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

[KTChampions]

Villarreal has beaten Bayern Munich with strategy and tactics this club is very lucky, but Villarreal skills and tactics are still far below Liverpool when compared to Liverpool and their match will be plat at home to dominant Liverpool and the statistics will definitely be won by Liverpool.
Benzema has always been a savior for the club, from the past until now. Without that man Real Madrid is nothing

Most likely, the confrontation between Liverpool and Villarreal will not take place according to the most interesting scenario: a deaf defense against a magnificent attack. Usually it rarely ends in games with many goals scored, however, maybe Liverpool will be able to pick up the keys to the Villarreal goal, who knows.
You are wrong about Real Madrid, this is not a one-man team. But Benzema is great, it's true.

Totally agree with what you are saying because it is clear that Liverpool this season have looked very strong in all matches, both in their own league, and in other leagues such as the Champions and the English FA Cup.
So that there is a lot of evidence that can be seen by everyone so that many people will be more confident for Liverpool's victory against Villarreal.

Football doesn't work that way anymore, not the way we tend to see it.
Yea Liverpool are playing fine having the best season with everyone contribution highly recommend.
But don't conclude until it is over.
I am a Liverpool fan though.

The key lies in the strategy that Villarreal will apply when they compete later. It is true to say that Liverpool are better than Villarreal. But in this match whether they will execute a better strategy than Villarreal, of course it does not guarantee that. Even though Villarreal are now the dark horses in the Champions League, we don't think that they will get rid of Bayern Munich. Now Liverpool must not suffer the same fate as the representative from Germany.

Man City consistency will be tested against Madrid because for me Madrid very strong this season and while Man City only eleminated the teams such as Sporting CP and Atletico but Madrid was successfully eleminated strong teams such as PSG and Chelsea and in fact Madrid is the most successful team in champions league with 13 trophies so i personally considers Madrid is the favourite to win the match and went to final match

We cannot judge by that, don't be surprised that those records can be changed within a blink of an eye and you will see how Manchester City will surprise them, take a look at their own performances as well this season and how they has been making their way through, Manchester City is still in best form this season to prove it ability for a desiring win, consider Villarreal as well this season, we never thought they could have made it this far.

[Minecache]

Yes, it's really interesting for the Champions League at this time because a club like Manchester City, which has not experienced the Champions League title at all, meets a club that has won many Champions League trophies, namely Real Madrid.
So obviously it will be very interesting to wait for this match because two great clubs with a myriad of different experiences are competing in this Champions League.

Now the problem is if villarreal beat any other team instead of Bayern Munich I think it would have been easy to predict that they are going to lose their next match but since they have beat Bayern Munich it is hard to say that they will lose in their next match.
Real Madrid has really surprised almost everyone. but I think it is Benzema who has been giving them the lifelines and without Benzema, there will not be able to go through to the finals. so, I will expect the opponent to somehow keep Benzema quiet.

Villarreal has beaten Bayern Munich with strategy and tactics this club is very lucky, but Villarreal skills and tactics are still far below Liverpool when compared to Liverpool and their match will be plat at home to dominant Liverpool and the statistics will definitely be won by Liverpool.
Benzema has always been a savior for the club, from the past until now. Without that man Real Madrid is nothing

Actually, I agree with both of these points. Liverpool is a really strategic team and I think we all know that Liverpool does not spend a huge amount of money in any transfer market but they still produce great results almost every season. 

It will be really hard for Villarreal to beat Liverpool but it is also hard to predict anything in my opinion.

Benzema has always been a great asset for Real Madrid but I think in the past he had Ronaldo and Bale by his side and that's why we did not recognize what the man is doing for the team, but now it is quite evident.

[yayayo]

Villareal is a team that plays and performs extremely well in the Champions League. Especially the match against Bayern Munich in the first half was of high quality. They should have been 3 or 4-0 at halftime. Perhaps a bit lucky that they made the 1-1 in Munich just before time, but if you play so well, you sometimes force that luck. Liverpool seem a lot more stable than Bayern Munich, but they have also proved vulnerable this season. However, in the Champions League, City and Liverpool are in a league of their own so far.

The players from Liverpool and Bayern are equally strong, but the big difference for me is the coach. Even if Nagelsmann is a good coach, you can't compare him to Klopp and I‘m sure, that he prepares much better for the game.

You also underestimate Real Madrid a lot, for me it's absolutely unclear whether City or Real will be the winner. But what is clear is that the CL continues very exciting. 

[bekti3]

I wish it was like this actually because I wanted the Madrdi Final with Liverpool
But even so we also can not underestimate the City now. Pep guardianola's men are very strong, indeed they reached the Final last season and now they are also very solid so it is still impossible to predict who will win.

I also think the same, the ideal final should be Real Madrid vs Liverpool. I don't determine it because I am a Real Madrid fan, but I assume it based on the possibility of those teams reaching the final round. I don't underestimate Man City and Villareal, they also have the chance to reach the final. But if we analyze their players' quality and their strategy during this season, looks like Real Madrid and Liverpool to defeat them. Once again, it is my own analysis, don't take into the heart for the fans of Man City or Villareal.  

Villarreal are a fine team and their evidence of beating Juventus and Bayern in the previous rounds means that they are fully prepared for anything that is to come and they are anticipating well the moves of teams much bigger than them.
On the other hand, City are also very motivated because they really want to lift the champions trophy there but indeed Liverpool and Madrid are most likely to qualify now.

