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

[Cnut237]

Villarreal deserve all the appreciation now. They had a really tough opponent in the end and it would be even a greater success if they managed to eliminate Liverpool too. And after score became 2-0, actually I started to doubt Liverpool a little. But Liverpool captured the control of the match later and finished them off by 3-2. But I really saw the worry in the eyes of Liverpool players after being 2-0 behind. It wasn't too easy for them to qualify for final round. And Villarreal must still be very happy with Emery now.

They definitely deserve a lot of credit. No team in the world could be expected to pull back a two goal deficit against Liverpool... but Villareal did just that, and really pushed Liverpool a lot more than the aggregate scoreline suggests. In the end, I would say the Villareal goalkeeper in the second leg didn't help them particularly, but arguably Liverpool would have found a way to win whoever was in goal.

Congratulations to Liverpool on their win by 3-2 over Villarreal and qualifying for the finale as well. But I'd like to appreciate Villarreal's performance in both matches also. They were very impressive especially in the rematch. I even doubted Liverpool's chance to make it to the finale for once. This is really promising for their future and maybe they can be more successful in the coming years if they continue to do better. And tonight, we have the Real Madrid - Manchester City match finally. I'll definitely watch it as well and will be favouring Real Madrid.

Villarreal must be really unhappy to lose their chance for the final like that. They were equal after getting 2-0 ahead but it didn't last long. Liverpool turned the match around incredibly and won 3-2. But I'm sure about especially one thing that both of Villarreal and Liverpool supporters must have enjoyed this game with a high tempo. They watched five goals in total. Villarreal supporters were beside their team like all the time during this matchup. It must still be feeling good for the players at least.

I would say Villarreal players should be cheerful as they were successes level the match in the first half. Liverpool concede two early goals quite unaccepted for me, and I can say there are many more who were unhappy. However, the early two goals adds extra temperature in the match and yes supporters have enjoyed a lot. 5 goals were made, subsequently Liverpool dominated the match by ruling.

Even though Villareal could not reach the final, their struggle deserves thumbs up. because it has provided an extraordinary game throughout the first half and until the last round. I think they've done a great job and that's something that is difficult for other clubs to achieve. So they don't need to be discouraged, because maybe next season they will be much better than now. Not a few who praised Villareal after yesterday's game.

[ShowOff]

That was a great and brave performance from Villarreal. Right at the beginning, many were still hoping that there could be a miracle today. And after the second goal, they only had to hold out for 45 minutes. But then the pressure and the quality of Liverpool was too much. Nevertheless, a great performance by Villarreal. And congratulations to Liverpool and Klopp.

True, I saw them very well in the first half but then everything changed after Liverpool managed to break the deadlock in the second half. Villareal's strategy was effective in preventing Liverpool from scoring in the first half but failed miserably in the second half so Liverpool managed to make sure they qualified for the final safely.

Today, Real Madrid will host Manchester City and I hope it's not a boring match. My prediction is that both teams will score, but Manchester City will return to the final this season with a win by more than 2 goals. I hope my prediction is correct because it's hard to say the match ends in a draw, but of course Real Madrid have a chance to beat Manchester City today.

I can't see it being a boring match. It's everything to play for, very finely balanced, but Madrid know they have to score, so it can't just be both teams sitting back and playing a cautious game. With the attacking abilities of both teams, and the high-scoring first leg, this does look like it could be a really exciting semi-final.

I don't really know who I'd prefer to go through. On the one hand Madrid, because Liverpool vs Man City is just an all-England domestic match. But on the other hand... Liverpool and Man City have been fighting all year, and a final showdown for the biggest tournament in club football would be a great way to finish the season.

Liverpool played an offensive defense game last now and haven't seen how the club went from goalless in the first half to score 3 goals in the second half is highly comendable trashing Villarreal out of the champion league qualifying leg.
Back to the topic of which club plays the finals, I will say Manchester City vs Liverpool will not be a bad idea and it will be a finalist display of the two top clubs if Manchester City defeats Real Madrid in tonight's game.

[gabbie2010]

Liverpool really finished their incomplete job by winning 3-2 against Villarreal in Spain. But I can't say such thing as it was easy for them to do so. It was totally the opposite in fact. Because I've never seen Villarreal this much great in the Champions League so far. I mean only the first half of course as they were 2-0 ahead at the end of it. Later on, things changed and they got a disappointing result unfortunately. Liverpool have started waiting for their opponent now which is going to be decided today.

Liverpool and Klopp have really gone crazy this season. after the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals they are now really doing their final back in the Champions League and with this of course they still have a pretty big chance to win all the trophies now, they are not too concerned about the busy schedule and instead they refuse to give up everything it's currently.

it's a great achievement for both Klopp and Liverpool, they are really in control of everything now

In addition to Liverpool aspiration to win both FA and Champion League they are really competing to win the English Premier League too, it's was obvious that after a remarkable comeback against Villarreal yesterday, Klopp substituted some of his key players in readiness and preparation for their next match against Tottenham which is a must win match invariably to consistently mount pressure on Man City, the club is ambitious to win a quadruple this season after winning Carabao's Cup already and I believe if they are consistent in their performance that aim is achievable.

