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

[Daniel91]

The match between Bayern Munich vs Villarreal is an interesting match to see the final result. Because unexpectedly the team that was the favorite to win the match actually lost in the first leg. Bayern Munich will definitely go all out to avenge his defeat with a total attack. Villarreal have to be careful with them, because in the round of 16 they also performed superbly in the second leg.

It was quite surprising to find out that Bayern Munich lost to Villarreal with a score of 1 - 0, but, are you sure that in the second leg Bayern Munich will get a draw or even lose?

I don't think it makes sense, I firmly believe that we will see Bayern Munich play like a monster in the second leg, and that will be a challenge for Villareal. Will Villareal use a bus parking formation in the second leg like Atletico Madrid?

This is not the first time Bayern have disappointed this season in the Champions League.
Who remembers the match between Bayern and Salzburg in the previous round of the Champions League?
Bayern almost lost the first game but in return were very convincing and deservedly went further.
However, Villarreal is a much better team and it will be much harder for Bayern in return to win and move on.
Even if they advance to the semi-finals, Bayern show that they have serious problems in the game this season, and for me they are no longer favorites to win the Champions League.

I guess Bayern Munich has learned from their mistakes that gave Villarreal victory in their first leg. Bayern Munich will not allow Villarreal to have any chance to score any goal through the match, to let their fans know that they achieved that one goal by luck in the first leg which they will not allow such thing to happen in the second leg.

Bayern Munich will defeat Villarreal 3-1 because their coach is fully prepared to use all the strategies to achieve victory at the end of the match. The final result will definitely favour Bayern Munich because they will like to take this second leg serious to put smiles into the eyes of their fans.

I don't think Villarreal's win was a stroke of luck, they worked really hard by playing defensive strategies and then trying to counter-attack, and it was very effective and a very good result they got.
it is true that Leg 2 will be played at home to Bayern Munich and of course they are still very favorites because indeed Agg 1 goal is very possible for them to pursue but what must be considered is that Villarreal's defense line is very strong, it is not impossible that Villarreal can withstand Bayern Munich's draw in the 2nd leg later.

Benzema's goals are the main reason for Real Madrid's victory. Then I will say that the Real Madrid defender and the goalkeeper's performance was good and so they got a beautiful 3-1 win. The main weakness of Real Madrid is that they rely on Benzema to score. However, their midfield and defense are strong enough. However, Real Madrid's match strategy was awesome. This is also one of the reasons for their victory.

If I may asked, what was the strategy they used, Real Madrid didn't play that good like in other champions league game that they have won. It was just a bad day for the Chelsea players as they weren't doing it right as they usually do. Look at the last goal, Rudiger could have easily cleared that ball out but no he decided to go for power and the ball fell in the path of benzema and been a man on form, you don't expect him to miss that.

I even think that a good one is Chelsea strategy, it's just that there are so many missed opportunities, I don't know what happened but I admit it was a bad day for chelsea, the last goal was a goal that underestimated a striker like Benzema in winning the ball he is the best at taking a chance. The second match will still be gray if chelsea is still in this condition since the chaos in another previous league when against brenford was slaughtered at home create deep pressure.

Exactly my point as they dominated the game but wasn't getting that final ball right to score. Infact those two chances benzema got in the first half to score, Lukaku also had similar chances bit missed both chances. The difference in that game was Real Madrid having an informed striker while Chelsea had nothing. Kai havertz wasn't even in that game until he got his goal.

Many people aren't taking about Kante because he's a lovable guy and doesn't make mistakes although he wasn't also in the game as well. His impact in the mid field wasn't fet and final Thomas Tuchel got his substitute wrong. Hope he learns from that and make better substitution in the future before he doesn't get one after the new owners take over.

I'm sure Bayern Munich will take revenge in the Second Leg of the Champions League Quarter-Final. For Bayern, this is a pretty bad result. Because, for the first time, Bayern lost and failed to score in the Champions League this season.
In fact, Bayern have quite a lot of opportunities. They fired 21 shots throughout the game. However, Bayern Munich was not effective and got four good chances. In the second leg I'm sure there will be a lot of goals created.

Bayern Munich are well known to always triumph in champions league. Villarreal are no way better than them even in the 1st leg match. Bayern had more chances but couldn’t equalize the game. In the second leg, am sure Bayern will give in everything to defeat Villarreal. Villarreal got some few clear chances but didn’t use it against Bayern. Now they will have to payback for that at Allianz Arena.

