UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Litzki1990]

Liverpool this season has performed amazingly, they performed well in the Premier League and showed the same thing in the Champions League. But that also cannot be a benchmark, because their meeting with Paris Saint Germain could show a surprise. However, they must be careful with Paris Saint Germain, despite their performance not being better than Liverpool, they are still one of the big teams that are always in this Champions League. Apart from that, Paris Saint Germain's motivation in this match may also be very big.

Frankly, I think Liverpool is the favorite against Paris Saint-Germain. Because Liverpool is the biggest favorite in the Champions League this year. They played magnificently in the match against Real Madrid. In my opinion, Liverpool will show us why they are the favorites with their effective play against Paris Saint-Germain. Of course, Paris Saint-Germain is not a small team. We can say that it will be fun to watch this match.

It is undeniable that Liverpool is the team that is more favored in this match, including me also making them the favorite to win and advance to the next round. However, in football, it cannot be a 100% guarantee because there are many factors that will affect it. What is clear is that Liverpool is now on top to be able to win the match. However, once again, I hope they are not too complacent with their current status, because if they are complacent with the existing situation, then it could be a problem that will harm them.

At least in the Champions League, Liverpool can't be compared to PSG. Liverpool have been performing well this season and their performance is not only limited to the Premier League but they have been able to perform well since the start of the Champions League. On the other hand, if we discuss about PSG, then this team's limitation is only in the local league, PSG is a team that has always performed poorly in the tournaments outside the local league. 
Although PSG still survives to the Super Sixteen, I don't think they can overcome this hurdle to qualify for the quarter-finals. Liverpool are doing well this season if you compare Liverpool with Inter Milan, Real Madrid Manchester City Bayern Munich and all these tough teams.

Yes, you are right. Playing the first match in France will give Paris Saint-Germain an advantage. Also, statistics show that the advantageous score in the first match usually has a better effect on the return match. Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain will definitely want to win the first match at home and will do their best for this. The coach should work on Liverpool's weaknesses and do exercises in this direction. I feel that it will be an enjoyable match and will make us feel the pleasure of the Champions League.

If Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of the first leg to win the match, it will be much easier for them to qualify for the next round. But the problem is that Liverpool has a fairly dangerous attack line so Paris Saint-Germain must be able to dampen the attacks that Liverpool players are trying to build. A victory with a small score will not give Paris Saint-Germain an advantage, especially if the match ends in a draw.

It is difficult to predict this match because both teams have the same chances, only Paris Saint-Germain is slightly more favored because they are playing at home. It is interesting to watch the match because both teams will definitely show their best qualities to win the match.

The five teams that have never won the UCL are
1. Arsenal
2. Bayern Leverkusen
3. Atletico Madrid
4. Club Brugge
5. PSG
Does anyone hope they are champions this season? I don't because I hope Madrid will be champions again this year.

You are right and even though the past result is not indicative of the present and future performance, it's obvious that those listed clubs would likely fail again this season. The UCL is not for weak clubs even if they are doing better in their respective local leagues. As things stand now, almost all of them are holding their positions below the first 3 best-performing clubs aside from Arsenal.

Well, anything can happen with Arsenal this season because we can't ascertain tomorrow, but it's highly likely that Liverpool, Barcelona or Inter will lift the trophy.

[Jatiluhung]

Of the 16 clubs that qualified for the knockout phase, I saw that there were 5 teams that had never won the UCL. Their best achievement is as a runner up.  This period is a good opportunity but it seems that it will be difficult to win with the current condition of the team they have. In addition, the opponents they face are teams with good player statistics.

The 5 teams' achievements are that they have won runners-up and of course that is also a good thing for money, but of course it is not satisfying if you have never experienced such a thing as winning a trophy. Yes, of course this season there is an opportunity for them to make their dreams come true and of course if one of the 5 teams wins the UCL trophy, of course it is not a problem for me because the most important thing is that the best club will be the champion.

but in my opinion it also feels like those 5 teams of course I have a feeling that they will not win the title because of course there are many strong teams which of course can be said to have better performance than those 5 teams, like Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid. but in my opinion, if PSG still has Mbappe in it, I predict that PSG will become a tough rival for the UCL team and PSG's attacks will definitely be stronger and of course it is not impossible that PSG this season will become champions if for example Mbappe is still defending PSG.

Arsenal are still a loser I'm afraid. I don't think they will find their way further the quarter finals. You know, the probable team they will face in that stage is Real Madrid. 

Leverkusen? I think the same. Let's say they got past Bayern Munich. They will most probably face Inter next time.

Atletico Madrid... They had better find a way to eliminate Real Madrid first.    It'd be a big surprise to me if they do.

I respect Club Brugge's effort so far. But most likely they will face Liverpool in case of reaching the quarter finals. So it means end of the road. Lastly PSG... I'm afraid their chance against Liverpool is really low. Arne Slot's team is hard to be eliminated. Only Real Madrid and Barcelona look like the ones which can do the job.

