UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Silence Scream]

It is so surprising to see PSG take an early lead against Liverpool. This is indeed against popular the expectations that Liverpool will also beat PSG even with ease at Anfield. Dembele put PSG into the competition with that early goal which was celebrated in grand style. If PSG will remain focus and play as though they are losing, they might just be lucky to eliminate the English league leaders and secure a place at the next stage which is the quarter finals. It is still too early to call because Liverpool has all it takes to change the match to their side.

PSG needs to be careful or else they might have a repeat of the first leg. They have been missing a lot of chances. They could have buried the game in the first half or at least be leading the tie by now but they didn't make use of the chances they had.
Liverpool also has missed some decent chances, if they want to win this game they will need Salah to take more shots on target, he has not been impressive to me.
Its still a very open game and I believe there will be more goals in the second half. Theyre both very good teams that are playing well and its still a 50/50 game.

What is currently apparent is that the match will go to extra time. If neither team scores by the end of the match, the match will be extended. I think Paris Saint-Germain has the advantage in the long match because they have a younger and more dynamic squad. They can also use their substitutes. Liverpool, on the other hand, must win the match with the support of the fans without taking it to extra time, if they cannot do this, they may be eliminated. Paris Saint-Germain is playing better than I expected away from home.

PSG has decided to have a short on target today, though Liverpool have an appreciating ball possessions but they should make it real for them to win PSG, Dembele is the replacement of Mbappe because he speed and play like him and in today's match on the first half he is the most remarkable player and if he is not there PSG cannot do anything, though the goal is the fault of the Liverpool defender because I don't no if he did not see the goalkeeper coming and he had to touched the ball against the other direction of the keeper when all of them including the keeper are already on the floor, so there was nobody to defend Dembele and he made it to the goal.

[KingsDen]

Wat da hell is wrong?
Why can't Liverpool score?
These guys have been clinical since the match began.
Many attempts and many unconverted opportunities.
This is supposed to be 3 goals in favour of Liverpool by now.
This actually was not the Liverpool that went to Paris. The real beasts in the Reds are awakened.
The only fair result tonight is for Liverpool to qualify.

[Stable090]

The result emanating from the game this first half is really not going in the way that people really thought it would go, but I do believe Liverpool will definitely bounce back to equalize the goal in the second half. The game was balanced and both teams pressed each other  tightly but PSG used wisely their own very chance to score and converted into a goal which put them on the lead.

I haven’t given up on Liverpool to get a win in the match, the second half is just starting, and their is still time, anything can happen, Liverpool performance is not bad in the match, they are creating chances, and they might be able to convert some of those chances into goals, but Liverpool will have to improve their performance, if PSG can’t get a win in the match, then they will want the match to end as draw so that they will go for penalty shootout, which we know it’s a club, when it comes to penalty shootout, any club can win.

[AmaGold70]

After 1st half.
Inter is drawing with Feyenord so they still have a big lead in the final 45 minutes.
Bayern Bayer still 0-0 so Munich will probably pass the turn.

An now for the big match, PSG is incredibly winning in England so for now they will go at extra time!

This second leg seems to be a very though games for the teams. However I think is only Barcelona that have won their game easily against Benfica, because looking at remaining teams performances in the first half is not quite impressive at all more especially Liverpool  against PSG if care is not taking the game night likely end in penalty shootout.

-snip-

The win was emphatic enough to suggest Barça was prepared for the far tougher challenges ahead in the Champions League.

Barça's power was too much for even her to stop, and Benfica were eliminated from the competition.

Barcelona might have a hard time if the team that will be the next opponent is Dortmund, but we can't be sure whether Dortmund will face Barcelona in the next round.

This is what is exciting for me is Liverpool. PSG are now leading so there is a chance that the match will continue until 15:15 extra time. Of course it will be very draining on both sides.

Well maybe because Barcelona got the easiest draw followed by Inter Milan. PSG playing against Liverpool is really hard on them considering the fact that Liverpool is an European power house and at the same time they are in a mad form this season. Bayern Leverkusen on the other hand got themselves a big mountain to climb as they were paired with their fellow league club who's another European giant and currently leading them them in their domestic league. So from my point of view, Barcelona were supposed to qualify with ease because they played a lesser team in this Round of 16 tie.

PSG's game was too impressive in this match, they managed to score an early goal which made Liverpool feel like they were under pressure in this match. Indeed, PSG's performance was much better, they have shown major changes in their squad this season. Many underestimate them because the opponents they face are strong teams, but in this match PSG has shown its class as a team that is ready to compete hard this season.

