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

[safari88]

Chelsea is now 0-1 ahead after about 20 minutes of football. That will be difficult for Madrid tonight. They had a 1-3 lead but being so fast behind that is a bad harbinger for now. Madrid is still on the right side of the score, but I don't rule out Chelsea pushing through and making it 0-2. Then it really becomes a 50-50 match. Away goals rules is vanished, so with 0-2 we are going to extend.

Bayern Munich are top favorites to win the match, but I saw the recap and clips of the match in Spain last week. Then Villareal was certainly no less, in fact, they should have won that game by a lot more goals. Also the bad luck that a player was 1 CM offside. Bayern is a team that can play hard at home with 6-1, for example, we saw that against Salzburg in the previous round. If Villareal plays like last week, Bayern will have a very tough night.

I am watching the match between Bayern Munich and Villarreal. Bayern Munich is ready and set for this game and likewise Villareal. Villareal is so much defensive minded and I am sure they cannot be defending from minute 1 to minute 90. They all be tired at some points and Bayern Munich will do their wish. This formation Bayern Munich is using to night is exactly the formation they used to eliminate Salzburg.

But it will be bad for Bayern Munich if Villareal manages to get a goal before them. That is unlikely to happen, but this is football, anything can happen.

I do not believe that Chelsea can realistically threaten Real today in advancing to the next phase of the Champions League. Real are too experienced a team to allow this to happen. Rather, I think the hosts will be in control of the game and counter Chelsea when the opportunity arises. I bet both teams will score today.

Chelsea got a tough test to be able to catch up to a goal deficit from Real Madrid, but it is certain that this 2nd leg match will be fierce, Chelsea will play all out in this duel.  The big win in the domestic league last week made the Blues' confidence increase, this thing needs to be watched out for by Madrid.  Madrid is indeed the seed in this match, but there are still 90 minutes to really breathe easy, because Madrid must be able to reduce Chelsea's ambition to rise in this 2nd leg.

Real Madrid has no secret weapon, without Benzema I think they will not be able to win games. I don't want to raise the hope of Chelsea fans. It is clear Chelsea is the disadvantaged side. They should be looking to score first. If this was the era of the away goal rule, Chelsea would have been out by now. Fortunately for them, the rule has been nuked. With a two goal deficit, Chelsea doesn't stand a chance to go come out victorious in this fixture. Chelsea fans should know miracles do not happen in the Santiago Bernabeu.

Goal.
M. Mount scored with a relaxed manner that opened hope for Chelsea to qualify for the next stage. So far Chelsea are very dominant in the game. Is Real Madrid unable to stop Chelsea with a capital victory in the 1st leg?

Chelsea started the game well and they managed to score their first goal of the day to reduce the aggregate goals to 3-2, chelsea game looked more well organized at the start of the first half so this caused panic and pressure on real madrid, I think with the goal scored by mount in the 15th minute it made chelsea more confident to turn things around today, and I see at this moment the real madrid defense looks a little weak so chelsea players are too easy to penetrate,I think ancelotti needs to pay a little attention to madrid defense right now if he doesn't want to concede again.

[hyudien]

Tuchel task is to instruct his players to continue to monitor the movement of Benzema so that he cannot move freely into the Chelsea defense. It will be a threat if Benzema is allowed to roam around without strict control. Chelsea can still fix that vulnerability if they play consistently to score goals and strengthen the defense. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's tactics are indeed very difficult to anticipate. The difference in points seems to be very thin.

I know that beating Real Madrid is not an easy task after winning the first leg 1-3 at home to Chelsea, but after seeing Chelsea's comeback in the last game then I believe that something can still change if Chelsea really want to qualify semifinals. Of course Benzema needs a tight guard in the second leg if Chelsea don't want to concede more goals because 1 Real Madrid goal will make Chelsea's spirit collapse even more to win the match.

It is a difficult mission for Chelsea but I think they are still possible to win it.

I know how Chelsea will anticipate in their defense to be tightened so that it is more difficult for Benzema to move to find opportunities but I think Real Madrid have a different strategy, this of course will definitely play more dominant at home why is that because I believe Benzema is a good spearhead in this match.
Honestly, I have bet on Real Madrid to be able to win more narrowly even though Chelsea has returned to normal after yesterday's victory in the EPL match I think this is difficult to predict but still on the conviction of my prediction Real Madrid can win.

As we saw this time Chelsea tried to outperform the game and it was proven by a goal from Meson Mount. However, Benzema movement is still not well controlled and will continue to pose a threatening danger. Mendy is active while maintaining his defense and doesn't want to be missed for the umpteenth time.

Good enough for Chelsea now because at least they are able to reduce the aggregate and the time is still quite long now.
but they will now have to keep an eye on Vini on their flanks and kill off Madrid's current midfield trio (Modric, Kroos and Casimero) when this they can deal with would be very easy for them now.
but on the other hand I still feel that Madrid will win and can create an equalizing goal and increase the aggregate

Chelsea dominated the attack in the first half so far and they managed to increase their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals by scoring 1 goal, but of course they should have scored more goals from the first half. At the moment Real Madrid are definitely under a lot of pressure with Chelsea's attempted attack, so I think 0-2 in the first half is very possible in this match. Chelsea comeback expected.

