UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Roseline492]

These are interesting fixtures and as an English fan, I am more interested in the English teams.
It seems that it's Arsenal and Aston Villa that have difficult fixtures. While Arsenal is somewhat fair because they are meeting people of almost equal strength. Aston villa is rather disadvantaged because Bayern Munich is obviously bigger than them in both their local League and in Europe stage.

Manchester city and Liverpool seem to have got easy wins, especially Manchester city. Let's see it will play out.

Your prediction is good because the English clubs you predicted to have an easy matches yesterday won there match which is Manchester City and Arsenal, though in terms of Manchester City match they are lucky to have meet a smaller club than Arsenal because PSG is not a small team but fortunately for Arsenal even with the champions League experience PSG seems to have, Arsenal showed them that they are more then there look, so the only English team remaining to play is Aston Villa and Liverpool and they have less than two hours to start, I'm hopeful that Liverpool will win Bologna but for Aston Villa I doubt because they are playing with the mighty Bayern Munich.

PSG's game last night was quite good, but they were unlucky. Why? because the top statistics show that PSG are much better than Arsenal.
I think Arsenal's victory was also not because of 100% luck but because Arsenal's finishing was much better than PSG. In fact, in terms of luck, PSG were far from lucky because they could not take advantage of the opportunities that existed throughout the match. I watched the match alone via streaming that's why I said that.

How is PSG better than Arsenal in yesterday’s match?
I think the best statistics of judging a better team is based on the game’s outcome, and if it is true, then Arsenal is a better team yesterday because they get three points they needed in the game yesterday.

The final result of 3 points is the main target of every team that competes. The match statistics that I assess are based on a summary of the overall numbers starting from ball possession to other records such as passes.
The losing team is still considered below the winning team. PSG has a higher percentage of ball possession. PSG's unluckiness can be seen from the number of shots they got even though Arsenal was more than PSG in terms of on target.

It's takes a better side to keep a clean sheet so I see no reasons for anyone to have alleged that PSG were unlucky thereby making arsenal seem unworthy of a well deserved win after such a wonderful showdown in London. The fact that the visiting side couldn't find the back of the net is an evidence that Arsenal were not only aggressive upfront but their defence were also top notch and were able to contain the PSG attacking line up just as they were able to stop Manchester City a couple of weeks ago in the premiership.

Currently leading the standings in the Champions League is Borussia Dortmund.They have played two matches so far with two impressive wins, and they have scored 10 goals. They are at the top of the points table after a 7-1 win over Celtic, although Dortmund's attack was much stronger. I think the Champions League will be more likely to win the Champions League than the Bundesliga this season, especially with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen attacking the Champions League with a lot of excitement in every match.

I think your conclusion looks too early by saying Bundesliga league will produce this season champions league winner when they only had their second game of the season, there are many battles await them, what about brest that come second or you are doubting them. Borussia Dortmund really played very well to earn what they got, although Dortmund haven't play with a tough team since from the beginning, I will even question them if they did not make it through with those team, I will only appreciate their effort if the succeeded with big teams then I will consider them as among the favorite to win the Champions League this season.

From my observations about it points, I don't think it's fully saying that Dortmund will win the Champions League this season. What it's trying to say is that Dortmund may be more likely to win the Champions League, along with teams like Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, based on their current performances. If we honestly look at the performances of these three teams, they may have more chances to win this season’s Champions League. Speaking of current team performances, Dortmund's performance is very impressive, just like Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.So, it is not saying that Dortmund will win the Champions League, but that Dortmund's chances of winning are increasing as they have won their two matches. The truth is, even last season, nobody thought that Dortmund might reach the final of the Champions League.

Today's match prediction.

Great chance of winning for all favorite teams.

PSG just can't win a Champions League trophy in this way. They were really terrible against Arsenal.    It ended 2-0 maybe but the score difference could have been much more than that. Their defending was in bad shape and I can't say they were effective in the attacking area either. Why would you start with Lee Kang-in the centre-forward position?  

