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

[DU18]

I don't think Real Madrid are out of the competition yet because Paris Saint Germain always has this tendency of losing when they have already win with a higher margin in the first leg of champions League matches,it has happened several times,I know Paris Saint Germain has talented and experienced players with the likes of Lionel Messi and Mbappe who just won the world cup and the very exceptional Brazilian Neymar but I still think real Madrid have quality too.

Real Madrid have pretty good statistics in the champions league, especially in the 2nd leg despite losing in the 1st leg. I think with a score of 1-0 it is not difficult for Madrid to score 2 goals at the Bernabeu in the 2nd leg later and I am optimistic Madrid was able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season. Madrid's front line may not have performed optimally, especially since Benzema has just recovered from an injury during the 1st leg against PSG, but in the 2nd leg he will appear in much better condition than the 1st leg.

Sometimes lets forget about the history because that era of players is gone and the new generation of players arent living up to these standards! Of course 1 goal can easily be turned around but at this point I think Real Madrid wont get to the other side and its about time we saw other teams win or progress.

I think this not forget about history but how Real Madrid team motivation on second leg, ever when the same cases happening Real Madrid defeated by Dortmund 1st leg with score 2-0 and Madrid success revenge on 2nd leg with score 3-0 and success trough to next stage. I think will have the same motivation for Madrid how to win on second leg with score above two goal and I believe Madrid still have chance qualify to the next stage on Champion League.

My predictions were not that bad, I honestly thought I had the Real Madrid vs PSG result correct, up until the last minute of the game. To be honest though, I thought watching the game PSG could have absolutely smashed PSG if they just had their shooting boots on. I must have counted about 3/4 chances were they should've scored, and had multiple open goals, there just wasn't players in the right area when they needed it. Real Madrid aren't going to get to the next round judging by that performance.

Even though in the second leg, Real Madrid will play at home, and play in front of their own public, but the chances for them to win the match are very slim, reflecting on their game the other day, they couldn't create chances, in fact they only played in their own area. , just to withstand the onslaught of PSG, Casemero's good fortune survived well, and several times managed to thwart PSG players, my prediction is that PSG will make it to the quarter-finals, and in the quarter-finals PSG will most likely be reunited with liferpol..

This is the 1 goal that PSG had against Real Madrid and it's Real Madrid's turn to host PSG at the Santiago Bernabeu, of course it's not easy considering that Real Madrid against PSG in the first leg was very difficult to create a dangerous opportunity against the Paris capital team, but for the match the second itself is not impossible for real Madrid because they will play in front of their own public considering that real Madrid has a huge experience in the Champions League maybe one goal is not a difficult thing for real Madrid to keep their hopes of qualifying for the top 8 of the champions league, but real Madrid also have to be careful with PSG's counter-attacks where PSG has a trio up front which is quite dangerous, which often troubles Real Madrid's defense, as happened in the first leg of the last 16 of the European Champions League.

I believe the Bayern players have given their best, even though the result was not as expected. Bayern in that match controlled the ball up to 72%
and took 22 kicks and 9 of them were on goal. It means not that Bayern didn't create chances, but as you said they were unlucky. So there were quite
a few opportunities created by Bayern, in the end only creating one goal, Bayern should have won by three goals. Actually the draw was quite
good, because Bayern played away. But because the team they are facing is Salzburg, whose quality of players is far below Bayern's, then
a draw is unacceptable for most people. I am optimistic that Bayern will pay for the disappointment of many people by beating Salzburg
in the second leg.

I also feel the same way about this. I was really disappointed when I saw the match. But Bayern really dominated the match no doubt. And I think it's acceptable if this was any other team, not Bayern.

But the thing is we expected Bayern Munich to not only win the match but also win by a big margin. So, it's understandable to be disappointed. But in the second leg, I really believe Bayern Munich is going to crush their opponent.

A draw does not add any chance to Salzburg. Bayern will crush them at the Allianz Arena. The problem is that those who bet on Bayern in the first match lost money and now, betting on the result of the second match, they will not be able to win it back, since the odds that bookmakers give for Bayern to win in the return match are only 1.18.

But some amount of money can be earned back, right? And it's not too bad if that can be done in my opinion. And I honestly believe Bayern Munich is going to win the next leg by a huge margin, at least a 3 goal difference. And it's also Bayern Munich's home match. So for the opponent, no chance.

