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

[bitzizzix]

With the way we've seen different clubs perform in their several leagues,here are my top favourites for the UEFA Champions league.
Mancity
Bayern
Chelsea
PSG
Liverpool
I predict Mancity as the top favourite because of Pep Guardiola,he is very eager to win that tittle by all means,it has not been possible for him ever since he came to City,and his eyes are really on that trophy.
At the same time,Bayern with the players they have,are very interested in the tittle as well.
PSG will pose a threat,but I don't see them winning it.

I think Chelsea have a very big chance of winning the 2021-2022 Champions League and also the reigning champions who will most likely keep it and besides that Chelsea as a whole have a very good squad and the presence of Lukaku makes Chelsea even more victorious in Europe.
actually all the mentioned teams have a very good chance of winning because all of them are favourites, but because chelsea is a team I am proud of then I hope to win and become the defending champion.

If you look at the game, we believe that maybe Manchester City has a chance to win the champions league title, but I am optimistic that this year my favorite team, Liferpool, can provide a challenge, and can get a 7th champions league title, even though it has to go through a lot. obstacles but I'm optimistic that liferpol can get through it all..

Look at LFC performance apart from the first defeat in the league competition Liverpool is very stable the return of several core players this season after serious injuries have made them back in their good form especially they have Klopp who also has good experience in the UCL, but at the moment some strong teams have the same chances even Juventus who are not doing well in the league are also quite strong here I think.

Milan is drawing a successful graphic in Serie A, but it could not show the same success in the champions league. They were able to collect 1 point in 4 matches. They are in the last row of group B. I even see the probability of finishing the group in third place low. It may be an early farewell from Milan. Beşiktaş could not score in Group C.  They lost the chance to leave the group and the chance to continue in the European league. Liverpool and Ajax won 4/4 in these two groups and left the group with 12 points.

milan is playing very well in their own league, until now milan has not lost once, milan has played 12 matches in their own league, milan won 10 times, and drew 2 times, but unfortunately milan can't do much in the champions league, from 4 the match in the champions league has not even won, it is certain that milan is eliminated from the champions league, hopefully next year they can show their best game in the champions league..

It's not a problem for Milan to be eliminated in the group stage at the moment, I would like to see Milan focus more on one of these tournaments. The decision to focus more on Serie A is probably the right decision for Milan, because even if for example Milan is able to qualify for the knockout stages in this UCL, I don't believe Milan will continue to go further and that only leaves players vulnerable to injury. So for me Milan still has time for next season to be better in UCL, currently Milan is still recovering but Milan has shown good performance and that can be a guarantee to perform better in UCL next season.

Technically they aren't eliminated yet but the scenario for them to pass is quite complex because being second requires them to win and the other teams to lose a game and draw vs each other in the next one with Milan winning the remaining 2 ones. In this case I don't expect them to pass the next stage so much efforts for nothing imo The other scenario is to finish third which is possible and go to Europa League with better odds to do something there and maybe fight for the title.

I don't think Milan has any intention of going to the next round. I have watched the last few matches. They did not perform well. And I didn't see any tendency in them to perform well or win matches. However, they play every match of Serie A very seriously. And their performance there is extraordinary.

If we are talking about the Champions League, then Milan would be happy to continue their performance there. In the end, the Champions League brings huge revenues and the opportunity to win a meaningful title. If we talk about the Europa League, I am sure that this is not any priority for Milan, all efforts will be thrown into winning Serie A.

there are so many favorite teams to win the Champions League title this season like a few seasons before where PSG Manchester city and also Bayern Munich were so favored but they had to swallow the bitter pill of failing to win the big ear trophy, maybe for now I think that Chelsea real Madrid Liverpool and also Manchester city will probably be the strongest semifinalists in the fight for the Champions League title this season

So far in the group games, the best performing teams are like this to me: Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern Munich and Juventus. Therefore, I wonder until what stage we will see all of these teams. Among these teams, Ajax seem to be the team that can be eliminated earlier. But who knows? This tournament is full of surprises. For example, it was very unexpected for me to see that Chelsea became the champions last.

It is a team that has so far not got a loss or a draw, which means, their points are perfect and they have already qualified, this is no longer an estimate because statistics have proven it. But that doesn't mean a team that performs perfectly in the group stage will easily go further, because even though they have already qualified for the round of 16, we still don't know because they might lose in that phase which makes them eliminated as well. They remain difficult to predict, for me it's proven that the bets I've made in this tournament don't always go well.

