UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Roseline492]

Barcelona were very unlucky, they started the match quite well but something unexpected happened, namely one of their players received a red card, which made the game change drastically.
And I think that's a common thing that happens in football and PSG was able to take advantage of the moment to turn things around.

And what is quite a shame is Atletico Madrid's defeat against Dprtmund even though they already had significant capital after winning in the first leg, but Atletico Madrid's performance declined significantly in this match.

Tonight we will again watch the second leg of Bayern vs Arsenal and Man City vs Real Madrid, these two matches will also be fierce I think and I hope there will be more surprises.

In terms of Barcelona and PSG it was very sad for Barcelona because they never expected that things would turn around this way for them, actually with the kind of force they have on that match if they were not issued the red card they would beating PSG but however that's a game of football for you because a little mistake can cost a lot and that's exactly what disorganised Barcelona. However to night holds four of the toughest clubs on this champions League and from their last meetings knowing what will happen on this match could be hard but one thing is possible that they may no longer end in draw this time around.

However, just as I said that Barcelona could win, there's nothing to stop PSG winning the next game
...

I bet on Barcelona in the first game, in France, and managed to win the bet, even though everyone believed in PSG
Yesterday I didn't place any bets, I had too many doubts, and if I had placed bets, it would have been on Barcelona

I consider it a victory for me that I didn't bet hehe, sometimes it's better to do nothing, and I didn't lose the bet

I don't even have much to say, I was really surprised by this win, along with Mbapeé, who I thought was already discouraged with PSG and not playing his best
Barcelona missed their best chance of the year

[Unsoldier]

It is a pity that Real and Manchester City will not play in the final, unfortunately with today will have to say goodbye to one of the teams. I believe in the victory of Manchester City, as the game will be played in England. I think both teams will play very cautiously in the return match and we will not see more than three goals scored.

[Polkeins]

Barcelona was eliminated, Atletico Madrid was eliminated, is it Real Madrid's turn? Dortmund played the most amazing game of this year. Atletico could do nothing but defend desperately. It was a deserved victory and a deserved victory. The Germans do this job great. If Bayern eliminates Arsenal, there may be two German finals.

I'm not talking about the club's that will make it to the finals. Let's focus on the present. Barcelona was home and also seen as an advantage to qualify but their outcome turned out to be against them. I think the referee, Istvan Kovacs was been faired towards both sides. Barcelona was leading, not until Araujo was issued a red card for tackling his opponent in the 18 yard box, it's been really a tough moment but the winning team will always prevail no matter what. The former and current Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique saw this epic comeback and grabbed it within his reach.

Luis Enrique is one of those who know the Spanish team best. Of course, this was an advantage for Paris Saint Germain. When Raphael scored the first goal, I thought things were over for PSG, but the changing game balance with a red card enabled PSG to pass the round. PSG advanced to the round and unfortunately Barcelona had to be eliminated with this defeat. In football, sometimes one mistake can destroy the entire team. Just like the red card that is deemed unnecessary.

Sure the red card broke the game and perhaps the suspension was too harsh a punishment, but the foul was there and Araujo is an experienced enough player not to make such mistakes. It is also unclear why Xavi was sent off, which further weakened Barcelona.
It should be noted that Barcelona fought to the end, especially Rafinha, but no one could score, although Gundogan and Rafinha had chances.
Barcelona have not reached the 1\2 finals of the Champions League for a long time, it's been 5 years since 2019 and this year's exit would have been a serious achievement for them, but unfortunately for Barcelona, the game was decided by the removal of Araujo and PSG stars Mbappe and Dembele.

I was rooting for the Spaniards and was convinced that we would see Barcelona Athletic Madrid and Real Madrid in the semifinals, but Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint Germain were able to turn the situation around and now find themselves competing in the semifinals, both teams come from the same group and now aspire to gain a pass to the final.

If Madrid fails today and is defeated by Manchester City, it is clear that there will be no representatives from the Spanish team in the UCL anymore, because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have failed because they came back in the second leg, this will be valuable experience for them to compete again next season, no Some people think PSG can qualify for the semi-finals and Dortmund can also succeed in beating Atletico Madrid. I wouldn't be surprised if Dortmund makes it to the UCL semi-finals because they have experience with that because they play quite consistently.

Today is an important day where the team from England will determine who will qualify for the next round, the UCL semi-finals this time will be great because there are different teams this season, I admit that no one expected PSG to succeed in coming back in the match this second leg. but this is football, nothing is impossible for us to see, Manchester City will play at the Etihad Stadium and I hope Madrid doesn't make a comeback in this second leg, I hope Manchester City will qualify for the UCL semi-finals as will Munich, lol at least there will be an English representative who made it to the final.  