That's right, it's not just once Real Madrid can turn things around in the second leg. But I also can't rule out that they did that a few seasons ago and for sure the situation is different from now.
But on the other hand I believe that Real Madrid still has that mentality, and the current generation is definitely motivated to go back to doing the same thing as Real Madrid did before. And I'm optimistic that they will.

"We never said we would win it. But we can compete and in three weeks we will be more competitive against PSG, no doubt about it," said Ancelotti.

indeed madrid today is not like madrid 5 years ago but madrid's chance is not over, there is still a second leg that awaits and madrid's chance to win in this second leg is quite large.

It is certain that the Madrid 2nd Leg will still be difficult for the PSG defense to penetrate. But what I believe from Madrid is a goalkeeper with tight goal-defense qualities. On the other hand, PSG may be able to penetrate the layers of the front, middle, and back, but not necessarily able to penetrate the Courtois defense. You can see when Messi's penalty is quite frustrating because it doesn't result in a goal.

[hyudien]

Yes, that's true, but Bayern Munich will also improve their way of playing in the second match because there is no club to be underestimated in the champions league this time because all of them will play very well in order to survive for the next round with the aim of winning the title this season.
Moreover, a club like Bayern Munich is also not a weak club in the Champions League and this has been seen very often in the Champions League the previous season.

I don't think Nagelsmann will stay silent after the draw in the first leg.
Bayern are one of the underdogs so it would be funny if they had a hard time at the start.
I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something that will definitely beat Sarzburg at Alianz in the second leg.
the possibility is still very high with this because it is clear that Bayern will attack sporadically.

[Alanaz]

I think this not forget about history but how Real Madrid team motivation on second leg, ever when the same cases happening Real Madrid defeated by Dortmund 1st leg with score 2-0 and Madrid success revenge on 2nd leg with score 3-0 and success trough to next stage. I think will have the same motivation for Madrid how to win on second leg with score above two goal and I believe Madrid still have chance qualify to the next stage on Champion League.

This is still most likely to happen on aggregate now it is only 1 goal and indeed there is still a chance in this case for Madrid.
Maybe in terms of the game in the first leg some time ago it was quite bad how they continued to be pressed with very large ball possession and continued attacks by PSG but on the other hand they are now playing at home which will certainly add motivation for Madrid now .
There were some surprises that happened in the UCL last season and now it's certain that there will be the same surprises I think

[Minecache]

Yeah salzburg is a tough opponent this season they really played well in the champions league they have beaten sevilla and many tough opponents they owe that draw not only to the defenders but to the goalkeeper who saved them on many occasions bayern defense is not doing well lately especially with neuer absence thats why they conceided that goal but in the end they will get the job done and qualify and i expect them to score many goals in the second match.

Yes, that's true, but Bayern Munich will also improve their way of playing in the second match because there is no club to be underestimated in the champions league this time because all of them will play very well in order to survive for the next round with the aim of winning the title this season.
Moreover, a club like Bayern Munich is also not a weak club in the Champions League and this has been seen very often in the Champions League the previous season.

Nobody expected Salzburg's result and it was a shocking result and also, Bayern Munich's problem is not about Neuer. The presence or absence of Neuer if Bayern Munich's defense is weak then Bayern Munich will still concede but indeed, Neuer is a great goalkeeper but that doesn't mean Neuer never makes mistakes. So yes, the problem at hand for Bayern Munich is not about the goalkeeper but rather a less than perfect finishing and also, Salzburg's good defense proved to be frustrating for Bayern Munich.

True. Salzburg really defended quite well in that match. I mean, with the Bayern Munich attack, they made some quite good chances. But they failed to score more than once. And for that, a lot of credit goes to the defense of Salzburg.
Obviously, Bayern Munich also made mistakes while finishing but they faced a stubborn defense of Salzburg. I think the next match is going to be absolutely different and Bayern will be ready for them.

They will not actually "improve" but more like play their real self. They are already good enough to beat anyone and very easily as well, so it is not a shock that they would be playing better than the first game for sure.

However, this will not be because they will get better or focus better or anything like that, the first game was the mishap and for some reason they just played not so well, on the second game they will probably play like their regular self and they are 10 times better than Salzburg to begin with so they will have no hard time beating them. Or maybe they will end up being horrible and end up losing the game and get eliminated, who knows?

