UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Xcode7]

I pray that this clean sheet the Gunners got against Madrid should not get into their head since everybody is praising them and it was a surprise to the world but even if is a win at least not a clean sheet, like Madrid needed to. They'll say they Gunners demolish Madrid, true but is not yet over till we see the final result at Santiago Bernabeuu, for now the Gunners should celebrate and focus their mind on the next game in the league before the Madrid game next week Wednesday. Madrid might be poor last night but when it comes to their home ground the ball game do change in theie favor but we can't be too sure of what to expect.

It was very surprising what happened in the first leg of the Arsenal vs Real Madrid match, no one expected Arsenal to win this match with a landslide score.
Despite Arsenal's clean sheet in the match, Real Madrid's performance was very bad, they seemed unable to develop their game and Real Madrid seemed frustrated so they conceded 3 goals in the second half.
And what must be appreciated is the 2 beautiful goals from D.Rice, it was really impressive.

Agg 3 goals will make Arsenal more confident to face the second leg later, this is a prediction and percentage that has turned around compared to the beginning, I think now Arsenal's percentage to be able to qualify for the semifinals is very large.

I didn't know whatsup with Bayern Munich because I did not watch their match. I was fully concentrated in the Arsenal - Real Madrid match which was very much exciting and interesting. I decided to watch the replay of the Inter - Bayern Munich match, I saw that Harry Kane missed and excellent goal. Infact, Bayern Munich dominated in the early times of the match but things didn't just click for them. They still have chances to turn the result around, unlike Real Madrid who is at the verge of crashing out of the prestigious champions league.

There were many opportunities that failed to be utilized by Bayern Munich players, but I think it's not just that, but the mentality of the Bayern Munich team in this season's Champion League match is a bit bad so it's not a big surprise when they lost this match, from the start I didn't have high expectations for Bayern Munich because overall I think their strength is not much stronger than Inter Milan.

Even though both of the games turned out to be different in results than most of us thought. They were spectacular to watch.
Arsenal hosting Real Madrid dominated the whole game and scored 3 goals at Real's post. Declan Rice scoring two of them through Free kicks.
On the other hand Bayern got defeated on its home ground 2-1 by Inter milan. Even though Bayern was more in control, Inter scored in counter attack.
Both of the teams still has a chance to turn this in a different way in next leg but it would be difficult as Bayren would play on Inter's ground while Real is down by 3 goals.

[BlackBoss_]

Two games, two surprises. Both favourites lost tonight. Bayern's loss is minimal so they are still in play, although it might be hard to defeat Inter on their home turf.
Real Madrid is probably already out. I don't see Arsenal wasting a 3-goal advantage even if Real is much more dangerous at home. If the gunners stay focused next week, they will go through to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich lost at their home stadium but another host, Arsenal won big at their home stadium. Bayern Munich with this minimal win still has good opportunity of equalizing an aggregated result in a second leg, but Real Madrid will play the second leg with very big disadvantage. Historically Real Madrid came back strongly sometimes but they can not do it in all matches and all seasons. Arsenal with 3 - 0 win at home, actually have very big advantage for a match in Bernabeu stadium.

I don't know what to say about Real Madrid because watching last night's game they played badly, even no one expected it to end with 3 goals without reply from Real Madrid.

They completely lost control in the second half and the second yellow card, then red card of Camavinga in very last minute of the match, shows Real Madrid's disappointment and control loss in this quarter final with Arsenal in England. The match result would have been better a little bit for Real Madrid if Mbappe had not waste some good opportunities in this match.

I didn't know whatsup with Bayern Munich because I did not watch their match. I was fully concentrated in the Arsenal - Real Madrid match which was very much exciting and interesting.

They still have chances to turn the result around, unlike Real Madrid who is at the verge of crashing out of the prestigious champions league.

Harry Kane left Tottenham Hotspur and joined Bayern Munich for titles but he completely failed with this club last season. In this season, Kane perhaps will win at least one title, Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich, but he will try to win UEFA Champions Leaguet title if possible. This quarter final result is not good for Bayern Munich before their second match with Inter Milan in Italy. With a minimal win advantage, Inter Milan can apply counter attack tactic and block most of space and access to their 16.5m box, and they have enough good players for counter attacks.

