UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[GiftedMAN]

PSG is all over Aston Villa like a bad rash, with some brilliant goals, but that doesn't mean Villa don't have a chance. There is still a second leg.
However, I agree that PSG is in great form at the moment.
Ousmane Dembélé created nine chances against Aston Villa - The most on record (since 2003-04) in a UEFA Champions League match for PSG.
And Marquinhos makes his return to the squad following his suspension.
So, Emery must find a different approach in the second leg, or Villa's chance will be over.

Aston Villa's chances are very small, they are already behind Agg 2 goals and also overall PSG's strength is slightly better than Aston Villa so I don't think Aston Villa has the possibility to turn things around in the second leg even though they will play at home.
I see now PSG is a team that should be considered to win the Champion League title this season after they were able to beat Liverpool in the previous round which has made the mentality and confidence of PSG players increase drastically.

I agree with you, PSG has a better experience in the champions League and they took the advantage when they played at home as they scored 3:1 against Aston Villa. Coming to the home ground of Aston Villa PSG in their recent good performance knows that Aston Villa will try to score early goals so they can turn things around but I don't think that will be possible because the form of PSG at the moment will help them defeat Aston Villa again because PSG is better than them this season and their performance will definitely help them to qualify ahead of Aston Villa.

This is not a matter of aggregate against Aston Villa because even if Aston Villa aggregate was 3 ahead PSG there higher way of losing is not eradicated, we cannot forget whom they are up against and apart from PSG having the aggregate against them they are also profoundly astonished, there is gap between a learner and already learned person because there definition of knowledge are not of equal height so I use Aston Villa as not to be of PSG heights, already nothing is stopping PSG now so tomorrow they would have there match and increase the aggregate by sending Aston Villa out. For now my thoughts on PSG for champions League wining is of significantly lower because is not about surviving were opponent are weak but is about contending to champions.

If Aston Villa had drawn or won that match maybe there would be chances of qualifying since PSG would be visiting England for their return leg tomorrow but then they're 2 goals behind one of the most inform team that's remaining in the Champions League and I don't think they'll qualify, even though PSG are visiting their home which gives Villa more advantage I don't think they'll score PSG up to 3 or 4 goals without any reply, PSG would still go to Villa's home ground and win cause they've got a better squad, a good coach with lots of Champions League experience and more players that have experienced champions league football compared to Aston Villa I don't see Villa as a treat to PSG infact they're the weakest team that's remaining in this tournament currently and the time they have left to stay in the Champions League is very slim, except some football miracle happens.

If we talk about opportunities for Aston Villa I think they still have a chance, even the percentage reaches 40% in my opinion. We know how Premier League teams play especially when playing at home and they are used to playing against strong teams so I think 2 goals is not something impossible. Based on level PSG is indeed much better but sometimes surprises can happen, there are many factors like red cards or player injury in the early minutes. Previously Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich well they need to build the same spirit play without burden.

Sportsbooks have also displayed betting odds like the screenshot below, we can see the difference between Aston Villa and PSG in terms of favorites not too flashy. The main target for Aston Villa is not to concede so they can play according to strategy without any burden and so far Aston Villa have a good defense when playing at home, also in the top 4 teams with the lowest conceded in the Champions League.

It’s going to be difficult for Aston villa to score two goals with PSG scoring any goal, it’s going to be difficult for Aston villa to send PSG out of the champions league, PSG is already ahead of them, and PSG will do everything possible to get a win in the match, and as we can see PSG plays better than Aston villa, am not even expecting Aston villa to get a win even in the second leg of the match, I feel PSG are still going to win the second leg of the match.

Liverpool were sent out of the champions league by PSG, I was surprised because Liverpool is also a strong club, I never expected them to lose to PSG, but PSG played a mature game in the match, and they were able to secure a win.

When you say PSG strength is slightly better than that of Aston Villa, I see it as undermining and underaating PSG. I'm not talking of other seasons but this present season, Aston Villa is like a baby's strength compared to that of an adult. PSG is way stronger in all ramifications than Aston villa this season. You're actually correct on what you said but I just wanted to correct that impression on PSG being slightly stronger.

The problem is that PSG are in their best condition and performance at the moment. So it feels like Aston Villa will have difficulty turning things around because, well, an aggregate of 2 goals is still quite a large number. PSG is actually a little unexpected this season. Or we could say PSG exceeded expectations this season. They are able to become a very strong team this season. And maybe it's time for PSG to achieve success in the Champions League. Because so far PSG has never won a UCL title. And it would be an extraordinary achievement for this team if they succeed this season.