What you say is quite reasonable, if we look at the difference in AC Milan's performance when playing in Serie A with when playing in the Champions
League. I agree AC Milan doesn't seem motivated to try to qualify for the next round in the Champions League, or maybe AC Milan realized after losing
3 times in a row in the Champions League, their chances of being able to proceed to the next round are very small. So AC Milan is more serious and
focused on winning the Serie A trophy, it can be seen that AC Milan is unbeaten in Serie A, whereas it is very ironic when AC Milan in the Champions
League did not get a single win AC Milan until the 4th game. I hope AC Milan in the two remaining games in the Champions League can win those
two games, so that at least AC Milan can play in the Europa League.

For example, it was very unexpected for me to see that Chelsea became the champions last.

At the moment, from the bookmaker's point of view, Ajax's chances of winning the Champions League are at odds of 21. And it ranks seventh in the list of contenders and by the way is ahead of both Juventus 25,50 (in my opinion this is justified) and Real 24,20 (this is a surprise for me). But in the first round of the playoffs, we are unlikely to see how these teams play with each other, since they all take first places in their groups now.

Now, Benzema actually has passed Raul in terms of total goals scored in the Champions League by 4 goals. But when it comes to scoring at Real Madrid, Raul is still ahead of Benzema as he has 66 goals in the Champions League while Benzema has 63. But I believe that Benzema can break this record even in this season of the tournament. Because Benzema is in a great shape now and there is no hindrance for him to succeed in this.

Football during last 20 years are crazy. We have many bomb scorers like Ronaldo, Messi, Benzema, Lewandowski and now Haaland, Mbappe.

They break many records in European football. I remembered that Inzaghi and Raul were fighting for the first position in Champions League scorer table. Now they are all falling behind this generation. Unbelievable!

Two decades ago, scoring 20 to 25 goals within one season is almost cap in all leagues but now 30 or 35 goals are not impossible with many players. Are they - attacking players - becoming better or in this generation, defenders are worse?

Football is changing in time. Rules change and players also change at a fast pace. And there are very talented strikers now who can score insane amount of goals. We can take Haaland as an example. He is only 21 years old now but his performance is insanely great. I think that he is already the best scorer of these times. And in the future, maybe there will be players who will be able to score more than him in a season too.

Beşiktaş could not score in Group C.  They lost the chance to leave the group and the chance to continue in the European league. Liverpool and Ajax won 4/4 in these two groups and left the group with 12 points.

Nevertheless,am still seeing roma and juventus as the top teams to battle for the Titans of italians seria A.
Milan has only had a chance to surpass few club in seria A doesn't guarantee their overtime success. If you said that they can also venture in the champions league,have you thought about how many clubs are they and the history of the former championship? Can Milan defeat Chelsea on their current form?
If yes,then they can sail through

The truth is I see that the Italian league is also a very tough league and Milan can do very well in their league together with Juve, but what happens is that when two types of style of play collide, such as the Italian, which is defensive by nature. Against a very rude and explosive style of play, at the moment I would not dare to say which is superior, each team has very good players, and it could be said that by history both teams in their countries are valuartes of their football, in this meeting I think that I would go for the MIlan.

Good Chelsea was not written off, because those guys are  dangerous.  When it comes to the matter of home and away goals, they will scale through because they have learnt how to conceive less. Again, they have a strategic coach. I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the reason Manchester United is not mentioned above. If not why will  Manchester United  with the calibre of players and with addition of Champions league idol (CR7) not make your prediction list.

Group stage is far different from the round of 16 up to the finals where luck in the draw also plays a huge role in my opinion.
Liverpool and Bayern Munich will more likely advance to the semi-finals.

But who knows? This tournament is full of surprises. For example, it was very unexpected for me to see that Chelsea became the champions last.

Surprises and luck.
Chelsea did it twice by the way.

Different teams have different priorities, some teams despite knowing they have no chance to win their tournament do what they can to play at their best level, this way they can sell their players for a more expensive price to clubs which actually have a chance to win the tournament, but there are others that could decide to make a priority to win their local tournament, and this is even more true if the team has not won their local tournament for a long time.

In the round 5, Chelsea are going to host Juventus in Stamford Bridge. This will be an important game as it can determine the leader also. Juventus already won all of their group games so far and guaranteed qualifying for the next round too. Maybe Chelsea haven't guaranteed it mathematically yet but they are already 6 points ahead of Zenit. There must be a miracle for Zenit to get past Chelsea from now on.    In Stamford Bridge, I'm favoring Chelsea. I think it is revenge time.

Chelsea will win this match. All the teams are strong in their own field. Moreover, Chelsea is still a strong enough team. Their coach Tuchel is experienced enough. The previous match they lost was unfortunately against Juventus. If you enjoyed the match, you will see that Chelsea played great, yet they lost.

I can hardly remember the two-legged confrontation in which the final result could be explained by luck. It is obvious that there are elements of luck in every action, but at a distance of 180 minutes of playing time (plus additional) the winner is determined quite accurately. Maybe such matches are matches where the result is determined by a penalty shootout, but as we know, skill in this is also very important.