[Hanadawa]

from Laliga, Barcelona lost and failed to advance to the semifinals, as well as Atletico Madrid failed to advance to the semifinals. Now the hope team from Laliga is Real Madrid. Of course, if for example Real Madrid lost, of course not a single representative from Laliga would qualify for the semifinals. and honestly I can't wait to see Ancelotti's troops play against Pep Guardiola's troops and of course it won't be long before Manchester City's match against Madrid in the Champions League.
but I predict Manchester City will win against Madrid. and I want to bet on Manchester city winning

The results of the Barcelona and Atletico match were really beyond my expectations. Barcelona and Atletico played in the second leg with a win in the first leg. Both are also favorites to win. PSG is indeed a strong team but many doubt them because Barcelona has long experience in the UCL. Nobody thought Dortmund would be able to beat Atletico. I thought Dortmund were underdogs in the quarterfinals and surprisingly they made it through to the semifinals.

This of course makes me really look forward to tonight's match between City vs Madrid. Many said City would lose because in the previous two matches the favorite team surprisingly lost. But I think City and Madrid are at the same level. I don't put Madrid on a par with Dortmund and PSG, but I think Barca, Atletico, City and Madrid do have the same quality. So I think tonight's match will be unpredictable. I don't even know which one to choose tonight.

[Yogee]

[...]
The red card that Araújo received was a bit controversial and the referee seemed excessive by immediately issuing a red card, at least a yellow card was still normal,

That's what I though initially. It looked like a normal foul and it was just outside the penalty box but there's another rule that made it a red card. Barcola had a clear goal-scoring opportunity but was denied by Araújo's light contact. If it happened in the middle of the pitch and there are many players behind him then it would likely be just an ordinary foul with no card.

Barcelona was eliminated, Atletico Madrid was eliminated, is it Real Madrid's turn? Dortmund played the most amazing game of this year. Atletico could do nothing but defend desperately. It was a deserved victory and a deserved victory. The Germans do this job great. If Bayern eliminates Arsenal, there may be two German finals.

Yes that's right. Now two Sanyol representatives have been eliminated from the UCL League, only Real Madrid remains. You could say that Real Madrid is the only hope for the Spanish representatives to stay in the UCL League. So I think Real Madrid will use all its strength against Man City later, even though it is very difficult for Real Madrid to win at home to Man City, but I am sure that Real Madrid will make history again.

The Barcelona vs PSG match is like PSG's perfect revenge. In 2016-2017, Barcelona got rid of PSG controversially because there was no VAR when Neymar was seen diving. The difference is, at that time Luis Enrique was still Barcelona coach and is currently at PSG. But now PSG is purely beating Barcelona without a referee, that's karma for Barcelona. Interestingly, PSG and Dortmund had already qualified for the semifinals, were both in the Hell group and finally met again in the semifinals.

[Out of mind]

Currently, in the quarter-finals at UCL we have seen two teams enter the semi-finals, PSG and Dortmund. The game was really interesting with two strong teams defeating good teams like Atlético Madrid and Barcelona to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League. Currently, we have seen two teams enter the semi-finals, one from the France League and the other from the Germany League.  

However, today's match is going to be a great match between Manchester United vs Real Madrid and Bayern Munich vs Arsenal. Although in today's match I think Real Madrid, Manchester City will try hard enough to win at home, but it might not succeed. On the other hand, Arsenal will try to win at the home ground of Bayern Munich, but it may not be possible to win. That's why in today's match, Bayern Munich can qualify for the Champions League semi-finals, while Manchester City can enter the semi-finals.

[Volgastallion]

Well i think we are gonna see PSG again in a Champions League final,it is what it is. Dortmund cant have any chances against PSG and the draw clearly helps PSG this season.

What a mess was the yesterday game between Atletico and Dortmund, both teams were horrible in defensives play, and also both teams miss a lot of opportunities.

[Velvet78]

We are going to continue this great Champions League week by tonight's games and finish the quarter final matchups finally.  

Bayern Munich - Arsenal. I believe Bayern Munich will eliminate Arsenal by getting a win in regular time. I believe Arsenal missed a big chance by not being able to win at Emirates. I don't feel like they can beat Bayern Munich away. I know Bayern Munich aren't having one of their best seasons but now they are fully focused on the Champions League. I don't think they would lose this chance too.

Manchester City - Real Madrid. This is the main event of the night in my opinion. Most people would love to watch this one instead.    We watched an amazing game in the first leg. Ancelotti adopted a really smart strategy and didn't lose. However at Etihad I feel like Manchester City will win and it will happen in regular time too. They are playing much more different home and I don't think Real Madrid will surprise us as an underdog according to the odds.

