UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Kristiyana]

Reaching finals one year, doesn't mean you are always good. Inter did get there two years ago, finals are awesome, City vs Inter finals was amazing game and we loved watching it. Inter had so many chances at the last minute that they missed, could have been a winner that game. City did treble that season, so Inter couldn't ruin their epic season, we remember that.

However, that was 2 years ago, and we can't say Inter is the same team, so they could lose to Bayern Munich this season, there isn't anything keeping that from happening. If Bayern plays like they normally play, the odds and chances on the images are showing how Bayern should be normally winning this game, only in an extraordinary situation can Inter get a win here.

I believe you know that inter have improved higher in this season because they are dominating in Italy and UEFA champion league for you to know that they will not find it difficult to beat Bayern Munich. I know that Bayern Munich is a strong team that has talented players in this season, but I don't think they have squads that will stop inter not to win this game because inter will definitely introduce new tactics to make the game difficult for Bayern Munich.

Now that Manchester city and other teams is out of the game, I guess inter and Barcelona are the major team will meet in the final battle because the two teams have the energy and tactics to win their games to move to next stage to face each other in the final battle.

So as far as they're talented of course they can still make use of their tactics you know sometimes squads does not matter, what is the essence of having a squad when they're not tactical? So you can't possibly say that bayern munich can not defeat them due to their squad remember is football we are talking about here, so anything can be possible. Moreover Bayern munich is still in a very good performance so the possibility for inter to win this match is not certain.

[MArsland]

It is true that all the games in the next round will be enlightened and worth watching, yet I think people will have the most focus on Barcelona and Real Madrid's match because everyone wants to consider how these two teams are performing. We can see that Arsenal player Bukayo Saka is back, we think this could definitely be positive news for English clubs getting a chance at the Champions League.

Moreover in recent times, many people have highlighted that the Real Madrid Club is weak in their defense, Despite being such a strong club, they should be doing much more important work here because I think their upcoming matches will all be very stressful.

Bukayo Saka Arsenal injury return decided - Real Madrid hope, Mikel Arteta worry, Fulham option

Yes, but is it just because Saka is back to tear Real Madrid apart? Of course not, especially since Arsenal don’t have a striker who is hungry for goals. Arsenal’s game may be stable from all sides, but scoring goals is a different role. Let’s look at Real Madrid, maybe you can stop Rodrygo, then Vini and Mbappe will move, stop all three, then Bellingham breaks the deadlock. We have seen Madrid escape the pressure of great teams so as the owner of the most trophies it will still be a serious problem for Arsenal who have nothing to be proud of. You know what UEFA does now? hinder Madrid by finding fault with their players celebrations.

[Felicity_Tide]

I think Real Madrid vs Arsenal game is the most awaiting match to come soon. I can't deny how people are getting hyped caused by those clubs were very rarely meet each other.

As per their odds, Madrid is not in favor to win the game, but have only slightly gap to the Arsenal. They're arguably better in attack, but equally to the arsenal in defending.

As a real fan, i'm surely picking Madrid. The problem is they're potentially miss some players in the Arsenal clash. It's due to the UEFA's shitty sanction.

Every game in the next round is going to be lit and worth watching.. For me, I would love to watch everything but specifically Realmadrid vs Arsenal, Dortmund vs Barcelona.. can't miss those e two ..
The odds might have given Arsenal the favour probably because of their previous H2H in UCL , yet it's still  a win and a draw , not that much of a gap actually,this time could be different but I'm only looking forward for a nice game  .. I don't know why the section had to come this time but I would have love them playing with a full squad so we can know who's really losing the game.

It's definitely going to an interesting one. I urge UEFA to fix those two games in separate days, because they don't expect us to watch those two interesting games at the same time. I think the majority of us thinks that real madrid will advance to the next round, and maybe winning both legs, but it seems bookmakers are seeing something different. Maybe our expectations for the game might not just be met, as we might get something different.

And as for the first OP, i'm not certain if UEFA will hit that sanction. I saw mbappe's clip, but not sure of what the other players did. Sanctioning those players might just reduce the quality of the next game. I'm not in support of whatever they did, but the chances of UEFA trying to ruin a game by sanctioning key players is very slim, except UEFA chooses to prove me wrong.

Actually, things like this do not become a benchmark although there may be a possibility to affect performance but actually this will not be a benchmark that a club can win or lose because of performance in other competitions especially when we know that sometimes in some moments sometimes focusing on one competition becomes a situation that some clubs sometimes do.

We can see an example in this case when they (Bayern) were in the last 16 against Leverkusen because they also lost in the Bundesliga at that time against Bochum with a 3-goal drama but in the end they were quite capable of defeating Leverkusen at that time.

