[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

[Bitcoin_people]

All the teams currently in the quarter finals in the uefa champions league are strong. And these matches will be played with the most competition and each team will make a strong attack to advance to the semi-finals. And it is very difficult for all the teams who have drawn the match to reach the semi-final match by winning the match. So every match of Champions League which is going to be held now is going to be interesting.

It's a shame that 2 team that have been anticipated to have a highest chance of winning, Man City and Real Madrid will play against each other in the quarter final. I think many were hoping for these two to meet in the final.
I think, Man City will make it to go through, but it won't be easy, especially given the competition in Premier League is super-tight, with 3 teams having almost the same number of points. Real currently has a comfy 7 points advantage over Girona in LaLiga. If they keep it they would be able to rest their key players before games against Man City.
My picks/guesses for winners of other pairs: PSG, Atletico, Bayern

Damn...This will be the final.  Every year Madrid gets the hardest drawing.
I'm not ready for this match and I hope Don Carlo won’t fuck up on the starting line-up.
But this is an exciting game, A fascinating clash of titans showcasing contrasting styles and philosophies, sparking debates on football strategy and execution.
The beauty of the sport lies in these intricate battles unfolding on the grand stage. Let’s hope for the best...

Little disappointed with the quarter final Champion League drawing match because the most ideal final dreaming between Manchester City vs Real Madrid have been over. Both team will face on quarter final round and the winner will face Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the semifinal round.
I so excited to see Manchester City vs Real Madrid in the final round of Champion League season 2023/24 but both team have face early on quarter final round. Madrid's fans had bad memorize last season defeated by Manchester City on the semifinal round, will the same result for this season or Madrid will success beat Manchester City?

I reeeaally hate it when City and Madrid face each other before finals. In any case, one of the teams that is probably the highest favorites to win it, will not even see semi finals, that feels horrible. In any case, I think its normal for people to be happy about these quarter finalists, its definitely going to be fun to watch without a doubt, and I think its going to mean so much for people when they can take a break and watch some high quality football. Life is already as hard as it is, to take 2 hours or so from your life to watch these games, and relax for just two hours, is an amazing feeling. My only regret is that, each game is not at different times, so we could have watched it all.

Before Manchester City vs Real Madrid is reached, it looks like there are still several matches in other tournaments. If one of these teams does not maintain their performance well then in this match they will lose. I predict that both of them will exert their strength, especially as you have said, Real Last season, Madrid lost to Manchester City, so I am sure that when that match occurs, Real Madrid will use all its best strength to face Manchester City.

The most important thing between Manchester City and Real Madrid is not whether they meet in the finals or not. The most important thing is who wins irrespective of where they meet be it in group match or during the round 16 or and 8. When will just remember that Real Madrid and Manchester City must surely meet in the Champions League it makes our expectation high and Champions League more fun. About two seasons ago the met and it favored Real Madrid, just last season Manchester City mad mess of Real Madrid we are just very anxious of what happens next this time around. I will always enjoy the meeting of the English giant and Spanish giant irrespective of the timing of the meeting it will surely be interesting.

This is are all interesting draws that one can't afford to miss.So many eyes are on the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich,and they think Bayern will end the existence in the Champions league this season,but with Arsenal's form,and with what Bayern 've done to Arsenal in the past,I think Arsenal will  be out to prove doubters wrong,and to show them they are more than capable of winning something great this season.The spirit is there,the team work is there,the unity and love is there,and I think they also have the quality they never had before to be able to challenge for the tittle this season.

It's the beauty of an open draw. You get whatever comes and that includes the strongest teams clashing early in the tournament. Both teams can only hope that their best players will be available in both legs.

If anyone has any problem with the draw, then complain to Jan Obi Mikel

It looks like Barcelona or PSG (whoever wins in their QF match) will have an easier march to the Finals. They will be facing either Atletico or Dortmund.

Updated odds for the outright Champions' League winner:



Man City, the current champion, being the favourite here does not surprise me, but the disproportions between their odds and the odds for other teams seem a bit strange to me. I don't think Man City is that much better than Arsenal or Real Madrid. I'd expect pay-out rates to be much closer to each other.
Placing bet on Real could be a good opportunity. If they somehow manage to get passed the City, it should be smooth sailing from there.
Any thoughts?

For Manchester City, I wasn't surprised, but I was surprised when Real Madrid was behind Arsenal to win the title this season, because in my opinion Real Madrid actually had a bigger chance than Arsenal. But they may have other thoughts about this.

The interesting thing is when Real Madrid will face Manchester City in this round. Whoever wins, in my opinion, they will have a greater chance of winning the title, especially if Manchester City wins.

The odds are looks normal considering Arsenal, Atletico and PSG will play at home in the 1st leg.
And the odds will change depends on the 1st leg result later, but I agree about Mancity - Idk why the bookmaker put Mancity as the heavy favorite while they are playing away in the first leg.
Perhaps they predict Madrid vs Mancity will be a draw or Mancity able to win with a decent score at their home later.

This is are all interesting draws that one can't afford to miss.So many eyes are on the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich,and they think Bayern will end the existence in the Champions league this season,but with Arsenal's form,and with what Bayern 've done to Arsenal in the past,I think Arsenal will  be out to prove doubters wrong,and to show them they are more than capable of winning something great this season.The spirit is there,the team work is there,the unity and love is there,and I think they also have the quality they never had before to be able to challenge for the tittle this season.

The crucial is Arteta’s decision on the lineup.
I have found the inexperience of some players in UCL, especially Saka when against Porto.
And if Trossard was not there then Arsenal won’t be talking about the UCL quarter-final.
BTW. Bayern was chasing Raya, Rice, and Havertz in the summer, but now they are forced to face them in the Champions League.
Get ready for some intense action...

Bayern Munich should be the favorite team to win although Arsenal is in a good form in the last few seasons. Bayern Munich always has a good history in UCL every season although they may fail to win the trophy. With Harry Kane in Bayern Munich squad this season, I think Bayern Munich has the ability to reach the final. Against Arsenal, Harry Kane must know well how to deal with Arsenal defense. Harry Kane was playing in EPL, he must be familiar with Arsenal game style.

One thing I also hope is that Man City will not meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. But in reality the two of them actually had to meet each other in the quarter-finals. I'm also pretty sure Man City will win. Real Madrid they are strong. But sometimes the effectiveness of their attacks decreases. In contrast to Man City, they rarely lose focus in attacking.

As for the other matches, it's still difficult for me to guess. But about PSG I'm not sure they can go further.
