UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[EL MOHA]

Both goalkeepers in this game did well after making a combine saves of 17, it was indeed a very tough match to watch. PSG really amuse me in this match and I never knew they would hold Liverpool this much and only allowing them to score just a goal till the end of the match. The second leg will be a more competitive encounter because one goal difference is not much to put PSG under pressure and in deep thoughts of them not been able to come over Liverpool again in this round of the champions league competition. I foresee a more competitive encounter second leg from this teams, and until then, let the speculation continues for the next game outcome of this two teams.

Both Goalkeepers didn’t do well in my opinion, Allison Becker was the standout goalkeeper in my opinion and a deserved man of the match performance, he kept his team right in the game from the start to finish and even went ahead to play the long ball that actually made the goal, he made 6 goal scoring Saves and some other few rookie saves too, aside him Liverpool wouldnt even be optimistic going I fit the second leg. As for PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma I think he wasn’t at the level of Allison or even near him, he made saves which were casual and let the team down when they seriously needed him. The goal from Harvey Elliot should have been parred away and not end up in the back of the net. I bet Allison would have kept that ball out of the net.

[JiiBs]

Just as you feared Real Madrid conceded a goal making it 1:1 until B.Diaz goal in the 55th minute to restore the lead for Madrid and secure the win. While Arsenal beat PSV in a 7:1 thriller securing their next stay in the quarter finals already from the first leg. Aston Villa also won by a good margin against Brugge, so far they have really been impressive in the Champions League and I hope to see them progress futher to the semi finals.

Victories such as was seen in the Arsenal game is why, Arteta would get the impression that Arsenal doesn’t need a proper striker. It’s the same with Chelsea but, they aren’t in the Champions league for we to talk about.  PSV isn’t an easy team but, Arsenal made it look easy yesterday, every attempt to go forwarded yielded them a goal and PSV only managed to get 1 back.

Real Madrid is one team you can never rule out. It doesn’t matter if they are loosing at some point, you’ve just got to understand that they are in the game till the final whistle.

It wasn't easy for Barcelona to win away because they were matched against Benfica, who had a good season in their league. Benfica had more scoring chances in the match, but they didn't win, but they are not eliminated. They will only need an away win to qualify. Barcelona were not at their best in this match, but they managed to win.
The same can be said about PSG. PSG played well at home but couldn't defeat their opponents. They crushed Liverpool but couldn't find the goal. Liverpool were very lucky to win with Elliott's goal in the last minutes. PSG can beat them away.

Benefica is already out of the competition because Barcelona will defeat them at home. I don't see them having any hope in the second leg. This is because they had the opportunity to win Barcelona at home with a man down but they failed. They couldn't even hold on to the end of the match in order to share point. Instead, they allowed Barcelona to score and win the match.

What did you think will happpen in Camp Nuo when Barcelona will be playing with a complete squad. It's game over for Benefica, same with PSV.

I don't know why some people are arguing about Barcelona that they will lose against Benfica. Only one match with a tiny margin is not the point to deny the past progress. Barcelona already smashed Benfica in the standing caps like they have experience of their past, and I hope again they will smash them in the hometown. So I think there is no concern for Hansi Flick side they will for sure be the victors of the match.

Besides that, if we talked about the match. Barcelona played brilliantly they made some good chances but unfortunately did not get a chance to put it in the back of the net. After the red card, Barcelona switched off to defensive mode, and that's why in the second half Barcelona played a little bit sluggishly.

[Fara Chan]

Well repetition of what they played in the first leg is definitely not something that Liverpool would like to repeat because they were absolutely dreadful with their performance and I doubt that they would fall back so badly to allow PSG press them again when they play the return leg at anfield although the game would be even more tense since PSG would be wanting to get their revenge and maybe win Liverpool at home.

Almost the same condition may not happen again in the second leg, especially Liverpool who will be the host team will make a more mature preparation evaluation when welcoming the second leg at Anfield. Because Liverpool still has the ability to withstand the attacks and pressure created by PSG, but when it is directed at the PSG team I think it will be quite difficult to hold because Liverpool can use a different way to create deadly attacks in the second leg.