Indeed, good performance and consistency can make the enthusiasm and chance to play better even greater but in the end this does not become a reference for the club because it can focus better in the Champions League than the domestic competition and vice versa.

Concentration on a competition can lead to different results, as in the case of Bayern and in my opinion, unfortunately concentration is needed together with other factors such as luck and physical form, i would give them equal weight

then consistency and good performances are important, but they do not determine the overall success of a club, you can fall into error, the important thing is to get back up again, i think

How does it make sense to favour Inter Milan against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League?Especially when the first leg of the competition will be played at Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's turf. Even though Davies and Dayot Upamecano has been sidelined due to injury, that is not enough reason to justify the odds  Inter  Milan. Bayern Munich has a stronger squad, and has a strong European pedigree and attacking firepower which makes them clear favourites at home.

I also see it from the same perspective as you, Bayern Munich is still able to maintain its performance well even though several players are injured. In addition, the first leg will be played at Bayern Munich headquarters, of course Kompany will try to instruct his men to perform optimally in front of their own supporters. Inter also needs to be wary of Bayern Munich sharp attack line, perhaps Munich will win the first leg but with a narrow score.

Yes, if we talk about performance, it is undeniable. Inter in UCL this season must be admitted that their defense is solid with only conceding 2 goals so far. So it is not an easy task for Bayern to break through the "Inter Wall", especially after the international break several Bayern Munich defenders were injured.

According to all bookies, Bayern Munich is favored in this match. But after seeing Liverpool very good but no one expected them to lose to PSG so I also no longer believe in the status of "favorite" because in this UCL competition anything can happen. However, I still think that in this match every team has the same chance.

Inter also cannot easily pass Bayern Munich, even with their solid defense (they have only conceded 2 goals in UCL this season so far). Because Inter still has tough matches in the domestic league, including the Milan Derby in the Coppa Italia semifinals.

[Mr Reporter]

It makes sense to favor inter in winning the first leg against Bayern. I know how they're not even being favored by google to win the game. They have even got 4,70 odds from bookies. Their odds actually represent how bookies have no trust in the to win the first leg.

It's really understandable when many parties so reluctant in picking them as a winner consider how strong their opponent is. However, there is a good news about Davies to be ruled out from Bayern's quad due to the injury. it gives so much hopes to the them to turn things around.

The problem is that they'er also being overshadowed by dumfries's injury. Moreover, they have no exact date about the return of Lautaro Martinez.If Dumfries and Lautaro can return at the game against Bayern. They may be winning it.

Bayern Munich has a stronger squad, and has a strong European pedigree and attacking firepower which makes them clear favourites at home.

favouring inter Milan against Bayern's in the Frist leg of the champions league seem very counterintuitive essentially when Bayern's is having an strong squad, historically Bayern's have had the upper hand against inter Milan with five wins to three in their past meeting inter Milan defender has been soiled this season in champions league, just five away games but Bayern's attacking firepower is a significant concern, the odds are favourable to Bayern Munich.

Winning by a narrow score is quite possible for Bayern Munich because the first leg is at Bayern Munich's headquarters. But Munich players must still give their best when hosting Inter Milan because the team is also a strong team in their own domestic league and is also strong in the Champions League this season. And if their match ends in a draw, it could make it more difficult for Munich in the second leg because the second leg is at Inter Milan's headquarters, so Munich must be able to win at their own headquarters even if only by a narrow score.

My prediction is that there will not be many goals scored, but this is just a prediction and it is possible that it will be a match that will create many goals. However, looking at the defense and attack side of both teams, of course with their strengths, a narrow score is a possible score.

But who will win? Well, that is a question that can only be answered in the match later, because the performance of both teams in this match is also very decisive. And I cannot rule out the possibility that one of them will have to perform badly. This is football where anything can happen.

I think in a games like this home advantage doesn't count because the both teams are top teams with quality in them so it will be decided on the bases of how creative a team is and the chances created in the game I think the both teams have equal chances of advancing to the last four this game is an acid test for both bayern munich and inter Milan because both teams are currently leading their respective locals leagues so I hope to seeing a very exciting

[Lidger]

Agree. In analyzing, we must not forget that Inter Milan is a team that has a strong defense. From the statistics that are available, in the Champions League, Inter has conceded very few goals. Another statistic is the away match, Inter also recorded 1 defeat.
This is why Inter Milan should not be underestimated even though bookies make Bayern Munich the favorite team to win with a percentage of almost 55% as we can see in the picture.

