UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

I don't think the home advantage will count for anything. PSG dominated the game in the first twenty minutes. Arsenal grew into the game and dominated the second half. They should be able to take that positive to the second leg in France and put pressure on PSG from kickoff.

A one-goal lead is very easy to recover from; the boys do not need to lose their heads.

Declan Rice did not have that freedom of being able to run forward because of Partey's absence. With Partey in the second leg, Arsenal has got a better chance.

Declan Rice was the perfect number 8 during the game against Real Madrid because he had Thomas Partey right behind him giving him that freedom but yesterday? He struggled as Neves, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha dominated the midfield completely. The champions of league one had loopholes and if they don't work on that, they'll be exploited greatly. Also, Nuno Mendes did absolutely great to tame down Saka last night, it was some easypeasy job for him to handle. Martinelli and Trossasd did snooze when they shouldn't have.

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.

This is totally beyond our expectations. I watched the first half and PSG completely dominated they almost scored a few more goals lol. After PSG beat Arsenal in the first leg and now Sportsbook predictions have changed completely they put PSG as the main candidate to win the UCL Trophy, last week I also posted this prediction where Barcelona is the first favorite then Arsenal and PSG now Arsenal are 4th favorites, yeah really drastic change.

Next we will wait between Barcelona vs Inter Milan, we know Barcelona is predicted to win but after seeing yesterday's result I won't be confident choose one of them I mean there's a chance we'll see another surprise moreover Inter Milan is not a team that can be underestimated. Will the final between PSG vs Inter Milan really happen?

Congratulations to PSG for their victory, the next match will be more difficult for Arsenal because they will play at PSG home, they have to train harder, improve their game patterns and coordination between players if they want to win in the upcoming match.

I didn’t watch the match last night—unfortunately, I finished work late and missed most of it. But from what I saw in the highlights and what I’ve read online, Arsenal didn’t play that well. That’s a shame, because they’ve had a fantastic run in the Champions League so far.
Even during the big group stage earlier in the competition, there was already an Arsenal vs PSG match that ended 2-0. So they knew how to beat PSG, but of course, with the pressure of a Champions League semifinal, nerves and fear of making mistakes can take over!

Anyway, nothing’s over yet—Arsenal can still turn this around… they just need to believe!

[Pandu Geddon]

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.

The second leg will be the decider, of course, the match will be more exciting. Arsenal will certainly give their all, if not they can be destroyed at PSG's home ground, which of course is very eager to win the Champions League, which they have targeted for a long time.
1 goal advantage will not give anything. Everything can still change even in the last minutes. PSG will not be too comfortable with this advantage. They will try to get a better win in the second leg and make sure to qualify for the top match.

[kawetsriyanto]

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.

It was too late to realize the weakness. Conceding 1 goal can be very crucial because the next Leg will be more difficult. They will play against PSG away in Leg 2, I'm sure PSG will play with an extra motivation at home. It was quite unfortunate that Arsenal failed scoring a goal because they missed a big chance. We can't blame the referee if it was offside. Arsenal made more shots on target but scoring 0 goal. The problem is in the accuracy of Arsenal attackers.

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.

It is true that Arsenal has no pure strikers, all of the strikers are injured now. However, they can beat Real Madrid with the current available players. It means they have no big problem with the attacking line. Saka has proven his role when he he scored a goal in Leg 2 against Real Madrid. If Arsenal was defeated today, it means PSG is just a stronger team.

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.

PSG is leading with 1 goal, the chance to reach the final round is no longer 50:50. In leg 2, Arsenal can't be conceded a goal and must score 2 goals if they want to qualify for the final. So I doubt if Arsenal can stop PSG attackers. PSG has quality attackers, they have strong defenders. Moreover PSG will have an advantage to play at their own stadium. IMO, PSG is already one step in the final, I think only miracle that can make Arsenal to play in the final round.

[Out of mind]

PSG have performed brilliantly in order to enter the final of the Champions League, they did not miss their opportunity. PSG have progressed by defeating Arsenal at home. PSG are performing brilliantly in the Champions League this season, the powerful attack they have made was really extraordinary and their attack and defense were also very good. A goal in the first four minutes of the game gave the PSG team a lot of confidence, due to which they played more responsibly. PSG attacked and defended much more than Arsenal, looking at their current performance, it seems that they still have regrets to enter the final this season. PSG will definitely try to defeat Arsenal by a bigger margin at their home ground, if Arsenal fails to score, they will be eliminated from the semi-finals.

[Mahiyammahi]

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.

