UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[SOKO-DEKE]

You were right and Barcelona drew with Atalanta, but Barcelona tried and played great, but Atalanta played one of their best games in a while and Ederson's goal was just great, real soccer art.

I think if Szczesny had played better and not missed the ball between his legs, Barcelona could have won, but they still helped Real not to go out, which means that at least there was no contractual game here and everyone played to their full potential.

Barcelona played without any burden in this match, because even if they get any result, their position is really safe to be in the last 16. Atalanta who had to accept the fact that they had to be in the play-off round after failing to get a win in this match. Yes, the draw they got only made them in 9th position, only one rank below the safe position to be in the last 16.
They worked hard, but their hard work was not enough to make them safe because the opponents they faced were also not that easy to beat.

Barcelona tried their best in this match, though Atalanta did well too, and they tried their best to see that they win the match, but unfortunately it ended in a draw. I think this could be a very good result for them if they win the match, although the result did not affect Barcelona since their position in the table is still okay. But Atalanta were trying their best to see that they win so they will qualify. But you are right; they can still do better in the coming round. Since they are not a weak team.

Both teams were in good form, so this was the kind of result I was expecting. In fact, I didn’t even expect that Barcelona would take this match so seriously, but they really did. This is especially surprising given that Barcelona had nothing to lose, even if they lost the match.

Honestly, I liked the way both teams performed the match was very interesting. Barcelona really played well at this stage, and I hope they can continue with this great form. This season’s Champions League feels a bit unusual. The teams people expected to perform well are not doing great, while the underdog teams are exceeding expectations.i can’t imagine seeing Real Madrid struggling in the Champions Leagueit’s not easy for them.

At the beginning of this season, none of us considered Barcelona as the favorite for the Champions League title. Because the performance of this team was very weak in the last season. But after Hansi Flick became the manager, Barcelona has gradually become stronger. Hansi Flick's target is the Champions League title. And Barcelona is also trying their best to do well in the Champions League.

At the beginning of the season, we considered Manchester City, Madrid and Bayern Munich as the most favorite for the title. But the performance of these three teams is quite irregular. On the other hand, Liverpool and Barcelona are playing great. However, since Madrid, City and Bayern Munich are still in the competition, it is hoped that these three teams will continue the title fight.

The most surprising thing was how Milan missed the opportunity to be in the top 8 in the last round with Dynamo Zarub, for whom this victory was very important, but despite the victory they were left out. Probably for me it was more unexpected to see Lille and Aston Villa in the top 8, and Real Madrid were still unlucky to achieve this goal, it?s bad that they will have to play additional games, but I have no doubt that they will beat their opponent, because they are in excellent shape now.

Milan is playing with 10 players, so it will be hard for them and they're not really strong, the proof is Milan not able to reach top 5 in Serie A.

Both Lille and Aston Villa are very lucky, they lucky in drawing since they meet many weak teams and they're also lucky in the match since they can beat big teams like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

It's always experienced teams that can qualify to the next round, even the big teams are in struggle, the small teams still not able to beat them.

It was a heavy misstep for Milan, i didn't expect it. Luckily i did not bet in this game because the opposing team really was absolutely within its reach.
Their coach, Cannavaro, was good at placing the team on the pitch and he managed to win against Milan.

Now i have not followed, do Milan have any problems to pass the turn? I think not, but if someone can confirm.

bad match yesterday for Milan, they took to the field convinced of an easy win since Dynamo Zagreb was almost eliminated and had little hope of being able to access the top 24 positions, but Milan had to do better, they absolutely had to win. now the road is complicated because they will have 2 matches against one between Juventus and Feyenoord. certainly not two comfortable teams

[beerlover]

Real Madrid doesn't joke with the EUFA champions league, they are always ready ro make a difference when it comes to the EUFA champions league as such any progress the make at anytime in the competition doesn't surprise me because I know what they can do as far as the said competition is concerned.
I will agree with you that mentality and experience is one of the factors that plays a major role in the performance of Real Madrid in the UEFA champions league, another thing is both team managers experience in regards to football in general and the said competition,  Carlo Anceloti is a very experienced manager, he has been able to lead Real Madrid to victory in and outside competitions so we can't in any way compare him with kompany that's still struggling with his team.
Like I always say, football is full of surprises no doubt, anything is possible yea though we can't say what will happen at the end of the competition but my question is, does Bayern look like that team that can surprise people?

Well for a while, he did look like he was, and that's the most important part, if we keep seeing people doing something different then we are usually shocked and Real Madrid was like that, because they give importance to UCL more than LA Liga probably, and even with that in mind, we have to realize that they were doing very badly. If you check just three games ago, they were not good at all, they had like 6 points in 5 games or something.

