UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Catenaccio]

Just like i said before that Girona consistency will be tested next season when they have to divide their focus to playing at several different competitions besides Laliga such as Champion League so we will see whether they still able to performing well just like they showed last season or not but because this is the first time for Girona so i think it's hard for them because Champion League has different atmosphere compared to Laliga

It is always challenging for underdogs like Girona to maintain success after one surprising successful season and Girona will have to cope with same challenge. They will struggle to maintain their good performances and look at their transfer market activities, some players moved out and some moved in.

Girona's activities on transfer market.

Noticeable, I pay attention on Donny Van de Beek moved in and Aleix Garcia moved out to Barcelona. The sale of Aleix Garcia helped Girona to get good money but it will affect their squad quality. Van de Beek used to be a good midfielder in Ajax Amsterdam but a transfer to Manchester United destroyed his career recently years and it's hard for him to come back with Girona.

Because next season Champion League will have new format i think to qualified to knockout stages is more difficult for the participant teams including Girona because at league phase they will fight against plenty of strong teams early from different countries so that's why i personally didn't expect more to Girona performance in this competition even most likely Girona will not able to qualified to round of 16

They will enjoy scarce chances to play in Champions League and will pay a lot of attention on it. It will cause side effects and they will have high risk to spend less attention on La Liga so I am thinking of worse performances of Girona in La Liga and they likely will finish a next season beyond top four.

Be realistic like if Girona sacrifice Champions League, that they will not do, and only focus on La Liga, they will not easily to end it in top four.

I don't expect teams like Girona and Bologna to do well in the Champions League next season. However, there is no doubt that both these teams have played brilliantly in the last season. The Girona team competed for the La Liga title. And it was a completely unexpected event. The Girona team has struggled to avoid relegation in the past. But last season this team fought for the title.

However, we have seen erratic performances from Girona's players in the matches at the end of the season. Moreover, if you want to perform consistently well in the Champions League, you need a lot of experience. Girona and Bologna management may be able to build stronger squads if they spend money. But getting the squad players experienced will not be an easy task for Girona and Bologna.

Teams like Girona and Bologna are not teams that often play in the Champions League so their level of play will be very different, even though both of them played well in their respective leagues last season. As we know, the Champions League is very competitive and the competition here is quite big so it will be difficult for them to qualify for the next stage. Every season there will definitely be one team that is quite surprising but when entering the next season most of them lose their best form.

Without having experienced players it will be much harder to play in the Champions League and even we see how strong teams that often play in the league also have difficulty facing the tight competition. I don't think both of them will easily get through the group phase because there will be quite tight competition from the opponents they will face.

[Jossque]

Karabakh will host their opponent at home on Tuesday. We can say that Karabakh will be the team that makes the round after their 2-0 away win. Lincoln Red don't stand a chance against them.
Apoel, on the other hand, managed to defeat their opponents 1-0 at home in the first meeting. Now they go on the road and a risky and potential match awaits them. We can say that both sides can go through and maybe the match will go to extra time.

For now it is still appropriate to say that, but who knows if they are the ones who can make a big surprise in the Champions League next season even though I myself still doubt that both teams can go further in the Champions League. Because if both teams can fail from the start in the Champions League, at least they can go down to the Europa League to be able to compete with the big teams there even though the level of competition is a little different, but it is still quite interesting to watch.

The result of this match will be clear who will win it and easy steps have been taken by Qarabag since the first leg meeting last week after defeating Lincoln Red in front of their own fans. With an aggregate difference of two goals, Qarabag does not need to work hard in front of their fans in the second leg and only needs to close the victory by adding 1 or 2 more goals. Moreover, if Qarabag does not take a definite victory, Lincoln Red could succeed in equalizing the aggregate and forcing them to continue in a match that drains the stamina of their players.