It's definitely true that without Mbappe winning the UEFA Champions League for PSG will be historic and iconic. It would be premature to declare Mbappe a failure at Real Madrid in his first season of match play. Changes will takes time, still he is a key player with a impressive individual experience skill. Besides, judging one team's legacy takes time, it won't be just in one season. Lets see how things goes on.

This is totally beyond our expectations. I watched the first half and PSG completely dominated they almost scored a few more goals lol. After PSG beat Arsenal in the first leg and now Sportsbook predictions have changed completely they put PSG as the main candidate to win the UCL Trophy, last week I also posted this prediction where Barcelona is the first favorite then Arsenal and PSG now Arsenal are 4th favorites, yeah really drastic change.

Will the final between PSG vs Inter Milan really happen?

Yes, it was impressive with PSG's first leg performance; they deserve the full credit for how dominant they were in the match. But we saw in the Champions League how unpredictable it can be, the 2nd leg often flipped the script. That's how the reactive sportsbooks are to short-term form. I think Arsenal still has the chance and quality to bounce back, and it's still wide open regarding the Barça vs Inter. Inter's experience and team structure make them a significant threat. A PSG vs Inter final could happen. This UCL season feels like anything can happen.

Now Arsenal steps are getting harder after losing 0-1 to PSG, they were unable to catch up despite having several opportunities to change the score back to a draw and the full support of their supporters was unable to change the situation. PSG actually dominated the game and had the opportunity to increase their lead, this result put Arsenal under even more pressure when playing at PSG headquarters in the 2nd leg, especially since they had previously eliminated two other EPL representatives, but surprises could happen.

Barcelona who will face Inter must learn from the defeat at Dortmund headquarters, the first leg which will be played at their headquarters must be used to score as many goals as possible. They must be able to control the game by controlling ball possession, maintaining the tempo of the game and attacking football, Barcelona must be able to take advantage of opportunities to score goals because Inter has a strong defense that is difficult to penetrate, the proof is that they only conceded 5 goals in the UCL this season.

Enrique was able to learn from Arsenal's games with Real Madrid and block all the players who could do something, and they also managed to score an early goal, which I think also discouraged Arteta from the very beginning. Arsenal could also score, they were close to playing this match in a draw, but PSG was luckier and Donarumma was good. Well, it looks like it might be over for Arsenal in this Champions League, I doubt they will be able to beat PSG away, most likely PSG will win again at home.

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.

i don't think mbappe is unlucky. if the team you left because you didn't win anything is now marching to the final of the champions league and the team you preferred to him was eliminated in the quarterfinals and is having one of its worst seasons, maybe the problem is with you.

mbappe is unquestionably a successful player. but it doesn't look good for mbappe from now on. he came to real madrid and if he stays here for a few more seasons he will surely win some trophies. but will he win those trophies because he is in the team or because he is just “a member of the team”, that is the question.

[knowngunman]

Yes, Arsenal could have scored but PSG would have have scored even more too. Both teams goal keepers were at their best form yesterday and saved their teams from conceding more goals and equalizing goal respectively. I share the same opinion as yours because I don't know or see how Arsenal will pull a come back against Paris in their backyard.

Mind you, PSG is well aware that it's not yet over with a single away goal and they will definitely want to finish it up in front of their fans at the stadium they haven't lost so far in the champions league this season. The hardest part was for Paris to come to Emirates and get advantage but it was actually done and just like Madrid, Arsenal might lose home and away in this fixture.

Well, it looks like it might be over for Arsenal in this Champions League, I doubt they will be able to beat PSG away, most likely PSG will win again at home.

The early goal was the advantage that PSG had over Arsenal, coupled with Donarumma who was too good to allow any of Arsenal's ball pass through him into the goal post. Donarumma made quite some pretty saves. PSG is becoming deadly and they are not taking their matches lightly with any EPL club.

PSG had kicked out two EPL clubs out of their way in this competition. First was Liverpool and later Aston Villa. Would it be that they will still kick out Arsenal in the semifinals, the chance of that happening is very high. Arsenal needs to understand this and know that PSG is dangerous and should not underestimate them.

[Nheer]

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.

Lol... So funny, before the match i see a lot of Arsenal fans making claims that they PSG is not an obstacle for them and that they are the favorite to win the champions league title and no team can stop them from reaching the final. To be frank after seeing their performance against Real Madrid i also got convinced that Arsenal and Barcelona were the best teams and i already predicted a final between them but i guess Real Madrid was the team that wasn't good enough this season.

