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

[MinoRaiola]

Omg, what's going on here... i just looked at the liveticker and there's really an absolutely unexpected result for me. 45 minutes played and it's really 2:0, that's extremely unexpected. Now break and FC Villarreal dominated the game. Now it starts from 0, as if it hadn't happened before. But the motivation is now with Villarreal.  

[meser#]

The first half ended with Villerreal's score of 2-0. Liverpool certainly did not expect such a score. Villerreal is mentally very well prepared for this rematch. If Klopp can't motivate his players at halftime, he'll have to say goodbye to the champions league. Villarreal will not give the finale ticket easily to Liverpool from here  

[Marykeller]

Villarreal always favourite team in their home match like today.what a interesting match it is! First Half villarreal played outstanding.What happened with Liverpool player, they didn’t  take single short on target.Now aggregate 2-2,I hope Villarreal will be more score in 2nd half.I hope Villarreal will be Qualified in UCL final this season. What do you thik,who will be reached the UCL final Villarreal or Liverpool?

2-0 down the first leg. Who could ever believe that Villarreal could draw Liverpool this first leg? Am dump founded in this match? No attempt made so far from Liverpool. Will Liverpool turn around the table to their favour in the second half? This first half is full of hell for them. This should be Liverpool's chance of winning the champions league trophy. If Liverpool misses it, it will be difficult for them to get to this stage again

[coinlocket$]

2-0 and 2-2 aggregate.

So far Liverpool is doing nothing and deserves to go out from the Champions.

Villareal is just dominating the game.

I am upset and disappointed to see Liverpool's performance. They played completely defensive in the first half. And conceded two goals. I don't understand why Liverpool are playing defensively. Liverpool is not a weak team. And their forwards are very strong. Even then Liverpool played defensively and conceded two goals. In the second half they have no choice but to play attacking game, if they can't score they can't go to the final.

Quite surprised by the results of the first half that were obtained by liverpool, liverpool which was too superior after a 2-0 win over villareal in the first leg, actually did not show a good game today due to a hard and solid game from villareal, a temporary victory 2-0 Villareal against Liverpool at this time means that Villareal have reopened their chances of qualifying for the final and it even looks like bets are now starting to shift towards Villareal's win.

[visionE2]

Villarreal appear effective in the first half. Villarreal was able to record 56% possession and fired two shots on target which all led to goals. Interestingly, two players who have played in the Premier League namely Etienne Capoue and Francis Coquelin were involved in Villarreal's two goals against Liverpool in the first half. The two players have both played in North London.

[tarable]

A tense match. Villarreal was able to score 2 goals against Liverpool in the 60th minute. Meanwhile, Liverpool have been in a very depressed position so far. If in the 70th minute Liverpool are not able to score 1 goal against Villarreal, then Liverpool's chance to qualify must be postponed until the 15:15 extra time round and it could go to the penalty shootout stage. Villarreal really have ambitions to reach the final

You're right, under normal circumstances, Liverpool should have been ahead against Villarreal. But we are facing a surprises because Villarreal worked better for this rematch and against their opponent Liverpool. The best Liverpool can do for now is to score a goal before it's too late. Otherwise Villarreal will score another goal and a tour ticket will become almost impossible for Liverpool.

The result in the first half was completely beyond our expectations Liverpool play with the main squad but can't do anything like in the first leg
Honestly in this situation I doubt Liverpool so far there has been no improvement in their game, is this the effect of a quick goal? Salah and Mane seem to have lost their speed no shots on target.

*Well Liverpool just scored the first goal  

[examplens]

I am not sure whether they ^Villareal can withstand this intensity for 90 minutes. this is something that Liverpool is used to in PL but one more goal can turn everything in another direction

Look at the bright side though, its half time and Villarreal leading with 2 goals as well so they are both tied for now. The next 45 minutes is going to be super intense and Liverpool just need to score 1 more goal to secure the next round. Villarreal need to score 2 goals if Liverpool score a goal therefore the next 45 minutes will be pretty much Liverpool's chance to go with full attacking strategy and Villarreal defending on the line, totally interesting

Nope, away goals have no more double power. Even if Villareal wins in regular time 3:1, is considered equal and additional time will be played.
I'm a little surprised that Villareal plays aggressively and openly in the second part as well, I expected them to be more defensive now that they equalized.

