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

[Sterbens]

The game between Madrid and Manchester City is getting harder than most speculators expected as almost half time into the game and no team has made any goal score as both clubs top in their group stages this is going to be the determinant game for who faces Liverpool in the finals.

match stats show man city slightly ahead of madrid...

The first half is almost over.. Mancity's "shot on goal" is 3 while madrid has 0 "shot on goal"

it seems that Carletto has to change Madrid's strategy so that they can more freely enter the Man City defense which looks very sturdy.

A position that does not support Real Madrid where in the first half they could not score a single goal. indicates that Manchester City game can still be fully controlled. Although the two are quite balanced, it seems that the emotional control of the Real Madrid players is not too controlled.

Real Madrid - Manchester City match is still 0-0 now and there is no dominance of any team for now. This is good and bad for Manchester City at the same time. It is good because they are able to stand still in this match and the current score would be enough for them to be the other finalist. It is bad because Real Madrid also have the same amount of chances as them to score. Real Madrid's scoring one goal would change everything for this match. I can't wait to watch the second half already now.  

Manchester city dominated the match a bit while Madrid didn't do anything It's a bit strange when Madrid need goals and win but not much effort
This situation is certainly more favorable to Manchester City on their advantage in the first leg but yeah it's only half time there's still 45 minutes left
I know Madrid can do anything in the last minute like they did when they beat PSG let's just watch.

Only 1 -1 between Real and City, meh the game seem to be very boring, especially after the result from the 1st leg.


Benzema got a good shot in the end of the 1st half but he missed.

[Roidz]

The score 0-0 ended the first half of the match between madrid and manchester today, since the match started the two teams continued to exchange attacks to create the first goal in today match but the solid defense and also the alacrity of the two goalkeepers make both teams failed to score, I think any the difference was stark in the manchester city defense today, the presence of walker in defense made the manchester city defense very strong and this is different from the first leg when walker was injured, walker discipline in defending clearly made Vinicius look frustrated every time he dribbled the ball towards the manchester city defense.

We still have a 0-0 score. What a big difference from last week's game. Real Madrid have to score goals, but we haven't had any great opportunities yet. Man city has more ball possession and better field play, but that's not saying much. Real Madrid will have to do something else because they are not going to make it on this foot. Still expect some goals here.

Against what many people thought that there will be much goals in tonight match. I was also saying that things might go the other way. Half time goaless. By this time yesterday we have seen 2 goals and tension was high.
Now that we are about to enter the second half, I know that Guardiola will likely introduce Fenerdinho to lock the midfield and defence and see if the match could end goalless and Manchester City will be at the final.
This second half will be more interesting than the first half and Karim Benzema will get a goal this second half.

So far Courtois is playing well by making 4 brilliant saves for his team. He managed to thwart Manchester City's chances in the first half so Real Madrid didn't concede in the first half. The match ended goalless in the first half, but I'm sure in the second half the tension will increase especially as Real Madrid are desperate to score to win.

I hope Manchester City didn't to play defensively in the second half even though they still hold the aggregate advantage, Manchester City need to score goals to increase their chances of qualifying for the final and really I imagine the second half will be better than the first half.

Yes the first half has just ended and it was a very tactical game and no where near as exciting as the first leg. I also think that this was to be expected though because everything can be lost today if you are making one mistake after all while in the first leg the players can risk more because there is still a second leg where you can make up for mistakes that you have made. Today though it is obvious that Real Madrid is playing very carefully because they know that if ManCity manages to score first then it is pretty much game over for them. At the moment it is still completely open but the longer the games goes on the higher the probability that ManCity will go through.

[Smartvirus]

Madrid's dominance is very strong now and if you look at Madrid it looks even more intimidating now, although indeed they are still quite difficult there because there are indeed most of City's players in their defense line when Madrid attack.

Benzema's chances some time ago were very good but unfortunately he failed even though he had faced the goalkeeper.

