UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[AYOBA]

Yes, that's impressive even though it's a bit annoying for me, it should have been Real Madrid 2 - 3 Manchester City until the end of the match, currently the score is Real Madrid 3 - 3 Manchester City, still a comfort zone for my -0.5 handicap bet after the first half, Hopefully Real Madrid doesn't add to their goals or hopefully Manchester City wins this match so my bet is safe as well as my answer on BSFL .

BTW, Arsenal are also great with their goals, but they have to win this match to maintain their mentality when they visit Allianz in the second leg.

Really impressive.
These two matches at the start of the UCL really produced very impressive matches. And they even have very tight competition. The result was the same, all draws. This proves that in this first leg, they really looked good together to meet and compete. In fact, it was so harmonious, it was like a final, especially for Real Madrid and Man City. However, with the 3-3 result between Real Madrid and Man City, it is really quite satisfying

The two matches was was very interesting match tonight and also tough match, because they didn't gree for each other both of them really mean the match to win. Expecially the match between the real Madrid and Manchester city was wonderful funny game due how both of the teams was reach other back to back, but real Madrid make a big mistake if not they could win the match the time that they was leading Manchester city by 2 -1 they refuse to hold their consistent that's why Manchester city use the advantage and equalized Back. I didn't expect that the match will definitely end up in draw but Manchester city put much effort and lead the game to draw.

The match was very entertaining, we rarely saw many goals in the quarter final of UCL. Today, we have 6 goals, this deserves to be the final match. Unfortunately, the match Real Madrid vs Man City must happen in the quarter final. However, I think it is no problem, which team to win the Leg 2 probably has the highest chance to be in the final round. I think there are no other teams that have very balanced teams in each line like Real Madrid and Man City.

In today match, Man City more dominated the ball possession but Real Madrid could play more effective because they succeed to make more shot attempts. I think for the Leg 2, it will be the same as the match today. Man City probably dominated the ball possessions and Real Madrid will play more effectively again. However, I really hope Ancolotti to change a bit the formation and tactics. I assume the will be better to use the formation 4-2-2-2. They used this formation when they defeated Athletic Club few days ago.

I am disappointed with the results of this match because Real Madrid still failed to improve their meeting record with Manchester City. Real Madrid only won 1 match against Manchester City in the last 6 matches, while they only had 2 draws (including this one) and the rest were won by Manchester City.

In my opinion, Real Madrid is in danger of not qualifying for the semifinals this season after ending the match 3-3 today at the Bernabeu. Manchester City have a good home record against Real Madrid in the Champions League, so I think Real Madrid's chances of making the semifinals are getting lower. But personally I hope Real Madrid can win in the second leg, especially because Manchester City seemed to have weaknesses in their defense in today's first leg.

[Obim34]

We watched two excellent matches. In fact, I didn't expect so many goals, I thought the teams would play more controlled, but the individual performances of the players were at the highest level and they scored excellent goals. The Champions League is really the pinnacle, and these teams are the best in the world. They proved it again. It's not a coincidence for any of them to be here. They are here because they are the best teams with the best players. I can't wait for the rematches, they are incredible matches. It's completely uncertain who will advance.

I was striked with their very performances, both matches where very much interesting with fascinating goals that is just unbelievable. Arsenal played really good but my intentions was for them to win tonights game very sad how they nearly lost it till Trossard came in to equalize. I think comparing both matches, City VS Madrid was the most interesting, really best of the best competing and compulsory how one must drop for the other to move on, the match was the toughest as both teams scored brilliant goals. It seems I'm the only one here bothered why Debruyne wasn't featured in the match.

[Dailyscript]

Bayern Munich and Arsenal had an even match and Real Madrid vs Manchester United had an even match, both matches were pretty equal and both matches met with equal opponents in leg 1, leg 2 was the decider for the 4 teams that had just competed, surprisingly enough Real Madrid vs Manchester City with a final score of 3-3 and Bayern Munich 2-2, what an interesting match and I think a lot of bettors lost money in leg 1, fortunately I didn't bet tonight hahaha so I didn't lose money. But if you look at the statistics the possibility of winning the next time away is a little bit visible because it looks like there are gaps in the wooden slats that are seen from each other.

