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

[Oshosondy]

This also happens to Real Madrid and Chelsea, the result is actually still difficult to be predicted. But personally, I will bet for Real Madrid that wins the match if we are seeing the player lineups and also power so far. I never underestimate Chelsea because this is also a big club that also has a big chance to win. I am sure that both Real Madrid and Chelsea must work very hard to defeat each other. Not easy in this match.

The match is very hard to predict, Real Madrid can not just be gone for, Chelsea is not predictable in this kind of match and Chelsea has high chance to win as well as Real Madrid. Last season was not predictable that Chelsea would win Champions League but the club won it. Real Madrid won PSG in a way most of us did not expect, we all thought PSG would win, this has made us to be overestimating Real Madrid, they are never good like before for now.

For Man City vs Atletico i will see from head to head records for both of managers because this is interesting for me that Guardiola vs Simeone and during met Guardiola while he still in Barcelona or Bayern Munich Simeone is always in trouble and their current records met was 2 times win for Guardiola and once win for Simeone and after looking for these statistics Man City under Guardiola should be able to win this match

Manchester City is favourite to win Atletico Madrid in this one,for me this is the weakest Atletico Madrid team over five years that Diego simeone have managed during his time here while this is almost the strongest Manchester City side pep Guadiola has managed so you see the advantage Manchester City has over Atletico Madrid.and Manchester City side will be coming very prepared for this one after narrowly missing out of lifting the trophy last year.

[Minecache]

Simeone, more than 10 years managing ATM vs Guardiola, +5 years with City. Both managers are good but they have different play style. City is stable, doing good overall while ATM isn't at its best shape this season. Honestly it will be a surprise to see ATM resisting City. I expect the result to be determined since the first leg.

If based on the paper lineups and condition of the team overall, Man City may have a higher chance than Atletico Madrid. I am sure that each coach has been preparing their best strategy, plans, and also lineups to be put into their big match to be qualified for the next round. However, how the tactics or strategy will work will also depend on the player's performance on the field.
This is a little bit hard to guess who will win, but in this case, in my opinion, Man City may be the one that has a higher chance to win, at least 1 score is different.
This also happens to Real Madrid and Chelsea, the result is actually still difficult to be predicted. But personally, I will bet for Real Madrid that wins the match if we are seeing the player lineups and also power so far. I never underestimate Chelsea because this is also a big club that also has a big chance to win. I am sure that both Real Madrid and Chelsea must work very hard to defeat each other. Not easy in this match.

Manchester City and Chelsea have the chance of winning in my opinion because these two are the teams from English Premier League. and in this League, there are a lot bigger competitions. every team in this League has the ability to beat a world-class opponent.

so, I am obviously always going to prefer a team which has been through a lot more competition rather than a team which has not. and for me, I think Manchester City and Chelsea are the hardworking teams. I am obviously not saying that Atletico Madrid or  Real Madrid are not good enough. they are also good opponents and great teams but I think  Man City and Chelsea are just one step ahead of them.

The moment Atletico was drawn with Manchester City every football fan knew it is going to be a very tough one and it is even more challenging to play against a team that seems to have a very strong and tough defensive DNA. Pep Guardiola already know his side is going to have a tough time because they usually suffer against teams who defend like this but he would prefer atletico than playing a English side at this stage of the competition.

It looks like it is the end of the road for Villarreal and Benfica in this round. Because I don't give them any chance against Bayern Munich and Liverpool respectively. Each one of their opponents is a big favourite for the Champions League title. When we consider this fact seriously, I don't expect them to show a big performance against them in their away games especially. Maybe they would somehow show a good resistance in their home games. For the first games, I feel like Liverpool will win and Villarreal will steal a draw from Bayern Munich.

On paper, it is also very clear that Man City have the advantage in this match. When viewed from head to head, in terms of career the two coaches are very much different. But Atletico Madrid is not a club that gives up easily when under pressure, although for now Man City still has the potential for victory, I certainly hope that on April 6, Simeone can show a little genius to penetrate the strong defense of Man City.

Real Madrid certainly does not have the flair that they had in the past. a squad like Real Madrid which consists of quite an older generation mate if you'd like Chelsea I think Chelsea is always going to be the winner if they just play smart.

I know we did not expect Real Madrid to win against PSG but PSG had a lot of problems and Chelsea is playing quite well right now. really hard match to predict but it would say Chelsea will be the winners.

Now we have just eight teams remaining in this competition mean toughest in Europe, so it's surely not easy to predict about any result all teams are capable of doing anything with their quality players, and now it's surely going to be entertaining matches for all fans around the globe.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea is surely one off the best matches because after beating PSG now Real Madrid is having great confidence, but after this match lost against Barcelona is also had big set back on other side Chelsea were at top of English Premier League but at third spot mean they are also having some weak points, but now things are completely change, so both matches are going to be in amazing atmosphere which need for these big matches I have personal feeling now Real Madrid can go through now give your own predictions.

