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

[Rockstarguy]

Some times I wonder, if Lionel Messi is ever going to adapt and fit in the PSG team just as it was for him in Barcelona. With all things being equal, I think he has been with the club for far too long to prove his starship. Today's PSG 1-0 Real Madrid was a good game and as a Real Madrid supporter, they played good but still at a disappointing lose. I really wish this kind of fixture was what we had in the finals.
We still have Manchester City though and today, they very much whipped SportingCP. I almost thought they were out just to entertain.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo just can't cheat nature, this is all about Messi and not Ronaldo...but Kylian Mbappe has shown he's the perfect fit for the replacement of Messi and Ronaldo in big games like this.
Honestly speaking, the best side was PSG, Real Madrid came for less you could see how they played diamond in the first half of the game.
Manchester City are just undisputable and unshakeable, winning with too many goals and keeping a clean sheet, forget it zero caps, Pep Guardiola's team is the best in the world.
I see them both facing each other, Parish Saint Germans against Manchester City.

1-0 is a poor result. I enjoyed the game, it was a spectacle and pleasure to see how well psg played. It should have just been 3 or maybe 4-0 and then it's done. Now with 1-0 nothing is certain. Mbappe is match winner, but somehow also had a huge chance of the shoe he missed. And another ball curled just wide. Actually, it wasn't mbappe's day at all, until the 94th minute

The match between psg and Madrid was an interesting one. Both teams played well but it was as if psg was not lucky but in the end luck came back through Mbappe. Checking about individual performance, Messi performed very well. I really think that Benzema was not fit for the match but thanks to him too.
The return leg will be now interest as Madrid will not be relaxed at all.
Till tomorrow I still respect Neymar, he is a mover of the ball and a game changer

[snipie]

Yes, Man city was a huge favorite to win the match. Still, it would have been nicer if there had been a little more tension in the game. PSG's match against Madrid was great, despite only having 1 goal. I've never seen madrid pushed back so often and so little getting out. Then you also see how good psg is. I'm putting my money on Madrid to continue, they might soon play in a packed Bernabeu, that's a witch's cauldron and PSG has often been vulnerable this season. City? yes 0-5 won and at home I also think around 5-0.

City decided to play with its second squad in the second leg so it nuked Sporting badly tonight
For PSG - Madrid game, it was like PSG attacking and Real defending. What everyone understood from that tactic is that Real Madrid wanna get a draw at any cost then they will win in the second leg! A wonderful tactic really...
Meanwhile, Messi needs a fresh factory reset to return working normally..

You may expect a lot of goals in the match but I never expect many goals and I even thought the game will end up with no goal at all until when Mbappe do the magic when the game is almost end and I don't think it will be fair if you say Mbappe alone os the match winner when the job is not only done by him not to mention Neymar that did a perfect assisting job.

[tygeade]

PSG obviously is going to be under more pressure than Real Madrid. and I also think that PSG is going to give it their all to win in this match because they don't have the pressure of their own League as they are almost surely going to win the league.

But Real Madrid has their  La Liga title to think about and it will also be really disappointing to see any of these teams getting knocked out. But I really believe that PSG has more of a point to prove than Real Madrid because they uh have been really inconsistent in the league despite of having great players in the squad.

I feel like if Real manages to beat PSG on this round, then they could say good bye to Mbappe. He will 100% think that if Real could beat PSG without him and even against him, imagine the difference if he switched sides? That would be a great type of pressure on PSG as well as trying to win the UCL as well. This is not just about lifting the trophy, it is also about losing their best player as well.

In the end they will play with their heart out there, but if they manage to fail and lose then it is going to be long time until they could be this good again. They are a rich team and could buy another star level player but doubtful if that player would be as good as Mbappe.

Looks like it was your first time watching Champion's League. How is 1-0 with a clean sheet at home a poor result?

All PSG have to do is to at least score a goal at the Bernabéu, and Real Madrid have to score a minimum 3 goals to avoid getting eliminated. You think it's an easy task?

[joker_josue]

Sporting facing Man City would always be a thankless task. They have fantastic players, who know how to play as a team, it's probably the best team in Europe right now. Despite Sporting even trying to do some interesting things, Man City players simply had the whole game under control and easily managed to score goals.

And once again Bernardo Silva played a fantastic game, with two goals scored. He received high praise from Guardiola, saying: "He is perfect with the ball. He scored a fantastic goal, and for him to return to Lisbon and beat a rival like that is special to him. The country has to be proud of him for what he has done. He doesn't just play, he understands the game."

Normally it's a great score in two leg games but considering they found too many positions and never give any, yeah we can say that outcome is pretty poor. We should've seen two or three goals lead. Parking the bus clearly didn't work this time. If Messi scored that penalty we might watch a different game but when it stuck in goalless draw then Ancelotti didn't need to change their tactic. That cost them a loss eventually. I wonder what kind of tactic will they use in second game.

The Supporter still hopes Lionel is the same person in Barcelona, always creating the goal when touching the ball, Penalty never missed and very impressive on the front, but is not much expected in PSG, Because the club has a different atmosphere and each player has the skill different with his club before. I believe he still needs time to match for each other because he has been a dozen years in Barcelona. Last night, he missed again and was labeled as the most missed pinalty,

Messi is just disappointing at Psg at the moment. Everyone and himself had expected much more from it. Perhaps there was too much pressure on him. With Mbappe in the squad, it might also be difficult to be the best player on the field. I think Mbappe might be the best player in the world, and tonight he showed why. That action with the 1-0 was unparalleled, 2 defenders from Madrid sent into the woods and perfectly rounded.

