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

[hd49728]

Slightly off the mark in Chelsea's goal tally, but it's good that they won in the end. I think Chelsea can win this match by more than 2 goals but it doesn't matter because 2 goals is not too bad to face the second leg in France.

2 goal difference is enough for Chelsea. They will be able to secure it and end with final win against Lille. Tuchel is doing his job well with Chelsea in Champions League. Will he bring Chelsea to another title, the second title in a row and a third one in their history. Will Chelsea become the second club can protect Champions League title after Real Madrid?

Regarding the result of the Villareal vs Juventus match I already suspected that a draw was a good choice even though Juventus looked to be the favorite. I watched this match for a while in the first half and I really saw Villareal playing well despite conceding early.

For me, the big odds are sometimes a trap to lose money more easily in bets and small odds are usually quite promising even though the win is not worth the stake.

Vlahovic has a good debut with a goal in 33rd second but then Juventus lost control and almost gave Villareal many time and space to play what they want. Even after Bonucci appears, he can not help Juventus defense to play better. They should feel very happy to end it as a draw. This pair is opened for both clubs and I would like to see Juventus to go next because they are only hope of Serie A in Champions League. Inter Milan are facing with impossible mission after a big loss against Liverpool in the first leg.

Low scoring affairs in both matches. With Chelsea being huge favorites to win, they managed to get 2 goals, 1 in each half. Even though Lille had 15 attempted shots, they could only keep 2 on target which were saved by Mendy. In the other match, I was honestly expecting Juve to win, especially after their 1st goal in 1 min. Villarreal kept their composure and possession and managed to equalize in the 2nd half. Interesting to see if Villarreal can score at Juve's home as that would be necessary if they hope to continue further into the competition.

Chelsea couldn't relax after beating Lille in the 1st leg last night, because Chelsea are still waiting for a difficult match at the weekend, they will face liferpol in the carabou cup final, actually the hero of Chelsea's victory is Mendy, because Mendy is able to show his magic under the crossbar One of the most important saves was in the 36th minute. Mendy deserves an appreciation. He was branded at a low price but his performance under the crossbar cannot be doubted.

Villareal was able to comeback somehow in the second half but wasnt able to win the match. Juventus had some chances to score but didnt and they go with a solid result home. I think at home they will win for sure and go into the next round of the champions league.

I think Juventus will win big against Villarreal after Vlahovic scored immediately at the start of the match. It turned out that Villarreal's players might
just lose concentration in the early minutes of the match, and finally Villarreal managed to score  a goal in the 66th minute. Actually the game of
the two teams was fairly even, Villarreal only slightly superior, but the chances of both teams were almost the same. In my opinion, Juventus will benefit
from this draw, because in the second leg Juventus will play at home. So Juventus chances are bigger than Villarreal, but Villarreal is not an easy team
to beat, so Juventus still have to play carefully. As long as Juventus can play discipline in the second leg, Juventus should be able to beat Villarreal.

I actually support Juventus to win, but when I look at all statistics for both clubs before the match, I bet for draw. and, my guess is it's exactly right, but unfortunately, I didn't bet for guessing the score.
I believe that quick goal in minute 1 made Villareal be careful to keep defense and attempt to counterattack but still unable to take several opportunities. finally, they did it on minute 66. In leg 2, I guess it will draw again, but when Juventus can take advantage of the situation as host, possible they can win with a tight different goal (1-0).

It is very likely that the second leg of the Juventus vs Villarreal match will end in a draw again and could end in a penalty shootout, if we look
at the gameplay both are almost the same. Because Juventus are playing at home and also the possibility that Juventus will take the initiative
to attack directly from the start of the match, so I would predict Juventus will beat Villarreal in the second leg. Villarreal have to keep their
defense well, because we know Juventus have Dusan Vlahovic who has very good finishing. Vlahovic doesn't need many chances to score,
Unai Emery has to give instructions to Pau Torres or Raul Albiol marking Vlahovic tight. Villarreal is also likely to play defensively and take
advantage of counter-attacks to score goals. I can imagine the game will be tight in the second leg, because both teams will definitely fight to win,
in order to qualify for the next round.

