UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Kristiyana]

PSG confidence has increased after beating Liverpool and their motivation to continue is very high but on the other hand we also cannot deny that Aston Villa also has the same determination. They are a team that was not predicted from the start to qualify this far in the Champions League. In terms of strength, of course PSG is superior but Aston Villa must also be preparing a surprise that we cannot predict.

It is really funny to say that PSG confidence has increased after winning liverpool, they never lack confidence is just that so many don't understand football.before the match majorly underestimated the experience of PSG but at end the unexpected happened.The fact that PSG is more stronger than Aston villa is not a guarantee that they will end up winning the match, even if they will win is not going to be as easy as many may think.

I don't see an easy match PSG will face in the match against aston villa later, although they managed to beat Liverpool in the round of 16 but that doesn't mean aston villa doesn't have a chance to destroy PSG, in terms of player quality in my opinion the two teams are quite balanced so it's hard to say who will be superior in the match later especially since both of them both have great goalkeepers under the crossbar, indeed PSG looked tough when they beat Liverpool but we also don't forget how Arsenal could beat them easily in the previous semi league phase match, in my opinion, the victory will be largely determined by the coach strategy, both of which have been quite experienced in European competition so far.

Exactly the point, you know most people are still underestimating Aston villa by saying that psg will get them eliminated in the champions league. You know for the fact that psg got liverpool Eliminated in the champions league does not give them the guarantee that they will also do the same to Aston villa, I think they have forgotten how consistant they're in their performance both in champions league and also in there domestic league. Honestly I will never bet psg to win Aston villa because this both teams are still in a good performance, so the possibility for psg to win Aston villa is not certain, so if I'm to predict this game I think I will just go for 1.5 just to be in the safer side.

Agreed, but it is quite complicated to draw preliminary conclusions. However I think PSG has proven big time how strong they can be. Check out the ways they had to pass to qualify for the next round.

PSG: toughest opponents in the first phase were Arsenal, Bayern, Atletico Madrid and Man City and then in the round of 16 Liverpool after being down 0-1 in their home game. The fact that they are in the quarterfinal now is unbelievable

Aston Villa: toughest opponents in the first phase were Bayern and Juventus Turin, that's it. Round of 16 was Brugge.

Yet this is the Champions League and Aston Villa is not without chances, but if I had to draw a conclusion right now, PSG is the winner at first glance.

PSG did manage to beat most of the hard teams they faced, which is going to be a great confidence booster for them and they could face any team and do fine. Aston Villa and Unai Emery are great opponents and PSG will of course have a hard time, but they did manage to beat Liverpool, the leader of the same league, eventual champion by the end I am sure. So if PSG plays properly then there shouldn't be any reason why they should fail to beat Villa as well.

To be fair, if PSG Plays with their 100% and not make mistakes and do not get some super unlucky shots like last years Dortmund game, there are maybe two teams in the world that could beat PSG right now, and that is a maybe. The issue is usually PSG not being 100% in some games.

Luis Enrique is doing a great job especially because they got rid of all the star players and he's building a young team. Of course they spent a lot of money for those players but I appreciate this PSG way more than the old one.

Has he spent more money than Pep Guardiola? Well, what do I know? Lol that will be a story for another day. It's glad to see them improve after losing Lionel Messi,  Kylain Mbappe and Neymar Jr. I'm proud of Luis Enrique and his squad,  I won't be boggled seeing him winning the Champions league competition. He has the experience as he already won with Barcelona.  They'll be up with a familiar face ( Unai Emery ) who has one time managed the club. They weren't doing so well, but stepped up and won the best side from group stage should send a strong message across down the spines of other clubs.

PSG management has spent a lot of money in the past years. Even then, this team does not get the expected success. But has Luis Enrique spent too much money? Luis Enrique would have spent a very large amount of money to add any player to the squad. PSG is still a mediocre squad. Even then, the team is able to perform excellently with the help of Luis Enrique.

It was unexpected that PSG will play so well in the Champions League this season and defeat Liverpool. Luis Enrique has made the impossible possible. Aston Villa is not a difficult opponent for PSG in the quarter-finals now. An easy victory is waiting for PSG in this match

PSG are in a transitional phase. I would never call them "a mediocre squad", as I was saying they have a very interesting team, a great manager who knows how to work with young players, and if they give him and the players enough time they may actually make it. It doesn't always work, I remember 20 years ago Arsenal had a beautiful team with a great mix of young and experienced players but unfortunately they never won the Champions League.