Well, for Apoel, they must silence Petrocup decisively if they want to secure a step to the next round because this narrow aggregate difference will not make them comfortable and instead they will play totally attacking in order to increase their aggregate difference. On the other hand, Petrocub has a greater chance because they get full support from their fans at home and I think turning the aggregate around is not difficult for them.

But overall, I will still favor Qarabag and Apoel and also include these two matches in the next bet.

These clubs that have earned a top spot in the UEFA Champions League next season, I don't think most of them would survive because its definitely going to be a long rough run for them. They've failed completely to survive and winning becomes very volatile for them. This is not one of these random leagues where they keep domination, rather they're facing elite opponents, where they're ought to pave path for their progress.

Girona will absolutely push for the big phases in the UEFA Champions League, they've what it takes to reach the finals, only if they're able to maintain the stellar performance they had previous season. It's definitely complex for them but I know one thing for a fact, Girona will packed huge incredible form.

Because if both teams can fail from the start in the Champions League, at least they can go down to the Europa League to be able to compete with the big teams there even though the level of competition is a little different, but it is still quite interesting to watch.

Both Girona and Bologna have qualified for the champions league and if they fail to qualify for the round of 16, they will be eliminated.
Take note that this season no team from the champions league will go to the europa league. There will be a new format for UEFA champions league and europa league.

[Jossque]

Sparta Prague have the upper hand after beating their opponents 2-0 away from home in the first leg. Shamrock Rovers have no chance of eliminating Prague away from home, so we can say that Sparta will go through.
Ferencvaros, on the other hand, managed to win 5-0 against a weak opponent. They are a team that has the potential to win again, most probably away against a weak opponent. They will have eliminated their opponent in an easy way.

Honestly, I don't think that teams like Girona and Bologna will do well in the Champions League. I've seen average teams like them qualify for the Champions League once in a while. For example, I remember Leicester City winning the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League, but they had poor performances. We also witnessed Newcastle's performances last season, which were not impressive.

Given this, I don't expect great performances from Girona and Bologna with their current squads. However, we'll have to wait and see how they perform. The truth is that the Champions League is a tough competition where many great teams from different leagues meet. Based on my observation, they may find it very hard to perform well.

Football is unpredictable, and surprises can happen, but I still don't think Bologna and Girona will go far in the competition because of the type of players they currently have in their squads.

[Lidger]

If you add Arsenal to the list, you will have to consider to add more clubs to it. Arsenal is good but not like a very strong team with too much better competitiveness than many clubs around Europe. Arsenal are not much better than Barcelona and if you bring this question up for discussion, there will not come to any universal conclusion. It means these clubs are not different too much in quality and competitiveness.

I have included Arsenal in the list of best teams because Arsenal are ahead when compared to other teams. Arsenal competes hard with Manchester City in the Premier League but they have consistently underperformed in the Champions League but we have seen this for a long time. While the big teams plan to win the Champions League, their destination seems to be to win the Premier League. But if they plan the right players for the Champions League with the players they have in the club then they will definitely do well in the Champions League.
Arsenal didn't have too many injury problems last season which is why they lost the Premier League title with Manchester City on points. First of all, every important player should try to finish the whole season without injury because while other teams have good quality backup players, but Arsenal do not have good quality players as backup, it is definitely a big problem for them.

I don't think the team is capable of causing a surprise in the Champions League, as you know, the Champions League is very competitive and big clubs from various Leagues are there. Girona and Bologna have been surprise package in their respective leagues, but the different atmosphere in the Champions League will mean that these clubs will feel the pressure when facing stronger teams.

I have not fully understood the new format implemented in the Champions League in the 2024/25 season, whether there are still teams going down to the Europa League or not, but based on the new format, teams will play eight matches in the new league phase (previously the group phase). They will no longer play three other teams twice (Home and Away), but will face matches against eight different teams and half of the matches will be played at home and the other half will be played away. Based on this format, Girona and Bologna will have a hard time competing with other clubs, especially as they are new teams in the Champions League.

