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

[jakdanyel]

We witnessed draws in both of the matches last night. Manchester United had a really big difficulty after conceding a goal first. Atletico Madrid are a great team when it comes to defending an advantageous score. But Manchester United still had very effective attacking players and finally they got the product of their effort in the 80th minute. Elanga has been one of the impressive players at Manchester United. He is a good talent and he scored this goal. And in the other match, Ajax drew with Benfica by 2-2 and they got what they wanted for sure. They would have won too but Benfica still resisted them well.

I thought Ajax would win this match. They have performed well enough. All in all it was an enjoyable match. Both teams have attacked a lot. Benfica's players made more shots but their attacks were erratic. Ajax, on the other hand, made a total of 11 shots, of which 8 were on target. However, I believe Ajax will win the home match even if they share the points in the away match.

I didn't follow the game, I didn't think it was beautiful and exciting
I have not followed Ajax anymore since the golden days of this team ended.
At the time it was scary, and facing it was a difficult race.
Today there are other teams that are much scarier.

[CryptoBuds]

It's a shame that Ajax scored an auto-goal in such an important match. If it wasn't for that mistake, I would have been sure they could have qualified for the quarterfinals. Although Benfica played as well as Ajax. Now they will have to try very hard in Amsterdam.

we also can't turn on the Haller, he tries really hard to look good. appear in Amsterdam later, ajax must be able to really play differently than in the 1st leg, they must be able to learn what mistakes make a "draw". yaremchuk is quite a difficult player, if there is no substitution, I'm sure ajax can pass easily.

We should not just blame Haller. Maybe he accidentally sent the ball into his own net. However, we cannot say that his performance in the entire match was bad. He played well. Tried a lot to score goals and bring victory to the team. Benfica's goalkeeper Vlachodimos played well, he saved 7 shots. Moreover, Benfica is not a weak team. It is not a shame to draw against them.

First leg on 16 round have been success and all team get result bad and good achievement and now have several weeks later take rest and build recovery for team got bad result on first leg to be better on second leg, still have chance I see for all participant on 16 round except Sporting Lisbon have looking for 6 goal from Manchester City on second leg, for other team I think have good chance and keep favorite with Real Madrid can get 2 goal on second leg for passing to the next stage on UEFA Champion League after first leg defeated by PSG 1-0 on last minutes.

[Cnut237]

Even Manchester United were in good touch but still manage to have only drawn which is also acceptable for them as now they are going to play second league at home which is surely going to have some good advantages for them because recently they are performing good and now with this draw they have bigger chance for qualifying into next round.

Too much talk about their form and consistency but in last few matches now they are giving some better results and their better results now bring them to fourth spot in English League and if they were able to win second league then surely it's going to be big booster for them and very positive impact on manager and players for giving better results in next matches.

I think Man Utd were very lucky to come away with a draw from that game. They were second-best by a long way. On this evidence (and also the evidence of United's poor performance in general this season), Atletico should be clear favourites to go through to the next round. And also domestically, I don't think there's much chance that United will finish in the top four.

Man united got lucky today they performed really badly atletico team was much better especially on the first half they scored early and they could've added more goals in the second half man united played a little better and they managed to equalize, the second leg will be difficult its tough to predict who will get through.

I have not seen a full game of Manchester United for quite some time until yesterday and i have to say i was quite surprised about how slow and uninspired they were performing yesterday. It really seems like they are quite a bit away of the best teams of their league like ManCity and Liverpool and also from the strongest team in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo did also perform very poorly yesterday but he also did not have much opportunities to show his class and therefore he also seemed to be quite unhappy yesterday. As you already said Manchester United was very lucky yesterday because they could have easily been 0-2 or even 0-3 behind before the half time break. Now they have good chances to advance into the next round, but of course they need to perform better in the second leg.

I personally don't believe in Real Madrid because even in the first leg yesterday, Real Madrid really didn't get any shots on goal at all. Maybe there are many other factors that will not make Real Madrid win even though they are playing at home, I personally believe that PSG will play better in defense and attack. Therefore, I personally believe the match will be a goalless draw or maybe PSG can win again with one goal, these two teams are full of old players but to be honest PSG have a better quality squad.

Last night was good for Manchester United and Ajax. They both got satisfying results before the rematches. It was a really difficult job for Manchester United to capture a draw against Atletico Madrid in their away game. But they made it by scoring in the last ten minutes. In Old Trafford, there is a really tough job waiting for Atletico Madrid but these are still not very far teams. So, we could see another competitive game there. And Ajax got a draw but I believe that they will demolish Benfica in their home game. They are very good at it when it comes to their home games especially.

