UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[ILuckyGuyI]

I wouldn't say that PSG were totally unlucky, rather I would even praise Liverpool’s defensive line for constantly subduing the attacking threat of the PSG attack. Despite being the top team in the ig domestic league, PSG continues to fall short on the European stage. Their inability to win the Champions League raises questions about how good they really are when paired against teams from other leagues.

Mate, even Arne Slot said they were "very, very, very lucky".

But they really had the biggest of the luck that they hold onto the game no matter what. He owes Alisson a lot surely above all else. This man saved the club single-handedly.

There is a big possibility to watch Liverpool vs Aston Villa in the quarter finals. It sounds like a regular PL game.

Of all the matches in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, Arsenal is the first club that I think has already stepped into the next round. because they were able to win with a very fantastic score in the first leg with 7 goals that they were able to create, while in the second leg they will also play as hosts. If you think realistically, then it is impossible for PSV to be able to reply to the 6 goal aggregate that has now been created. And I myself put aside the luck that can happen in football, because with the current circumstances, it seems impossible to happen.

[Shadiq]

PSG still has a chance, they have an advantage because they didn't concede too many goals in the first match. If they had lost by conceding too many goals, I wouldn't have been hopeful for them, but they can win the next match and continue on their way to the championship. Of course, Liverpool is also a strong team, but if PSG can't progress this year, it will be a bad season for them, they don't have a rival in the French league anyway, they need to show their strength in Europe

Especially with the form Liverpool are going through, winning an important match at Liverpool's home ground is one of the most difficult tasks for PSG. I don't see a big chance for PSG in the Champions League and they are a very young team with no big achievements and no experience in big matches. They are very strong in their local league, there is no team that can even compete with them. But the Champions League is not like a local league. Here they have to compete against the strong teams in their local league.

For me, this is the highest achievement for PSG. They may have to go out in the round of 16. If they can beat Liverpool at home in the second leg even after being 1 goal behind, it will be one of the rare events. Ha ha ha

[Obim34]

All match ended as predicted by most people, all big teams won the match.

Liverpool vs PSG is surprising because you judge them based on their statistics, Barcelona vs Benfica also surprising if you judge them based on their performance, playing with 10 players against 11 players was never been easy.

Nevertheless, they're all deserved with their winning, I'm happy to see there's no shitty referee who unfair and favor on one team.

You are absolutely right, in fact Luis Enrique said that Liverpool had 3 planes that were very difficult to stop, however Luis Enrique has to make a better strategy, regarding the match between Benfica and Barcelona, ​​it is worth noting that Barcelona knew how to adapt to their situation and managed to score the winning goal, the Portuguese team did not know how to take advantage of the advantage they had, it is regrettable that they did things like that, they were at home, they had everything to win and they let it pass, as for Madrid, they knew how to undermine Atlético, they beat them and left them there, now they have to play at Atlético's stadium, and it is dangerous.

If Benfica can not win Barcelona even when Barcelona was playing with red card then how can they win when Barcelona will be complete, I mean it is humanly impossible because Barcelona will so deal with them after stressing them last time and they are coming to Barcelona's home, I doubt if they will even  see any opportunity and as for Atletico de Madrid they are already gone even though they appears to be in a good form, it is not where Real Madrid is because Real Madrid always play with a different mentality when it comes to champions league, if there is a club you shouldn't joke with in champions league then is it Real Madrid.

Benfica will suffer in the hands of Barcelona next week due to their unworthy performance to cover them through this Champions League phase. If Benfica can't win Barcelona eleven to ten players at home  then they can't win Barcelona eleven to eleven players full time in Camp Nou.  Imagine if it was to be Benfica that had the red card, I wonder how the score line could have been.

Real Madrid may lose to Atletico Madrid on wednesday, if you watch their last match at Santiago Bernabeu Atletico Madrid was far the better team but Real Madrid stole the win but this time  Atletico Madrid will steal the win at Metropolitano on wednesday.

I don't know where you saw Atletico's advantage, in my opinion it was in some parts of the game in the first half, but overall Real deservedly won. The odds for the return game are almost equal:

2.54 - 3.60 - 2.68

And even this equality is most likely due to the fact that Real only needs a draw to advance. Atletico often take points from Real and can indeed win, but I wouldn't take it for granted.

PSV sucks. They played like amateur team in the UCL. They're now out from the competition as i think they have no chance anymore to scored like 7 goals without even conceded one goal in the second leg. The next leg is Arsenal's game, and obviously they're out.

I never expected PSV to performed so badly like that. They played like they were not match to the gunners. There's nothing positive showed by their squad. They have awful attack, shaky defense, and stupid goalie.

They deserved to be ruled out from the competition as there's no quality in them.