I think Arsenal have fought their best in the champions league tournament, it's just that maybe they are not used to and do not have high qualifications to compete in the champions league, as we know that the champions league has heavy-beart clubs, they are the strongest opponents from their respective domestic leagues so it is very difficult to get a win in the champions league.

The impossible thing for Arteta to do is to waste time in the champions league, because they have always entered the champions league so far so it is very difficult to say that the champions league is just a formality match for Arsenal, while there are many teams out there who want to enter the champions league.

The champions league is indeed very extraordinary and yes Arsenal need to pay attention to their team again to be able to compete, some substitutes as a second choice when one of the core players is injured they have a substitute who is worthy of competing and can carry out the same task and in ability and performance should not have a very far difference between substitutes and core players because it will be very heavy in a team.

If Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the top three clubs in the Champions League, then I think one more club should be added here and that is Arsenal. Maybe we don't see such a good performance from Arsenal in the Champions League, that's why we can't put this team in the list of favorite teams. Injury problems are unwelcome and can happen to every club, but Arsenal's players are known to have the most injuries every season. If you have looked at Arsenal's performance in the last Champions League season, they have not performed where we would consider them the best team for the Champions League.

Arsenal need to plan to do well in the Champions League in the same way that Real Madrid plan to win the Champions League trophy. They should consider the Champions League tournament as mandatory, leaving the Premier League as a secondary option, but they will do well in the Champions League

That's a bit of an exaggeration because after all, although I realize that for the last 2 seasons Arsenal have been quite good, but for the Champions League the fact is that they are still far away if they are considered as one of the seeds with the greatest probability especially with the existence of several clubs such as Madrid and Manchester City.

Arsenal are good but we also have to realize that in the end we can see Arsenal's performance is not that good when talking about competition in the Champions League. Not only in the current Arteta Era but indeed from previous eras even during the golden era they were unable to become champions because their best phase in the Champions League was only up to the final and that happened almost 2 decades ago.

Indeed, I know that in the end Arsenal are still very good for a club but in the Chmapions League they have to be better than now if they want to be juxtaposed with some big clubs who are regular champions in the Champions League because for now Arsenal still don't have that kind of capacity.

Qarabag are a team that I admire. You remember what they did against Leverkusen last season, right? They showed such a huge resistance that for once so many people thought Leverkusen were going to say goodbye to the Europa League. I admire their determination as a result.    There is no guarantee they will maintain it in the Champions League too but still nice to watch them.

Probably they are going to face a big challenge if they make it to the playoff round. I wonder what they will do then. For now, it is sensible to bet on Qarabag win considering their opponents.

I don't think both of them will easily get through the group phase because there will be quite tight competition from the opponents they will face.

Performing well in your domestic league does not mean that you will not be faced with challenges in UCL because it is the league that you need to go extra miles before you will be able to win the regular clubs because they have good experience of the league. This is why last season everyone was surprised towards Dortmund performance because it has been a long time they went far in UCL.

However, Bologna and Girona might be lucky to be in a group that will not be difficult for them to qualify from the group stage but they will not survive the round of 16 if it happens like that. It is good that they come to UCL so that they can have the experience even though they are kicked out in the group stage. That will make better work better on the team when next they qualify to UCL.

Maybe I am more inclined to Bologna than Girona, maybe in terms of play Girona is far superior to Bologna, but the achievement of Bologna players up to this point and playing in the Champions League is an extraordinary achievement for Bologna, because this is the first time Bologna has played back in the Champions League. Bologna last appeared in European competition in 1964.

I don't want to underestimate the game of Bologna or Girona because both have shown their capacity as big clubs from their respective Leagues, so in my opinion all the clubs that appear in the Champions League are certainly the top teams from their respective country's Leagues, so in my opinion Bologna will be able to compete with big clubs in the group phase.

~snip~

Girona was a strong contender last season despite not winning the league and I expect them to get better next season so we should also watch out for them when we point out other teams that can possibly win the league next season.

