However, in this competition the experience It is a degree and it is what the team has lacked, in addition to the luck necessary for the ball to enter the rival goal. Girona’s situation in the classification is not good. The Catalan club is virtually eliminated having won only one game of the six played. Mathematics says that Míchel’s they still have optionsbut they are very remote. The Gironí team should beat Milan (in San Siro) and Arsenal (in Montilivi) and wait for three teams to not score points and five to leave points along the way. In the goal, Gazzaniga He will continue to be the starting goalkeeper. The Míchel’s confidence The Argentine remains intact, betting on him in both La Liga and Champions League matches, he has only missed the Copa del Rey.

Vinícius reaches 100 goals for Real Madrid as the club advances in the Champions League

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

MADRID — Vinicius Júnior reached 100 goals for Real Madrid on Wednesday in the team’s 5-1 victory over Salzburg, securing a playoff spot after a slow start in the Champions League. The Brazilian scored his 99th and 100th goals, according to UEFA, placing him in third place among his country’s top scorers in the Champions League with 28 in the competition. Neymar leads with 43, followed by Kaká with 30. The Merengue team reported that Vinicius had reached 101 goals for the club. Spanish media indicated that the discrepancy dates back to a goal in La Liga that many considered an own goal and therefore should not count as scored by the South American forward. “I am very happy to be able to reach 100 goals with this shirt. Now I am only three behind Ronaldo, the Brazilian with the most goals for Madrid. I hope I can continue like this and score many goals to mark an era in this team, which is my dream,” Vinicius declared. “The goals are making me a better player. At first here I didn’t score many goals, but now I can have a bad game but still score two goals, and it’s a good habit!” Madrid, the defending champion and top title winner with 15, had lost three of its first six games in the new Champions League format and was at risk of elimination. The victory moved Madrid to 16th place in the 36-team league stage of the competition. Rodrygo also scored twice for the Merengue team, and Kylian Mbappé added another goal after a mistake by Salzburg goalkeeper Janis Blaswich. Brazilian Rodrygo has scored five goals in his last four games, while Vinicius has three in his two most recent games. Mbappé also scored five goals in his last four games. Jude Bellingham set up one of Vinicius’ goals with a clever backheel. The white team next visits the French club Brest.

PSG shows that it can shine in the Champions League without Mbappé

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain finally showed it can shine in the Champions League without former star Kylian Mbappé, coming back from 2-0 down in the second half to beat Manchester City 4-2 on Wednesday. The crucial victory took PSG out of the elimination zone in the new format of the competition, with a general table, and left City in that section with one game to play. PSG’s redesigned attack finally came together, using four different goal scorers instead of relying too much on just one to make a difference. PSG winger Bradley Barcola scored one goal and assisted another for his France teammate Ousmane Dembélé. Midfielder Joao Neves headed in to score the third before striker Gonçalo Ramos added the fourth in stoppage time. The French team has struggled to score goals in the competition since Mbappé left for Real Madrid before this campaign. He had scored just six in as many games before City’s visit and had been held goalless in defeats to Arsenal and Bayern Munich. PSG coach Luis Enrique said before facing City that the solution up front would come from more teamwork rather than hoping another player can emulate Mbappé, who scored 44 goals last season and helped PSG reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. City coach Pep Guardiola acknowledged that his team was outmatched. “We have to accept it. In the transitions we couldn’t face them, they were faster,” he said. “I give credit to PSG. When a team is better, I have no problem accepting it. They all played really well. “He is not a specific player.” Mbappé’s move to Madrid has forced Luis Enrique to improvise with his lineups all season. This time, 19-year-old winger Désiré Doué played as a makeshift forward although centre-forward Ramos was available for this duel where both teams backed by rich states – the United Arab Emirates (City) and Qatar (PSG) – were at risk of not advancing to the direct elimination stage. City led 2-0 after 53 minutes but PSG equalized in the 60th after some inspiring play from Barcola on the left. Barcola beat Savinho before finding Dembélé near the penalty spot. Barcola himself, 22, equalized by hitting the left post after Doué’s shot bounced off the crossbar. The diminutive Neves leaned in to head in a free kick from the right in the 78th. Dembélé also hit the crossbar with 20 minutes remaining and PSG had two more goals disallowed for offside. PSG players ran to celebrate with their fans as the final whistle blew, and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi clenched a fist. Maybe losing Mbappé won’t be so bad after all. “We are a young team but a team with character,” Al-Khelaifi told Canal Plus. “Many players doubted our team, but I always trusted them.” Al-Khelaifi praised the impact of Luis Enrique. “I think we have the best coach in the world,” he said. “We are playing with character, identity, DNA.”

