UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Arsenal and the fans got so carried away thinking that after beating Real Madrid home and away, they already had their hands in the Champion's league until PSG has just given them some reality check in their very own backyard 
Now it's a huge mountain to climb, and they have to do wonders at the Parc des Princes if they are to get out of the mess. But like I said earlier on, Arsenal fans should not talk of the final until they first eliminate PSG. It's total disrespect to under look your opponent, especially in the Champion's league elimination rounds.

Overall it was an even game and after Dembele scored a goal, if you count the dangerous moments, the game could have ended either 1-1 or 0-2.

Or even 2-2 or 2-3. Donnarumma made some crucial saves that could have put Arsenal ahead earlier; they were shots on target. The only goal conceded was the free kick, and it was declared offside anyway.

I knew PSG had it in them, but to me, it felt more like a draw, even though a single goal could eliminate an opponent. Arsenal played well from beginning to end; it just wasn't their day.

Will they equalize at PSG's home? That I'm not sure. I see it as an advantage for PSG; a goal plus playing at home could be somewhat of an early ticket to the Finals. Yet, anything can happen; all it takes is an equalizer, and Arsenal will be fully back in the game.

I think that changed at the half time drew nearer. Arsenal picked up form and almost even had an equalizer if matinelli had some better.

Arsenal did improved in the second half. Yet, a defeat in the Emirates Stadium will have a bad impact on the second leg when gunners will play away in Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG will not let that golden opportunity escape from them after all this long time. Their odds are rising considerably to play the final and try to get what they are waiting for since years.
Gunners and Arteta has a game in EPL to win before the second leg game next week while I am sure PSG won't care much about their domestic game.

Arsenal were a complete failure tonight. It was the summary of the match. Martinelli... He was a hopeless case. I couldn't count how many chances he wasted after a point. I wonder why Arteta insisted on keeping him in the match anyway.  

Congrats to PSG! They have opened the door slightly for the finale. They were too comfortable with keeping their opponent under pressure for most part of the match. If they keep this up home too then there is no obstacle for them to take their chances with the trophy.

Like seriously? Where you expecting Arsenal to knock off PSG just like that? I was hoping they do that but I never expected it because the chance was small, no way they can do that like it a simple game when PSG hasn't never had it fair, they ball hard and kick any team that comes there way and so Arsenal are going to eventually at the second leg unless football happen but like I said, the chance is small and it will cost them alot even if they try.

This second leg isn't going to be difficult for Arsenal if at all they didn't concede any goal at emirate but because they did, it is going to be difficult for Arsenal. This was exactly what Dortmund did and were thinking it was going to be easy but instead they got whoop in the ass and never qualified but that was even their own home but this is PSG home, only Arteta understand how he plans to win the second leg but it's going to be very difficult.

Arsenal now are in a same situation like PSG in round of 16 by losing in Paris to Liverpool but winning in Merseyside at Anfield stadidum. However performances of Arsenal and PSG at their home stadium are different. PSG played well and impressively against Liverpool even they lost that match, but Arsenal did not play well against PSG in the match today.

This difference means Arsenal will have more difficulty to play in Paris and there is another thing about PSG and Arsenal. PSG are more experienced than Arsenal in Champions League and at their coach positions, Enrique is more experienced than Arteta in Champions League. This factor can be helpful for PSG to have good tactical approach for the second leg in Paris and go straightly to the final match.

Arsenal actually played terrible today, at their home stadium and in a very important match semi final, they got a conceded goal first at a very early minute, 4th  minute. It's terrible start for any club and PSG were too experienced to secure this important win. Arsenal can feel lucky that they only lost 0 - 1 and they only need a minimum win in Paris to equalize aggregated result.

[Ale88]

I must admit that I really didn't see PSG coming out as a winner from the Emirates, it's a huge result! In the past rounds they always had a little luck on their side but tonight they played a very solid game against one of the best teams of the competition. At this point Arsenal really need a miracle to reach the final because winning is Paris is going to be extremely difficult.

Or even 2-2 or 2-3. Donnarumma made some crucial saves that could have put Arsenal ahead earlier; they were shots on target. The only goal conceded was the free kick, and it was declared offside anyway.

exactly, there were some dangerous attacks and shots on target from Arsenal on PSG in this match. In fact, there were some who were already one-on-one with Donnarumma, but the Italian goalkeeper made incredible saves. Really, if it wasn't Donnarumma, PSG might have conceded some goals, maybe.

In this match against Arsenal, there were a total of 5 shots on target from Arsenal, and all of them were Donnarumma saves, yes, just imagine in this big UCL match, Donnarumma can make a clean sheet, a total of 5 saves from 5 shots on target.

Congrats to PSG! They have opened the door slightly for the finale.

