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

[Sterbens]

I think the England final will most likely be repeated this season and if Manchester City and Liverpool get there it will be a great final. But of course Liverpool and Manchester City have to make sure they get through to the quarter-finals today and are only thinking about the semi-finals, maybe easy for Liverpool against Villareal but difficult for Manchester City because Real Madrid are the opponents.

The Champions League is starting to clear up and we now have easily anyone who will enter with the quality they deserve. Clubs that are growing stronger and increasingly showing their existence are still owned by Man City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid. The three clubs are worthy candidates to compete with each other for a special place in the Champions League.

I believe in the ability of Atletico Madrid ability I know there may not win today's match as their playing against a big club infect the number one club on the premier league table and playing against the..in the champion league qualifier stage is a big deal but if Atletico Madrid can make an early goal score and thereafter lock, the back with a step g defense there may luckily win but if Manchester City makes early goal score against them or may also result in the club total lose out.

Tonight game is going be unpredictable for both teams. Athletico Madrid will host the English side at the estadio Wanda  Metropolitano. City are already leading 1-0 in the first leg, Diego Simeon may surprised Pep Guardiola with a tough game. Although city may absolved what ever the home team pull out. One good news about city is that Pep is not playing a defensive football because his formation against Athletico club is 4-3-3. While Simeon is playing a 3-5-2 formation. The game would be tough for Athletico Madrid because city pattern of play is attacking football and what Athletico team is good at is defensive football.

I think we will be able to see another match between Liverpool and Manchester City in the semi final. Both are worthy to win in this season. Real Madrid is playing also good but I think they will not be able to play final this season.

[hyudien]

today we have a big game:

City - Atletico Madrid

Well, for this game Atletico will have no choice, they will have to play on the attack to be able to recover the damage, meanwhile City will also have to play on the attack so they can score 1 goal, after that they will only need to play in defense. It will be an interesting game to watch

Full attacking strategy for Manchester City and it was the most ideal option, no play and left some gaps which Atletico Madrid could easily exploit. Pep Guardiola will be very focused on qualifying and will not let the slightest early mistake make it difficult for his players to penetrate the defense. English clubs and Spanish clubs were mutually prestigious on the pitch right away. This will pull and drop my bet on Manchester City.

Benfica - Liverpool

benfica's biggest problem is in the defense, they have a good attack, but they have a bad defense and liverpool have a good attack and defense, and a game one that liverpool will win

Without taking too big a risk, Liverpool will still be seeded even though their opponent is Benfica who is seen as a dark horse. I believe Liverpool went through well. But still, be careful because Benfica can be much more motivated after Bayern Munich was defeated by Villareal yesterday.

This is how the semifinal games look when I bet them: Liverpool vs Villareal and Manchester City vs Real Madrid. I don't know the final and I'll watch it all first. But let's talk about really good players: Darwin from Benfica and Joao Felix from Atl. Madrid. Both 22 years old and such great players, i think those two will be very good today. There are a lot of people watching and they want to show their skills.

[KTChampions]

Benzema is great. Now many understand that a year ago, Ronaldo, speaking about the fact that Benzema deserves the golden ball, did not say this in order to deprive Messi of another golden ball, but was simply objective.

Benzema has a best season personally in his career. The season is better than previous ones when Benzema is younger. What he shows in Champions League knock-out matches show that he has a higher level than Haaland or Mbappe. Of course, those young star players can improve themselves and be better. In addition, Benzema will not be able to avoid ageing effects. He soon will be replaced by younger players but for now and in next couple of seasons, he is the best or one of the best strikers in Europe.

This season is really special for him, he scored 38 goals in 38 games, he has never reached such a statistic before. But I would say that the greatness of Benzema is in his amazing stability. He spent every season at an excellent level and at the club level he won every possible trophy. It will be fair if he gets the golden ball this year, but here the World Cup will be the decisive factor.


Btw, made a symbolic bet on the victory of Atlético:

Yesterday munich knocked out, who's next? Manchester City

The Champions League is starting to clear up and we now have easily anyone who will enter with the quality they deserve. Clubs that are growing stronger and increasingly showing their existence are still owned by Man City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid. The three clubs are worthy candidates to compete with each other for a special place in the Champions League.

I'm not too sure about Real Madrid although their run to the semi-finals was amazing after PSG and Chelsea were eliminated. They have done it perfectly but of course they will still face another big team in the semi-final between Atletico Madrid or Manchester City.

I believe Manchester City can win the second leg today, so Simeone should have stepped out of his comfort zone to play openly today. So if Manchester City qualify for the semi-finals it will be a tough task for Real Madrid to advance to the final because City have been very good so far.

[Rruchi man]

Chelsea's fighting spirit has to be emulated, i believe it will set the pace for the other games we will see especially the ATM and Manchester city game where the game is far from over. I still strongly believe that Manchester city are favourites for the UCL this season and will love to see them play Real Madrid on the road to the final.

I'm looking forward to the end result.