Dembele is left out of squad which is a big loss for PSG. If he can't get back in shortly then PSG can get quite weaker in the area. I'm not sure if Doue is ready for big challenges yet. What do you say, can he fill Dembele's place?

Dembele has already apologized to Enrique and settled the matter with the club's management. He will play in the next round of Ligue 1 (and apparently in the next round of the Champions League). I didn't go into the details of the conflict, but I can say that Enrique was consistent (he benched Messi for indiscipline), but Dembele's absence was very much felt. But there is no need to make a big problem out of this game - Arsenal is stronger than PSG on paper, so this is a normal result.

Games of the day

Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich and  Leipzig Juventus are for sure the 2 games of the day.

The first half of the Girona vs Feyenoord match ended with a quite surprising score, namely 1-2. With the advantage being on Feyenoord's side. And for the Shakhtar vs Atalanta match, the first half score was 0-2. And Atalanta deserved to be the favorite and took the lead in the first half. And it looks like in the second half other goals will be scored again. And it looks like a lot of goals will be scored in the second round.

In the ongoing match I hope Girona will win but it looks like they will not do it easily. because first Girona had to think about how to equalize the score in the second half.

The final result of 3 points is the main target of every team that competes. The match statistics that I assess are based on a summary of the overall numbers starting from ball possession to other records such as passes.
The losing team is still considered below the winning team. PSG has a higher percentage of ball possession. PSG's unluckiness can be seen from the number of shots they got even though Arsenal was more than PSG in terms of on target.

... At least in yesterday's match I was only surprised by PSG's defeat by Arsenal and also AC Milan's defeat by Leverkusen. Apart from these two matches, I feel that all the teams won very fairly. But Man City, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Dortmund in yesterday's match were truly unstoppable by their opponents. They all scored at least 4 goals and Dortmund had the most, namely 7 goals.

Unfortunately I didn't watch the Leverkusen vs AC Milan match which ended in Milan's defeat. It seemed like a very interesting match if I saw the final score of only 1-0 for Bayer Leverkusen's victory. If the statistics I see in the application, AC Milan is very enthusiastic to be able to bring home 1 point with their total shots throughout the match, but AC Milan's expected goal is too small compared to Leverkusen's.
The highest score for last night's match was only Dortmund against Celtic. If you think about it, it is not reasonable for a team like Celtic to accept such a big defeat considering they are at the top of the standings in the domestic league.

I disagree with you; even Paris Saint-Germain is also performing pretty well in their league this season, and they are even topping the League 1 table. If you watched the Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain game last night, you will know that Paris Saint-Germain performed better than Arsenal in that game.

The two clubs played well in the match, Paris Saint-Germain were just unlucky in the match, they dominated the match, but couldn’t score. Arsenal were able to score their two goals in the first half of the match, and PSG couldn’t get any goal in the match, but their performance wasn’t so bad, PSG had some chances in the match, just that they couldn’t convert any to goal. Seriously, before the match started, I never expected Arsenal to win the match, I was expecting a draw, but Arsenal were able to score two goals, and they went away with three points.

And for the Shakhtar vs Atalanta match, the first half score was 0-2. And Atalanta deserved to be the favorite and took the lead in the first half.

In the ongoing match I hope Girona will win but it looks like they will not do it easily. because first Girona had to think about how to equalize the score in the second half.

Atalanta is now leading Shakhtar Donetsk 3 goals to nil, the second half just begin and Atalanta as already gotten the first goal again, 3 minutes after the second half. I think it's obvious they will probably cruise pass Shakhtar Donetsk today.

Girona surprisingly is losing though I thought also they may get their first champions league today but there's still a chance especially from the fact that they're actually the one dominating the game in terms of ball possessions and shots, I hope they can turn the tides around against Feyenoord.

Arsenal's victory was a well-deserved victory. Because they played very effectively and didn't waste many of the opportunities they got. But if someone says PSG wasn't lucky enough in that match then I will also understand that. Because PSG's several shot attempts were always unlucky because several times they only hit the crossbar. But in terms of attack quality, I think Arsenal is much better. They were so calm when they penetrated the PSG defense. And besides that, PSG's defense doesn't seem to be as good as Arsenal's. So Arsenal's victory was indeed deserved in this match. And I think Arsenal will continue to go further this time.

