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

[kro55]

there is still a long way to go to predict who will be the champion, currently all that remains are the best clubs so anything is still very possible to happen, Man City's performance is indeed very good this year but these other teams are also very consistent and have quality the same as Man City.

I think it is also very clear that every current club or team must always be consistent in playing, especially in the Champions League so that those who have survived until now must show a better performance than they have shown in their respective leagues.
So this will be much more difficult to predict because there are several leaders of their own League standings in the Champions League this time.

The best teams in all leagues have the opportunity to play in the Champions League. No team is weak here. Each team is stronger. The team that can maintain its consistency, will not lose form, they will go ahead to win the title. It is not possible to do well in the Champions League if you are not able to perform consistently well. Since each team is strong here, a poor performance in a match will make it uncertain whether they will qualify for the next round.

It's true that we don't need to rush in predicting who will come out as champions of the Champions League this season. Because it's still a long way, there are 8 teams still fighting for it. We do not know what strategy will be applied by each team to achieve the title. Even here there are still many representatives who in their domestic league are at the top of the standings. Like Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Competition will be more interesting here.

Champions League 2020/2021 season Chelsea managed to beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge so that Chelsea managed to qualify because at the Santiago Bernabeu they got a 1-1 draw based on head to head in the UCL.

This result cannot be the measure of each team's strength in the current UCL season. Many things have changed, Chelsea looks not as strong as when they played in the previous season. But I don't say Chelsea has no chance to beat Real Madrid with their current situation. I just assume Real Madrid is a little bit stronger because they have got a very useful experience after beating PSG in the previous round. Their mentality has been tested well and they know how to deal with a strong team. While Chelsea still has no experience to fight with a strong and solid team so far.

Champions League 2020/2021 season Chelsea managed to beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge so that Chelsea managed to qualify because at the Santiago Bernabeu they got a 1-1 draw based on head to head in the UCL. This season will look different and it is still difficult to predict who will advance to the semifinals. Even so, I believe Real Madrid will qualify. Chelsea's chance to qualify is still there by not letting Real Madrid dominate possession.

I think even though this happened a few years ago but this cannot be used as a reference because indeed they are now in a different phase and Chelsea may be more difficult now because their internal problems have not been resolved properly until now.
Madrid, on the other hand, are underdogs but after beating PSG in the previous round they look promising now

indeed it happened a few years ago. but the Chelsea squad that beat Real Madrid at that time, nothing changed with the current squad. So I'm sure Chelsea will repeat the history of the past few years. because real Madrid's current performance is not the best even though they can beat psg but it's a lucky win.

The only thing that has changed for Chelsea is the fact that the club owner is facing a lot of sanctions from the Russian Ukraine invasion which also have affected the club's ability to sign new players and if there is no new signing the club may not be able to meet up with future demands. But of this current challenge on Chelsea pass 💯 the club should be able to carry the trophy 🏆 this season.
The other strong opposition will be Manchester City and Liverpool who will give Chelsea a good run-up.

It is unlikely that Chelsea will repeat their past performances and beat Real Madrid again. Madrid experienced team. Chelsea's performance is not as strong this season as we saw in the previous season. So this match will definitely be competitive. However, the chances of Chelsea winning the home match seem to be high. But I have my doubts about whether Chelsea can win at Bernabeu.

Chelsea have been playing with confidence all season but have not scored much. So it seems that they are out of form or unable to beat a strong opponent... But if you look at the history of their 2021/2022 games, they have only lost 4 or five times... Which may speak volumes about good results! I think they can do it this year too! Although of course there are doubts about it...

regarding the map of the two teams that will compete in the Champions League this season where Real Madrid will meet Chelsea in the UCL last 8 event, Chelsea is currently different from the previous year when they won the title where the team from London is currently being hit by various problems related to the sanctions applied to Roman Abramovich which also affected the club.of course very different from their opponents.namely Real Madrid, which almost certainly won the BBVA league title and they are now focusing on the European Champions League which was successful in the last 16. get rid of French giants PSG

[fzkto]

Manchester City are likely to beat Atletico Madrid at home and try not to concede away in Madrid. I think there is no doubt that Atletico will not go through to the next round. Benfica against Liverpool can be left out of the commentary. Benfica have already peaked this season, after Liverpool they will end their participation in the Champions League. The most interesting matches are Chelsea against Real Madrid. The Madrid look stronger, but it is very difficult to predict who will win. Bayern against Villarreal is also not hard to guess who will be the winner.

Right now Chelsea is in the form of their life, they are playing really well, and they have won all of their last 5 matches. So, they should be really confident about themselves. Chelsea should win the match against Real Madrid Even though the match-up looks even. I believe that they are better than Real Madrid currently.

It is going to be very likely for us to see a Liverpool - Bayern Munich draw in the semi finals. And this kind of a matchup would be really insane. This matchup would be no different than a Champions League finale. And let's say we got this matchup, then I would favour Liverpool to eliminate Bayern Munich. Because I think that Liverpool are a more credible team than Bayern Munich for even the title now. Bayern Munich sometimes have really big problems and Liverpool are the right team to benefit from those.

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich draw would be very crazy and full of excitement. I would have said why don't you pay attention to the current fixtures because we are not sure that both Liverpool and Bayern will survive this group fixtures. On a second thought when I remembered the fixtures I understood that both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are supposed to scale through this stage without too much hurdles. These two clubs are quite superior than their opponents both in deep value, team name and team form. So both will qualify for the next round.

