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

[Yogee]

Why Manchester City are so stupid after leading 3-5 on aggregate, and I don't know what to say about their failure last night. I know they have a good mentality to play against Real Madrid, but I think Guardiola made a big mistake by taking some important players before the game ended. I was expecting a good final between Manchester City and Liverpool but in the end Real Madrid completely crushed my hopes with their big win.

Hehe it's a rare sighting to allow two goals in two minutes but to say they are stupid because they gave up their lead is too much.

Substitutions towards the end of the game to put in some fresh legs on the pitch is common among managers. It just didn't work for them this time.

[el kaka22]

One of the most important parts of the game was when the 120th minute was getting close, City still had hard time building up a play, and when I saw the players in Real running like crazy to each ball and pressuring City to fail building a possession I realized why they are so good.

These guys do not get tired that easily, they were running at 120th minute to make something happen even that late, if you are good enough to do something like this then you are going to go to UCL for sure. Obviously they are talented but City was talented as well and I did not see the same fire from City players, they were basically headless chickens by that minute.

What a crazy 2 legs have been.
In the end, the clubs with big budgets often will go till the end of the cup.

About the final, I think Liverpool is stronger but I want to see Cefering giving the Cup to Perez, it will be hilarious and it will generate new memes.

....About the final, I think Liverpool is stronger but I want to see Cefering giving the Cup to Perez, it will be hilarious and it will generate new memes.

I have no update after the Super League fallout but are they still not in good terms? They will probably act professional and be all smiles during the awarding ceremony so they won't spoil the celebration but it would be fun to see what comes after hehe.

If he's still pissed then I won't be surprised if a proxy will handover the trophy.

[Ratash]

An epic performance from real madrid in these elimination rounds they made comebacks against psg, chelsea and man city despite having a bad defense and conceiding many goals a trio was able to get them to the final vinicious, rodrygo and especially benzema but still will they be able to do it on a final which is on my opinion different there is only one game and a mistake could cost them what they achieved so far.

[naira]

Now we have the matchup of the finale in our hands: Real Madrid - Liverpool. This is going to be a great finale hopefully. Their last matchup against each other was another finale as far as I remember in the 2017-18 season finale. And Real Madrid destroyed Liverpool then by 3-1. It might be the time for Liverpool to have their revenge.    They seem to be very decent and strong this season. Real Madrid have also been incredible thanks to Benzema especially. But maybe Liverpool can cause a big disappointment for them this time.

I agree with the title of the final revenge game. The reason is, this impression makes Liverpool burdened with moments that should not be repeated. We also see their condition which is quite different. In the end, Liverpool saw Real Madrid's performance yesterday against Manchester City and will panic a little. Of course, in the minutes of urgency it is necessary to pay attention to how terrible Real Madrid's comeback is.

[baeva]

Incredible match, Real Madrid in their own style. Scoring 2 goals in the final minutes is unthinkable, but they did it! I'm glad we won't have an English final but a clash which has happened before and Liverpool will obviously want to avenge the previous defeat, which was very upsetting. Manchester City played very well but failed to score more than one goal. I think this match is even worthy of a final...

No one can predict with certainty what will happen Madrid got a ticket to the final with a lot of struggle .At least the Champions League this season is better because the two teams are in different countries

Yes, that's what I'm saying. I don't want to see an English final whose teams meet each other twice a year and we've seen them play recently. Benzema saves Real Madrid again with two goals in crazy minutes. During the broadcast there is a window showing the chances of one team or the other making it to the final. Now, Real Madrid's chances were 1%, but they did it.

[TelolettOm]

I think Guardiola made a big mistake by taking some important players before the game ended.

Guardiola may think they already win and get the ticket for the final round. So, he pulls out De Bruyne to prepare him for the final round, avoiding the injury problem. But I agree it is too early to pull out the key player like De Bruyne, the attacking power of Man City dropped drastically after De Bruyne sat on the bench.

I was expecting a good final between Manchester City and Liverpool but in the end Real Madrid completely crushed my hopes with their big win.

I think the ideal final is Liverpool vs Real Madrid. It is not interesting to see two teams from the same league in the final round. We must see a better final because Man City is eliminated in this round.

Some times, a team that struggled to get to the final always get the luck to be the Champions, looking at how Real Madrid struggled through these rounds of elimination, and all of them were from a defeat by the opposition from first leg, starting from PSG, then Chelsea and finally Manchester city. I have hope that Real Madrid will be the Champions again this season to claim their 14th UCL.