There is an insane level of drop in Girona's performance this year.    They couldn't win in a five games in a row and currently they are going for the sixth one.    Feyenoord still lead by 2-1 and they even missed a penalty later on.

On the other hand, Atalanta must be playing one of their most comfortable games. They are 3-0 ahead against Shakhtar away and the home side was able to do literally nothing so far. Just like they were in the Bologna game in which they got very lucky too.

Anyone expecting Aston Villa to give Bayern Munich an upset tonight?    I mean even a draw counts. Emery is always full of surprises and his team aren't weak. Do you remember the way he eliminated them here while managing Villarreal?

I was expecting such a decline last season because they had consecutive wins, Girona club is probably in this situation right now because of the feeling of satisfaction of the players who remained in the team.
We saw the same situation in Napoli. Atalanta finished the match with consecutive goals, there are still 30 minutes left, maybe they can even score an extra goal.

Girona's performance actually decreased slightly, especially in finishing their attacks. And I understand this will happen at Girona this season. Because we know that Girona has released one of its best players in attack who even scored many goals for Girona last season. And he was the top scorer in Laliga last season but Girona let him go. And yes the results are like now. Girona experienced a drastic decline.  They played well but not as well as last season. Their score is still the same so far, namely 1-2. But it looks like Girona will be able to equalize the score with their current quality.

Atalanta does seem to be playing comfortably with a score of 0-3 and I think Atalanta can almost be said to have secured 3 points for this match. Because Shakhtar has not been able to match Atalanta's performance so far.

For the Aston Villa vs Bayern match, I think Bayern will win even with a score of more than 2 goals. I see Bayern this season being much better. We remember that in the first match Bayern scored 9 goals against Dinamo Zagreb. And I think that in the match against Aston Villa, Bayern can score a lot of goals again, although it won't be as many as in the previous match in the UCL.

[bering]

Liverpool will fight against Bologna at Anfield now and people at here have already know that Liverpool in the positive trend because they can gets 4 winning streak in all competitions and these results too makes Liverpool can occupy first place on League table of Premier league and for Bologna this season they have to hard struggle this season but basically Bologna latest performance is not really bad because they still unbeated in the last 5 matches in all competitions but we can't says those records is impressive because Bologna only able to get 1 win and 4 draw and here is the lineup for both teams below

Liverpool: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Robertson, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold

Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler; Orsolini, Moro, Urbanski, Ndoye; Dallinga

Both teams were never met before so this is their first met in this competition and i think we shouldn't be analysis more about this match because certainly Liverpool will being an the favourite even the bookies only provide low odds for them @1.17 but there is potention Liverpool will win with 2 goals margin or more so that's why instead of Liverpool win i think over 2.5 goals also good pick

[bitgolden]

PSG looked terrible, worse than they usually do, this game wasn't really a point on how they look because normally they aren't this bad. For some reason or another, they ended up being worse and I have no idea why, which happens at times and there is nothing wrong with this, we just need to make sure we are not dealing with anything crazy at the moment and need to do better.

I understand that we are going to see this type of results eventually, but at the end of the day we are not going to see PSG be this bad again, not frequently at least, the result is an uncommon one because PSG normally plays better. Maybe this was caused by Arsenal playing amazingly, which isn't a surprise to anyone since Arsenal is doing great and they have been great for a while, I believe they did alright.

As long as we have what it takes for Arsenal to win, they can win against any big team, they are the one fighting against City after all, so battling it out with PSG wasn't a new thing for them, they are used to battling it out with big clubs. All in all, this game shouldn't mean Arsenal is great, and shouldn't mean PSG is terrible, they are both good clubs who are just under the greats, and could do serious damage long term.

Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich and  Leipzig Juventus are for sure the 2 games of the day.

