

Now it's almost the crucial minute where concentration might be slowly lost and in this case I think Napoli will try to attack more because after all every minute is important for them especially when they are behind but Barcelona are still quite good in their possession so this will still be very troublesome for Napoli if they want to force extra time.

It was quite expected if you ask me because the both team winning now are definitely in good shape to win and especially for the case of Barcelona and Napoli. Napoli has been struggling with their performance since from the starting of the season and Barcelona playing from have the home advantage and the explosive start they used in starting the game was perfect and it gave them the early two goals.

Today's match for Arsenal and Porto actually I think it was quite monotonous because seeing from the game that was done it seemed that both clubs seemed more cautious which actually gave a doubt in terms of attack which made opportunities sometimes wasted.

Arsenal are still quite good with a goal ahead and managed to make the aggregate a tie now but that is not enough to make proof that they deserve to go to the quarter-finals because after all, with the aggregate still in a tie coupled with the conditions of the two clubs that still seem monotonous towards the end of the match there should be one club that takes more initiative if indeed they do not want to continue the match to 2x15 minutes unless they are prepared with that because of course the extra time can be troublesome because they have to prepare with greater energy.

The match was almost over and the score was equal. hasn't changed at all. Barcelona would be a little more relieved if the match ended 3-1 with a 3-2 aggregate win for the Blaugrana. Meanwhile Arsenal are still 1-0 and that is not enough for them because on aggregate it is still 1-1 and the possibility of continuing into extra time. Arsenal fans were very worried about this situation and Porto were also not afraid at all even though they were playing at the Emirates stadium.

Barcelona can perform very well in this match if all its players work well together. I saw Raphinha make Lewandowski angry several times by not giving him the ball, things like this are what ultimately make the team's performance very erratic and unstable. A player's loss of confidence is sometimes due to his friends rather than himself, but now the combination of Sergi Roberto and several other players allowed Lewandowski to score.

The score changed, Barcelona had a 3-1 lead now. Lamine Yamal played well and he is one of the best talents in Barcelona this season, but unfortunately he was not able to maximize his opportunities in this match even though he had a big contribution throughout the match.

[MK-74]

It was an easy game for Barcelona, they won without difficulty and played well. They are through to the next round.

Arsenal are now winning 1-0 and if there is no goal it will go to extra time. Most probably Arsenal will win in extra time.

[Rengga Jati]

Today's match for Arsenal and Porto actually I think it was quite monotonous because seeing from the game that was done it seemed that both clubs seemed more cautious which actually gave a doubt in terms of attack which made opportunities sometimes wasted.

Quite worrying to watch how Arsenal game against Porto. For, Porto was leading at the first leg.
Until, Arsenals cored a goal, it's 1 - 1 aggregate.
But, it's still not safe. Arsenal must do much pressing again. Porto is  not an easy team to beat. So, Arsenal must do harder and harder.
Actually, Arsenal was quite convincing, but indeed, Porto also put up quite a tough resistance. In this match, Arsenal also did not make many substitutions. It could be that this is because his worst strategy is taking a penalty kick. But yes, the hope is definitely that Arsenal can score another goal and there's no need for a penalty shootout.


On the other hand, Barcelona, who are currently playing against Napoli, is quite superior. just now they added to their goal.
Current position:
Barcelona vs Napoli
     3                  1

This is even more convincing, Barcelona will qualify for the next round.

[Alpha Marine]

Ita already pas 30 minutes into the game and I see a very balanced game between both teams as they are both effectively forcing the attack and at same time keeping their defense safe enough against any kind of penetration by their opponent, Arsenal is looking for an opportunity to get a counter attack upon which they will capitalize you get the scoreboard balanced but it's not looking like that's what they case will be.

Few minutes of normal time left to play and Arsenal is still leading by just 1-0, which means it's still 1-1 on aggregate. If it ends like this the match will head to extra time.
I'm more interested in the people who thought this was going to be an easy win for Arsenal. How do you people just underestimate Porto that much? These guys won Arsenal in the first leg and somehow people believed they didn't stand a chance in the second leg?
I know Arsenal are favourites but how can their fans believe Porto doesn't stand a chance? Is Arsenal really that good? I don't think Arsenal is so good to the extent of walking over any of the remaining teams. There will be no easy matches at this stage of the Champions League.
It's the Champions League, not the English Premier League.

