UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[UchihaSarada]

honestly, for me Arsenal right now is the favorite team to win this first leg match. The PSG is strong but not irresistible, and was seen in the return match against Aston Villa. I will most likely bet on both Arsenal's victory and the gunners' final pass

It is natural that they are favorites to win this match because after all they are home for this match so it would be quite natural if they were slightly favored for now.

Both Arsenal and PSG made big impression in this season by beating Liverpool and Real Madrid convincingly in round of 16 and quarter final matches but PSG did it in round of 16 and Arsenal did it in quarter final phase. This mean impression of Arsenal is more lately than PSG and it results in more emotional expectation on chance of winning from Arsenal in this match. Additionally they are a host in the first leg but it won't mean PSG are weak and easily accept a defeat in the first leg. If they can beat Liverpool, they can beat Arsenal home or home away.

Enrique's scheme is always unpredictable when facing clubs in the Premier League and Arteta needs to make some adjustments now, even though they have never met before but they should definitely know and have watched how their opponent's game track in previous matches when in the early stages to the quarter-finals so they can apply a suitable scheme later.

In the last three seasons, PSG started to change their club development strategy as well as tactics. They have been aiming at a more sustainable development with more healthier finance management for their club from transfer market to player salary. This season shows something sweet from this strategic change from PSG and they are not too far from the final match.

Enrique is very experienced in Champions League and at this very last phase, his experience can help PSG a lot in firstly two semi final matches with Arsenal.

You can see Inter Milan from different side, I think their last defeat nothing I mean they must have prepared everything. Indeed, Barcelona's ability is not in doubt but Inter Milan is a special team that can destroy any team. Almost all of us predicted Barcelona vs Arsenal in the final and that's normal, it's just that sometimes surprises can come at any time whether from Inter Milan or from PSG, everything is still possible. The match in the first leg will be a reference for us so let's look forward to these matches.

Somehow my gut feeling says one of Arsenal or Barcelona will be kicked out, just like when we thought Real Madrid would make it to the final but in fact they failed to reach semi-finals and this is an example of a surprise that can occur.

The defeat in the Copa Del Rey cannot be used as a reference, but overall Barcelona's strength this season is slightly better than Inter Milan, but even so, the competition in the Champions League semifinals cannot be predicted easily because of course the match will still be fierce even though Inter Milan's percentage is not much bigger than Barcelona.

The defeat in the Copa Del Rey cannot be used as a reference, but overall Barcelona's strength this season is slightly better than Inter Milan, but even so, the competition in the Champions League semifinals cannot be predicted easily because of course the match will still be fierce even though Inter Milan's percentage is not much bigger than Barcelona.

Statistics 12 matches Barcelona won 6 matches, drew 4 and won 2 for Inter. But the last two matches in group c 2022/2023 Barcelona were only able to draw and even lose at the Guiseppa meazza. So underestimating Inter seems to be a big mistake. Barcelona must be vigilant. They have a thick Italian style opponent. Inter didn't have much control but they relied on the effectiveness of the game and quick counterattacks. I think Barcelona's best move in leg 1 should be to try to score a lot of goals and increase the difference. It will be advantageous if they perform in the 2nd leg in Italy.

[bitgolden]

It's a difficult match to predict because both teams are strong. However, any of them that can make proper use of their home advantage might have an edge over the other. Inter has a good defense and Barcelona has a fierce attack, the clash will be very interesting and I hope that both teams are ready for the game. Lewandowski wouldn't be in that match.

At this stage of UCL, nothing is for certain and everything is very questionable. While we have some belief that Bayern Munich is normally better team, it is the semi finals and anything could happen. Real Madrid was seen as the team that can do better, but we saw what happened there too. Inter got the better hand and beat Bayern and got to semi finals, now it will be Barcelona vs Inter, once again a better team against Inter and while it is possible for Inter to win, I have high suspect that Barcelona will win instead.

If we can make some money from any of this, it could be a great way of moving further and Inter would have another finals chance, this time they would be facing probably a team that is closer. It's a risky move but they should consider who to rest carefully considering they are risking league at the same time.

[Inwestour]

Sometimes the bookies favored team turns out to win, despite the odds that are given to them. If we consider the odds that bookies give for both teams, Arsenal is the favorite team to win the first leg at home, but anything can happen and nobody can tell which team will really win. Both teams failed to win their previous game, PSG drew against Nantes, while Arsenal drew with Crystal Palace.

However, Arsenal has a strong defense that every opponent needs to perform at their best in order to break through and score goals, but we should never forget that PSG currently has the best attackers in the world. PSG defense is also strong enough to stop Arsenal forwards. This match will be tough to predict because Arsenal was able to defeat Real Madrid both at home and away, and I believe Madrid is not as strong as PSG.