[Weawant]

Barcelona lost their Opportunity to PSG resulting from the red card and it's very heart broken because i doubted if Barcelona would have lost this opportunity just like that of not for the red card, after the red card the porosity of Barcelona became very clear to PSG and they were doing just exactly what they wanted without even having much resistance because even the confidence of Barcelona did dropped.

PSG will be facing Dortmund in their next round of the champions league of which if they are able to get pass Dortmund they can be sure to make it to the finals and ofcourse it will gradually looking like a dream come through coming even more closer than they had envisioned because after Barcelona defeated them at home it was then looking like they may not be able to get the opportunity to get to the semi finals again but now I'm sure their confidence will be very high at this point already as they will be very prepared and ready to face every team they will be meeting after now.

Manchester city will hope to beat Madrid but then that's actually going to be a really tough game but then if we are to think about it, any of them that eventually wins may likely get to meet PSG or Dortmund in the final stage but most likely it will be PSG and the speculations of having two Spanish team at the finals isn't going to be a reality but it would have actually been really interesting having an El clasico meet up in the UCL finals.

[Zanab247]

It is a pity that Real and Manchester City will not play in the final, unfortunately with today will have to say goodbye to one of the teams. I believe in the victory of Manchester City, as the game will be played in England. I think both teams will play very cautiously in the return match and we will not see more than three goals scored.

No just conclude yet, what will happen to Manchester city and Real Madrid in this quarter-final, because many people said things like that to PSG and Athletic Madrid, to be the team that will be lock out based on their first leg performance but they changed the game in the second leg to qualified.

Since Real Madrid no how to play UEFA champions league very well, I guess they will take advantage of that to beat Manchester city 1:2 to lock them out in this second leg because they are good in using home to take victory from their opponent.

There is no way draw game will happen in the two games playing today, Arsenal will use this game to lock out Bayern Munich 2:3 for the favor of Arsenal, and Real Madrid will be favor in their home to Lock out Manchester city, that is my prediction in today games.

Bayern's match against Arsenal is no less exciting and Bayern, who is currently in 2nd place in the Bundesliga, will certainly give everything they can to advance to the semifinals, as well as Arsenal who is now in place in the EPL, will definitely give their all. fought as hard as he could to advance to the semifinals but lost. Arsenal against Aston Villa in the EPL certainly makes me doubt whether Arsenal will be able to beat Bayern or not, but I personally predict that Arsenal will win against Bayern and Arsenal will advance to the semifinals. The upcoming match is really exciting and tense.

Arsenal lost at home to Aston Villa and lost important points in the English championship. This may affect the EPL championship race, and also have a negative impact on the mood of the English in today's game against Bayern. In the last 6 Arsenal vs Bayern games, both teams have scored goals. In addition, Munich have always beaten the Gunners in the Champions League play-offs. Therefore, I am inclined to believe that the German team should go further.

UEFA have released the ticket prices for the Champions League final this season at Wembley.
£2,900 for the most expensive 'Prime Seats'.

Source: https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1777726519474848078

OK, is it just me or does anyone else think that the prices of the tickets make me feel like brokie?

I mean of course some people are going to say that it is not that bad. But right now I think watching important football matches in the stadium is definitely a luxury that not everyone can afford. Now of course an argument could be made that we do not need to get the prime seat. we could just get the regular. But I think even then it is a little too much, isn’t it?

I mean people who are going to buy prime seats can afford almost anything in the world. The problem comes from the middle class or the lower class people.

Just a thought.

Only people who are really rich can watch the final match live, for me it's better to watch it on television or on live streaming video even though it's the same price, it's not as expensive as watching it live. It's only natural that the price is that expensive because those watching the final are not only Europeans but people from all over the world can watch the match if they can afford the tickets.

There's no need to worry or think about it, basically there are a lot of spectators and fans of the European league and many people are willing to dig deep into their pockets just to watch their favorite club perform and become the winner. Even if I had a lot of money, I would prefer to watch the match live because my love for European football.

Barcelona lost their Opportunity to PSG resulting from the red card and it's very heart broken because i doubted if Barcelona would have lost this opportunity just like that of not for the red card, after the red card the porosity of Barcelona became very clear to PSG and they were doing just exactly what they wanted without even having much resistance because even the confidence of Barcelona did dropped.

I'm not sure whether it's necessary to give a red card or not. In my opinion, the offense should have been sufficient for a yellow card. However, our assessment with the referee is different. At first I was sure Barcelona would qualify, because Barca had led the match with 1 goal, but after the red card received by Barcelona players, there was an imbalance from line to line, and made some room for PSG player to open positions for attacking, also PSG was able to maximize these conditions very well. Mbappe managed to score a good closing goal for this matches in the last minute of the second half.