This night's game is by far the most active round of the champions league and I haven't enjoyed any piece of soccer like the way I did tonight. The atmosphere of the game is something else and I goals the both teams keep scoring is just mouth watering to watch especially for the Real Madrid and Manchester city game. The match now will be decided at the Etihad stadium which will definitely be in favor of Manchester city but lets not write out the powers of Real Madrid as the most decorated team in the champions league.

Oh my God, i though i was the only one who felt this way. The actions from both team were thrilling and i am so proud of all the teams. Let me start from Arsenal and Bayern Munich i could remember that i predicted the game to be draw but a 1:1 draw. Surprisingly Bayern Munich were taking the lead, then i felt it was over but Arsenal came back. It was an interesting game to watch, so glad that i did not miss any mention. However so many persons were expecting Bayern Munich  to win the game. Yet, let us done forget the last minute of Arsenal plays, if Saka was successful to get the penalty it would have been a win for Arsenal. Quite unlucky for Arsenal.

In tough matches like the ones being played today, it's hard for bettors to go for a bet because it's hard to make correct predictions of which team to win. What most gamblers do is avoid betting on such games because of how formidable both teams can be in their Frontline and backline, making a correct prediction on, which team to win will be difficult. However, in my opinion, your assumption of gamblers losing money to Arsenal vs Bayern, and Real Madrid vs Manchester City will not be as big as expected of you.

As the first leg of both matches ended in a draw match, what we will be waiting for is the second leg of the match, that's when we decide who made it to the next round.

Till then, we can begin to predict which team to win in their return leg. I think that's where everyone focus will be.

The matches played tonight in the champions league were a very great one and none of the teams that participated in today’s match allowed their opponents to beat them. This was an indeed a six goal match thriller and I was expecting to see more goals which was not possible again before the end of the match. We still have a very tough match to be played at the Etihad Stadium but I still feel the location of the match will not decide who will win and qualify for the next round.

However, the two goals scored by Arsenal players were quite unique, as well as Arsenal being superior based on ball possession, opportunities and superior tactically. In the next match, Arsenal played at the Allianz Arena. Actually, I don't have any idea regarding the second leg match.

I am very impressed with the way Arsenal played today even though they made some blunders rage caused them to concede in the match. Finishing the match in a tie breath note hopes for Arsenal at Allianz Arena when they’ll be playing the second leg match of this round. Arsenal really did well and many that thought that Arsenal will be a simple team for Bayern Munich to pass through can now see how the game is going. We await to see how the second leg will turn out to be but Arsenal really played a good game tonight.

Paris Saint Germain will first host Barcelona in the quarter-final first leg, but before they meet, it is very unfortunate that Paris Saint Germain had to be held to a draw by the club which is at the bottom of the standings. Even though they played without some of their main players, it was still a bad result for a club like Parisian club Germain.

It is very likely that Paris Siant Germain will try to take advantage of their status as hosts, they will definitely try hard to win this match to make their work easier in the second leg. However, this is not an easy task for them, because Barcelona cannot be underestimated. Even though Barcelona is widely considered to be in decline, they are still a dangerous club and they also show that when they are in 2nd place in La Liga now.

Paris Saint Germain is a club that targets every season to win their first Champions League trophy, but until now they have always failed, will they fail again this season? Let's wait and see.

PSG's draw in Ligue 1 is unimportant, it does not affect anything, and as you said, it was not the main squad that played, that says it all.

Everyone knows that PSG want to win the Champions League, but this year PSG is acting very modestly without much publicity, about how important it is for them to win their first Champions League. Messi and Neymar left the team, without them no one hoped, that this would be possible. First rhem need to beat Barcelona, it seems to me that this is possible.

While we're getting closer to the game between PSG and Barcelona there are more news and articles about this match. For PSG this match is very important because they are aiming or finally achieve something in the Champions League with their new coach Enrique and with the better teamwork they have during this season but the game against Barcelona will not be easy for any team.
Barcelona had bad performances before and Xavi was even close to getting fired from this team, but they improved a lot after the game they had against Napoli now Barcelona has the hope to eat PSG.
Even on Twitter, Barcelona published a post about the game they had back in 2017. Barcelona lost the first leg with a 4-0 result but they won the second leg with a 6-1 result against PSG.

[MK-74]

We watched games with lots of goals this evening. Two games ended in a draw.
It was very good for Arsenal that they were unbeaten, they still have a chance and they should make good use of this chance.

Real Madrid will go to England next week, a difficult game awaits them.
It is very difficult to say for sure in these games because the teams here are really strong.

