Congratulations to:
Barcelona
Inter Milan
PSG
Arsenal

as the clubs that finally advanced to the 2025 UCL Semi Finals. Yes, as predicted based on the results of the first leg. and in the end, Real Madrid was eliminated miserably because even in the second leg, they lost to Arsenal.

[Gurujebs]

I'm afraid that the fight back we thought Real Madrid will have against Arsenal has not been so because they have not score any goals, if they had come with a serious fight back by now they would have been winning 1 or 2 goals by now, is almost the end of the first half and there hasn't been any goal, so Arsenal is very happy because all they need as the second half is starting is to to only defend as they are currently doing and they will sent out real Madrid. Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are also playing goalless now.

This is why when you are making bet for Real Madrid in a situation when they want to make come back, make sure it is against them. I saw sweet 4 off for Arsenal that I would have use to make good money this night but because I expected Real Madrid to try hard and win today's match even though they might not equalized all the goals but I was wrong. I lost money tonight.

It will be sad though that Real Madrid will not be having Laliga and wouldn't be having Champions League, in fact I love the Way Arsenal has exposed the fraud club, they are just good in making noises, nothing to show.

I think it is time for Real Madrid to say good bye for UCL. There is no enough time to equalize the aggregate. It is almost 90 minute, Real Madrid only could score 1 goal. Meanwhile Arsenal scored again 1 goal. It means Arsenal is leading with 3 goals difference. Well, it is quite disappointed to see Real Madrid eliminated in this phase.

For the match Inter vs Bayern Munich, it seems Inter will go to the next round. The match will be over very soon, Inter is leading with 1 goal difference.

Arsenal ended up defeating Real Madrid home and away, maybe winning today at the Santiago Bernabeu wasn't what I foresaw for Arsenal tonight but I must commend Arsenal's resilience and character throughout the entire game, they didn't succumb to any form of pressure and played like they were the favorites or at least equals not the underdogs. It was a well deserved spot in the semifinal for them, even though another tough task awaits.

Those 4 teams have been qualified to semi-final. We will have the next matches (Arsenal vs PSG, Barcelona vs Inter Milan). Yes, Real Madrid is defeated by Arsenal, they can't continue to expect the next UCL title. So Mbappe fails to win UCL this season. I assume PSG may reach the final and they are possible to win UCL title. If this comes true, I think Mbappe may feel a bit regretful with his decision to move to Real Madrid. 

Anyway which team do you think to go to the final round? I predict that we will have Barcelona vs PSG in the final round.

Yes, I would also say the same thing to those who made it to the Champions League semifinals this season.

This will be a more interesting competition, they will be more focused on what they want in this Champions League. But of all the remaining teams, Barcelona is my main favorite to become champions. Of course that is not a guarantee, because it could be that from the existing teams, the team that is considered to have the smallest chance will become champions.

I thought that Arsenal would defend completely at the Bernabeu but they were still able to score 2 goals even though the whole game was pressured by Real Madrid but the defense remained strong difficult to penetrate.
It's a great success for Arteta to beat a big team like Real Madrid.
It's time for Arsenal to move on, they might prove themselves in the semi-finals.

Arteta can now be proud because he has succeeded in building Arsenal to a level that can even beat Real Madrid in the UCL and I think the way Arsenal can qualify for the next stage is really very convincing. Namely, Arsenal seems to be able to qualify for the semi-finals quite easily. Because in reality Real Madrid could not provide strong enough resistance in their efforts to penetrate Arsenal's defense in the UCL this time. Seeing Arsenal qualify with a sizable aggregate advantage of 1-5 was truly surprising, actually. Because in the second leg, I personally even predicted that Arsenal would lose and Real Madrid would win, even though Real Madrid would still not qualify. But Arsenal exceeded what was expected of them in that match.

Yeah, I quite honestly also didn’t expect Arsenal to be as sharp on the offensive end like the were, you’d expect them to be more focused on defending but that wasn’t the case, they kept attacking when they had their own opportunities as well.