I have started waiting for especially the Atletico Madrid - Manchester United game on the coming week. Because these teams are very similar to each other these days. Both of them are in an unreliable situation. But if we compare the performances in the Champions League so far, Manchester United impressed me more. Atletico Madrid are just trying to give importance to defense first. And this doesn't work all the time of course. And Manchester United have a very strong attacking line now. Atletico Madrid can have serious problems on defending them. Ronaldo's performance will be crucial for the team.

This Salzburg team is very exciting to watch,they remind me of the Ajax team that reach the semi final of the champions League, very young and vibrant players, seeing kids tormenting Bayern Munich defence was very funny,I think if they can knock Bayern out of the champions League which I believe they could then they have put there selves into transfer just like  De Jong, De lift and zeyich did at Ajax.

I personally will tend to be on the side of United at this time because I think Atletico now really have to make something new in their strategy.
Their performance decline is more drastic compared to the current MU.
for United's attack line and athletico maybe almost equal because these two clubs are still struggling in goal productivity but in midfield and back I think now MU is more stable than Atletico.

[Coyster]

And Manchester United have a very strong attacking line now. Atletico Madrid can have serious problems on defending them. Ronaldo's performance will be crucial for the team.

I really would not call manchester United's attack force very strong, i can agree that they actually do have quality players upfront, but they are not at their best this season, Ronaldo has been trying his best to push the team forward and i must say he has scored some really important goals that have recued united from further woes, but i'm afraid he can't do it alone.

Having said that, Athletico Madrid v Manchester United somewhat seems unpredicable to me, i cannot really pick one side, Manchester United are very much erratic, you could possibly feel they ought to come out and win, but they would do the opposite. Anyway  i would go with Athletico Madrid if i am asked to pick a team to go through, i feel they might have what it takes to edge united.

[darxiaomi]

So Nantes a little team compared to the Real Madrid can made 3 goals to P$G but the Real Madrid with all his stars choose to play extremely defensive and dont shoot one shoot at goal.

Its unbelivable, how you can be so mean.
And you really play bad Real dont receive more goal that day only for luck and his goalkeeper.

[baeva]

I think the Bayern players themselves were a little shocked during the game that they couldn't score and convert their chances... After such a difficult match, and even a draw, they will be furious and angry, so I think they won't leave a chance in the next Salzburg game... But maybe Salzburg will be ready for it again, however, I don't believe that Salzburg will go out in the 1/4...

Bayern was almost defeated, luckily Coman scored in the minute 90'. ...snip

Bayern Munich have not been in their best of forms lately, they lost 2 of their last 5 matches, I am sure that affected their overall performance and it is a champions league match so Salzburg had to play their best and  defend very well. I am hoping bayern Munich will be looking to get the job done in the second leg but I am sure Salzburg wouldn't make it an easy win for Bayern Munich, Bayern will have to earn it.

Yes, the last-minute goal really saved Bayern from the loss, at least they could make a draw match. Well, even a big club, will probably experience bad things during the match, being in the lower condition, and also other factors. Let's see what will make Bayern rise up again, to win their opponent in the next leg in which the game will be held in Bayern stadium. It should give more spirit for that club to win the match. But once more, a match is sometimes very unpredictable.

No one had seen this result coming in Bayern's law match, but when it was 1-0, 1-1 seemed to be the most obvious score. Bayern are lucky they didn't lose, otherwise it might be a chore in Munich. Then, for example, 2-1 would not be enough. After this 1-1 draw, even a goalless draw would suffice, but Bayern are not a team that will play at 0-0. They go full for the win from the 1st minute to quickly build in certainty to the next round. 0-0 for too long is risky.

Exactly Salzburg is not really difficulty to defeat by Bayern on 1st leg on UEFA Champion League but have different situation where Bayern  Munich save by Kingsley Coman on last minutes when game ended with his only one goal. I think still have chance on 2nd leg for Bayern Munich to beat Salzburg but they need how to play aggressive and must be able to score goals in the early minutes of the game. Bayern should at least be able to take advantage of the status of playing as home to achieve a convincing victory in the 2nd leg against Salzburg and at least have to be able to score goals in the early minutes.

No doubt!. They have corrected what makes them not win. Furthermore in-home, Munchen has predicted to win at least 2 goals, several predicted won with 80% chance, while Salzburg under 10%. but everything can happen, we don't know what strategy Salzburg uses for the next 2 weeks if possible make the surprise if can hold the draw, they will create new achievements in the champions league.
