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

[nurilham]

Looks Atletico Madrid back to top performance right now with 8 unbeaten match and keep continues against with Manchester City on 1st leg champion league, just my predicting only because looking how consistent performance from Atletico Madrid on 8 match before.

Does it mean you guess Atletico Madrid will destroy Man City in the 1 Leg of UCL? In my opinion, the current performance of Atletico Madrid in La Liga cannot guarantee that they are able to beat Man City. You must be aware of the current opponents of Atletico Madrid in La Liga weren't those strong teams. Most of them were just small teams that actually have no chance to get points against Atletico Madrid. It is very different with Man City, they are leading EPL standings and one of the strongest candidates for UCL title. So, Atletico Madrid must be very difficult to beat them, especially if Man City players are on fire (in their best forms).

Champions of English premier league versus the Champions of Spanish La Liga, who wins at the end of the day ?
Players on the lookout are to be de Bruyne and Jaoa Felix, tjay have been in a great form.
If Athletico does win this game, they will boast of beating two Manchester side's.
Although this is the first time this teams are facing themselves on the UEFA Champions League.

Only one day left for the first two games in this round. Benfica - Liverpool game is very easy to predict of course. Liverpool would focus on this game completely and destroy Benfica to have a good advantage. I don't think that they can resist Liverpool like they did against Ajax here. And the other game is going to be even more interesting. Manchester City are the favourite side incredibly highly now according to bookmakers. Their odd is 1.30 while Atletico's is 11.00. This is a really humiliating odd for Atletico but it is the facts I'm afraid. Manchester City would win here.

Liverpool have their focus on winning the Champions League title this season, and they won't probably lose against Benfica. Although, am not underestimating Benfica, as they can strengthen their defence, and surprise us by beating Liverpool. Because, Champion League matches are usually unpredictable. Anything can happen. But, am quite certain that Liverpool won't lose against Benfica and will surely advance to the Semi-finals.

It's hard to predict this match. Real Madrid has not performed as well in their last two matches in La Liga. They lost 4-0 to Barcelona, ​​and 2-1 to Celta Vigo, but their gameplay was poor. Chelsea, on the other hand, lost their last match 4-1 to a team like Brentford. And so it is very difficult to predict how they will perform face to face now. But considering the home team, I will keep Chelsea ahead.

The match Chelsea vs Real Madrid is a battle between two European giants who have previously met in the same league. At last year's UCL meeting, Chelsea managed to get to rid of Madrid in the semifinals.
This match will present a high intensity between the two teams. Ahead of this big game, Chelsea arrived to injure after losing 4-1 to Brentford in the Premier League. While Real Madrid can breathe a sigh of a relief, because Karim Benzema has recovered from his injury.
Chelsea who just lost to Brentford, will play more enthusiastically to get a win at a home. Chelsea will enjoy the match at Stamford Bridge to give Real Madrid a defeat.

I don't know if Chelsea losing the match is going to make much of a difference in the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Because I think Chelsea it was obviously saving some of their players for the more important match against Real Madrid.

Even if Chelsea loses one or two matches right now it is not going to make much of a difference in the points table of the English Premier League. I think Chelsea will be the winners in this match but obviously, Real Madrid is not a team which can be taken likely in these big matches.

There is no question of any destruction of Manchester City by Atletico Madrid, because with all the problems that City has had recently, the club still keeps its bar at a certain level. And if Atletico Madrid will play their favorite game, then we cannot talk about the destruction of Manchester City. Each team will solve its own problems, Manchester City will try to secure a reserve for the second leg in the form of a victory, and Atletico Madrid will be quite satisfied with a draw. Diego Simeone admitted before the match that Manchester City have outstanding players who are clearly stronger than his players, but there are two games ahead. Josep Guardiola, in turn, answered the question about whether Atletico's style is terrible, because he will not waste time on stupid arguments and the one who wins is right.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid are having a wonderful time in the La Liga for weeks indeed. But this can be absolutely misleading too. Because they don't perform the same in the La Liga and the Champions League both. They don't have opponents that are of the same quality in both tournaments. Manchester City are going to be their most serious opponent these days. And I can feel a certain loss for Atletico Madrid in the first leg as it is in Etihad. Manchester City will have the control of the match and Atletico Madrid will try to stop them by a solid defense. But they won't be able to stop Manchester City I think.

I don't think athletico Madrid can beat Manchester city, to me city are the favorite team to win the match. Though athletico have been unbeaten in their last 8 games, I don't still see them winning the game cause city is so focused on the UCL title. Manchester city performance is outstrageous, they always dominate every game, to me they are the best contenders for the UCL title and they will be hardly stopped, athletico Madrid need to tithing their defends.

I don't think it is an easy prediction, no one can guarantee Liverpool to defeat Benefica easily. Moreover, Leg 1 will be held in Benefica home, they may have a big motivation, and not impossible to win. You cannot judge Liverpool must win because all teams qualified in this round are those strong teams, including Benefica. I simply avoid underestimating any teams, they possibly surprise us.

I agree with what you said, there is no guarantee for Liverpool that they will win easily against Benfica. But if we look at the statistics of these two teams, Liverpool are the favorites to win the match. But apart from that, it depends on Benfica which will implement what kind of strategy to reduce attacks from Liverpool, because we know that Liverpool are one of the productive teams.

Players on the lookout are to be de Bruyne and Jaoa Felix, tjay have been in a great form.