It happens sometimes, 3ven big teams do go through that ridiculous humiliation sometimes , the only problem is just  that was PSV playing at home ( I don't know what went wrong  with them ) now let's talk about PSV going to Arsenal home isn't that going to be so so ridiculous... just wondering how they made it far and I think I know , they didn't face that much of strong opponents  but fun fact , they draw PSG and Even beat Liverpool( although there was a red card) to qualify.
Now I don't know what exactly is their problem...

Now I don't know what exactly is their problem...

They have completely lost their consistency and unfortunately not only were they humiliated by Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, but in the domestic league their position at the top of the standings was also shifted by Ajax and now the gap is quite wide. With this, PSV Eidhoven seems not only going to be eliminated from the Champions League, but they also have to give up the Eredivisie title this season.

It was quite surprising when P. Bosz's team was able to beat and compete with big teams like PSG and Liverpool, especially when they eliminated Juventus in the playoffs, where in that match they were already behind Juventus in the first match, but surprisingly in the first match, PSV managed to make a comeback that made them qualify for the round of 16. But it seems that for now there is nothing more to expect from PSV for this season, they will really be eliminated by Arsenal.

[Furious 7]

For Arsenal and Bayern, I am actually quite sure that they are still very likely to qualify, especially for Arsenal who have an aggregate of 6 goals for the second leg, but in the end, for other clubs, I actually do not think they are guaranteed to qualify for the next phase in this case because the Champions League is sometimes full of surprises so we cannot say that they are certain to qualify just because of 1 leg in this case.

I think Both will qualify, it will be hard for  Leverkusen to recover that goal even though they will be at home for the second  leg... 3 goals isn't a joke yet you could be right , champions league is full of surprises we could experience something unexpected from Leverkusen but I still think Bayer will qualify  
Give automatic ticket to Arsenal, PSV is so fvked playing for second leg is like begging for more

Even though it may be a little harder on aggregate now especially for Leverkusen but that doesn't mean they can't pull off a miracle and something like this is still possible even if it's difficult.

Indeed, in this case maybe we realize that the chances for Leverkusen at this time are very difficult and may not even be able to make a difference for the second leg after being 3 goals behind but the possibility of a comeback in the end still remains as long as the match is not over because there could be a new surprise again even though the chance is small.

Barcelona is still uncertain, but there another surprise created by Leverkusen, unlike Arsenal, where even though they lose if they do not lose more than 5 goals, it will make them qualify in the end, but losing with a score like that at home clearly seems difficult to happen.

And you really think Barcelona is going to lose at home this time around after trying all their beast to secure that single goal...

Not that I expect Barcelona to lose this one but a 1-goal aggregate could mean nothing in this one as well as Liverpool going to PSG and Madrid traveling to Atletico.
A 1-goal lead will still give an advantage but this agreement is still not safe so in the end they still have to work hard if they really want to ensure qualification for the next phase of the Champions League.

We don't need to be naive even though their probability is still strong including for Barcelona but it could be a different situation when they already feel this 1 goal is safe enough for them.

Real Madrid stole the show in the first leg, they deserved the win because they was the better team to grab all three winning point. Real Madrid will not experienced in the second leg of UCL when they face Atletico Madrid ground to face them. Los Blancos are more favorite to obtain a winning following a streak winning record set against their oppositions in the UEFA Champions League. If it happens to be other League like Copa del Rey or La Liga, my thoughts will be place directly to Atletico Madrid assembling the victory but that's absolutely not happening because it's the UEFA Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti will pin all strategy to encourage a win.

[Lillominato89]

A curious figure emerged from this first round of the Champions League round of 16.

Brugge Club - Aston Villa 1-3

PSV - Arsenal 1-7

Feyenoord - Inter 0-2

The teams that eliminated the three Italians (Atalanta, Milan and Juventus) have all lost the first round of the round of 16 at home.

From here I understand that the Italian championship suffers very much and the teams are not well equipped to hold three competitions simultaneously

I understand your analysis of how the same three team that eliminated three Italian teams in the knockout playoff stage have all lost the first leg of their round of 16 ties at home but I don't think it makes the Italian Serie A less quality league. I think it's more of a coincidence that happened and if you still check, you'll see that one of the teams in the winning side in the first leg is an Italian club. I mean Inter Milan that got an away victory against Feyenoord.