I don't see any dominance coming from either side in this game this far. It's been a balanced game with both sides constituting some promising control that could have result in a real danger within each others halves. Manchester City have got far more dangerous attacks on the Real Madrid post than we can say of Real Madrid on there rivals. We've seen G. Jesus, P Foden and K. De Bruyne with T. Courtesy stepping in although, that of G. Jesus was very much not on target but, theybare able to find this space.
On like Real Madrid which is still struggling and there shots have been way off target. K. Benzema's chances could have come in the 30 minutes plus but, he wasn't able to manage a ball control with the defence mounted on him. Vini Jnr could be Real Madrid's saviour in this game but, his got to get his shots on target.

yes it's true that real madrid didn't look too calm, there were 6 shots but none of them went towards goal, even though Real Madrid was able to control the game in the first round. Hopefully in the second half Real Madrid can play calmly and make quick goals.

Bith teams play have been very impressive in the first  45 minutes of the game. Though critically looking at there style of play I sense that both teams are very careful on the pitch to avoid any costly mistake.

I may disagree with you that real Madrid have been intimidating in this first half, cause City has had good chances to as Madrid, taking a look at the perfect long range shot by Foden as one of many.

As for the defensive lines, City is doing well with the likes of K.Walker tackling down all the moves of Vini Jnr. But let see what the next 45 minutes have to give.

That if it doesn't get to extra time! Lolz

With the second half ongoing and both clubs on the high spirit of who makes the first goals score, Manchester City seems to be having the big opportunity to having difficulty in converting them to gaols, any of the club that make the first goal score is the second half will possibly win the match or the match may end with a goalless draw as it looks.

[arallmuus]

Liverpool this season is indeed very extraordinary both in the league and champions league

Actually all three teams left are great in their local league

A position that does not support Real Madrid where in the first half they could not score a single goal. indicates that Manchester City game can still be fully controlled. Although the two are quite balanced, it seems that the emotional control of the Real Madrid players is not too controlled.

Well its not looking good for Real Madrid currently but look at the big picture though. Real Madrid just needed to score a goal and they are going to get to the next round, given their previous record I think this is viable. Aside from that, its petty even on the 1st half but if City scores another goal then its going to be interesting as Madrid will be focusing solely on attacking

So far Courtois is playing well by making 4 brilliant saves for his team. He managed to thwart Manchester City's chances in the first half so Real Madrid didn't concede in the first half. The match ended goalless in the first half, but I'm sure in the second half the tension will increase especially as Real Madrid are desperate to score to win.

Interestingly in this match Madrid still haven't done a Shoot on Target for them in contrast to City who even have fewer chances than Madrid but their 4 kicks really troubled Courtois in this match.
Luckily, Courtois is still quite agile in this match. Hopefully there will be many goals that will occur in the second half because this will be more exciting I think

If you are really watching the match you will know that real Madrid is trying to score Manchester city since the match started, man city was playing with pressure when the match started but real Madrid is not giving them breathing space, if i should grade i will grade real Madrid higher because of their method of trying the post, the attempt they made to score Manchester city is up to four times on target, this match will end with 1:0 or either 1:1 because the match tough

[MinoRaiola]

Incredibly, it's still 0-0 and that's with the extremely strong offensive of both teams. It looks like, City are playing for a draw and just waiting for the one and only chance to score. If it's still 0-0 until the 70th minute, than will go on a massive offensive.

[Woodie]

Real Madrid has not registered a shot on target this far, which tells you how difficult it is to find some chances but overall Real Madrid has had better goal scoring chances in front of goal except they have had poor execution tonight...Can this game register some goals already   Benzema or Junior do something 🤔

[retreat]

The hosts are really blunt in this match. The second half had almost entered the 70th minute but there had not been a single goal created apart from that, Madrid's attack in the second half was not much different from the first half. if it continues like this until the game ends then man city will advance to the final with a victory from 4-3 on aggregate.

Real Madrid needs improvement because the tight guard carried out by Man City made it difficult for Real Madrid to penetrate. Besides that, Real Madrid's right side also looks less effective and I think Real Madrid needs to play Rodrygo because he has good movement, and maybe it will liven up their right side.

[darxiaomi]

Very bad first time, not very interesting to see.
The most remarkable thing, the terrible refereeing, how is he not going to admonish Casemiro after such a foul?
Real Madrid have to change his position in the second half if he wants to go through, he really plays as if they have the advantage.
