UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[letteredhub]

Arsenal game is another game to be looking at in the second half, the home team Atalanta did very well in the first half, they dominated the game completely, but Arsenal’s solid defense helped them maintain the pressure which I think of care is not taken will fail in the second half because Atalanta team in general is doing everything to win the match.

I am disgusted by this match. Both teams played defensively in the first half. I didn't see any tendency to score in the first half from the players of the home team Atalanta. Atalanta's players managed to make only 2 shots in the first half. On the other hand, although the Arsenal players made a few attacks, Arsenal could not break Atalanta's defense in the first half. Arsenal will definitely need to step up their attack in the second half if they are to take full points from this match.

It's easier to see down when you're in flight. The game is ain't disgusting in any way in fact it's one of the interesting game with so much suspense so far from both sides performance. They are a two strong teams and both team coach are very careful with the game to not avoid any errors. Even as that the aides have not been shy in trying to create goal chances only that they both haven't been able to convert their chances to goal's.

Coach Arteta must change the match strategy in the second half. And of course the speed of the attack should be increased. Arsenal team is lucky enough in this match. Monaco failed to score from a penalty chance in the 51st minute. If Monaco can somehow score the first goal of this match, then it will be more difficult for Arsenal players to break Monaco's defense.

What tactics or strategy order than this should Arteta use for a coach whose key player in the midfield Odegaard is not in the game. Arsenal looking very in my opinion in terms of their defensive performance despite many times Atlanta has taken the ball more to them. I don't think there's going to be a goal in this game tonight, it's a barren draw for me

When I saw Barcelona against Monaco I thought it is going to be a brush through for Barcelona but the game is not even going well for Barcelona, and for Monaco to even score Barcelona first shows that they are not backing down for them, and now that Barcelona is one man down is going to affect their performance throughout this game, no matter how strong your club is the moment you are down by one man you will find it hard to stabilize your performance, no matter the strategy that flick is going to be using it will not turn out well except if they will be playing a defense game and if their I to much concentration of the defense then the pressure will also increase let's see what Barcelona is up to when they come back for the second half, if they will be able to manage till the end of the game.

The second half is now going and the Barcelona are still strong in the hand of the Monaco, because nobody expect that this match will be very tough in that way, due to how the Barcelona start this season with strong performances but they where unable to build that seme performance against Monaco, and the way this second half is still move on I don’t think Barcelona can dominate this match anymore.

This red card is going to affect their formation no how they want to do it, as far as Eric is out they might replan to see if they can balance things up I don't know why I have so much doubt that Barcelona will get away with this one the conditions at which they are have changed the out come of the came, the number of shots coming from Monaco is more than that of Barcelona and that is what they will focus on now and don't be surprised that they will score a second goal.

This red card have already affected Barcelona right from the first half, it has scattered all their plans that will lead them to take the victory over the Monaco; honestly if care is not taken Monaco will going to add another goal with the way there given Barcelona tough attacking or they can hold the game to end up in draw.

[Uruhara]

Atlanta vs Arsenal match has apparently turned to be more like that of Manchester City and inter Milan game yesterday, the both teams are performing very well but finding it very difficult to shake the net, am very curious which team is going home victorious or is it going to just end a goaless draw just like that of Manchester City and inter Milan yesterday game. But however, I wasn't expecting less performance form both teams on today's match considering the fact that they are also doing very well even at their local leagues. It is already second half of the game and it is still at goaless draw, am waiting patiently for the full time result.

I really hope Arsenal can win this match. Because I really like them for this match. I hope Arteta doesn't disappoint everyone who bet on Arsenal. And actually, after several seasons Arsenal always failed to go far in the UCL, I hope that this season Arsenal can go further to the final. Because I think a great coach like Arteta must have experience in more tense matches like the UCL Final.

The second half has entered the 75th minute and the score has not changed, namely still 0-0. but I'm sure there will be a winner in this fight. And maybe Arsenal will be able to win with a narrow score of 0-1.

