⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid!

[RondoAnyar]

Due to an injury, Lionel Messi will be absent from PSG's Champions League game against RB Leipzig. After winning the Copa America, he had a rough couple months. As a result of an injury, Messi has been underperforming, especially in Ligue 1. What happened to this player who used to play season after season without getting injured? We wish him a speedy recovery.

I don't think it's just about that, Messi is indeed one of the best players, but on the other hand, the age factor and conditions and adaptation are very influential.
Barcelona and PSG's style of play is very much different, so it's not surprising that his performance this season at PSG is not too flashy because it could be a factor that his adjustment is still not stable and it still takes time for him to show his best performance.

The most important match for Barcelona will be against Benfica, but you are right that if Barcelona do not win today it will mean a 99% drop out of the Champions League. Another question is whether it makes sense for Barcelona to go to the playoff stage, where it is likely to be destroyed by any top club.
As for Bayern, the odds that they will score at least 3 goals today are 1.56   Bayern are showing such performance that such odds seem adequate.

Given that Bayern will win today than Barcelona really also needs todays game or otherwise they desperately need a win in the next game against Benfica. I also think though that Barca would still have a chance even if they are behind Benfica before the last matchday because by then i would guess that Bayern is already qualified for the next stage and therefore could play with some younger and inexperienced players which should definitely increase the chances of Barca to win that match. It would also mean though that Benfica would probably need to lose against Kiew in their last match so the best for Barca would be to win the next 2 matches.

[HT] Malmo FF 0 - 0 Chelsea

With the statistics above, do you think Chelsea can make a win with a distance of 2 goals? I wanted to bet on Chelsea but was hesitant because they only drew and were goalless in the first half, even though they dominated the game. Chelsea wants to catch Juventus above Group H standings but Malmo also seems to want to win

[DU18]

Also I see Chelsea have more chance to win today, including Bayern which are my best game. It will all be be fun this night.

The second half between chelsea and malmo has started, while the score is still at 0:0 and it looks like in the first half chelsea really controlled today's match and they were able to shoot 14 times and 7 of them were shoot on target, seeing chelsea game continue to attack Malmo looks like soon we will soon see the creation of goals in the match .

It's sad news to know that Messi is injured again, it looks like Messi is still in the process of adapting. Moreover, Messi's age is not young anymore,
so his body was injured due to adjusting to the way PSG train and play which of course is different from Barcelona. I also really wish Messi a speedy
recovery and rediscover his best form with PSG.

PSG's victory against Leipzig was important enough to increase their chances of qualifying for the next round. Even though PSG are currently at
the top of Group A, they are only one point away from Man City and 3 points away from Club Brugge, means PSG is still not safe. After all, it's not
only Messi who certainly can't play when PSG face Leipzig in the Champions League, there are three other PSG players who can't play as well.
They are Sergio Ramos, Leandro Paredes and Marco Verratti, the three of them still hadn't recovered and had to be absent too. But I believe PSG
can beat Leipzig, although PSG couldn't play some of their players.

Don't forget Chelsea won 4-0 vs Malmo in the first leg of the group stage at Stamford Bridge some time ago. I have no doubts about Chelsea because Malmo will lose again even though this time they are playing at home. Chelsea just need to put in a lot of effort to score and it's only a matter of time now, so 2 goals in my opinion is still possible in the second half. After all Malmo have not scored a goals so far in 3 Champions League match while they have conceded 11 goals.

I don't think the match in their previous meeting can be used as a reference, I firmly believe there is something different in this match, they made 2 - 0 in the first half then, but this time? They didn't even score 1 goal, I've chosen Malmo +1 for this second half match, hopefully this time Malmo can stop Chelsea from scoring a lot of goals.

It seems so because I saw during the game Malmo's defense was very strong and Chelsea struggled to score goals, but Chelsea's hard work was not in vain because they finally managed to score and make it 0-1 for Chelsea. thanks to a Hudson-Odoi cross from the left of the defense and Ziyech's cross in the 56th minute.
Looks like Malmo's defense made it difficult for Chelsea to score many goals.

One of the most awaited game of the day is about to start and the lineups between Atalanta  and Manchester United are in..

Atalanta: Musso; De Roon, Demiral, Palomino; Zappacosta, Freuler, Koopmeiners, Maehle, Pasalic, Ilicic, Zapata.

Manchester United: De Gea; Varane, Maguire, Bailly, Wan-Bissaka, Pogba, McTominay, Shaw, Fernandes, Ronaldo, Rashford.

As always most bookies will rate Manchester United as the underdogs but I expect Uniteds win over spurs to give them the much needed confidence going into this match and come out as Victor's and team looks strong too.
My prediction Atalanta 1-2 Manchester United

[ShowOff]

MAAManda, If you just want to bet on Chelsea winning, why would you want them to score more goals? If only 1 goal and they manage to keep it till the end of the match then you will also win that bet. But whatever it is, for sure you will have very little odds today with Chelsea.