Paris Saint German was quick to get the lead before halftime which gave them an edge over Liverpool Because they are being careful not to concede another goal. Honestly, PSG has given some signs of improvement in this game, though even in the first leg they played better than Liverpool yet they lost but today looks differently because they are really giving much energy to come out victorious and i hope Liverpool don't get a shocker tonight because they have performed so well right from the beginning so any mistakes now will ruin all the attention they gave to the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool must be able to improve their game in the second half, this is their home game, they must be able to maximize it well because carelessness and panic will make PSG more free to attack them. Dembele seems to have found his best season this season because he is a very productive striker that PSG currently has. It would be very surprising if PSG finally qualified for the next round.

It doesn't matter if Liverpool is playing at their home ground after all they won PSG at home as well but they should just try their best not to concede any more goals and perhaps move to extra time if they cannot equal the score before full time. Ousmane Dembele have been on a scoring streak for Paris Saint German even in their Domestic league games and he has been very resourceful for PSG and it's also a pleasure for him to score against a giant club like Liverpool.

[len01]

Prediction the team will qualify,

• Barcelona (The match is in live, the current score is 3-1 with an aggregate of 4-1)
• Inter Milan
• Liverpool
• Munich

These 4 favorite teams seem to be guaranteed to advance to the next round. It is impossible for these four teams to get a surprise because it is clear from the aggregate score that proves that they will qualify easily. But Liverpool must remain careful to face PSG. Because I am sure PSG will try to hold this match to a draw.

Do you agree with my prediction?

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen may likely be a tough one, we can see a situation where Leverkusen may decide to defeat their fellow German counterpart and scale through.

Well, see this

Liverpool vs PSG 0-1
Leverkusen vs Munich 0-2

In the 70th+ min

I agree that Munich and Leverkusen will be a tough match. But I don't believe Leverkusen can beat Munich.
Now we can see PSG managed to get 1 goal early and Liverpool has not been able to fight back. Do you believe a surprise will happen in the Leverkusen vs Munich or Liverpool vs PSG match?

Liverpool is playing a good game but they are not possessing the game more like a team that wants to win the game, they are almost approaching the 80 minute all I see is a Liverpool team that is trying to create a scoring opportunity but PSG is doing everything possible to prevent them from making any good attempt in their box, from the performance of PSG I think they are waiting for Liverpool to make a little mistake for them to take advantage of it to score a second goal since Liverpool is attacking them more. It Liverpool is able to come back in the game there won't be need for an extra time in the game. Less than 20 minutes to the end of the game Liverpool still attacking PSG so hard, if they end up going into extra time I don't know if PSG will stop them.

[Renampun]

Barca beat Benfica 3-1. PSG lead 1-0 at half time. Dembele scored a goal but missed a 1 on 1 with Alisson Becker so it could have been 2-0. Before all of it happened Mohamed Salah missed big chances for Liverpool.

It is very unfortunate because Moh Salah threw away a good opportunity, it seems like this match will end fiercely, PSG really played very well at Liverpool's home, different from the first leg that passed.
...

In another match, Leverkusen was unable to move against Bayern, the tactics launched by Alonso were well read by the Bayern players, at least Leverkusen had worked hard.

[promise444c5]

At this point, Liverpool must be so frustrated as Donnarumma keeps blocking  the shots somehow   , the defenders are somehow alert as well but everything is getting tense, hopefully a side  get a goal and end everything so we can all rest .. I kinda still seeing Psg making some dangerous counter atttack somehow, they almost get another one at (85',89') but the defence is strong. For now I think they all both have equal odd to win for me

[Amphenomenon]

In as PSG as not been doing much this second half in attack, they still need to be careful while they may be waiting for an opportunity to exploit against Liverpool, things might not go well and Liverpool may just finally get the dying minutes goal to avoid going on extra time and getting a win. I think PSG needs to do more in their attack now also than they have been doing since the second half.

[silpersurfer]

We have a half-time in Liverpool Vs PSG.
The French team scored one in the 12th and we now have a 1-1 draw on aggregate.
The truth is, the 1st leg game was an undeserved win by Liverpool, where they only had 2 shots on goal and one on target, with possession of only 29%. Tonight is a bit of a different story. Liverpool dominates in possession (slightly but still) and made 10 shots in the first half alone, but despite that, they conceded a goal and are losing. If Liverpool wants to go through to the next stage, they should press harder. Living it to the penalty shootout may not be a good idea.

In the second leg, Liverpool appeared more confident, played more openly, and even attacked more than PSG. Very different from the previous match in the second leg, but this more open style of play opened up a little space that made them have to concede in the early minutes of the match, which made the aggregate draw 1-1.

and now the match is nearing the end, but it is very unfortunate that Liverpool has not been able to score a goal against PSG. Having several golden opportunities to score goals against PSG, but it is very unfortunate that they wasted the opportunity, besides that Liverpool also often fell into the offside trap.