[promise444c5]

So far  today's game has been a tough one, Arsenal struggling with their opponent and missing penalty , Brest battling it opponent though they are are winning , Barcelona one man down right from the beginning of the game, the game is still on a tie one but I think Barcelona will still win even with their 10 players. Athletico on the other hand seem to also be struggling with their opponent quite an interesting one, only Leverkusen got it easy today with a 4 to nil win even before the second half , what a night for  Barcelona , 10 players throughthe whole match...Yamal is a talent afterall but its still gonna be a tough night for them

[Amphenomenon]

Barcelona's game will not be optimal if they lack 1 player, maybe they will be a little depressed by Monaco because they take advantage of the situation where Barcelona is lacking in attack and defense.
As far as possible, it must balance the game, otherwise Barcelona will be left behind in the second half.

But there is still a chance for Barcelona to win, they have some great players in them although a little lacking because of the red card.
Flick will probably make a defensive strategy again in the second half and they may rely on counterattacks.

Yes the red card will definitely affect them but I still expect them to be victorious or at least get a draw from the fact that  Monaco is a smaller team and as a big team, one thing is common a strong mentality which do help against such scenarios in order to come out the Victor here.

Things like this are what often separate classes of players are they deal with difficult situations, if Barcelona can still come out victorious it shows are well they're coming back to their glorious days

Barcelona's gameplay at the moment seems very promiscuous. Players need to be more confident. Otherwise, Barcelona will concede a goal in the first half.

Your guess is correct. In the 10th minute, Eric Garcia received a red card and went off the field. And in the 16th minute, Barcelona conceded a goal. Monaco upped the ante after Garcia received a red card. Monaco's players are playing well now. Monaco's players seem very confident. And it became more difficult for the Barcelona players to make a comeback in this match. However, Akliouche scored a fantastic goal.
I don't understand why the referee gave red card to Eric Garcia. The referee could have given a yellow card here. In such an important match the referee needed to be more careful in decision making. However, looking at Barcelona's gameplay now, I think Monaco will either win this match or the match will be a draw. Barcelona's gameplay has become quite slow.

Ter Stegen made a blunder that was very detrimental to his team. Eric Garcia had to get a red card due to that clumsy pass. Monaco could indeed fail to convert the free kick into a goal but as a result of playing with 10 men making Barcelona's defense is more vulnerable, and Monaco can make good use of it to get goals in other ways. I'm not quite sure Barcelona can turn things around, moreover, their young players seem not quite at ease with their current condition. It seems like the red card incident was quite shaken to their mentality.

You are right. The mistake was essentially Ter Stegen's. And I saw several such passes from Ter Stegen in this match. Stegen should be more careful in such important matches. If Ter Stegen had been a little more careful, Garcia might not have seen the red card.

In the second half we saw a lot of attacking from both teams. However, Barcelona players could not score any goals. However, in the 71st minute, Monaco's striker George scored the second goal for Monaco from a wonderful pass by Venderson. The Monaco team is leading 2-1 at the moment. I don't think Barcelona have any chance of winning this match. Either Barcelona will lose the match or the match will be a draw.

[Frankolala]

With Monaco in front and one man down for Barcelona, I think it will not be easy for Barcelona on the night.

Well it won't be easy at all for Barcelona. And it seems like the two teams from Laliga today weren't lucky enough. Because currently Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both 1 goal behind their opponents in the first half.

But I am grateful that as I write this Barcelona has managed to equalize the score at 1-1. Thanks to a goal from talented young player Lamine Yamal. I don't think Barcelona will give up on their unfortunate situation of having to play with only 10 players after Eric Garcia was sent off.

Barcelona's game will not be optimal if they lack 1 player, maybe they will be a little depressed by Monaco because they take advantage of the situation where Barcelona is lacking in attack and defense.
As far as possible, it must balance the game, otherwise Barcelona will be left behind in the second half.

But there is still a chance for Barcelona to win, they have some great players in them although a little lacking because of the red card.
Flick will probably make a defensive strategy again in the second half and they may rely on counterattacks.

hope that Barcelona will not allow the red card given to them affect their mentality because it will reflect in their performance. However, I see that they are able to contain it because it was after the red card that they could still equalize the goal.

They should be more careful in the second half and find a way in which they can use to win the match and not allow Monaco to defeat them if not it will be a bad start for them this season.

