UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Cryptoprincess101]

I can understand why Vinicius said that "Hala Madrid" chant with so much fervour when he went to greet the fans because many of them thought their hard work was going to go down the drain after Luka Modric missed the shot. It's funny that for the whole of 120 mins, it was just two corners the Los Blancos had which was enough proof that Man City were the ones calling the shots at the Etihad and had that confidence that if it ever went to penalties, they will end the game because frankly the both sides had already given their best.
 It's safe to say that Madrid have avenged their loss àt the hands of Man City when Pep's men removed the Los Blancos last season during the round of 16, now they( Man City) are the ones being kicked out of the round of 16. I don't even blame Real Madrid for celebrating the way they did as if you didn't know what was happening you'd think they've won the champions league but for me, to remove Man City is not a small feat and that alone is like winning the title.

Real Madrid will come out through for their fans, and they're aiming to reach the UCL final this season. Real Madrid have proven to be the best team in the UEFA Champions League this season though meeting Manchester City was one of the most challenging opponents this season. Manchester City dominated the game fulltime recorded 16 corners but with all these dominating stats, who won? Carlo Ancelotti understands the game style of Pep Guardiola and he resolve weaknesses to work on and they were quite forced.

Real Madrid understands European football more than Manchester city because they have had the taste of it on several occasions that is why they knocked City out of the champions league,  the finals may just be between Real Madrid and PSG if you ask me. Manchester city deserves praises too because they fought a good fight but their strength was not enough to take them further.

Very bad that all England teams have been eliminated both Arsenal who also lost to Bayern Munich it is really a terrific night for the premier League teams in the Champions league leaving behind two bundesliga teams of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund then Real Madrid and PSG, congratulations to the teams that qualified for the semi finals.

That's true, the next phase of play is an very interesting stage because the team are going to playing at an fair opportunity of winning the trophy since Manchester city has been knocked out and for Manchester city I bet they will now focus more on their domestic title rather than diversifying their attention to both the premier league and the champions league. Madrid did a very good job but since it still penalty I could count them as one Lucky hell of team.

Yeah, exactly lucky + experience the combined that helped Real Madrid managed to take place in the semi -finals, I say experience because they can draw when they come as the away team and we call luck because they win through penalties. Next Real Madrid must face Bayern Munich they are 2 teams who have the same reputation and experience it's just that we don't know who is the luckiest In the next fight because even though this is a semi -final match, we think this is the same as the final match. My hope is that we can see Bayern Munich and PSG in the final I did not say these 2 teams were better but I hope that luck is on their side.

The two English teams(Arsenal and Man City) present in the UCL has been knocked out from the UCL today. Manchester city was out of the game giving Real Madrid a very big hope of getting the trophy. It pains me abit as arsenal was knocked out of the game. They have really tried a lot to get to this knockout stage. Although they should have utilize their change by trying to get a win in their own home.. Playing draw against Bayern at their home, I know it may not be easy to defeat Bayern at their home.

A really tense match. In this match Manchester City played very well. However, unfortunately there are still many opportunities that cannot be exploited properly. So even though in this match Manchester City managed to dominate the game well. However, in that match Manchester City was only able to score one goal through De Bruyne in the 76th minute. And in that match, the Real Madrid players actually came under quite a lot of pressure from the Manchester City players. Because how could it not be, in this match Real Madrid visits Manchester City's headquarters which will definitely make the game of the Manchester City players better. But fortunately, Real Madrid was able to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw and ultimately had to go to a penalty shootout. Then in the penalty shootout round, Real Madrid managed to win. So Manchester City was eliminated in the quarter-finals and Real Madrid managed to qualify for the semifinals. To be honest, at first I thought Real Madrid would suffer the same fate as the previous UCL (losing to Manchester City in the second leg). However, this year Real Madrid proved that Real Madrid is indeed better than the previous UCL.

And in the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal. In this match, Arsenal had to accept a narrow defeat from Bayern Munich. Actually, Arsenal played quite solidly in this match. However, in the second half, Arsenal conceded through Kimmich's header in the 63rd minute. And until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the second half, Arsenal were unable to equalize. So with this defeat against Bayern Munich, Arsenal had to be eliminated from the UCL with a 3-2 aggregate.

Congratulations to Real Madrid. Real Madrid and City are evenly matched in this match and they were attacking each other, but I'm concerned about Lunin's incredible penalty performance since he was able blocking the shoot by city's players. It's interesting to see how Lunin chose to stay in the middle while Bernardo Silva was shooting and he was successfully blocking it which is amazing to see it. Lunin's performance is only improving and he is getting even better than before.

