UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Richbased]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Hyphen(-)]

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.

That is why it is called the Champions League. The  competition is very interesting to watch and very difficult to predict. It is always entertaining to both fans and football lovers. These two matches was perfectly played well, it also shows that the teams that played are actually among the favorites to win the trophy.

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.

The first Penalty incident was as a result of proper positioning of the defenders, when Saliva was trying to save the ball, he mistakenly hit Sane and he goes down and it was awarded.
Arsenal actually deserved the last minute penalty, but I think the referee was avoiding controversial moments at the end of the match. The second leg will be the match that will determine who to qualify, because I don’t think we (Arsenal )will lose to Bayern in the second leg

[karabiber]

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.

Manchester City got the result they wanted on the road in this match. Haaland's performance was bad. The game lacked pace in general but the goals took the game to another level. Modric should definitely play in the starting eleven in the second leg. Because Modric kept the ball in Real Madrid's possession after he came on in this game, he carried the ball well before the goal and Vinicius Jr assisted Valverde skillfully.

Modric's vision of the game is tremendous. Real Madrid were very closed in defense and closed the penalty area well, but the goals they conceded from outside the penalty area show that their defense needs to be questioned. Surprise goals changed the fate of the game and I think Manchester City are the favorites to go through in the second leg.

Generally, people overestimate how good Arsenal are. Don't get me wrong, they're a good team, they play very compact and press well, but they lack the experience that the other top teams currently in the champions league have. I found it amusing when people said Arsenal would trash Bayern Munich. These judgment were mainly because of Bayern current league form. We've been watching football long enough to understand these things. The champions league is a different ball game. It's a knock out game. You could play very well over two legs and a penalty or red card would ruin it for you and you're done, you've been knocked out. A lot of experience is required to succeed in the UCL.
If Saka had any experience, he'll make sure that ball ends up at the back of the net instead of looking for a penalty.

The way I see it, Arsenal would get knocked out in the second leg. They still have a chance but I don't think they'll be able to win in Germany. It's probably for the best if they just focus on winning their 7 remaining matches in the league. It would be an interesting game this, even more interesting to than the first leg, but Bayern Munich would win.

It seems that Tuchel has made the best analysis since he knows Arsenal better than the Premier League. Thanks to his analysis, they disrupted Arsenal's style of play early on, but Arsenal was better in the second half and scored the equalizer. They were lucky not to be defeated, but a German hell awaits them in the rematch. Great opportunity for Bayern.

Manchester City got the result they wanted on the road in this match. Haaland's performance was bad. The game lacked pace in general but the goals took the game to another level.

Surprise goals changed the fate of the game and I think Manchester City are the favorites to go through in the second leg.

Haaland performed poorly because he was closely guarded by the Real Madrid defender, so just look at the goals scored by Man City which came from outside the penalty box. However, it must be admitted that Man City as usual played very well even though Real Madrid had more rest time than Man City, plus Man City did not play their key players (KDB and Kyle Walker), Real Madrid also played at home with great support from supporters. outstanding. but Real Madrid couldn't take advantage of it all, of course this was a very disappointing result for Real Madrid.

The reason is that in the second leg Man City was superior because they maximized Cityzens. Indeed, anything can still happen, but if you look at the mentality, Man City currently has a 100% European mentality. So don't underestimate Man City even though they only have 1 UCL. This draw makes me doubt that Real Madrid will advance to the semifinals. If you look at last season's meeting at the Etihad, this was a nightmare for Real Madrid.

Does anyone feel as confused right now as I do regarding which match to watch first between the Arsenal vs Bayern match and the Madrid vs Man City match? 
Both matches will start at the same time. And actually I don't want to miss watching both of them. But I had to leave one of them out.

Because maybe the Madrid vs Man City match will be the most interesting, maybe I should decide to watch this one. Although I actually want to see Harry Kane who is now defending Bayern.

You need this https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=g9XGl7XzesI

Personally I would watch Arsenal vs Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich is really underrated, whereas the quality of both of teams are similar. I probably watch till either of them is leading 2 goals, then I will switch to watch Real Madrid vs Manchester City because leading 2 goals is already hard to comeback, so I assume the team is already win.

No reason to call that bayern's quality was underrated compared to the arsenal. Varsenal cannot thrash Bayern at home, which is a disaster for Arsenal. Welcome to the allianz arsenal!  I'm sorry, but king Bayern is ready to kick Varsenal out from UCL. Unable to beat its opponent at home will probably put bigger pressure for varsenal at the second leg.
I'm sure that, if there is no doubt, this is caused by seeing how Bayern has shown its quality. The king of North London scored again against Arsenal. He has become a nightmare for Arsenal. This is what people called that Arsenal, which was in its prime.

It shows how bad the quality of the arsenal is. Bayern was still underperforming, but Arsenal was unable to beat it. I can't imagine how Arsenal will prevent it once Bayern is on fire in the second leg.

I'm not sure Arsenal is not out of this cup. They had lose their chances as they played draw with Bayern Munich at home today. Bayern present form is bad expecially when playing from away so I expect a win from arsenal in this match. The second leg at Bayern's home will be a very strong challenge for arsenal as it will be a bit difficult for them to win. Although nothing is impossible, so let's wait and see the miracle Arsenal can perform at Bayern's home.