Looking at the results of the first leg of these three ties you just mentioned, I think it's safe to say that losing sides are definitely going to be eliminated from competition

It may not be a low-quality championship, but the fact that out of 5 teams in the Champions League only Inter managed to access the Champions League round of 16 It says a lot about the true potential of Serie A. I think it was the first time in history that 2 Dutch teams eliminated two Italian teams
Among other things with 2 teams that in my opinion are much inferior to Milan and Juventus

The mistake Atletico de Madrid made was to allow Real Madrid win them in the first leg and sometimes what matters the most is securing the first leg points and right now Real Madrid is at a big advantage and even if it was draw they played in the match they would still do exploit in the second leg though the game is really going to be somehow because Atletico de Madrid is quite inform than Real Madrid but when it comes to champions league Real Madrid doesn't care if they are inform or not they will play like they are on drugs or as if they are the owner of the cup so right now I think Atletico de Madrid is partially out of the champions so they should just focus on the La Liga.

[SatoPrincess]

Barcelona won 1-0 despite having 10 men. Benfica could not take advantage of their opponent's absence and will most likely be eliminated.

PSG played very well but could not score and lost. Liverpool only had 2 shots and scored 1 goal. Liverpool won the match 1-0. They gained the advantage.

Bayern Munich won very comfortably and won the match 3-0. They will most likely be the team that advances.

Very impressive performance from Barcelona to hold off Benfica from scoring even though they were a player down in the game , they stood strong and defended well as a team and were able to score to win that game. I was impressed by how they managed to keep up with the pressure and stop Benfica’s attack from punishing them.

Diego Simeone's team is one of the teams with the strongest defense. However, in the match against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid failed to show their strongest defense, so that as soon as the match started they immediately conceded a goal scored by Rondrygo in the 4th minute. and although Atletico Madrid managed to equalize, it was very unfortunate that in the second half they conceded again which made them lose this match.

However, with a fairly narrow goal difference, I think the second match will be quite tight again, especially in the next match Atletico Madrid will appear as the host.

On the other hand, I was quite surprised by the competition between the 3 big Spanish clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​and Atletico Madrid. in the meeting of the three teams, we saw Real Madrid lose to Barcelona, ​​​​and Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid, and the plot twist was that Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid.

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.

Indeed Liverpool were very lucky on the night not to have conceded a goal or more from PSG’s dangerous attacking play throughout the game. If anyone deserves to win based on performance it should be PSG clearly. I hope Liverpool do not perform this way in tge second leg if not they might not be as lucky as they were in the first leg but defensively they were good and Allison’s brilliance was the highlight of the day.

Many have criticized Liverpool performance in the first leg, and I agree that they were lucky to win. Alisson Becker was impressive, he denied many PSG chances, in my opinion it was his best performance of the season. I am quite sure that luck will be on PSG side in the second leg if Arne Slot does not change his squad game strategy, considering that Luis Enrique is very experienced in reading his opponent's weaknesses. Given the ambition of both teams, it is likely that both will be able to score goals.

It was that serious to earn some outright criticism, given the form they are in and the performance they gave, it was well below expectation but, they somehow came by that miracle and Elliott handed it over to them. They really were lucky to have escaped PSG with that win and they did it at the PSG home. They would have a better chance defending that at the Anfield though, I really hope to see better from them in the second leg.

Honestly, in this first leg, Liverpool played not really in good condition. If we look at the statistics, even Liverpool is quite bad in some lines, but I admit, their defense is very good in facing various consecutive attacks from PSG.

Check this image:

Statistics show that PSG has tried their best, but their attacks were not even able to penetrate their defense strongly, there were several chances to score goals but great saves were done by Liverpool.

Reports:
great saves by Alisson Becker vs PSG

Judging from PSG vs Liverpool last match, it was a narrow escape for Liverpool let's look at statistics:
Possession PSG 65 Liverpool 35 percent, shot on target PSG 8  Liverpool 1 that lead to there goal,  save  PSG 0 Liverpool 9.
The win Liverpool got was with luck and nothing more than that. But there next leg may not end well for Liverpool. Luis Enrique won't be happy to lose to slot in there next leg. It will be a difficult one for Liverpool I definitely believe PSG will win there next leg with Liverpool

I agree with you about how Liverpool played firstly. They did win but they were also lucky at times. Alisson Becker was best player making some very important saves to stop PSG from scoring. However I do not think Liverpool will be as lucky next. PSG has very good team and smart coach in Luis Enrique who will try to find weaknesses in Liverpool plan. But Liverpool has shown many times that they can play well in big games. I think you are right that both teams will score goals which will make second game very exciting. It is going to be very interesting match.!

Liverpool should not rely on luck again in the second leg, in my opinion, their success in keeping a clean sheet at PSG headquarters was because they managed to build a solid defense and Allison also performed brilliantly that night. Repeating the achievement achieved in the first leg is more difficult than when they achieved it, PSG certainly will not stay silent when playing at Anfield, they will continue to try to improve the quality of their game in order to advance to the quarter-finals. Liverpool will have to work harder to maintain their lead.