I also think so after watching the 1st leg match, PSG played very well apart from the win that was won with a last minute goal. PSG can control the match well, they are superior in many ways and in my opinion PSG should be able to win more in the 1st leg if their players can maximize their chances well.
for the 2nd leg later I think PSG will also do the same thing so there is very little chance that Real Madrid can win, maybe I predict PSG will win again in the 2nd leg which will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Man United played very badly against Atletico and Man United can be said to be lucky to get a draw, even though Man United almost lost if Elanga
didn't score a goal in the 80th minute. Even though Man United had more control over the ball, but Atletico created more chances and Atletico should
have won the game. Atletico was not lucky in the first leg match, hopefully in the second leg Atletico can beat Man United, I have to admit that
Atletico's performance is much better. But Atletico will not easily beat Man United in the second leg, because Atlético will play away. Despite
Man United's poor form, but if they play at home, surely Man United players will have their own motivation to fight harder to win the game.
The second leg match will certainly run very hard and maybe the referee will issue a red card in the match.

Manchester did very well to savage a draw in their encounter with Atletico Madrid but I was not too impressed with Christiano Ronaldo performance last night, and I will also admit that Jordan Sancho has started to being Manchester key player,I love his efforts that he put in games and his skills always catches the eyes and Rangnick must  be praise for his tactical decisions for bringing in Elenga at the right time an he won them the game.

I think a 1-1 draw is not a good result for Manchester who play at home, of course with this result it will make it difficult for Manchester in the second leg later, I don't think if Athletico will be that easy to score a quick goal in the first half and frankly the line Manchester defense seems to be Rangnick main concern in the second leg, I think the creation of Atletico first goal could not be separated from Maguire mistake, cause failing to stop the movement of Joao Felix who was next to him.

The game was at Madrid, how can you say Manchester as the home team?
2nd leg will be held in Manchester so it should be an advantage for Manchester United.
1-1 is a good result for Man United, I'm sure most people agree with it but I have no idea why you say it is not that good.
Is it you or me who get the wrong information?

Manchester United have recently produced more from players coming off the bench. the last goals came from substitutes against Leeds United, namely Fred and Anthony Elanga and Elanga scored again against Atlético Madrid in the UCL. between these two clubs that will qualify, I think Manchester United.

[Distraction]

Manchester United didn't play well last night and they should still be thankful for drawing with Atletico Madrid, 1-1. Because by this level of performance, they would have definitely lost against a more powerful team. They are just lucky that Atletico Madrid's effort hasn't been much different than them. But it is still doubtful if they can make it to the next round of the CL. They must be aware of a fact that they are going to have to play much better than this in the rematch to have a big chance for eliminating their opponent.

It is very clear that this is a lesson and also a good evaluation for everyone at the Manchester United club, because if you still play in that way in the second leg match, I am also very sure that Manchester United will lose and cannot qualify for the knockout stages. The next CL, but if Manchester United are able to improve their performance in the second leg, maybe there are different things they will feel and qualify for the next CL round.

[D-law]

Having started with lindelof behind, I was thinking they're gonna take Harry Maguire off, but lindelof the better player was subbed off.
They didn't play good, Athletico Madrid had it all, they created more chances.
Good thing Elanga cane in to give us the draw.

[Slow death]

benfica 2 - 2 ajax

it was a big shock for me to see this result, i bet on ajax and i was confident that ajax would be able to win this game easily and they drew, honestly it doesn't even look like ajax, benfica is not a very strong team, they have difficulties in win when they play against strong teams from the portuguese league so they were supposed to lose in that game at least that was the analysis i did, i lost my money on that bet and my bankroll is reduced and even if i win the other two bets i wont be able to recover my bankroll and I will continue in the loss. it was a weekend with many losses and this game also lose

Manchester united 1 - 1 Atletico Madrid


this is a game in which i expected manchester united to win but from the way the game went it looked like atletico would win since they were in advantage but manchester united managed to tie the game and i think that in the next game manchester can win

[cryptofrka]

Good results for the guests yesterday, both Ajax and United can be happy with their performances. Elanga scored some pretty important goals for United in the last few games, he's using his minutes really well.

Atletico and Benfica will be happy that the away goal rule is scrapped, their chances would be decreased even further if it still counted.

Meanwhile - UEFA is holding an emergency meeting tomorrow because of the Russia - Ukraine conflict.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United got a good result in Wanda Metropolitano by 1-1. It was not easy though but it is still a good achievement for them. They have already opened the doors of the quarter finals slightly now. But they are not done and they are going to have another difficult game in Old Trafford. Because Manchester United's performance in this game didn't impress me to be honest. If they perform the same home too, then everything can happen at the end of that game. Atletico Madrid wouldn't forgive big mistakes.