This gives Arteta a chance to defend in this round --- what a great game.

The difference between the Madrid team and the teams they have struggled against is that Madrid sometimes has this individual issue that makes it challenging for them to play as a team. Right from the first half, from the moment they started losing clear chances, it became certain that they were going to experience a very tough game if they were ever going to get a win in this game. arsenal was the better team in all ramifications. they were more organized upfront and for the Declan Rice two free kick goals, that is what it means to step up big in games that matters most. Real Madrid might be one of the best teams that are good at coming back to turn things like this around, but when you look at this, it doesn't in any way look like it will ever happen. they might go to the Santiago Bernabeu to get a draw and still qualify for the next round.

I didn't expect Arsenal to win by such a big score either... Especially I expected Madrid to score at least one goal, but it didn't happen... Now I don't even know what Madrid will be able to do in the return game... All this reminds me of Madrid's game with Man City a few seasons ago, when Man City became champions... Now Arsenal are repeating their success so far... I didn't guess with Bayern's win... But they had a lot of unrealised chances... Maybe they will be lucky in Milan...

Many people underestimate Inter Milan but this is the only Italian team that can maintain its consistency, they beat Bayern Munich and it surprised us.

Last night I was satisfied with the result, but the bet lost, but it's okay to bet a small amount.

It look like magic to you right, that is what you can experience from most strongest team in the UEFA champion league which is what Arsenal did to Real Madrid yesterday. Since Real Madrid is among the team many teams are afraid to meet in this stage, I guess Arsenal will win this trophy because they will put more effort in their next round to make sure they maintain the opportunity to play final to come out victorious.

What inter did to Bayern Munich was not a surprise to me, because they have beaten many teams in the Italian league to remain in the first position, which is the confident I have in that yesterday game that inter will beat Bayern Munich 2:1 to move to next round which they did to secured victory from Bayern Munich.

[SuperBitMan]

I have witnessed Real Madrid have a surprising comeback at home soil and I know this can be done again this time around and against Arsenal football club.
Despite Arsenal incredible performance tonight, they shouldn't go home after now, fold their hands and relax thinking every has ended here, Madrid has a way of coming back and Arsenal shouldn't take this opportunity for granted. They should ensure at least they get a goal in their returning leg or hold them on draw.

Real Madrid can score 3-5 goals while playing at home at least that's what we saw in a few matches ago 5-2 against Dortmund or 3-1 against Manchester City well, as you said Real Madrid still has the opportunity to make a comeback but the question is whether Arsenal only play defensive in the second leg? of course we can't predict it's just that my hunch says Arsenal will play in a different way I mean maybe we will see a combination of attacks and defenses.

Although Real Madrid still has the chance to make a comeback when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, the miracle is very unlikely to happen because they started the match with a 3-0 burden. Now that Arsenal has one foot in the semi-finals, they will not make the slightest mistake in the second leg. They will play carefully and occasionally counter-attack. Arsenal playing style is almost similar to Barcelona and will put Real Madrid players under more pressure, even though Madrid won the second leg, it will not help them qualify for the semifinals. IMO

This win from arsenal came as a big surprise to me they didn't just win they won very well with three goals I'm very happy for them even though my slip cut because of there win I predicted real Madrid to win, I think this is the end of the road for real Madrid in the champions League this season there's no way they will be able to defeat Arsenal in there next match and Even if they do the goal margin will not be more than one or two so Arsenal will qualify for the next round and real Madrid will go home, I think they will focus more on la Liga if they go back home but I still don't think winning the la Liga will be easy for them because Barcelona is still topping the la Liga table.
The problem with real Madrid in that match was that they where not working as a team and arsenal took the advantage to score them very well and arsenal winning them 3:0 is a very good one because with this number of goal arsenal has secured a qualification, I didn't even see mbappe performing very well in that match real Madrid really need to start working as a team if they really want to get a trophy this season.
Good luck to the both team in there next leg.

[Despairo]

With the surprising results we seen today, what do you think about the rest match? will Dortmund and Aston Villa win this match?