Frankly, I don't think Arsenal is very lucky in this matchup. They will play Real Madrid and Real Madrid has effective players like Mbappé and Vini Junior. They also have players like Valverde who can make great shots from a distance and sometimes create big surprises. Their substitute players are also very high quality and can change the flow of the game by entering the game later. I think Real Madrid will come out on top in the Real Madrid and Arsenal match. I also think Paris Saint-Germain played well enough to make it to the final this year in both Liverpool matches.

[Distraction]

About the draw...

- PSG should be continuing on their road. After watching PSG against Liverpool I just give Aston Villa a much smaller chance.  

- Barcelona should also be able to eliminate Dortmund without big issues. They are having their best season in the recent years thanks to Hansi Flick.

- Real Madrid are the kings of the competition already. They somehow find their way out. But I think Arsenal is easier to beat compared to Atletico Madrid.  

- Inter look stronger to me in the last one. Inzaghi vs Kompany... Which one would you choose while they both have very capable squads?

You sound like Arsenal doesn't have players and they are not good, I won't be surprise if Arsenal beat Real Madrid because anything is possible in football just that Real Madrid always play with a special spirit and mindset when it comes to champions league and they are always fortunate to win or qualify. Arsenal has two strong midfielder Declan rice and Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka is back from injury though he is not that strong but I believe he will don wonders that day. We should not conclude or be so sure that Real Madrid has qualified because the outcome is not certain.

You're right. It is totally strange if there are people who say PSG is a mediocre team/squad. Everyone knows that PSG is one of big teams since few years ago. Even, this team ever has Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar together in their squad. Nowadays, they still have many top players in their squad. Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernández, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Ousmane Dembélé are some of the great players in the world. It is just nonsense if people say they are mediocre. They were just unlucky that they often failed to win UCL in the previous seasons. But in this season, they have a better mentality to compete in UCL. PSG looks stronger after Enrique became the manager/coach of this team. Enrique has won many trophies with Barcelona and PSG. So, it is not surprising if we see PSG to play stronger this season.

[Pokapoka124]

That is what you think about the match but football is beyond and more than that because and in football anything is possible though merely looking at what they played Liverpool and there performance it is certain or convincing that they will win Aston villa but that is not how to judge football although I haven't seen there history, if at all they have history. Me personally I think Aston villa will beat PSG and quality for semi finals though it is going to be a very tough match .

The history that cannot be denied is about PSG who have never won the Champions League until last season, although for this season I personally still can't be sure. And for the match between PSG and Aston Villa, almost everyone will favor PSG as the team that will advance to the next round, but that doesn't mean we should think that Aston Villa is weak because it could be that the team will prepare a clever strategy to be able to beat PSG in the quarter-finals this time.

You are right. Judging by their strong performance in their domestic league and also the Champions League this season, I think PSG have a chance of winning it. As for the match against Aston Villa, PSG will definitely be favourite based on their overall performance  and squad depth. However Villa's recent form and home advantage could make it a tougher contest than expected.

Who knows, with Luis Enrique, PSG will succeed in winning the Champions League trophy, the opportunity is wide open for them. We realize that teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are big obstacles, but PSG current bargaining value certainly should not be underestimated. Previously, perhaps only a few believed that PSG would be able to eliminate Liverpool, but unexpectedly Luis Enrique squad managed to break many assumptions. Luck may still be on PSG's side in the next round. It is unfair to say that PSG is not a big team, just because they have never won the Champions League trophy. Everyone can clearly see the accumulation of the market value of the players they currently have, PSG is in 7th place.

[Adiljutt156]

Every team usually has a chance against Real Madrid in the CL, until the match starts and then they show the world why they are called the kings of Europe. I don't know how Real Madrid do it, but they are almost unbeatable in the CL, they will eliminate Arsenal, i am almost certain of that, and if and when Madrid gets to the semi-final, you know they are very close to winning it again, and they might just do it.

