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

[gabbie2010]

I wonder what Chelsea can show tonight in Madrid? Of course they have a chance to win 2-0 and finish the match on penalties, but that doesn't seem realistic to me. Although Real Madrid can also surprise everyone, as they did when they lost 0-4 to Barcelona. Will they be able to play well tonight in such an important match?

I think Chelsea will be aware of Benzema threat who did scored a hatrick in their last match by marking him well by not allowing him to create space, of course when Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Barcelona in the last El-Clasico  Benzema missed that match due to injury his presence could have make a difference.
Chelsea has a big task to score two goals against an in-form Real Madrid, I think the best result they will get from this match is a draw, I don't think Chelsea stand any chance of winning in Bernabeu in today's match.

I think that Real Madrid will qualify further,Chelsea got a 0-6 win in their domestic league which surely boost their confidence but not at such level that they make a perfect match in Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid.Real Madrid has everything in their power to just manage this game,why not score an early goal and then easily manage ball possession forcing Chelsea to move forward but risking behind to concede more goals.Of course nothing is impossible in football but what you predict is highly unlikely.

Chelsea need a win by at least two goals difference in normal time to keep any chance of qualifying for the semifinals, although I think it's unlikely but no one knows because both are in good form.
Real Madrid looked impressive, after beating Chelsea, Real Madrid won 2-0 over Getafe at home last weekend. And Chelsea can be said to be starting to bounce back after a 6-0 win over Southampton last weekend.
and this victory will increase the confidence of both teams and will be a very tense match especially Chelsea must appear more aggressive and continue to attack because it takes two goals to qualify.

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.

I have documented a lot these days about Manchester City
I must say that they are a very strong team, they have a good coach, they have a good club
so I want to trust and bet my famous 2 euros in his victory: D let's hope it's a good match

Well against Atlético de Madrid if you won, and of course Manchester City has a great team, but I insist, apart from having top players, Pep Guardiola gives his team a lot of confidence, he is a clear born finalist if things go his way can reach the final, on the other hand I see that Real Madrid also has a very good movement in the UCL, sometimes everyone can judge that if it does well in the UCL but it does more or less in the corresponding league, after Real Madrid kicked PSG out of the UCL then they humiliated him at home and by his archenemy, but we don't know what condition all the players were in, Barcelona were fresher as they don't have a UCL rhythm, it was obvious they got caught tired, however they are first in the league and I think they will most likely win.

Of the 8 remaining teams, Liverpool is one of the favorites to qualify from this quarter-final. They only need to get a draw in the second leg later, and this is an easy job for them especially they will play the match in front of their own supporters. I even predict they will win again for the second leg later. They are the highest team to qualify from the other teams.

In total we have 3 teams that have great potential to qualify Liverpool, Madrid & Bayern Munich while Atlético vs Madrid can't be predicted
Even though Manchester City won in the first leg but Atletico can still catchup , one goal difference is not impossible to chase especially when playing at home Atletico have experience beating EPL teams like Manchester United in previous matches.

It is also necessary to emphasize what you say, although Cholo Simeone has a very peculiar way of taking his team forward, he does not care if he has lost in the first game, he is aware that he can come back, although I see Man City very strong.

Yes, although Chelsea needs 2 goals to qualify, it's very difficult, Real Madrid won't fail, I know that things happen in football, but right now I don't think the players will make any mistakes, and Benzema is very active.

Real Madrid will not take any wrong step in the match. Madrid is a very experienced club. And the match is their home match. Since the first leg, Madrid had a beautiful 3-1 victory. So even if Real Madrid loses 2-1 or 1-0 in this match, they will still be able to qualify for the semi-finals. And by playing defensively, Real Madrid will ensure their ability to reach the semi-finals.

[Mamun74]

1st Leg Villarreal 1-0 Bayern Munich, Who can be qualify for next round? Can villarreal do something magical things?I think it will be happen in 2nd leg.Villarreal also strong team and they played very expensive this season.

I hope Villarreal will win 2nd leg match or will be ended in draw.

Lead above two goal I think looks potential for Real Madrid will reach to semifinal and have good effect when playing home always give opportunity for Real Madrid to win, but still have possibility without focus on 90 minutes, Chelsea will be not easy for defeating by Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid should make 1 goal on early minutes how to make games over for Chelsea and will give drop performance and mentality when Real Madrid success lead although 1 goal. but is not easy because Chelsea want to get chance keep to semifinal although have to win above 3 goals but I sure with Madrid as first team will lead to semifinal on champion league this season.

[cryptofrka]

I do expect Bayern to win today and progress to the semifinals - but the odds on them winning are at around 1.25. I'm becoming more and more drawn to the idea of going for Villarreal - the odds simply give too good risk/reward ratio.

Villarreal defended really good in the first game, and the more the game goes on - the more space will Bayern have to leave behind. Villarreal used the space well in the 1st game as well, and they have already shown it in the game against Juventus. They were really patient and then scored 3 goals in the last 15 minutes - when Juventus had to open up to attack.

Bayern's team is better in almost all positions. But Villarreal knows how to play these games and will be tough to beat - especially if they don't concede in the 1st half.

2-0 can happen if Real Madrid players don't play just watch. LOL
we certainly believe that a match can change in 90 minutes like the history that happened in Liverpool vs AC Milan at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in 2005.
Real Madrid is a little more relieved and just needs to concentrate so as not to make the slightest mistake. when Real Madrid players are able to play calmly, then I make sure Chelsea will not be helpless.

