2024-25 UEFA Champions League

Very interesting semifinals. Couldn't tell who is favorite now.

Barcelona is likely the favorite at this point. It's a toss-up between Arsenal and PSG to reach the final.

Arsenal vs. Barcelona would be nice, rematch of the 2006 final when Jens Lehmann got the red card.

had a dream we get revenge

martinelli in behind their high line and their GK gets sent off

[KG Leonard]

What a game by Odegaard by the way.
Completely controls the game.

He was the master of the game, so bold how he moved the ball around Madrid defenders, midfield like they weren't there. Second half specially , Saka's goal was mostly his movement. It seems he is himself again when he has Saka beside him.

[Young Stapler]

90 minutes at the Bernabéu is a long time

[Young Stapler]

Thuram must be mentioned. He's been excellent for Inter.

[Young Stapler]

Merino assisted in both Arsenal goals and they were lovely weighted passes. Odegaard in the 2nd half was brilliant. Saliba is a beast despite the mistake. I wish we had Gabriel

With Ancelotti expected to leave, are we thinking Alonso will leave Bayer to manage Los Blancos?

Just read that Perez wants Klopp. But Klopp would make a fool of himself after he said he doesn't want to be a coach again. Xabi probably the most likely candidate, although he had a few games with dubious decisions this season.

If Xabi leaves, this could also have consequences for Wirtz' future in Leverkusen.

I love Klopp always but uh, going back on his statement to coach Madrid can't look more foolish than being the face of Red Bull's evil sporting empire.

Big big day tomorrow man , annoyed that idiot Partey got himself suspended in the final minutes vs Madrid smh. Bit worried that he isn't playing

Anyone see Arteta's plea to the fans?

And then apparently, those fans were pretty subdued tonight against PSG.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game yesterday as a neutral. Intense match.
looking forward to another good one today

[The_Brecht]

In this game and the games against Liverpool Donnaruma finally showed why he's considerd such a great goalkeeper.
Unlucky not to get a draw in the end, but the first 30 minutes PSG were all over Arsenal.

No shame in losing against that team when they play like that.
But anything still is possible.

What game were you watching? If you want to say that, I can just as easily say the result should have been 0-3 to PSG. PSG were the better team, and deservedly, are leading.

You're correct, though, anything can happen in the second leg, especially if Arsenal grab the first goal.

Brilliant game between Barca and Inter. Yamal is really something else.

[El Turco]

Is there any doubt that Yamal is the best teenager ever? Going from Messi to this is unfair.

Rooney was an absolute menace as a teenager too, off the top of my head, but Yamal is levels clear.

[El Turco]

Barcelona really struggles with set pieces, Arsenal unlucky not to play them


Woof then Barcelona scores one off a corner too, what a beauty.

[Baphomet]

Unreal scenes, what a game

[El Turco]

They are going to build a Dumfries statue outside of San Siro if this counts

[magik9113]

Game of the year?

Game of the year?

Overall this has been the best CL campaign of recent years, particularly the knockout stages. I dont know if it has anything to do with the new format.
