UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Btcdeybodi]

Arsenal 1 Vs Real Madrid 0
What a hot from Declan Rice to get the ball past Thibaut Courtois from the free kick. Alaba concedes a free kick as he fouls Saka close to the 18 yard box. It was a long range but the English man beat the Belgium goalkeeper with a shot to get the gunners ahead in the tie. Now Real Madrid concedes again for the 9th consecutive games. I'm not really sure so far this season that Real Madrid has kept a clean sheet.

Arsenal doing wonders in this match, when i saw their energy in the first half i was waiting for a surprise in the second half and here comes the goal to compliment their efforts, if they can maintain the lead till full time it will definitely be a good achievement for them. It will be lovely to see Arsenal win Real Madrid so that some analyst will know that football predictions is not just as obvious as it seems.

While typing i just saw that Arsenal has scored a second goal and the match is currently sitting at 2:0, second goal is courtesy of Declan Rice again and that makes it a brace for the England defensive midfielder.

Saying that you are not sure if Real Madrid has kept a clean sheet this season sounds ridiculous because they actually got clean sheets in some of their games this season.

Overall Arsenal was better in the first half and had much better chances. They should have scored at least one goal hopefully they wont get punished in the second half. Real Madrid like always waiting on their counter attack and they might even score from them with how much space they have when its a counter attack

Indeed Arsenal was clearly the better team over the first 45 minutes, they could easily have been at least a goal ahead, but it's still all to play for in the 2nd half. I hope Arsenal can just keep playing the way they did in the first half while not overcommitting men to the attack, they should surely be able to get a goal.

Declan Rice finally got Gunners on the lead with a 58 minutes goal from a free kick. I wonder if Real Madrid might be able to get an equalizer or Arsenal would add more, there is still enough time for the tides to be change. Anyway, it is shocking or impressive for me to see Declan Rice getting a goal through free kick.

Another creek goal again from the English man, Declan Rice is on fire for the gunners. He was like hold my beer, since Thibaut Courtois will not let us score from normal play let me use free kicks to destroy him, lol.  Arsenal will now be like, let's just play so that we will be fouled close to the 18 yard box and we will leave everything for the English man to do what he has done best tonight. The gunners are really getting away with this in England, they need to bury the game here so no chances for a comeback from the Champions League kings.

Rice scored 2 goals from set pieces. Real want the whistle to go now because they will accept a 3-0 defeat. Can Arsenal win in Spain?

Can anyone tell me why Arsenal is given 2.05 to win Real Madrid and Real Madrid win is at 3.6 odd? I find this very strange because I had the opinion that Real Madrid was going to win the match but seeing the odd, I'm a little skeptical in that match. In cases like this, it is either there is information of injuries on the side of the bigger team or some form of news that will make them not play at optimal performance, which I have not heard about Real Madrid tonight. Any opinion is welcomed.

Apart from home, Arsenal is also good to face Real Madrid.
The match was almost over the first 45 minutes (half time), Arsenal's game still made me assume if Real Madrid could not beat Arsenal even though Real Madrid when the match entered the 20th minute began to find the rhythm of the game so the percentage of ball possession began to be balanced.
A draw is still the best scenario, it seems.

Inter 1 Goal. This will make Bayern Munich difficult.

Arsenal pattern is really giving Real Madrid a tough time mainly because of the fact that they have a lot of midfielders who are close marking the Madrid team, Arsenal are not good in shooting the ball from outside the 18 yard box, if not they would have gotten a goal in the first half, the playing pattern of driving the ball to the goal mouth before attempting to score isn't the best for them, you could see the likes of kylian mbappé and vinicius junior will likely strike a shot from outside the 18 yard box, Madrid are more aggressive on the front line than Arsenal at least from what I've seen from the first half.

Arsenal played brilliantly and have now scored three goals. They are in much better shape than in the first half and the hero of the match was undoubtedly Declan Rice. He did an incredible job by scoring two goals. I can't remember any other player scoring two free kicks in the Champions League in recent years. If Arsenal advance, they will owe it to Rice and his free kicks.

Arsenal is obviously performing exceptionally great tonight, can't believe Arsenal is trashing the King of Champions League Real Madrid by 3:0 now, the second half is really becoming so interesting. The performance of Arsenal in the first half was very suspicious and i was like it's this really the Arsenal i know or they borrowed players to play this match today. As it stands now, they should just try and not concede any goals till the match ends, they need to play a defensive game now and protect the 3 goals they have already scored. Bravo! to the Arsenal team for a job well done against Real Madrid, i think Arsenal's critics will go mute when they see this score. Football is surely unpredictable, imagine Arsenal that everyone was saying they can't stand against Real Madrid but now the reverse seems to be the case.

Crazy results are ongoing this evening.

Inter is winning in an away game and this was kinda predictable due the missing players of the opponent teams.
Arsenal winning by 3-0 is a big surprise.

While winning was a possible outcome, the big margin is a big big surprise.
I think nobody was thinking about a result like this.

The game is not over yet and Real can recover but it will be hard.

[Franctoshi]

Arsenal is really displaying an incredible performance in this game way far more than majority of peoples expectations including me,  what a fantastic freekick display by Rice, this is superb, and total disorganised Madrid midfield and the team as a whole after they conceded the 3rd goal, This is wow!. Is there hope for Real Madrid to go pass this stage looking at a 3- 0 win at the moment,  we will see what will happen at Santiago Banerbeu during their second leg game.

