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

[AndySt]

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.

We only have to wait a few more days to watch the first leg of the quarter finals, and while this is a revenge game for Real Madrid I think the Chelsea is playing so well lately they will be able to get a win since they are playing at home during the next game, the question to me is if they can obtain an advantage so big to the point it becomes decisive against Real Madrid? Because if they cannot do it then we know what Benzema and the rest of the Real Madrid can do in order to make an impressive comeback in a matter of minutes.

I am not sure that Real Madrid can also constantly make heroic comebacks on order, so I still think that the club should not bring the situation to such a state For me personally, at this point in time, before the first match is held, both Chelsea and Real Madrid have the same chances of success following the results of two matches. In any case, despite the cancellation of the away goal advantage rule, there is still a home field factor, and it is desirable for Chelsea to make some margin of safety before the return match and try to win, because Real Madrid at their home stadium with the crazy support of their fans will in any case play to win and is really capable of transformation.

the most important thing now for Chelsea is to keep winning. The first leg playing at home will certainly be more energy for Chelsea. although it was difficult Chelsea had to get the winning goal. and I hope in the second leg they don't play defensively to stem Real Madrid. instead of aiming for a draw.
Madrid with Benzema's recovery can certainly damage Chelsea's defense and midfield dominance. they have to be careful.

Chelsea did not hold their stand in this first leg. They don't need any draw, rather a win. I fully behind the blues because it's not easy for a English team to be among the quarter finals of champions league till this moment. Although Real Madrid Boss, Carlo Ancelloti and the team  will be aiming for a revenge after what Chelsea did to them last season. The Laliga Giant will face blues  away, and their top attacker, Karim Benzema would feature in the game. The blues needs to win this first leg, because there is no longer nothing like away goal or home goals counts. Hence, this would affect the scoring and elimination of teams in champions league.

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.

Totally agree with what you say because I also see the performance of each team in the Champions League is always different from the performance in their own League, because in the Champions League every player is required to play better and consistently so that they can always look strong and have the potential to qualify for the next round with an advantage through aggregate.

The Champions League is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, followed by the best teams in the European domestic leagues. As the most prestigious championship on the European continent, the Champions League is a benchmark for a club's success in making achievements. The Champions League is very competitive, only the best clubs in the domestic league are a part of the Champions League participants.

It is natural that players are always required to play better and consistently in the Champions League, because there are important reasons for clubs to excel in the Champions League. The Champions League is not just a prestigious competition on the European continent to get a championship trophy, but the prize (money) offered by the Champions League is quite tempting for the participating clubs. And clubs that play in the Champions League also get the results of the distribution of broadcasting rights from the match.

Not only that, it's a Stage fright.

you might play brilliantly in your domestic matches but then feeling different as it's a huge stage in champions league, it's often you suddenly losing your grade A form and fucked it up.
everyone has a chance , there is no what so called the underdogs ... no matter how. this is champions league.

I think the fixtures of this round of the UEFA champion's league is easy to point the teams to qualify except for the the Madrid Vs Chelsea fixture and that of ATM Vs Manchester City. A tie can go in anyone's favor in that Madrid—Chelsea game, it is going to be 50 - 50. On paper, it look like City are better than Atletico madrid owing to the fact that Atlético Madrid's LaLiga title defence have been weak this season to be honest, but of recent they have looked their old selves knocking out Manchester United and that really came off as a shock to many. I think Manchester City should be wary of Atletico and I trust Guardiola would have try to figure out how to beat Diego Simeone this time around.

The midfielders are still in good shape, but they always suffer against high-intensity midfielders, like they did against Barcelona's high-pressing midfielders; playing both Kross and Modric together is no longer an option; they must find a solution. Without Bezemba, the team appears to be average; this is what occurs when a team is built on a single player.

If something like this happens I think it's not to be replaced but to be added. There are some people who are still quite fit there but the role of Modric and Kroos is still very influential, especially for Kroos with his super passes.
Intensity problems I think this is normal and indeed they also against Barcelona were actually quite good but there are indeed some factors that did not go well

Like we always say, this is football anything can happen and as long as the clubs maintain a stable standard gaining points won't be a thing to worry about. Chelsea has a good chance to win the match and Manchester city also will fight hard to retain its points or better still increase they points of the tournament will be a very powerful stage and fixture will bring out the best in the clubs

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.

even if it's like that but their performance is quite different now especially with Chelsea's internal problems at this time indirectly this will have quite an effect in my opinion.
PSG and Madrid match luck? I don't really believe in luck in football because here it is determined by the 90 minutes on the pitch when the team which is better in terms of strategy and cooperation they will win, no luck in that

Manchester city is in very good form under coach Pepguardiola, liferpol is also playing very aggressively in all competitions, Bayern Munich is also playing very impressively, even though Chelsea lost to compete in the domestic league with liferpol and man city, but I believe chelsea can beat Real Madrid,
According to my prediction this season the teams that qualify for the semifinals are,
1,Bayern Munich
2, Manchester city
3, liferpol
4, Chelsea
I'm willing to bet anything, because I believe representatives from England can make a surprise this season.