However, that is done now, they have been good and won three in a row, got to 15 points, and ranked nicely. I am not saying they will win the UCL this season, we never know what's going to happen, that could happen or maybe that won't happen, I am not entirely sure, but we are going to end up with a different result, so we need to be careful about what we can do, it is going to be quite different without a doubt. We need to realize how we could make this work, and if we are betting on them, we still need to be careful but we can totally bet on it.

[Nheer]

City made it to the play offs yesterday, albeit with difficulty, but now their job is even more difficult. It will be either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. Both teams are in better form than City at the moment. City's job is not easy at all.

It gave me the impression that it was a very simple goal, taking the ball from the midfield and striking it ostentatiously.
City are very fragile and their attacking action is not good. The balls thrown behind the defense put City under great pressure. There will be a draw on Friday, I am looking forward to seeing who will be City's king.

It was a very narrow qualification for Manchester City but the most important thing is to scale through to the next round. If a team like Manchester City gets eliminated in the early stages it is a big disgrace for them and the fans. Their performance have not been the same ever seen they suffered that streak of losses few months back but i believe gradually they will bounce back and recover from inconsistent performance. This season champions league performance have been poor but the question now is can they make it to the final of the competition because this stage is the most difficult stage where they face tougher opponents. With this their current form i cannot I doubt if they can perform well at this stage and they need to strengthen their defense properly.

But Atalanta were trying their best to see that they win so they will qualify. But you are right; they can still do better in the coming round. Since they are not a weak team.

I doubt what Barcelona played yesterday was actually their best, considering the fact they had the most ball possession and shots on target in both halves of the game, because what I felt yesterday was that Barcelona was literally just too relax and never played aggressively just same way they played with Real Madrid few days ago,which was actually a strong team. Because if Hansi Flick really meant to win yesterday's game, he would have came up with a workable strategy, as it's obvious what they wanted was a draw.

Yeah when it comes to the champions league they have more experience than any other club and that is why they are always referred to as the kings of champions league and the difference is that you can not always predict them and even last season a lot of people already thought that Dortmund will be the one to win the champions league but look at what happened during the finals ot was an unexpected surprise that Madrid win back the title and before the season starts they have already prepared there mind and that is one of the things that have always keep them going because a lot have actually happened but don't be surprised to see Madrid succeeding they are always good at doing that and this seasons champions league looks different.

Like I always say, football is full of surprises no doubt, anything is possible yea though we can't say what will happen at the end of the competition but my question is, does Bayern look like that team that can surprise people?

When it comes to the master of surprises football is one of the games that is very difficult to predict and that is why when you are gambling you have to have a different mindset because you won't even expect any win because you already know that it's a game of luck.

Teams at the level of Barcelona are not only playing to win trophies but also to set records that will stand the test of time. This is the reason they are conscious of winning the match even though they have qualified for the round of 16. They played their best team, without reserving any player and were already winning the match if not that Atalanta always have their way of equalizing any time Barcelona scored. You know that mentality is a major factor in football so assuming Barcelona did not take that match seriously and lost to Atalanta in their home, that would have affecting their psychology in the weekend match and matches to come. It was good that they did not lose the match so they will remain mentally balanced for the tasks ahead.

I predict

City vs Madrid

Milan vs Juventus

Dortmund vs Sporting

Paris vs Monaco

It's obvious one of big club will be eliminated from UCL soon. We have three big clubs played at the play-off stage, and potentially facing each other. It's gonna be a very interesting game to see City vs Real Madrid.

What's your prediction guys?

Unexpectedly, top pairs before the 1/8 finals. If the pairs were not determined by the teams' positions in the tournament table, I would think that City once again somehow influenced the draw - they always get the easiest opponents from season to season (as long as it is possible).
I don't even know what to think about the Real - Bayern pair, both teams are far from optimal form, so any little thing can affect the final result. Real will be a slight favorite, but I'm not at all sure of their victory.

[Weawant]

Because if Hansi Flick really meant to win yesterday's game, he would have came up with a workable strategy, as it's obvious what they wanted was a draw.

Another point of consideration was the importance attached to that game, seeing that loosing will cause no harm to them, they switched priority at that point,  this is my honest opinion, I'm saying this because seeing that they had most of the possession and all of the dominance,  I was expecting to see them pull off one of those epics scorelines but it was different so I could only think of it to be that they actually did attached less priority to the game. Hopefully flick gets his game better because beyond this stage it's going to be even more tedious than it has been.