I see a real chance here for Villareal to advance into the semi final of the Champions League. Bayern is really not in a good shape at the moment and basically they were not in a great shape the whole season so far. If Bayern would have drawn a stronger opponent in for the round of the last 16 in the Champions League they would probably already be eliminated. They are just not stable enough in the defense, right now they are playing against Augsburg in the Bundesliga which is a club that is fighting against being relegated down to the second league and it is still 0-0 at the moment and Augsburg already had some big chances to score. If Bayern plays like that on tuesday then Villareal surely will advance.

I even saw the opposite where the match wasn't very interesting. The reason is, Bayern Munich's performance is not perfect and does not play as usual. As we know Bayern Munich's style of play is very dangerous and was not seen at all against Villareal. Chapter 2 I was expecting a much more entertaining game they could show us.

Bayern Munich will definitely try to come back from behind and take more chances later. because it is an important match. If, on the other hand, Villarreal has mastered the match again, then something is wrong in Bayern Munich's line.

[xzone]

Yes, I also expected Bayern won the match 3-0. But in reality, they were defeated 0-1 by Villareal. All Villareal players did a solid game, it makes Bayern have 0 away goal. However, most people believe Bayern will bounce back at their home. I hear in many discussions that people predict Bayern will win 2-0 at least in their home (Leg 2). So, people are still confident that Bayern can eliminate Villareal in this round.

To be honest, this result was not what I expected. Villarreal is a team that plays very well and has a very good strategy. But Bayern is one of the best attacking teams this year and I think they are still one of the best in the league, even though their performance has not been the same for the last few weeks.

But Villarreal did a great job and didn't let their opponent score. Still, I think we will not see such a score in the next match and Bayern will beat it

Still have 2nd leg for Bayern Munich to win above 2 goal and lead to semi final Champion League but need to scoring goals on the early minutes, actually Bayern Munich not have consistent performance on away match, last round on 16 phase 1st leg held by Salzburg after on 2nd leg success defeated with bigger score, but have different level between Salzburg and Villareal. Actually Villareal will adopt with defensive games play on 2nd leg and take held how to make Bayern Munich difficulty how scoring goal. Will be interested for second leg match between Bayern Munich vs Villareal and winning 1 goal is not guarantee easy for Villareal on second leg.

We can see everything in the next match, if Bayern players can play at their level, they can score a lot of goals and win the match. Villarreal has a chance at the moment, but we'll see if they can seize that opportunity in the open. It will not be an easy match for them and their opponent will be on the field with all their strength.
That's why I think Bayern will pass the round

Look at the last goal, Rudiger could have easily cleared that ball out but no he decided to go for power and the ball fell in the path of benzema and been a man on form, you don't expect him to miss that.

It would be difficult for Chelsea to get their comeback and progress to the semi finals. Assuming the game ended at 2-1 then their would had been more hopes but currently (even the coach) doesn't believe the boys can upset Real Madrid at home to progress.

I agree that chelsea didn't have a great game and there were a few mistakes that impacted the result heavily and you are right about that but between the ownership issues and manager issues, it should be expected of them to have bad games.

However, I disagree with Real playing not so great, and I mean I get that you do not mean that they played badly, I understand that you mean that the reason for the clear win wasn't real playing awesome, but chelsea playing badly and I still disagree. I think that even though your opponent could play badly, if you are not playing greatly then you are going to end up not winning the game, which shows that even though chelsea was bad, real was good enough to take advantage of that.

I also think so, Bayern Munich will not allow Villareal to easily qualify for the next round, especially in the second leg, they will play at the Allianz Arena. It's very rare that they can be beaten there (you can see from their recent match history). But I hope they can be beaten in the second leg because it looks like it will be very interesting to see Villareal make it into the next round.

The final result will definitely favour Bayern Munich because they will like to take this second leg serious to put smiles into the eyes of their fans.

In addition, Bayern Munich will play at home and host Villareal. Should be the spearhead to turn things around because of a 1 goal defeat yesterday. We hope the next game will not be too monotonous and will see a reversal of the attacking situation built by Julian Nagelsmann. Not only me, but it turns out that other people also believe that Bayern Munich is expected to beat Villareal in Leg 2. Muller must show his best with his team.