And Arsenal is also in the same condition. They played better than expected. And we know that it seems Arsenal have never won a title in the UCL. So this season Arsenal will definitely focus more on the Champions League and try to win the title for the first time.

Can Arsenal finish Real Madrid off in Santiago Bernabeu? Will Arteta make history with Arsenal? It?s a question that is on the minds of every football fan right now. Arsenal have a chance at advancing to the next stage of the Champions League and even though their fans are noisemakers it?s hard to hate on Arsenal right because we love to see the underdog make it.

It's impossible to expect Arsenal to beat Real Madrid in the second leg, firstly because Real Madrid will be playing at home, and secondly because they (Real Madrid) are behind in terms of aggregate. To beat Real Madrid by 3 goals at the Emirates is a great achievement for Arsenal (IMO), whether they can advance to the next round or not, it all depends on Arsenal squad later. We also have to remember how Real Madrid destroyed the hopes of Manchester City players in the CL.

I don?t think it is impossible. Arsenal are a good team, looking back from 5 years ago I would say Arsenal?s development and performance level has skyrocketed. Mikel Arteta has being doing a fantastic revamping job at Arsenal, they are now on a different level if you ask me.

I also think it will be very difficult for Arsenal to beat Real Madrid in the next match, it will certainly be a difficult match that will put Arsenal to the test, Real Madrid will do everything to win the match and take home the result, If Ancelotti gets this match wrong he's out

I still will not give it all to PSG to get the qualifications yet, until the second leg match is played I don’t see PSG already making it to the next round of the competition so soon. This is the champions league and I believe all teams playing in this competition are the best teams in Europe at the moment. Just a one or two goal difference between them doesn’t make them stand the chance already for the semifinals when the second leg is yet to be played. Aston Villa have been playing well since the beginning of the champions league, so I think they will put in their best efforts and try their best in this match to get a possibility of qualifying. Let’s just wait and see the match this week, because I don’t see PSG already qualifying for the next round so easily.

PSG have performed well in the last three matches of the Champions League, if this trend continues, PSG will definitely be able to qualify for the semi-finals. However, if PSG's performance declines, the scenario may change.

We have seen PSG play well in both matches against Liverpool. PSG won 3-1 in the home match against Aston Villa. PSG's players showed excellent dominance. Since PSG is leading by 2 goals, the team is in a somewhat safe zone. Even if PSG loses 2-1 in the second leg match, PSG will still be able to secure a ticket to the semi-finals. The path to qualifying for the semi-finals is quite easy for PSG.

PSG outplayed Aston Villa in the first leg of the champions league quarterfinal match, I was expecting a tough one because Aston Villa was looking like a team with strength and much dominance before reaching this stage, so I would have thought they would continue that form even in this game but unfortunately they couldn’t. Talking about experience, PSG has it more than they do and going by that, PSG is the team to make it to the semifinals of the competition. For Aston Villa to get a chance to qualify from this stage, they need to perform much more better than they did in the first leg and score as many goals as possible. It will be an intriguing match but PSG stands a better chance than Aston Villa qualifying for the next round of the competition.

The two goals advantage that PSG has is enough for them to stand on in this match, they will have a slight advantage of Aston Villa because Aston Villa needs to score at least three goals and have to stop PSG from scoring because they can qualify, and I don’t think PSG will give them that space even though they will be playing away from home. In fact, I am expecting PSG to defeat the Uni Emerey’s side home and away because they have good players that can defeat Aston Villa.

The two goals will surely serve as an advantage for PSG and if they can keep up with that performance in the first leg match, they will also win the second leg match and make it to the semifinals of the competition. Unai Emery has really built a strong team and he’ll be more careful to avoid mistake that may cause him been eliminated from the competition. PSG have tried many time to win the Champions League trophy, may be this is their time to show they can do it. Many football lovers are already predicting that PSG will and should be among the top contenders for the champions league trophy after seeing their performance in the last few matches they’ve played in, they were very formidable and so strong that one cannot defeat easily. The Champions league is fast coming to an end and we’ll get to see the teams that will make it to the final ground soon.

