UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Die_empty]

Let's hope for a good match because there are really strong teams in the semifinals. I would give a slight advantage to Arsenal since they're playing at home, but PSG is also capable of pulling off surprises away from home. The second leg will be very exciting, and I have a feeling that today's match could end in a draw.

Arsenal could actually be more favorites because they are the hosts in this match. And I personally will also have higher hopes for Arsenal for the first leg. A draw could indeed happen. but I still think Arsenal's chances of winning are much greater for the first leg. I also expect both teams to score goals in this match. And I hope there are more than 2 goals for today's match.

Yeah, home fan support could contribute to the success of a club. But these days, home advantage is not working in some Champions League games. Any team that fails to play well will be well beaten before their home fans. An example is how Arsenal handed Real Madrid a home and away win.

Mikel Arteta really has to be able to take Arsenal to the UCL final because it has been a long time since this team made it to the UCL final. And it looks like Arsenal is only reaching the UCL final for the first time. namely in the 2005/06 season. And since then Arsenal have not managed to return to the UCL final. And Arteta must make new history for Arsenal in the UCL. And that will be a source of pride for Arsenal fans. And Arteta's name will certainly be remembered by many Arsenal fans in history.

Mikel Arteta knows that many things are at stake in this game. Arsenal have been having some heartbreaks in the EPL for the past two seasons. Going to the UCL finals would be a great achievement. But winning the cup will give the Gunner's fans an uncommon joy and make Arteta a legend.

Extra time should stay. They always "talk" about some changes, like if they would be allowed to use foot during throw-in which wasn't really a horrible idea, but then throw ins near the corner line would be basically corners lol. Those type of wild considerations do happen, extra time is important and shouldn't be gone in my opinion. Look at just United vs Lyon game this season alone, it happened literally recently, was it a week ago or so?

The game was so much fun, and if there were no extra time then we wouldn't have that game. Football would be missing something quite important. The other rules look like they are not that important, second leg, home vs away, those are all could happen stuff and I am fine with them, unimportant to me.

Arsenal seem more focused in their champions league games this season than in they focused in the Premier League. You know they've had two seasons of near success in their English Premier League race, and don't want to put much of hope their, whereas the joy that they're looking for could come from another side and in a bigger way, I'm currently not judging what Arsenal currently does in their EPL games after witnessing their incredible performance against Real Madrid at the Champions League,  that shows they have more interest their since Liverpool are already at the verge of winning this season's trophy.

PSG weren't playing like this during that time. It wasn't an easy qualification for them as you know. But after leaving that time period behind we started to watch a much different team. It is like Luis Enrique has done some magic. The team effort is way stronger than ever. This is why I don't expect them to give up easily tonight. What am I expecting from this match? A win for Arsenal... But in my opinion it wouldn't be very comfortable in score this time. This matchup can actually finish after extra time or even penalties maybe.

The opportunity for PSG to win lies in the second leg not in the first leg later at the Emirates Stadium. PSG with Luis Enrique's cool touch has promised to be expected more in the Champions League this season but Arsenal also has a good chance to reach the final round.
Arsenal must be able to keep PSG from breaking through Raya's goal. If PSG are able to score, Arsenal must win by a margin of 2 goals.
It will be the toughest challenge for Arsenal if the first leg at the Emirates, PSG are able to take 1 point.

The match will be balanced and exciting, but Arsenal has a good chance if it avoids defensive errors. PSG relies on Mbappé's individual performance, making its chances of winning slim compared to Arsenal, which relies on the consistency of play among all its players.

In my opinion, Arsenal has seen significant improvement under Mikel Arteta, with a balanced team between attack and defense. Meanwhile, PSG's defense isn't always at its best, especially with absence of Marquinhos or individual errors.

I can't perceive Arsenal as a favorite in this match, although they went well in the group stage, much better than PSG, but PSG are favorites for me even in this away match for them. The match will definitely be difficult, but I think that PSG can win today. You shouldn't think that Arsenal is already in the final just because they were able to beat Real. If Arteta can reach the final, it will be unexpected, if they can win the Champions League at all, then he will be forgiven for all the seasons when Arsenal was second in the Premier League, but there are Barcelona and PSG, it seems to me that these teams are stronger than Arsenal.

