UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

You are right Liverpool did not play well in the last game and they were lucky to win by small margin. Their coach Arne Slot will definitely work on making them play better, and they can not make  same mistakes again in next game. Next time PSG may be take advantage of every scoring chance they get so Liverpool will need to defend better to stop them from scoring. It is very important for Liverpool to win next game because being ahead by only one goal is not safe and can easily change. They both definitely feel a lot of pressure and it is going to be very exciting game.

It actually did not play very well, but the important thing is that the coach understood the problem and manages to put a piece for the next game.
I don't feel like criticizing the coach, practically lives one game at a time and organizes the next game.

As a philosophy it does not seem perfect to me but if it works. is ok

[RockBell]

Liverpool are in a good position going into the return leg, they have a goal advantage and the return leg will be at Anfield, and at home they have lost one match against Nottingham, the rest of the matches were unbeaten. The way Liverpool played the match against PSG was unexpected, I did not think that Slot would decide to sit in defense, but for them it worked and they were even able to win. Now for PSG things are not going well, they will not be able to win at home, it will be even more difficult to do it away.

And you never can tell in a situation like this because if you even look at it, even the first leg, it was just a narrow escape. They can win them, and since I am not a Liverpool fan, I don't want to even concern myself with their issue, but Nottingham is not even a match. But these games are just very unpredictable because you would not have even expected it because mysteries are always, and who would have been believed that nothingham forest will even top Manchester city, so this more reason you just enjoy the game and even when they play next we never know what might happen.

Surely Arne Slot will evaluate yesterday's game because it looked bad, right? But in the end, the solution to this problem can be done from Salah being replaced and it really happened where Liverpool could bring victory due to Arne Slot's tactics.

The next match may be different again, where they will play at home, the mentality will be greater, there is also behind that, Arne Slot can organize as a good strategy.

PSG's next challenge in the Champions League this season is when PSG plays at Liverpool's home in the second leg because Liverpool will definitely play much better than the first leg and Liverpool also does not want to be embarrassed by PSG in front of their own supporters. Especially if the match is a match that is quite crucial and important for both teams so that the intensity will be much greater than what we have seen in the first leg. But personally I still believe that Liverpool is a team that will be able to qualify for the next round because Liverpool's defense and attack are truly extraordinary this season.

Now for PSG things are not going well, they will not be able to win at home, it will be even more difficult to do it away.

Yes and they will be extremely focused because in the Premier League, it is a long season and they know that mistakes are bad, but they can be made up for. In the Champions League they will put on another 100% on top of their already 100% focus and if a team is then one goal behind like PSG, I think Liverpool is one of the best teams in countering in dangerous situations right now.

I am curious whether PSG will try to go with pressure or whether they will give it time if they can and hope for a goal at some important moment in the game and then try to move on with that.

I think if PSG tries to press a lot, they will run into a counter attack. With these circumstances that is almost a guarantee that they have to live with. Liverpool will have chances and PSG won't get away with scoring a single goal in that game.

Honestly the return leg is going to be a different ball game , a lone goal deficit can be overturned by PSG so I expect Liverpool to come and attack rather than to sit back and defend, of course it's going to be an open game because PSG would come out to attack too, having narrowly and unluckily lost to Liverpool in a match they dominated and took most of the possessions, though Liverpool would enjoy a massive home support at Anfield, however UCL match is different from premier league so they should expect another tough battle with PSG.

Liverpool has a 1 goal advantage but considering PSG impressive performance, Liverpool must ensure Alisson is in top condition to ward off any threats. Reflecting on Leg 1 of course we will be surprised by the total opportunities that PSG got, and Liverpool with its defensive style must clearly be more aware of PSG ambitions in Leg 2. Although playing at Anfield, it is not a guarantee that PSG cannot put pressure on so the defense must be thickened by Arne Slot to anticipate it.