[Wiwo]

Liverpool is expected to top their group and the fixture may give Liverpool a tough play but am confident in Liverpool's ability to push through this stage of the league which will lead to an increase in their overall point.

[babo]

look, after the results of the bookmarkers I too now begin to think so
maybe there are some surprises in store for us, but basically the chances that Atletico will win are basic compared to that Manchester will win

i hope we have a big surprise

This will be a revenge match for Real Madrid because last season in the semifinals Real Madrid was beaten by Chelsea 1-3 on aggregate, and I don't believe that Real Madrid can beat Chelsea.
For another reason, Real Madrid is not what it used to be and so are some different players.
and for the month of april chelsea has a solid schedule of 7 matches which is only 4 days from each match, hopefully with chelsea's busy schedule it doesn't reduce its performance, especially in the champions league.
last season Chelsea were able to draw at the Bernabeu, and the match later if Chlesea wins against Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge I think the 2nd leg match at the Bernabeu will be a draw.

They need to find a buyer, and I do not think that it would happen anytime soon neither. This results with them financially being bad, and this results with a horrible morale drop. Tuchel will try his best to keep the team working hard, but even he can't do that for too long.

The UK government will take care of them if they cannot find a buyer in the mean time. Everything is fast tracked but come on,,, no need to mention anymore about them being affected by this in terms of morale.
Do you think Derby players are playing better or worse because of their financial problems?
Or Barcelona? Maybe they were playing really bad at some point but this was because of a bad manager and losing all their players due to a bad board and bad mistakes. The finances alone does not make a club have low morale because if they did,,, then they are a weak club anyway and do not deserve to play

I know that money is not everything for a club but it is definitely a very important thing for any club. It is important to have enough money so that the squad can be built as expected by the manager. Otherwise, it might affect the results.

A club can have great players but unless they are working together nothing great is going to happen. on the other hand, even if a team does not have great players they can perform well if there is enough chemistry.

Not sure there will be a surprise from Atletico though indeed, these two teams or especially Atletico are not a weak team. But here Manchester City prioritizes the UCL title, it seems that victory is the result that will certainly be obtained. But if we consider their focus on the local league then at least it will disturb their focus in the UCL a bit, but as a big team I believe Manchester City will be able to share their focus and rotate players well.

Chelsea's chance to qualify is still there by not letting Real Madrid dominate possession.

That wasn't a managed win buddy, instead was a convincing one because we outplayed Real Madrid in both legs with Kante dominating the midfield and getting the mad of the match award. Real Madrid scoring Chelsea was due to one brilliant Karim Benzema moment. He's the only one that can cause some kind of issue to our defense. The rest front line of Real Madrid aren't of a threat as we have well experienced players to handle whatever they throw at us.

Chelsea plays a possessive football so we won't be letting Real Madrid dominate the ball, their midfield currently can't match ours. Hopefully Tuchel continues playing Kai havertz instead of playing Lukaku upfront so we can have everyone engage in the play and not having to play one man down. Probably as the game progress, Lukaku gets introduced and get us some finalizing goal to kill the match.

The 2020/2021 season when Chelsea managed to thwart Real Madrid was not luck, but the solid midfield driven by Ngolo Kante made Real Madrid unable to build attacks properly and Ngolo Kante is very worthy of being used as Man of the match at Stamford Bridge and at the Santiago Bernabeu .

In the 2021/2022 season, Chelsea midfield consistency was still good in the Champions League until the last match against Lille, but Real Madrid also had a pretty good midfield with Luca Modric's outstanding performance.

Therefore, the match Chelsea vs Real Madrid which will be played on April 7 is still difficult to predict who will make it through and this match will prove to be a midfield for both teams.

One thing is the financial problems of the club (which the players may not even feel because their financial interaction with the club is in accordance with the contract), and another thing is the change of ownership, which can lead to a radical change in the policy of the club. In the second case, the future becomes very uncertain and this affects the players because they think about it. Professionals, of course, know how to abstract and do their job no matter what, but still, at least a little bit, it affects them.

Although Man City is still playing in three competitions, this will not distract Man City's focus when playing in the Champions League. Man City are
an experienced team, so they already know how to keep their main players fit for many competitions. So I think the chances of Atletico beating
Man City are very slim. there is even a possibility that Man City will win against Atletico easily. Although I also know Atletico are not a weak team,
but after all the quality of Man City players is very far when compared to Atletico. So it is very difficult to expect any surprises that Atletico will show
when facing Man City. My prediction is that Man City can beat Atletico in both the first and second legs. But maybe Man City's victory against Atletico is
only one goal difference, because usually Atlético play defensively against a stronger team. That's what makes it difficult for Man City to score many
goals against Atletico.

News from the past? Okay 

The 2020/2021 season when Chelsea managed to thwart Real Madrid was not luck, but the solid midfield driven by Ngolo Kante made Real Madrid unable to build attacks properly and Ngolo Kante is very worthy of being used as Man of the match at Stamford Bridge and at the Santiago Bernabeu .

Therefore, the match Chelsea vs Real Madrid which will be played on April 7 is still difficult to predict who will make it through and this match will prove to be a midfield for both teams.

This scenario is suitable for almost all confrontations  if we exclude the rare options of playing buses against fans of aimlessly roll the ball in the center of the field. Real and Chelsea are rational teams, so they will not mindlessly go on the attack, but will try to outplay the opponent in the center of the field and who will be more successful in this will win the match. Attackers without the ball are unlikely to be able to tip the scales in favor of their club on their own.