Rudiger was a key in preventing haaland from playing freely. This guy was amazing when he was still at Chelsea, and Rudiger is only getting better now that he's playing for Real Madrid. This is why Madrid was always interested in acquiring a defender from Chelsea.
Lunin and Rudiger were very crucial to Madrid's victory in that match consider they were able contributing a lot to the clubs. Madrid advances to the semi-finals and will face Bayern Munich. What an incredible match to come again as we prepare to face Madrid and Bayern Munich again soon and this is gonna be a fierce battle between madrid and bayern munich.
The final match is coming again.

Well deserved win for bayern. The club does it better than arsenal and they deserve it. Arsenal was never winning europa league and how can this garbage team win UCL? The better for Arsenal to win PL trophy first. Arsenal is still an ordinary team. NO UCL DNA like other big clubs. It's still full with so many inconsistent little brats.

[Yogee]

Modric should buy their goalkeeper a house or something hehe. His miss was a bad start to the penalty shootout but it still turned out good thanks to the brilliance of the GK. RM should be the huge favorite to win the tournament after disposing City. Bayern is also tough but I doubt they can really beat Ancelotti and his men.

I'm calling it now - RM vs PSG in the Finalas.

Indeed, experience will always produce good results, and even though Manchester City played very well, in fact Real Madrid is stronger in this very prestigious UCL event, because they have a wealth of experience. Apart from that, Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin played very well throughout the match and he also managed to save Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic's penalty kicks and made Real Madrid win 4-3 and qualify for the last 4.
However, it's a shame that the two English representatives, Arsenal and Manchester City, stopped here, and this makes me a little less enthusiastic about watching the next match.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League have passed and the clubs that managed to qualify are PSG, Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. They will meet in the semifinals of the Champions League. I think last night's match was very tense, especially in the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match. I think Manchester City will again beat Real Madrid like last season but it turned out that Real Madrid was able to provide a very strong defense and this mission of revenge was completed through a superior penalty kick by Real Madrid. I have also said that if Real Madrid is able to hold Manchester City to a draw again in the second leg then still have a chance through a penalty shootout. We all know the strength of Manchester City at the Etihad, but Real Madrid's strength in the Champions League cannot be underestimated it is very fitting that Real Madrid is called the "King of the Champions League"

The match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal was also interesting, but I had previously predicted that Bayern Munich would definitely beat Arsenal because in terms of quality and experience, Bayern Munich was far above Arsenal, Bayern Munich took advantage of the second leg to win and Arsenal couldn't score a single goal in the match in Alleanz Arena because Bayern Munich did not provide an opening for Arsenal to break through Bayern Munich's defense, Bayern Munich's next meeting will be against Real Madrid. I think Bayern Munich will be beaten by Real Madrid in this semifinal but we'll see what will happen next.

[Solokan]

Congratulations to Madrid for successfully qualifying for the semi-finals with great difficulty and being able to fight to the last drop of blood, even though they had to be bombarded with repeated attacks from the first half to the second half + extra time, their fighting spirit paid off. I didn't expect that Man City's dominance at home for several seasons without ever losing would now have to swallow a bitter pill. I think Madrid is lucky to have Lunin who has managed to save 2 very significant penalty kicks. Everyone was truly moved and this will be a new history at the Etihad stadium.

Yes, we deserve to congratulate Real Madrid for advancing to the semifinals. Yes, I personally also admire the greatness of Ancelotti's troops who were able to withstand repeated attacks from Pep's troops and Ancelotti's troops managed to win in the penalty shootout, but now Madrid's struggle has produced sweet fruit and is ready to test Bayern's strength in the semifinals.

Yes, usually at the Etihad Manchester City always wins and I personally predict that Manchester City will not be beaten by Ancelotti's troops if there is no penalty shootout, of course Manchester City might have the potential to win. Yes, Lunin's save was extraordinary and made Madrid fans happy.

I think Ancelotti must be prepared to make a good strategy and of course the semifinal match against Bayern certainly cannot be taken lightly.

There is no doubt that Manchester City's performance was good enough in this match. City players tried to dominate the home match. But Manchester City was defeated by Madrid's experienced match tactics.
Madrid played a defensive strategy after Rodrygo scored in the 12th minute. They did not try to attack much, as they were leading 1-0. After de Bruyne's goal in the 76th minute of the match equalized the match, Madrid again played completely attacking.
Modric missed the first penalty in the penalty shootout. But all the other Madrid players have done well. The match was won 4-3. The Real Madrid team is going to face the powerful Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. Qualifying for the final is still very difficult for Madrid.