[Oluwa-btc]

Two tough, energy sapping games for Arsenal and Man City. Hopefully the intensity starts to mean they drop poijts in the PL, would really help Liverpool out 😇.

Maybe Arsenal aren’t so impregnable after all, Bayern made their defence look a lot more ordinary than most PL teams have done for a while.

Some cracking goals in the other game in Spain, wow.

Till the next game, Gunner's would still be fuming over that penalty that wasn't awarded lol, they should do better score a good goal. They've just been too loud for the past weeks.

Why would you really pray for the downfall of another? This is good reasons why your Liverpool won't be winning the Premier League Competition. Focus on your thing and pray your hardwork and smart work turns out positive and victorious for your club. Lol!

Gunner's do not have the character when it comes to European Competitions not even in the Champions League Competition, against Bayern Munich? They must be raving mad! Allianz Arena it is then!! 🔥

Carlo Ancellotti and his wrong decisions tonight, not there but I could see his flaws. Thanks to Valverde for that fabulous finish, fantastic pass from Vinicius Junior in between.

[Josefjix]

Arteta started everything with a wrong style, I expected Trossard starting this match but all my expectations went wrong, the little time Gabriel j and Trossard entered the match I felt a huge impact like a live in the match. Saka had all the chance saving the team but just alittle mistake ruined everything, I also expected a penalty but I don't get cause everything looked complicated. Arteta should be smart when it comes to key starters. Even with Trossard goal Bayern have  higher chance defeating Arsenal at Allianz, the only hope here for Arsenal they have good record when it comes to an away match. I really enjoyed today match especially the Manchester city vs Real Madrid match, tough draw from both teams including the Arsenal vs Bayern.

I'm upset with the performance of Arsenal against Bayern Munich at Emirate stadium. This was particularly and specially the winning game for Gunners but they ruined their chances and they have to compete with the Bavarians at Allianz Arena. We know how difficult and challenging it could be for Arsenal to face the fierce upcoming performance because Bayern Munich are not here for jokes, they always mean business whenever it involves UCL matches. Thomas Tuchel will fight with everything within his reach to get settled excellent scores against the English side.

We saw how balanced the matches were tonight. Both matches ended in a draw. The teams really pushed each other hard. Everything started very quickly in the Manchester City - Real Madrid match. We had to get directly into the match. In the first minute, City surprised Real Madrid with Bernardo Silva's goal from a free kick. Not long after, Real Madrid responded, a minute later, City.

I have never seen a match like this. The tension was always high, the answers were very fast.

The two matches played today was a interesting one, I knew the match was going to be a tough one, but I never expected the two matches to end as a draw, I expected Arsenal to win their match, but unfortunately they couldn’t win, the match ended as draw. And I couldn’t predict who is going to win Manchester City match, i predicted a win by any of the team, but they also played draw in the match. I guess the second leg of the match is going to be more interesting than this first leg, Real Madrid should be really prepared because they will be going to Etihad which is not really going to be a easy one for Real Madrid.

[Agbamoni]

Who would ever though that the four UCL teams that played today would draw in the game. I was waiting to see that Real Madrid won Manchester City and Arsenal won Bayern Munich this was what i was expecting. I want both teams i mentioned to win to compete in the final round.

Also, there was something i noticed in the game between Bayern and Arsenal. I noticed where Raya gave the ball to Gabriel to pass, and he mistakenly held it with his hand to play a goal kick. Th ref said its not a penalty because it's a UCL QF, then i then think that's why he didn't give Arsenal the last penalty in the dying minute so that the score would be even.

Bayern Munich undeformed if we're being honest because they're the better team and better than arsenal therefore they should have won this game. I think though that the advantages that arsenal had was because they were playing at home. Arsenal dominated every angle of the game and deserved to win but unfortunately they got robbed. Bayern Munich have to do better than they played when the return leg comes because if they still decide to play the way they played, they'll be getting knocked out of the competition. The matches today was entertaining to watch. We had a total of 10 goals, 6 in the match between Manchester city and Real Madrid and 4 goals in the match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. I didn't expect this much goals and I was surprised but also entertained.

I know you would be happy seeing both clubs taking it down to the wire so that they could be stretched out and they could easily lose pace in the race but you have forgotten that the Europa League awaits you too. And you are probably the one without much of a break in terms of games to be played.