It is difficult to guess the final result of who passes the next round. Relying on historical statistics is very bad to guess the final result. Comparing the players of these two teams is relatively the same, only Madrid has players with older ages. Madrid have superior experience and more UCL titles, While Chelsea with Tuchel were champions last year. I wouldn't guess they look just as strong, but I hope that Madrid will qualify for the next round.

Real Madrid player line up filled by older age but have a lot experience and mentality how keep confidence on every match, I don't think will easy games for Chelsea. Talking about age as Karim Benzema have been 34 years old still potential with top scorer for Real Madrid on champion league with 8 goals and success make hattrick when defeating PSG. I think age is not any have to worry because all Madrid player keep strong until 90 minutes, but just still depending with Karim Benzema and without him Real Madrid looks difficult to win.

Real Madrid players are obviously older and even though they gained experience,  they don't have the same skill that they possessed when they were young.  I know that Karim Benzema played really well against PSG but I wonder if he is going to be able to do it again in the next match, I don't think so.

Some hope that Atletico Madrid can repeat the success of beating the Manchester club after they managed to do it for Manchester United. But I think it will be a difficult mission for Simeone's men.

Guardiola is a genius coach and he has a good strategy to dominate the match and he has enough players to break down opposing defenses and create chances. His experience with Barcelona may be a good capital to beat Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals. I believe the quality of the players of these two teams is very different where I think Manchester City are superior. Manchester City are the favourites, and I hope Real Madrid will get the chance to meet them in the semifinals if they both qualify from the quarter-finals.

Diego Simeone also in my opinion is no less genius in his strategy in the UCL but indeed in terms of quality players still superior to Pep Guardiola's care, it's a big capital for Pep to win as the favorite team and it's true.

I know this is a match that both parties have been waiting for, it will be very interesting to play strategy on the pitch but it can't be denied how Manchester city is now even better isn't it, I think Pep Guardiola has pressure on Atletico to keep control of this match, on the other hand Atletico will trying on his counterattack like many people say.

Atletico Madrid were lucky to beat Manchester United. If it wasn't for them, we would be watching the Manchester derby in this round of the Champions League. But I think Manchester City are not unreasonably favourites for the upcoming game. At any case, they will try to score the maximum number of goals at home, as they did against Sporting. Atletico Madrid will be unlucky in this game.

[ILuckyGuyI]

As for the matchup between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, I'm favouring Manchester City to advance to next round of course. And most people are going to be doing the same as me. Because Atletico Madrid would be in a big trouble against them even though they have a solid defensive play. Manchester City are not a similar team to Manchester United now. They wouldn't do many simple mistakes and wouldn't forgive the probable mistakes of Atletico Madrid too. And the first leg is in Etihad which could demoralize Atletico Madrid more. I think that Manchester City will have a very favorable result already then.

Manchester City is definitely strong, no doubt about it. But don't think Atletico Madrid is weak. They are experienced enough. Maybe they hadn't been in form in La Liga for a while, we've seen their poor performances in a few matches. But now they are in pretty good form. If Atletico Madrid can maintain this form, it will not be easy for Manchester City to win. It is very difficult. However, I expect both teams to play well, I want to enjoy a competitive and exciting match.

I'm still very optimistic that my blue team will win in this 1st leg...

Real Madrid is predicted to use their strategy and best players, but Chelsea is a team that can quickly adapt to the match. we all know this is a match between the 2 best teams one is last year's UCL champion and one is the most UCL champion to date.

It obviously doesn't seem like that, because Bayern Munich and Liverpool are not going to be beaten by these two teams in my opinion.
I think they have done really well to reach this stage of the tournament. Breaching the quarter-final of the Champions League is not easy work at all. But the team that they are going to face in their next match are just a way higher level than them. it is true that they don't have any chance in these matches.

The match appears difficult to predict but I have a clue of God the two legs will be. First, if Benzema will not be available for the first leg, the match might draw to goaless or Madrid will lose the match. But on the second leg which I know Benzema will be present and fit, Madrid will win the match with a higher margin. I believe and predict that Real madrid will qualify for the next round.

I think that Manchester City will have a very favorable result already then.

This season, Atlético's defense is far from its best form and concedes too many goals (more than a goal per game). Therefore, if their plan is to wait until the penalty shootout, it will be very difficult to implement. But the fact that the first match they play away gives them a slight advantage. Playing the decisive game at home is much more profitable.

Actually, if you look at the current Bayern are very favored and it seems that luck is still very on his side. Their opponents during this round have always been below them I think, last 16 against Salzburg and now they will face Villarreal. even though before that Villareal played amazingly but as you said maybe this is the end for them in the Champions League

Manchester City is much better then Atletico Madrid. I think that Man City is currently in top 3 clubs in the world. I dont know how Atletico Madrid can survive against Man Cities deadly attack honestly. Even if Simeone parks the bus i think they dont stand the chance