You shouldn't judge teams by their last matches, because they've already solved all their problems in the championships, PSG became champions, and Arsenal understands that they won't be able to reach Liverpool, and all they're interested in now is the Champions League. After they managed to beat Real, Arsenal will definitely be taken more seriously, so it's not surprising that they're the favorites in the home match. It's hard for me to say anything now, these are teams with good defense and attack, probably the luckiest one will win.

Why not bet on Arsenal to win the Champions League this season? Or do t you trust the team? Or are you rating Barcelona or Inter Milan or PSG above them in the Champions League this season?

Despite the fact that Arsenal is a team with no much Champions League experience, and both Inter Milan and Barcelona has won the Champions League several times before now, I am still confident that Arsenal can win the Champions League this season because they eliminated the defending g champions and they are playing really well in the Champions League this season.

Everyone has their own choice when placing a bet, maybe the reason is because PSG has managed to eliminate Liverpool and Aston Villa, Arsenal could be the next victim because PSG is in its best form since being handled by Luis Enrique. All teams still have the same chance and there are still three games left to lift the trophy, Arsenal must play like when they beat Real Madrid if they want to win the UCL trophy this season, but I also don't want to underestimate PSG, Inter or Barcelona because the three teams have appeared dominant this season in the domestic league and European competitions.

[lizarder]

The odd will be very big because the favorite team to win the champions league is Barcelona although Arsenal disgracing Real Madrid is sending a very dangerous signal to Barcelona that the Gunners mean business this season. But I am not too sure about Arsenal winning PSG because, strangely, PSG have become very strong in the absence of Kylan Mbappe. How Arsenal will play against PSG will make me know if they will win the league or not but one thing I know is that Barcelona will easily defeat Inter Milan to make it to the final and wait for either of Arsenal or Barcelona. If I want to bet a winner of the trophy, I will bet on Barcelona.  

In terms of experience, Barcelona may be much better than the other three teams but Inter Milan also cannot be underestimated because they have the ability to give surprises. Inter Milan will also try to do everything to stop Barcelona's steps and I am sure they have prepared this match well enough to maintain their chances of qualifying for the final. If they are able to stop Barcelona then Inter Milan's chances will be much higher because they will wait for one of the other teams to play in the final.

Arsenal is considered strong because they managed to beat Real Madrid because it was indeed a very difficult challenge, but overall from the group stage to the semifinals, PSG's struggle was much more difficult so I am more confident in PSG than Arsenal who will advance to the final.

[Floxynice]

Arsenal must play like when they beat Real Madrid if they want to win the UCL trophy this season, but I also don't want to underestimate PSG, Inter or Barcelona because the three teams have appeared dominant this season in the domestic league and European competitions.

This season, no team is to be underestimated because they’ve all given their best. As for Arsenal, their challenge has always been maintaining consistency and handling pressure. They might lift your spirit so high, only to disappoint at the last minute. If they really want to win this trophy, they must put on the fighting spirit like they did to eliminate Real Madrid. Their victory over Real Madrid should not make them feel too relaxed. Arsenal is really capable of anything, only if they can maintain high energy and an attacking spirit.

There are so many expectations this season. I just want to see how well Arsenal will be able to keep up with the pressure and maybe create history for themselves.

[Oluwa-btc]

Inter have never had problems knocking out Barcelona even in good shape   And this season Barcelona had failures and even against the background of good results they do not look stable. Milan's victory looks painful, but I think that the main priorities for Inter are the Champions League and Serie A.
Now Inter is not aiming for the treble, but it will be very difficult to win the remaining two tournaments, maybe this defeat will help them focus as much as possible.

They have a solid defense and with Robert Lewandowski absence and injured for three weeks they could contain whoever  comes in as a false number 9. All they need do is man mark Pedri in midfield and stop him from gaining possession and controlling the entire game. He is currently one of the best midfielders in the world and if he can be curbed from being effective,  they would win Barcelona. Raphinha and Yamal would thrive but they'd be put to stop. I fear the injured Thuram will affect their attacking strength..

[SensitiveEyes]

The coaches fear injuries will impact the outcome because they want their players in the best physical condition for the semis. Barca should not underestimate Inter. They have to dominate in the Camp Nou because Inter will win in the San Siro.

Well, nobody can tell the right team to win this UEFA champion league trophy until the final battle and if you look at Arsenal players in this season, they look stronger but they struggle to draw game with weak team in the premier league game last week that make people to doubt their ability to lift this trophy. For this semi final,  Arsenal will come out victoriously to beat PSG to challenge who ever that will make it in the semi final because they have talented players that will do something they have not done before in their football carrier.