The games today were definitely excellent, end to end stuff, teams matching each other tenacity. This two games were fitting to be a stage higher than this, something like a semi final. Manchester city were there selves today as for Arsenal they lacked a little composure and players like Saka and Saliba should have done more.

Hey LFC_Bitcoin I am sure you say the penalty waved away against Neur today, what now did you Make of that dubious penalty you got in the weekend

I understand your point but one thing you have to understand is that Bayern Munich is literally a team that always wins Arsenal be it home or away and regardless of the fact that Arsenal are in form now doesn't mean that they shouldn't respect Bayern as their superior because the past always come to their mind but however, Bayern would have maintained the lead till the final whistle but yet they were so careless and Arsenal had to equalize and the match ended in a draw.

I know Arsenal winning at Emirate stadium would have reduced the tension in the second leg at Bayern Munich home ground Allianz Arena but however, Arsenal tried to equalize the goal rather than losing. It would have been bad had it been Arsenal lost at Emirate stadium.

There's is no doubt that Thomas Tuchel will fight hard to win Arsenal and advance to the next stages but a lot of things are expected from the both teams because Arsenal is up to something this Champions league season and only very few person can see the dimension Arsenal is trying to reach.

[snipie]

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Manchester City since the first two minutes of the game!
It is very early to judge this but we all know that Real Madrid is the king of comeback so Manchester City has to score as many goals as they can.

Arsenal 0 - 0 Bayern Munich for the moment.
Bayern Munich whether they win big whether they lose points. I find them weaker than what they used to be in the past while gunners are doing better in their league. We will see which one will win the game in the end.

Honestly I was surprised seeing people predicting that Real Madrid will beat Manchester City with a very good goal margin. I began to understand why people lose in betting. Anyone who understands football will not at any time on direct a team like Manchester City. I did not mean that Real Madrid is not estable team but I think Manchester City is more stable and consistent than Real Madrid of today. From the beginning of the season when vinicius was not around it was Jude Bellingham that was moving the club ahead. It seems like Real Madrid glory lies in the hands of few individual players. But this cannot be said of Manchester City because anyone could do the job for them. I believe that Real Madrid cannot overturn this match in as much as Manchester City remains consistent. Meanwhile, Guardiola is yet to introduce Kevin in the midfield. This means that there is another heavyweight sitting on the bench. In the other hand Real Madrid top  players are booked. This will make it difficult for them to succeed in the second leg of this meeting if the eventually escaped today. It is an interesting match to watch.
Edit: Score line changed Real 2:1 City

Any match in Champions League containing Real Madrid on it, is unpredictable!
Betting in the middle of the game will not increase the chances of bettors to win. Despite of being behind, Real Madrid players are always able to score several goals in short amount of time.
In today's game, they were able to comeback once and secure the draw in their home. Next game will be harder for sure.
Otherwise, the other game between gunners and Bayern Munich ended with a draw although Bayern Munich comeback.

[nelson4lov]

I had thought today's UCL games will be low scoring and really tight but these teams knew better. I was completely blown away especially in the first half. Comebacks after comebacks. That right there was the classic UCL experience that I have come to love over the years. My thoughts:

Arsenal ending square will Bayern puts them in a very difficult position, I won't be surprised if they're shown the door next week.

Madrid? Should've closed the game. City will be very difficult to play at the Etihad and it brings back memories of City vs Real Madrid clashes in recent years in the UCL, City to qualify.

I might be wrong but these look like the most likely outcomes.

[arallmuus]

Gunner's do not have the character when it comes to European Competitions not even in the Champions League Competition, against Bayern Munich? They must be raving mad! Allianz Arena it is then!! 🔥

For some reason I think Arsenal was abit better than Bayern Munich so the 2nd leg is going to be pretty interesting for sure. Kinda hoping that would be Arsenal and its about time for Arteta to shine in UCL. Personally I dont like them in EPL but in UCL Im expecting that both City and Arsenal would get through to atleast top 4

Anyway, that last appeal from Saka should have been penalty and there wasnt any VAR on that as well for some reason

[Gencecikmen]

Arsenal salvaged a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. A draw is probably a fair result on the balance of things. Neither team can say they definitively deserved to come away from this game with a win. Mikel Arteta’s side will head to Munich next week. I think the best Arsenal side in decades couldn't beat worst Bayern Munich side in decades. Also for the first time since January Arsenal were behind in a home game first of half.