[KTChampions]

The statistics says it all Liverpool was just lucky in this game because with all that PSG played they could not even get a single goal but the opposite team that did little was the team that got the win

The expected goals statistics are no less astounding 2.25 - 0.25 in favor of PSG. Yes, this is perhaps the most striking example of the fact that sometimes fluctuations/randomness completely distort the "logical" result, that is, this is exactly the game where everything was decided by luck.
If you look at the situation with a cool head, everything is far from over and PSG have shown that they are capable of playing Liverpool from a position of strength, so the return game will be hot and it is unlikely that Liverpool's task will be to simply hold on to the winning score, that would be too risky.

"Sluggish " is good "unorganized " is better , they were somehow after securing 2 goals atleast and they had to defend more at the same time, it kinda cost them some dangerous counter attack after some disposessions, they were just so lucky to have Szczesny yesterday, he did almost 70% of the save and to  me he was the MVP... it's hard to play with 10 players in just 30mins not even to talk more of 70mins+ so they did tried that yesterday

PSG really amuse me in this match and I never knew they would hold Liverpool this much and only allowing them to score just a goal till the end of the match.

Amuse you as how don't you know that this a serious stage and every games counts for each step toward the title . Besides, haven't you seen PSG game recently, they were on fire  so I expected nothing less just that they were so unlucky and with what I saw yesterday I'm even beginning to doubt Liverpool getting to the Final

[Woodie]

United played fairly well and were unlucky not to have picked maximum points against Real Socidad who were awarded a penalty late on which allowed the host to get back into the game after playing catch up to level the score.

I know for sure that United need a ticket back into the Uefa champions league and winning the competition is the only way to play with the big boys.

It is never easy to play with 10 players on the field especially when they are facing a team like Benfica but once again Flick proved that the Barcelona he is coaching now is not like last season, Barcelona's defense is very good, Kounde and Martinez guard the defense line very actively, besides that Barcelona's midfield is also incredibly solid, honestly I really like the composition and also the appearance of Barcelona now.

In the second leg later Barcelona must be able to pick up a big win, there is no reason for them not to win the match easily in front of their own fans.

After seeing the course of the match in the first leg, Arne Slot will certainly change his strategy in the second leg later, carrying out a defensive game will not be effective in maintaining the advantage. However, Liverpool must be braver in attacking, while PSG does not have any other choice but to play more aggressively. Acting as the host will indeed provide an advantage for Liverpool, but in my opinion it will not guarantee that they can beat PSG. Liverpool performance yesterday was the worst apart from their defeat to PSV, even M Salah who was in his best form was also unable to do much. It is not wrong if many people say that Liverpool were lucky to win over PSG.

Anfeild is the home of Liverpool and it's not a place to exercise any form of weakness for any reason,  Liverpool is definitely not going to make it an easy game for PSG, if they made it that difficult for PSG at PSG'S home, you can only imagine what it would be having them at Anfeild where Liverpool see as their fortress and it happens to be a time when Liverpool is in their best form , they have every thing they will be needing to win this, as they have all their mainstay players in very good form, this may mark the end of the journey for PsG thos season in the UCL.

[Dailyscript]

The best season for Salah is this and he is doing his best to win the Premier League. Liverpool is at the top in the Premier League and also PSG is also leading theirs so it is two strong teams to meet tomorrow. But I am still predicting Liverpool to win this match. Normally PSG is doing well in their domestic matches but as it is now, Liverpool will not allow them (PSG ) to score. Two Champions are meeting tomorrow. We will see who will win the game tomorrow.

No doubts both teams lived up to expectations last night when they faced each other in the knockout round first leg challenge. PSG who dominated the game and pushed Liverpool so hard couldn’t find the back of the net because of Liverpool’s solid defense and Allison’s brilliance keeping Liverpool in the game enough to convert a chance created. Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the first leg tie, they can be hopeful now to repeat same energy in the second leg to qualify.

Arne Slot will not dare to repeat the same performance in the next game if they are really interested to win the league. It was a narrow escape last match. Next time PSG might not be losing any chances of scoring. They might score all the chances they have in the game. What Liverpool need is to win the next game. 1 goals doesn't make any much difference because PSG may score to make the aggregate even. It will be a very tough one for both team. They will be under pressure.

