UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[lizarder]

All teams qualifying for the knockout round can have the opportunity to advance to the next round. There is indeed a luck factor here, when they draw their opponents will determine the next path, whether they will get a tough opponent, or tend to be easier. Whenn entering the semi-finals, we will only see quality and strength, no longer luck, Where the team that will reach that round has given its best to be able to compete for the trophy.
I would not be surprised if I saw a team that currently managed to get a position in the top 8 could easily be eliminated in the knockout round.

That's it because sometimes luck can face easier opponents so that it opens the way for certain teams to qualify for the next round. The Champions League may be a little different because experience and mentality are very influential for the team when they have entered the semifinals and the quality of the players they have plays a big role when they have entered that round. Now if you look at the temporary standings, the English representatives still look a little better because there are Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa in the top 8 of the standings.

The knockout round may be much more difficult because there will be much tighter competition. This is where the team needs to be at their best to consistently win so they can advance to the next round in the competition for the championship title.

Luck can never be removed from football, yes, like it or not, luck can be something that will determine something for a team. For example, in the draw, no one knows which team they will meet, stronger or weaker and so on.
In addition, in the game, luck may also have an effect, there have been many teams that have failed because they were unlucky. In the game they played much better, created many opportunities, but they had to lose because of one opportunity obtained by the opponent.
Indeed, in the Champions League, mentality is very influential and mentality can bring that luck. However, it is not something that is unintentional, but luck that has been created.

And also in the playoffs the coach's experience in the Euro Cups will be important and Emery has such experience, so I think that Aston Villa is capable of achieving very good results. Yes, of course, the team's form is also very important, at the playoff stage the teams play a little differently, they understand that the responsibility is higher and therefore some of the teams can play more cautiously, putting more emphasis on defense, by the way, this also depends on the coach's strategy.

Regarding Madrid's match against Salzburg, we don't need to worry because Madrid will win easily to get full points in the match. Although some defenders are injured, we all know that the current substitute players are also very qualified and can also be relied on. On the one hand, Mbappe has begun to have great confidence to continue to contribute well to help Madrid provide great opportunities in the UCL. And for concerns about injured players, it seems that Ancelotti will not remain silent seeing the current squad conditions and we can just see the surprise that Ancelotti will give by bringing in new players with very good quality.

Its easy to believe Madrid is going to win this particular fixture without having to really stress, because looking at both squad they have so much differences and variations in their depth, strength and even in their tactical approach to games, and by all of this measure ls, Madrid appears to be ahead as Salzburg has got a weak defence good enough to pose some resistive strength at Madrid in this game, nevertheless Madrid will still needed to earn a victory here as Salzburg may not want to give it easily or make it easy for them actually.

Madrid is still bad for the UCL this season. The next match on the 23rd is against Salzburg. Madrid must win to keep the chance to improve the ranking. Although currently they are still in a position to enter the next phase through the playoffs. They should be able to take advantage of the moment to maximize points so that they can directly enter the next phase.

Furthermore, Madrid may improve the players. They can take advantage of the transfer market. Another problem is that many players are still injured so Madrid does not have many substitution options. So we can see this season is a little bad for Madrid in the UCL.

Currently Madrid are ranked 20th in the Champions League standings and with two more matches left of course at this time their chances of automatic qualification to the round of 16 have been closed, so the only way for them is to fight to qualify through the playoffs, facing Salzburg maybe some of us think the match will be easy for them to win, but we should not forget that currently Madrid condition is not stable and it also allows every opponent they can give a surprise in that match, Madrid is indeed in a strong position although there are some of their players injured, but still they should not underestimate Salzburg in the match later, because after all Salzburg also has the motivation and ambition to be able to beat a big team as Madrid although their chances for win and qualifying are very small.

Real Madrid will have to take this game serious, because they need these 3 points more than we can say, because if Real Madrid didn’t win the two last games, then I don’t think they will be among the teams that will be present in the round of 16 this season, which means they have no hope anymore. Although they have the highest chance of winning the game against Salzburg, it is a home game for Real Madrid, so it will be like a sure win for Real Madrid with no stress. Moreover, as you mentioned, Real Madrid is better than them in terms of strength and many other aspects.