I can't trust the bookmakers' predictions for the Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich match at all. Because Inter Milan is not a team that is afraid of playing away or if the crowd support is in favor of the opposing team, it will have a negative impact on their game. It is conceivable that the first leg is going to be very defensive. Because Inter Milan will play defensively at Bayern Munich's ground and Bayern Munich will want to stop them, they have that ability because they are known for their strong defense throughout the season. Even if they play defensively, Inter Milan will go to the field against Bayern Munich to win.

In the 2022-23 season, Inter Milan played the Champions League final against Manchester City, and the team that Inter Milan had in the 2022-23 season has not changed much from the current team, but it goes without saying that Inter Milan will definitely be difficult as Bayern Munich's opponent. Now talking about the prediction of the match between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. Basically the performance of each match depends on how each team performed in each match separately. Just as past statistics are not useful, the record of a team against a team is not very useful, so those who do well on the field will have a better chance of winning. 

Bayern Munich's biggest hope is their striker Harry Kane. 
If Harry Kane can somehow stop Inter Milan, then Inter Milan will have a good chance against Bayern Munich. If Inter Milan can perform normally, they will be ahead of Bayern Munich.

If Bayern plays like they normally play, the odds and chances on the images are showing how Bayern should be normally winning this game, only in an extraordinary situation can Inter get a win here.

Two years ago Inter had quite an easy way up to the final, if I recall correctly they never actually met any big team, they have been very lucky because if they had meet Real Madrid or City during the quarter finals or the semifinals I doubt they would have made it through. They had (and have) a great team but there are better teams out there.

[Velvet78]

What if it happens to Barcelona vs Dortmund? 
I'm just being realistic because Dortmund reached the final last season. Although Arsenal also reached the final, that was a long time ago.

I just overlooked that possibility. 

Because you know, Dortmund really don't sound like that to me this season. They are performing even worse. They had a really hard time beating Lille out of the Champions League. Against a this powerful Barcelona? No way!

On the contrary, I would say that it would be a surprising drama if Inter managed to get past Munich. Because Inter are further away from being the UCL title contenders.

I know about the odds yeah. But I don't want to get tricked by that. I even find the odd gap unnecessarily big. One shouldn't underestimate Inter's capabilities with Simone Inzaghi. 

[letteredhub]

It's definitely an equal match, both is an elite team and can meet and play each other in any other European tie, it's not like it's Real Madrid Vs Bodo Glimt. In terms of defense, yes Arsenal has a more solid defense than Real Madrid as it stands and yes their midfield is also very good and they have attackers that can cause Real Madrid serious problems in their final third.

Hehehe, are you for real? Arsenal have attackers that can cause Real Madrid serious trouble! Don't be carried away by their performance against PSV scoring a lot of goals. Why do you think arsenal couldn't contend with Liverpool for the EPL trophy. They lack a strong attacking frontline as such can't cause any troubles, when they meet a better side like Real Madrid we're going to see that revealed . With Kylian Mbappe, Vini Jr, Jude Bellingham arsenal defence can't hold it for that too long. It's going to be an interesting game, you'll see.

When it comes to champions league,I think Real Madrid is a better side than Arsenal considering the numbers of times Real Madrid have played and have won the champions league although,Arsenal is still a strong team but in football experience matters alot. So since Real Madrid have won the champions league more than Arsenal,they might used their experience as a pressing Advantage against Arsenal. I think Real Madrid is the favorite team to win this match although am not literally saying Arsenal is weak but Real Madrid is stronger opponent and will surely beat them on that day.

Is obvious that majority of this gamblers will choose to bet on real madrid, even those that have passion in football meanwhile they're not gamblers will still consider real madrid to be the favorite team due to thier level of experience towards champions league. and also due to the poor performance of arsenal lately, but we shouldn't be surprise when we see things working differently because they might be so unlucky this time.

We wouldn't blame people having to put their money where they believe is with the biggest chances of making them profit. As much as we gamble and enjoy the games we also want to win our bets to make some figures too, right? So it's normal to go for the favourite in any game.
Arsenal has not given much performance this season to build gamblers confidence on taking a confident risk on them but that doesn't mean in football anything can't happen but in the main time putting our money on Real Madrid seems realistic more than whatever unlucky situation that could come up for Madrid in favour of arsenal. Just as Cossyblack said, Madrid has all the experience they needs to win this EPL side.

Bayern Munich vs Inter should be the final, because it is a match between two teams that have equal quality and strength and besides both teams are at the top of their respective leagues which will certainly be a big match awaited by football lovers.

And you are absolutely right this is a tough test for both teams to be able to advance to the semi-finals, and in this match besides the players, the coach also has a role to make strategies, tactics and also field the right players to be able to win this match.

