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

I don't understand why there is such a difference in odds between Man City and PSG! In Man City will not play Kevin de Bruyne, and without him the game of City is very different in moments! I think that today the French can win, because they can get to the first place in the standings! Yesterday Chelsea killed Juventus, but I don't think there can be a repeat of that game in England today!

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

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?

Chelsea had a really great game against Juventus today because winning with four goal difference is no joke against a team like Juventus. They played really well and won convincingly. About the Barcelona result, I think I was expecting too much from Barcelona under the circumstances. I should have known that Xavi is less experienced and will take a lot of time to settle.

Based on the history of the AC Milan vs Atletico meeting in the UCL, AC Milan has never won in 3 meetings. Today, Milan must be able to break the negative results. AC Milan's victory in this match is a match that can give hope, whether AC Milan will play in UEL or not. A tough game, a sad start for AC Milan after a long absence from UCL and back only to be in bottom of the group stage standings.

They performed great, like Chelsea played without pressure. 4-0 win is a big gap, Juve are very bad. Unfortunately this victory made Chelsea lose Kante and Ben Chilwell to injury.
Then regarding Barcelona, lucky they didn't lose. UCL is the most competitive league. No club is taken for granted. In addition, I think it's Xavi's first debut as a manager at Barcelona.

Carrick is Solskjaer 2.0.He might win a few games at the beginning,but he will fail in the long term.
Solskjaer also started pretty good as a Manchester United manager and the fans were excited about the team's performance,but he lost momentum and he failed to recover the team.
I'm surprised that Barcelona didn't win against Benfica,but I guess that Xavi will have lots of work building a new and competitive team out of the ruins that Koeman left.
Chelsea destroying Juventus was great.There's something wrong with the Italian team.They simply can't find a replacement for Christiano Ronaldo.

Why saying Carrick is Ole?
Or predicting he will end up like Ole.
Honestly he has worked with Ole and as such will have some of his patterns but the man Carrick is a different man. Atleast he has ears.
He gave VDB a chance, he rested Bruno whom Ole turned to robot.
He started Martial, he gave Bruno a full time play and most importantly made good changes.
Atleast he can try new things, unlike Ole who believes he loss any match that Maguire is absent.

Man City team still remains a favorite at home despite the absence of Kevin de Bruyne. In that sense, it is quite understandable why there would be such odds between the two teams. Although bookies may have theories to explain this, you can benefit from high odds on PSG winning. Regardless, Ramos could play tonight for PSG against Man City. Can't wait to see him play.

The performance shown by chelsea against juventus was truly extraordinary, even they were able to destroy juventus with a score of 4 zero without reply even though my wound did not play at all, with this victory it can be ascertained that chelsea and juventus now automatically qualify for the round of 16.
I think Barcelona this season has a very small chance of qualifying after getting a draw, because even though Munich has now got a ticket to the last 16, of course they will still appear all out in the last match later.

[hahay]

Liverpool have already qualified and now they are playing at home against Porto, which we know the rivalry between Porto and Atletico is still going on in this group. I wonder if Liverpool will still try to win this match or maybe just play casually with the target of a draw. But at the same time, of course, Porto will not give up easily and will certainly try to get points in this match. But still, I doubt that, because even in the first game Porto couldn't do much even though playing in front of their own fans and losing 1-5 is something bad.

It will be good if Chelsea scores a couple more goals, because otherwise, after the match, everyone will only have something to discuss this highly controversial goal. Unpleasant episode, I hope we will not see anything like this in the playoffs. Chelsea have a noticeable playing advantage, but so far they have been able to come out ahead only in such a controversial way.

Well they ad scored more goals and they are strong enough to be able to win versus this juventus but two of the four goals should be removed by the VAR.

if i see the betting odds moneyline for Man City lower than PSG maybe it because Man City playing at their home so usually home team will slightly favourite compare to away team however 2-0 from the first leg cannot be as a reference because usually home team will playing more good than away but if you so sure PSG will win then nothing wrong if you place your bets at them and the odds quite tempting

Yesterday's game was an amazing watch. Even Manchester united wasn't left out on the win and to be sincere, I was surprised at there performance. As usual, Ronaldo with J. Sancho to the rescue, the two new signings from the last transfer season. This Is to say that, the team is ready for a new manager as it is now. Someone more experienced and can pick up the pace from where they are now.
Chelsea on the other hand performed beyond my expectation. I thought the game was going to to a struggling one for both teams but, it was just Chelsea out there, proving whose boss. Good job team Tuchel.