After what Arsenal did to Real Madrid, it was clear that subsequent fixtures were going to be very aware of what they are capable of and look to prevent that. PSG certainly have done their homework with Arsenal, came to England to best Arsenal and got 3 points from them. Though a single still means fair play as the match remains open to both sides, it would be more difficult for Arsenal to come to Paris and get a win this time. It’s going to be another interesting game to watch.

[Amphenomenon]

PSG started the match quickly and scored an early goal, shocking Arsenal.
Even Luis Enrique would not have expected such a start. After PSG's early goal, Arsenal closed the half with chances, they came close to scoring but left a scoreless half behind.

I think Luis Enrique won't be really much surprised about their early lead since this is not the first time they are doing something like that rather I will say he would be impressed by the game but knows they need to do more and be careful for them to be the victor at their home in second leg in order to qualify for finals again after a long time in recent seasons.

Arsenal increased the pressure in the second half but could not score the goal they wanted. Referee Slavko Vincic and the linesman were disgraceful, especially the linesman made a mistake in an offside decision.

PSG goalie, Donnarumma provided excellent saves just like his last time against an English team at England. The second leg would be much fierce and I expect more goals, Arsenal hope for final is still very much alive the team can still do much better.

Your analysis shows that you didn't watch the match. That was a balanced match of course. From the possession, number of complete passes, shots off and on target, number of yellow card, etc. Everything seemed balanced.

Arsenal and PSG are arguably the best coached teams in Europe right now. No good football spectator will write any of the teams off. Also, there is no huge mountain anywhere to climb, it is just 1 goal difference. Arsenal has the ability to score two goals in the return leg, so also does psg have. So, it is a balanced meeting, anyone could qualify among them.

PSG used the same strategy as when they beat Liverpool. That is, their fast attack really worked. Luckily Arsenal realized their weakness after conceding 1 goal. So no more goals were scored against them. Arsenal, who also scored a goal, turned out to have their goal disallowed for offside.

But I can understand Arsenal not being able to perform optimally in that match because we know Arsenal has several important players who are injured. Like Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz and others.  So even though Saka has returned, Arsenal still lost another important player who couldn't play in that match. so yeah Arsenal didn't play as well as they should. Meanwhile PSG they played very well as expected.

Arsenal's coach said that the second leg is still a 50 50 game because the game is still open and he considers the first leg the first half and the second leg the second half of this tie. Arsenal has a good chance because luckily, they did not concede more than 1 goal, and in the 2nd leg they need to be very ruthless and make sure to score the first goal else their hopes of a comeback will be affected. Arsenal was able to score a goal even though it was cancelled, that means they can score in the second leg, their attack has to improve.

Arsenal in the first half or early minutes really looked unprepared for every attack carried out by PSG. And they adapt quite slowly. But fortunately it was only 1 goal. because PSG actually had more opportunities to score goals in the first half. And in this case Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya made many good saves throughout the match. But it must be admitted that PSG really played very well. They played quite calmly but aggressively even though this was a game at the opponent's home ground. And I think Arsenal's journey in the second leg will really not be easy. Because if PSG can play this well at home, then we can imagine that PSG will definitely play even better when PSG is the host.

Well, conceding only 1 goal isn't that bad because that way Arsenal still have hope of being able to turn things around in the second leg. Or Arsenal could also make the second leg go to a penalty shootout if they can't score many goals. As long as Arsenal can score 1 goal in the second leg and not concede again. But with the level of attacking aggressiveness that PSG has, I think PSG will have a much greater advantage in the second leg. So yeah it's going to be a really tough game. And as you said, at home PSG could have played better and with a better level of attack. So Arteta really has to create a strategy that can overcome this.

For today's match, namely the Barcelona vs Inter Milan match, I think the home team will not lose. Barcelona is almost similar to PSG in scoring fast goals. So even though at first I was confused about which team to choose. but now I think Barcelona can be expected to win.

After losing the first leg in front of their home fans, Arsenal now need a miracle in the second leg to qualify for the final. PSG managed to steal a win at the Emirates Stadium and make Arsenal their victim again after previously eliminating Liverpool and Aston Villa. PSG came to Arsenal's headquarters with high motivation, this victory is a good capital for them when playing at the Parc des Princes, Arteta must make changes if he wants to make a comeback in the 2nd leg.

