UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Jostern]

With the surprising results we seen today, what do you think about the rest match? will Dortmund and Aston Villa win this match?

In their previous, Barcelona can't beat Real Betis in their home and PSG only score one goal against Angers in their home, Angers is a weak team in Ligue 1. It would be a huge upsets, I can't imagine Barcelona who have undefeated record and PSG who beat Liverpool can lose against such kind opponents.

Right now someone would not know what to expect in the games anymore, Because the Champions League is full of Surprises, But on paper Barcelona should be beating Dortmund, PSG already won the League 1, which we know they will always win the League 1, PSG also playing Aston Villa on paper you will always expect PSG to win the game, But like we all know you cannot write off Aston Villa like we all did write off Arsenal against Real Madrid

Todays games would be exciting as well,

That's very obvious Dortmund and Aston Villa will lose together. They have no chance to fight their opponent, and considering how big their odds in the first leg. They probably lose with decent agg against their opponent. I'm dumb enough if i bet on them because they obviously losing the game.  

i can't really use Barcelona and PSG games in the domestic league as benchmark to determine their performance in UCL. The big clubs often performed differently in UCL. I have no feel they will lose against easy opponents like that.

They can take good agg from their away game.

Declan Rice showed people the wonders of football last night.

Last night was an unforgettable night for Declan Rice. He scored 2 wonderful, perfect free-kicks and made history.
Arsenal won the match 3-0. Real Madrid will probably be eliminated.

Declan Rice is only the fourth player in history to score two direct free-kicks in the same Champions League game:

- Declan Rice
- Rivaldo
- Neymar
- Cristiano Ronaldo

This win from arsenal came as a big surprise to me they didn't just win they won very well with three goals I'm very happy for them even though my slip cut because of there win I predicted real Madrid to win, I think this is the end of the road for real Madrid in the champions League this season there's no way they will be able to defeat Arsenal in there next match and Even if they do the goal margin will not be more than one or two so Arsenal will qualify for the next round and real Madrid will go home, I think they will focus more on la Liga if they go back home but I still don't think winning the la Liga will be easy for them because Barcelona is still topping the la Liga table.
The problem with real Madrid in that match was that they where not working as a team and arsenal took the advantage to score them very well and arsenal winning them 3:0 is a very good one because with this number of goal arsenal has secured a qualification, I didn't even see mbappe performing very well in that match real Madrid really need to start working as a team if they really want to get a trophy this season.
Good luck to the both team in there next leg.

Stranger things have happened at the Bernabéu...For three consecutive games, Madrid played very badly and slowly. Vini and Mbape are both selfish to each other...Madrid gonna lose even in Bernabeu.
I don't talk like I know about coaching, but I feel Real Madrid’s players are like movie stars — top-class actors- but their roles are poorly distributed. Don Carlo makes some mistakes, but we all know what the team needs right now. That’s exactly the case with head coach Ancelotti. IMHO

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.

The second half, all changed and Arsenal appeared crazy. Arsenal's Shots Inside Box in the first round is more than Real Madrid even though not a single goal was created.
As we expected that Arsenal really played a good game, especially his midfielders to make the flow of Real Madrid attacks not run perfectly. Vinicius Junior can't do much. But I salute Courtois.

Shots Inside Box and Shots Outside Box, Arsenal won, not Real Madrid. Only Kylan Mbappe did it which almost became a goal for Real Madrid.
And as we have witnessed until the match is finished, Arsenal did show that Real Madrid could not do much like in the Champions League this season.

[Cryptmuster]

Perfect performance by Arsenal and yet another mediocre match for Real Madrid. This season is destined to be a failure for the Spanish team, despite Madrid having a small chance to win La Liga. It's obvious that something is missing in their team. Maybe they need new midfielders or a new central striker. Mbappe can't turn into the goal machine everyone was expecting. Maybe Ancelotti is totally wasted as a manager of this great team. Arsenal and PSG are my favorites for winning the UEFA champions League. I can't imagine Bayern or Barcelona being able to beat Arsenal or PSG at the semi-finals or at the final.

