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

[babo]

Three days to go for the Real Madrid - PSG game. PSG are keeping their advantage as they won the first game by 1-0. Real Madrid are still a very strong team and one of the candidates for the title also. I expect them to play really great in their home game this time. They would play fearlessly against PSG and wouldn't like to give up on the Champions League easily. They are a very experienced team in this tournament which is a big threat to PSG. But we will see if this experience will really help them advance to next round.

Hopefully, I wouldn't have bet on PSG in the previous match, but now I think it's a likely candidate to beat the Real Madrid tank.
Let's hope it's a good match.
I also expected Real Madrid to draw strength on the experience, but it did not happen.

I dont see so many people here talking about of the injury of Ronaldo.
Seems like they save him for the UCL game against Atletico, if Cristiano dont play, i think Manchester United its out of the contest.
The manchester seem to play good whitout him , but in this kind of games you need the UCL man and his goals, more against the Atletico.

It was not only the injury factor that overshadowed the players, one of which was Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe they wanted to go further in the UCL competition considering that Manchester United only drew in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon, moreover Atlético Madrid is a Spanish giant that Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends should be wary of considering that Atletico Madrid often surprises them in their away matches.one of which is in the BBVA league match against Real Betis, maybe it can be a motivation when they meet Manchester United in old Trafford, thus making Rangnick rest his players to face Atletico Madrid

Big game anyone will watch this match.
PSG of course already have 1 goal in the first leg and Real Madrid must take advantage at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid is stronger then it has a chance to qualify in the next round, because the match will definitely be balanced but I don't think it will end in a draw.
There is a possibility that I also bet on Real Madrid the Real Madrid squad will work hard to score more goals and to be honest I'm really looking forward to this match.

I have tickets for the 2nd leg @ Anfield for tomorrow, LFC vs Inter. Will be good to get back to Anfield on a European night, always the best atmospheres. I expect us to safely navigate in to the 1/4 finals. This is when the competition starts to get serious.

Should be smooth sailing tomorrow - we have a good result, are a much better team, they are in a slump in form and need to concentrate on the league and their most influential player (Barella) is suspended.
Still - they did cause us some problems in the 1st leg and we need to address those.

The main question for tomorrow is whether Salzburg can shock Bayern. They were close to it in the 1st game, they will have even more space to counterattack in Germany.

I wish you a good time LFC_Bitcoin, I think you will enjoy the victory of Liverpool and advance to the next stage! I expect a spectacle and goals on both sides, Inter will not just give up and after the debacle in the first game I think they will manage to score at least one goal, but I think Liverpool goes further and it's definitely a favorite in this game!

Salzburg can hardly shock Bayen in the middle of Munich! They were close in the first game and even managed to play a draw, but it's still Bayern, I think they will beat Salzburg tomorrow!

Liverpool to win and both teams to score, Bayern vs Salzburg 1 - 1!

We really hope that in the next match of UCL Man United vs Atletico Madrid, Hopefully, Ronaldo can play again in excellent condition and completely healthy. Ronaldo's absence certainly had a big impact on Man United.

I also hope the same, Ronaldo must play in the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid. If Man United cannot release Ronaldo, I suspect Man United will be defeated again with big scores. We must be aware if Atletico Madrid has been playing better lately, they even can beat Betis with 2 goals difference. Man United will be in trouble if Ronaldo is still injured.

Cristiano Ronaldo, yes that name is always mentioned when the team he strengthens will play in the Champions League. I think that the burden is felt on Ronaldo's shoulders, especially now that Manchester United which he plays for is not a good team overall. I think the fans are just hoping for him to come into the game, at least there is hope when he plays in the Champions League with all his experience.

I think that Bayern Munich and Liverpool are already one of the qualifiers for the quarter finals now. I remember that Bayern Munich had a really big difficulty in getting a draw against Salzburg in the first leg. But this shouldn't be misleading at the same time. Because there is a huge power difference between these teams. And in Allianz Arena, I'm sure that Bayern Munich will prove my words right. And Liverpool already sealed the deal in Giuseppe Meazza by 2-0. There is no way they are losing in Anfield.

Liverpool are qualifiers already but that of Bayern Munich can't be certain, as for Liverpool's their form currently are top notch and they also have the goal difference advantage and a good record at Anfield so it's unlikely for them to lose. While Bayern Munich are superior to Salzburg but still lets not forget too soon that they almost lost their first game against Bayern until they equalized at the last minute of the game.

What is been played here is football and there's no assurance of one team defeating the other not minding their playing power. Bayern Munich need to come into this game like the losing side and fight from the very first minutes to get as many goals as possible and they should be early to kill what ever motivation Salzburg has coming into the games. Anything that make the first half to end draw or goalless then Bayern Munich has a problem.

Yeah, it is football and everything can happen any time. But I just approached to the situation from a different aspect. I think that Bayern Munich wanted to play safe and that's why they struggled to get a decent result. Salzburg could even beaten them by 2-0 if Adamu didn't miss literally an absolute goal chance. I really don't have any idea why Bayern Munich chose to play like that. But in the rematch, I'm expecting to see a completely different team. Normally Salzburg are no match for them and I believe that they will prove me right here.