The main mistake of Bayern Munich was that they devalued the Villarreal team. Moreover, Villarreal was not in good form. So we all assumed the match would be one-sided and Bayern Munich would easily win. But Villarreal surprised everyone by showing their match strategy. If Liverpool want to win against Villarreal, they must be careful. And of course we have to keep our defense strong. However, Liverpool is an experienced team. They will make no mistake against Villarreal.

That type of excuse would be fine if it is just one game, but we are talking about two games. You played the first ame and already lost, Villareal beat you one way or another in the first game. At that point you would realize that you can't undervalue Villareal anymore and need to realize that they are playing amazingly and you have to play with your absolute best to make sure that you could profit.

I am not saying that you can't, you could always undervalue your opponent even if they beat you, which maybe Bayern did but that is not an excuse. Any team, that loses to another team, can't be undervaluing them, they need to realize they are barely surviving and need to work hard to have a chance to beat them.

[lalabotax]

No need to doubt Liverpool is not a team that underestimates opponents I still remember when Liverpool won the first leg against Benfica
Then in the second leg Liverpool continued to play aggressively despite playing the second squad from here we know Liverpool never underestimate the opponent

I have the reason to doubt Liverpool. In the second Leg, they released many substitution players (second squad) that indicate they are not really serious as in Leg 1. You can say that they still played aggressively and they never tried to defend only. But if they were really serious, they won't send key players like Salah and Mane to the bench together. Having no Salah and Mane, made a big change in Liverpool attacking, they must regret it if they failed to qualify for the next round. Luckily, Liverpool already has 2 goals advantage in Leg 1.

[borovichok]

Villarreal has certainly proved that they are not the underdog anymore and they can certainly play like a top tier team in the Champions League. People obviously have second thoughts about them but after they did end up beating Bayern Munich I think people should really believe that they have what it takes and I will not be surprised if I see Real Madrid and Villarreal in the final even though I think it is highly unlikely. the popular belief at the moment is Manchester City and Liverpool are going to be in the finals but I am starting to doubt that.

Manchester City and Liverpool is the fantasy final But it won't be easy for Manchester City to beat Real Madrid and qualified to the final because Real Madrid are a great team with great experience is a 50/50 game for both side but as for Villarreal,they are finished,the semi final is there last bus stop because Liverpool will definitely kill them in both legs be it at England or Spain, Liverpool is well ahead of them and are more focus than Bayern Munich, I don't think they can stand the constant threat of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane or even the new guys Diego Jota and Luis these guys are assassin's

Apparently they were confident of winning, so they put the second team on the pitch, there's nothing wrong with that. The usual practice, to give the main players a little rest from football, morally it is very important. The team played to a draw - maybe it was not the expected result, but the team got on - that's the main thing.

Manchester City and Liverpool, in the opinion of many, are just favorites in their pairs, but everything will really be decided on the football field. The same Real Madrid, in general, has been showing a phenomenal will to win lately, constantly turning the course of matches in its direction, which are not in its favor. Another question is that it is not a fact that it will be possible to constantly do such tricks and the same Manchester City, thanks to its class, may simply not allow it to do this. Because you can't constantly fail whole matches with impunity, and part of the next one and then be reborn as a Phoenix bird. Someday Lady Luck may say stop.

[Davian144]

in terms of quality, Man City and Real Madrid are almost equal, even this season Man City is more consistent, but Real Madrid's mentality is higher when playing on the UCL stage, it will be very difficult indeed both have the same opportunity to qualify for the final.
while in other matches Liverpool are the favorites to beat Villarreal but it is also possible that Villarreal can surprise again.

I'm even really looking forward to Real Madrid and Liverpool to qualify for the final so they can both meet to fight for the Champions League trophy this season because it will be very interesting to see two strong clubs coming from different leagues (Spain and England) so there is a possibility for surprises to occur even more interesting in the fight between the two of them.

Not really sure with Manchester City vs Liverpool as fantasy final on Champion League because most interested final between Spain and English team, I think Real Madrid vs Liverpool most interested final. But still waiting with semifinal result because everything could make us surprise when seeing Villareal as mediocre team success lead until semifinal after defeating Juventus and Bayern Munich. Have chance for Villareal although with mediocre and not favorite team will lead to final if success give impressive performance against with Liverpool.

Of course Liverpool have also seen Bayern Munich when they were eliminated by Villarreal in this season's Champions League and it will be a very valuable lesson for Liverpool as well where every opponent who is not an opponent in the Champions League does not need to be underestimated because it can destroy itself.
Because this is about a very serious event and also watched by everyone in the world.

I also really hope the two big clubs compete against each other in the final match, but it looks like Man. City vs Madrid is the toughest consideration in deciding which strong club will advance to the final, but whoever wins the first leg in the semi-finals has a high chance of qualifying for the final.

Playing with reserved players is not more than strategy purpose because Liverpool had facing tight schedules in premier league, FA Cup and champion league and rotated their players will makes some of players in the good conditions for upcoming matches so it is normal for big teams in Europe because mostly for each season the teams will playing at several competitions and regarding the match against Benfica i'm sure Klopp has been predict it and in fact he can managed Liverpool went to semi-final

But it will be more interesting if Manchester City and Liverpool meet in the final, this will be a competition again because in the League they are also competing for trophies this season. It's not impossible if they meet will share the trophy.
But I personally want Real Madrid and Liverpool to qualify for the final, because this will be a revenge mission for Liverpool against Real Madrid.