In their previous, Barcelona can't beat Real Betis in their home and PSG only score one goal against Angers in their home, Angers is a weak team in Ligue 1. It would be a huge upsets, I can't imagine Barcelona who have undefeated record and PSG who beat Liverpool can lose against such kind opponents.

[Solokan]

Brilliant performance from the Arsenal side. his is the best I have seen Arsenal this season. I’m happy for Arsenal but I wouldn’t celebrate too soon, Real Madrid are not a team to say that it's over for them, there's still the second leg to be played at Santiago Bernabeu. Anything can happen.

yes it is true that this is Arsenal's best performance this season, yes of course they can beat last season's champion (Real Madrid) of course this is a pride for Arsenal and of course they are having fun right now. but yes it is true of course Real Madrid will definitely try to take revenge at the Santiago Bernabeu because of course they are last season's champion and filled with star players will certainly make Real Madrid want to win the trophy again and of course in the 2nd leg later Real Madrid will definitely fight tooth and nail to win and of course do not want to be embarrassed for the second time and of course Ancelotti will learn from today's experience to be able to win in the 2nd leg.

but of course for Ancelotti even though there is a chance to win in the 2nd leg but it will certainly not be easy for Ancelotti to be able to make his players' mentality better because of course conceding 3 goals today will certainly make the mentality of Real Madrid players difficult to rise. However, because of the champion mentality that Real Madrid players always have, of course Arsenal should not be too happy because the atmosphere at Santiago Bernabeu is certainly different and of course the 3 goals scored by Arsenal can still potentially be overtaken by Real Madrid.

Perfect performance by Arsenal and yet another mediocre match for Real Madrid. This season is destined to be a failure for the Spanish team, despite Madrid having a small chance to win La Liga. It's obvious that something is missing in their team. Maybe they need new midfielders or a new central striker. Mbappe can't turn into the goal machine everyone was expecting. Maybe Ancelotti is totally wasted as a manager of this great team. Arsenal and PSG are my favorites for winning the UEFA champions League. I can't imagine Bayern or Barcelona being able to beat Arsenal or PSG at the semi-finals or at the final.

[giorgione]

I take back everything I said about Arsenal, what an incredible match, Ancelotti didn't know what to do anymore, I saw his truly desperate face, compliments and honor to the team that beat the Galacticos, it's incredible, regarding Inter, exceptional match from all points of view, sticks and stretcher were fantastic

It was a very surprising game of football, Nobody could have predicted Arsenal to be so Clinical in front of goal, not just beating Real Madrid, they beat them comfortably, with a 3 goal advantage, The Madrid players was nowhere to be found, Arsenal outplayed Marid in all part of the pitch, Someone like Luka Modric should now think about leaving the team, He was absolutely nowhere to be found in the pitch, It was a very bad game for Real Madrid, Arsenal really gave them a play of there money, That is what the Champions League is all about, Surprises and now all we have to think is that the game is not over until it is over. Let now see what Real Madrid comes up with in the second leg of the Champions league. I do not think Arsenal should go to Madrid and Defend. That would not be a good game plan.

Right now someone would not know what to expect in the games anymore, Because the Champions League is full of Surprises, But on paper Barcelona should be beating Dortmund, PSG already won the League 1, which we know they will always win the League 1, PSG also playing Aston Villa on paper you will always expect PSG to win the game, But like we all know you cannot write off Aston Villa like we all did write off Arsenal against Real Madrid

Todays games would be exciting as well,

That's very obvious Dortmund and Aston Villa will lose together. They have no chance to fight their opponent, and considering how big their odds in the first leg. They probably lose with decent agg against their opponent. I'm dumb enough if i bet on them because they obviously losing the game.  

i can't really use Barcelona and PSG games in the domestic league as benchmark to determine their performance in UCL. The big clubs often performed differently in UCL. I have no feel they will lose against easy opponents like that.

They can take good agg from their away game.

[MK-74]

Declan Rice showed people the wonders of football last night.

Last night was an unforgettable night for Declan Rice. He scored 2 wonderful, perfect free-kicks and made history.
Arsenal won the match 3-0. Real Madrid will probably be eliminated.

Declan Rice is only the fourth player in history to score two direct free-kicks in the same Champions League game:

- Declan Rice
- Rivaldo
- Neymar
- Cristiano Ronaldo

Good luck to the both team in there next leg.