Of course, many were disappointed with the draw that Arsenal got in the first leg because Arsenal played at home but they failed to win. On the one hand, the fans also think that Arsenal can avoid defeat because Bayern munich was able to play well at Arsenal home ground which made today match end with a score of 2-2. Of course, if you look at Bayern Munich recent performance, they are less stable in the domestic league, but they were able to focus their strength on the Champions League where they managed to put pressure on Arsenal in today match.

The second leg will certainly make it a little difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. However, all that could change because this season Arsenal has big ambitions in the Champions League. These two teams will play life and death in the second leg because both teams still have the same chance of qualifying for the next round.

The second leg will certainly make it a little difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. However, all that could change because this season Arsenal has big ambitions in the Champions League. These two teams will play life and death in the second leg because both teams still have the same chance of qualifying for the next round.

Arsenal nearly lost at home and even with a draw, they will play a second leg in Munich with big fear because Bayern Munich will become stronger at their home stadium. A first leg shows that Bayern Munich have enough quality to beat Arsenal especially now they only have Champions League to fight. Arsenal shown some deadly weakness in their defense system and if Bayern Munich had exploited it better, they would have beaten Arsenal and gotten big advantage for a second leg. A draw is a lucky result for Arsenal and does not put Arsenal under big disadvantage in Munich.

Manchester City got the result they wanted on the road in this match. Haaland's performance was bad. The game lacked pace in general but the goals took the game to another level.

The match changed very quickly as after Real Madrid scored a second goal and led 2 - 1, Manchester City did not create enough pressure on Real Madrid but there are two times, their midfielders made distant shots. These shots were not accurate enough to become a goal for them but they are signals that Real Madrid midfielders did not play well. Eventually, Manchester City successfully with their distant shots while Ancelotti and Madrid players failed to fill these space around their box.

Modric should definitely play in the starting eleven in the second leg. Because Modric kept the ball in Real Madrid's possession after he came on in this game, he carried the ball well before the goal and Vinicius Jr assisted Valverde skillfully. Modric's vision of the game is tremendous.

Modric is very old and no longer has good fitness to play in 90 minutes but at some points of a match, he is helpful. That equalizer is perfectly done from Modric, Vinicius Jr. to Valverde, it's a fantastic goal from each engaged player to the goal itself.

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.

Yes, this was beyond our expectations, because initially we thought the home team would dominate but it wasn't what we expected, I think in the second leg the home team will have an advantage Bayern Munich and Manchester City have a greater chance of qualifying and for today's match I predict these 2 matches will end in a draw. For the betting option, I chose both teams to score in these two matches.

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.

Bayern was playing equally or even better than the arsenal since bayern played away in that game. It must be noticeable by the fans if Arsenal played so garbage in this match. I think that Arsenal must be very disappointed considering the fact that if the club misses an opportunity to take advantage of the bayern in the second leg caused by the draw it ruin Arsenal's chance to go to the semi-final. The club was not playing as well as when it was in the premier league, and I think Bayern is at another level compared to arsenal. History told me that a club that performed so badly in the domestic league can't be underrated, and this time, arsenal did it.
I'm sure that this garbage club will not be able to qualify for the semi-final of the UCL next season. Things have been changing a lot since many players have come and gone. I'm sure Bayern Munich is performing even better in the UCL.
I think that the motivation to win the UCL trophy has fully motivated the players to perform better than they used to. I give credit since many people were making scary statements by saying Emirates Stadium is a scary place. It's not a scary place for the big clubs since Arenal is a mediocre club in UCL.
The 0 UCL trophy has proven that Arsenal will never win the UCL because of its very poor performance compared to other big teams from different leagues.

[Helena Yu]

I already expect it's not an easy match for Manchester City and Arsenal, both of them are overrated. But the results aren't something that I expect, really surprising both of them end in draws.

The best goal from those two matches are goal from Valverde, it's really fast and sharp.

Since the upcoming match it will held in Bayern Munich and Manchester City's grounds, I believe Bayern Munich and Manchester City will able to qualify to the next rounds.

Valverde's goal was so cold, like ice. I could watch it on repeat forever.

The first leg ended in a draw, and I think both sides played well. The home team definitely missed a big opportunity. The second leg will be held at Bayern Munich and Manchester City's grounds, and I believe that both home teams have the advantage heading into the next stage. Damn sure it won't be easy for the visitors in the second leg.

[Bitcoin_people]

All the strong teams in the two Champions League quarter-final matches have performed well. The Champions League leg-1 matches were very competitive and interesting with enough strong fights from each team.

The exciting match between Manchester City and Real Madrid was really interesting. Real Madrid conceded a goal early on but then equalized and went up again with a goal against Man City. Madrid did well until half time but after half time did not have much attacking success and Manchester City played well. Manchester City leveled the game after half-time and Madrid scored another goal later, Manchester City equalized in the 79th minute and the game ended in a 3-3 draw.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich was more exciting and both teams were in good form with Arsenal scoring first. But unfortunately Bayern Munich went ahead in the game on a penalty shot. However, no team could come back with a win till the last moment due to which the match was a draw. And this Champions League match was really interesting with a 2/2 draw, surely the next leg-2 will be more exciting and it will be very difficult to say which team will win.

[wakier]

Arsenal and Munich achieved a 2:2 draw. Arsenal's chance of qualifying for the semifinals seems unlikely because in the second leg Munich has a bigger chance because they are playing at home, but if Arsenal can hold a draw like Munich did in this match then both teams will still have the opportunity to take a penalty and it will be quite difficult to predict who will qualify for the semifinals.