You are right Liverpool did not play well in the last game and they were lucky to win by small margin. Their coach Arne Slot will definitely work on making them play better, and they can not make  same mistakes again in next game. Next time PSG may be take advantage of every scoring chance they get so Liverpool will need to defend better to stop them from scoring. It is very important for Liverpool to win next game because being ahead by only one goal is not safe and can easily change. They both definitely feel a lot of pressure and it is going to be very exciting game.

Many people disliked Barcelona going to the next round because they are fans of Real Madrid. We really understand the situation, and it has happened many times in previous tournaments. Benfica is playing well, but they can't stop Barcelona attackers at the moment because they play really offensive and can not execute the many advantages. They should have utilized that shortage, but out of classed Barcelona player. Benfica should not expect much on the second leg because on Camp Nou, Barcelona will appear more impressive in front of the fans. Better for Benfica to use the Parking Bus strategy then utilize the counterattack to find a gap on center back.

The winning of the match by Barcelona after Pau Cubarsi was sent off just 22 minutes into the match, is something great and a confirmation that Barcelona indeed have a wonderful team. When Benfica comes to Camp Nuo, they will not find it funny because Barca will be playing with their complete team and also enjoying home advantage. Since Benfica does not give up easily, they will still summon courage to fight one more time but I don't think such efforts will yield any serious results. The worst that can happen to Barcelona that day will be a draw which is still a win for Barcelona as they will qualify for the next round.

There have been a couple of teams that didn’t care if you were at your home or not, you just do good not to conceive more and I’m speaking in terms of Barcelona, Real Madrid and just quite recently, Manchester City which has fallen out of favor. Do we still have those teams again in Barcelona and Real Madrid?
Barcelona have been a talk on so many lips with the likes of Yamal always cooking something for the rest of the team.

PSG doesn’t seem to be that team that doesn’t care about your home. I’ll like to see them try, given that they were haunted by bad luck in this encounter and lost, I’ll like to see them try to fix that at the Anfield. I couldn’t find Salah in that fixture, they made Salah just go away irrelevantly!

Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the first leg tie, they can be hopeful now to repeat same energy in the second leg to qualify.

I guess Liverpool will not forget what they experienced from the hands of PSG in that first leg, PSG played Liverpool from the beginning till the end of the game but no opportunity for them to break into Liverpool goalpost because Liverpool have talented defenders and goalkeeper. Liverpool still have the opportunity to win the second leg, if they can make their defense more stronger than the first leg, but any little mistakes from Liverpool in this second leg, PSG will draw the game because they are good in penalty shootout.

Arsenal will still win their second leg today because they did well in the first leg, which they are still going to do better to cross to the next stage. Real Midred and Atletico Madrid will going to be tough game, which Atletico Madrid will not going to give them any opportunity to beat them in this second leg.

[Polkeins]

PSG were dominant so do not need to change tactics. They can win the game in England if the play the same way. PSG deserved to win they had 27 shots on target. Liverpool had 2 but scored against the run of play.

Liverpool was very lucky to have escaped with this win and what a much more desired win it was, given the way PSG was dominant all game. You almost wouldn’t see Liverpool getting anything out of this match, not even in the statistics. They performed poorly on an over all, much you would accredit to the fact that, PSG was playing from home and are much more experienced than you would say for Liverpool with so much quality on their team. Even with all that, Liverpool somehow found the net and sealed the game in a 0:1 game win.

Alisson Baker had probably the best game of his career yesterday, as fending off 27 shots and not conceding a goal is a huge accomplishment.
In terms of possession PSG also completely dominated and had 71% of the ball possession in the first half, in the second half Liverpool slightly improved the situation, but still the dominance of PSG was absolute, so much so that Salah could not make a single shot on goal, which has not happened for a long time and it is strange that Arne Slot did not replace him earlier.
I guess if Liverpool play the same way in the next game, they can't avoid defeat. Ali

Alisson Baker was the man of the match yesterday. His performance was out of this world yesterday. Every moment i expect a goal he just punched the ball out.
PSG was really unlucky to have played against a good keeper like that. Next leg they have to do better if they want to put the ball at the back of Allison Baker goal post.
Salah yesterday was disappointment  because he never got the chance to play better. He made some inaccurate passes which perhaps might have been a goal scoring opportunity. Arne Slot understand this in the second half and took him out of the game.