You can't really tell for sure you know so far as football is concern anything can happen, though considering the performance of this above mentioned teams of course thier possibility of winning the champions league this season is 0%. But I think leverkusen, psg, atletico madrid may likely surprise us this season because their performance isn't that bad at all. Well let's see how it goes with them.

• PSV vs Arsenal

The match is certain Arsenal will appear without a mainstay player who is currently still injured. This problem gives PSV the opportunity to be able to beat Arsenal in the first leg.

• Munich vs Leverkusen

Currently the performance of both teams is almost equal. But when Munich faced Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, it was very obvious that Munich utilized its defense and focused on a draw. So Leverkusen can still have a chance to steal a bigger aggregate score if they are able to maximize their attack line.

• Madrid vs ATM

Most people doubt Madrid in this match. Because from several previous meetings Madrid seemed to have difficulty defeating ATM. While we forget that Madrid has great experience in UCL which gives Madrid a + value to be able to qualify for the next round.

• Club Brugge vs Aston Villa

Club Brugge is still a team that is difficult to predict when playing at home like a top team in its performance. While Aston Villa also has almost the same performance and must be careful not to concede a large number of goals in the first leg.

• PSG vs Liverpool

I won't say too much about this match because Liverpool are already guaranteed to beat PSG in the first leg and even the second leg.

In conclusion, from the 5 teams you mentioned there are 2 teams that I think can qualify from the round of 16. But I will not say that these 2 teams (Leverkusen and Club Brugge) can qualify for the final round. Because I hope Madrid can stand in the final round.

Well, anything can happen with Arsenal this season because we can't ascertain tomorrow, but it's highly likely that Liverpool, Barcelona or Inter will lift the trophy.

Arsenal should beat PSV, but I thought the same when I wrote about Juventus, it is obvious that PSV is a strong enough team and in the Eredivisie they are also in the same place as Arsenal in their championship. In case of success, the next opponent will most likely be Real, and this may be too difficult for Arteta, so I do not expect Arsenal to achieve much in the Champions League.

~Snip~

Maybe he still hasn't seen how Real Madrid's attack is in the Champions League which has even been proven with the 15 trophies that Real Madrid has won. I also quite agree with what you said because Atletico Madrid sometimes makes their defense more solid, but it will not be impossible for Real Madrid's attackers to break down when they face each other in the Champions League. So in this case I am also still more confident in Real Madrid in terms of winning the match than Atletico Madrid even though Atletico is in their best condition this season.

The 15 trophies won by Real Madrid prove that they are the most successful team in this competition, but it should be underlined that each trophy was not won every consecutive season, meaning that Madrid can still be defeated because they have also failed before. This season Real Madrid experienced a slight decline in performance, the proof is they had to fight to qualify for the last 16 through the play-off round. Luckily for them because Man City is also in the worst period during Guardiola tenure as coach.
After the first leg is over, it can be predicted who has the greatest chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

[red4slash]

I think people are sleeping on Atletico Madrid this season, they have a solid squad and a great coach, they could make a deep run in the UCL, especially if they can get their defense clicking properly.

They have a better selection of players for this season, but when it comes to the schedule, I don't think the situation will be much different as usual. If Atletico play against a club that is almost at the same level or even bigger than them, Simeone will not try to play openly and will only apply a defensive schedule as they always do in every season.

Atletico have a pretty good squad, it's just that sometimes the schedule is always unattractive, although currently Atletico are trying little by little, but obviously changes like this cannot change quickly.
It's just that assuming the current changes are quite positive then I think this match will become more interesting where this is not only a derby but also this is a good repetition for them because after all a derby with a rival club plus proving yourself will always be interesting but Madrid is still the favorite if the comparison is Atletico.

Of the 5 teams you mentioned, only Atletico Madrid and PSG have the potential to make a surprise in the Champions League this season, if we look at the performance of the two teams which are currently improving.

However, if my prediction is from the last 16 to the final, which teams will reach the final.
If we look at the UCL league chart from the journey of the last 16 to the final. For the left, on paper and their strength this season, the semifinals could be between Real Madrid vs Liverpool. for those who enter the final I can't predict because anything can happen, because the chances are 50:50. But if we talk about mentality, Real Madrid is still the favorite, even though in the group phase Liverpool managed to beat Real Madrid, in the knockout system Real Madrid's mentality will be different.
For the right, I predict the semifinals between Barcelona vs Bayern Munich, but it could be between Barcelona vs Inter. And for the final, the chances are Barcelona, ​​Bayern ​​Munich, and Inter between 45:30:25.

This is just on paper and their performance so far. But later the predictions can change over time due to various reasons such as player injuries and so on.

I think Arsenal will be able to get through this round, but for the next I am not sure if Arsenal can go far even though the opponent they will face is Real Madrid. Regarding Real Madrid, this is also not certain even though Atletico Madrid are not favored to qualify against Real Madrid.
Maybe in terms of betting, I will ignore the bet on choosing to win between PSV and Arsenal because I have lost my bets very often because of Arsenal matches.

