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

[dwminer1]

I admit that I am surprised by yesterday's results. Bayern, despite dominating most of the game, conceded a goal at the very end of the game. It was Villareal's only shot on target in the match. Real's promotion is no surprise for me, but the circumstances are. I didn't believe Chelsea would be able to fight for the promotion, but  was really close to eliminating the rivals.

I was amazed at Chelsea's performance! At first I was sure they would lose, but then I began to doubt... In the end they still lost, but the game was superb! As for Bayern, I am totally disappointed with that team... Villarreal had just one shot on target which was enough to win going into the semi-finals!

Chelsea showed great football, scoring three away goals. Honestly, I thought it was almost impossible, but they did it. I already thought they could win this game, but at the end of the match Real Madrid scored a goal and the whole game broke down. Shame that Chelsea didn't go on, but Real Madrid were good too. But I think they won't play in the final again this year.

In fact they scored 4 goals there but it was a shame that Alonso's goal was disallowed there but indeed apart from that this match really deserves to be appreciated.
at least even if they lost but they put in a pretty good game and even if the fans were disappointed but they will surely admit it was a great game for them.

Today's championship matches line up is so incredibly exciting to look out for Liverpool and Manchester City will both be playing today but not against each other while Manchester City will be playing against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool will be playing against Benfica and am looking at the given both top clubs direct winning, I know both Manchester City and Liverpool played against each other over the last weekend and their both played well which have given me the confidence that their will win in today champion league qualifiers game.

Chelsea is great. All the Chelsea players involved in the match against Real Madrid have been able to make Chelsea fans around the world satisfied and proud of the efforts that have been made. The unyielding character appears throughout the game. The extraordinary teamwork made the Santiago Bernabeu wonder what possessed the Chelsea players.
Good luck next year Chelsea.

Quite impressive Chelsea appearance Last night there were no words other than the team's performance in handling the ball and scoring goals. winning 3 Goals the situation changed instantly and the game became more interesting because real madrid played more aggressively in round 2 and a goal was born from Rodrygo feet in the 80th minute which made the real madrid camp even more excited until at the last minute real madrid were able to score the decisive goal from Benzema and real madrid  qualify for the next round with an aggregate of 5: 4

I hope Liverpool won't put themselves under the same pressure Madrid found themselves last night after a comfortable away lead only to come back home to play with pressure. Mancity is still standing with one leg. Both games could be any way. I will glad if the two English teams can make it to the semi finals

After two teams have been confirmed to be in the semifinals, now we have to wait for two more teams that will follow to the semifinals. There are
two matches that will start soon, for the Liverpool vs Benfica match seems easy to predict. With 3-1 on aggregate and the match will be played
at Anfield, it seems almost certain Liverpool will qualify for the semifinals. Because I don't see the quality of the players that Benfica has that
can make surprise in the second leg.

What is much more interesting is of course the Atletico vs Man City match, because it reminds me of the Bayern vs Villarreal match which
surprisingly Villarreal was able to get rid of Bayern. This could have happened in the Atletico vs Man City match, it is very possible for Atletico
to surprise by beating Man City. Even though Man City is a strong team, it's still not an invincible team, therefore Man City must remain vigilant
and must not underestimate Atletico in the second leg match.

Moreover, in the second leg it is likely that Simeone will use a different strategy, it is likely that Atletico will play more attacking, because Atletico's
current position requires at least one goal to equalize on aggregate. I think Atlético at the start of the game will try to score a goal, after they manage
to score one goal and the aggregate is the same, there is a possibility that Atletico will return to playing defensively by relying on counter-attacks.
Because it's not a good decision if Atletico play attacking throughout the game against a strong team like Man City.

In the game between Liverpool and Benfica Lisbon, there is only one favorite to win in today's match and to be promoted. I don't believe in the surprising Benfica fight for a promotion, that we saw in yesterday's games. In this case, the skill gap and the advantage gained in the first leg in favor of Liverpool is too great. I expect a smooth promotion of Liverpool achieved with relatively little effort.

Chelsea is great. All the Chelsea players involved in the match against Real Madrid have been able to make Chelsea fans around the world satisfied and proud of the efforts that have been made. The unyielding character appears throughout the game. The extraordinary teamwork made the Santiago Bernabeu wonder what possessed the Chelsea players.
Good luck next year Chelsea.

I may not be happy that Chelsea didn't qualify but the match was amazing. It's so painful that Chelsea couldn't just catch up with Madrid counter attack. In fact Chelsea should have defended through out from the moment they were taking the lead. The character from Chelsea was good and playing with the intensity they wanted and leading 3-0 just showed that they are echelons above Real Madrid. Even if Chelsea's UCL run ends here, they did absolutely well.
Taking a 2 goals deficit to play away with a league leader and still took the game to extra time even having one of their goals cancelled, should earn them much respect. Flukes happen. Shoutout to Benzema, an extraordinary player this season.

