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

[SatoPrincess]

There is nothing wrong with your prediction but you know how Villarreal reached the semi-finals they are really full of struggle
They wouldn't pass up such an opportunity after all. Another note when reaching the semifinals there is no more favorite team because the strength of each team is almost the same other than that we can see from their journey to reach this stage.

Until now Villarreal is underdog for this season and after beating Bayern Munich they have fair chance but with current form of Liverpool I am feeling they have no chance for advancing into final because they are currently complete package and have very good target for all cups in their wallet for this season right now they already won EFL Cup and now reached into the FA Cup after ten years staying at second spot into Premier League and having semi-final against them it is amazing job for any team so with this all I am not allowing them to be in final now their race is already ended here, and they have done more than their ability which is good enough.

Liverpool's aggression and their attitude in current season is amazing and with this all four out of four titles are under their belt which could be historic season for them under Klopp because he managed them in amazing way for these titles.

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.

Villarreal are one of the strongest teams in the UEFA Champion's League this season that's been underrated probably because of the pedigree/successes of their opponents though or maybe because they are not doing so great in the La Liga. People are giving the semifinals tie to Liverpool, Villareal though a big team by their own right but are obviously the underdog when Liverpool is matched with them. Liverpool have to be wary about Villarreal though because they have conveniently knocked out strong teams out of the competition.

[Alanaz]

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.

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.

That's for sure but if you look at the first leg that Madrid always play I think they will definitely be a bit defensive in this match and occasionally attack with quick counter-attacks. maybe it will happen like when facing PSG in the first Leg and when facing Chelsea in their Leg 2.
In terms of midfield they are quite balanced with Bruyne in the City midfield and Kroos as the general of the pass in the Madrid camp.

Every team that qualifies for the semi-finals is strong. Maybe Villarreal's performance in La Liga is poor. But their performance in the Champions League is good. However, compared to the Liverpool team, Villarreal will be a little behind. Because Liverpool has a lot of star players, which Villarreal does not have. However, Villarreal's match strategy is good. So I think the match between Liverpool and Villarreal will be competitive and enjoyable.

When it comes to the champions league, ofcourse there are strong teams but that does not rule over the fact that some teams have an easy run to the semi finals of the champions, if you see Liverpool run of ties to the semi final, you can confirm this statement. Villareal is a tactically disciplined but poor team, and i strongly believe Liverpool will score more goals than them to see the Finals of the champions league.

Tuchel was the problem in the Chelsea's game not the players. I sincerely can't blame any of the players but the coach who failed to make the right substitutions at the right time. Even if he didn't want to substitute, he should have switched to been more defensive. It was clearly useless to prove to be brave by attacking Real Madrid all through the most of the 90 minutes, most of the players ran out of gas and I don't think Ramadan fast is excuse for Kante whatsoever because Benzema in the Real Madrid was fasting too.

It seems Tuchel forgot Real Madrid have a winning mentality, even though Chelsea were 3 goals ahead until 75 minutes, I agree Tuchel should
give instructions to his players to play defensively. But Chelsea still continued to play attacking, maybe Tuchel underestimated Real Madrid when
they were 3 goals ahead. This is a valuable lesson for Chelsea, that never underestimate a team like Real Madrid. It was painful for Chelsea to be
eliminated in the quarter-finals, but at least Chelsea can still get the FA Cup trophy, because Chelsea made it into the final and had to face Liverpool
in the final. Hopefully Chelsea can beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final and can be a little comforted from the failure in the Champions League this year.

I think when against with Real Madrid on second leg left 15 minutes and lead 0-3 good thing for keep defensive without care for continue scoring goal again, but Chelsea made several mistake before Karim Benzema destroy and eliminating Chelsea from champion league after last season success as the winner after defeating Manchester City on champion league final. Still have chance for Chelsea get trophy on FA Cup after lead to final last night but Liverpool is not easy for defeating on final.

Villareal is a surprise team in the Champions League this season because Villareal was able to get rid of two great teams in the Champions League such as Juventus and Bayern Muchen, for the upcoming match if judged on paper Liverpool will easily silence Villareal, because Liverpool have a squad of star players if  compared to Villareal, but this reason is not a benchmark for choosing Liverpool considering Villareal surprising move in the Champions League. so interesting to follow.

[Daniel91]

For the draw between Liverpool and Villarreal, I believe that Liverpool are very close to advancing to final round in the Champions League. Villarreal might not be that strong against them this time. Or I can put it this way: Liverpool would dominate the game in Anfield for certain. But as for the game in Spain, Villarreal would show a strong performance against them and wouldn't lose easily.

Even where they are now is a feat for Villareal. I think Liverpool will eliminate them. There may even be two English teams in the final. Manchester City can knock out Real Madrid. In such a final, the chances of both teams would be equal. Let's see if Villareal can make another surprise and make it to the final.

Many football experts predict the grand final of Liverpool and Manchester City in the Champions League.
But those same football experts also predicted a sure victory for Bayern against Villareal, and they also said that Chelsea have no chance in return to Madrid, right? 
Villarreal have a very good defense and will be a very difficult opponent for Liverpool and Real have already shown this season in the Champions League that they are a cat with 9 lives and that they should never be written off.
Very uncertain and completely open semi-final matches await us, and the current inspiration and individual quality of the players will decide.

Actually not only the experts I think nobody thought those teams that actually got through in the next stage had any chance of qualifying. but obviously, we can see that football is a crazy game and crazy things can happen. actually, anyone is going to think Bayern Munich is going to win in a match against Villarreal. but that didn't happen and I think now Villarreal has the confidence to play like a top-tier team. But I obviously don't think they will be in the finals and I also expect Liverpool and Manchester City to be in the finals.

