UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Farma]

Liverpool managed to beat manchester city in their last league match with a very impressive performance, as well as PSG who still maintain their status as an unbeaten team in ligue 1 at this time,but does that show PSG is stronger than Liverpool in the UCL at this time?
Of course no bro, Liverpool and PSG have a very good and consistent mentality in domestic league, but if we compare the performance and mentality of the two teams of course Liverpool is much better than PSG when played in UCL, indeed PSG has shown their savagery by destroying Brest with an aggregate of 10-0, but at least we need to look logically at the gap that occurs between PSG and Brest at this time both in terms of squad quality and team performance, so indeed I agree more if we say Liverpool is the favourite can win in the match although maybe PSG will make it difficult for them later.

Of course Liverpool are more favored to win the match when they meet PSG in the Champions League because the competitive level of the teams in the Premier League is very different from the competitive level of the teams in Ligue 1. So it is quite natural for many people to be more confident in Liverpool than in PSG because even though both are teams that are currently ranked first in their respective leagues, Liverpool has more ability in terms of beating any opponent at this time.

If we compare the two leagues, of course everyone sees Liverpool as the favorite to advance to the next round, especially Liverpool who are more experienced and have also won the Champions League, of course Liverpool's mentality is better than PSG, but in my opinion it is not strong enough to carry out the task of defeating PSG because this team has a very productive performance, it can be seen when they beat Brest with a score of 7-0 and it was made with different players, with this we can conclude that PSG is not an easy opponent for Liverpool, especially since PSG has also defeated the English League representative team, namely Man City, of course their playing style is not too different and PSG is very likely to conquer Liverpool.

 PSG has very sharp players especially Dembele who is currently starting to show his quality and also their latest recruits have also played a role in some of their current matches and PSG can play from anywhere they have scored goals from any side because the players that Enrique currently has are very brilliant, Liverpool is currently one of the favorite teams to become Champions this season with their performance but for me they will get a surprise from PSG because if you look at Liverpool's game they only rely on one direction which is Salah and if PSG can cover well then the possibility of Liverpool not scoring a goal is very possible, because hoping for their striker Darwin is something that cannot be explained and my prediction is that PSG will win.

Not only in the domestic league, Liverpool is a team that has managed to be at the top of the Champions League qualifying round. Liverpool has only lost 1 out of 8 matches, while PSG has a different situation. The first leg will take place at PSG's home ground, not meaning it will be a big advantage for PSG, but it will be a match that will be quite difficult for both teams. If Liverpool can win the first leg by a margin of 2 goals, they will be quite comfortable in the second leg when playing at home and can ensure a ticket to the next round.

Since being handled by Arne Slot, Liverpool has become the club that other teams avoid the most because its strength is very difficult to match. PSG were very unlucky to face Liverpool, even though they started the first leg at their home ground, Liverpool were still the favorites.
I don't consider PSG a weak team, they can also make a surprise and I also believe anything can happen as long as the match is still going on, but with the strength that Liverpool currently has, it is very difficult to beat them.

It seems that PSG's luck is not like when they were in the Playoff match by meeting Liverpool in the last 16. We know how PSG benefited when facing Brest, they slaughtered Brest with an aggregate of 10-0.
But now PSG has to face a strong team that of course, they can't rely on their luck this time. Even many people think that on paper Liverpool will win.
PSG is not a weak team, but with what Liverpool is showing right now, I hope there are no surprises in the last 16. Liverpool has a good chance for some trophies this season with Slot.

Arne Slot fielded a second string squad in the final League Phase match against PSV, which resulted in their defeat. In my opinion, if Arne Slot had not rotated his squad, we might have seen Liverpool leading the standings with 24 points. Meanwhile, PSG had a very hard time reaching the round of 16, so it is natural that they are not the favorites when facing Liverpool. Of course, I don't mean to underestimate PSG, but on paper Liverpool are more worthy of being the favorites.

The second string squad were fielded in that fixture because it was obvious they had almost nothing to loose if they don’t gwt to win that game so it was just ideal rotational technique was applied in that fixture as it did helped in the future fixture after that. I'm believing that Liverpool is going to have their main starting 11 against PSG because a whole lot is at stake in that particular fixture if Liverpool should loose it.