HALA MADRID

HALA MADRID, at some point during the PK I could hear my heartbeat after Luka modric missed that first PK, luckily  Manchester missed too. I'm so happy for Madrid, because they've been my major choice for this competition. It has been a terrible night on the English side as arsenal lost to Bayern Munich and here Manchester City losing to Madrid, however Manchester city really tried as the game was so intriguing throughout the 120 minutes of play

HALA MADRID.....

Manchester City dominated Real Madrid in this match both in ball possession and goal attempts, but I'm happy that Real Madrid's defense was good enough to stop Manchester City from scoring a lot of goals against Real Madrid. I can now have a wonderful day knowing that Real Madrid knocked out Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final to set up a semi-final with Bayern Munich.

HALA MADRID.

And in the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal. In this match, Arsenal had to accept a narrow defeat from Bayern Munich. Actually, Arsenal played quite solidly in this match. However, in the second half, Arsenal conceded through Kimmich's header in the 63rd minute. And until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the second half, Arsenal were unable to equalize. So with this defeat against Bayern Munich, Arsenal had to be eliminated from the UCL with a 3-2 aggregate.

It was difficult for Arsenal to play openly at home to Bayern Munich and even though they played well in the first half, Bayern Munich also appeared very solid. Playing at home made Bayern Munich dominate the match a little and they tried to attack quite carefully. Meanwhile, Arsenal had several opportunities that they couldn't take advantage of so they didn't score a goal in the match and in the end Kimmich managed to complete his header so that Arsenal was one goal behind Bayern Munich until the match ended.

Arsenal again failed to finish the match and currently the English league representatives have lost their place in the semifinals. However, we should give appreciation to Arsenal because they fought until the end. But because Arsenal's experience in the Champions League is no better than Bayern Munich's, they have to admit Bayern Munich's superiority.

[Tony116]

The situation became unpredictable where decisions had to be made because if Barcola had just let go of course it could have resulted in a goal besides that there were some refereeing decisions that felt burdensome in my opinion that occurred in this match.
Apart from that, I'm not going to blame just one player because Araujo's actions occurred due to some mistakes by the midfielders who also loosened up a little so that even though it was a foul committed by Araujo, all players must take responsibility for it.

This was definitely a surprise for me. I don’t remember the last time you went PSG was behind and actually was able to progress to the next stage. The coach of PSG said they would and they also did. Barcelona was actually looking good. But the red card that they had on the 30th minute, actually destroyed the match for them. And having a defender sent off is not an easy thing to deal with. And Barcelona could not deal with that at all.

First of all, I want to clarify that I am not a big Barcelona fan. But I guess this could be a blessing in disguise. because now they can concentrate in the La Liga competition more. Because let's be honest, they were not going to win the Champions League competition anyway

[mdshimom80]

Bayern Munich or Real Madrid will be champion this season. My support for madrid.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

There is no doubt that Manchester City's performance was good enough in this match. City players tried to dominate the home match. But Manchester City was defeated by Madrid's experienced match tactics.

Haaland is still too gentle in important matches like this. He had almost no threat from the first leg to this second leg. If it weren't for Kevin De Bruyne, Mancity probably would have lost in the main round.

Mancity repeated Barca's mistake when playing at home but could not take advantage of this great advantage. When the match went to penalty shootouts, it was clear that the pressure on Mancity was much greater than on Real Madrid. They put an end to themselves when they missed two penalties. It's a pity that both PRemier League representatives had to stop in the quarterfinals.

[Patrol69]

Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.

Yeah considering the performance of PSG if they managed to qualify to the finals it will surely not going to be easy on them because is quite obvious that their performance is not really good enough to challenge bigger teams and we all know how they struggled on the hands of Barcelona before they eventually qualify through a narrow escape because if Barcelona players were to be intact on that match PSG would not have qualify to another round.

So if for instance PSG qualify with either Bayern Munich, Manchester City or Bayern Leverkusen on the finals they will surely lose the trophy because those teams are more better than them so long as the league is concerned so since they find it very difficult on their match against Barcelona qualifying from their next round will tough on them if at all they can even pulled it off because they will be meetings with bigger team than Barcelona, so let's see how far they will go.

Many say that a manager's role in football is very small and the manager's role in winning or losing the team is very small. Those who think so should realize for themselves how important Luis Enrique is now playing for PSG. PSG had more world-class star players including Messi, Neymar, Mbappe Ramos, but PSG lacked a quality manager at that time, as we saw PSG exiting the Super Sixteen. But this season PSG have appointed a quality manager in their club who sold several key players as soon as the manager came to the club still with a relatively less strong squad but PSG qualified for the semi-finals and they are very likely to qualify for the final. That is, it is clear here that the success or failure of a football game depends a lot on an experienced and skilled manager.