[tygeade]

PSV's coach strategy was wrong in handling Arsenal's playing pattern so that Arteta's team easily beat PSV and I think Arsenal understand the conditions that need to be maximized well and they proved it. Chelsea are not worth discussing here because they are not in the championship that is considered necessary to analyze because they play in a different caste.

Real Madrid have always been the best and if you want to see them fail then don't let them advance to the quarter-finals. Because the conditions will be different when Real Madrid go further and it will be much harder to stop, believe it or not that is a fact that has happened in the last few seasons.

When you are the smaller team, or worse team, or basically poorer team in this case, then you can't really play an offensive football where you pressure the other team full court. That would cause other teams players to just pass from stuck place to open space and they will get a good goal chance.

We have plenty of games where neither team had 7 on goal shots, and this is basically the most common result, we do not see 7+ shots that hit the market, let alone be a goal at all. So the fact that Arsenal managed to score 7 goals, not just shoot, but actually score 7 times, means PSV just let their defense be destroyed. PSV needed to play much more defensive, park the bus style of football in order to get the win or at least a tie, hell even just less goals conceded.

[ginsan]

For the second leg later, I am sure that PSG will beat Liverpool to the punch because from the first leg, PSG dominated the match but from the many shots they could not score a goal, even though they had to go through the match at Liverpool's home ground, for a club like PSG, it did not affect them at all, let's just wait for the next match, I am sure it will be very exciting.

Although PSG played a very interesting game in the first leg but I think they will have a hard time when they play at Anfield. So far Liverpool's performance has been very difficult to predict because they did not play well in the first leg but they managed to lock the match with a win. Well, especially Liverpool playing at Anfield, of course they will not waste the opportunity to play aggressively and score goals quickly.

Liverpool has many great players such as goalkeepers where Alisson managed to show his best quality in holding back many shots made by PSG players so that he will be the last wall that is difficult for PSG to penetrate in breaking into Liverpool's goal. With the strong strength possessed by PSG, the second leg could end with a narrow score or it could end in a draw, but what is clear is that Liverpool has a great chance to advance to the next round.

This is not a basic rule that you are bringing up here. It is very dependent on what kind of players the team is composed of. The Bundesliga has been a great example for smaller teams playing offensive football despite being at a lower budget and less resources in general.

If you are saying that nobody can expect a smaller team to squeeze one of the biggest teams as if it was normal, I think you are right. But smaller teams often have nothing to lose, which can be an advantage. See how Manchester City is doing and for them the confidence is decreasing with every game they lose or tie.

[stompix]

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are already confirmed to be in the quarter-finals,

Who confirmed that?
If you're so sure of that, why not make a play with the asian handicap just below the qualifying score for all of them?
It will be low odds, most in the .10 ut still since you're that confident it means an easy 50% earning in two hours, and if it's set in stone, why is not everyone taking it?

[Lillominato89]

A curious figure emerged from this first round of the Champions League round of 16.

Brugge Club - Aston Villa 1-3

PSV - Arsenal 1-7

Feyenoord - Inter 0-2

The teams that eliminated the three Italians (Atalanta, Milan and Juventus) have all lost the first round of the round of 16 at home.

From here I understand that the Italian championship suffers very much and the teams are not well equipped to hold three competitions simultaneously

[Issa56]

PSG's next challenge in the Champions League this season is when PSG plays at Liverpool's home in the second leg because Liverpool will definitely play much better than the first leg and Liverpool also does not want to be embarrassed by PSG in front of their own supporters.

The second leg of the match is going to be a interesting one, am not really sure yet that Liverpool will be winning the second leg of the match, because PSG gave them difficult time in the first leg, they mounted pressure on Liverpool in the match just that they were not lucky in the match, they couldn’t score in the match, Liverpool were just so lucky to get a win in the match.