[qory]

We are short on Messi to say that Mbappe is the best player in the world. He is still too young to be compared to Messi. Look what kind of records Messi has set (together with Ronaldo). especially together they are very valuable to this Psg team and they can use both well in the return in Madrid in 2 weeks. Madrid will go all out on that. I think it could be a small result again, but there could also be a goal rain shower. It also depends on what the weather is like. Tonight the weather was bad, it seemed.

[CryptocurencyKing]

PSG finally got what they were entitled to throughout the game, 3 points. It seemed for a long time to go 0-0, but in the 94th minute still made it 1-0. That feels even better than winning by penalty. Messi, in particular, will be relieved, as it looked for a long time that his missed penalty was going to be crucial with the 0-0 draw for a very long time. Nothing is lost for Real Madrid yet.

ya.ya.yo!

It was an interesting game even though the goal margin isn't the high. Aside that late-winner goal from Mbappe, one if the key talking points would be that Messi's missed penalty. If Mbappe didn't score, I'm sure Messi would be blamed. While I'm not a PSG fan, I would really like if PSG can win Madrid in the return leg or at the very least, ein on aggregate. These PSG boys deserve to go ahead - compete and then win the UCL.

The game between PSG and Madrid was a very good game the two teams played as if today was the final of the game. I expected the game to end in a goal less draw but when I heard that penalty whistle I knew that the unexpected has happened but I was astonished when Messi missed the penalty.thank God for a late powerful strike from mbappe if not for his goal,Messi would be the topic of discussions all of the world.three points well deserved for Paris Saint German.  

Absolutely, PSG did play very well in that game, they' were in control of the game from first half till the last minute. I enjoyed the game, the combinations between Verratti, Messi, Mbappé and Neymar were beautiful.
PSG they as team very solid at the back, very decisive in the middle and very sharp going forward. Am very impressed.  PSG were actually good today and that Mbappé goal is brilliant, he makes those actions against low blocks every week yet keeps getting criticized for not performing against them. With more goals attempt, T. Courtois did pretty well but at the end Mbappe showed that he knows how to do better.

Messi is probably the most efficient player in the history of soccer. The physical input during the games is often times pretty low, but the output is absolutely insane. His mind games, his creativity and ideas to solve complex situations or create rooms and chances for his teammates, his free kick efficiency, then hit quick dribbling and passes out of nowhere. The guy is still absolutely crazy. Nobody saw the first chance of Mbappe coming in this game when Messi overplayed the defense with a single pass out of a sudden and Mbappe was alone in front of Courtois. Nobody could have played that pass, really nobody. Messi does things that the opponents can't anticipate. Combined with Mbappe's speed, Messi's pass control is an absolute weapon. Even if he won't score 40+ goals a season anymore, I would still love to have him on my team for sure!

Mbappe's single goal made Messi very lucky in the PSG vs Madrid match, failed to execute a penalty I think Messi made a pretty fatal mistake plus a pretty bad performance in that match. The inclusion of Neymar made PSG's attack even more varied and work with Mbappe paid off in the last minute through Mbappe's only goal. I think Madrid also played pretty badly in this match without a single shot at PSG. Although there is still a 2nd leg, but it still holds a big question mark if Madrid perform like last night's performance it is very difficult to restore a 2 goal advantage.

We still have Manchester City though and today, they very much whipped SportingCP. I almost thought they were out just to entertain.

PSG played very well last night, PSG was able to control the game for 90 minutes of the match, PSG was also able to make 9 shots that were right on goal, Real Madrid was made powerless, mbappe continued to tear apart the Real Madrid defense, in the 62nd minute mbappe was violated in in the penalty box, but unfortunately messi who is believed to be the executor is not able to carry out his duties properly, Messi's penalty can be read by couricus, good luck in injury time mbappe was able to break into the Real Madrid goal, after mbappe managed to trick 2 real Madrid players, in the leg second later PSG only need a draw, in the second leg PSG will also be able to play well Messi and my friends are sure to advance to the quarter-finals.

With the way things are going,it is becoming clear that PSG and Mancity and Bayern are champions league tittle contenders,looking at the way Mancity humiliated sporting last night.It really showed that they are targeting the tittle,and Pep Guardiola won't want to be embarrassed  at the final again,so even if Mancity wouldn't have won if they get to the final,giving the tittle to Guardiola will be the motivating factor.

[ropyu1978]

PSG's match against Madrid was great, despite only having 1 goal. I've never seen madrid pushed back so often and so little getting out. Then you also see how good psg is. I'm putting my money on Madrid to continue, they might soon play in a packed Bernabeu, that's a witch's cauldron and PSG has often been vulnerable this season. City? yes 0-5 won and at home I also think around 5-0.

Mahrez, Silva, Foden and Sterling became the heroes of Manchester City's victory over Sporting CP with a 0-5 suspension, this is a fantastic victory, with this victory Manchester City can be confirmed that they can advance to the quarter-finals, even though there is a second leg but no maybe sporting cp can turn things around, especially in the second leg Manchester city will play at home, congratulations to Manchester city because it can be confirmed that you will step into the quarter-finals of the prestigious league..

[hahay]

Wow, PSG totally dominated the match but as usual, they are still hard to score and also, Messi is still barren here for failing to score from a penalty kick. Real Madrid almost managed to hold this match to a draw, but finally Mbappe managed to score a goal at the end of the match. In the second leg, I'm sure PSG will only play defensively with a counter-attack which may become very dangerous which makes Madrid difficult to win.

The result shows that Sporting's quality is still far away behind Man City. Playing in their own stadium, conceded by 5 goals and failed to score a goal. No chance for Sporting in the 2nd leg and I think Man City will not play with a full team in the 2nd leg, maybe they will rest some of their key players. On the other match, PSG dominated Madrid so much. So many goals attempts but they could score 1 goal only in the last minute of the additional times. Afaik the odds for PSG was around 1.9, lucky to those who were brave enough to bet on PSG.