I did not pay attention to the line up of that match that was why I can say I betted the match blindly in favor of Liverpool. My thinking was that they will play their main team to maintain a clear record of ending at the top of the champions league table and also maintaining a clean record in the champions league. Its just not nice that they reserved their players for the English premier league yet they ended up playing draw after losing the champions league to PSV and this made me lose both ways.

This upcoming game between psg vs Liverpool is a game I will be looking up to because it's actually going to be a fascinating encounter to watch, and even though psg came from the back of winning by10-0 in their playoff  tie against Brest, they are still the underdog against Liverpool because in this year uefa champions league, Liverpool Barcelona and inter Milan are the three teams that are on fire, so I believe that Liverpool are a step above psg in terms of firepower, quality and experience, so I believe that the most likely winner in this coming up fixtures is Liverpool.

And Another game that I will be seriously looking up to is the game between Bayern Munich vs Bayern Leverkusen, this game is a game that can keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the 90th minutes, it's a game I can't miss for anything, though I favours Bayern Munich to win this game but it's an open game, so I wouldn't be 100% sure that Bayern Munich will scale through because anything can happen.

The last match of the first  stage of the cchampions league was not important for Liverpool. Even then , Liverpool was able to perform very well even with the second-tier squad . And you are right that Liverpool will play against PSG with their main squad. We also  saw in yesterday's match against manchester city that liverpool's boys played great. Liverpool's players are in good form and Arne Slot's match strategy is also very good. Liverpool's squad is  also stronger and more experienced than PSG . So the chances of PSG winning this match are very low. psg will not win this match unless they are very lucky.

Of course, I don't mean to underestimate PSG, but on paper Liverpool are more worthy of being the favorites.

For the last match some time ago it was actually quite reasonable when Slot did that because regardless of the results, their position was comfortable enough so they preferred to rest their players so that apart from their performance being maintained, this was also good for making some players who still haven't gotten the time they deserve, especially young players, get something different.

But in the end for now things like this seem to be reduced a little because after all for the last 16 they won't play around with rotation considering their opponents are also not a club that can be underestimated because after all for now PSG is still one of the big clubs even though they are currently in a transitional state for their young players so Liverpool clearly won't play around to perform in the last 16 this time.

Despite losing their last group stage game of the season, Liverpool were still able to finish the group stage at the top with 21 points which was 2 points better than second placed Barcelona. I think Arne Slot decided to rotate his squad because he knew they'll stop top with a defeat and because they've got more difficult fixtures coming after the game against PSV. Winning that game would helped them become the first club to win all their group stage games in the UCL in the new format -A record that would've been very difficult to be matched or broken by other clubs in the future but at the end, it didn't have much negative effect on their campaign in the European Cup this season. They face Paris Saint Germaine next in the round of 16 and even when I know it'll be a very difficult game for both sides, I expect the English club to progress at the expense of their French opponents

[Velvet78]

Let's have a look...



I see a Real Madrid - Liverpool semi final draw already there.    Nobody to stop Liverpool until then. PSG destroyed Brest but we are talking about Liverpool here. PSG aren't strong enough to eliminate them surprisingly.

On the other side, I believe the semi final matchup would be Barcelona - Inter. It would be such a tough one to predict. I don't want to underestimate Inter. I assume Barcelona would make it by close margin then.

And an El Clasico in the finale... This is my prediction for now.

I agree that currently Liverpool could be more favorites in the match against PSG. Because we can clearly see that statistically Liverpool's performance in the UCL this season is indeed the best among all the existing teams. The proof is that Liverpool led the standings in the previous phase quite easily. It's just that in the last 16 the match tension will be very different. All teams will fight harder and be more careful too. Sometimes Liverpool themselves will play more cautiously and the match is sometimes not as aggressive as in the previous phase.  But the excitement and fierceness will definitely be felt strongly. And yes, Liverpool will certainly also field their best squad. Because in the previous match against PSV, Liverpool did not play their best squad at that time because their position was already safe. But in the round of 16 and beyond, all matches will be treated like a final.