We expected Arsenal to dominate the match and win. Because the opponent Atalanta team is not in a good rhythm this season. Atalanta have won 2 matches and lost 2 matches out of 4 matches in Serie A. Although Atalanta won the last match against Fiorentina, their performance was not that good. So we expected Arsenal to win this match.

But we don't see good performance from Arsenal players. At the end of 80 minutes, Arsenal players managed to make only 6 shots in total. Arsenal players definitely need to perform better in Champions League matches. Since every team here is strong, it is difficult to do well in the Champions League if they perform so slowly.

Despite Barcelona equalizing the match making it a 1-1 draw with one man out I don't think they can be able to win this game because the red card is really showing on them as AS Monaco keeps one puting more pressure on them I think the only thing Barcelona could do In this match is to try and play more of defense so that they could get a draw in this match if they choose to come and play with Monaco it is really going to be bad on them because with the advantage AS Monaco has now they will try everything possible to make sure they are victorious in this game and also with the advantage of them been at home , Barcelona will be excited if they could get a draw in this match.

[Jatiluhung]

This red card have already affected Barcelona right from the first half, it has scattered all their plans that will lead them to take the victory over the Monaco; honestly if care is not taken Monaco will going to add another goal with the way there given Barcelona tough attacking or they can hold the game to end up in draw.

I hope the Barcelona players can be more careful and not be emotionally provoked into making more mistakes that could be detrimental to them and the team. Because I see the Barcelona players starting to be provoked now. Losing one player is hard enough and I hope no one else leaves the field.

Currently Barcelona is behind with a score of 2-1. And Barcelona must continue to concentrate on not conceding any more and make counterattacks as much as possible to equalize. Because if Monaco scores one more time then it will be over for Barcelona. Currently the match has entered the 80th minute. And there is still time left for Barcelona to equalize the score.

[Spaceman1000$]

Though its half time already, but I will really love send a big shout-out to Bayer Leverkusen for coming up with such an impressive performance today, winning Feyenoord with a whooping 4 goals to Nill within it's first 45 minutes into the game through the help of F. Wirtz, Grimaldo and Wellenreuther,, as with this performance, it's a clear sign this game is likely to end with more goals before the end of 90 minutes just like the match between Manchester United and Barnsle, which ended with 7 goals to Nill, as I look forward to more goals as second half begins.

Leverkusen's performance in their first Champions League game was impressive, with a 4-0 victory thanks to Xabi Alonso. They should continue to win games like this to achieve their goals. While some may predict a draw or a 1-0 win, Leverkusen's four zeros in the first half have given them confidence.

Let see what arsenal will perform tonight against Atalanta because this is the touch game that will play today,
 

It's 63 minutes already into the game against Arsenal vs Atalanta, yet both team still playing goal-less, which seems to be a very tough match for Arsenal today, as Atalanta is seen to have a better stand in today's game, likewise having the most ball possession, defensive play and more attack, if could have given them a goal if not that Retegui just lost the penalty kick opportunity they had at 51 minutes into the game. So judging from the recent performance, it's obvious this game is likely to end draw.

Atalanta are actually using their home advantage judiciously, just that they haven't been able to score, Atalanta are playing massive defence and massive attack, which to a large extent have destabilize the playing pattern of Arsenal. Yeah the game is actually drifting towards a tie but might be upturned in favor of Atalanta between now and till final whistle.
Arsenal has shown that they have a soft spot when it comes to the champions League unlike the Premier league where they show a lot strength, but they've been very impressive with their defence as they've been able to keep Ademola lookman and Juan Cuadrado at bay.

This red card is going to affect their formation no how they want to do it, as far as Eric is out they might replan to see if they can balance things up I don't know why I have so much doubt that Barcelona will get away with this one the conditions at which they are have changed the out come of the came, the number of shots coming from Monaco is more than that of Barcelona and that is what they will focus on now and don't be surprised that they will score a second goal.

There were 10 minutes left on the clock and Barcelona still couldn't get back into the game as their numerical disadvantage continued to hamper them and it was clear Monaco would have to wait and waste this crucial time to inflict Barcelona's first defeat of the season in international competition after being unbeaten in 5 domestic matches.

