UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

..

In the end Arsenal won with 3 goals, really a lot and i didn't expect Real Madrid to concede so many goals.
Now the return leg is really getting tough, i am not saying that coming back from 3 goals down is impossible but it's definitely a great feat.
I honestly didn't expect it.

I think no one expected Arsenal to win let alone win 3-0 against Real Madrid. I also dont think that Real Madrid can make a comeback but if Arsenal goes into this like we already gone through it might get difficult . Especially if Real Madrid scores in the first 15 minutes of the game.

How do we expect 3-0 aggregate in the first leg of a Champions League match against Real Madrid, the current champions. I think Real Madrid will be regretting right now, seeing how the score ended and fully aware of the double opportunity Mbappe missed within the first half of the game. Real Madrid were opportuned to have the ball closely in front of the goal post, an average strike from Mbappe did fail on two separate occasions, Arsenal had the chance with double close-range free kicks and converted both, which gave them high score and less vulnerable to a comeback in the second leg.

I doubt Real Madrid's comeback, Arsenal's defense remains solid, if not for the free kicks converted by Declan Rice, i don't expect seeing more than a goal coming from Arsenal.

I have talked about this, Madrid is indeed more favored to advance to the next round by beating Arsenal. But Arsenal will not give up easily. They also have a chance and the first leg when they played at home finally proved it. If it was a small advantage of 1 goal, maybe Madrid would with the strength of their champion mentality turn things around in the second leg. But Madrid carelessly let Arsenal score 3 goals in the first leg. Then Madrid's efforts will be even harder in the second leg to be able to turn things around.
Arteta might make a strategy to play more carefully in the second leg later. they are already ahead and they will only maintain it.
The result of Munich vs Inter is also beyond prediction.

Ancelotti's mistake was that Real allowed Arsenal to spend too much time near their goal, so they had the opportunity to earn and score these free kicks, and the third goal was a consequence of Real no longer controlling what was happening on the pitch. Now this is too big a difference, and if Arsenal do not decide to just hold the score in Madrid and try to score more, then Real will be in a dead end. What disappointed me most is that Real could not score a single goal, this would have helped them a lot in the return match, now Arsenal have a very significant advantage, which may well be enough to win the sum of two matches.

It seems like everyone is currently still shocked by the results of yesterday's match where Bayern and Real Madrid, who were the favorites, apparently lost. But don't forget that today we also have two matches that will be equally fierce and interesting. Namely the Barcelona vs Dortmund match and the PSG vs Aston Villa match.

In today's two matches, I think I already have a favorite team, namely Barcelona and PSG. Well, I prefer to favor the home team in today's two matches. Because apart from being hosts, we know that Barcelona and PSG are also quite favorites compared to their opponents, namely Dortmund and Aston Villa.

The results of yesterday's Champions League matches had me thinking about how Real Madrid and Bayern Munich had to lose pitifully against their opponent when most predictions were for them to win.

I really don't think I am going with the idea of having a favorite team in today's matches because the team you predict for a match win may disappoint you in a way you don't expect. However, I am having a double mind of Barcelona and Aston Villa winning their match today.

That said, who could have imagined Real Madrid losing disgracefully with 3 goals without scoring a single goal. Is it in the second leg that they will have a comeback to score against Arsenal that will like to defend their 3- goals winning with their whole might, knowing the Champions League trophy is the only trophy they have at hand to claim this year, and the Premier League trophy is far from their reach.

Every goal from Arsenal was perfect and practically unstoppable. The defense definitely weakened, but those two perfect shots from Rice are truly to be admired. I won’t write off Real because we all know they can turn a game around in 2 minutes, but now they are in a very tough situation, especially being -3 goals down. Will Ancelotti come up with a comeback tactic? We'll see. A goal in the first half for Real could help a lot, so we’ll see in the return leg. As a neutral, i say may the best team win.

[tsaroz]

I have to say that Inter really surprised me, I would never have expected such an exciting match, they always proposed themselves in attack and divided magnificently, now they have to defend the result at San Siro but Bayern are strong so the last word has not been said

Both of Inter Milan and Arsenal created surprising result. After Liverpool being eliminated, everyone thought English team would not have a spot in the semis but Arsenal proved it wrong completely dominating over Real Madrid. But Real Madrid is also famous for changing the results on the 2nd leg. Still can't decide but it would be difficult as Arsenal could go full defensive on next leg.
Inter Milan was more lucky than Bayern and I believe Bayern could overturn the result on next leg. Italian teams have had a bad streak on champions league for years and Inter is too not performing as well on the league.

[Jatiluhung]

it really feels very happy because lately there have been many football matches and of course in a few hours we will watch Dortmund vs Barcelona and of course this match will be a very exciting match because Barcelona, ​​which is currently a strong team in La Liga, will compete seriously to be able to get full points from Dortmund.

Likewise, Dortmund will definitely try to win that match because of course Dortmund also wants to win the trophy in the UCL because last season they failed to win the trophy in the UCL. then the fight that will take place in the match later. but if I seem to favor Barcelona to win the bet in the match later because I see Barcelona players are better than Dortmund. it seems that Nico definitely needs to make their defense strong because Barcelona's front line players will definitely attack Dortmund's defense quickly and strongly. and I hope Flick can train his men to be able to maximize the opportunities available. do you have a good prediction? but on Google I see Barcelona as the favorite and apparently there is great potential for Google's guess to be right.