There is a 99% chance that Real Madrid will eliminate Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. Arsenal have been struggling with inconsistency and injuries to key players. Not to mention a lack of experience at this stage of the competition, which could make it difficult for them to compete against a more seasoned and balanced squad like Real Madrid. Arsenal’s chances of progressing to the semi final is one in a million.

There are many days remaining in this match and Real Madrid football team will play against Arsenal football team in the Emirates Stadium. And that will be match of UEFA Champions League . My six sense is saying that Arsenal team will win this match because the prepared well for this match and all people are supporting Real Madrid team and Real Madrid could lose this match. Éder Militão is injured in this match and it could be big loss of Real Madrid team and they will struggle and Arsenal team should try to attack in this match and then result will be in the side of Arsenal.The head to head performance of Real Madrid team is good against Arsenal team but there is most of chances Arsenal will be angry in this match and they will do best to win this match.

Arsenal will compete very well on their home turf, but when it comes to Real Madrid, nothing is certain. Real Madrid has a squad that can beat Arsenal in England. Ancelotti is a coach who analyzes very well and tries to beat his opponent with high technical ability. I am sure he has thought about Arsenal as well. I see Real Madrid as the favorite for this match, but since it will be played in England, Arsenal can show their best.

Luis Enrique is doing a great job especially because they got rid of all the star players and he's building a young team. Of course they spent a lot of money for those players but I appreciate this PSG way more than the old one.

Paris Saint-Germain didn't have a proper start in the UEFA Champions League, the odds of PSG was low but now, it's becoming higher than anyone could possibly think of. Paris Saint-Germain performance have been astonishing this season, all thanks and accolades goes to the former Barcelona manager who's currently the manager of PSG, Luis Enrique. If Paris Saint-Germain doesn't find his way round the UEFA trophy this season, it's understandable because he lost some vital players who were consider pillars of the club, I can say alot changes in the club.

What a way to see Paris Saint-Germain becoming a vital and competent team to be in the list for clubs to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season. If PSG beats the odds to win UCL trophy, it will be memorable for them in all cases. PSG are in top prime and will thrash oppositions that crosses their path.

It is true that at the beginning of the season PSG really performed less than satisfactory, they even had to go through the play-off round first if they wanted to enter the last 16, which of course was different from Liverpool, they were able to be at the top of the standings, which finally made them actually worthy of being the strongest candidate to become the UCL champion this season. but uniquely in the fight to reach the quarter-finals PSG managed to beat them, it really shows that PSG is a strong team and of course Luis Enrique is very great at this.

I agree with your opinion, even if PSG's performance declines, it is indeed natural considering that their players are not like before and now Mbappe, who was a mainstay player last season, also plays for Real Madrid. but yes, this is where Luis's greatness is seen and of course it cannot be separated from Luis Enrique's services. yes, of course PSG has the potential to win trophies this season as long as they really continue to win consistently. yes, of course, we'll just see what happens later. but with PSG's current performance, of course, there is potential for PSG to have a bright future. and surely Luis will make his best strategy and will surely find out Aston Villa's weaknesses.

I see Real Madrid as the favorite for this match, but since it will be played in England, Arsenal can show their best.

There's something in football, we should never underestimate any competitive side in football especially in the UEFA Champions League where miracles do happen. Arsenal have been underrated this season and still yet, they're in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League and this is something for the club to be amazed about, reaching this key phase in UCL is just not for nothing. Mikel Arteta knows exactly how to comprehend his big sides towards one of the very best existing team in Europe. We're talking about Real Madrid.

Real Madrid beats all odds to win the UEFA champions league title again this season, it's consecutively winnings for them. Whereas, Arsenal are not in good shape following the unpresentable form of the club. Mikel Arteta is not happy about the injuries inflicted on his main key players caused consternation in the club as the team's chances of winning the UEFA Champions League title seemed to dwindled.

[mamesso]

You are right. Judging by their strong performance in their domestic league and also the Champions League this season, I think PSG have a chance of winning it. As for the match against Aston Villa, PSG will definitely be favourite based on their overall performance  and squad depth. However Villa's recent form and home advantage could make it a tougher contest than expected.