English teams are playing very well this year, I admit that. But I don't think 3 of the 4 teams will be English teams. Then this league will not be very enjoyable.
I think it is better for the audience to see teams from different countries. I don't want to watch finals like the Premier League.
My favorite team among these teams is Bayern Munich

Do you think Chelsea midfielders are stronger than Real Madrid midfielders this season? Although the last season, Real Madrid midfielders are defeated by Chelsea midfielders, it doesn't mean Chelsea midfielders' performance is better than Real Madrid midfielders this season. I still believe that Real Madrid midfielders have learned many things from their lose in the last season. So, it probably won't happen again this season. Young or old players sometimes don't give a significant influence in the match.

They have good players but they are different. Chelsea's midfielders are younger and more energetic. Real Madrid's midfielders are olders and are playing at lower intensity. I could be wrong but Real Madrid's midfielders are playiing with experience they have learned from their long career.

When they face in two matches, if Real Madrid can not control playing intensity, they will very likely to fall in late of matches and get collapsed by Chelsea. If Real Madrid successfully to control intensity at the level they want, Chelsea will get troubles because Real Madrid will find holes in defense of Chelsea and win matches.

Before getting to UEFA Champion League match all quarter final team have domestic league match tonight and we can see how potential they can earn good result later from domestic league match. I want to see match between Chelsea vs Real Madrid and tonight both team will play on domestic league. Real Madrid still as favorite team based on my predicting and sure can defeat Chelsea on 1st and 2nd leg later, I know Chelsea as the winner of Champion League last season but Real Madrid have great mentality on UEFA Champion League competition where have showed when defeating PSG at 16 round phase.

It can somewhat be a good indication,I used to think that any big team for example like Real Madrid if was playing at home against a weak team in La Liga and losing that game and a few days later they have an important Champions League game for me it would mean that they are completely focused in the Champions and that should be the case for Real which is leading comfortably the La Liga.This never applies to Premier League teams though,they give their 100% in every game and they don't care much if they have another important match just a couple of days later.

Manchester city are on fire when it comes to the champions league. They dominated each of their games, they are on streaking wins because city boss Pep won't allow any team to compete with him. Athletico madrid on the other hand are also good interms of defensive football. They would target a draw in the first leg of the game. That's what Diego Simeon is good at, and he is one the oldest coach in Athletico madrid currently. The game is really going to be a tough one. Definitely it's going to be survival for the fittest. I hope City wins the game because they deserve this trophy more than any team present in the quarter finals. They have been to final last season but lost to Chelsea. This season won't be the same as last season. Alot of unimaginable things are going to happen.

Manchester city are just like that they don't take chances or take things for granted. They also have good coach who is good at what he does to see the team to always do better, one thing I like Manchester City is that no matter how a team is so tough they don't give up, and they try their best that the game is a victory for them. Athletico madrid is a good team that is doing well but I am not sure if they can win Manchester city.

I agree that Manchester City is one of the favorites to win the Champions League, but there are other candidates for the title, like Bayern, Real or Liverpool.
Personally, it seems to me that the main reason why Manchester City has not won the Champions League title so far is the lack of luck, but also the excessive caution of their coach Guardiola in key matches for the title.
Guardiola has yet to prove that he can win the Champions League with a team other than Barcelona and in which Messi doesn't play.
Only then will he be able to say that he is the greatest coach and Manchester City the best club.

If you have been following history you will be familiar with Manchester City's pattern of play, they are always ready looking for opportunities, the championship is not different that is how they have been playing since from the first round of the premier down to the champion league man city are equal to the task.

The Champions League title is the trophy that is most coveted by Manchester City, because Man City has never lifted the Champions League trophy. Man City almost won the UCL trophy a last season after advancing to the final, but Man City had to forget their dream after losing to Chelsea 0-1 in the final.

Pep Guardiola dream of presenting the Champions League trophy for Man City is increasingly difficult. Because they have to meet Atletico Madrid who has a total defensive style of a play, defensive tactics and combined with a hard play can destroy the tika-taka tactics that Guardiola always uses.

Even though Man City has been impressive throughout this season, they are not necessarily able to beat Atletico Madrid.  This season Atletico Madrid has also impressed in the Champions League, Manchester United became one of the victims of the ferocity of Diego Simeone team in the last 16 of the UCL.

Manchester City is the favourite to qualify to the next round and they have the capacity, good team and coach to do that. But one thing about Manchester City is that no matter how good they are in the English premier league, they cannot be trusted in the Champions League. If not for last season they managed to reach finals and lost it because of coach experiment. Other years they use to be  eliminated exactly at this stage. So Manchester City need to be more careful and ensure they score alot of goals that is what is going to save them.