Ancelotti made a mistake when he decided to play defensively, he should have played a more equal game with Arsenal, but in this way Arsenal got a lot of space. I was also surprised that Real couldn't score, they had good attacks but Raya played great. And of course it's worth mentioning Raya who scored two incredibly beautiful goals, it was his evening, after that Real couldn't do anything, and they still managed to concede a third goal. Now it will be very difficult to correct this situation at home.

Brilliant performance from the Arsenal side. his is the best I have seen Arsenal this season. I’m happy for Arsenal but I wouldn’t celebrate too soon, Real Madrid are not a team to say that it's over for them, there's still the second leg to be played at Santiago Bernabeu. Anything can happen.

Sincerely this is the best I have seen Arsenal performed every since I have been watching Arsenal since Arteta took over. I really underestimated Arsenal, and they beat my expectations. I never saw 3:0 coming against Real Madrid. The second half was the worst performance I seen real Madrid played in a long time. As I was watching the match, I was thinking if this was really the real Madrid team that has been winning champions league in years. Like nothing was working for the team, they were not showing up. Arsenal locked everywhere. Arsenal beat my expectations yesterday, I was really against them and I was disgraced. I didn't even know when I started clapping for Arsenal after Merino scored that third goal.

[ajanwalker]

Real Madrid found effective attacks when the match was 0-0, but either they couldn't make the last pass well or the goal kick was not good, the goalkeeper saved the shots.
Arsenal also found very effective attacks but couldn't get past Courtois in the first half.

In the 58th minute, Declan Rice scored the best first goal of his career and reminded us of Roberto Carlos.
The second goal was another career goal for Rice, this time reminding us of David Beckham.
Rice will never forget last night. He played great football.
Merino scored the third goal and the score ended 3-0.
Arsenal took the advantage but we can't say they passed the round because their opponent is Real Madrid. They will play Real Alaves this weekend, I will bet on Alaves winning that match.

I think you meant to say Rice and not Raya cause Raya is Arsenal's goalkeeper, anyways you're right, Declan Rice was very outstanding his freekick goals were spectacular and he merited all the praises he's receiving from the outcome of the match, I'm really shocked that despite lacking a quality attackers Arsenal outplayed a scary Realmadrid squad and scored 3 goals without any reply, they did great and I'll also acknowledge Mikel Arteta cause he's the brain behind their success in the Champions league so far in this season.

I think Ancelotti is right, football has it's own magic moments and anything is possible, but the Madrid players have to be very optimistic about winning in the 2nd leg, they showed lots of weakness and Arsenal seized that opportunity, that's the price a team pays for giving their opponent a weak spot to prey on, this defeat would teach them a lesson, I can't wait to see the magic they want to do in the 2nd leg.

The best arsenal performance under arteta indeed because I personally doubted arsenal ability in winning This match prior before the game started arsenal has proven me wrong with their performance this is the way to go about it for arsenal because they are going to win any trophy this season, scoring three goals against a Madrid sides is not something that comes easy but for madrid it shows that they are really struggling badly and going into the second leg of this game it will be difficult for madrid to qualify because scoring cancelling out three goals will not be an easy tasks

Real Madrid did it well in the first half, but they get a disaster after Rice scored two goals from his free kicks. These two goals are greatly affecting their mentality as the pressure they received getting harder. Things worsen when they have no good defense to prevent their opponent to attack.

They might be conceded more than 4 goals if Curtois was not on fire. I saw how he blocked so many shoots came from Arsenal, and keep doing it till the end. They almost have no chance to comeback, and let's see what kind of change Ancelotti does for the 2nd leg.
If they still perform with almost similar squad for the 2nd leg, better they to give up. I see how they didn't even try to turn things around by subbed in their young lads, who may able to create change.

[Velvet78]

This time it didn't happen... Real Madrid lost their winner mentality for the first time. Arsenal didn't even let them play man. Incredible effort! And Rice... Just what were those free-kicks?? I was going to lose my mind.  

Another surprise to me was seeing Inter beating Bayern Munich away. I was expecting Inzaghi to win the duel on aggregate but this was way extra work. Now I think Real Madrid aren't making a comeback from this. It seems too difficult while they are screwed in defense.

Inter would also advance by keeping things under control home I assume.