[Bitcoin_people]

The game played by Real Madrid was really interesting but Manchester City tried hard enough and they lost on penalties which is unfortunate for them. A lot of time passed in the game but neither team could score and the match ended in a draw. 112 minutes Despite plenty of attacking play, neither side managed to score a goal and the match went to penalties until the last minute. Manchester City scored first when penalties started and City were ahead when Real Madrid missed a Luca Madris penalty. However, Manchester City's B Silva missed a penalty later on and Jude Bellingham gave Madrid the lead and leveled the match. Later, Madrid's goalkeeper was unable to score another goal due to a great save by Manchester City's Mateo Covacic penalty miss and Madrid won. The goalkeeper did enough for Madrid and then the Real Madrid team won every penalty brilliantly without missing any more chances. However, the Real Madrid team qualified for the semi-final match by 1 goal until the last minute, but this game was the most interesting. Moreover, it was too little for Real Madrid as Manchester City kept enough possession in their home ground yet they were not lucky to win. Bye Manchester City lost and Real Madrid team entered the semi-finals.

The match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal was also interesting, but I had previously predicted that Bayern Munich would definitely beat Arsenal because in terms of quality and experience, Bayern Munich was far above Arsenal, Bayern Munich took advantage of the second leg to win and Arsenal couldn't score a single goal in the match in Alleanz Arena because Bayern Munich did not provide an opening for Arsenal to break through Bayern Munich's defense, Bayern Munich's next meeting will be against Real Madrid. I think Bayern Munich will be beaten by Real Madrid in this semifinal but we'll see what will happen next.

Arsenal journey in UCL end in Germany but they deserve commendation for coming this far. The fact that these young talents with no experience in the champions league came this far, it means Arsenal is moving on the right track. They showcase fighting spirit and team work. However, I hate to say this but it's the fact if we want to be honest with ourselves, Arsenal is having a great season with wonderful performances too but unfortunately there is nothing to show for it. One important thing lacking in the Arsenal squad is striker. The need for a clinical striker is more important than any other thing now and the management should do something about it if they truly want to be among contending teams.

Arterta also deserves some praise for bringing the team to this stage after several years of break from UCL but he is also part of the problem. Imagine Havertz playing absolutely nothing while Partey is on the bench watching. Who does that and expect a turn around when you failed to get things rightly? The earlier Arterta learn, the better for the team. UCL journey has ended, it's time to focus on the EPL and not allow this losing frustration to affect their next game.

How can Haaland be able to score if all Real Madrid's defenders are put an eye on him?

Manchester City performed admirably in this match, taking 33 shots with 9 on target, but luck was not on their side. This is in stark contrast to Barcelona, who did not control the game and lacked the determination to secure a victory.

Not surprising to see they got eliminated, Premier League's teams are just overrated while the truth any strong teams from other leagues are as good as them.

[makishart]

There is no doubt that Manchester City's performance was good enough in this match. City players tried to dominate the home match. But Manchester City was defeated by Madrid's experienced match tactics.

Haaland is still too gentle in important matches like this. He had almost no threat from the first leg to this second leg. If it weren't for Kevin De Bruyne, Mancity probably would have lost in the main round.

Rudiger, a key player for Real Madrid and he is responsible for stopping him, he did it. I can't even imagine how real Madrid is without him caused by rudiger is the biggest wall owned by madrid even haaland can do nothing against him. I remind you that if other clubs require several players to prevent Haaland from taking up free space which are also paying so player's attention. It's a little different with Rudiger. just him alone is enough to keep Haaland from getting free space which is so crazy. Either of team were dominating the game. 
Rudiger is a key player in reducing Haaland's impact across all legs. That is why buying him from Chelsea was the best decision Real Madrid has ever made. Rudiger professionally prevents Haaland from attacking Lunan. Real Madrid's win is well-deserved.
The penalty was extremely dramatic, especially when Silva missed because Lun successfully blocked Silva's shot. That was an incredible performance by Real Madrid. Bellingham is getting even closer to winning UCL.

Mancity repeated Barca's mistake when playing at home but could not take advantage of this great advantage. When the match went to penalty shootouts, it was clear that the pressure on Mancity was much greater than on Real Madrid. They put an end to themselves when they missed two penalties. It's a pity that both PRemier League representatives had to stop in the quarterfinals.

Manchester city can still at least did better than barcelona which has been destroyed by PSG. Real madrid is as strong as manchester city right now. That's why losing against the same strong thing is a common thign these days.
Pep can now focus on how to get EPL trophy this season caused by city is only a few inches to the EPL trophy. Things are getting even harder for manchester city consider it must win all of remaining games.
