UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[bastisisca]

Luis Enrique manages the team very well not relying on one or two players but playing as a team and that's what he is implementing right now, Bracola, Dembele, Hakimi are currently a scary specter in the team and their newest player Kvaratskhelia is adapting quickly besides that the defense is very solid this is all thanks to the cool hands of the coach, I initially did not think that PSG would go far in the UCL but it seems that this season they can achieve what the fans expect especially after being able to eliminate Liverpool in the previous phase which indicates that they are indeed ready to lift the UCL title.

I always say that in these stages of the Champions League i don't bet, and obviously i don't do it to get a +1, i say it because you also have to be careful.
Whoever has reached this point has done so on merit, and figuring out who can win becomes very, very difficult. If not impossible

PSG is all over Aston Villa like a bad rash, with some brilliant goals, but that doesn't mean Villa don't have a chance. There is still a second leg.
However, I agree that PSG is in great form at the moment.
Ousmane Dembélé created nine chances against Aston Villa - The most on record (since 2003-04) in a UEFA Champions League match for PSG.
And Marquinhos makes his return to the squad following his suspension.
So, Emery must find a different approach in the second leg, or Villa's chance will be over.

Aston Villa's chances are very small, they are already behind Agg 2 goals and also overall PSG's strength is slightly better than Aston Villa so I don't think Aston Villa has the possibility to turn things around in the second leg even though they will play at home.
I see now PSG is a team that should be considered to win the Champion League title this season after they were able to beat Liverpool in the previous round which has made the mentality and confidence of PSG players increase drastically.

After I look back it seems like PSG will be a fairly strong obstacle in the champions league, Aston Villa will have a very hard time in the second leg match, first because Luis Enrique will definitely prioritize maintaining their victory in the first leg, therefore a defensive strategy in the second leg is the key to their victory to qualify for the next round.

A defensive scheme relying on a 0-0 score is enough for PSG to qualify, but I think maybe they won't do that, but more defensive but still carrying out optimal attacks.

Luis Enrique doesn't look like the type of guy that tries to defend the result, I'm pretty confident he's simply going to play the game just like any other match, maybe focusing a little more on counterattacks since at the end Aston Villa are supposed to control the game. It's going to be interesting but I'm confident PSG will reach the semifinal.

Well I wouldn't lie, if this game was ought to be play in another time or previous season backwards when PSG form wasn't this good currently then I would have given Aston villa a chance to actually maybe secure a win but with this current PSG team are no way near comprehension and I believe the team for now that can actually match their energy is Barcelona FC because even the now champions can't beat them.

Tonight the big stage of the Champions League returns! Tonight we will know who the first two semi-finalists will be between Aston Villa - PSG and Borussia Dortmund - Barcelona.
I have already placed my bets!!!
What do you think?

For the predictions on the Aston Villa vs PSG, Inter vs Munich and Madrid vs Arsenal matches, I completely agree with your predictions. But a little bit worrying about your prediction on Dortmund vs Barcelona match.

I have an assumption that if the aggregate score of Dortmund and Barcelona is too far apart and if Dortmund wins the match, Barcelona can still qualify for the semi finals.
So in Dortmund vs Barcelona match, I prefer BTTS. Because both teams will definitely score even though Barcelona loses, but still has a higher aggregate score to advance to the next round.

Aston Villa chances of turning things around are very low, basically they are not favored to advance to the semifinals, besides PSG is currently at the peak of its best performance. From the odds displayed, we can see that PSG is also more favored in the second leg even though Aston Villa is acting as the host. Luis Enrique just needs to instruct his players to play it safe, without having to force to win the match. I agree with you, PSG is indeed worthy of being included in the list of candidates for the Champions League this season.

[Velvet78]

Currently the teams I believe in to advance:

- PSG
- Barcelona
- Inter
- Arsenal

Barcelona and PSG already finished the job obviously. Therefore I even think it would be risky to bet on both of their wins again. Maybe we would see draws...

I don't think Inter will lose their advantage at home. Lastly I'm on Arsenal's side after watching the first leg. Real Madrid don't seem like the same winner team I know. 

[AirtelBuzz]

Let's all tell the truth and say that Aston Villa's chances are very low. Because Aston Villa is not a stronger team than Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain, who played magnificently against Liverpool, played magnificently against Aston Villa in a similar way. The fate of both English teams was similar. Paris Saint-Germain will probably be the team that will advance to the next round in the return match. I think Aston Villa should be proud of even coming this far. Because it is not easy to reach the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

In this case we all have to be honest and say that Aston Villa's chances are very slim. Because this team may never be stronger than Liverpool in the English Premier League, everyone may have noticed that Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League after losing to Paris Saint-Germain.

Likewise it goes without saying at this stage that another English Premier League team will be forced to exit the Champions League quarter-finals. At this stage it seems to me that the main enemy for both teams in the English Premier League is the French club PSG. Perhaps in the return match we will also see that PSG has won.

Interesting with the betting odds shown not only this match, other matches like it have good odds because this is their determinant to advance to the semifinals.

I actually doubt Aston Villa despite playing at home, but we don't know how Unai's strategy he is usually quite good at European tournaments but in the first leg it was quite difficult and now in the second leg they will try hard to win with a strong challenger.