[Just Say]

My experience proves that this is probably the first time in the history of the Champions League that I have seen Real Madrid defeated in such a way and it was also very commendable that Arsenal scored so perfectly in this match. Despite having so much prestige and so many good players, we saw that Real Madrid could not win against Arsenal.

At this stage it seems that the next match will be even more difficult for Madrid as there is no way they will be able to beat Arsenal. It seems that Real Madrid has become very weak in the knockout stage matches of the UCL at the moment. It is true that many will blame Mbappe for not scoring despite having enough chances in the UCL quarter-final match.

[3meek]

Judging by the way yesterday's games ended, we can expect surprises again today... I think Aston Villa could surprise us... Of course PSG are favourites in this game, but Villa are also playing great in recent EPL matches... I think that both teams should score here... I will not place bets today, but it is very interesting how England will play today... Arsenal managed to surprise, will Villa be able to repeat their success?

My experience proves that this is probably the first time in the history of the Champions League that I have seen Real Madrid defeated in such a way .

Of course, and to be Frank with you I think this is my first time of seeing real madrid been messed up in such a way that they were even craving for just one goal but arsenal didn't even gave them the opportunity. Moreover I think their returning leg will be more difficult than this first leg, because one of thier key player will miss this returning leg because he's still under suspension. Though they might have a good player that can fix in the space, but even as that I don't think if they can be able to defeat arsenal so easily in this thier returning leg.

Arsenal who have never won the Champions League during competing in the Champions League should be able to realize this this season because Arsenal have players who are good at shooting free kicks. But if I look history in the Champions League, Real Madrid is a team that more often makes a comeback in the second leg in the Champions League especially if the second leg takes place at home so that the opposing team like Arsenal does not have to be too happy at this time because they themselves are still not necessarily able to qualify for the next round even though they already have three goals as capital for the second leg later.

[Bitcoin_people]

Today Barcelona vs Dortmund match we can predict Barcelona will win, if Barcelona can win today match then they will be ahead in goals and will have a chance to enter semi finals. Since UCL is a big league every team is strong enough so Dortmund will try to play well enough against Barcelona. But based on current performance Barcelona's attack and defense are very strong so they are favorites to win.

PSG and Aston Villa are the two teams that are expected to win comfortably, although there is a possibility of an attacking game between the two teams, PSG is much ahead in terms of strength. However, as we have seen in UCL games, even strong teams often lose, as PSG defeated Liverpool to enter the quarter-finals. So PSG will be ahead by defeating Aston Villa in today's match, PSG has enough strength to defeat their opponent.

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.

Decline rice really cooked the Real Madrid's goalkeeper with that incredible 2 free kicks, the angle at where he targeted was a very dangerous angle and only few goalkeepers can manage to save such a strike. Indeed Declan Rice humbled the Madrid team and their strength failed them which led to another pressure which gave way to Merino and he scored the third goal. The celebration of Arsenal fans was very loud yesterday, starting from the stadium, the streets and all social media platforms which is to show that they were honored to win a big team like Real Madrid in the quarter final first leg. Literally, that match deserve the celebration it got because Arsenal took it to another level far away from what many were hoping to see.

Of course, and to be Frank with you I think this is my first time of seeing real madrid been messed up in such a way that they were even craving for just one goal but arsenal didn't even gave them the opportunity. Moreover I think their returning leg will be more difficult than this first leg, because one of thier key player will miss this returning leg because he's still under suspension. Though they might have a good player that can fix in the space, but even as that I don't think if they can be able to defeat arsenal so easily in this thier returning leg.

The best Real Madrid might get from that match based on what I saw yesterday is a draw. The game reminds me of the game between PSG and Liverpool when the French club was underrated.  Arsenal was just totally incharge of the game and we saw less input from stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. Even Rodygo was no where to be found in the match. Except Carlo Ancelotti and the players would the extraordinary,  I doubt if they can overtune three goals.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

I will not regret, but I am quite disappointed in the Munich vs Inter match.



As a Madrid fan I already admit that playing away will not give anything good for Madrid. While Arsenal has a great spirit after Liverpool was eliminated from UCL. That's why I bet on Arsenal. But believe me, in the second leg, Madrid will do their best.

congratulations to you on your winnings

What winnings are you congratulating him for? I don’t think he has anything to celebrate, his team(Real Madrid) lost the game and from what I understand he also lost the bet because of the Bayern Munich-Inter Milan result or has the meaning of under 2.5 been changed?

[Polkeins]

To think that only Real Madrid was the only team that never had the opportunity to finish among the top 8 teams in the table, they have to qualify for play off and later comes to the knockout stage where they are now facing Arsenal for the next quest. My mind is telling me that Arsenal will put them in their place because they have not been consistent, but are Arsenal even better? If Arsenal has edge one can depend on it would have been easier to say they can win but they aren't better.

