After an exciting Round 1 action, the UEFA Champions League returns with Round 2 with some exciting clashes lined up. Big Teams like Inter, Barcelona, and Dortmund will be in action on Wednesday. However, the Arsenal vs PSG contest steals the headlines as the most important game of this round.
So let’s know about some important matches of the day.
Arsenal vs PSG:
Arsenal started their UEFA Champions League campaign with an away stalemate against Atalanta, in which David Raya made a fantastic double save from the spot. PSG, on the other hand, got off to a winning start as they beat Girona 1-0 at the Parc des Princes.
PSG are at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and have been excellent on the domestic front this season. The Parisian side eased past Rennes by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in third place in the Premier League table and have been fairly impressive this season. The Gunners defeated Leicester City by a 4-2 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Arsenal have been outstanding under Mikel Arteta in the past two years and can be unstoppable on their day. Their resilience was on full display with a comeback against Leicester, and they’ll need to maintain that level of performance for this fixture.
PSG have had a strong start to their season but face their first big European test against Arsenal. The Gunners look like the stronger side and should be able to win this match.
FC Barcelona vs Young Boys:
Spanish giants FC Barcelona will look to open their points tally in the revamped edition of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season, when they welcome Swiss side Young Boys Bern to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday.
Barcelona conceded a surprise 1-2 defeat at Monaco in their UEFA Champions League opener as strikes from Maghnes Akilouche and George Ilenikhena for the Frech outfit ensured Lamine Yamal’s lone strike for the Catalans went in vain.
Moreover, coming on the back of a 4-2 disastrous loss to Osasuna at the El Sadar, the Blaugrana club needs to win their upcoming fixture against the Young Boys, not only to mark their first victory in the UEFA Champions League season but also to uplift the team’s morale.
the fixture between FC Barcelona and Young Boys is certainly going to be special, the first time these two face up against each other in the Champions League. Although FC Barcelona enters the fixture being the favorites, they certainly need to be aware not to repeat previous errors for a win against Young Boys. Analyzing all the factors, the game in favor of Barca could be a potential result of the fixture.