Stranger things have happened at the Bernabéu...For three consecutive games, Madrid played very badly and slowly. Vini and Mbape are both selfish to each other...Madrid gonna lose even in Bernabeu.
I don't talk like I know about coaching, but I feel Real Madrid’s players are like movie stars — top-class actors- but their roles are poorly distributed. Don Carlo makes some mistakes, but we all know what the team needs right now. That’s exactly the case with head coach Ancelotti. IMHO

[AprilioMP]

Apart from home, Arsenal is also good to face Real Madrid.
The match was almost over the first 45 minutes (half time), Arsenal's game still made me assume if Real Madrid could not beat Arsenal even though Real Madrid when the match entered the 20th minute began to find the rhythm of the game so the percentage of ball possession began to be balanced.
A draw is still the best scenario, it seems.

Inter 1 Goal. This will make Bayern Munich difficult.

Arsenal pattern is really giving Real Madrid a tough time mainly because of the fact that they have a lot of midfielders who are close marking the Madrid team, Arsenal are not good in shooting the ball from outside the 18 yard box, if not they would have gotten a goal in the first half, the playing pattern of driving the ball to the goal mouth before attempting to score isn't the best for them, you could see the likes of kylian mbappé and vinicius junior will likely strike a shot from outside the 18 yard box, Madrid are more aggressive on the front line than Arsenal at least from what I've seen from the first half.

The second half, all changed and Arsenal appeared crazy. Arsenal's Shots Inside Box in the first round is more than Real Madrid even though not a single goal was created.
As we expected that Arsenal really played a good game, especially his midfielders to make the flow of Real Madrid attacks not run perfectly. Vinicius Junior can't do much. But I salute Courtois.

Shots Inside Box and Shots Outside Box, Arsenal won, not Real Madrid. Only Kylan Mbappe did it which almost became a goal for Real Madrid.
And as we have witnessed until the match is finished, Arsenal did show that Real Madrid could not do much like in the Champions League this season.

[Cryptmuster]

Perfect performance by Arsenal and yet another mediocre match for Real Madrid. This season is destined to be a failure for the Spanish team, despite Madrid having a small chance to win La Liga. It's obvious that something is missing in their team. Maybe they need new midfielders or a new central striker. Mbappe can't turn into the goal machine everyone was expecting. Maybe Ancelotti is totally wasted as a manager of this great team. Arsenal and PSG are my favorites for winning the UEFA champions League. I can't imagine Bayern or Barcelona being able to beat Arsenal or PSG at the semi-finals or at the final.

Ancelotti made a mistake when he decided to play defensively, he should have played a more equal game with Arsenal, but in this way Arsenal got a lot of space. I was also surprised that Real couldn't score, they had good attacks but Raya played great. And of course it's worth mentioning Raya who scored two incredibly beautiful goals, it was his evening, after that Real couldn't do anything, and they still managed to concede a third goal. Now it will be very difficult to correct this situation at home.

Sincerely this is the best I have seen Arsenal performed every since I have been watching Arsenal since Arteta took over. I really underestimated Arsenal, and they beat my expectations. I never saw 3:0 coming against Real Madrid. The second half was the worst performance I seen real Madrid played in a long time. As I was watching the match, I was thinking if this was really the real Madrid team that has been winning champions league in years. Like nothing was working for the team, they were not showing up. Arsenal locked everywhere. Arsenal beat my expectations yesterday, I was really against them and I was disgraced. I didn't even know when I started clapping for Arsenal after Merino scored that third goal.

[ajanwalker]

Real Madrid found effective attacks when the match was 0-0, but either they couldn't make the last pass well or the goal kick was not good, the goalkeeper saved the shots.
Arsenal also found very effective attacks but couldn't get past Courtois in the first half.

In the 58th minute, Declan Rice scored the best first goal of his career and reminded us of Roberto Carlos.
The second goal was another career goal for Rice, this time reminding us of David Beckham.
Rice will never forget last night. He played great football.
Merino scored the third goal and the score ended 3-0.
Arsenal took the advantage but we can't say they passed the round because their opponent is Real Madrid. They will play Real Alaves this weekend, I will bet on Alaves winning that match.