Yesterday munich knocked out, who's next? Manchester City 

I don't think so, Man City won the first leg 1-0 and the game they showed was very good, they controlled the game very well.
I even think Man City will win again in the 2nd leg even though this match will be played at Atlético Madrid because in terms of quality and the game Man City is very superior and it was clearly seen in the 1st leg.

ManCity definitely is the big favorite to advance into the next round today. They completely dominated and controlled the first leg as you already said and last week Atletico Madrid did not have a single shot on the goal of Manchester City which says all in my opinion. That being said i also think that there is no team that is better in staying calm while they are under pressure and waiting for that one important counter attack than Atletico Madrid. They were the weaker teams in many matchups in the Champions League before for example against Bayern Munich under Pep Guardiola a few years ago but they still managed to advanced.

Manchester City's chances of winning the away game against Atletico Madrid were very good today, so I hope they don't disappoint.

Atletico Madrid played so defensively in the first leg that they didn't shoot any shots against Manchester City throughout the match, but the second leg might be different as Atletico Madrid will surely be lurking the win. Manchester City's victory is very possible, but it's only natural to be a little wary of the potential for Atletico Madrid's revival in the second leg.

It was a really magical night. We witnessed a big surprise in the Bayern Munich v Villarreal match for example. It was doubtful whether Villarreal were going to be able to resist their opponent in this match. But they did a huge job by drawing with them 1-1. Bayern Munich did their best but Villarreal defended them very well and deserved to advance. And Real Madrid v Chelsea was the greatest match of the night. Chelsea even brought the score to 3-0 which was not expected for me at all. But Real Madrid's comeback was just awesome and managed to eliminate Chelsea this time. Benzema was there to save the team once more.

I am confused how and why people applaude Chelsea? Why? Why? Why?
Chelsea has no fitting spirit, Chelsea is supposed to be punished assuming they were kids.
Even before the start of the match, I expected that Chelsea will win but not qualify. My question is that if Chelsea tried as we portray, why did they allow Real Madrid to come back from 0:3 to 2:3?
This means that if there was additional time, Real Madrid would have have equalized to 3:3 and probably win the match.
What Chelsea fc did was a waste of coke back, they raised the joy of their fans and dumped it again.
A defensive club like Chelsea should be able to hold their 3 goals to the end, or at most concieve 1 goal and not two goals.

[Captain Corporate]

 You do not really "allow" another team to win, you just happen to lose to them, and in this case, they didn't even lose, but it just happens and there is nothing you could do about it. They were ahead 3-0 and they just focused on defence and parked the bus, and this resulted in 2 amazing goals by real madrid. Not like they started to play horribly, they just did not have a good enough situation to defend against it and Real managed to beat so many great teams so far, especially how they managed to beat PSG, which shows that they are actually quite good and these type of things are in the ability of Benzema and others to do. It's not Chelsea's fault, it's Real Madrid's magnificence.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

The last minute that made Chelsea shattered and had to cry, because they lost on aggregate to Real Madrid, even though they won but last night's match Chelsea lost on aggregate, actually Chelsea played very impressively, even Real Madrid couldn't play as usual last night, I think Real Madrid only won luck,

It was the most interesting match where everyone thought Madrid could win easily but in fact Chelsea don't want to be eliminated like that they keep fighting
The sad thing is that Bayern Munich failed to make it to the semi-finals even though there is no doubt there even I placed a big bet there unfortunately I lost
I will avenge my defeat today and am watching Atletico vs Man city there seems to be another surprise.

Chelsea score 3 goals at the Santiago Bernabeu and this is a great deal anyway. I can't remember for a long time when English teams scored so much and I can't remember. Chelsea come back and win from 3:1 to 4:3 in favor of Chelsea is generally an event. If Real Madrid hadn't had Vinicius, Modric, Benzema and luck, then Chelsea would certainly have passed. But Real Madrid's goal at 3-0 broke them, and Benzema completed what he had started. But still being in this position to give battle to real is a great achievement .

Bayern's result against Villarreal was really a great surprise and beyond everyone's expectations. what Villarreal did very well they played defensively and relied on the counter-attack and it was very effective.
Villarreal played without a burden they were unseeded but could surprise them until they reached the semi-finals. we all don't know what Villarreal will do next whether they will surprise again or not.

on the other hand, Chelsea have been playing very well in fact they almost won the match with a 3-0 lead but Real Madrid again proved their strong mentality by playing calm and managed to turn things around with 2 goals from Rodrygo and also Karim Benzema.

Soon we will be back watching the match between Liverpool against Benfica and also Atletico against Man City. I don't think we'll see any more surprises because Liverpool and Man City have great chances of getting through to the semi-finals.

What a surprise, do you doubt Manchester City today playing at home to Atletico Madrid?
I'm sure we won't see a surprise like yesterday where Bayern Munich failed to advance to the semifinals because they lost to Villareal on aggregate. Manchester City is a strong team and they will be hard to beat when they dominate the game, they have proved in the match against Liverpool a few days before so i would definitely think Manchester City will win the second leg again.

Liverpool and Manchester City will be shot to the semifinals this season.