Home game for Villa won't change a lot. They are nothing compared to the PSG. They were so lucky by only conceded three goals, it could be more than 5 goals consider PSG created more than 6 big chances. They might take PSG's last year result against newcastle as something to motivated them, but it won't work.
There's huge gap betwee last year PSG and the current PSG. They have solved everything wrong last year, and comeback stronger this year.

I will obviously take PSG as rather than them as my bet. I have no expectation for them in this game. Only hope lads come up with their best performance to fight PSG. They have more burden to start then game with 2-0 down. Not good aggregates to start with.
lemme guess PSG win 3-0 in the second leg.

Despite the fact that the match will be played at the Villa Park, I don’t expect Aston Villa to eliminate PSG. I am not underrating them but the force PSG is using in their Champions League is much, they are feeling like this is their season to win the Champions League because Luis Enrique is doing really well with his players as they have already secured the League1 title for this season, their main focus is now in the Champions League, therefore, for them to eliminate Liverpool and to win Aston Villa 3-1 at home, I think they can still win Aston Villa in the second Leg because they are now seeing themselves in the semifinal waiting for either Arsenal or Real Madrid.

But what are you guys seeing about this season’s Champions League?
Who will actually be the winner? Because I am not expecting Real Madrid to defeat or eliminate Arsenal in this quarterfinal, and if Arsenal qualified, they will play against PSG, and both of them are willing to win the competition because they never win the Champions League before now, what are your predictions?

The odds is high though and I understand why.

PSG don't need win in the second leg even though they have a very good performance, that's why their odds reach @2.00, if i was just one match, PSG should be have lower than @1.50 even they played away.

It's quite risky I think, Aston Villa isn't that bad you know.

I agree with you, PSG has a better experience in the champions League and they took the advantage when they played at home as they scored 3:1 against Aston Villa. Coming to the home ground of Aston Villa PSG in their recent good performance knows that Aston Villa will try to score early goals so they can turn things around but I don't think that will be possible because the form of PSG at the moment will help them defeat Aston Villa again because PSG is better than them this season and their performance will definitely help them to qualify ahead of Aston Villa.

This is not a matter of aggregate against Aston Villa because even if Aston Villa aggregate was 3 ahead PSG there higher way of losing is not eradicated, we cannot forget whom they are up against and apart from PSG having the aggregate against them they are also profoundly astonished, there is gap between a learner and already learned person because there definition of knowledge are not of equal height so I use Aston Villa as not to be of PSG heights, already nothing is stopping PSG now so tomorrow they would have there match and increase the aggregate by sending Aston Villa out. For now my thoughts on PSG for champions League wining is of significantly lower because is not about surviving were opponent are weak but is about contending to champions.

If Aston Villa had drawn or won that match maybe there would be chances of qualifying since PSG would be visiting England for their return leg tomorrow but then they're 2 goals behind one of the most inform team that's remaining in the Champions League and I don't think they'll qualify, even though PSG are visiting their home which gives Villa more advantage I don't think they'll score PSG up to 3 or 4 goals without any reply, PSG would still go to Villa's home ground and win cause they've got a better squad, a good coach with lots of Champions League experience and more players that have experienced champions league football compared to Aston Villa I don't see Villa as a treat to PSG infact they're the weakest team that's remaining in this tournament currently and the time they have left to stay in the Champions League is very slim, except some football miracle happens.

If we talk about opportunities for Aston Villa I think they still have a chance, even the percentage reaches 40% in my opinion. We know how Premier League teams play especially when playing at home and they are used to playing against strong teams so I think 2 goals is not something impossible. Based on level PSG is indeed much better but sometimes surprises can happen, there are many factors like red cards or player injury in the early minutes. Previously Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich well they need to build the same spirit play without burden.

Sportsbooks have also displayed betting odds like the screenshot below, we can see the difference between Aston Villa and PSG in terms of favorites not too flashy. The main target for Aston Villa is not to concede so they can play according to strategy without any burden and so far Aston Villa have a good defense when playing at home, also in the top 4 teams with the lowest conceded in the Champions League.

It’s going to be difficult for Aston villa to score two goals with PSG scoring any goal, it’s going to be difficult for Aston villa to send PSG out of the champions league, PSG is already ahead of them, and PSG will do everything possible to get a win in the match, and as we can see PSG plays better than Aston villa, am not even expecting Aston villa to get a win even in the second leg of the match, I feel PSG are still going to win the second leg of the match.

Liverpool were sent out of the champions league by PSG, I was surprised because Liverpool is also a strong club, I never expected them to lose to PSG, but PSG played a mature game in the match, and they were able to secure a win.

When you say PSG strength is slightly better than that of Aston Villa, I see it as undermining and underaating PSG. I'm not talking of other seasons but this present season, Aston Villa is like a baby's strength compared to that of an adult. PSG is way stronger in all ramifications than Aston villa this season. You're actually correct on what you said but I just wanted to correct that impression on PSG being slightly stronger.

The problem is that PSG are in their best condition and performance at the moment. So it feels like Aston Villa will have difficulty turning things around because, well, an aggregate of 2 goals is still quite a large number. PSG is actually a little unexpected this season. Or we could say PSG exceeded expectations this season. They are able to become a very strong team this season. And maybe it's time for PSG to achieve success in the Champions League. Because so far PSG has never won a UCL title. And it would be an extraordinary achievement for this team if they succeed this season.

And Arsenal is also in the same condition. They played better than expected. And we know that it seems Arsenal have never won a title in the UCL. So this season Arsenal will definitely focus more on the Champions League and try to win the title for the first time.