Bayern Munich - Arsenal. I believe Bayern Munich will eliminate Arsenal by getting a win in regular time. I believe Arsenal missed a big chance by not being able to win at Emirates. I don't feel like they can beat Bayern Munich away. I know Bayern Munich aren't having one of their best seasons but now they are fully focused on the Champions League. I don't think they would lose this chance too.

Still anyone's game really. The chances are estimated almost identically for both teams, with a slight advantage to Bayern:
38% - Bayern to win
27% - extra time
35% - Arsenal to win

as per Google.

And as I said before - Bayern is not doing bad at all this season. If you look at their average points per game (for the league games), they are doing slightly better than the last season, when they had won the league. It's just that this year they got overshadowed by Bayer Leverkusen, who are having their best season in history and might set a record for the most points.

Of a truth, I actually thought it is over for this psg side as Barcelona took the lead, but a quick turn of events change everything about the match, and into the favour of psg, though the Barcelona fan would be feeling hard done by the red card,  but to me it's deserving because he was the last man, but a big congrats to psg for qualifying for the semi final of the competition.

And as for atletico madrid, I just don't know what transpired behind closed doors that makes them performed so badly yesterday that got them eliminated, because after the first leg, everyone believe that they are going to progress to the next stage of the competition due to their record of having the ability to hold on to their leads, but that wasn't the case yesterday, and they paid for it dearly.

I think Barcelona have lost their way since getting the red card, this is what makes PSG more confident with the advantage of 1 player, they are actually enthusiastic or ambitious to win at Barcelona's home ground. Yes, of course the supporters were very disappointed with the result, I thought Barcelona had shown their best game but fate said otherwise, I saw that PSG was ready technically and their players were on fire in last night's match. I was quite surprised by Dortmund's achievements, Indeed, they are not very superior, but they are confident because they are playing at home, every pass they make remains targeted at their players and their players do not waste the opportunities in front of them.

You're right, the red card was a very important moment for Barcelona. The world's best team was playing well and scored early on, but then they lost focus. When PSG had the chance, they always do, and that one mistake gave them the mental edge. It makes sense that Barca tried to be safe after the red card, but PSG's pressure was crazy. Even though Ter Stegen is the best goalkeeper in the world, he can only do so much. But they fought hard, and that's something to admire. Luck doesn't always work in your favor.

I'll say it: Dortmund surprised us. That's how you win: they really stepped up their game at home. They passed the ball well and took their chances. In football, having the home field is very important, and they showed that a determined team can pull off an upset. They won big.

Arsenal lost at home to Aston Villa and lost important points in the English championship. This may affect the EPL championship race, and also have a negative impact on the mood of the English in today's game against Bayern. In the last 6 Arsenal vs Bayern games, both teams have scored goals. In addition, Munich have always beaten the Gunners in the Champions League play-offs. Therefore, I am inclined to believe that the German team should go further.

Anything can happen in this match... Harry Kane has already said hello to Spurs fans and said he's ready to beat Arsenal today... Just for some reason I'm not so sure about that... The defeat to Villa doesn't say much, it's a top club too... I think Bayern can score, but Arsenal are very strong now and ready to fight...

[bitLeap]

The caution and discipline in the first leg were not maintained by them, and Barca did not play well in this match, especially in defense. The red card might the turning point of the match, but Barca can only blame themselves. Because after Araujo's red card, Inigo Martinez came on to replace Yamal, limiting the home team's ability to counterattack and allowing PSG to comfortably press forward.

 In the midst of a difficult context and under great psychological pressure, Xavi and Barca's steering committee could not keep calm, leading to the situation getting worse and worse for them.

The reason behind Xavi replacing Yamal with Inigo was to improve the back line but it also had an impact on the attack becoming increasingly dull. It is difficult to overcome a position that has lost more than 1 player. Playing with 10 teams against 11 teams clearly has an advantage for the opponent. Xavi was a little confused. Even though Yamal was young, he was able to move freely. Once again, this defeat was still a bitter reality that left a deep impression and would last a long time. All the struggles are over for Xavi and there is no final trophy that he can present, so this will further strengthen Xavi desire to immediately leave his position as coach of Barcelona.

The most surprising thing to see was Dortmund's huge victory and eliminating Atletico Madrid in even regular time. Just how did they do it by 4-2?    Despite Atletico Madrid's comeback to 2-2 Dortmund somehow finished the job in regular time... Dortmund did what Inter couldn't, they really deserve to be appreciated for this huge win.

Dortmund deserved this victory, even though both sides Atletico Madrid didn't play too badly, but overall Dortmund was on top of everything to lead the match. After Sabitzer goal, the mentality of the Dortmund players became even hotter, because it was the decisive goal for the 5-4 aggregate and made Dortmund emerge victorious.
