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

[CryptocurencyKing]

Barcelona was so lucky yesterday - did you see that Benfica chance at the end of the game? Jorge Jesus said that he never saw anything like it in football which is of course overreacting, but Seferović missed an open goal in a situation in which Benfica would have one foot in the knockouts if he scored.

Still, Barcelona's last game is Bayern away, Benfica still has its chances.

United was good yesterday and secured qualification, Atalanta and Villarreal will battle it out directly in the last game of the group.

I was just surprised at Barcelona keeping all the possessions, all attacks and dominance, yet they failed to score a goal. I won’t be surprised if they probably end up in Europa League for sure. They might win it if so. Beating Bayern at Germany won't be possible for Barcelona. Only chance they have is Dynamo Kiev making a draw against Benifica. How ever it's pleasing to watch Barcelona matches again. Now they are back with their  style and play the beautiful possession game what they played before. Give Xavi a good CB and and a CF and story will be different in next season.

Early games Besiktas - Ajax and Inter - Shakhtar have obvious favorites and odds isn't exciting, so maybe I'll put combo on Ajax and Inter wins. Shakhtar looks disappointing - to be last in group where you have Sheriff, I don't know...
Atletico - Miland, do or die game for both teams, especially Milan. I'm backing Atletico here.
City - PSG. I don't get why PSG is so underrated. They win is rated @5.00. Does anyone planning to take it ?
Liverpool win @1.90 against Porto. Well it's tricky. Liverpool likely to rest main players, while Porto still fighting for 2nd place.
Sporting - Borussia, probably most unpredictable game today.

With the draw against benfica yesterday, barcelona seems to be in danger of being out of the champions league this season, because the match against münchen is not an easy match for barcelona, ​​moreover they have to play at allianz arena oppose  münchen later, I think it looks like benfica has a chance to qualify for the next round if barcelona loses and benfica can take advantage of the situation by defeating dynamo Kiev which is relatively weaker.

Bayern have solved the problem of reaching the next round and perhaps in the game with Barcelona they will give rest to the main players. But since Bayern will play in their stadium, they can play strong. So Barcelona must definitely win, so as not to hope for Benfica's misfire. But this is a rather difficult task.

It all depends on Bayern because this match with Barcelona means nothing to them, they have already secured first place in the group.
If Bayern decides to rest key players in the match against Barcelona, then the chances of the Spanish club to win will increase significantly.
Bayern also have problems with several players who don't want to be vaccinated and are therefore penalized by the club.
The relations between these players and the club's management seem to be disturbed, which could also affect the atmosphere in the team and future results.

[hahay]

Barcelona are not strong enough even though Xavi can give a good result in his first match in Laliga against Espanyol yesterday, but here in UCL Xavi still can't give the expected result. Because basically playing at home in last night's match against Benfica is a great opportunity for Barcelona to become runners up, because in the last match Barcelona will play away and also the opponent they face is Bayern Munich. In fact, even a draw I doubt it, although Xavi said he can beat Bayern Munich but it's just like a hope that is difficult to achieve. Barcelona only expects a draw for Benfica in the last match later and it seems, it is also just a hope that will not come true because Benfica will not waste this opportunity to qualify for the round of 16.

[cryptofrka]

Yep, if Benfica wins, Barcelona needs to win against Bayern - something that's hardly achievable in their current form. I'd say Benfica are the favorites for the knockout spot at this point, Dynamo Kiev has scored only 1 goal in their 5 CL games and has nothing to play for in the last group game.

Liverpool win @1.90 against Porto. Well it's tricky. Liverpool likely to rest main players, while Porto still fighting for 2nd place.

I would definitely skip betting on this game fully today. Liverpool will rest players for sure but their 2nd team looks good enough to beat Porto as well. There will probably be goals here though.

With the draw against benfica yesterday, barcelona seems to be in danger of being out of the champions league this season, because the match against münchen is not an easy match for barcelona, ​​moreover they have to play at allianz arena oppose  münchen later, I think it looks like benfica has a chance to qualify for the next round if barcelona loses and benfica can take advantage of the situation by defeating dynamo Kiev which is relatively weaker.

I didn't expect the Barcelona vs Benfica match to be a difficult match for Barcelona to score, but after I watched the game to the end it was only natural because Benfica was so focused on defense that no goals were scored by the Barcelona players. There were 8 offside trap that thwarted Barcelona's chances of scoring, including when Aroujo's goal was disallowed by the referee for standing in an offside position.

This draw will certainly never be good for Barcelona considering that it will only provide an opportunity for Benfica to qualify for the next round if Barcelona loses vs. Munich and Benfica wins vs Dinamo Kiev in the last match. I just think that Barcelona should win in the last game even though it looks very difficult at the moment, but that is the only way to qualify other than expecting Benfica to also lose vs Kiev.

Yes actually the match against benfica was a key match for barcelona to be able to get tickets to qualify for the next round, but instead they got negative results even though they played at camp nou, even though they played quite dominantly in the match but they were not able to score a goal against benfica, I I think it will be very interesting for us to see if Barcelona will play in the European league later, and maybe later they can become champion candidates in the European second tier competition

attacking line is still the reason why barcelona has not been able to get perfect results ,while the barcelona defense is already strong enough like the past ! there has to be a chance taker on the pitch ,this is no easy task as some sharpness was lost when Aguero stop play ! vs bayern later I think barcelona won't win unless there is a miracle for him  xavi must fight with deep prayers

But since Bayern will play in their stadium, they can play strong. So Barcelona must definitely win, so as not to hope for Benfica's misfire. But this is a rather difficult task.