In football matches, the H2H factor is very important. I know that PSG are playing very well. As a PSG fan, I would also like to see them reach the final and win the European Champions League, since the other teams that I am also a fan of, such as Real Madrid, Bayern and Liverpool, were eliminated. However, being realistic, Arsenal has a better chance of winning and when I place bets, I always leave feelings aside.

Disagreed, h2h is sometimes being irrelevant when there was massive changes happened to the squad. They have good h2h against PSG, but european is often give you a surprise. The odds is in favor Arsenal, but relatively big consider it's more than two. Even bigger when they fought Madrid.
As for the bet, prefer to take BTTS in this game. Arsenal may win, but with narrow score.

[Justbillywitt]

seeing how things are going for Inter I would say that the situation for them is very difficult, the fact that they were overtaken by Napoli who are now 3 points ahead of them lowers their morale a lot, for the match against the Catalans I predict that there will be a very tense match, there are two things, either they are concentrating all their forces on the Champions League, or they are giving up

Looking at the morales at the two clubs you will see that one is coming into the match with a excitement and with a clear focus which is to win. But the other team is still confused on what's happening to their squad at this critical stage of the season. Losing a semi final cup match and losing top of the league in a matter of few days is totally devastating to inter Milan. I don't see how the situation favours them in this match. Barcelona on the other hand won their first trophy of the season, and their players have now started dreaming of treble. I don't see how Inter Milan can defeat Barcelona and knock them out at this stage.  I am rooting for Barcelona to advance.

The only team in this semi-finals that is still doing well in their local league is Barcelona. They currently won the Copa del Rey after defeating Real Madrid. They are still maintaining their lead in La Liga. Inter Milan just lost the top position in the Seria A to Napoli after they lost against Roma. Arsenal just lost the Premiership to Liverpool when they drew against Crystal Palace. So, from all indications, almost all of these teams are placing more emphasis on the UCL.

I don't think any team will give up in the current end of the season conditions, especially if it is in the Champions League. I agree more with the point about focusing all their strength on the Champions League so we should not assume that Inter Milan has become weak just because they lost by one goal in the domestic League. Barcelona must stay focused and alert to any opponent, especially if it is Inter Milan where the team is still not weak at this time.

[stompix]

The case for Arsenal at this time, besides benefiting from playing at home, they also greatly benefited from seeing PSG's current focus, especially in domestic competitions they are not in good condition so that indeed this could be a whip of more enthusiasm for Arsenal,

PSG has won the Ligue since April 5th, there is no point in them even playing with the first team in the remaining matches, it makes no sense to stretch your team over something you have no benefit from.

PSG do have a winning streak in the domestic league but their stats but can it be compared between Ligue 1 and the EPL? And besides that we can look at their last 5 matches in all competitions in the end you also have to accept that PSG lost 2 times to Aston Villa in the Champions League second leg as well as last week when they were beaten 1-3 by Nice at the Parc des Princes.

Why would we even compare a competition that was over like a month ago with the current one?
PSG has won it, there is absolutely no point in them even scoring a goal when they need to rest their players for a way more important tournament.
And again, why only Aston Villa, they eliminated Liverpool, which is the uncontested leader of the  Premier League, who cares how they did it, they did it, and that's what everyone is looking at. Inter lost to Bayer and then proceeded to eliminate Bayern, Monaco beat Barcelona, see how this works?

As always when I'm in these debates, if you're so sure of it, and you think bookies are wrong by giving such low odds to PSG why don't you take advantage of it?

The two teams set up differently as Inter plays more defensively and look to counter, Barca on the other hand love to control the tempo of the game.

I think this match would test both teams mentally.

Will Barca be able to play through Inter Milan low block or will Inter be able to catch Barca off-guard.

Goals should be expected in this match since it's a sides with good attacking forwards with prolific goal scoring abilities. I am tempted to take a side but I will rather keep my thoughts with me about this game until the first leg is played because it's the result of this game that will be a determinant of how the second leg would be looking like and which side will be with higher chances of qualifying to the finals. I just want to enjoy great football tonight whatever the scoreline might be.

Looking at their last h2h is enough in fact. Arsenal beat them 2-0 during league phase, right?    But there is another important fact here.

PSG weren't playing like this during that time. It wasn't an easy qualification for them as you know. But after leaving that time period behind we started to watch a much different team.