PSG are not really favorites in this early phase of the Champions League. because they even had to go through the playoffs just to qualify for the round of 16. But from there they really started to rise and continued to surprise everyone with their performance which was very good, especially in their fast attack rhythm which was difficult to predict. Their game reminds me of Barcelona but PSG is the type that relies more on speed too. And what was most surprising about PSG was when they made Liverpool lose in the round of 16. And the surprise that is most talked about is because PSG always manages to dominate the game very well. Even in the match against Liverpool, we could see that PSG controlled 71% of the ball in the first leg. Liverpool were only able to make 2 attacks on PSG's defense at that time. And I think PSG seemed to make Liverpool look like a weak team in the last 16 first leg, even though in the end Liverpool won the first leg but in the second leg PSG won because again PSG managed to control more of the ball at that time.

And what I mean by talking about this is because in the second leg PSG will be the host and that's the same position as when PSG dominated possession of the ball against Liverpool. So I think Arsenal only has a small hope of turning things around. I'm a little pessimistic about them this time.

In the second leg PSG will play at home and of course that is an advantage for PSG to win more than before, maybe Arsenal still has a chance because the goals scored by PSG are still relatively small but if PSG does more than that in the second leg then Arsenal can do nothing but surrender, I didn't expect PSG to perform this well in the UCL even without Mbappe, Madrid who has Mbappe was eliminated, it was really unlucky.

Mbappe doesn't seem to be having very good luck. because when he was still at PSG we saw that PSG were also eliminated quite quickly from the UCL and then now when Mbappe went to Real Madrid we saw that Real Madrid was eliminated quite quickly from the UCL.

PSG, who will be the hosts, will greatly benefit from the second leg. because in terms of mentality and self-confidence, PSG will definitely be better when they play in front of their own fans. Meanwhile, Arsenal will definitely feel more pressure in the second leg. Because as usual, the away team rarely benefits. But PSG who managed to beat Arsenal at Arsenal's home ground was an exception.

And for today's match Barcelona will face Inter Milan. And I understand that many will favor Barcelona. Not just because they host. But in terms of quality that can be seen, it is clear that Barcelona looks better. but I don't give up hope that Inter Milan will make a miracle even though it is a very small chance. But if Barcelona wins the first leg with a big score then the hopes for Inter Milan are as good as over.

[BlackBoss_]

Mbappe doesn't seem to be having very good luck. because when he was still at PSG we saw that PSG were also eliminated quite quickly from the UCL and then now when Mbappe went to Real Madrid we saw that Real Madrid was eliminated quite quickly from the UCL.

PSG will make history for their club if they beat Arsenal and go to the final match then win it after all. It will be their first ever Champions League title in history and it is ironically only one season after a departure of Mbappe. Mbappe is facing with a very disappointed and failed season with Real Madrid by no title in Champions League, Copa del Rey and perhaps will lose La Liga title to Barcelona too.

PSG, who will be the hosts, will greatly benefit from the second leg. because in terms of mentality and self-confidence, PSG will definitely be better when they play in front of their own fans. Meanwhile, Arsenal will definitely feel more pressure in the second leg. Because as usual, the away team rarely benefits. But PSG who managed to beat Arsenal at Arsenal's home ground was an exception.

They controlled the match in London by opening it very early with a goal from Dembele. With this advantage, they will play a second leg match in Paris with many choices but it does not mean the second match will be easy for PSG. They have an advantage but not too big and they have to secure it in a next match. Arsenal can score goal, equalize an aggregated result and nightmare can come to PSG too. If PSG plays carefully, they can secure this small advantage and go to final match, a second Champions League final match in their history.

And for today's match Barcelona will face Inter Milan. And I understand that many will favor Barcelona. Not just because they host. But in terms of quality that can be seen, it is clear that Barcelona looks better. but I don't give up hope that Inter Milan will make a miracle even though it is a very small chance. But if Barcelona wins the first leg with a big score then the hopes for Inter Milan are as good as over.

Inter Milan are in a mini crisis that is bad for them because the time is dangerous. A crisis in very last weeks of season can cost Inter Milan Scudetto and Chamions League title. Barcelona oppositely are on fire and they can continue it by beating Inter Milan but they must learn from their past lesson. Inter Milan with Jose Mourinho won against Barcelona then won Champions League title even they were considered as much weaker than Barcelona.

Inter Milan and Simeone Inzaghi can repeat that shocked win again, they will surely try to do this, and it's up to Barcelona on how they play two semi final matches with Inter Milan, carefully or carelessly.

Of course the second leg match will give PSG more confidence to win than before. Even in my opinion, Dembele was able to repay his trust in this match, he scored a goal in just four minutes, which was the key point of the match. Many argued that Arsenal were able to do so in a disciplined manner against Madrid, maybe they will be able to do that against PSG too. We saw that the parisians were not at all upset by the euphoric atmosphere at Arsenal's home ground as a result they were ahead at every moment in this match.
Moreover the spectators sitting in front of the TV may have seen that PSG was putting a lot of pressure, maybe we will see exciting moments between Arsenal and PSG in the second match as well.