Aggregate still remains for one point Madrid and in the second half later they must really anticipate the expansion of the flashlight execution and not rely on Benzema continuously. Create some kind of eye-catcher to take the pressure off Chelsea. Well, Chelsea continues to press and make Madrid's defense at the back full of guards. I think it will be more fun when the second half starts. For now, Chelsea's first-half did dominate very well.

Madrid should spread their attack. Chelsea defense is concentrating more on Benzema, a fake attack can break the chelsea defense. So far this can still be any ones game. But Madrid still have high chances of qualifying for the semi finals despite Chelsea forceful attack. The second half will speak more voice

[Ifemini]

Its half time this champions league night and the odd seems to not be in anyones favor lol. It remains a draw at the Allianz Arena as Villareal continue to hold up tight to their 1 goal advantage against the attacks of Bayern Munich; Meanwhile, Mason mount has given Chelsea a lifeline with his in the first half against Madrid. Who will qualify to the next stage?

It seems that the first half now Chelsea dominated and their temporary advantage was still the score at the end of this first half.
it's quite interesting now how Madrid couldn't develop their game against the chelsea defense and couldn't create any goal chances during this first half because there were only a few shots but it wasn't dangerous.
for round 2 there may be a little surprise from Madrid because of course they don't want to give a victory that is in front of their eyes taken voluntarily

Real Madrid are being very cautious, they need to keep the defense tight. They have to limit chelsea possession so they don't create a lot of chances to score, if Real Madrid can control the pace of the game, they will be able to defeat their opponent. Chelsea has already score the first goal,  they only need to score another goal to keep the match leveled. Chelsea are still in this game, they are fighting to defend their championship

Very interesting to watching these match.Chelsea is playing aggressive plan against Real Madrid.1st now Real 3-2 Chelsea, If second half Chelsea can do better something. I hope Chelsea can qualify in next round.Bayern did try  to score in 1st half but they didn’t do it.I hope Bayern will win in second half i hope Bayern will be qualify for next round.

Chelsea has been able to play the game exactly how they wanted, they needed to score at least one goal during the first half so they did not got desperate during the second half of the match and left a lot of space for Real Madrid to counterattack them, the goal also came early which played even more on their favor and so far they have control of the game, however they still need to score one more time, and taking into account how the game is being played I think there is a chance they will, the question is if Benzema will save Real Madrid again? As they desperately need him to score a goal now to reduce the pressure Chelsea is exerting over them.

[Doell]

Chelsea became more confident when they managed to enter a goal in the first half, Real Madrid was increasingly wary not to give Chelsea a second goal. But now Benzema has received a yellow card that will make it difficult for his flexibility of movement, ancelotti looks tense on his face, did Real Madrid manage to hold in the second half or not? other games Bayern Munich are still struggling to get at least a goal or two but Villarreal are too compact in defense making it difficult for Munich.

The same scenario when Madrid beat PSG may not be repeated in this match because I believe Chelsea have played well from the first half. Of course Chelsea will be careful in anticipating Real Madrid's counter-attack in the second half, but Chelsea must maximize all opportunities at this time for a ticket to the semifinals.

Everything is still possible because Real Madrid is not even dangerous when building attacks into the Chelsea defense area. So a Chelsea win seemed possible today. In other matches, Bayern Munchen have not been able to do much and they are still 1 goal behind Villareal and 0-1 on aggregate still lasted until the end of the first half, this is a surprise from Villareal.

[Woodie]

Playing this Villarreal side should be so frustrating for Bayern Munich because firstly they have packed the bus which has limited Bayerns shooting chances and they have so many time wasting tactics but should they concede, I honestly don't see them fighting back!

Else where in Europe Chelsea leads Real Madrid 1-0 can the blues turn the tables around...I don't think so! Second half about to kick off let's wait and see how it unfolds.

[MinoRaiola]

Villarreal is a yellow wall. Defensively is the extreme tactic today. There were a few shots on goal from Bayern in the first 45 minutes, but that's all. I think there will be many changes until the 60 minute if it is still 0-0. Gnabry and Sabitzer will come in. So the next 45 minutes will be more offensive...they need to be more offensive.

Unfortunately, the match has only lasted 15 minutes but Real Madrid have already conceded 1 goal which makes it 3-2 on aggregate now. It's not very good if Chelsea score 2 goals in the first half and I don't want that. I don't expect Real Madrid to be comfortable enough with their lead in the first leg, they have to score and ruined Chelsea's hopes of qualifying.

In terms of the game during the first 45 minutes, Chelsea was dominating. Is it because they (Chelsea) think that their hopes of qualifying are very slim so they play without pressure?

Carlo Ancelotti must correct the pattern of Real Madrid's game in the second 45 minutes if he does not want the chances of qualifying for Real Madrid to disappear because this match takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu which is famous as a stadium that makes it difficult for every opponent.

chelsea today performed with the best strategy and spirit...

the blue team is my favorite for a long time, their loss in the 1st leg really broke my heart, this time they are only 1 goal behind (3-2 on aggregate) from madrid, although the chance to advance to the next round is small but I still support chelsea.

madrid 0 - 1 chelsea