Honestly, it's a loss if Barcelona end up dropping points in the first match but having to play with 10 men is also a bit troublesome especially since Monaco's attacking intensity is still very good.
It looks like the revenge mission from Monaco in the pre-match must be eliminated by Barcelona at this time because with the conditions that occur, I think we can see that most likely Barcelona lost the first match if we see how the game is currently Barcelona only does a defensive scheme so that the goal deficit is not getting bigger.

Atlanta vs Arsenal match has apparently turned to be more like that of Manchester City and inter Milan game yesterday, the both teams are performing very well but finding it very difficult to shake the net, am very curious which team is going home victorious or is it going to just end a goaless draw just like that of Manchester City and inter Milan yesterday game.

Arsenal is unable to find the back of the net in their first match till this moment and they are playing with a team that is trying to pick form whereas, Arsenal is in form. This is surprising that Atalanta is threatening Arsenal and depriving them from scoring. I feel bad that English teams are finding ir difficult to win Italian clubs even when we feel that these English clubs are more stronger than the Italian clubs or are we wrong on that.

This match was truly a massacre. Leverkusen found their goal so quickly, and what destroyed Feyenoord was the second goal scored by Grimaldo in the 30th minute. After that second goal, Feyenoord lost their composure and confidence. It looks like it will be quite difficult for Feyenoord to get back to the level, unless they can immediately step on the gas and score a quick goal as soon as the second half starts. Even if there is no improvement (especially their defensive line coordination), I think Leverkusen will get their fifth goal.

Leverkusen has had a very good start to the Champions League. They proved that the Leverkusen team is very strong this season with the help of Xabi Alonso. The Leverkusen team took a big lead of 4-0 in the first half of the match. They could have scored more goals in the second half if Leverkusen's players had been attacking in the second half as well. But Leverkusen played very cautiously in the second half. Since victory in the match is certain for them, Xabi Alonso did not want to take any risk in this match. This is why we saw very little attack from Leverkusen's players in the second half.

Barcelona are likely to lose their Champions League opener against Monaco. At the end of 80 minutes, Barcelona trailed 2-1. We had high expectations from Barcelona today. Because this team has won 5 matches of La League. Barcelona's players could have played better in today's match if the referee had not given Garcia a red card just 10 minutes into the match. It is not easy to perform well with 10 players.

[Asiska02]

Although I expected a good win margin but not up to nine goals. In my stake I placed my bet on over 3.5 goals to be scored in the match but Bayern Munich exceeded my expectations and thrashed Dinamo Zagreb nine goals to two…..a scoreline similar to 8:2 trashing of Barcelona in the champions league some years back. Vincent Kompany is doing a good job with the current players in his possession especially Musiala and Oliseh who are in superb form this season.

Bayern Munich was way much better than Dinamo Zagreb in this match and that victory was a well deserving one for them. They’ve been playing great under the leadership of Vincent Kompany and this shows that he’s a good coach that can be dependent on to lead Bayern Munich to victory in the champions league as well as the domestic leagues in which they’re also a major contender for the league title. I don’t have anything to say against Dinamo Zagreb, they were not a team that can stand Bayern Munich, so they lost the game with a very wide goal margin which is what Bayern Munich are used to when coming to trash big teams.

Barcelona had 10 men left in the 10th minute of the match, with the first half ending 1-1. Eric Garcia received a red card. Monaco made the score 1-0 6 minutes after this goal. Barcelona made the score 1-1 with Yamal in the 28th minute.
Barcelona is constantly using offside tactics due to the negative situation of remaining with 10 men. Monaco scored in one of these offside tactics, but the goal was canceled because the position was offside.
If Monaco players find a solution to this tactic, they will easily score a goal or goals. Barça has difficulty moving the ball forward because it has 10 men.

Barcelona down to 10 men does not still cause them to not be dominating in this game. It was such a pity to have one man sent out from the early minutes of the game. I expected Barcelona to be able to handle the pressure and make it to the end of the game to either finish with a draw or a win against Monaco. Monaco are not a weak team though, but I feel Barcelona can still dominate and win the match. But one more goal scored from Monaco and taking the lead again, I’m beginning to doubt if Barcelona can win this match.