Of course, easy win or not, a win is important for Madrid in this match because they're the favorite. If you observe Madrid players, they are now becoming more serious to cover up their previous lapses that they had in all competitions due to the initial injury challenges that they had. Salzburg is not strong enough to stop Madrid from defeating them, because they're not as strong as Madrid.

Salzburg could lose badly without any reply when they are guests at Real Madrid's home in the next match in the Champions League this season and even Salzburg will not be able to get a single point in that match. Because when Real Madrid players are serious enough to fix their mistakes in the upcoming matches, of course it will be very torturous for teams that are less strong like Salzburg, so I will assume that Madrid will be a little easier to win the match unless there are many new mistakes from the Madrid players themselves.

Manchester City's visit to Paris Saint Germaine will be a very important game for both sides and that's because both teams will need to win that game to still stand a chance of progressing to the next round of the competition. Manchester City I know have not been as impressive as they used to be this season but in their last two games, they've significantly improved so I expect an epic game when both side meet at Parc des Princes later this month. I can't actually predict who'll win that game now but I expect the game to produce a lot of goals

In the next match against PSG, i am not saying it will be an easy match for Manchester City to beat PSG because Manchester City itself is facing some problems but still the chances of winning are always there, it will be a very tense match.

While PSG in their last 5 matches played quite badly because they only got 1 win, namely in their last match against RB Salzburg, which is a weaker team.

Despite Manchester city having their difficult times this season I still see them as favorite over PSG. Yes the two need a win to qualify for the next stage of the competition but we know it's only one that will have to proceed and I feel Manchester city is more prepared to move to the next round compared to PSG.

I am also expecting a tensed match with more than two goals from both sides but it won't end in a draw obviously. This are my own prediction and I am going to place my bet as stated if I win then I will come back to reference this reply. We have seen. PSG struggle more than city this season and as such might not be too fit to take on CIty

While PSG in their last 5 matches played quite badly because they only got 1 win, namely in their last match against RB Salzburg, which is a weaker team.

The game is of massive importance for both teams obviously. Manchester City doesn't want to lose under any circumstance and a draw would give them a decent position for the last game in the Champions League pre-stage. But for PSG it would be tough if they lose that game at home and then have to play another highly stressful game against Stuttgart. Both teams are right below the cut-off now and I think the chance is very high that the last game will be a final for both of them. The goal difference can become important, which gives PSG an edge over Stuttgart, but I think this can still change until the last game if PSG loses against Manchester City and Stuttgart uses the big chance they have now against one of the weakest teams in the Champions League, namely Slovan Bratislava. That's huge for Stuttgart as this opponent should be important 3 points and Bratislava is already out anyway. With those 3 points and perhaps a decent goal difference compared to PSG, I think the last game is going to be hell for PSG unless for some reason they beat Manchester City in the next one now.

I think nobody thought that after six games in the Champions League, PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid would be at risk. It's crazy but I think I like this new mode. It is fighting until the very end and for us fans it is good to have some big clashes early in the CL season and not only very far down the road.

[Solokan]

--------------------

Real must first ensure that they qualify for the next round before targeting the final. The remaining two matches must be won, on paper Salzburg and Brest are not worthy opponents but this is the UCL competition where every weak team always provides tough resistance, Ancelotti must focus because it is not funny if a team as big as Real Madrid must fall in the first round, if you look at their current performance which is getting better I am quite sure that the two matches can be passed, besides this long break allows Ancelotti to prepare his team very carefully.

It's true that Real Madrid have to fight harder to advance to the next round and what you say is definitely true because we can't underestimate teams that are considered weak, especially the UCL team, of course it's not just any team because they can definitely get tickets. to UCL because of his good achievements. and of course, yes, it is true here that Ancelotti has to be careful because of course if Real Madrid does not qualify for the last 16 of course this will be a bad achievement for Real Madrid because remember that Real Madrid were champions last season.