It could be that Luis Enrique's influence could make PSG end their long wait, after successfully eliminating Liverpool, their motivation will increase 2x more than before, especially since the opponent they will face is weaker than Liverpool.
However, PSG must remain vigilant and must not underestimate their opponents, they must remain focused on their goal because if they succeed in qualifying for the next round, they will face the winner between Arsenal vs Real Madrid, it will be much more difficult because each team will try to show their best performance in order to appear in the final.

[SatoPrincess]

Yeah, anything is possible in the game of football, but in this case I will always go with PSG this campaign. I initially didn't believe in them when the competition started in September. My convictions about them started with the way and manner they played against Manchester City in game day 7 of the group stages game, although people will argue that City isn't in form but the way PSG played even after they were 2 goals down was top notch. Their game against Liverpool in the Round of 16, the way they managed, controlled and advanced even when they lost at their home ground was something else. In my opinion PSG stands a better chance of beating Aston Villa.

I want to trust Luis Enrique. Ultimately, I believe that PSG players will not make any mistakes in the match against Aston Villa. Aston Villa is not a very strong opponent. At least, Aston Villa will be weak compared to Liverpool.

Luis Enrique is very experienced in the Champions League platform. And that is why he is able to defeat the strong Liverpool in the round of 16 match. PSG's qualification for the knockout round was uncertain. Even then, this team is now in the quarter-finals. I believe that PSG will ensure a ticket to the semi-finals by defeating the Aston Villa team.

Luis Enrique deserves all the praises he gets for his brilliant work in reviving this PSG team Christophe Galtier left off. His experience has improved the team immensely compared to last season however it will be another test when they face Aston Villa in the Champions League quarter finals and I’m sure it won’t be so easy but we will see.

Luis Enrique is a great coach and has given a method to the new team and the whole environment is happy, just see the statements that Gigio Donnarumma did when he was talking about renewal of the contract, he specifically said with his prosecutor that the intention is to stay at the PSG and that he is very happy to play with them, so I think he can really go and beat everyone this year this year

[Majestic-milf]

 PSG will play Aston Villa and even though Unai Emery's side are not as consistent as one might like in the EPL, they still got what it takes to cause trouble for Luis Enrique's men and their hopes of going far.
Unai Emery is not a stranger to competitions like this and as such will prepare his boys to expect any thing from PSG especially as they may have seen how the French giants dealt with Liverpool who are the table toppers in the EPL so it will be his fault if Villa don't present a challenge to them.
 Another thing that may happen is that PSG may be too focused on winning the game and forget some key areas like their defense and although I trust Gianluigi Donnarumma between the sticks but if his defense don't play their part, Aston Villa can take advantage.

The PSG players have had more spirit after being able to eliminate Liverpool in the Champions League this season, but I hope they are all not too arrogant about it because PSG is a team that is fighting to be able to put its name on the Champions League trophy because PSG is one of the teams that has not had the trophy in his career. So I think it is okay with the statement from a PSG goalkeeper because what he has been able to do this season is also clear, but there is no need to be too happy if PSG has not qualified for the Champions League final this season.

PSG is in high confidence after successfully eliminating Liverpool but PSG's consistency this season has not been tested so I think there is still a possibility for Aston Villa to beat PSG in the quarter-finals later.
Overall, I think the strength of Aston Villa and PSG is not much different so it is possible for this match to be fierce.
Regarding concentration and priority, of course all teams will focus on the Champion League match because this competition is the main target of every team, especially PSG who are now only focusing on the UCL competition after they are comfortable enough at the top of the league 1 standings without any pressure to defend the title.

Of course Aston villa will always want to fight on behalf of liverpool since psg is the one that got them Eliminated in the champions league, definitely Aston villa wouldn't want to be Eliminated as well by psg  this is going to make it very tough for psg. and if they're not careful I won't be surprise to see Aston villa defeating them in the champions league because Aston villa is not that easy to deal with.

Before PSG beat Liverpool I thought that Liverpool was the favorite, now PSG have shown that they are ready to beat the strongest teams. Bayern is definitely not in the best shape now, Real also has problems in defense, so you can try to beat these teams. By the way, I also have such thoughts that for Enrique this could be a good Champions League, I will assume that after they beat Aston Villa, and will have to play with Real in the semi-finals and with Barcelona in the final, but I doubt that such Barcelona can be beaten...
