[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

[sampoerna]

It ended that the Manchester vs Inter match ended with a draw that was an advantage for Inter Milan they could win 1 point at home to Manchester City.

This was a very tight match. Man City was very attacking, only, Inter gave tough resistance. Both really showed the ability of their respective top clubs in their leagues. Both had met before in the 2022/2023 Championa League final, only, Man City came out as the winner at that time. And now, Inter Milan was able to hold Man City to a very good draw.

Actually, there were many missed opportunities by both parties, even when Gundogan almost got his moment, only that was failed again.

But for bettors may not be happy.

I think it is a fair result because Man City and Inter Milan are 2 strong teams. They get 1 point, there are still many chances to get more points. I think it is not a really bad result for both teams. Sure bettors aren't happy because they want Man City to win the match. But the result is a draw. 

PSG won due to an own goal from Girona goalkeeper? I didn't see the replay, maybe in a few minutes I'll know.
Dortmund did a good job in the second half.

Even if PSG wins the match, it is not really satisfying because the goal was made by the mistake of Girona's goalkeeper. PSG made 26 shots, there is 1 goal only. They actually wasted too many shot attempts.

Dortmund successfully won the match after some changes in second half of the match. However, it is a great match for Dortmund. Winning with 3 goals is a good sign for them.

It seems like many will be disappointed if Man City fails to beat Inter Milan in today's match. Because this is a home match for Man City. But they still had difficulty scoring goals in today's match.

Final Score
Man City   0   -   0 Inter Milan

It's draw.
Of course many people disappointed with the result, moreover the one who favorite Man City as the winner. I personally also prefer Man City as the winner of this match, like what happened in the previous match of Champions League. But this time, Man City performance was not that kind of optimal.

What's more annoying is that they can really attack repeatedly, but really it can all be thwarted by Inter Milan, cool though. Moreover, the accuracy of Man City's attacking lines this time is not too optimal. Haaland and his friends really have a hard time this time.

Bayern Munich scoring 9 goals and still nobody voting for them to win this season? Just kidding. I know it's just one game but that shows a lot already and will continue boost their confidence as the tournament progresses. First day of matchday 1 must have been a great start for those who parlay all the big teams (favorites).

In fact, many match results went as expected. because every favorite team seems to have won the match. Only the Man City vs Inter Milan match has ended in a draw so far.

Their Bayern started superbly. But like previous seasons, Bayern are always not favorites at the start but then everyone will start to see Bayern as one of the strongest candidates to win the title when looking at the results of their matches in the UCL. But the problem is that Bayern always fails to reach the final. So it's natural that not many people favor them.

The UEFA Champions League continued today, and the games just ended. From the result of today, it seems so many predictions were right. I got four of my predictions right from the reply I gave yesterday ahead of today's games.

I made some predictions earlier, but here is my new prediction:
Shakhtar Donetsk, Salzburg, Celtic, Dortmund and PSG to win. While City to draw Inter. Let's see how it goes.

Manchester city vs Inter Milan was the game of the night. My guts told me to predict a draw, because I know how things went down the last time in the UCl final. From today's game, city dominated inter, but where not lucky enough to score. Haaland's presence wasn't too felt as inter were defensively strong. I noticed fatigue among the players towards the late minute.of the game, which I think slow down the momentum. And surprisingly, foden didn't start today's game. Maybe his presence in the early hours of the game would have done something, but good job to inter for neutralizing city to an extent. They seem to rely on counter, and do more of the defensive work.

So my final prediction for game day 1:
Leverkusen, Benfica, Arsenal, A.Madrid and Barcelona to win their games. I'm not familiar with Brest and Sturm Graz, so I will give them a draw. I understand that the Atalanta game won't be an easy fixture for the gunners, but I see them going back to the Emirates with all 3 points.