1st Leg Villarreal 1-0 Bayern Munich, Who can be qualify for next round? Can villarreal do something magical things?I think it will be happen in 2nd leg.Villarreal also strong team and they played very expensive this season. Villarreal fan are waiting 2nd leg they are very happy with 1st leg match.I hope villarreal will be good fight to win against Bayern Munich. I hope Villarreal will win 2nd leg match or will be ended in draw.

On paper Bayern Munich will still win but this time I will try something different that Villarreal seems to be able to defend well and discipline, because just a draw is enough for Villarreal to qualify. Villarreal themselves are not a weak team and sometimes they can also do a good defense during the game, so I think if Bayern Munich get unlucky then it looks like this match will end goalless aka 0-0.

The odds for next round qualification are at 1.33 Bayern and 3.1 Villareal. I also think that the risk reward is not bad when going for Villareal. Keep in mind the last round Bayern won their home game 7-1 (after a draw in the first game) against Salzburg. Villareal will have to fight to stand a chance, but it's not impossible and they are in a better situation than Salzburg.

I'm not really looking at the 3.1 odds - I'm more interested in betting on Villarreal winning the game. The odds are placed at 10 - which I feel is really high.
I won't use regular bet size of course, but the value there is huge. The more Villarreal manages to not concede, the more Bayern will have to open up.

I'll be tracking live as well - if the result will be a draw in the 60th minute and the odds will be big, I'll bet on Villarreal again. In 80th minute? I'll put some more.

What I do expect if the game proceeds to be a draw is for Villarreal to have some really good opportunities in the last 5-10 minutes. Whether they will use them is another thing

New history may be created. Nothing impossible to happen.If Villarreal will play defensive i Think then match will be ended to draw.Villarreal defender and goal keeper are very talented. They played very well this season and they did their job as well.waiting for exactly what happen. But Bayern Munich is much more strong team and they will be played attacking.

I am actually surprised that the bookmakers are still seeing Bayern Munich as the big favorite in this matchup after their bad performance in the first leg. I am aware that this was kind of similar in the round before against RB Salzburg where Bayern only managed to achieve a draw in the first game but then won the second leg with 7-1. I also think though that even in the second leg Salzburg had the chance to score the first goal and if that would have happened Bayern would have had real big trouble to come back from that because at the moment they are just not in a good shape at all. If Villareal plays disciplined, which i guess they will, then they have a really big chance to advance tonight.

New history may be created. Nothing impossible to happen.If Villarreal will play defensive i Think then match will be ended to draw.Villarreal defender and goal keeper are very talented.

I do not think any new history will be created than Bayern to win this match. I have just gone through Villareal matches in La Liga Santander, Villarreal made the fourth position on the league in home matches, with 9 won, 5 draw and 2 loss matches, this shows how Villarreal is very strong at home.

But Villarreal is not strong in away matches. Villarreal in La Liga Santander this season, in away matches, Villareal won 3, draw 5 and lost 7 matches. Villarreal can have strong defence, but the club is not as perfect in away matches as home matches.

We have also noticed how Bayern can disappoint fans while first playing in away matches in Champions League, FC Salzburg was never the first Bayern defeated in Allianz Arena in return match after disappointing fans in the first match. Although, Villarreal already have 1 goal which means it is leading, but it should be expecting much pressure from Bayern today.

It will be good if Villarreal do not also play defensive match because it will only be an opportunity for Bayern to penetrate their defence in a way Bayern may score more goals.

I don't know why, but I don't think a miracle will happen. Bayern play very well at home. Look at how they played against Red Bull Salzburg first away and then at home. I think that Villarreal are about to suffer the same defeat. But as Villarreal is a better class than Red Bull, they won't lose by that much.

Bearing in mind that Villareal has the advantage in the tie, they will try to manage the result as best they can.
But I also think that Bayern should win, they will certainly not have difficulty scoring two or three goals.
The suppression in the tie is already done, now we will see if Bayern can really turn around, I believe so.

[dwminer1]

I am convinced that in today's Bayern Munich - Villarreal rematch we will see the Bayern team playing completely different than last week. Back then, they let Villareal do way too much on the offensive and I'm sure they drew the right conclusions and won't make the same mistakes. I bet on the promotion of Bayern Munich to the next stage of the Champions League.

Villarreal can defend very well, and that's what he'll try to do, but doing it against Bayern is a bad idea. Villarreal play poorly away, but Bayern play very well at home, the outcome is obvious.

Villareal ofcourse can defend well, but they are not a defensive team; they are a team that is excellent at cutting your passing lanes, remain passive and play a low mid block; this is why they get chances to counter effectively against any opponent. Bayern meanwhile are struggling for form, their performances in the last 3 games are not inspiring; and in a knockout tie, anything is bound to happen. I am tipping Villareal to score first again and be the winner of the knockout tie

now Munich will play at home. of course, they will play better with full support from fans. Munich had to play aggressively from the start of the game. they have to catch up with 1 goal down in the first leg. I don't think it's something difficult for Munich to do. because looking at the statistics in the first leg Munich played well. it's a shame the defense of Villarreal is indeed very strong. Munich must prepare a different pattern of play if Villarreal later uses their steel defense.