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.

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

I know that Lukaku is a great player but maybe he is not having the right type of chemistry with the Chelsea squad. Even at his age, Lukaku is a really good goalscorer but this is also true that when he is not playing Chelsea tends to score better.

Ronaldo is on fire with Manchester United in Champions League. He scored many goals for them in Champions League and contributed a lot to bring the club to a next stage.

However, I disagree your opinion about Sancho. He did not have good performance so far and the goal yesterday is the first one he scored for Manchester United after 15 matches. It's not impressive.

Chelsea on the other hand performed beyond my expectation. I thought the game was going to to a struggling one for both teams but, it was just Chelsea out there, proving whose boss.

Chelsea did amazing job and took over the first position from Juventus. They are strong and they proved to all that they are Champions in Champions League.

Maybe I'm late, but my prediction is wrong. Man United won at home to Villareal. After going 4-1 up in the EPL I'm not sure about the UCL game against Villareal. But I was surprised the results were beyond my expectations. Winning 2-0 was good enough to debut carick at UCL. It looks like Carick has a different favorite player, Van de Beek, sancho, matrial appears as a stater. It seems that way it works, only the matrial that has not shown the best ability, until replaced Rashford. This result makes Man United qualified for the knockout phase.

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.

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.

The current Bayern Münich side is scary. More so, Barcelona will be going away. When you look at the parameters.. Its difficult for Barcelona to overturn the the tide. When last did Barcelona win at MÜNICH? Do they have match winners in the squad? Nope. Bayern won't have to go out of the first gear to slash them off. But let's look at what's at stake. Bayern are group leaders.. They don't need the win. Barcelona must not go to the Europa.
A star studded Barcelona couldn't do it...its this one.? They play good football under Xavi now but the X-factor isn't there. I totally agree with you..but this is Barcelona. The squad lacks goal scorers. Or is it Pedri that his best highlight is a side pass to Alba that will upset Bayern Münich.?

I was so confident that Manchester United will win the match. What Manchester United needed was Ole's exit. Even if it was me that led the team yesterday a win will come.
During Manchester United match vs Manchester City; I remembered when Manchester United used to play Manchester City with the likes of Martial, Rashford and Lingard and yet have good results.
Yet those guys were rotting on bench when Manchester United rubbished Manchester United.
It was then it became obvious to me that Manchester United woes was all about Ole.

Manchester City - PSG is the biggest game of the night I suppose. Manchester City are the leader with 9 points and PSG are at the second place being only one point behind. And they both are in a comfortable position in their group as their closest competitor Club Brugge are 4 points away from PSG. Their last game against each other ended by PSG's nice win by 2-0. It could be the revenge time for City. And this is a crucial game for them also as they will guarantee their lead in the group in case they win this. I can't wait to watch the game!

[tokeweed]

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

^  It could be Liverpool’s B team but including Salah.  So at the front it could be something like Minamino - Origi - Salah, midfield could be another B team but with either Milner or Ox Chamberlian or maybe both.  Not sure about the back 4.

But still, all in all I think Liverpool could still get a win.  Prolly 2 - 1, 3 - 1...  And if you want more value make it Liverpool to win and BTTS combo at 3.30.

It was not really working especially Van de Beek, he is supposed to replace Bruno Fernandes but he did not do his job well in the 1st half.
I would even say that he did nothing but it is reasonable enough as he is not as experienced as Bruno Fernandes to manage the attack.

It was then it became obvious to me that Manchester United woes was all about Ole.

Just because MU win the first game after Ole out?
The win does not represent that they are better without Ole but I do not mean that they are better with Ole.
My point is that, how they played is still not improved with Carrick.
I still see them play without a good strategy and good team work last night.

It's a fact that since Tuchel's arrival at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea becomes day by day (and game by game) better in all aspects of the game. Not even international or any other breaks can't affect them and that's Tuchel's achievement (besides all the others). At least for me, Chelsea this season looks more than capable and very strong favorite, to take the trophies from all the competitions and leagues that are participating. For sure there are teams like Bayern which can face Chelsea and win but with this form and the fully flexible automated strategies that Chelsea has shown, I found it very difficult to lose.
Still, as we all know, this is football and anything is possible...