But I think leverkusen, psg, atletico madrid may likely surprise us this season because their performance isn't that bad at all. Well let's see how it goes with them.

If you look at the performance of the three teams, that means you also have to look at the performance and strength of the team they will face in the last 16 of the Champions League. Because in terms of probability, PSG will find it difficult to beat Liverpool who are currently still consistent in winning the matches they face. Likewise with Leverkusen who will meet directly with their fellow countrymen, Munich, because this season Munich has been a little better than Leverkusen. As for Atletico Madrid, maybe their match will be quite fierce, but I am still not sure that Atletico will beat Madrid with a big score.

It is really a good thing for a team that hasn’t won the title before to reach the knockout stage to pursue their dream of winning it. Had it been that Real Madrid has been eliminated by Manchester City then the hopes of winning it would have been high for these teams because Manchester City has not been playing well this season and it is possible for any team to challenge them and win them but now they have to hope that Real Madrid doesn’t reach the finals if they want to have a chance of winning.

All the above mentioned clubs are in top form this season so they have a chance of winning but they will have to face themselves and only one team will win it so they will have to eliminate each other. PSG, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal and Leverkusen are all in good form this season but still the favorites to win are still Liverpool or Real Madrid. It’s still very early to predict who will win the title this season.

The dream final should be between Real Madrid and Liverpool, but unfortunately, that cannot happen this season because if both Real Madrid and Liverpool can continue to qualify, then they will meet in the semifinals, which means one of them will be eliminated before the final.

Frankly, it is very difficult to predict which teams will continue to advance to the next rounds because this season has been full of surprises, where mediocre teams have surprisingly been able to beat big teams and even qualify for the last 16. With those surprises, now many big teams have to meet in the round of 16 (Liverpool vs PSG, Real vs Atletico, and Munich vs Leverkusen), so you can be sure that one of them will definitely be eliminated early on, and this definitely increases the chances of those mediocre teams getting through to the next round.

Some of the five clubs has gone to champions League finals even if they have not won a single one, though after those days they have not made such move of nearing the finals again, Arsenal is one of the people I'm talking about, perhaps that was the biggest achievement of Arsene Wenger and after then they have a good coaches but non has repeated it again and this season is even much harder for them. Club Brugge may possibly drop out if they fixture them with any of the five, however I cannot vouch for this five because I also have the same believe as you about Madrid.

Maybe in terms of betting, I will ignore the bet on choosing to win between PSV and Arsenal because I have lost my bets very often because of Arsenal matches.

I just hope Arteta and his team are able to give their best in every match they play, regardless of winning or losing. because I also feel quite doubtful that Arsenal will last long in the Champions League competition.

And a little about the match between PSV Eindhoben VS Juventus, it is quite interesting because in that match Ivan Perišić was the main highlight. The player who was previously wasted and thrown away by Tottenham Spurs, he managed to become a savior for PSV to be able to qualify for the last 16.

And now Ivan Perišić and his team will face Arsenal in the last 16. even though they are not favored to be able to qualify for the next round, I hope Ivan Perišić and his colleagues are able to provide great resistance to Arsenal.

[giammangiato]

I understand your point fam. I know you were trying to regard Atletico Madrid a less victorious team as compared to Barcelona and Real Madrid especially when it comes to their triumphs in taking the La Liga league titles and the UEFA Champions League trophy which is absolutely true. When you talk about international competitions played by these teams, Atletico Madrid, despite becoming runner ups in three occasions have never won the Champions League trophy, they have one only once the intercontinental cup and 3 Europa League. Nationally, they've won the La Liga league title for 11 times with 10 runners up and won the Copa del Rey cup 10 times and 9 times as runners up.

When compared to the likes of Real Madrid, Madrid has won 15 UEFA Champions League trophies, two Europa league trophies, 36 La Liga league titles and 20 Copa del Rey cups while Barcelona has won a total of 5 Champions League trophies, 27 La Liga league titles and 31 Copa del Rey. Now when you put in all these figures together, it will suggest to everyone why you called Atletico a small club as compared to the other two clubs.

Exact dear fam.
I wanted to say that, then obviously u can only be happy if teams playing well and they make a nice game go on.
Unfortunately, the Champions League is then a truly demanding cup from this point of view and consequently it takes a lot of experience in managing its strength.
In order not to get to the end, push and tired.

The only team that stand a chance in winning the champions league here is Atletico Madrid but it seems they have hard luck when it comes to actually winning it. They have been to the final more than once yet they failed to win it. The way they play this season still gives hope that they can get to the finals  but I don't know if that is enough to imagine them winning the trophy. But as things may be, they can get to the final and win it this time because there is always a first time in things.

There is no way to  say for sure whether Arsenal will be able to win against PSV . We have not seen a better performance from arsenal in the last two matches of the Premierleague. One important thing is that when aarsenal start losing points , this team starts losing points consistently. So it is not possible to say for sure whether Arsenal will be able to get back on track quickly. On the other hand, the opponent psv is quite strong. If they cannot perform well, arsenal has no chance of winning against PSV.