[hyudien]

It's really hard to believe that Villarreal can score 2 goals without a reply against Liverpool. Well, even though things can still change but what Villarreal has done is quite incredible. I think, Liverpool will not just stand still, but they need an improvement, because if they still played like in the first half then Villarreal could be the ones to score again.

There was a slight change in the second half which had just started. Liverpool look a little depressed this time. Although the execution in the penalty box did not produce a goal. At least they did an evaluation. The increasingly tight match clearly added to our tension as spectators.

There is no question that Villarreal can score two or three goals against Liverpool but the real questions will be whether their defence can keep more goals out. For now, they are doing well because Liverpool have not proved themselves as a top team yet. But if they do then the Reds could have serious problems. However, 30+ minutes is a long period in football, there is no doubt that it will be tight until the end of the game.

I don't notice the presence of Liverpool's forward players in today's match. Liverpool made a total of 19 shots in the first leg. In today's match they have made only 6 shots in 60 minutes. Despite conceding two goals, I don't see any good attack from the Liverpool players. There has been a sudden decline in the performance of Liverpool players. If they still fail to score, they will concede one more goal before 90 minutes and lose the hope to play in the final.

[DatKing]

Villarreal showed an amazing performance in the first half and finished it 2-0 ahead also. But Liverpool have just scored the devastating goal for Villarreal and made the score 2-1. Now, Villarreal need to score another goal again. It is going to be a really big disappointment for Villarreal if they can't manage to win this despite performing very nicely. If they qualify for the finale, it is going to be their biggest success in their history. But I don't think that Liverpool will let them do so at the end of the match.

EDIT: Liverpool have just scored another goal and it is 2-2 now. What an interesting match we are having.    As of now, I think Liverpool won't have a big difficulty in making it to the finale.

[retreat]

Villarreal had a strong motivation in the first half to qualify for the final, if there was no goal from Fabinho then it was a big opportunity for Villarreal. currently the aggregate of villareal vs liverpool is 3-2, both teams play carefully, if liverpool is unlucky then villareal can score another goal.

[Slow death]

And I wouldn't be surprised if Villarreal won 2-0.

Villarreal has showed that they deserve to be here in the champions league and at this stage, the scoreline definitely unexpected especially at halftime. I'd say that's especially good especially for Emery the manager of Villarreal whose tactics in the game has worked very well in the first 45.

Villarreal are giving Liverpool a dose of their own medicine, keeping a very high defensive line and breaking up Liverpool's fast counter attacking. In the second half, klopp who is very good with tactics may introduce a new style and players like Diaz to facilitate the game.

The second half will definitely offer more excitement, both teams know what's on the line especially Liverpool.

villareal is a shit team, low level and they don't play anything. the problem is that liverpool is playing badly, it's not because villareal is a good team, it's just because liverpool is playing very badly, in that pathetic way that liverpool is playing even the smallest team in the premier league would beat liverpool if were playing like this. see that liverpool's attack is non-existent in this game, they don't even cause a real danger to villareal, it looks like the liverpool players are exhausted, it may be due to pressure in the premier league, anyway liverpool has already scored a goal, so they already have they have an advantage in the aggregate, now they will focus on defense. I lost my bet

now it is

liverpool 2 - 2 villareal

just one more goal for liverpool to win the game

The score has been 2-3. I actually didn't expect Villarreal to be ahead in the first half, fortunately there was a goal from Fabinho that cheered up the whole team, and the second three goal happened again even not 20 minutes had passed. I'm happy to watch this match, Villarreal's performance is beyond expectations when playing at home.

Fierce revenge from Liverpool

[Sterbens]

One answer: it's difficult when Liverpool have a comeback, they will almost not believe that goals will continue to be created. And this is what they wanted to do in the second half. At first it was almost sceptical, but well Liverpool always make quick changes.