I don't know what to think of Bayern and Inter, the town teams seems to be king on their lane where two are top in their domestic league, they even share similar points and just one game difference of win games in their domestic league. If we want to talk about experience, the two teams has been in the final atleast ones before, it's very tough call to make between these two teams but I'm certain Bayern has an edge of winning in this stage.

I think that Bayern will have an advantage only on their home field, they play the first match at home and should win, but Inter is not a team that will allow itself to be beaten so easily, Inzaghi managed to create a very competitive team that has proven that it is not for nothing that it plays in the playoffs for several seasons in a row.

And by the way, in the match between Real and Arsenal, I am also not sure that these will be easy matches for Real, if Arsenal manages to score quickly, then everything may not go as Ancelotti expects. Arteta has little experience, but he learns quickly, so Real will have to try hard to beat such an Arsenal.

Arsenal vs Real is quite predictable confrontation. We can try to guess that Arteta will try to play attacking football, then Arsenal will concede 3-4 goals from Real and then there will be a meaningless return game, or if Arsenal does not want to play attacking football and try to play from the defense, then still concede, but less, for example, only 2 goals and still lose.
Against such strikers that Real have it is difficult to do something and Arsenal conceded from teams much lower level than Real.
Therefore, unlike the pair Bayern vs Inter in the confrontation between Arsenal and Real I think everything is clear for a long time.

It is not as easy as you are saying it even though Real Madrid has more champions league experience than Arsenal, if you check Real Madrid last two matches you will notice a slack from them and I don't really know what is the course, or will it be the champions league that makes them slack and lose last match. The only hope arsenal have in this season is this champion league and Real Madrid still have hope in the Copa dey Ray they will be playing with Barcelona and so Arsenal will play with all there might to make sure they have a good result so it is going to be a strong one and so lets not jump into conclusion that Real will beat Arsenal.

I honestly can't believe Arsenal could beat Real Madrid 3-0 so badly. I guess I overestimated the strength of Real's attack, because in the Arsenal match I think Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius were more in each other's way on the pitch than helping Real to score and if it wasn't for Courtois' great performance Real would have lost even bigger.

Terrible game of Real and what Ancelotti will do now in the return match is unclear, given that Arsenal can still defend.
Perhaps this is Arsenal's best game of the season, after the game against PSV, when Arsenal managed to score 7 goals.

Judging by the way yesterday's games ended, we can expect surprises again today... I think Aston Villa could surprise us... Of course PSG are favourites in this game, but Villa are also playing great in recent EPL matches... I think that both teams should score here... I will not place bets today, but it is very interesting how England will play today... Arsenal managed to surprise, will Villa be able to repeat their success?

I don't think Aston Villa can give the same surprise as Arsenal did, it's quite difficult for Aston Villa to get 3 points at PSG home ground although I also don't think it's impossible. In terms of betting market opportunities, Aston Villa is given very high odds, if some people bet on them, it takes courage. For me, what is quite comfortable and also has a high winning percentage is a multi bet. This is what I will do to their match, I'm sure Aston Villa can score at least one goal.

Games of the day.

Barcelona and Aston Villa winning?
My prediction is out.

What do you think?

[ILuckyGuyI]

Last night was really shaky. Real Madrid are no longer a winner club. They were just terrible from the start...  Good work by Inter! I've been supporting them to advance to next round already. But winning in Germany? That's even better than I thought!

But for tonight, I'm done with surprises. Not expecting Barcelona or PSG to mess up. They should be able to get comfortable wins. 

For the matches happening, you can already have some bets that you can take here.

Thank god I didn't place my money on any of the bets I said.    Real Madrid were like shit for the whole game. Okay, you have a bad defending and so. But can't you even score with those players worth more than half a billion dollars?

Perhaps this is Arsenal's best game of the season, after the game against PSV, when Arsenal managed to score 7 goals.

Courtois made some great saves and helped Real Madrid avoid conceded goals in the first half but it's a match for Declan Rice. He scored two fantastic goals from free kicks and Courtois is a victim unavoidably. No goalkeeper can make a save against those outstanding freekicks and Real Madrid lost this match not only because of those free kicks from Declan Rice.

Their attacking players had a very bad match and both Mbappe, Vinicius, Jude Bellingham nearly disapeared in this match. They must wake up to perform better in the second leg, because with the very big advantage and increasing confidence, Arsenal will not easily be beaten in Bernabeu stadium in the second leg.

Even Rodygo was no where to be found in the match. Except Carlo Ancelotti and the players would the extraordinary,  I doubt if they can overtune three goals.

Real Madrid's overall performance was not good in this match. I am not satisfied with Real Madrid's performance at least. Madrid's defense is weak. I have no complaints about it. But we do not see good performance from Madrid's attacking players in this match. Despite having star players like Mbappe, Vini, ROdrygo and Bellingham, Madrid's attacking team could not play well in this match. Real Madrid could not score a single goal after conceding three goals.

We know that Madrid is strong in home matches. Real Madrid may win in home matches. However, Real Madrid will not be able to win against Arsenal with a 4-0 margin. We have seen Arsenal's strong defense in the Champions League platform.