Could we see Girona become a surprise club among the strong teams in the champions league? maybe the answer is not available for now but anything can still happen. They did have a good season last season in the domestic league and their strengths do need to be tested in a bigger competition to prove their worthiness here.

As long as coach Michel is still the coach of Girona it should be no problem but it is quite unfortunate that they lost some of their players in the summer and I think that will make them a little weak. Arthem Dovbyk is expected to be a goal hungry striker and maybe he will also enter the list of top scorers in the champions league if his sharpness does not dull.

If Girona can retain most of their key players, there is a chance that Michel's squad will make a surprise, like they did last season in La Liga. Girona will be playing their first season in the Champions League, of course Michel is determined not to be eliminated quickly. Girona is quite active in the transfer market, Abel Ruiz, Ladislav Krecji, Donyy Van De Beek, Alenjandro Frances and Gabriel Misehouy have been successfully brought in. However, there is bad news about their striker Arthem Dovbyk who is reportedly willing to move to AS Roma, previously Girona had lost Aleix Garcia, in my opinion Girona management must convince their players to stay and make another breakthrough next season.

The possibility of Girona having a good performance like they did last season depends on the ability of their management to retain them old players no doubt this will help the new players to adapt faster with team and form a stronger squad better than what they had last season but right now they have brought in some good players which is indeed a welcome development but they shouldn't allow their players to leave the team especially their striker Arthem Dovbyk who was an instrumental player last season, they need to convince their players to remain in the team because the new players will not easily get adapted to the team and it will affect the performance of the team next season especially now that they will be playing in the champions league next season.

I agree with you, what made Girona good last season was their solidity in playing as a unified team, so if they can keep it up, or even get the support of new good signings, they might have another good season. This will be Girona's first experience playing in the Champions League and I don't think they should have high expectations in that tournament because that will actually prevent them from playing with optimal performance.

[RockBell]

Both Girona and Bologna have qualified for the champions league and if they fail to qualify for the round of 16, they will be eliminited.
Take note that this season no team from the champions league will go to the europa league. There will be a new format for UEFA champions league and europa league.

I have more faith in Gordon’s than Bologna to even succeed in the Champions League competition at least girona had massive improvement last season, they were shoulder to shoulder with Madrid and even Barcelona no body expected them to improve that way and that is why it is very difficult to predict football because things you don’t expect will always happen. And the moment they did not qualify for the round 16 they should have figured it out that champions league is tougher than la Liga and effort you both in both leagues will be totally different, we know that players are paid to play ball but it is not actually easy competing in almost of the important leagues so if they are in champions league and they don’t qualify for Europa then to me it’s not a big deal champion league have more respect winning it than winning Europa.

I won’t expect much from them in the champions league, they’ll just go and register their attendance there and wait for elimination. They are going there to get experience as first timers, if they use that experience well, going back there for the second time won’t be a big problem to them and may not find it difficult to make it far in the competition. The competitive scene of the champions league is not the one which they can both withstand. It has never happened in history that a first timer make it to the finals of the champions league and won the trophy. They will have to try again and again to win that and I don’t think they’ll be close to winning it just now as first timers. Let them get the experience and come back again another time.

You all enjoy your big-name teams, I know. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, the usual suspects. The Champions League's true beauty, though, transcends mere who is projected to win. Its about who can write history and beat the odds.

Take Bologna; they disappeared decades ago but are back now. Back with a fire in their gut. Love that. I love watching a team win again. Furthermore Girona? Neither should you count them out. Though they came from a modest league, they achieved their position fairly and honestly. They are talented and have heart. You also know what? They may simply surprise us all. The magic of sports is that. Unpredictability. Thrilling.

Allow them underdogs to shine. Lets see what they produce. Since its not always about the biggest stars. Its about who is more driven to defend their historical place. And Im excited to see what these two teams can do. Remember, people, everything is possible. See the underdogs with faith.