[KTChampions]

The first game that will take place in Paris from the bookmakers' point of view looks like this:

2.38 - 3.45 - 2.92

As you can see, PSG is a slight favorite and it is hard to disagree with this. PSG are a strong team and I wouldn't be surprised if they go further and not Liverpool. That's why I see some value in the odds on who qualifies: Liverpool 1.53 PSG 2.34. Liverpool haven't achieved anything yet for the odds to be so unbalanced.

Some bettors may not agree with the favorite team as they see Liverpool as more dominant especially seeing the current performance that was able to beat Manchester City some time ago, but it could be that the bookies change the odds when the match is close.
Indeed, PSG is a strong team, maybe this time it is a little different from our view that PSG is not capable of being in the UCL, maybe this time it will be a little different.

The odds change quite rarely (by a significant amount), even if Salah gets injured or misses the game for another reason, these odds will be almost the same. I am increasingly liking the idea of ​​betting at least on PSG double chance. Everyone is fascinated by Liverpool, but they are far from dominant, they have results, but nothing more.

[Pokapoka124]

Champions League matches are difficult to predict, your predictions look great and might happen because you predicted based on the team’s current form and their quality of players, but just as the group stage happens where many big teams were surprised by small teams they underrated, we might have similar results in the knockout stage because we can’t underrate any team that have putting in more effort to make it to this stage of the competition.

However, experience will count now; teams with more Champions League experience will have upper hand over small teams with less experience.

When it comes to competing in the Champions League every team is up to the task and shouldn’t be underrated, we all witnessed Dortmund getting to the finals of the Champions League last season so anything is possible. However, experience also matters and will play a huge role in the competition for teams who have been competing at this level. For teams like Madrid who seem to know how to win games in the competition of course they have a huge advantage and are my favourites to win.

[Olatundespo]

Liverpool is playing an easy match, PSG isn't in a good form to be a perfect match for them. Liverpool will definitely win PSG, and advance to the quarter finals because they have been the best club so far in the group stage. PSG wouldn't be a hinderance to them, since PSG is not that too good in UCL matches. I give Liverpool the victory both at home and away.

I think you too underestimate PSG. Don't you see PSG performed better recently? Considering their great performance against Brest, I am not sure Liverpool will easily defeat PSG. I even think PSG can eliminate Liverpool if PSG can win in Leg 1. You must be aware that Leg 1 will be in PSG home. It will be an advantage for PSG because they will have a chance to get a good start. Meanwhile for Liverpool, it will be a challenge because they will play away. Sometimes, the atmosphere of the stadium can bring big impact on the performance of the teams.

Liverpool managed to beat manchester city in their last league match with a very impressive performance, as well as PSG who still maintain their status as an unbeaten team in ligue 1 at this time,but does that show PSG is stronger than Liverpool in the UCL at this time?
Of course no bro, Liverpool and PSG have a very good and consistent mentality in domestic league, but if we compare the performance and mentality of the two teams of course Liverpool is much better than PSG when played in UCL, indeed PSG has shown their savagery by destroying Brest with an aggregate of 10-0, but at least we need to look logically at the gap that occurs between PSG and Brest at this time both in terms of squad quality and team performance, so indeed I agree more if we say Liverpool is the favourite can win in the match although maybe PSG will make it difficult for them later.

You made a fascinating comment that PSG brutally defeated Brest by a huge margin. I agree with you that we should probably see the margin between these two teams in a logical way. Both teams respect each other in the domestic league and both teams deserve to win. This is due to their attacking football and they are very strong mentally. Liverpool have been performing impressively this season and they have been at the top for several months and are still eleven points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Arna Slott may be ready to take the upcoming match between PSG and Liverpool more seriously. He may have clearly warned the players in the meantime. There may be a complacency among them after beating Manchester City with a great performance but it would not be right to take PSG lightly.

For teams like Madrid who seem to know how to win games in the competition of course they have a huge advantage and are my favourites to win.