There outplay in that match was extremely morethan expected, yes you're right, depending on only one man to do magic becomes a joke of the century but, the truth is Real Madrid manager needs to get the team working very well by adding extra new striker just as you said and a defensive midfielder, I have to say that the gunners were determined to win that match, it has been awhile I see arsenal play football with such zeal, arsenal scoring 3goals in that match before realmadrid got a red card in the die minute is a sign that they were actually prepared for that match, statically arsenal had 11shots on target against Realmadrid that got just 2, Declan Rice was the man that rapped it all, what a good free kicks.
For me Carlo anceloti is a good manager but he got works to do urgently, mate arsenal did great in that match but we wouldn't no what will become of them if they eventually meet Barcelona, I don't want to say anything about Bayern because it seems they are a bit confused but let's see what they got in the next match, though PSG and Arsenal looks very promising in the UEFA champions League presently, however, the end will determine.

Arsenal know what they are doing, the strategy they are implementing is working very well, on the other hand Real Madrid seems confused in their strategy so that it really backfires on them in this match.

Previously I said betting on both teams to score is a good choice, but it turned out to be wrong because Real Madrid could not do much in this match and in the end they had to return to Spain with disappointment. they brought home a very tough job for the second leg later, because they have to chase an aggregate of 3 goals.

This is an unpleasant result for Real Madrid, because they had to lose with a big score with a game that was not so good either. Looking at their game, they deserved to lose in this match, it seems like Arsenal managed to take advantage of the weaknesses that Real Madrid now has.
But I hope this doesn't bring down their mentality in the second leg later, because even though it's difficult, they still have a chance, even though it's very small. On the other hand, Arsenal also shouldn't be satisfied with what they got in this match, they have to focus on the second leg later

the representative of serie a currently in UCL is only one, namely Inter and they played very well today against Bayern and of course this match was a very exciting match because both teams were equally ambitious to win but really in this match Bayern finally had to lose because the point is Bayern was not optimal in taking advantage of opportunities which of course was different from Inter who could take advantage of opportunities well. which finally this match was won by Inter with a score of 1-2.

Martinez and Frattesi certainly scored good goals which finally made the match won by Inter and of course Bayern as the host must be sad about this incident. of course I am sure that the 2nd leg will be more exciting and of course Inter must also be careful because of course in that match Bayern will be more dangerous because in the 1st leg we have also seen that Bayern's attacks cannot be underestimated.

Nice results for inter Milan going to the alinze arena of all places to get this result is something that should be commended but personally speaking I was not surprised about this result because bayern munich has not been convincing and that fantastic even in the bundesliga because watching them you will see that bayern is missing out on quality this is not the bayern that we have known because they struggle to get results against even small teams yes it's true that they are winning but am not quite convinced about their play pattern, bayern missed alot of chances in the game but for inter Milan they came and executed what they have in mind so they have eyes on the semi finals because going home in the second leg they will be more relaxed in the second leg

This is bad, I didn't expect it to be like this. Munich was really unable to make good use of the opportunity. They controlled the game but their finishing was poor. I don't even put Inter on the championship this season. But the result of this match made it quite difficult for me. Inter looked more effective even though they had to work hard and put a lot of players in their own area. They give effectiveness to football by winning without having a lot of ball. This condition benefits Inter because they will play at home leg 2 later. Munich's chances are small but I think Munich still have hope of winning in Italy.

They don't just need to chase 3 goals now, it's important for them not to concede any goals, because 3 goals looks realistic, even considering that Arsenal are proving to be a very difficult opponent for them, but if Arsenal take the lead in the first half again, Real Madrid probably can't do anything and will say goodbye to the Champions League this time and Arsenal will go on to the semi-finals

Before the start of this game I was very confident in the abilities of inter Milan, I never saw it as an easy game for Bayern Munich because inter Milan is actually a force in European football Currently, so am not that surprised by the final outcome of this game because Bayern Munich was just doing much of the playing but their attack was really wasteful, and we all know that in football the most important statistics in a game is the number of goals scored, though I may be wrong, but if Bayern Munich remain as wasteful as they are in the second leg of this encounter, they will be going home, because they defense is not that good enough that inter Milan wouldn't have a goal again.
I am certain that inter Milan will still score them again in the reverse fixture because their defense is very porous when compared to that of inter Milan, but nothing should be ruled out completely because anything can still happen, but as at now, I see more of inter Milan progressing than Bayern Munich progressing to the next round of the competition.