There have been many bigger surprises in the Champions League in the past.
Does anyone remember Bayer 04 Leverkusen who played in the Champions League final with Real 2002?
Villarreal is a very dangerous team with a strong defense and fast attacks and every club will have big problems with them.
Liverpool, of course, have better chances against them, but Bayern also had better chances, so we know what happened 

[asus09]

Finally the champions league has entered the semifinals, two representatives from England and two representatives from Spain faced each other in the semifinals of the champions league, according to my predictions Liverpool vs Villarreal, I am optimistic that Liverpool will win,
Real Madrid vs Manchester city, in my opinion, Real Madrid will again beat representatives from England, Maybe this year the final meeting will bring together Real Madrid vs Liverpool, but I placed a bet that Liverpool will win the champion title this year.

Judging by the paper, Liverpool are much stronger than Villarreal. However, don't forget that Villarreal beat Bayern Munich to qualify for the semi-finals. And Bayern Munich were much stronger than Villarreal. So I would say it doesn't matter which team is strong on paper in this round. The team that performs well on the field will win.

in football anything is still possible even though Liverpool are still very strong when viewed from the quality of the players and also the game they show.
but this is the semi-final of the Champions League where there are the best teams that have eliminated their opponents. I think the team here is the most prepared team and of course the battle between Liverpool and Villarreal will be very fierce. I think both still have the same chances even though Liverpool are very advantaged.

I want to see Liverpool in the Champions League final. I agree with you that Villarreal's tactics are excellent but they are a weak team. And it is not always possible to win by relying on good tactics alone. Need a strong squad with good tactics. And Liverpool's squad is strong enough, at the same time their coach Jurgen Klopp is very experienced. So the chances of Liverpool winning this match are high

Finally the champions league has entered the semifinals, two representatives from England and two representatives from Spain faced each other in the semifinals of the champions league, according to my predictions
Liferpol vs Villarreal, I am optimistic that Liferpol will win,
Real Madrid vs Manchester city, in my opinion, Real Madrid will again beat representatives from England,
Maybe this year the final meeting will bring together Real Madrid vs Liferpol.
But I placed a bet that Liferpol will win the champion title this year.

England placed 2 representatives in the semifinals as well as Spain which also placed 2 representatives in the semifinals of the Champions League this season, where Real Madrid VS Manchester City and Liverpool vs Villarreal, although there are a lot of people who believe that Real Madrid vs Liverpool in the final match of course it's a prediction.the final is too early we remember there will also be surprises that will happen can Villarreal beat Liverpool or Manchester city get rid of real Madrid we never know what will happen in the world of football where the Champions league this season is full of surprises

Looks like your wish to see Liverpool qualify for the Champions League final will come true, because as you said Villarreal are a weak team.
So the chances of Villarreal to qualify for the final are very small, Villarreal can't always be lucky by relying on a good strategy. It is proven
that Villarreal's appearance in La Liga is inconsistent and only able to be in 7th position, it means that Villarreal's performance is not as good as
when playing in the Champions League. When compared to Liverpool, the performance in both the Premier League and the Champions League is
just as good.

Moreover, if we look at the Villarreal squad, the majority of which are mediocre players, they can get rid of Bayern, that sounds like luck.
I think Bayern underestimated Villarreal too much, so Bayern were eliminated. Meanwhile, Klopp is an experienced coach and never underestimates
any of his opponents. So Liverpool will not be affected by the playing strategy of Villarreal. I see Liverpool have good quality players and are
supported by a good strategy as well. The combination of a good strategy and quality players, of course, will give birth to a good game too.
Because for me it is very difficult to imagine if Liverpool fail to qualify for the final.

Football does not only rely on luck, it takes a qualified squad to make them a strong team, the coach is also very decisive, how they can mix the best squad in a match, Liverpool already has a big name in the Champions League arena, this proves that big names are also very important. influence in dealing with opponents, because speaking of experience and history Liverpool is a big team, so it is very likely that Liverpool can get past that

[Mamun74]

Waiting for interesting and big match Manchester  City vs Real Madrid. I Think both team can be qualified for final.Both team are strong enough. Manchester and Real Madrid played very well this season.Specially, Real Madrid very lucky in Champion League . What do you think who will qualify for Final?

Manchester City you see they're the better side my fear is that some players are now injured and can not play for the club.
If you look at the way real Madrid played against Chelsea and Sevilla if they do that against Manchester City Guardiola will use this well and win them.
Also he can play Spanish sides very well.

The match between the two teams will be like a final, I'm sure of that. both teams are contenders for champions in their local leagues. the final match between the two should be very decent. but this meeting will determine which one of them will qualify for the final.
I can't bet on the victory in the next match. but my favorite to qualify is Manchester City.
on the other hand, hope Villarreal gets a bigger chance to qualify. because if it's going to be an English final, it looks like it will reduce the excitement in the final later.

[Rruchi man]

Real Madrid vs Manchester city, in my opinion, Real Madrid will again beat representatives from England,
Maybe this year the final meeting will bring together Real Madrid vs Liverpool.

I like Benzema to win this Balon d'or, but they will have to play very well get past Manchester city. Unlike Real Madrid with a stronger attack than defense, Manchester city is a much more balanced team attack wise and defensively, a little mistake on the part of Real Madrid could cause them the game.

I placed a bet that Liverpool will win the champion title this year.

Most definitely an English team for the cup, most likely Liverpool if they meet Manchester City again, that's if they pass Real Madrid of course. Reason being that they have play Manchester city a couple of times this period and should be familiar with winning them. Keeping my fingers crossed to see how the next stage goes.