Not good enough result for Juventus because match between Villareal only draw 1-1 although Dusan vlahovic scored faster goal on UEFA Champion Leagues last night but Juventus have held by Villareal. Juventus not have really impressive performance on 1st leg and draw is not guarantee easy for second leg for Juventus. Still have 50% or the same chance between Juventus or Villareal on second leg because not prohibited again with goal home or away after UEFA change goal rule.

The success of Juventus being able to score a goal at home to Villarreal will greatly help Juventus to face the second match at home. The goal scored by striker Dusan Vlahovic who had just been recruited in the 32nd second of the first half did not make the mentality of the Villarreal players fall. Juventus is not bad, but facing Villarreal at home is not an easy job.

Chelsea got the result that many predicted, yes they won the first leg match over LOSC. While Juventus had to settle for a draw, their quick goal did not give them victory over Villarreal. Villarreal played very well, they were able to remain calm even though they were surprised by Juventus' super-fast goal. Even so I see the game of the two teams is quite balanced, so they deserve this result.

Chelsea's victory over Lille was predictable since the match had not started where they would easily win over the French representative and the result was true where Chelsea managed to beat Lille with a score of 2-0 through goals scored by Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic respectively. -8th and 63rd minutes respectively, while Juventus and Villarreal's match was also not a surprising result where they managed to share the points 1-1 even though Juventus took the lead with Dusan Vlahovic's quick goal in the 1st minute before finally being equalized by Dani Parejo in the minute to -66 which at the same time allowed Juventus to breathe a little easier because in the second match they will play at their home base at the Olimpico Turin,

Juventus this season's performance has decreased compared to last year, both in the Champions League and in Serie A. Although Juventus managed to score a goal very quickly, but in the end the opposing team managed to reply. I think it's difficult for Juventus to qualify for the next round even though it's only the first leg, by looking at the game's performance.

[hahay]

Dusan Vlahovic managed to make history with a quick goal on the European stage and not only that, this was also his first goal in Europe or more precisely in the UCL. Because, this is also the first match in the UCL for Dusan Vlahovic and he managed to make a good record but unfortunately, with that quick goal it was still not enough to make Juventus win. As previously predicted that this match will allow both teams to score goals, but considering this quick goal Juventus should have kept it or could have scored an additional goal but that didn't happen.

It was a wonderful win to boost their confidence going into Sundays final against Liverpool. Good performance putting them into a good position for the 2nd leg. Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz were electric in attack. Also Masterclass from N'golo Kante and Thiago Silva. Best 2 individual performances I have seen from them in a while. Two goals and a clean sheet absolutely clinical performance. Started the game really well with the high pressing & movement upfront. Somehow the team performs better without Lukaku. Ruben Loftus Cheek was very impressive. Hope the injuries to Ziyech & Kovacic aren't serious so they can return against Liverpool.

The goal scored by striker Dusan Vlahovic who had just been recruited in the 32nd second of the first half did not make the mentality of the Villarreal players fall. Juventus is not bad, but facing Villarreal at home is not an easy job.

Dusan Vlahovic goal which was created in the 32nd second included a historic goal in the Champions League stage. Dusan Vlahovic became the third player to score in the first minute of his first game in the Champions League.
Vlahovic goal failed to give Juventus victory, because Villarreal hit back in the 66th minute to change the score to (1-1) until the game was over. The draw (1-1) makes Juventus and Villarreal both have a great chance to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals, because the away goals (aggregate) a system is no longer valid, so Juventus has no advantage with this goal at home Villarreal.

Since the departure of Ronaldo Juventus had not been a formidable team in Europe, though before Ronaldo left they had not lifted UCL trophy but are always playing well both in domestic and Europe, I think Villarreal will try to win the second leg in Turin even now that the away goal rule had been scrape, congratulations to Vlahovic for scoring a spectacular goal within some seconds at the beginning of the match, this youngster career will flourish having gaining experience of playing in UCL at his early age.