[stompix]

Arsenal is playing well, but they need to switch to a faster game if they want to win. I'm not sure if they are good at that, but around the 70-minute mark, I think the whole gameplay is going to change from Real Madrid.
Also, they seem to be trying the same style repeatedly, which isn't working.

Yup, you got that right, 70 minute


The game changed totally for Real, now they need to score at least 3 goals at home if they don't manage to find the net once at least.
How the hell did I watch the Arsenal game in the first half and then switched to Bayern the second, missing the actual best half in each game?
Eh, nevermind, Inter scored



both favorites for qualifying are in a really bad spot right now, especially Real.

[KingsDen]

Before now, I was being so bold to say that Real Madrid will eliminate Arsenal even in a twinkle of an eye. But I have changed my stance since I saw Saka play against Fulham. Since Bukayo Saka is back, there is great hope for Arsenal. I so much believe the capacity of Saka and I know he could pull surprices even when not expected.

I have known the Champions league and how it works. Team doesn't win CL but individuals do. Saka might decide to pull a surprise that day and that will be it.

I know what I said and I was so confident about it. I have even been saying it al over social media. I told people that Arsenal has a great opportunity because there is no favorite in this season champions league. The favorite was Liverpool but they were eliminated, making everyone have an equal opportunity to win.

While I was pointing at Saka to pull the surprises, I did not know that Rice was planning something special. Although Saka also impacted the game. With the football I watched tonight, I do not think there is an opportunity for Real Madrid in the second leg.
Congratulations to Arsenal.

Who else is having regrets about not betting on Arsenal? The bookies gave us really good odds and we slept on them. Arsenal are winning Real Madrid 3 goals to nil. Arsenal have dominated the game since the beginning, the goals should have been up to five if not for the incredible saves by Courtios. If anyone bet Arsenal to win, I am sure they expect Arsenal to win the game by such a goal margin.

Arsenal have a good day today, while Real Madrid have an ordinary one   It's hard to play when a third of the team is in the infirmary, the players are playing out of position and don't remember how it should be "correctly". This defeat surprised many, but it was visible from afar, the whole season was not optimal and I think at the end of it we will see a new coach. At the moment Real has a chance to miss all the titles they are chasing, not only the Champions League where everything is already over.

I am speechless because I didn't believe what happened. Madrid is out of this competition because they cannot win at home with four goals. This is a big humiliation on Real Madrid and I respect Arsenal because I underestimated them initially. This is a brilliant performance.

Arsenal really deserved to win this match, they can even beat Real Madrid without a pure striker That's because Arsenal's game was really good in this match. If Arsenal's game continues like this, they deserve to win the UCL trophy their game is really different Arteta seems to know how to face Real Madrid.
In this match Real Madrid was really bad, Ancelotti should realize that against a team with a good defense like Arsenal, Real Madrid needs more than just good individuals. Real Madrid needs structure, needs a system, needs a pattern in attacking that is better than this. It can be said that Real Madrid's defeat was due to a lack of ideas, Ancelotti must find it in the second leg otherwise he must leave Real Madrid. Because in football what is needed is not only individual skills, but also systems and tactics. Real Madrid doesn't have that.

[BIT-BENDER]

Arsenal scored three goals, Declan Rice scored two free kicks, Mikel Marino scored a goal and Real Madrid did not score a single goal, this wasn't how many people would have thought this match would end up. In between it was a great match filled with excitement and brilliance especially from Arsenal.
This is beyond the three goals, Arsenal controlled the game from start to finish and were able to keep Vini Jr, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrigo Goes quite.

I knew Bayern Munich is going to mess up they have messed a few times this season, it was easy to predict that they would have a little difficulty with Inter Milan...the most shocking game today is the game between arsenal and Madrid...I can't believe that arsenal could beat them down to a scoreline of 3:0, real Madrid's performance lately has been extremely poor.. congrats to arsenal, if they keep it up they might end up winning the UEFA champions league.

Arsenal deserves it, they outperformed Madrid in the first 45mins, and the three goal margin is best for the gunners to beat Madrid in Bernabeu. Surprisingly Mbappe was in his best form today, but Declan Rice deleted all his hard work. Today is a great day in football, a lot of fans are on the side of Arsenal, now.

[pawel7777]

Two games, two surprises. Both favourites lost tonight. Bayern's loss is minimal so they are still in play, although it might be hard to defeat Inter on their home turf.
Real Madrid is probably already out. I don't see Arsenal wasting a 3-goal advantage even if Real is much more dangerous at home. If the gunners stay focused next week, they will go through to the semi-finals.

Those two free kicks were simply insane and especially the first one just a work of art. Arsenal destroyed Real Madrid and i think that Real Madrid came back from a lot of things but i think they wont be able to comeback from this. Plus they wont have Camavinga and that is a problem aswell

Arsenal scored three goals, Declan Rice scored two free kicks

When last did Declan Rice scored a free kick like that? Two free kicks, Declan Rice turned to Christiano Ronaldo in this game. I didn’t expect a 3 goal lead from Arsenal, Real Madrid could not even respond with a goal. I’m speechless, my entire street is filled with fans celebrating…its a carnival now. It feels as though Arsenal as won the World Cup.