Tonight Champions league game Real Madrid vs Manchester City is going to a superb match to watch,
And I expect a classical display or show off from Gladiola side Manchester City.
I believe they're going to maintain their leading and winning record against Real Madrid today.

In terms of the quality of the game, Leipzig is indeed better and it was very visible in the first leg match even though Leipzig was only 1 goal ahead. but that way there is still a high possibility for them to win again in the second leg when playing at home to Rangers.
while West Ham also played better in the first leg but they lost to make it a little difficult for them in the second leg later when playing at home to Frankfurt, although anything is still possible and this match will be quite interesting because the game between the two teams is very balanced.

Unexpectedly, Villarreal actually played very well in the first half. Villarreal were able to score two goals in the first half and had forced the aggregate to be 2-2. Unfortunately, in the second half they reduced the intensity of the game and allowed Liverpool to score three goals back to seal the victory that saw Liverpool qualify for the Champions League final.

Liverpool's quality was very evident in the second half, in the second half they were able to get up even though in the first half they had to concede 2 goals. Liverpool's winning mentality. They deserved to win the second leg and they deserved to be in the final too, because at the moment they are one of the best teams in Europe.

[_BlackStar]

Back to the topic of which club plays the finals, I will say Manchester City vs Liverpool will not be a bad idea and it will be a finalist display of the two top clubs if Manchester City defeats Real Madrid in tonight's game.

However, I want Manchester City to qualify for the final this season compared to Real Madrid because I think the England final between Manchester City vs Liverpool is much more spectacular than Liverpool vs Real Madrid. But whichever team road to today's final between Manchester City or Real Madrid, then I firmly believe that Liverpool will win the Champions League title this season.

Even though I'm a Liverpool supporter, but for the Madrid vs City match I think Manchester City will still be the favorite in this match. They have shown their quality in the first leg, so I think they will also in the second even though Santiago Bernabue is Madrid's home ground.

But of course Manchester City must be wary of the comeback of Real Madrid because so far they are known as the king of comebacks in the Champions League. Both have chances of qualifying, but I'm support the England team today.

[asrinur]

Man City vs Real Madrid, I'm sure people will be looking forward to a very decisive match where Real Madrid will play at home. at least they have some positive points to go ahead and equalize on aggregate. Real Madrid appearance is clearly expected to be optimal, after having won a position in La Liga so they can now focus more on trying out Man City. There is a possibility that the match that will take place will be a little dramatic.

The Real Madrid vs Man City match will be fierce. Both teams still have the same chance of qualifying for the final, although Real Madrid will have to work extra hard in this match because they are one goal down on aggregate in the first leg. Moreover, Real Madrid will play in front of their own supporters and also they have just sealed the La Liga title, so that in the match later they will be more confident to face Man City.

Unfortunately, in the second half they reduced the intensity of the game and allowed Liverpool to score three goals back to seal the victory that saw Liverpool qualify for the Champions League final.

Rulli (the Villarreal goalie) also had a part to play in Villarreal's exit from the Champions league last night, he was extremely poor across the two legs, he made numerous errors when the both sides met at Anfield, and i am pretty sure if Unai Emery had a better makeshift goalkeeper, then Rulli would not have started that game yesterday. I am not saying their exit was entirely his fault, but when your team is playing the way Villarreal was playing last night, you have to bail them out when it comes down to you, but everytime Villarreal needed him to help the team, he just let in cheap goals; shambolic.

Tonight we await the team set to join Liverpool in the final in paris in a few weeks time, i am going with City, for obvious reasons actually, but with Madrid you never can tell, at least until the 90 minutes are all up.

The advantage in the second leg will actually be with Manchester City, because they only need to find a draw in the match later, but the problem now is that Madrid, which is known as the king of the Champions League, of course will not allow Manchester City to be able to score goals at the Bernabeu later, aggregate one 1 goal is likely to make Manchester City play a little open later and will focus more on making a stronger defense than yesterday first leg.

At least we really hope for a very entertaining match and of course, no matter how fierce it is, it will be much better than yesterday match. Because Manchester City is risking its reputation here with Real Madrid. I believe the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match will be much more exciting.

It is undeniable that Liverpool is one of the best teams in Europe. Liverpool showed its quality with a team that has a high level of maturity. Their winning mentality was phenomenal, this was shown in the second half which was able to catch up with 2 goals to reverse the score to 2-3 for Liverpool's victory. Even in this season Liverpool have the opportunity to win a quadruple. If Liverpool are able to achieve a quadruple, then they will be the only team to do so and will be remembered throughout history.

Not necessarily and difficult to predict as both teams are top of the table in their respective leagues, and considering Real Madrid can always turn things around and lose 1-0 in the first leg is not a comfortable position.
everything can turn things around and this match will be a more interesting match than the Villarreal vs Liverpool match yesterday.

of course this will be an interesting and very fierce match, Real Madrid last week have confirmed themselves as champions of La Liga of course that way they will look at this second leg with high confidence, Agg 1 goal is not a difficult thing for the team to work on Real Madrid, they have done it several times this year on the UCL stage, against PSG and Chelsea.