The referee only gave 5 minutes of additional time, and currently both teams are trying to pressure each other, but so far no goals have been scored again, so I think maybe the match will continue into extra time.

[Jossque]

Barcelona made no mistakes at home and defeated their opponents to advance.Lamine Yamal with 1 goal and 1 assist and Raphinha with 2 goals and 1 assist made it even easier for Barcelona to win.They didn't give Benfica many chances and comfortably defeated their opponents. With a 3-goal contribution, Raphinha was definitely the man of the match.
Bayern Munich, despite winning the first match, also managed to defeat their opponent in the second match with goals in the second half.Both teams had plenty of scoring chances but this time it was a weak match in front of goal.

[Lida93]

Barcelona is absolutely taking advantage of their home advantage against the Portugal side, Benfica tonight. With the duo Raphinha  giving Barcelona the goal opener, and
Lamine Yamal giving it a brace with a perfect R2 shot from outside the eighteen yard box, and just few minutes to the end of the first half Raphinha extended their advantage with a 3-1 lead. There's no possibility that Benfica can come back to the second half and make an offset as it's already a game well dominated by the home side and am expecting more goals from Barca in the second half.

I also expect more goals from Barcelona in the second half. Because they are very active in the game they play and Benfica is forced to defend only. They cannot control the ball and they play very badly. If Barcelona gets another red card, Benfica may be able to catch the balance, but it is very difficult. Frankly, Benfica could only get to this round. Barcelona will score at least one more goal.

Barcelona is in good form as they are in total control of the game having dominating the possession having 65% possession of the With fifteen shots that have been fired and six on target scoring three goals, this is quite impressive because in the first leg Barcelona really struggled to play with the red card Barcelona is indeed a team to watch out for in the champions League this season I really see them going far this season of the Europa champions League.


For Benfica nice try and there is always next year Benfica is really good but it's the quality of the team that they are playing against that really affected them because Benfica is really a good team looking at the way that they are playing against a team like Barcelona I really respect them because I can see quality in the Benfica team

I think Benfica is a very high-quality team. The only thing they were unlucky about was facing Barcelona. Barcelona has been an unstoppable team in the Champions League this year. We can say that Benfica has had its share of this. If they had faced another opponent, they might have made it to the next round, but many teams would have struggled against Barcelona, ​​and Benfica had the same difficulty.

@Hvdv, I am not seeing it in that way about Benfica in this UCL competition, their campaign has really been a disappointing one despite how they have managed to get to this stage before finally gotten eliminated by Barcelona tonight at Camp Nou. Their first meeting in the league level when they  Benfica met Barcelona  in a match they were leading on a 3 -1 deficit in the first half, Barcelona came from behind to win thay game 3-4.

Even in the first leg of the quarter final stage despite Barcelona going on a one man down Benfica couldn't take the advantage as a joke team to at least get a draw in that game, rather Barcelona won them 0-1. I wasn't having any hopes on them either in this second leg cause they never played to my expectations from the onset.

[Stepstowealth]

At this point, Liverpool must be so frustrated as Donnarumma keeps blocking  the shots somehow

The first leg was Alisson's shine, this second leg has been for Donnarumma. PSG played better in the first half, but in this second half, it has been all Liverpool, unfortunately no goals from them still. I feel Arne Slot would have started Nunez in this game and not Jota because Liverpool were aiming to hit quick attacks, Nunez would have worked better. PSG are lucky to have extra time because Quansah would have been a super substitute.

Delicate game now, any team that scores has the better chance of winning, Liverpool look like they will be the ones to score first, lets see!

Too many miss communication in the Liverpool's forwards. I also aware how they're also worrying  to shoot the ball when they very close to the pen box. Things worsen with fucking Donnaruma who always doing unnecessary thing to wasted the time like lying to the ground when he got no foul.

We're now at the extra time, and hopefully, Liverpool can score.

I think PSG needs to do more in their attack now also than they have been doing since the second half.

The game clearly shows two different sides with different strategy for tonight's game. I can say that tonight's game looks almost like the reverse of the first leg. Liverpool has dominated well, but donnarumma made himself useful just like Alisson did in the last game. It's already Extra time, and it doesn't look like a goal will come from any side. Maybe penalty shootout will settle the game in a more fair manner because both sides played really well and they both deserve to be in the next round, but unfortunately, only one must qualify.

[pawel7777]

So Barcelona, Inter and Bayer are already through to the quarter-finals, while Liverpool and PSG are playing overtime.
Odds for tomorrow's games (to qualify):
Lille: x1.90
Dortmund: x1.90

Arsenal: no bets available
PSV: no bets available

Aston Villa: x1.02
Club Brugge: x14.00

Atletico Madrid: x3.33
Real Madrid: x1.33

If I had to bet, I'd probably put my money on Atletico, as it seems like the best value odds.