He didn’t do it Tchouaméniwhich is probably not one hundred percent, and Modric played alongside Ceballos and Bellingham.

In front, a young, excited Salzburg, with nothing to lose, but that had not competed at an official level for a month due to the winter break in Austrian football. Still, Red Bull’s team at the start was surprising. His first minutes were very brave, scaring more than one at the Bernabéu. Until the 20th minute, Madrid did not begin to mature their rival. They can’t see Rodrygo The whites were still trying to finish taking the game to their own ground when Rodrygo left his first genius of the night. Vinicius put a cross ball, which was for Bellingham, but the other Brazilian appeared from the shadows. With a first shot, he changed the ball’s stick and scored. Its celebration, ‘you can’t see me’ (you can’t see me) popularized by wrestler and actor John Dinnercould not have been more accurate. Salzburg’s rebellion held out until the goal.

A lot of Rodrygo and Bellingham and little of Mbappé and Vinicius in the first half. It wouldn’t take long for Kylian to change it. Three minutes after the restart, the French ‘9’ paid tribute to Karim Benzema and forced a blunder from the rival goalkeeper, Blaswichto score 3-0. Vinicius, always electric Vini also took the opportunity and in the 54th minute his goal came in an electric play: he ran, dribbled past two rivals in the area and took a brilliant cross shot. After the hour of the match, Ancelotti began with the changes and gradually removed his stars. First Bellingham, at the same time as Ceballos, so that they could enter Praise and Burn Güler. Then it was Mbappé and Rodrygo’s turn, for Brahma and Endrick. Vinicius stayed on the field, because he will not play again for ten days. Real Madrid’s ‘7’ took advantage of those minutes on the field. Good transition from Brahim and Vinicius, lethal, scored the fifth goal. Complete party at the Bernabéu. Ancelotti took advantage of the opportunity to introduce another of the youngsters from the quarry, Jacob Ramonwho formed a couple for a few minutes with Raul Asenciothe ‘blackbird’ that everyone now focuses on The Factory.

With 12 points under their belt, they need to beat Brest away from home once they have secured their presence at least in 9th to 24th places. The hypothetical victory against the French team would allow them to reach 15 points and climb even further positions, although it will also depend on the results of their direct rivals. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and Aston Villa are their main threats since they are above them in the standings. The task of sneaking into the top eight teams that directly access the round of 16 seems distant, but it is not impossible. He Bayer Leverkusen occupies 8th place with 13 points. “We have already lost two games… I don’t know if we can reach the top eight, but we are going to try,” said Ancelotti in the press conference prior to the match against Liverpool in Anfieldwhere Madrid fell 2-0. In this new format of the Champions League, where each goal can change the classification in real time, the whites have much more at stake than their continuity.

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

The new format of the Champions has put into practice the capacity that the real Madrid of overcome completely unknown difficulties in their fetish competition. The defeats against Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool caused the alarm light to go on regarding the possibility that the white club would not survive the league phase. However, a team like Real Madrid, hardened in a thousand battles, has known how face setbacks which has been found during its journey in a new edition completely unknown to all the European teams that make up this Champions League.

Real Madrid got something more valuable than the three points from their match against Atalantathe confidence to face a final phase with the certainty that the situation was going to be resolved. After the defeat against Liverpool, The future looked very dark for the Madrid team.. Two games and six points later, the real Madrid has already secured its qualification for the qualifying round of the round of 16 and who knows if, if it achieves victory against Brest On the last day, a series of cabals may occur that put the team among the first eight. The chances of that happening are very remote, but Real Madrid has shown on numerous occasions that He doesn’t understand probabilities and statistics.. In memory is still the data that UEFA released in the semi-final second leg match between Real Madrid and Manchester City with the percentage of qualification options in the 89th minute of the match: 99% for the English team, 1% for the whites. The outcome? Ancelotti’s men ended up lifting the Champions League in Saint-Denis.

In a completely unknown scenario – the real Madrid They have never been eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League in the 31 editions they have participated. The players took a step forward and with their vindication towards the figure of their coachhave reversed an unfavorable context. “We have already lost two games… I don’t know if we can reach the top eight, but we are going to try,” said Ancelotti in the press conference prior to the match against Liverpool in Anfieldwhere Madrid subsequently fell 2-0.