PSG really humbled Arsenal fans, they were too confident and never thought PSG would perform this way against them. PSG winning at Emirates stadium is really interesting now it might be easier for them to win at their own stadium but i am sure Arsenal will not go down easily they will do all they can in the second leg to turn things around.

They are too optimistic and over confident about their quality and ability only after two excellent matches against Real Madrid. They unfortunately forgot that PSG had more big matches in Champions League last decade than Arsenal and PSG learned more valuable lessons from those past big matches as well as painful lessons so that they are more experienced than Arsenal in big matches.

This semi final ended as a win for PSG and it is good advantage for PSG in a second leg. I believe that Enrique will let his players playing very defensively and carefully in defense, then wait for counter attack to beat Arsenal down in Paris.

Arsenal can not rely on a central defensive midfielder like Declan Rice as a decisive player with goals in all of their matches. In this match they scored a goal by Merino, another midfielder and it shows something about their weak attacking system, lack of creativeness and lack of enough alternative attacking solutions if Saka is constrainted by opponent.

[Barikui1]

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.

You are actually on point here, nothing is won or lost here because it's just like a half time encounter between these two teams, though as it stands psg are the favourite to progress to the finals but just as you have rightfully said, psg knows that they can't be too comfortable with just a one zero lead which can be overturned very quickly, so I am quite certain that due to the fact that they have a coach with an attacking mindset in the persons of Luis Enrique, they will be going on the attack in the reverse fixture of this game, because psg coach knows very well that the best way to defend is to attack, because if they decide to defend from the very unset of the game, they wouldn't survive it at all because arsenal has too much quality in their ranks to punish them if they decide to thread that route.

Secondly, another thing that I feels like is going to be a defining factor in this reverse fixture coming up is the tactical impetus of both coaches and how they approach the game, so on that note, the one that came out on top will definitely carries the day which I will be expecting Luis Enrique's psg to carry the day, because he is a head and shoulder above mikel arteta when it comes to coaching and experience.

Would it be that they will still kick out Arsenal in the semifinals, the chance of that happening is very high. Arsenal needs to understand this and know that PSG is dangerous and should not underestimate them.

It is undeniable that Donnarumma's performance is quite impressive and it did not only happen in this match but since several previous Champion League matches we can see that Donarumma is really tough enough to guard PSG's goal.
Dembele's quick goal made everything look easy, throughout the match PSG players played confidently after leading 1 goal first.

This victory is quite important for PSG, it will make it easier for them in the second leg later and in terms of percentage PSG to be able to qualify for the final is very large because in the second leg PSG will play at home which allows them to win again.

[KTChampions]

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.

At the moment, PSG's chances of reaching the final are estimated at 1.20 and it is difficult to consider this assessment unfair. Overall, the upcoming game is rated less unbalanced:

2.06 - 3.50 - 3.60

But given the home game and one goal advantage, Arsenal's chances look dubious. Plus, it seems to me that Arsenal don't have the mentality to win in losing situations. The fact that they lose points in the Premier League "in the name of the Champions League" harms the mentality of a team that should always fight for victory.

[MK-74]

PSG played better than Arsenal and won. I liked them yesterday.
Arsenal didn't respond to the early goal, they scored early in the second half but it was disallowed for offside.
PSG had clear chances to score in the last minutes of the match but couldn't take them.
In games like this you have to make the most of these opportunities because they are very much needed in the second games.

[Solokan]

PSG and Arsenal really performed amazingly today because they played well and maximally and of course I think Arsenal and PSG's strengths are almost equal because they did good attacks and also good defense. but in this match I was very disappointed with Arsenal because they as the host failed to beat PSG of course there must be many Arsenal fans who are also disappointed with Arsenal because they failed to win the match but if I was disappointed because I lost the bet. what about you?

PSG must be happy right now because they were able to beat Arsenal at their home base and of course now PSG already has a capital of 1 goal and of course PSG will have the potential to appear more confident when competing in the 2nd leg at their home base because usually if they play at their home base it will definitely make PSG more enthusiastic. but considering Arsenal who are 1 goal behind of course there is still hope for Arsenal to turn things around but it will definitely take extra effort from Arsenal players to win. I want to know if you think Arsenal can qualify for the final?

[koang]

Anyway, nothing’s over yet—Arsenal can still turn this around… they just need to believe!

Yep. The team must be confident and must be full of power!
The Champions League is elite football a few centimeters can determine the future.
But Arsenal needs to stay relaxed and not press too much. Let's focus on counter-attacks. Arsenal should attack for the first 20 minutes, and then switch to counter-attacking. So, Arsenal can still turn it around but gonna need to get a goal in the first half else it’s over! IMO