[adultcrypto]

It is looking like Barcelona is out of the champions league this early because Monaco has just pulled a fast one on them. If this penalty is awarded, that will keep the match at three goals to one which will put Barcelona in a very bad position. Ops, the penalty have just been cancelled which is a huge relief for Barcelona. With one goal difference, they will still be able to salvage that when they host Monaco. I am truly impressed with the performance of Monaco and at the same time, Barcelona really played with a dampened spirit tonight, maybe due to the early red card given to Eric Garcia.

[coinlocket$]

Few minutes left in the games so far we only have 1 unexpected result.
Barcelona is losing by 2-1 vs Monaco and they also have a red card.

Solid game from Atalanta too versus Arsenal.
Only 1-1 for Atletico vs Leipzig, can they score another goal in their home in the final 5 minutes?

[Uruhara]

I hope the Barcelona players can be more careful and not be emotionally provoked into making more mistakes that could be detrimental to them and the team. Because I see the Barcelona players starting to be provoked now. Losing one player is hard enough and I hope no one else leaves the field.

Currently Barcelona is behind with a score of 2-1. And Barcelona must continue to concentrate on not conceding any more and make counterattacks as much as possible to equalize. Because if Monaco scores one more time then it will be over for Barcelona. Currently the match has entered the 80th minute. And there is still time left for Barcelona to equalize the score.

The Barcelona and Monaco match is really starting to heat up. because as you said, it seems like the Barcelona players are starting to get provoked in this match. I think some offenses aren't even necessary. And the referee always seems to be too quick to issue yellow cards in this match. I hope Barcelona can remain calm. Don't let them lose and also lose some players due to accumulated red cards.

Currently, all the matches are almost entering the final minutes of the match and it seems that only the Brest vs Sturm match and the Monaco vs Barcelona match will end in victory for one of the teams. Because the Atalanta vs Arsenal match and the Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig match, the score has not changed at this time, namely it is still a draw.

[Huppercase]

So far  today's game has been a tough one, Arsenal struggling with their opponent and missing penalty , Brest battling it opponent though they are are winning , Barcelona one man down right from the beginning of the game, the game is still on a tie one but I think Barcelona will still win even with their 10 players. Athletico on the other hand seem to also be struggling with their opponent quite an interesting one, only Leverkusen got it easy today with a 4 to nil win even before the second half , what a night for  Barcelona , 10 players throughthe whole match...Yamal is a talent afterall but its still gonna be a tough night for them

Monaco gave Barcelona early lesson this season, I expected Monaco to fight back again as they are at home and considering this is their home for the match and this will allow the internet football to cool down for while because ever since Barcelona has start this season, they haven't allow us to breath even small but now that they have lost this one, even Real Madrid fans will be able to return the same banter they have seen in Laliga.

I don't know what's wrong with Arsenal but I'm glad I didn't bet today because what Manchester City did to me yesterday I never expected and I wasn't sure about today and my instinct was right about my decision. As for the trophy, I'm use to Arsenal and there disappointment. If they like they should improve and if they like they should play what they like but I will continue to be a fan.

[Smack That Ace]

Barcelona are likely to lose their Champions League opener against Monaco. At the end of 80 minutes, Barcelona trailed 2-1. We had high expectations from Barcelona today. Because this team has won 5 matches of La League. Barcelona's players could have played better in today's match if the referee had not given Garcia a red card just 10 minutes into the match. It is not easy to perform well with 10 players.

Are referees biased? Or is he not experienced enough? I don't know exactly. But almost every decision taken by the referee in today's match goes against Barcelona. He gave a direct red card to Garcia. It would probably have been awarded a yellow card. He also gave yellow cards to Casado and Balde in the 88th minute. I don't understand the meaning of this either. He awarded the penalty decision. But he canceled the penalty decision due to var. However, I am not happy with the referee's behavior today. This is just my personal opinion.

Barcelona lost the match. But the boys of Barcelona tried their best. But we have to admit that Monaco's players also performed well in this match. In particular I would say Monaco's young midfielder Akliouche scored a great goal. If Akliouche can continue this form of performance, the Monaco club will earn a lot of money by selling Akliouche next season.