Even though Davies and Dayot Upamecano has been sidelined due to injury, that is not enough reason to justify the odds  Inter  Milan. Bayern Munich has a stronger squad, and has a strong European pedigree and attacking firepower which makes them clear favourites at home.

If Bayern Munich are going to have these two players absent in their upcoming match against inter Milan, forget it Bayern Munich are more likely to lose the match it doesn't matter where they are playing the match. Inter Milan is not an average team just hope you know that. They are topping the Italian league same way Bayern so topping the German Bundesliga. Davies and Dayot Upamecano are big names in Bayern Munich dressing room and having these two players absent at once it's a big factor that has the potential of making Bayern Munich lose this match. The only thing that Bayern Munich should be praying for right now is that Inter Milan should not have their full squad as well. Inter Milan is not a small team. We might think that Davies and Dayot Upamecano absence is nothing, but I believe that Vincent Kompany is already sweating on their absence.

How do you think anyone will assume that Bayern Munich will lose against Inter Milan at Alianz Arena, how is that even possible? but i think that despite the home advantage, the odds given to Inter is high since anything can still happen and the results overturns expectation of people because some factors that affects a match may likely happen on or before the match day such as injuries, a key player not being fit to play or a possible red card, all these are to be put in consideration and besides Inter Milan is not a small club either, they could just made the odd to be around 3 odd or 3.50 odd instead of 4.70 odd, it's too high.

It's really understandable when many parties so reluctant in picking them as a winner consider how strong their opponent is. However, there is a good news about Davies to be ruled out from Bayern's quad due to the injury. it gives so much hopes to the them to turn things around.

If Alphonso Boyle Davies is ruled out of Bayern Munich squad, that means there will be a problem since the Canadan team captain holds an important position as a left back and considering how inspiring he discharges his duty is that position so it definitely going to be a huge blow for Bayern Munich but his absence won't cost Bayern Munich to lose against Inter Milan.

The problem is that they'er also being overshadowed by dumfries's injury. Moreover, they have no exact date about the return of Lautaro Martinez.If Dumfries and Lautaro can return at the game against Bayern. They may be winning it.

Thank goodness Dumfries and Lautaro Martinez are not certain if they will return against Bayern Munich which means that the pressure won't be much for Bayern Munich. Even if both players feature, they can't still win Munich but they can play draw.

[WatChe]

Just as Cossyblack said, Madrid has all the experience they needs to win this EPL side.

If you want to enjoy the game then don't place any money because if you have placed money then your main focus throughout the game is to see your team winning. If that didn't happen, one carry feeling of disappointment and anxiety at the end of game.  

Arsenal in EPL is doing a great job and currently at number 2 on points table. I think it's difficult to say who is favourite in Arsenal vs Real Madrid quarter final. Arsenal performance in UEFA is more compelling compared to Real Madrid, in round of 16 Arsenal has beaten PSV by an aggregate of 9-3 while Real Madrid qualify for quarter final on penalties.  

[Pandorak]

I think Real Madrid vs Arsenal game is the most awaiting match to come soon. I can't deny how people are getting hyped caused by those clubs were very rarely meet each other.

As a real fan, i'm surely picking Madrid. The problem is they're potentially miss some players in the Arsenal clash. It's due to the UEFA's shitty sanction.

I feel a great sensation in looking forward to this match, of course Arsenal who has a very good game pattern meets a club that has a fast and deadly attack like Real Madrid, it will really be an extraordinary moment for both. although Arsenal is the favorite club in this match, but they must be careful, Real Madrid players cannot be underestimated, they often make unexpected surprises.

My wild expectation is that Real Madrid has a great chance to win this match, no matter how well Arsenal have performed before, Real Madrid is still my favorite in this match.

[Furious 7]

Actually, things like this do not become a benchmark although there may be a possibility to affect performance but actually this will not be a benchmark that a club can win or lose because of performance in other competitions especially when we know that sometimes in some moments sometimes focusing on one competition becomes a situation that some clubs sometimes do.

then consistency and good performances are important, but they do not determine the overall success of a club, you can fall into error, the important thing is to get back up again, i think

Mentality is also an important factor in this case because after all, sometimes the winning mentality is one of the references that they are still to make some breakthroughs on the field later despite facing a strong club.

However, for now the quarter-finals are a little difficult when talking about probabilities so Inter and Bayern actually have an almost equal chance for me regardless of how their squad is and how their internal problems are actually quite equal so for now the performance, discipline on the field and winning mentality is clearly something that should be tested whether they deserve to qualify for the next phase or not.

This is an interesting match for the quarter-finals because the more they can make a difference on the pitch, the better their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals.