It's a fair result, but not a good result for Manchester City. Manchester City is at home, while Milan is playing away. The tension will be much for Manchester City when they play against Milan at their home because Milan will do their might to have 3 points win against Manchester City. What Manchester City will think of is to defend and have a counterattack against Milan

City looked good in their new shirt but not in the field, What a boring game.
Shocking tactics how can playing slow for 80 and then decide want to speed the game up?
And I don’t know what Pep sees in Grealish that makes him start him all the time, Doku is better on the left wing. Grealish is so fond of making back passes. No incisive passes at all, Doku is way more effective there.

I've just watched the extended highlights of the Real Vs Stuttgart and frankly, despite the result, Stuttgart looked like a better team. They absolutely dominated the first half, they had a lot of great chances to score but were just out of luck.
The second half was more even and it was Real who came on the top, but we have to give Stuttgart a due credit. They played a really good football, dominated in ball possession and created better chances. If they keep playing like this, they could turn out to be a dark horse of this season UCL.

You should know Real Madrid by now, Madrid will never do the playing, they only score and that the most important thing in matches. In recent years especially during this Carlo Ancelloti time, Madrid only win matches for you and that it.

Like your said Stuttgart played well but for them to beat Madrid at Santiago Benebaue will be a dream that is almost impossible but it football Sha anything can happen.

I agree with this. I think their fans like that, but the way they play can get a bit tiring to watch for neutral since it's hard to entertain people just because you score. I don't think things can change much though. Changing the coach doesn't guarantee that will change how they play, not to mention most of their fans want to win a match. It's enough to win trophies including the UCL, but I wish they played entertaining matches more often.

City looked good in their new shirt but not in the field, What a boring game.

Surprisingly, my feeds are full of people complaining about their shirts.

definitely boring match, which I didn't see
however there is some important information to extrapolate
Either Manchester City has lost a little strength, or Inter Milan has gained some to reach the level of Pep Guardiola's team
This information is useful to me for the next bets I want to make

If we look at their previous meeting in the Champions League final, Manchester City could only score 1 goal, from there we can see how Inter Milan's defense also worked well even though they had to lose 1 goal which made them lose.

Well, in this match, Inter Milan can certainly anticipate what Manchester City can do and they managed to implement it well. In my opinion, this draw is beneficial for Inter Milan because they managed to steal points from one of the away games they played.

Inter is the best club currently in Seria A and you don't expect them to be defeated by City again after they have learnt their mistakes from the finals which City won them two seasons ago. It was a good result because none of the clubs conceded any goal but they played very well even though some good chances were loat. Inter goalkeeper is very good ans we saw how many times that he stopped City balls from entering his post. It is quite unbelievable that no goal was scored in this match even with Haaland on the pitch.

Yep. A great start for Inter in their first game in the Champions League Inter played well, they could have hurt City but the Nerazzurri failed to convert the chances into goals.
There is something Inzaghi needs to improve, at least in the final third of the pitch, Inter needs to show the skill and technique they do have in the squad.
And congratulations to Nicolo Barella for the Man of the Match in this match.

Watching the match highlight, Inter Milan looks dominance against Manchester City and success being draw as away match, Henrikh Mkhitaryan have very good opportunity for scoring goal but his shots too high and Inter Milan just getting one away point for UEFA Champion league opening match. Inter Milan have many difficult opponent team will face in Champion League because have to face Arsenal and Bayern Leverkusen are left difficult teams.
But success being draw against Manchester City have chance lead the top eight position place and directly qualify to knock out round if won't playing on play off round anymore.

If not for the fact that Haaland ghosted himself yesterday, Manchester City had more opportunity to be converted than Inter, they did try considering it was a home match to City but they couldn't return the pressure and they forsake defense for attack and that's how they couldn't manage to score a goal yesterday but if Onana were to be in Inter yesterday, the story will be different now.

Neither Inter or Manchester City I think has done well in this match, both teams have a good play in their respective domestic league but just one point, remember that to have a point here is very important to move forward in the Champions League.