Real Madrid's performance is indeed improving, but of course at the moment I see that their good performance is still not consistent, especially when I saw Real Madrid's match in Laliga against Valencia, where at that time Real Madrid almost lost. but yes, it is true, considering that there is still a lot of time for the next UCL match, Ancelotti will definitely train Real Madrid well and I am also sure that Real Madrid will be able to perform better so it looks like Real Madrid's matches against RB Salzburg and Brest will be won by Real Madrid. But unfortunately that match is still far away and I feel like I can't wait to see Real Madrid's match against RB Salzburg.

And also in the playoffs the coach's experience in the Euro Cups will be important and Emery has such experience, so I think that Aston Villa is capable of achieving very good results. Yes, of course, the team's form is also very important, at the playoff stage the teams play a little differently, they understand that the responsibility is higher and therefore some of the teams can play more cautiously, putting more emphasis on defense, by the way, this also depends on the coach's strategy.

The Play-off round actually always displays more high-level pressure like a final. because all teams really have to win the match if they want to qualify for the next stage. And there aren't many opportunities anymore in the Play-offs so a team can't even make that many unnecessary mistakes. And usually the tension there is always high.
But fortunately Aston Villa should have a big chance of avoiding the play-offs and will go straight to the next stage if they manage to beat Monaco and Celtic. And I think Monaco and Celtic's performance in the UCL this time is not that good. And Aston Villa should be able to overcome these two teams.

Whenn entering the semi-finals, we will only see quality and strength, no longer luck, Where the team that will reach that round has given its best to be able to compete for the trophy.
I would not be surprised if I saw a team that currently managed to get a position in the top 8 could easily be eliminated in the knockout round.

That's it because sometimes luck can face easier opponents so that it opens the way for certain teams to qualify for the next round. The Champions League may be a little different because experience and mentality are very influential for the team when they have entered the semifinals and the quality of the players they have plays a big role when they have entered that round.

Indeed, in the Champions League, mentality is very influential and mentality can bring that luck. However, it is not something that is unintentional, but luck that has been created.

On the field, I don't think there will be luck that determines whether a team wins or not. On the field, there is only ability that can be shown to the maximum.
team luck is the form of them getting the next opponent's draw. If I'm not mistaken the 8 teams at the top of the standings will not meet each other in the knockout round, or will they get another draw?
In the knockout round, I'm sure there will be a more interesting show and maybe give us a surprise from several teams.

While PSG in their last 5 matches played quite badly because they only got 1 win, namely in their last match against RB Salzburg, which is a weaker team.

This will be a tense match for both clubs, because there is no better option for them than to win, both for Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City.
A defeat will make it even more difficult for them to be in the play-off round, as well as a draw which will definitely see the results of other clubs' matches. And it's a bit disappointing if they have to rely on other clubs' matches, because they are big clubs from their respective leagues, especially Manchester City is a club that has actually always been a favorite in the last few seasons in the Champions League.

Right, the luck factor and the opposing team not being too strong can make one team advance to the next phase a little easier, so I agree with what you said. One example is last season, maybe we can say Dortmund who had an opponent that was not too strong, as we saw Dortmund was able to advance to a higher phase last season. We can take an example in the 2022/23 season, at that time Inter did not have a tough opponent except in the group phase. They advanced to the final, unfortunately they were defeated by Manchester City. If we refer to the 2024/25 Champions League season, there are three English representatives who have a great chance of qualifying from this group stage. Well, if these three teams do not meet strong opponents, it is likely that they can advance to a higher phase. It is also possible that one of them will enter the final round of this competition, and the most potential is Liverpool if we look at their performance so far. Unfortunately, there is no certainty that this English team can enter the final round of the Champions League. certainly, after the Champions League group stage is over, the next phase requires all teams to perform well, consistently, and win their matches. but it is not easy, any team that enters the next round will have the slightest chance to defeat their opponents. we'll see, because the fight is much more exciting after the last 16.