PSG is going to be a completely different affair, but with the character Arsenal showed against Real Madrid, I really do like their chances.

[alltalk]

Bruuhh Real Madrid lost in the end how Arteta felt overthrowing the big team and did not expect a sizable aggregate score of up to 5-1 because at the time of this match Arsenal won back 2-1 over Madrid.

The second match was Inter Milan who qualified on a slim aggregate.
The Serie A representatives are really strong now and they will meet Barcelona again.

Arteta understands how to beat Real Madrid. He may already learn the weakness of Real Madrid defense and attacking line. It is quite surprising that Arsenal could beat with big aggregate although Arsenal played with no all key players. There were some key players who still got injured.

Yep, Inter Milan will face Barcelona. It is surely more difficult team, I'm not really sure that Inter Milan has a chance to defeat Barcelona.

Arsenal ended up defeating Real Madrid home and away, maybe winning today at the Santiago Bernabeu wasn't what I foresaw for Arsenal tonight but I must commend Arsenal's resilience and character throughout the entire game, they didn't succumb to any form of pressure and played like they were the favorites or at least equals not the underdogs.

True, Arsenal won the match both in their home and in Real Madrid home. Arsenal really showed that they are better than Real Madrid. Sure, Arsenal deserves to reach the semi-final round. Then, they will face PSG, Arsenal actually has a good chance to qualify for the final round. However, PSG isn't an easy team to be defeated, they looked stronger in this season in UCL.

A little update on the odds for the semi-finals (by BC.Game):

Arsenal: x2.08
Draw: x3.50
PSG: x3.45
To qualify:
Arsenal: x2.00; PSG: x1.77

Barcelona: x1.67
Draw: x4.1
Inter: x4.7
To qualify:
Barcelona: x1.54; Inter: x2.43

Outright odds for the Champions League winner:
Barcelona: x3.1
PSG: x3.3
Arsenal: x3.6
Inter: x5.6

I'm a little bit surprised to see PSG as a favourite to qualify, I expected Arsenal to be the slight favourite. As such, I think a bet on Arsenal to go through could be worth considering.

Barcelona is a strong candidate to advance to the UCL final this time, if you look at how they have performed throughout this season. Quite promising, if they don't make a fatal mistake, then I'm sure Barcelona will also be able to beat Inter Milan.

for Arsenal vs PSG, well, this is quite difficult to predict. Arsenal is currently quite strong, especially with Saka's return. However, on the other hand, PSG is also very enthusiastic about pursuing the UCK title this time, with their front line which is also strong and consistent at this time. But for me, I want to support Arsenal.

[Rruchi man]

PSG is going to be a completely different affair, but with the character Arsenal showed against Real Madrid, I really do like their chances.

The good thing for Arsenal is that they are going to be starting first at the Emirates; they will have the opportunity to put themselves in a place of advantage before the second leg in Paris, like they did to Real Madrid before the second leg.

I expect more competition for Arsenal; they should also be in expectation of the same.

I'm not really sure who will qualify between PSG and Arsenal, I'd say 49% Arsenal, 51% PSG. Get the popcorn out..
Barcelona are my favorites but this should be a close match, with Barcelona’s possession game potentially exploiting Inter’s defensive vulnerabilities. The second leg will be crucial, but there is no doubt whatsoever, not even a tiny bit, that Barcelona will not only reach the semifinals but will also go all the way to the final.

Who do you think will be able to lift the cup?
They are all very strong teams, Barcelona was given a 4 while Inter was given a 11, just to give an example.
Making predictions at this time is really very difficult, even if they will certainly be very tough matches.

With their victory when they destroyed Real Madrid, it made them more confident when they were in the semifinals facing Paris Saint Germain.

They will play at their home base first and that is indeed advantageous. They can do the same thing when they beat Real Madrid. But Paris Saint Germain also came not to lose, they must have studied the game from Arsenal.