From the way the two clubs played on the first leg, I won’t really conclude that Liverpool will be getting a win in the second leg of the match, PSG will do everything possible to win, but I know Liverpool won’t allow that, and Liverpool are playing at home so it’s going to be an advantage for them, let’s just see how it’s goes.

[Egii Nna]

I can't imagine how emotional I would be if I were a PSG fan.    They had a really unlucky day. Nearly 30 shots, so many shots on goal but 0 goal...

Man, Alisson was really on a different level. This must be his best performance since the beginning of the season. Liverpool didn't play even a bit. But they still managed to win. I was really surprised when Elliott scored right away after being subbed in. Salah was really ineffective but I don't want to blame only him. The team looked poor. But at the end of the day, they were the ones bringing the advantage home. Nothing changed for PSG. They are still a loser in the CL. Maybe one day they would also win a trophy but not today.

I wouldn't say that PSG were totally unlucky, rather I would even praise Liverpool’s defensive line for constantly subduing the attacking threat of the PSG attack. Despite being the top team in the ig domestic league, PSG continues to fall short on the European stage. Their inability to win the Champions League raises questions about how good they really are when paired against teams from other leagues.

Its still wierd that PSG with 30 shots didnt score a single goal and Liverpool just scored one goal from one shot. Didnt expect that Liverpool would defend so much. I think in the second leg we will see a completely different match then we seen in the first leg.

For the second leg later, I am sure that PSG will beat Liverpool to the punch because from the first leg, PSG dominated the match but from the many shots they could not score a goal, even though they had to go through the match at Liverpool's home ground, for a club like PSG, it did not affect them at all, let's just wait for the next match, I am sure it will be very exciting.

What I think you should know is that even though PSG played a very astonishing performance in their home game and were not able to score a single goal, then it should be obvious to you that they will hardly win or even score in the away game. Mind you, PSG didn’t put as much effort as Liverpool in this season's Champions League, so what will make you have that hope that PSG will be able to knock out Liverpool in the season? This is something that is easy to predict. I know PSG is trying their best, but beating Liverpool is a big challenge for them, and I don’t think they will be able to win over that challenge, so they will have to accept that defeat this season and focus on having a better performance next season so that they will be able to meet up.

[baeva]

I also do not consider PSG to be a loser in a major competition, namely the Champions League, so far they have maximized their game well, but luck is not on PSG's side. Attacks after attacks launched by PSG can still be held back by Liverpool so that they are overwhelmed in breaking through a very strong defense, after thinking about it, PSG does not have the ability to advance to the final round and win the Champions League title, this season the competition is very tight, it is likely that the Premier League team will dominate the champion. I also don't say that PSG is bad, they just haven't been lucky in the Champions League because teams from other leagues have enough experience in European competitions.

PSG's next challenge in the Champions League this season is when PSG plays at Liverpool's home in the second leg because Liverpool will definitely play much better than the first leg and Liverpool also does not want to be embarrassed by PSG in front of their own supporters. Especially if the match is a match that is quite crucial and important for both teams so that the intensity will be much greater than what we have seen in the first leg. But personally I still believe that Liverpool is a team that will be able to qualify for the next round because Liverpool's defense and attack are truly extraordinary this season.

If you look at the first game, you get the impression that neither of these teams are worthy to go further, the match was incredibly boring and only at the end Liverpool somehow managed to score a goal. I don't know what could have happened to them, what caused this game, but I hope that the second game will be interesting, no matter who goes further. If PSG go through by some miracle, I doubt they will be able to go through to the next stage, they are not as strong as Liverpool.

[GxSTxV]

Liverpool are in a good position going into the return leg, they have a goal advantage and the return leg will be at Anfield, and at home they have lost one match against Nottingham, the rest of the matches were unbeaten. The way Liverpool played the match against PSG was unexpected, I did not think that Slot would decide to sit in defense, but for them it worked and they were even able to win. Now for PSG things are not going well, they will not be able to win at home, it will be even more difficult to do it away.