Regarding Madrid's match against Salzburg, we don't need to worry because Madrid will win easily to get full points in the match. Although some defenders are injured, we all know that the current substitute players are also very qualified and can also be relied on. On the one hand, Mbappe has begun to have great confidence to continue to contribute well to help Madrid provide great opportunities in the UCL. And for concerns about injured players, it seems that Ancelotti will not remain silent seeing the current squad conditions and we can just see the surprise that Ancelotti will give by bringing in new players with very good quality.

Its easy to believe Madrid is going to win this particular fixture without having to really stress, because looking at both squad they have so much differences and variations in their depth, strength and even in their tactical approach to games, and by all of this measure ls, Madrid appears to be ahead as Salzburg has got a weak defence good enough to pose some resistive strength at Madrid in this game, nevertheless Madrid will still needed to earn a victory here as Salzburg may not want to give it easily or make it easy for them actually.

Real Madrid will have to take this game serious, because they need these 3 points more than we can say, because if Real Madrid didn’t win the two last games, then I don’t think they will be among the teams that will be present in the round of 16 this season, which means they have no hope anymore. Although they have the highest chance of winning the game against Salzburg, it is a home game for Real Madrid, so it will be like a sure win for Real Madrid with no stress. Moreover, as you mentioned, Real Madrid is better than them in terms of strength and many other aspects.

With the squads Real Midred coach is bringing out to play this game, I think victory is sure for them to secure in the home of their opponent because they will not going to take the game easy in this first game in 2025.  Despite the challenge Real Midred experience in some last games, they have displayed some performance in the la Liga league that made people to believed that they will reach round 16 in this UEFA champion league game.

If Real Midred can played 11 players with 10 players and still win the game to secure victory, show that Real Midred coach is really prepared to break record in this tournament for Real Midred to lift the UEFA trophy.

Moreover, as you mentioned, Real Madrid is better than them in terms of strength and many other aspects.

The opportunity is right in front of their eyes, so Real Madrid will try to take advantage of this opportunity to open the way to qualify for the round of 16. With their performance improving and the front line showing its sharpness again, I think it will not be difficult for Real Madrid to get full points when facing Salzburg. Meanwhile, in the last game against Brest, Real Madrid was also the favorite team. Although Brest performed well since the first match, Real Madrid strength is still much stronger than them, only luck can make Brest steal points from Real Madrid.

[stompix]

facing Salzburg maybe some of us think the match will be easy for them to win, but we should not forget that currently Madrid condition is not stable and it also allows every opponent they can give a surprise in that match, Madrid is indeed in a strong position although there are some of their players injured, but still they should not underestimate Salzburg in the match later, because after all Salzburg also has the motivation and ambition to be able to beat a big team as Madrid although their chances for win and qualifying are very small.

Bruh,Real has lost against Milan and Liverpool, has beaten Dortmund and Atalanta, Salzburg has only won one match against Feyenoord with a ton of luck on their side with some goals that were 10% teamwork and 90% complete mistakes from the others, plus a red card at h end of the game.

If you think Salzburg will put up such a fight in this match why not take a handicap option, even at 3 Salzburg is 1.5 so easy money, right?


That match is the no-game of the round.

Real Madrid will have to take this game serious, because they need these 3 points more than we can say, because if Real Madrid didn’t win the two last games, then I don’t think they will be among the teams that will be present in the round of 16 this season, which means they have no hope anymore. Although they have the highest chance of winning the game against Salzburg, it is a home game for Real Madrid, so it will be like a sure win for Real Madrid with no stress. Moreover, as you mentioned, Real Madrid is better than them in terms of strength and many other aspects.

Real Madrid must take this game seriously because the way they have performed so far, it may not be entirely certain that they will win against Salzburg. Moreover, the most important aspect for Real Madrid is that if they lose unexpectedly against Salzburg, they may not be able to go to the next round of the Champions League. Real Madrid is a very strong team in La Liga but Real Madrid is not a strong team in Champions League. They are 20th in the Champions League standings, Real Madrid are currently far behind in the Champions League. Also, you mentioned that Real Madrid will be playing at their home ground against Salzburg, maybe this will give their players more confidence.