A win for Arsenal... But in my opinion it wouldn't be very comfortable in score this time. This matchup can actually finish after extra time or even penalties maybe.

I also looked at the stats of the last meetings between Arsenal and PSG where PSG have never beaten Arsenal yet... PSG have drawn once and lost four times away, which already speaks volumes... I think that today Arsenal will win again and score more than one goal... Another one of my favourite bets is corners, I think that in this game we will see more than 9,5 corners...

[Adbitco]

Reminder:
On this day exactly 11 years ago, Pep Guardiola had his biggest loss in a single Champions League home game in the hands of Ancelotti and his boys. Sergio Ramos scored two incredible headers before Ronaldo scored his 15th and 16th Champions League goals which is the most goals scored in a single Champions League campaign. Bayern Munich went on to lose that very game 4 - 0 on the night in Munich.

[$crypto$]

As for the bet, prefer to take BTTS in this game. Arsenal may win, but with narrow score.

BTTS is better or over 2.5 goals considering Arsenal played at home quite a lot of goals before, but this time we don't know yet so I will probably bet on BTTS.
I won't try a parlay in tomorrow's match (Barcelona vs Inter Milan) it will be thought again how to take in the bet, but tonight I think the prediction where Arsenal can win.

The only team in this semi-finals that is still doing well in their local league is Barcelona. They currently won the Copa del Rey after defeating Real Madrid.

Arsenal just lost the Premiership to Liverpool when they drew against Crystal Palace. So, from all indications, almost all of these teams are placing more emphasis on the UCL.

Barcelona are eyeing a Treble Winner after successfully winning the CDR trophy, the victory achieved over Real Madrid further solidified their position as a team that is difficult to beat throughout 2025. Inter have been slipping in the last few matches, the situation experienced by Inter is very beneficial for Barcelona who are still able to maintain their best performance.
Arsenal and PSG will soon play a life-or-death game to change their history as teams that have never won the UCL trophy. This game is more exciting than the battle between the two other teams that have won this trophy several times.

[IceLincoln]

I just watched a video of Arsenal fan and podcast host Robbie saying that Arsenal is going to win the Champions League because according to his research every time a pope passes away, an English team wins the UCL dating back from 1978-2022. Now that’s just crazy.

That’s mad crazy, I’m a fan of history in sports and a lot seems to favor Arsenal right now but sometimes Histories are broken just like records. Now if Arsenal makes it to the finals and meets Barcelona, it’ll be a different story.. lol 😂   . Arsenal fans are hoping on history to favor them but the players have to do more than normal. Winning the UCL has never been easy, teams that do win it fight for it till the end
Arsenal fans have to calm down and win PSG first before they start talking of winning the UCL, the teams  remaining are very strong opponents.
Among the four teams in the semis, nobody is talking about inter but they’re the silent killers, Barcelona pumped up stats and form has silenced their hype but they’re still a formidable side despite their recent run of form.
Tonight I give Arsenal a win by a small margin.

[JMBitcointernational]

The match will be balanced and exciting, but Arsenal has a good chance if it avoids defensive errors. PSG relies on Mbappé's individual performance, making its chances of winning slim compared to Arsenal, which relies on the consistency of play among all its players.

Sorry but you got this wrong, you have forgotten that Mbappe is no longer at PSG but now Real Madrid. PSG are now more of a team that plays like Arsenal, team football dependent on its players and not just one person.

In my opinion, Arsenal has seen significant improvement under Mikel Arteta, with a balanced team between attack and defense. Meanwhile, PSG's defense isn't always at its best, especially with absence of Marquinhos or individual errors.

Arsenal has won them once, but doing it again can be a challenge with a key player of that in midfield missing also.

Barcelona must stay focused and alert to any opponent, especially if it is Inter Milan where the team is still not weak at this time.

Since it is currently the semi-final match, neither team will want to lose, but will attack with their maximum strength and best performance. These semi-final matches of the Champions League are going to be even more interesting, where we can see that neither team will give up, PSG and Arsenal. On the other hand, Barcelona and Inter, these two teams will fight with much more excitement. The Champions League fight will never be weak, but it will be strong. Barcelona has been in very good form recently where they are beating every team, so they will enter the field more united against Inter. Each team will try to attack with more strength in their home field in this Champions League semi-final match and will inspire them to move forward in the result.