Bayern will definitely not risk the main players in the last match, they don't need that. And most likely Barcelona will win, because Benfica will play with Dynamo the last match at home and I think they will win, because Benfica plays very well at home. And Dynamo is bringing up young players this season and cannot achieve good results.

Bayern Munich had already secured progression to the knockout stages even before this Barcelona game and also confirmed their position as group winners with the three points. But there is one thing every Team will want to achieve and that’s maintaining a 100% win record, even if they can keep that record to the finals. It is a very big achievement. And at that, they would will want to start their full squad against Barcelona. Lewandowski would always want to increase his goal tally by banging more goals in the European competition as he hopes to win the Ballon d' or. Thomas Miller said he enjoys playing against Barcelona, he must definitely want to play. In fact with or without the presence of their first team players, Bayern Munich will still win Barcelona in Allianz Areana.

Thomas Tuchel has proven himself without a doubt that he's a good manager that longs for trophies. He has already achieved his aim of building a team that clubs will be afraid to play against. Yesterday's match between Chelsea and Juventus made me understand that Tuchel has built a formidable force in Chelsea that can't be broken easily.  50matches managed so far by Tuchel in Chelsea(38 wins and 12 lost). I like the fact that Chelsea players are more consistent in winning matches than before during Lampard time as head coach

[W Jr.]

Chelsea beat Juventus 4-0. I think we are in a period where the Premier League teams are much stronger than before. They did not play against Juventus. Chelsea was the only judge of the match. Without Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny, we could even have seen a game with 6-7 goals.

[KTChampions]

It looks like Barcelona is heading for the Europa League

In all honesty, I'd have to agree with you, who would have thought we would be saying something like this a couple of seasons ago, Barcelona as a club has really deteriorated, and it'll all be sumed up if they drop out of the UCL group stage into the Europa league, that'll definitely affect the prestige and reputation of this great club, but from the looks of things, it looks set to happen, I said a couple of weeks ago that I don't think the problem with Barcelona is their coach, they lack so much quality in their side, and if they are to start winning again, then they have to buy new quality players, changing just the manager isn't enough, and Xavi doesn't even have the necessary experience to save the team from it's current predicament. Barcelona must beat Bayern on the final matchday, and honestly, I can't see them doing that.

In my opinion, Xavi with his old concept of the game is the anchor that will pull Barcelona to the bottom. Football changes quickly and what worked yesterday will not work today, unfortunately given Xavi's personal experience, he is unlikely to understand this until he faces harsh practice.
Meanwhile, Barcelona's odds of winning the Champions League have dropped from 50 to 61. Hopefully after today the bookmakers will publish Barcelona's odds of qualifying from the group, this has not yet been done.

Chelsea tends to play better without Lukaku and the goals tends to circulate better amongst other players. Chalobah was the last person I was expecting a goal from but he opened the lead goal with a brilliantly placed shot, Tuchel is branding Chelsea beyond the premier league nice job from Chelsea fc

Indeed, Chelsea improved a lot comparing to this period in the last season and the manager touch couldn't be denied. Another factor was Chelsea opponent during yesterday's game, Juve, it was out, unstable, although doing quite good so far in CL.
ManU didn't disappoint and won its game. Barcelona draw vs Benfica under Xavi, that wasn't good at all, they will face Bayern while Benfica will play vs Kyiv.. 3rd place for Barca?

[Slow death]

Early games Besiktas - Ajax and Inter - Shakhtar have obvious favorites and odds isn't exciting, so maybe I'll put combo on Ajax and Inter wins. Shakhtar looks disappointing - to be last in group where you have Sheriff, I don't know...

talking about these two games, i spent every morning thinking about how to place my bet, if i put inter and ajax combo to win i have an odd of @1.73, i thought of including the real madrid which would give an odd of @2.16, but will the real madrid won't lose against sheriff? That's what's worrying me, will ajax play for real? because ajax has already gone to another phase

Atletico - Miland, do or die game for both teams, especially Milan. I'm backing Atletico here.

but I still think it's an exaggeration to underestimate Milan, the odds for Milan to win are at @5.40

City - PSG. I don't get why PSG is so underrated. They win is rated @5.00. Does anyone planning to take it ?

It's strange that they're favoring City knowing that in their first game PSG won and City couldn't score at least 1 goal.

Liverpool win @1.90 against Porto. Well it's tricky. Liverpool likely to rest main players, while Porto still fighting for 2nd place.
Sporting - Borussia, probably most unpredictable game today.

for liverpool's game I'll wait to see which players will play before I place a bet

When it comes to betting everyone has their own slip. Those underrating PSG might have predicted based on his own statistics. This is one game that will spring up lots of reactions as both teams can win underrating PSG sounds too weird

[/quote] I'm not scared of betting on Liverpool to win because I just have that confidence they would definitely win I'm just beginning to build so much confidence in Liverpool but I would still gamble responsibly

Shakhtar Donetsk already have nothing to fight for anymore in this group unless they can create a miracle and beat Inter Milan today in order to compete with Sheriff Tiraspol for the 3rd spot in group D, but I think it would be very difficult for Shakhtar Donetsk to steal 3 points from the hands of Inter Milan today. I guess Inter Milan will be able to beat Shakhtar Donetsk at their home stadium today.