I am not sure if you got this wrong, but Manchester City will guaranteed play against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. How is that evoking the feeling that Manchester City would manipulate anything? If that was the case, I doubt they would have chosen these two teams to be their opponents...

It is rather that either Bayern or Real Madrid will get away with a black eye if they play against Celtic. Manchester City is screwed no matter what during the playoffs. It means one top team will be out when the playoffs are over. For City this is the hardest possible draw out of all the playoff teams there are. There is no harder draw than this. Doesn't seem like manipulation to me even if they were able to.

[Obim34]

My prediction for this round of the UEFA Champions League is:

PSV - Liverpool: Result: draw

Dortmund - Shakhtar: Result: Dortmund

Girona - Arsenal: Result: Arsenal

Barcelona - Atalanta: Result: draw

Very good luck to everyone with their bets!.

Both teams will be constructive today, small or big club. Instead of betting them a straight draw, i rather prefer simpler option like Both teams to score.
PSV - Liverpool: BTTS

Dortmund - Shakhtar: Away (Over)

Girona - Arsenal: BTTS

Barcelona - Atalanta: BTTS

Among the above games, any are capable of ending draw, i won't do the guess by taking much risk, i play safe instead.

Unfortunately I opted for a draw and made a solid mistake in the match played yesterday between PSV and Liverpool. I didn't think that Liverpool, the league leader, would allow PSV to win the match. Although it should be noted that Liverpool essentially used this match as a practice match.

I hope to be lucky in the next prediction.

My predictions were right, this is a Champions league game and it's compulsory to see the match become very challenging. Each teams were trying to fight for a better spot knowing that all eight matches are coming to climax.

Not sure if any body picked my selections from editing yours, that was to sum nearly 5odds. Liverpool lost their game but are still first on the table, they understood the assignment not to go too hard for game knowing they already secured their position. Who knows, Liverpool might end up being the winner of this season Champions League.

[Juse14]

City made it to the play offs yesterday, albeit with difficulty, but now their job is even more difficult. It will be either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. Both teams are in better form than City at the moment. City's job is not easy at all.

It was a very narrow qualification for Manchester City but the most important thing is to scale through to the next round. If a team like Manchester City gets eliminated in the early stages it is a big disgrace for them and the fans.

With this their current form i cannot I doubt if they can perform well at this stage and they need to strengthen their defense properly.

What is quite interesting is the fight for 8 tickets to the last 16 of the play-off round, because there are several big teams such as, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atalanta, Borussia Dornund, PSG, Juventus, Manchester City, and AS Monaco. I am quite curious about which teams will qualify for the next round.

As for Manchester City, they are the only team representing the Premier League that must fight in the play-off round, because the other 3, namely Liverpool, Arsenal and even Aston Villa, are certain to qualify for the next round because the three teams were able to finish in the top 8 positions.

Barcelona tried their best in this match, though Atalanta did well too, and they tried their best to see that they win the match, but unfortunately it ended in a draw. I think this could be a very good result for them if they win the match, although the result did not affect Barcelona since their position in the table is still okay.

Because if Hansi Flick really meant to win yesterday's game, he would have came up with a workable strategy, as it's obvious what they wanted was a draw.

This is a wrong assessment. Barcelona could not win not because they were not serious or aggressive and only wanted a draw but this was all because Atalanta played very well and solidly in every line. So it is wrong to say that Barcelona is comfortable with a draw, they definitely want to be at the top to increase their confidence, only in this match they failed because Atalanta's game was very good.

Atalanta is a strong team, especially Atalanta since being coached by Gasperini. Because in my opinion Atalanta's level has increased, no longer an ordinary or middle team but a top team. From the way they play, their mentality can no longer be called an ordinary team. When facing Barcelona, ​​​​they dare to play openly, even when facing other big European teams. Atalanta has faced PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​Liverpool but they did not look inferior in the slightest in front of these teams and even dared to play openly. Last season they even managed to beat Leverkusen in the European Cup final. In fact, Leverkusen last season was a phenomenon, winning the Bundesliga without being defeated, but in front of Atalanta they could not do much. So Atalanta since being trained by Gasperini is indeed difficult to beat.

[Josefjix]

As for Manchester City, they are the only team representing the Premier League that must fight in the play-off round, because the other 3, namely Liverpool, Arsenal and even Aston Villa, are certain to qualify for the next round because the three teams were able to finish in the top 8 positions.

And do you think Manchester City would probably get to be successful in this play off because they are seeming to be struggling in their winning not at ease anymore, the 3:1 win against the Belgian top club "Brugge" yesterday was something miraculous, it was the use of champions league playing experience to scale through and also that Belgian side are underdog whenever playing in an international competition.