[JoyMarsha]

Arsenal must use both a defensive and offensive strategy in their match against FC Porto tonight, or they will be defeated by FC Porto once more. I understand Arsenal will play an attacking game because they need to win tonight, but they should also come back to defend everything because if FC Porto takes the lead in this match, Arsenal will have a difficult time achieving victory. FC Porto is known for their strong defensive performance in games, so Arsenal breaking through to score an equaliser will be difficult once FC Porto have taken the lead in this match. I just want to see how tonight's match will turn out to be.

Ita already pas 30 minutes into the game and I see a very balanced game between both teams as they are both effectively forcing the attack and at same time keeping their defense safe enough against any kind of penetration by their opponent, Arsenal is really looking for an opportunity to get a counter attack upon which they will capitalize you get the scoreboard balanced but it's not looking like that's what they case will be.

It was in the second of the match, that Arsenal broke Porto's defense in 41 minutes of play to score a goal in the first half, Since then, they unable to score to change the scoreline to 2-0 in victor of them(2-1 aggregate).

Arsenal vs Porto has but a few minutes to end the match with a 1-1 aggregate. The next thing will be a penalty shootout to determine which team makes makes it to the next round. I predict Arsenal to

There is still no change, Arsenal is leading with 1 goal only. So the aggregate is 1-1 for both teams.
We have another goal in this second half but it is disallowed by the referee. Havertz fouled one of the Porto players. It is very unfortunate, it can be a winning goal if there is no violation.

After a normal time, we will have 2 x 15 minutes as the extra time.
This will be a crucial time, I hope Klopp changes Havertz. He is not playing well today.
Klopp also need to prepare the players if there will be a penalty shootout. I also still hope Arsenal to qualify for the next round.

I don't think Arsenal underestimates Porto, maybe the fans, but the players certainly do not. Seems like to extra time we'll be headed, because after 90' with a 1 all aggregate, a winner has got to emerge tonight. G. Jesus just came on as substitute and am sure in the few minutes he would play, the impact would surely be felt. I just hope he doesn't get sloppy incase he has a chance in front of goal.

Barca on the other hand has delivered on the results of today's match by winning Napoli with goals from Cancelo, Christensen and Lewandowsky. It's just too bad Osimhen couldn't score to help his side secure a win.

Barcelona - Napoli 3-1

A great victory for Barcelona, they played totally attacking throughout the match. From the statistics I see a very good figure, 24 shots taken and 10 shots on goal. Really a good match to watch, a pity for Napoli, in the first leg they had shown that they could get the qualification, but at Camp Nou it is difficult to come out victorious

Arsenal were forced to go to extra time to seal a ticket to the next round. It was not easy for the Gunners to achieve victory even though they previously received the top title. It is not easy to beat Porto because they are one of the experienced teams in this tournament. It will be interesting for us to wait for the remaining minutes that will pass.

Meanwhile, Barcelona has been able to seal a ticket to the next round. Lewandowski was able to achieve a convincing victory over Napoli so that they were able to win 4-2 on aggregate. Congratulations to Barca, they were able to prove their capacity in the UCL.

[bitzizzix]

This is an interesting match throughout the Champions League this season, the score is still 1-1 with the same aggregate and currently the players are taking a short break to continue extra time.
And in Arsenal's match against Porto, there was a lot of drama throughout the 90 minutes of the match, and two team coaches received yellow cards. Porto are a good team and not an easy opponent for Arsenal, but Arsenal worked hard, and it looked like in extra time, they would score.
By the way, Leandro Trossard and referee Clement Turpin are like brothers because their faces are similar.

Really a good match to watch, a pity for Napoli, in the first leg they had shown that they could get the qualification, but at Camp Nou it is difficult to come out victorious

Getting a draw from Away was the first soon I had that Barcelona has a higher advantage to qualify for the round of 8. They demonstrated dominance of the game from the first half. Napoli tried their possible best, but Barcelona meant business of eliminating them.

Arsenal won the match by a goal from Trossard, but it only brought them back on level terms with Porto. They're currently playing extra time. We wait for  120 mins to conclude.