[Oluwa-btc]

I would be disappointed to see Manchester United lossing tonight's fixture against Athletico Madrid.
All of the premier league sides have won their respective games without having a single goal conceded and keeping clean sheet.
There's a bit uncertainty, as I think Manchester United can't win comfortably without conceding.

Dusan Vlahovic managed to make history with a quick goal on the European stage and not only that, this was also his first goal in Europe or more precisely in the UCL. Because, this is also the first match in the UCL for Dusan Vlahovic and he managed to make a good record but unfortunately, with that quick goal it was still not enough to make Juventus win. As previously predicted that this match will allow both teams to score goals, but considering this quick goal Juventus should have kept it or could have scored an additional goal but that didn't happen.

I thought that Dusan Vlahovic's quick goal in the first minute could inspire the spirit and composure of the game carried out by Juventus players but that didn't happen, precisely after going behind Villarreal could control the game well and make a return goal in the 66th minute which was created by Dani Parejo. Villarreal dominated the whole game but it was a shame that the two Villarreal strikers failed to take advantage of opportunities and create goals.
these two teams are very balanced I think the second leg will also be fierce and it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the next phase.

[cryptofrka]

I expected Chelsea to win easily against Lille and result-wise they did, but the game was more open than it looks at first glance. I was watching it because Liverpool play Chelsea in the cup final on Sunday and I wasn't impressed with Chelsea at all.

I feel they are in a downward spiral, they allowed Lille to arrive into dangerous zones quite often and couldn't keep possession well enough. They also had Kovačić and Ziyech come out with injuries so it remains to be seen whether they will be ready for the weekend.

In leg 2, I guess it will draw again, but when Juventus can take advantage of the situation as host, possible they can win with a tight different goal (1-0).

The second match will come, definitely possible Juventus will win Villarreal, Villarreal are good to some extent, this year is not that good for Juventus as Ronaldo left the club, but they are getting back now, I can not take that match to be won by Juventus because I am not very confident of Juventus especially in away match unlike before but home match will most likely favor the club.

I expected Chelsea to win easily against Lille and result-wise they did, but the game was more open than it looks at first glance. I was watching it because Liverpool play Chelsea in the cup final on Sunday and I wasn't impressed with Chelsea at all.

What everyone will be expect and what actually happened, 2 - 0, even at home Lille will still also find it hard and Chelsea will qualify into the next stage. There are some clubs we know they can not go that far in UCL, I was surprised Lille maje it to round of 16.

Both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid has not been in their best forms for a while now. Infact, Manchester United is appearing to be better because they are looking to be improving but not consistent but Atletico Madrid is appearing more bad.
Nevertheless, this is champions league and not league title race, they may put up a different ball game tonight that will surprise everyone. So, it is a match to watch, meanwhile the emphasis or the goal is not for Manchester United to play clean sheet. The expectation is for Manchester United to qualify by winning, no matter what margin.

Of course i win my bet.

it was so obvious that the altitude was very low, 1.30
Chelsea won against poor Lille who couldn't do otherwise, the difference was too obvious

I would have been happy to lose my 3 euros for an exciting Lille match, but unfortunately the percentages were very low

This game is very clear that Chelsea will win it, there is no doubting that because this season Lille have been in poor form.
bet choose Chelsea win at 1.30 odds I think it's not worth it, it's better to give -1.5 points at 1.98 odds is a very right choice. i have done it and won my bet.
Chelsea really deserved to win even I think if they can maximize their chances they will win more.

Juventus drew in the visit to Villarreal (1-1), in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League. This was the surprise result of the night, and I think I can say it, from this round of Champions League games so far. It is true that today's games are still missing, but this tie is quite surprising. I think everyone expected a little more from Juventus.

Villareal showed great attitude and congratulations. As the coach said: "We weren't afraid of Juventus and we showed maturity."

[bering]

Fast goal from Juventus doesn't make Villareal panic and they can manage their performance till the end of match and draw results is deserved for both of teams seems the goal from Vlahovic could be the fastest goal for champion league competition during this season however as i predicted Villareal very though for home match and pick draw results as my bet for this match seems very good choice