I am just wondering what club City would be playing with next round, their last five games has been 3 lost, 1 draw, and 1 win and I don't know if they could be able to win next game.

[Jegileman]

Barcelona tried their best in this match, though Atalanta did well too, and they tried their best to see that they win the match, but unfortunately it ended in a draw.

Because if Hansi Flick really meant to win yesterday's game, he would have came up with a workable strategy, as it's obvious what they wanted was a draw.

I doubt so also because what they were showing in that game was actually their best they could give. They didn’t go for a draw but the team they played against didn’t give them a chance to allow that to happen. Barcelona was a very good team and I think they did their best and I applaud their effort to qualify for the next round of the competition without going for the playoffs. Barcelona are playing very well in the champions league and I really don’t have a doubt about them going forward after this round. It is going to be a very tough one ahead in this competition, and Barcelona are going to prevail further and prove their dominance better.

It's obvious one of big club will be eliminated from UCL soon. We have three big clubs played at the play-off stage, and potentially facing each other. It's gonna be a very interesting game to see City vs Real Madrid.

It is rather that either Bayern or Real Madrid will get away with a black eye if they play against Celtic. Manchester City is screwed no matter what during the playoffs. It means one top team will be out when the playoffs are over. For City this is the hardest possible draw out of all the playoff teams there are. There is no harder draw than this. Doesn't seem like manipulation to me even if they were able to.

It will be difficult for City to eliminate Bayern Munich I doubt if this will be possible, Real Madrid qualifying is sure because they will definitely win Celtic to qualify to the next round so difficult game there will be Bayern Munich vs Manchester City one of this big team will definitely be going home I believe one of these team here between Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will be playing this season UEFA Champions league finals despite they qualify to the knockout stage I think they are gradually gaining back form unlike when they were playing badly.

[Raflesia]

Both teams were in good form, so this was the kind of result I was expecting. In fact, I didn’t even expect that Barcelona would take this match so seriously, but they really did. This is especially surprising given that Barcelona had nothing to lose, even if they lost the match.

The dominance that Barcelona always does in matches is unquestionable but on the other hand Atalanta's persistence also needs to be appreciated in this match and indeed as you say that these two clubs are both playing very well and they don't want anyone to lose in this match so a draw seems to be a fair enough result in this match.

On the other hand, although there are several rotations made from Barcelona, it does seem that Atalanta still needs to be wary later for dark horses after they made a surprise last season by winning the Europa League, for now in the Champions League they are also playing quite solid although a little regrettable because they cannot qualify directly because they are only in 9th position but indeed for now Atalanta needs a little attention because the surprises they do are always extraordinary.

[Ryu_Ar1]

At the beginning of this season, none of us considered Barcelona as the favorite for the Champions League title. Because the performance of this team was very weak in the last season. But after Hansi Flick became the manager, Barcelona has gradually become stronger. Hansi Flick's target is the Champions League title. And Barcelona is also trying their best to do well in the Champions League.

Maybe there are, their fans but it's not too strange actually when they are not made as championship favorites from the start because after all Flick's previous transition and their financial condition problems especially for the Champions League record that was not too good before made us a little hesitant to include Barcelona as a list of championship favorites before.

But for now that view must be changed a little in the end because seeing what is happening now Flick really shows his class, besides that Barcelona's performance is also quite stable in the Champions League even though there are still some problems that occur especially for their internal but I think that is still enough to say for now Barcelona deserves to be one of the candidates.

But for the Champions League after the knock-out phase then everything will not be easy because sometimes in the knock-out until the final phase there are always surprises that are not even expected and at this time if Barcelona wants to stay on a good track and be considered a candidate then they must continue to be consistent like in the league phase for the phase they will pass later.

[imamusma]

As for Manchester City, they are the only team representing the Premier League that must fight in the play-off round, because the other 3, namely Liverpool, Arsenal and even Aston Villa, are certain to qualify for the next round because the three teams were able to finish in the top 8 positions.

I am just wondering what club City would be playing with next round, their last five games has been 3 lost, 1 draw, and 1 win and I don't know if they could be able to win next game.

If not Real Madrid then Bayern Munich will be Manchester City next opponent in the play off round, it is clearly a very difficult opponent to handle. With inconsistent performance, Pep Guardiola clear to worry about their fate in reaching the round of 16. In my opinion, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich are also worried if they clash with Manchester City, because the match will clearly be troublesome. Regardless of all that, Pep Guardiola deserves to be grateful because he managed to lead his team to the play off round by beating Club Brugge in the last match.