Vinicius, Mbappé and Rodrygo celebrate a goal with Real Madrid EFE The white team has regained its momentum and is on the way to regaining defensive solidity at the most important moment of the season. The four musketeers (Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappé and Bellingham) showed against Salzburg that, with very little, they can be a lethal team. Real Madrid at half throttle scored five goals against the Austrian team. The players are fine-tuning themselves in the second part of the season where the dispute for the most important titles begins: League, Champions and Copa del Rey. The offensive arsenal that Ancelotti has is the envy of any coach. That does not guarantee success, but it can be fundamental in the results of the matches. At this point, Real Madrid can breathe easy. They will face Brest on the last day having secured qualification for the qualifying round to the round of 16 of the Champions League. Clubs like Manchester City or PSG cannot say the same. They will risk everything on the last day. The new format of the Champions League has made it very difficult for teams like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City to finish in the top eight, but there is a (very big) possibility that the champion of 2023 will be eliminated at the first opportunity. Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique give instructions to their players during PSG – Manchester City. Reuters At the end of day seven, the team led by Pep Guardiola It is in position 25, that is, it would be out of the Champions League. On January 29, City has a early ending: If they do not beat Bruges at the Etihad Stadium, their participation in Europe will end. Everything is to be decided in the last match of the league phase. The main objective of the greats at the moment is not to think about lifting the ‘Orejona’ in the Allianz Arena, but adding the three points in the next match is the immediate duty. If one of the greats is eliminated, the season would be disastrous.

Champions League: results that Real Madrid needs to advance among the top 8

January 22, 2025 by usatoday24

In addition to a miracle… and that not all those at the top win (between fifth and fifteenth position), The odds for Real Madrid to qualify for the Champions League, among the top 8 in the table, are very tight.. The first favors began on Tuesday, with the epic victory of the Barcelona facing Benfica (5-4), the defeat of Bayer Leverkusen in view of Atlético de Madrid (2-1) and especially that of Liverpool against Lille (2-1). Because they are direct rivals when it comes to counting points, these results increased the odds for the team he leads. Carlo Ancelotti. In fact, the tie Juventus and the defeat of Borussia Dortmund against Bologna they also serve Real Madrid. But there are many games ahead and The first requirement that the Spanish team must meet is to beat Salzburg this Wednesday and Brest next week. If you do not win both duels, you will not be able to qualify among the top eight. The results that Real Madrid needs to advance to the 8th round of the Champions League directly This Wednesday 9 matches will be played and Real Madrid, from the Santiago Bernabéu, will have to pay attention to other duels. The most important will be Feyenoord – Bayern Münich, Leipzig – Sporting Lisbon, Milan – Girona, Sparta Prague – Inter Milan and Shakhtar – Brest. Real Madrid in 22nd place, but If they beat Salzburg and some results merge, they could reach sixteenth place, leaving the rest of the aspirations for next week. Real Madrid needs these results today: Shakhtar’s victory against Brest Leipzig victory against Sporting or draw Sparta Prague victory against Inter or draw Bayern Münich’s victory against Feyenoord Girona victory against Milan or draw If the forecast is fulfilled, according to an online calculator that the Marca newspaper has availableReal Madrid would reach 16th place with 12 points, while Atalanta, who beat Sturm Graz 5-0, is in fifth position with 14 points. And what results does Real Madrid need on the last date of the Champions League group? Basically, defeat Brest and not let everyone at the top win, especially: Atalanta, Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Inter Milan, Monaco, Lille, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus. However, some of these clubs play at home and against modest rivals. Assuming that Leverkusen wins at home against Sparta Prague and Barcelona defeats Atalanta in Montjuic, perhaps the “easiest” matches to predict, in the rest of the matches ANYTHING can happen. The results that would classify Real Madrid on the last date: Victory or draw for Benfica against Juventus Draw between Inter Milan and Monaco (the victory of either would hurt them) Victory or draw for Feyenoord against Lille Victory or draw for Girona against Arsenal (unlikely) Win or draw for Dinamo Zagreb against Milan (unlikely, but the Croatian club is local) Victory or draw for Shakhtar against Dortmund Barcelona victory over Atalanta But the margin of error is VERY small. If Juventus wins and there is a winner between Inter and Monaco, Real Madrid could only be ninth, unless Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen lose. And in the event that Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen win and there is a winner between Inter and Monaco, but Juventus falls or draws against Benfica, Real Madrid’s classification could depend on Barcelona defeating Atalanta. The number of goals scored and conceded, which results in the goal difference, could also be an ultimately determining factor, but difficult to predict at this time. Real Madrid has it complicated, very complicated, but mathematics keeps it alive. Why Real Madrid seeks to be among the top 8 With this new format in the Champions League, the top eight teams advance directly to the round of 16, an objective that Real Madrid seeks in this initial phase. In case of finishing between 9th and 24th place, the whites would have to play a kind of direct eliminatory, round trip, to decide the others classified for the round of 16, where the competition continues with the usual format. If they fall in this instance, there will be no consolation ticket to the Europa League, but rather they will be definitively out of European competitions.
