UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Adbitco]

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.

Yeah, maybe the luckiest one as you said will win because they will definitely miss some crucial chances in getting ahead of the other. I'm still reminiscing on the pSG Vs Liverpool match some weeks ago where PSG missed a lot of chances that would have even ended the tie in the first leg because they would have scored at least 6 goals after Alison had made 9 saves in the match. With that number of goals, the game would have been put to bed, PSG should take their chances because I know they will create more chances than Arsenal, in my humble opinion though.

[Lillominato89]

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

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.

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.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the league standings of their respective domestic championships. Ligue 1, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A are very different leagues from one another.
Instead, I would consider the results obtained in the Champions League by the four semi-finalists.
Arsenal has everything it takes to reach the final; if they were to miss this objective, there would be nothing to reproach them for. They have had a good, if not excellent, run in the Champions League.
I'm almost convinced that the final will be Barcelona - Arsenal.
But I would be happy if Inter were there instead of Barcelona.

[iamsange]

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.

Inter Milan will also try to play well at Barcelona's home because losing by a narrow goal will not be a big problem for Inter Milan in the first leg so Barcelona must try to win by a bigger margin in the first leg so they will not be under too much pressure in the second leg when playing at Inter Milan's home. But it will not be easy for Barcelona because Inter Milan is a team that has a fairly solid defense this season.

[Sexylizzy2813]

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 don't think it will be possible for PSG to eliminate Arsenal because these guys are having the best season of their lives in the CL but not the EPL. PSG did what's best for business since I started following them up and that is winning the Ligue 1 title before the end of this season is one of the best way to get ready for a semi finals in the champions league, both teams don't have anything to bother them in their respective leagues and they'll focus more on the CL that they have been struggling to get their hands on and for me whoever wins this round between the two clubs will emerg as champions even if is Barcelona or Inter they meet in the final, I strongly believe that but between the two teams if I'm to predict who'll win the semis I think is Arsenal, their mentality in this champions league is very different from that of last season.

[mamesso]

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..

Inter are not a team with a solid defense, they have conceded 12 goals in their last 8 games. A fragile defense like this will be an advantage for Barcelona who have a very productive attack line. Yes, Pedri is one of the players who needs to be watched out for because he plays the role of the midfield general. Lewandowski's injury could give Inter a slight advantage, but Barcelona still have Ferran Torres who has always been a game winner when given playing time.

[Mayor of ogba]

I feel the same way, at this point in the competition it's hard to predict who will win or any kind of betting. There are 2 very strong teams that will compete but I think arsenal have something more than PSG Even the bookmakers give arsenal as favourites. If I had to make a bet I'd make it on them honestly, they come to this semi-final after destroying Real Madrid, not just any team, so they'll come to this semi-final fired up

The bookies will give the favorite to Arsenal and Barcelona because they are playing at home because it is clear in this case playing at home in the Champions League is important so it is not surprising that there will be a difference in odds that is not much different.
I can't predict maybe for the first leg it is predicted that Arsenal and Barcelona will win the match but in the second leg things could change.
All four teams are pretty good.

Even though Arsenal and Barcelona are not playing at home, the bookies will still see Arsenal and Barcelona as the favorites because they believe they are the ones who will proceed to the UEFA Champions League final. Playing from home in the UEFA Champions League competition is good, and it gives the home team the advantage to win a match, but I am not certain if the home teams will both win in the semi-final first leg because the away teams are good, and they have what it takes to pull off a surprising result.

[bastisisca]

Arsenal and PSG both seem to be strong teams this season. If we forget about home advantage for a moment, the outcome of the first leg is very uncertain. Arsenal will have a higher chance of winning the first leg because of home advantage and I think they will take a multiple goal lead in the first leg.

In the second leg, Barcelona are stronger than Inter Milan, especially in the first leg. I think that even if they played the away match, they would still be the best team to win the first leg. Because Hansi Flick's plan is so great that they prefer to be ahead in the first leg. I can pick two teams from the semi-finals right now. Maybe we will see Barcelona vs PSG in the final. Although I have my doubts about the second team. But I would not hesitate to pick Barcelona for the final.

I dont know if Arsenal can take a big lead at home. Real Madrid was pretty much defending and waiting for counter attack while PSG will attack them from the first minute. I expect that PSG gets a draw or a win here. Arsenal on the other hand is already saving players to be fresh for this game so it will be really intresting for sure

In theory, according to the bookmakers, Arsenal are the favourites, also due to home advantage in the first match
clearly at this point in the Champions League it is important to understand that PSG will certainly not be there to suffer Arsenal's game and therefore will certainly make themselves dangerous

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.

It is clearly unfair to PSG because the 5% is already set by UEFA and always required that 5% of the stadium's capacity go to away fans, so there is no reason to justify what arsenal did to PSG in this case. and regarding the security issue, I don't think that is something that needs to be used as an excuse for this, because if they really care about security then they can tighten the security more instead of reducing the 500 seats quota from PSG.

It's easy to handle such issues. Since Arsenal has given limits to PSG fans in England, if Arsenal is to play the second leg in France, let PSG also limit their fans number. Limiting the number of fans wouldn't add any impact to the outcome of the game because the strongest will definitely win the match. However, since Arsenal is playing at home, they have more advantage.

There is a lot of uncertainty that will come from the semi-final match. either in a home match for a team or an away match for a team. At the actual semi-final point or stage we will see the away teams even playing like they are at home. because they know how important the match is. So even though the home team is naturally always the favorite, that is not a guarantee that the home team is more likely to win. Just like what happened in the quarter-finals, Arsenal even won home or away. Which shows that currently the Arsenal players' mentality has become very strong, they can play well at home or away. Like there's no difference. And I think PSG will also be able to do the same.