We can only make our predictions, there is no way to know who wins the game at the end of the day, as for who are my favorites i would say City, not only cause i am a fan but because i think they are the better team. I am pretty sure we would witness a coaching masterclass from both managers, Pep already hinted at that during his press conference, i absolutely can't wait to see what Guardiola has up his sleeves, it would be a wonderful game to watch.

If Athletico does win this game, they will boast of beating two Manchester side's.
Although this is the first time this teams are facing themselves on the UEFA Champions League.

Yes Athletico beat United, but this is a completely different scenario and City are a whole lot stronger than their arch rivals, even Simeone attested to the fact that City would be a much difficult team to win. This being the first times makes the game all the more intriguing and exciting to say the least, who is going to draw first blood in their first head to head encounter, we'll have to watch and see.

That's right, on the pitch Benfica could have been more prepared and scary. Liverpool's chances of winning are high, but on the pitch, everything can change.
without the dominance of ball possession, Benfica could have carried out a counter-attack strategy with a strong defense. if it works it can frustrate Salah and others.

Champions League quarter-finals will begin this week. Man City is going to demolished Atlético Madrid without any problem? Atlético Madrid is a strong opponent, a tough competition awaits. Atlético Madrid have reached final twice in UCL, they have the ability to shock City. However, it's my feeling that Man City can light up our expectations.

[EdenHazard]

Atletico Madrid are having a wonderful time in the La Liga for weeks indeed. But this can be absolutely misleading too. Because they don't perform the same in the La Liga and the Champions League both. They don't have opponents that are of the same quality in both tournaments. Manchester City are going to be their most serious opponent these days. And I can feel a certain loss for Atletico Madrid in the first leg as it is in Etihad. Manchester City will have the control of the match and Atletico Madrid will try to stop them by a solid defense. But they won't be able to stop Manchester City I think.

Well the match could really went unpredicted.

Atletico madrid used to a negative football strategy when manchester city used to went total football. meaning that the odds during the match might giving low odds for manchester city as they had the possession but at letico madrid successfully doing their counter attack and scored once then defend it till the end. this is the possibility that i might expect in the game. we'll see.

Atlético Madrid have indeed appeared so impressive in the domestic competition where they are currently in third place in the BBVA league standings.will this impressive performance be infected in European competition, because the opponent they will face is the English giants, one of the strong candidates for the Champions League title this season. this is where they have a very dangerous attacking motor up front and it will be a very interesting game because Atletico Madrid also have a very solid defense at the back.

[bering]

Klopp personally spoke although Liverpool the favourite but he do not want to underestimate Benfica especially Benfica have good player which is on fire such as Darwin Nunez and he currently can made 27 goals from 34 matches in all competitions so van Dijk has to be careful with this player and in my view Benfica will not be easily to beaten because they have good players and there is potention this match will ended draw or if Liverpool won probably with slim score

That trues with top performance Atletico Madrid on La Liga can't guarantee easy for defeating Manchester City actually City have impressive result when playing home. But looks different between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are team want to lead until final stage on Champion League, both team ever lead until to final but failed getting trophy. Become motivation for both team keep playing well hot to lead to semi final and winning tonight match. Interested to predict about which one team are the winning between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are stronger team right now.

This is a really humiliating odd for Atletico but it is the facts I'm afraid. Manchester City would win here.

The difference between bets is leaning toward Liverpool and very far away from the host. but if Liverpool isn't much care, that possible Benfica will dominate the match with the help of supporters. We know how Liverpool for this time, maybe they wouldn't get the trouble, what else the performance almost win in 17 Matches, only lost versus Inter in Champions league leg with doesn't affect for the ticket in the quarter final. the possibility of winning with 1 different goal, or if aren't careless, draw is also possible.

[Razmirraz]

without the dominance of ball possession, Benfica could have carried out a counter-attack strategy with a strong defense. if it works it can frustrate Salah and others.

In terms of a player quality, Liverpool is stronger. Successfully getting to rid of Ajax Amsterdam makes Benfica not to be underestimated, Liverpool must be vigilant, especially since they will play at Benfica's cage. From the record appearance of both teams, Liverpool is above Benfica. Ahead of the big game in the UCL, Liverpool deserves to be favorites, because Liverpool have an always wond without conceding in the last four matches and have an always wond in their last seven away games.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

Many are betting that Man City has every chance of winning, but it is as you say, I think the teams that have arrived are the strongest and this does not end here, for me it is not clear yet, Real Madrid for Mi is a finalist and I think he will be a faithful winner.

Of course, I would particularly like Real Madrid to have the victory, but if they play or show football like the one they showed with Barceolan, it will not be decisive, I hope that things in the UCL will be more and more interesting.

Looks like everyone agrees on paper Liverpool are stronger than Benfica. So it is very natural that many people predict Liverpool will easily
beat Benfica. But if we see how Benfica managed to get rid of Ajax, this should be a consideration that Benfica can't be underestimated.
Especially Liverpool must be wary of a counter-attack from Benfica, moreover Benfica has a very productive young striker, namely Darwin Nunez.
Which is Darwin Nunez as the top scorer Benfica, even thanks to the enormous contribution of Darwin Nunez who scored a winning goal
in the second leg against Ajax, finally made Ajax eliminated because they lost on aggregate goals. But as you said in the last 4 matches
in all competitions, Liverpool not only won, but Liverpool didn't concede a single goal either. Proves Liverpool's defense is very strong and
the possibility that Liverpool defenders can marking Darwin Nunez from scoring goals. So my prediction is that Liverpool will beat Benfica
even if they play away.