Aston Villa will try to use the second leg to make a sensational comeback after losing 3-1 in the first leg. I have little doubts about Aston Villa ability to score 2 goals, especially if PSG takes the lead in the game, it is clear that Aston Villa will be under more pressure because PSG is in their best form.

Real Madrid struggle is much harder than Aston Villa, they need 3 goals to make the Agg 3-3. Many are optimistic that Madrid will be able to make a comeback, but their recent performance has not shown anything better, even though they managed to win over Alaves, not a single Madrid player was able to score a goal.
Arsenal came to the Santiago Bernabeu not to lose, they only needed a draw to qualify for the semifinals, they can play more relaxed because there is no pressure in this game.

There is no way that Aston Villa will have any chance to win this one, it is not going to happen. We can't really see PSG losing that badly, PSG has been great this season, they already won their league, and while they weren't that great at UCL group stage, they have been very powerful during the playoff part and then last time against Liverpool and even the first leg here.

So we can easily assume that not only PSG will not lose this game that badly, there is also a big chance that PSG will end up winning the second leg too. Just because they do not have to win the second leg, doesn't mean that they are going to lose it, I understand even if they lose 1-0 or something that would not be bad for them, they could still get away with that, but I bet that they are not going to end up with a bad result like that, so we need to consider PSG winning the next game as a possibility.

 with the performance of psg in their first leg I think they're way more better than Aston villa, to be realistic Aston villa have been very consistant but not when they're dealing with psg. Moreover psg is more experienced than Aston villa, though the second leg is going to be a little bit tough for psg. But even as that I think the possibility of Aston villa wining this match is still something we are 20% sure of. I know most people will be thinking that Aston villa may likely make a comeback, though this can also be possible because football is unpredictable. But wining psg with 3goals is not an easy task for team like Aston villa.

Realistically speaking, with the exception of Inter/Bayern, we already know the 3 semi-finalists (Maaaybe Aston Villa has a sliver of a chance, but that's a big "maybe").
As for Bayern, I'm tempted to place a small bet on them qualifying. Yes, they lost the first leg, but the goal result is not always a fair representation of the game, as there's always some element of luck involved, and I feel that was the case for Bayer.
Despite the loss, they had a clear dominance, at least in terms of creating chances, they had twice as many shots on goal (20 Vs. Inter's 10). I'm aware that it could've been due to Inter taking a more defensive stance after taking the lead, but if Bayern could've created that many chances the first time around, they surely can do it again, meaning them winning is quite probable.
And since there is no away goal tie-breaker rule, even a modest 1-0 win would lead to extra time (and maybe a penalty shootout) where Bayern would have some psychological advantage.

The odds for Bayern to qualify are between x3.2-3.3 (depending on the site), so it seems a decent value.
Any thoughts on this?

Who has Arteta's phone number?

Who has Arteta's phone number? I have an advice for him. If he doesn't want Real Madrid to come back, which will be very difficult for Real Madrid, he shouldn't play defensive game. He should order the boys to come out and play normal match. He shouldn't also be too careful. With the quality of Arsenal players, Real Madrid will do absolutely nothing against them, but if they become defensive, fearful and too careful, they'll recieve 2 goals even in the first half.

The best form of defence is attack. Immediately the match starts, Arsenal should rush them and see if they can get 1 goal more and end the day.

I really think so because defending will only decrease Arsenal's effectiveness and it's a move that could make their situation worse.

I think Arteta will still do the same scheme where the midfield will still be focused with Rice who played very well in the first leg.
In addition, with the current conditions where Madrid are behind on aggregate, it is certain that they will emphasize more even though they realize it is a little extreme for Madrid at this time who are in performance problems but it is the only way they can make a difference and make a comeback if the goal is still eyeing the semi-finals.

Madrid are currently on the back foot with both La Liga and the Champions League in trouble due to their unimpressive form but Madrid are Madrid and they always do the unexpected to make the impossible happen.

I agree with you if they defend they will surely concede goals. Arsenal aint a team that has ultra fast players to try and attack from a counter attack and they should play like in this first game. But as we all know its all about tactics so im predicting that Arsenal will park the bus and Real Madrid will go full out attack

Obviously, Madrid will go full attack because they are already down. He who is down already fears no fall. I will not encourage Arteta to pack the bus because he will definitely regret it. Those Madrid young star attackers will come aggressively against them. If they pack the bus, the whole football will happen in Arsenal's half which will put them in much more danger.
