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

Liverpool winning big tonight should be difficult because... Diego Simeone

We'll see later today, I think they're in a good position to take the win at Anfield but yeah Atletico can still pose a threat even without Griezmann.

I also think Milan has a solid chance at winning since they really need all three if they plan on contesting the second slot.

I got both of them currently in a parlay and hopefully, both of them hits. 

inter must win today away at sheriff to take the important 2nd place in the group.

I also think the good debut for Sheriff ended after losing to Inter... In general, the situation in Group D is very interesting right now! Everyone needs to win and try to score more goals... If Inter wins today, they can get on top of the standings, because I have a hunch that Shakhtar could draw with Real...

Liverpool winning big tonight should be difficult because... Diego Simeone

Liverpool are in a very good scoring form. They are also linking up very well in the midfield area. The game is at Anfield and I am sure it will be totally different from the last match. Griezmann is a key man absent for Atletico but despite that I think Simeone will roll out Joao Felix and Suarez in attack and that certainly will put Atletico in contest but I think Van Dijk and co. in defense should able to hold them down.

I predict 3-1 for Liverpool.

The question should rather be how much more successful ManU would be without Ronaldo. The system of play has been changed by the signing him in such a way that it suits Ronaldo very well, but this deprives other players of their strength. Of course, Ronaldo can therefore always shine as a decision-maker, but basically at the expense of the team.

Ronaldo can be self-fish and create pressure on his mates and coach but he is very professional and ambitious. When he is ready to play, he does his best until last minutes to win. He does not like loss at any result.

Manchester United were lucky when they got Ronaldo before the nose of Manchester City. I wait Ole to combine Ronaldo and Cavani to increase the power of Manchester United. They can not rely on two old players for goals too long but two more seasons is possible. If Ole does not find a position for Cavani, he will leave the club. Players like Cavani is not for the bench in most matches.

You sign Ronaldo so the number 1 priority will be how to use Ronaldo as a player effectively. As for this moment, Ole cant use him effectively yet because he keep on rotating the players around and changing strategy at almost all matches.

Ole only works with Ronaldo a few months and I think it is unfair to ask him to use new players at best rate. It takes time for new players and coach to find themselves in a new situation and other players to adapt to new changes in the squad. I don't support Ole and I don't think he does his work well.

I'm very sure now about that Juventus are a very interesting team.    They have been struggling in the Serie A in the recent times. However, they are doing a really great job in the Champions League now. They won all of their first four matches so far. Last night, they defeated Zenit by 4-2. And Dybala was absolutely the player of the match as he scored 2 goals and made 1 assist. I'm curious about until when they will keep up this very good work here.

I would not attach particular importance to these results - everyone understands that Juventus and Chelsea will leave the group to the playoff stage, so the games are held almost in a friendly format. Well, in fact, of these four games, only one was serious against Chelsea and Juventus won it with a minimum score of 1-0.

Griezmann is a key man absent for Atletico but despite that I think Simeone will roll out Joao Felix and Suarez in attack and that certainly will put Atletico in contest but I think Van Dijk and co. in defense should able to hold them down.

I predict 3-1 for Liverpool.

Liverpool will be playing at home, I think they need to win to get 1 early ticket to knockout. After Van Djik returned, Liverpool looked even more great, they were able to make Man United cry with a score of 0-5. Against Arletico, the defenders had to keep Suarez and Griezman tight. They are quite prolific strikers in recent match. So I think Liverpool will win 2-0 . Athletico it looks like they have to win because they have the same points as Porto. If athletico wins then they will be in second place with 7 points.

I also think that fairy tale for Sheriff is over. today Inter and Real Madrid should win and table in group D will be more predictable with these big clubs taking 1st and 2nd places.

The last call for Milan Today, they have only 1 result and it needs to be a win.

The leaderboard is the following.

Liverpool 9
Atletico 4
Porto 4
Milan 0

The game is the only one that will start at 18.45 CET.

If athletico wins then they will be in second place with 7 points.

Yeah Atletico will avoid getting into rough situation in next match so they could also try to score some but really against Liverpool it feels so difficult. They might find one or two but the main challenge is to stop Liverpool from scoring goals as well and right now they are at best form in scoring. Actually Atletcio Madrid are up against best scoring side of PL right now. With Mane, Salah and Firmino all scoring and contributing it really feels hard that Atletico will able to keep their nets clean.