Ronaldo has injury that is why he didn't play against City. What is the essence or the reason to save Ronaldo for champions league when man u is not sure that they can come to the same champions league next season. Manchester United chances of being in the top4 become slimmer after their woeful loss against Manchester City. If we are talking about the champions league we should understand that things are changed now. Many things don't work as we expect again

If christiano Ronaldo don't play the game against atletico it may really affect Manchester united,  I don't think if Manchester will easily win the game. Ronaldo been Manchester united is affect the team positively. Do not if the injury he is having will keep him long not to participate in to matches around the corner.

congratulations without a doubt it will be very exciting to watch the game live, I hope that one day I will also have the opportunity to watch liverpool play in the champions league live


Bayern Munich - Salzburg

Bayern Munich will have difficulties once again when playing against Salzburg, Salzburg was an unstoppable team in the Austrian championship, they will be a big obstacle to Bayern Munich that this season has not been a team to win games constantly and has not managed to score many goals constantly

It's a huge burden for Ronaldo to bear when fans expect something from him. Manchester United is still slumped in terms of performance, it is quite difficult to say Manchester United can beat Atletico at Old Trafford. But if it happened thanks to Ronaldo single goal or Ronaldo contribution was very good, it would be Manchester United's victory, but if United lost, Ronaldo himself would bear the burden.

Bookmakers are not giving even any chance for Salzburg as it seems. Bayern Munich have an odd around 1.15 while Salzburg are having around 15 now. And I understand why they are underestimating Salzburg too. Because Bayern Munich didn't show their real strength against Salzburg. They just wanted to keep it for the second leg. And we will definitely see it in this game. Salzburg should have won the first leg somehow to have more chance for next round. But they have not much right now. It would have been epic if they eliminated Bayern Munich. I'm talking like it has already ended because I believe it has.  

[tulusikhlas]

Bayern Munich will try to get a win from Salzburg in order to qualify for the next round. Yes they managed to be held to a draw in the first meeting, a result that I did not predict.
But in this second leg I don't think they will miss this, although Bayern Munich's recent form has been unstable, I still believe they will be able to win in 90 minutes of the game.

[Pokapoka124]

Watching the first game between Paris St German and Real Madrid I came away with the feeling Madrid lacked quality and talent. However, with the likes of luka Modric and Karim Benzema Madrid can change a game in an instant. At the bernabeu as well, the French team will have to make sure their defences are not deterred by the cacophony of the spanish fans. Look out for the super star duo of mbappe and messi to lye dormant until the moments ready. Casimero and Veratti to be booked for you betting fans . Also this week, man united v athletico madrid will be a tense battle of chances missed, both teams lack real quality to win the champions league; therefore each decision on the pitch will be analysed. Other than that, City will dominate lisbon at the emptyhad, slazburg try to upset bayern liverpool and inter will battle it out in anfield, i see no real upset here with liverpool in fine form.

I see no upset for the Bayern, Liverpool and City games. Those fixtures seems settled already. The fixture for the week is certainly better PSG and Real Madrid, since Madrid are home one would expect that the fans and playing in their own pitch would swing a thing or more for Madrid in the game.
All eyes will be on Mbappe and Messi but I think Neymar would be the one to cause Madrid havoc.

without the presence of two good strikers from MU (Cristiano and Cavani) it is impossible for MU to win from ATM in the 2nd leg later

losing to man city is very painful for loyal MU fans, if rangnick doesn't fix it then it will be difficult for MU to advance to the next UCL round

for UCL this season my favorite champion is man city

[tulusikhlas]

Manchester City are the most comfortable now, how not, they already have a 5 goal advantage which they created in the first meeting. And Sporting I see it's difficult to turn things around, even though Manchester City didn't play as impressive a game as in the first meeting, Sporting still won't be able to beat Manchester City. Yes Manchester City can now be more flexible to rotate their players.

[Raflesia]

Bayern Munich will have difficulties once again when playing against Salzburg, Salzburg was an unstoppable team in the Austrian championship, they will be a big obstacle to Bayern Munich that this season has not been a team to win games constantly and has not managed to score many goals constantly

But Bayern Munich playing at Allianz is an advantage also in the second leg and the aggregate is still 1-1 it's clear to me Bayern Munich can beat Salzburg even though we know the Austrian team always makes it difficult for Bayern Munich in the first leg.
It's also interesting they will try to defend or score goals continuously but I think Bayern Munich can overcome this.


It remains my choice of Bayern Munich with a small chance.

if only Ronaldo wasn't injured, but still on the bench against his city rivals and trying to save him for the match against Atletico Madrid this would be a joke!  The Manchester derby is always interesting and tight. Both clubs from the city of Manchester always want to appear to be the rulers of derby matches.  So I don't agree that Ralf's tactics let the derby match and chooses to save players for the game against ATM.

And I understand why they are underestimating Salzburg too. Because Bayern Munich didn't show their real strength against Salzburg. They just wanted to keep it for the second leg.

 

honestly I don't understand why there is such a disparity in the odds? Is there any catastrophic news on the Salzburg side that I'm not aware of? Salzburg are not too weak to be underestimated and Bayern Munich are not as strong as they were in previous seasons, so I don't understand what bookmakers are thinking when they put this disparity in the odds

the game between Bayern and Liverpool are not decided yet, I'm a fan of both teams and even then I'm not so confident as to underestimate Inter and Salzburg. especially in the case of Salzburg they can still beat Bayern