We must also give credit to Mendes, who played personally on Salah and did not let him turn on the field, constantly pressed and it felt that such guardianship for Salah was a big surprise, because usually Salah manages to get away from defenders and escalate the attacking action. So now Slot has to think what to do in the next match, if Mendes will play, he will also shut Salah out of the game.

For psg to progress to the next round of the competition, they must take the game to Liverpool at Anfield, they should play with more audacity and aggression, because this Liverpool side is very good at home, so if psg really want to make it to the next round, they must chase the game, and it doesn't matter if they do it in the stadium of Liverpool, they must take the fight to this Liverpool side, because the game is still very open, it's just a one zero winning, so if psg can win one zero in this reverse fixture, it might goes into penalty shoot out, but if they win convincingly, they will progress to the next round of the competition, but anything that makes them fail to win this game, they will be gone, so a winning is a must for this psg side in the reverse fixture of this game if they must qualify for the next round of the competition.
As for the arsenal game, I am very sure that it over for psv, losing seven one on their own turf shows that they aren't good enough to be in the competition in this stage that they are currently in, so in my own opinion, I think that it over for this psv side, and arsenal should not feel too relax in this upcoming reverse fixture if not they might get the shocker of their lives, they should have it at the back of their minds that this is the uefa champions league, nothing is impossible.

With what you said I assume you understand the game of football very well and I believe you also know that Liverpool is at advantage as it is right now, having said that, I want you to know something thats if you don't know that already, Liverpool wouldn't be relaxing in that match, by now I believe that liverpool manager have seen their lapses in that match which I believe that he wouldn't want it to repeat itself again, when it comes to the champions League competition, you can't compare Liverpool with PSG, I know one will say that was then yea but even if it was then, the history keep repeating itself, may be we arent taking some records into consideration, in there last 3 meetings both teams managed to get 1 home winning each before Liverpool  current 1 goal victory against them from away, with this analysis I don't think Liverpool is going to giveup on the returning leg though am expecting a fierce battle between the two teams in that match but am a bit convinced that Liverpool will qualify to the next stage, Liverpool understands this game, though they were lucky to have gotten the goal which came as a surprise to many as such some persons were saying that they don't deserve it based on the fact that PSG performance was very impressive but football is not judged that way, what matters is how able an individual team is to utilize their chances.

As for PSV, I have nothing to say about them because there's no miracle that will save them from packing their load so thats a settle case for arsenal to easily move to the next level.

You are right Liverpool did not play well in the last game and they were lucky to win by small margin. Their coach Arne Slot will definitely work on making them play better, and they can not make  same mistakes again in next game. Next time PSG may be take advantage of every scoring chance they get so Liverpool will need to defend better to stop them from scoring. It is very important for Liverpool to win next game because being ahead by only one goal is not safe and can easily change. They both definitely feel a lot of pressure and it is going to be very exciting game.

it is true that their 2nd leg will definitely put the 2 teams under high pressure, of course at this time Arne Slot needs to have a good strategy to be able to stop PSG's attacks which are always sharp and of course this will not be easy for Liverpool and indeed if Arne uses a defensive strategy of course it is also very good as long as Liverpool's back line players need more and of course must have better performance than their last match against PSG and actually in that match that has passed if only the goalkeeper was not Alisson, of course Liverpool would have the potential to concede a lot of goals but fortunately Alisson played well which finally PSG had difficulty scoring goals.

at this time it is certainly not safe for Liverpool and of course both teams will fight it out in the 2nd leg later. of course many also predict that Liverpool will win and many of my friends also favor Liverpool to be the favorite team in that match. but if I seem to favor PSG to win in the next match Luis Enrique will definitely make a better strategy in the next match.