[KTChampions]

Yes, Bayern is certainly stronger than Juventus, but, nevertheless, it is unlikely that Juventus are so bad that they can “accidentally” lose to Villarreal at home 0-3, so Villarreal has a certain strength. Plus, if you look objectively without looking at the names in the first game, Villarreal completely outplayed Bayern, that is, in this particular match, it was stronger. I think first of all it was a coaching victory - Lewandowski was completely out of the game, the whole team played reliably and the Bayern defense was well studied and if Villarreal had been a little more lucky (or skillful) then the score would have been more than 1-0.

Villareal has strength and I like that they are not so bothered if they have less ball possession. I can also agree that Villareal won the tactical game in the first leg.

Will Villarreal be able to repeat this at the Allianz Arena? Don't know.

I think the first half will be the key to this match. The game would be more open if Bayern could score early and that's where they usually dominate.

But I look at the odds and realize that Villarreal is so underrated that I will definitely bet on it.

Goodluck. It's definitely worth a try.
 

After today's Bayern match, my doubts about them have intensified - whether this is a functional decline, or a psychological one, but the team plays as if "through effort". I agree with you about the quick goal - if Bayern can organize it, it will give them the necessary emotions and everything can end up in a rout for Villarreal, but even today against a much weaker team in the first half, Bayern had almost no scoring chances.

It was not just an interesting match, but perhaps the most interesting and unpredictable match of the entire selection at the moment, even the Real-Chelsea maeco, where Real actually secured an exit to the 1-2 finals. Bayern was considered one of the favorites, the champion of Germany and the leader of the championship, against the "average" of the Spanish championship and here is a match where Villereal not only won, but could do it with a big score. Villarreal should have scored 2 or even 3 goals.

[RILWAN]

I don't know why I so much have instance hope in Villarreal and the club have constantly fought to retain the position and putting up good moves that can translate into huge success for the club am looking forward to see Villarreal making higher goals score in their next match.

[asus09]

Looks like Villareal want to do everything possible to stop Bayern Munich in the second leg of the champions league, Unai Emery sacrificed the match against Bilbao tonight, Unai Emery did not field their important players, almost all the main players were rested to beat Bayern in the second leg of the champions league , even though Villareal is not in the lead, because almost everyone places bets for Bayern's victory, but I will place my bet for Villareal, even though I know this will be a big risk, but I still place a bet for Villareal to qualify for the semi-finals of the champions league.

[Alanaz]

Doubts will continue to increase now but that doesn't mean they will lose in this round, personally I still feel that they will still win in this round even though they are currently losing on aggregate but that's not a problem.
but the problem is with doubts now I'm not sure they will advance to the final now especially if they win now indirectly they will face a strong opponent in the semi final because for sure the 4 teams that will be there are quite strong teams, so far I might would predict Liverpool, City and Madrid there.
it's a pretty strong opponent and I'm not too sure Bayern will get past this

[SatoPrincess]

Of course, not conceding a goal is as important as scoring a goal in a match, goalkeepers have a big job here. Not only Benzema's scoring did not win the match, his high defensive performance and the goalkeeper's saves were also very important here.
Not conceding a goal will be as important as scoring a goal in the next match, but it is almost impossible to beat a Real Madrid who scored 3 away goals

Benzema's goals are the main reason for Real Madrid's victory. Then I will say that the Real Madrid defender and the goalkeeper's performance was good and so they got a beautiful 3-1 win. The main weakness of Real Madrid is that they rely on Benzema to score. However, their midfield and defense are strong enough. However, Real Madrid's match strategy was awesome. This is also one of the reasons for their victory.

It is safe to say that Karim Benzema is finally having his first world class season at Real Madrid, he has been the most outstanding player for the team this season hence there are suggestions for him to be the ideal balloon d'or candidate.  Benzema is having a great year but I can't help but wonder that he had to play over a decade plus the departure of Ronaldo before he could finally start shining. Yes, we can argue he has a couple good years under his belt but obviously not as impressive as he is this season.

[RILWAN]

Both arsenal and man United are heading to the relegation zone after the clubs lost their match in the EPL and it is obvious their position in the championship is greatly affected. Am just looking forward to seeing the outcome of the club standings after today's outing.