What do you think now with Barcelona?
I was surprised to see Dembele on the bench today because I haven't had any news of his injury for some time. But I doubt he will play in this match and if he recovers then I hope he doesn't push himself. I feel confident with Dembele, if he can play like he did at Dortmund then he will be very special at Barcelona.

[darewaller]

Looking at their near head-to-head history, I see that they played against each other three times. And Barcelona won all of them. They won two of them by one goal and the other one was a 4-0 disaster for Dynamo Kiev. But this time is different of course. We don't have the same Barcelona now. So with these injuries, they have a tough job to do here. But maybe they can win with a one-goal difference.

Barcelona could be not as great as they used to be, but the reality is that we are talking about Barcelona here, no matter how bad they are and even without a manager they are still better than Kiev. This doesn't mean that we will not see Kiev win this time around, anything could happen because Barcelona is now closer but it is still Barcelona as favorites.

I am hoping to see something to improve during this situation. They got rid of Koeman, and yes they are not with a new manager yet but it is still clear that as long as Koeman is gone, players must need to prove that they are good and it was the manager that was the problem, if they keep losing more than people may think it was the players so they will play with the best their abilities.

I Just Wanted To Get Better Odds Than Opting For Chelsea Win, After The First Half Was Complete I Looked At The Betting Market At Stake And See That I Have To Pick At Least -1.25 For Chelsea To Get Good Odds, But After I Think Back, Looks like it's better to +1 for Malmo, and we've seen the result, Yes, Malmo 0 - 1 Chelsea. My Bet Is Draw

What do you think now with Barcelona?

I think they will lose or play with a draw like their disappointing match against Vallecano and Alaves.

[ingiltere]

Despite too many shots, Chelsea won by only one goal. It's important to get three points though no matter how many you score, Chelsea had a good advantage to advance now.
Today is a slow day, all good matches in Champions League are Tomorrow. I try to check Kiev - Barca game as I wonder how Barca will perform. They have to get the win there but I wouldn't underestimate Lucescu's teams. It will be a very though game, don't get the wrong impression from odds. It may not be similar level as player quality but as a team Dynamo Kiev perform good, they are still undefeated in their local league in thirteen games. I expect a narrow game and it's open to all three outcomes but if Memphis and Fati performs well then Barca can get the win they needed here.

Dynamo Kyiv didn't score any goal in group stage but still have small chances to take the 3rd spot in group E. victory in Kyiv could take the club to the 3rd place and we all saw Barcelona's defense so mission is not so impossible.

Barcelona must win as much as possible against Dynamo kyiv this is a challenge that must be done well, even though Dembele is on the bench but they are confident with the front line that is applied now as long as it is more solid away games will not be a problem if they lose then Barcelona fail to enter next play off kebabal.

But this is quite stressful too because they have to win while Bayern munchen will definitely beat Benfica, now this is something that is a good advantage and must be used by Barcelona. But I have to see the results later.

Always when they have some serious pressure they perform in good way I am also having same feeling today they are going to win and having their spot for next round because win against Tottenham give them some good confidence on other side Atlanta home form is also not good which is also good for Manchester United Varane back is also good for them now their defense could be in some better shape which was serious issue for them in many games.

In another game, Barcelona is also going for their better future now Koeman is out, and they have no regular coach, but today's win can give them good confidence for their better plans in next games.

The important thing here is that, they won. Bagged all 3 points and have got a chance to the next stage though, I wasn't particularly pleased with the results. I had hoped for a complete beat down. The dominance was vivid enough in the game play and statistics. With over 17 shots or which 11 was on target but, they only managed to get a single goal and secure the win. I have to give it to Malmo, they did quite a job to keep Chelsea in check and only got to conceive just a single goal.

Atalanta Vs Manchester United fixture has kicked off. I frankly don't know a side to support in this game  but, I don't see Manchester United winning against Atalanta though, I just hoe they do.

After all Malmo have not scored a goals so far in 3 Champions League match while they have conceded 11 goals.

The match between chelse and malmo has ended with the score 0:1 for chelsea victory, from the first half chelsea played quite dominantly and even they continued to attack malmo defense, but unfortunately they were only able to create 1 goal in today match, I think with mastery the ball by chelsea is almost 70%, I would have seen there would be a lot of goals but it turned out I was wrong .

Most bookies? which bookies were that? It seems that both are getting pretty even odds with Manchester United being the slight favourites to win this match. Anyway the current score is 1-0 for Atalanta right now, it doesnt looks good for United right now because they need to get 3 points from this match to make sure they have a decent chance for the Play off

Not watching the game right now but it looks like Ole is using 5-3-2 (?) it seems according to flashscore.com, Pretty weird huh

[notblox1]

It could be good time for some live betting in Champions League, and I think that Manchester will score against Atalanta, maybe Ronaldo or Rashford.
Villarreal is still playing without goals with Young Boys but I think they will score one or more goals, and they need points to move up in group.