Quite some interesting games today as well, but I still think that yesterday's fixtures were more exciting. I just checked not too long, and I saw that some games started very early. Currently, Feyenoord is leading Girona by 2goals to 1, while Atlanta is leading 3nil. Though I don't have plans to watch any of these two games, but I feel I should talk about Girona. They've be very poor this season, and I'm not even sure if the owner or management is doing anything about it. The last time I checked for their position on the league table, it wasn't looking good for Girona at all. I think they even lost to PSG in their first UCL game, which I actually predicted a draw. To be honest, they've been very poor so far.

And as for my main game tonight, I will be watching the game at villa's park (Villa Vs Bayern). I am already getting excited, because I know that's it's going to be a very interesting fixture for today (if not the best fixture). Though Bayern Munich have a better UCl experience, but we can't just write Villa off easily. I won't be making any predictions. I just want to enjoy the game. Good luck to all teams.

Edit: while writing the post, Girona scored an equalizer, but we still have about 10 mins left.

[Uruhara]

I was expecting such a decline last season because they had consecutive wins, Girona club is probably in this situation right now because of the feeling of satisfaction of the players who remained in the team.
We saw the same situation in Napoli. Atalanta finished the match with consecutive goals, there are still 30 minutes left, maybe they can even score an extra goal. 

Girona's performance which has dropped drastically this season is not that surprising. because teams that suddenly become strong in one season are sometimes not always able to maintain their strength in the following season. And this happened to Girona. And Girona in Laliga is currently also getting results that are not so good. Which makes them currently in 12th place. And I think Girona seems to be returning to their performance like when they were first promoted to Laliga.

but initially I thought Girona would focus more on the UCL and achieve good results. However, it seems that this is difficult to achieve. But I still hope that Girona can show good results in the UCL. Because I really like Girona's playing style so far. And now Girona has managed to equalize the score to 2-2. And well now it's only a matter of time until Girona scores another goal and puts the lead on their side.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In today's match of Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta team in UEFA Champions League, Atalanta team is leading by 3 goals so far. Shakhtar Donetsk team has not scored any goal yet. Shakhtar Donetsk team is trying hard to score. Let's see what goals Shakhtar Donetsk team can score in today's match.  Or. Atalanta team player B. Djimsiti scored the 1st goal in 21 minutes. A.  Lookman scored the 2nd goal in the 44th minute and R. Bellanova scored the 3rd goal in the 48th minute.

[Chilwell]

Lille vs Real Madrid

Lille (confirmed lineup): Lucas Chevalier, Bafode Diakite, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Tiago Santos, Mitchel Bakker, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin Andre, Remy Cabella, Edon Zhegrova, Jonathan David.

Real Madrid (confirmed lineup): Andriy Lunin, Daniel Carvajal, Antonio Ruediger, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Endrick, Vinicius Junior.

This both teams haven't play in any competition so it will be very hard to predict despite real Madrid are far stronger than Lille but we should know that all this small club can be underrated because they are full of surprises, let see what they have to offer at Stade Pierre Mauroy.

Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich
Aston Villa (confirmed lineup): Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Morgan Rogers, Jacob Ramsey, Ollie Watkins.

Bayern Munich (confirmed lineup): Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Min-Jae Kim, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, Harry Kane.

Aston Villa and Bayern Munich meeting again after meeting for the long time and Aston Villa won the match, since then they haven't meet again till now that Bayern Munich are one of the strongest team in the world, Aston Villa have to play header to win again if possible, Bayern Munich are incharge now which means they destroy any teams that comes their way.

Girona surprisingly is losing though I thought also they may get their first champions league today but there's still a chance especially from the fact that they're actually the one dominating the game in terms of ball possessions and shots, I hope they can turn the tides around against Feyenoord.

Atalanta performed quite well even after successfully holding Arsenal's draw before now they are able to win with Shakhtar Donetsk as an away match.
I saw several times the attack from Shakhtar Donetsk was not so profitable because it could not become a goal, while the attack from Atalanta was so easy to become a goal, I think Shakhtar Donetsk's defense was quite weak.

I didn't watch Girona's game but some of Peyenoord's goals were Girona's own goals? That's how weak Girona are at the moment, are they unlucky? It looks like a close match.