If Arsenal will come with new strategies to play this semi final and final game, I guess they will win the trophy because the teams to challenge Arsenal in this period not to lift the trophy has be knockout from the tournament.

[Sims25]

If Arsenal gets knocked out by PSG in the semi-finals, will this be a burst season for them? How would you rate their season? We know how close they've been to winning a trophy in the last 3 years.

[Republikcoin.com]

If Arsenal gets knocked out by PSG in the semi-finals, will this be a burst season for them? How would you rate their season? We know how close they've been to winning a trophy in the last 3 years.

I also think that this season PSG could be the team that will enter the Champions League final and will try to get their first Champions League trophy this season. But if PSG are unable to eliminate Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals this season, I think Arsenal will be the strong candidate to win the Champions League trophy this season because both of them are teams that have never won the Champions League. So one of them should at least be able to win the Champions League this season.

From the news reaching the rounds, PSG is sending an appeal to UEFA regarding their Tuesday Champions League Semi final first leg fixture against Arsenal. Before now UEFA always allows 5% of the tickets allocation to the away fans in it's competition, Arsenal has a stadium capacity of 60k of which 5% should be 3k but they only gave 2,500 tickets to PSG fans which is not up to the stipulated number. When they reached out to Arsenal, Arsenal said they can't give more than that citing it for security reasons because the London marathon will be held on Sunday. That's a silly excuse, are they trying to shut the away fans or what. Why do they want to bend the rules now? Out of 60,704 stadium capacity you are still finding it difficult to allow just 3,000 away fans in.

If they use this reason, they must reduce total tickets available for sales in this match, like if it is a 16.67% reduction (500 from 3,000 tickets), they must do the same with total tickets available for Arsenal fans in this match. There are no information that Arsenal are doing this on their fans but only want to do this on PSG fans. Generally it is an unfair treatment and ticket allocation from Arsenal for their guest, PSG in this important match for both clubs.

Reason can be used but it must be applied fairly for both clubs, not only on PSG while Arsenal are not affected. If this continue to be a final decision for a first leg semi final match, Arsenal won't deserve to win this match and even if they win it, it won't be a convincing win for them.

Barcelona was a team with a lot of experience in previous years, but as we see, it is not always enough. What prevented Barcelona last season, if I am not mistaken, it was a red card? How can you predict this, it is a force majeure, and now they can be better, stronger and faster, but something like this can ruin everything.
Barcelona beat the strongest in this Champions League, I hope they can do the same with Inter. Arsenal can be underestimated against PSG, but they can surprise us again, or rather Arsenal in the final will not be something unexpected, since PSG historically have not been very successful in the Champions League.

I don't think it applies to their own fans that's definitely why PSG reached out to Arsenal and they insist on not giving out the remaining 500 tickets to them and I believe they will still redirect it to their own fans. PSG wants to make a formal appeal to UEFA according to the news, I think it will be done between now and tomorrow. If nothing is done about it and they insist on not giving them, then I think PSG should do a "teeth for tat" and give out only 1000 tickets slots for the away fans after all their own stadium is smaller with less than 48,000 capacity.

Only Arsenal is the odd team among the other three clubs that qualified to the semifinals. The reason why I said this is because, Arsenal is the only club on 2nd position in their domestic league and the rest of them are the ones on first position in their various leagues. I hope that Arsenal can prove me wrong and win PSG for them to be in the finals.

Why I'm not betting on Arsenal to win the Champions League?

I'm not sure they can actually win the trophy.
I think Barcelona and Inter currently have an extra gear, but football is strange and full of unknowns, so anything can happen.
I'm not sure who will win the coveted trophy, but for me they have these percentages:
Barcelona 35%
Inter 30%
Arsenal 20%
PSG 15%

I fear the injured Thuram will affect their attacking strength..

Certainly, Barcelona and Inter Milan players will be tired ahead of this match. Because, they will play all their matches very close together. Barcelona will face El Clasico before the Champions League semifinals while Inter Milan also just played their city rivals in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals and Inter lost. Then Inter will also face Roma in the continuation of Serie A before facing Barcelona. Of course that will have an impact on both teams.

On the other hand, the style of play is different, Barcelona plays tikki taka, while Inter plays long balls with 86% counterattacks, we will enjoy this as an interesting match. Lewandowski's absence does not have much impact on Barcelona, ​​​​because they have wingers and midfielders who often score goals. However, of course Inter in this first leg will try their best to hold Barcelona's attacks so as not to concede because a draw will be good capital for Inter to face the 2nd leg which is played at home. It is difficult to predict because both teams have different playing characters.