In the previous round Real Madrid played very inconsistently. And some are even starting to doubt Real Madrid this season. And sometimes I also have the same thoughts. But in the end, Real Madrid always proves that they cannot be underestimated even though they are not at their best. And now everyone seems to be starting to think positively about Real Madrid again. And yes, in fact, all of those who are still alive today in the last 16 are all strong teams and none of them can be underestimated. because yes, a big surprise could even happen when one of the most favored teams could even stop their progress in the round of 16. And things like that actually happen quite often. Dortmund last season made a big surprise. And they were previously very unfavourites. But yeah anything can happen here.

We still farrrrrrrr away from the semi final. The better to talk about how entertaining quarter final will be. We will have Barcelona - Dortmund, Real Madrid - Arsenal, Liverpool - Brugge, and Bayern - Munich Intermilan.

I'd prefer to see Barcelona - Bayern pair instead of Barcelon - Inter. It will be very nostalgic if we remember back the days when Barcelona destroyed by Munich. I hope that days will come again, and probably this season.

I support your hope to see Madrid and Liverpool in the semi-finals. But for Barcelona and Inter, I think I disagree a little. Munich and Leverkusen were big surprises in the match and I also won't underestimate anyone but what worries me a little is Leverkusen who have great spirit at the moment.
If Munich or Leverkusen will qualify and have to face Inter, I'm sure Inter will not be easy to qualify for the semi-finals. But if Munich will qualify and face Inter, I believe Inter can qualify.

El Clasico in the final? That's Madrid's victory bro.

[Pokapoka124]

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - Why do these teams have to meet the Spanish League team again, it's not challenging enough although I know it will be an interesting match but we have seen this match many times in LaLiga.

Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen - Last week we saw this match and they meet again in the same champions league almost said above less interesting if the opponent is a Bundesliga team again.

The other matches are still good though, as they are against clubs from different leagues.
But either way we'll be happy with the draw.

It is the draws and it is said that it is drawn independently without bias so I would say it is fate that these teams get to match again. On many occasions in the champions league draws we have seen Real Madrid meeting Manchester City. I’m sure Guardiola and a host of City supporters have grown tired of playing Real Madrid already.

[bitgolden]

I do not care if Liverpool did great this season, I do not care if Real Madrid looks like they turned things around, I do not care PSG beat Brest 7-0, no team will have an easy path to win.

I do not care if it even looks like a huge team is facing of a small team, in UCL anything could happen and we have seen that plenty of times at league stage as well, so we can't really consider this as unlikely, anything could happen and we should be worried about the whole thing if we are not careful. I know that it is going to be a tough one, but we could make this work and we should be considering how things could change as well. I know it is a tough period to be in, but we could make it work one way or another, and we need to be careful about it.

[sana54210]

Betting is sort of tough during this period, because teams are a lot more careful, most teams basically play not to lose, instead of winning, so I am guessing "under" is a good bet in most cases, while I am sure there will be plenty of over, but I think picking 2.5 and playing under could be very well the case in this stage.

Specially the first games, because in most cases, even the home teams wants to make sure that they do not lose first, that is the most important part, if you do not lose, then you leave it all for the second game, have another chance at it, hence that would make more sense. Obviously not every single game will be like that, we are surely going to see some teams play and do a lot better, that has to be very important.

When I looked at the table for some reason I eliminated Inter directly, of course Inter will be the favorite in the Feynoord match, what will happen afterwards is very difficult. There is a high probability that we will see El-Clasico in the final, such a Champions League final would be really enjoyable.

Liverpool can be an obstacle for Real Madrid. I think Barcelona will advance to the final more easily, of course this is the Champions League, you never know what will happen, never know which team will eliminate which team.

For Real Midred, I guess they will get to final in this tournament, but Liverpool will not going to make it to final because there are some strong teams from Italian and la Liga that will cause some teams not to qualify for final. I know Liverpool are doing perfectly well in the premier league game  that is making them to be toping the table from the beginning till now, and there is a hope for them to lift the premier league trophy if they  keep the winning habit till the end of the tournament.

It will be difficult for la Liga team to meet each other in the final, and if Barcelona meet Real Midred in the final game, it will end for the favour of Barcelona because Barcelona has proven their strongest in many games to beat Real Midred in this season, but if Real Midred and inter Milan meet in the final, I have that confident that Real Midred will manage to win the trophy.