This is the most interesting football to watch. It all happened for 90 minutes + 30 minutes before finally Chelsea ducked and Real Madrid jumped with joy including the supporters who were in the stadium and watching on TV.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for making it to the semifinals and thanks to Chelsea for proving how to be a great team.

Villarreal accomplished the unthinkable by knocking Bayern Munich out of the Champions League quarter-finals. Emery has outcoached Nagelsmann over the 180 minutes.He structured his team to create so many counter-attacking opportunities like the winning goal. And his defensive structure to limit Bayern Munich to creating just two big chances across two legs, was immense. From their La Liga game against Athletic Club where he fielded his second team, you could tell that he had a plan against Bayern Munich and I love the way Unai Emery set up his team to defend sustained possession spells from the opposition and the game plan worked exactly the way he wanted.

And people used to say what an idiot he was at Arsenal, right? Perhaps we have to admit that coaches like him may never really do well in a league system because they cannot consistently win and beat teams at their level, but if you want a coach that can outperform and use everything in his book to overcome a bigger opponent in a cup competition,,, then he is your guy.

Villareal have never reached a semifinal before, now they can dream of a final.

Exactly, people thought Real Madrid will disgrace Chelsea with many goals but at the end of the match Chelsea defeated Real Madrid 3-2 that gave the fans joy that Real Madrid won their last match by luck. Despite Chelsea missed the semi final, I think they have demonstrated a good performance for the world to know that they missed the opportunity by mistakes. I believe Chelsea has learnt from their mistakes in this tournament, never allow such mistakes to happen to them next year.

a great match! a round of applause to both of them
five goals, action, shots on goal
as a football fan I am very satisfied and I give a sincere applause to everyone for the fun they have been able to give me

Yes, right. very good football matches shown by these two big clubs and for football fans I am also very happy and quite satisfied with the game of both teams. in the match not only lose and win, but the value obtained in the match is much more useful for the next step.

I already thought they could win this game, but at the end of the match Real Madrid scored a goal and the whole game broke down. Shame that Chelsea didn't go on, but Real Madrid were good too. But I think they won't play in the final again this year.

Chelsea  did the unthinkable but unfortunately they were not able to cross over to the next stage but they will be proud of themselves,it was not written on the star for them.thomas Tuchel will be proud and this player came believing that they can turn this result, Ngolo Kante is a very good players and has this multi position and plays like two players in one.that late Real Madrid goal kill Chelsea momentum in the game and after that I always thought in my mind that Karim benzema will finish the business because he is so much good in his work,he understands Vinicius junior in ever expect of his game he knows how Vinicius think.

real in the past - real today ... 
thanks to the current top form of the french striker K. Benzema, real madrid can continue to dream of the champions league trophy

Chelsea presently have a great team, I was expecting Real Madrid to win that match flawlessly but Chelsea performaned very excellenty that got them into extra time, Chelsea did not qualify but they have shown their fans that they really tried and yes they tried. I believe Chelsea will more concentrate on FA cup now. I can say that Real Madrid are just lucky to win that match.

Bayern could not cope with the defense of Villarreal, there were a lot of attacks, but the defense destroyed all the final stages, if the players of Villarreal gave a shot at their own goal, then most of them were shots from outside the penalty area. This is the sensation of the day, Bayern was left without the Champions League, Emery did the impossible.

I was expecting Bayern to do the unthinkable again, but they failed this time, Robert Lewandowski was able to scored in the second half of the match that they also dominated, but Villarreal with strong defence that was so strong, Samuel Chukwueze was able to score in just some minutes to lead to extra time. Villarreal do the unthinkable.

I guessed the result in this match before. Bayern attacked a lot. Villarreal, on the other hand, played perfectly defensive. In the 90th minute, they made 1 more on-target shot and scored only one goal. However, in both matches Bayern Munich has tried a lot to play well. But they have been defeated by Villarreal's defenders. Villarreal can play well in both matches against Bayern only because of the great performance of the defenders.

[Ifemini]

Will there be another drama today?

Atletico Madrid hosts Manchester City (0-1) - It is a big tie tonight for Pep boys because they cannot afford to allow Simeone boys score a goal. If Atletico scores first against Citeh; then we are going to witness another defensive shape (haram fotball) from Atletico

Liverpool hosts Benfica (3-1) - Liverpool defense line remains shaky and are only being saved by their excellent attackers. Klopp will be telling the boys to keep shape and contain the pressure to ensure that they do not goof. City or Liverpool? Madrid or Benfica? Who will go through to the semi finals ?

Chelsea proved many soccer analysts and pundits wrong with their amazing and brilliant performance yesterday, they could have won the match had they converted their scoring chances, unfortunately were unlucky, they played attacking football all through the 120 minutes, in a match many soccer analysts would have predicted a walk over for Real Madrid, honestly the match live up to expectations from start to finish, it was a brilliant soccer displayed by both sides to delightful soccer fans all over world.
Congratulations to Villarreal for their efforts in defeating a Bayern Munich side who many predicted their winning the match unfortunately were bundled out of the UCL.