Liverpool couldn’t dominate in form of playing and creating chances, but surely they could dominate in the score when they managed to score at the very last moments, exactly at the 87th minute of the match. Personally, I was waiting for a win from PSG, they could dominate with many chances they have created, very close to score. However, Liverpool players performed a tight defense and with a half chance, they scored a very important goal, a goal that might be their key of qualification for the next round.

In the other side, almost the same scenario when Barcelona suffered from an early red card, which was a very bad luck to them but not totally after scoring with a counterattack and managed also to keep their sheets clean outside home. With a perfect chance for them also to pass this round against Benfica.

Your analysis are quite interesting and looking very relatable as to what we should be expecting in the second leg of the match between Liverpool and PSG. In all ramifications, Liverpool are the better team and are also going to make the game more fascinating to watch. PSG best chances are in the first leg of the match and they did not utilize it well as they should and left behind most chances in that game even though Liverpool was also defensive minded throughout the game. I will also give Liverpool the liberty to win the second leg of the match and PSG’s journey in the champions league this season coming to an end in this round. They gave them a tougher opponent and there won’t be able to eliminate them rather end their journey here.

Yee, It's really naive to think that everything has already been decided, especially with Aston Villa, Barcelona and Inter. Sensations happen quite often, and these teams have a minimal advantage or a little more than minimal, so they can easily lose and it will not be a sensation. I also always suggest putting money on the table when someone is too sure of something. It is one thing to reason theoretically and another thing to assess the situation when you are risking your money. Suddenly the situation looks different 

[Furious 7]

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are already confirmed to be in the quarter-finals, while the others are not certain because the results can still be a surprise including Real Madrid who will face Atletico in the second leg.
Liverpool, even though they won when playing at PSG's home, it is not certain that PSG will not be able to reply in the second leg.
Although it is still early days, I think the scenario is still possible to change.

For Arsenal and Bayern, I am actually quite sure that they are still very likely to qualify, especially for Arsenal who have an aggregate of 6 goals for the second leg, but in the end, for other clubs, I actually do not think they are guaranteed to qualify for the next phase in this case because the Champions League is sometimes full of surprises so we cannot say that they are certain to qualify just because of 1 leg in this case.

Barcelona is still uncertain, Bayern is also actually even though they are 3 goals ahead but there could be another surprise created by Leverkusen, unlike Arsenal, where even though they lose if they do not lose more than 5 goals, it will make them qualify in the end, but losing with a score like that at home clearly seems difficult to happen.
The Champions League is always full of surprises even though in the end the winner in the first leg clearly has a greater chance, but that does not mean they are certain to qualify for now.

Now for PSG things are not going well, they will not be able to win at home, it will be even more difficult to do it away.

With a 1-goal advantage and with those who will play home clearly makes Liverpool's situation still feel better than PSG for now, it's just that for now 1 goal is clearly not a big aggregate especially when Liverpool have the same performance as the first leg then it could be a reversal that happens later.

They have to try their best for now because if you look at the first leg especially with the possession and the number of chances they got before, honestly I think they will still be a little threatened in the current conditions in the second leg.
But as long as they play the same focus as the first leg and the players can show their quality like Alisson who performed well before then it could indeed be a pretty good result for Liverpool later.

But personally I still believe that Liverpool is a team that will be able to qualify for the next round because Liverpool's defense and attack are truly extraordinary this season.

Just the way you said it earlier, Liverpool will not want to be embarrassed when playing at their own home; if not, we all see what happened in the first leg. We see the kind of pressure that was coming from PSG, and only that made Liverpool find it very difficult to win the match. It was the end of the match that managed to score 1 goal, luckily, because that was their first shot on target, and they luckily won that match.

If not, PSG played them from the beginning of the match. The second leg will be played at Liverpool's home, and since every team is strong playing at home. I believe Liverpool will be stronger to win the second leg, even though PSG will come prepared.