Plenty of interesting games today.
From early games, Miland do or die game looks interesting. They must win and odds @2.00 looks attractive. In other game Real shouldn't have big problems against Shkahtar.
Liverpool - Atletico is main game today probably. I'm backing LFC, but maybe we will see high scoringgame again, over 2.5 @1.70 doesn't looks bad.
Borussia - Ajax. I think that current Ajax is able towin in Dortmund. But if you're looking for safe bet, over 2.5 @1.55 looks like a safe choice.
Inter should win against Sheriff, but odds aren't very attractive, so it's another game where I go with over 2.5
City - Brugge, there is no questions about this game, Sporting also should win against Besiktas.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts about Leipzig - PSG game.

The game is the only one that will start at 18.45 CET.

Real - Shakhtar game will start at same time too.

I agree, interesting games today! The first games are Milan and Real... starting in minutes!



As you said, for Milan is either a "do or die game"! This is their last chance to get back into the race... Definitely nice odds and I believe that Milan must win tonight!

Good odds on Real as well! I mean they won the first game 5-0, and now they are playing at home... I expect something similar to happen, Real to win with a few goals difference!

[Slow death]

well today we have very interesting games:

Milan - FC Porto

Real Madrid - Shakhtar Donetsk

the games start and I'll have to watch a little of each game to be able to watch both games, as I bet money I like to follow the games so I can take some lessons for the next games

even if they didn't qualify but at least they should make a point here.
They are so superior in Serie A that they have never even lost there.
but here the competition is different and they inevitably have to be able to survive so as not to be underestimated by other teams.
Now the match against Porto has started.
they should be able to maximize the game at home.
it will be a loss if they lose the san siro.
but they have to be extra now because only 6 minutes they are already 1 goal behind.

One of the most interesting Champions League matches today was the match between Milan and Porto, this match was a life and death match for Milan, and Milan, who played at home, were required to win in order to keep their chances of qualifying for the next round, even though it was difficult but Milan should be able to win match today, moreover they have conceded one goal in this first half in the 6th minute.

Milan: sir yes sir!
Milan after 6 minutes: 0 - 1 Porto
Odds for Milan are right now @4.1 and for Porto @1.85, seems promising!
Generally a team that score fast will accept goals later so might Milan score or Ibra save them? Or just neglect CL and focus on Serie A..

AC Milan has been very unconvincing in the Champions League this season. If AC Milan cant win today's match, then they will no longer have a chance of qualifying for the next round "although the chance are very small" considering the opponent they have to face are Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. It's a shame because they have to be in the toughest group this season. While the score 0-1, Porto led since the 6th minute.

I would very much like to believe in it as I made a bet on the victory of Milan ... But as sad as it sounds, Milan continues to disappoint in the Champions League, which is strange given their position in Serie A, (I think about it someone has already mentioned it). I think that such low starting chances for the victory of the Italians were not only because this is a home match, but also because today, hypothetically, Milan would simply have to interrupt their losing streak (statistically).

Although judging by the fact that Ibrahimovic and Kjer are on the bench, I am not surprised by their next defeat. 

[poldanmig]

The first half of the match between AC Milan and Porto has ended with a temporary score of 0-1 for Porto's victory, in the first half statistics it can be seen that AC Milan had the ball around 51% and the game was fairly balanced in my opinion, but the intensity of the attacks from Porto was quite dangerous and they were able to get past the midfield and defense of milan and create 5 shots on target, do you think milan can turn things around in the second half?

If the coach keeps an existing player I mean not making substitutions then I think the result is still the same Porto won
unless Ibrahimovic comes on in the second half maybe the situation can change because this player can motivate other players
this is Milan's worst season in the UCL without a win so far.

That's the more suitable and logical outcome but why not this fairytale continue? Even if it sounds crazy, I'm with Sheriff and their dream.

Personally, I'm positive that we will see more goals but if Milan will take the win, I'm not so sure. At least until now, it seems that Porto has found a way to balance the game and take the lead so Milan needs to try a lot harder.

[Woodie]

Real Madrid just got their second goal against Shakhtar and if result stays like this they secure top spot though Sheriff Tiraspol has a chance to go joint top with the Spanish giants if they can win the game in hand they have against Inter milan who are current in third place.

Elsewhere match favourites AC Milan just got a goal back against FC Porto after temporary falling back but match is tied 1-1 and if they can get a second goal then they should register their first win of the group otherwise I see Forto winning here...