Of course, the home field factor is also a bit of a factor, so bookmakers favor Arsenal. But what is clear is that the Arsenal vs PSG match can be predicted to be fierce because both teams carry attacking football, especially since both coaches are inspired by Pep Guardiola who plays a ball possession system.

It is difficult to predict this match, especially since both teams want to win the UCL title for the first time, and of course both teams will play very carefully because conceding many goals in the first leg will make it difficult for them in the second leg. Maybe this match will end in a draw, but if Arsenal make a blunder like when they played against Crystal Palace, they will definitely lose points because what makes these two teams lose is when they make mistakes and the opponent takes advantage of those mistakes well.

The opponents are not teams to be underestimated. We are talking about Inter and Paris Saint-Germain. Both teams eliminated very strong teams in the previous round. Inter eliminated Bayern Munich. Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Aston Villa. When we think about it this way, it is not a semi-final that any team can definitely win. Every team can make it to the final. All four teams seem to have an equal chance of winning the championship. However, Barcelona, ​​which is currently doing very well, certainly seems to be the closest candidate to being a finalist.

All 4 teams in the semi-finals are very strong and all of them have the potential to play in the final. But I cannot put Barcelona in the same row with the other 3 teams in terms of the possibility of the final. Because the recent Barcelona team is one step ahead of all the other teams. Inter Milan is certainly playing well and they have qualified for the semi-finals by defeating some strong teams, but maybe this achievement will not be enough for Barcelona. On the other hand, Arsenal has defeated a superpower like Real Madrid to reach the semi-finals and PSG has reached here by playing well against strong teams like Aston Villa and Liverpool. Basically, everyone has reached the semi-finals by playing well. So we cannot underestimate anyone.

[sokani]

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.

Arsenal are known for bottling their chances, it's in their DNA. They've done it many times and there's no guarantee they won't do it again this time around. However, we cannot deny the fact that they've been really fantastic in the champions league this season and the match against Real Madrid says it all. They're no doubt one of the favorites and I hope the silence their critics, including me, by winning the trophy that has eluded them for years.

[ITExpert]

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.

This is absolutely true but if we make predictions we can only guess and everyone hopes for their favourite team to win which makes it difficult to decide. Arsenal have strengthened themselves with good performance in their matches which is why Arsenal is being talked about this season if they keep playing like this then they will be successful. This is the moment which makes even the strongest team weak due to which people doubt and keep changing their hopes with every match. I don't believe in who has the better players but in these last matches I watch matches with luck to see who is on their side. It is clear that they will win the match if they play hard and perform well, but this will only happen if Arsenal score in the first half and score 2 goals during the game, which will increase their chances of winning.

[topbitcoin]

Even though Arsenal and Barcelona are not playing at home, the bookies will still see Arsenal and Barcelona as the favorites because they believe they are the ones who will proceed to the UEFA Champions League final. Playing from home in the UEFA Champions League competition is good, and it gives the home team the advantage to win a match, but I am not certain if the home teams will both win in the semi-final first leg because the away teams are good, and they have what it takes to pull off a surprising result.

This is still a possibility but it's not necessarily the case that Arsenal and Barcelona will be the favorites in their away games because it depends on how the first leg plays out.

Now if in the end Arsenal and Barcelona can take advantage of the first leg conditions well and manage to get a pretty good victory then there will be an attraction for the bookmakers to keep them as favorites even though they are in away matches but when they are not possible and do not get unsatisfactory results then it is certain that their away matches will still lose in terms of favorites compared to opponents who are doing home matches.

Because after all, determining the favorite must certainly be seen from several angles including in terms of performance and final results in the first leg.

That's what they are known for, they always have a good start then the end they start lagging behind.. but we hope that this time will be different because they are giving football fans a reason to believe that they can actually make it... winning real Madrid twice and eliminating them wasn't luck at all, in football the better side would always win and arsenal has proven to have an upgraded performance, from the way things are going they might have a chance.

All 4 teams in the semi-finals are very strong and all of them have the potential to play in the final.

All the four teams playing semi final are really strong teams, and it’s just going to be difficult to predict the two teams that will be qualifying for the final. Everyone is already making their predictions on the team that will be qualifying for the champions league finial, but some teams might end up surprising us in the semifinal. 

Arsenal will be playing against PSG in their next champions league match, am really interesting in this match. Arsenal are having only the champions league title to win this season, and they will do everything possible to achieve that, but their opponent is really a strong and dangerous team, and PSG will do everything possible also to win the champions league. Actually am in support of PSG qualifying for the final.

Arsenal is in good form and they have a very tactical coach who is able to breakthrough to the finals. No matter which angle you view it from, it is not easy to beat Real Madrid home and away. Their strength is their form and coach.

Barcelona is in crazy form than Arsenal. Apart from the champions league, they are also at the top of the Laliga table. They have the potential to eliminate anyone that comes their way.

PSG is also in a good form and have their quality of playing intensive footballike Inter. You might not rate them the best, but being able to Eliminate two English teams tells volume.

Inter are good in form and strength, has more team bond. If they plan you, you will regret meeting them.
I am just happy it is not Madrid or Manchester City Liverpool this time.

Everyone is already making their predictions on the team that will be qualifying for the champions league finial, but some teams might end up surprising us in the semifinal.  

The four teams playing in the semifinals are not only strong but they can also be much more aggressive. It is true that it will be difficult to predict the two teams in the final but we had previously made a specific prediction that Real Madrid would reach the Champions League final again. After that team failed, they are now busy reorganizing the team and it even looks like they might change managers. We can see that Real Madrid's plans now include Enzo Fernandez, they already imagine that this player might be able to play like Toni Kroos.