[lulumiya]

Such an incredible night! Real Madrid made the impossible happen in the game. It is never easy to make such comebacks when you are mentally weak as you are 1-0 behind. But somehow Real Madrid made it real for themselves and brought themselves back to life. And Rodrygo's incredible job played a big role in this finale ticket for Real Madrid. But both teams were amazing so far so I'm happy to watch this incredible matchup.

It was once again a game worthy of the Champions League! It is these kinds of games that make football spectacular.
With 10 minutes to go, little did they believe that Real Madrid would be able to turn around the result. But, once again, due to a series of errors, atypical, from Man City to Real Madrid, not only managed to equalize the tie, but ended up winning it.

Now in the final, Real Madrid vs Liverpool, I think Real Madrid have a better chance of winning the game.

Yeah, we have this final game in the Champions League now and I'm looking forward to watching it already. Real Madrid defeated them once before in another final game and it would help Real Madrid have a predominance against Liverpool in the first place. But we will see if it will help. They know each other very well so we might watch an incredible game between them. And I'm happy for not watching a final game between English teams as it would have been boring.

But that's okay, maybe it's time to get revenge for Real Madrid, who beat Liverpool in the final a few seasons ago. We believe Liverpool can, really looking forward to the match. I hope without Ramos Real Madrid are weaker in this final especially in their defence.

Manchester city made a very big mistake for not doing things in the rightful . The truth is that apart from the mistakes been made by Manchester city,  Real Madrid were very ready to defeat Manchester city. But I won't put much blames on them, they will learn from their failure and mistakes on how they allowed Real Madrid to win them.

[Rengga Jati]

Thank God, this really happen  
....

i am also very happy with this madrid win, i put some bucks on madrid, at first i doubt madrid can win but it was a great epic comeback.  madrid vs liverpool in the final is will be a very crazy match, and i'm curious what big surprises will happen in the final.

Yes, but the journey doesn't stop here.
This is one step closer to the championship.
Moreover, Liverpool is not a small team, this is a big team including many professional and experienced players. We also see that Liverpool seems like having their main reason to defeat Real Madrid after a bad experience at the past. That is why Liverpool will play very optimally to get the trophy. I am sure enough that the final match will be absolutely exciting. Whoever the winner, they are the best team.

Guardiola may think they already win and get the ticket for the final round. So, he pulls out De Bruyne to prepare him for the final round, avoiding the injury problem. But I agree it is too early to pull out the key player like De Bruyne, the attacking power of Man City dropped drastically after De Bruyne sat on the bench.

Their confidence by taking out the main players even in the last minutes probably became the most regretful thing that was done. They should know that Real Madrid often makes a big surprise at the last minute, they can come back very epic even in the last minutes. This may be different with other clubs that are probably losing their motivation because of left some goals and aggregate,moreover when in the last minutes. But this is different for Real Madrid. they are likely ready enough and have been usual with the last miutes comeback.

I agree Man City should learn from the mistakes they made that led to them being eliminated. But I don't want to blame Guardiola for the failure of
Man City, which they should have qualified for the final if they didn't lose concentration in the final minutes of the match. After all, it is difficult to face
an experienced team like Real Madrid, even before getting rid of Man City, Real Madrid have managed to get rid of PSG and Chelsea before.
So it's a little understandable if Man City was finally knocked out by Real Madrid. I believe Guardiola learned a lot from Man City's failure to qualify
for the final, I hope Man City next season can show a better performance. Hopefully at the end of this season Man City can bring in a few more players
to strengthen their squad, especially Man City must buy a striker, that's what Man City lacked this season.

Agree, Man City doesn't realize that Real Madrid is a special team. Real Madrid has big luck in UCL, they also have a good mentality, and they are a typical club that never gives up until the match ends. Guardiola never learned from many teams that had ever been defeated by Real Madrid before, many of them are defeated in injury time/extra time. He must get a big lesson from the wrong decision to take the main players. I guess Guardiolla will regret it so much.

No one is to blame. Because the quality of each has shown that Real Madrid can give their best, as well as Manchester City. But maybe because Manchester City didn't realize the comeback from Real Madrid, this omission was finally put to full use. Losing in the Champions League certainly made the Manchester City players a little shaken in their motivation. So inevitably they will return to the Premier League and bury their dream of being able to win the Champions League this season.

I was also a little surprised when Guardiola started removing the main players at the end of the match and thought it might end badly. On the other hand, one can also understand his logic that the two-goal advantage turned out to be quite strong and Guardiola just wanted to strengthen his squad with fresh players with new strength, because the previous players were already tired, but as it turned out later it was a fatal mistake. By the way, it was a creative player of such a level as de Bruyne, who was replaced, that Manchester City was sorely lacking in extra halves, when the team needed to recoup urgently, but there were big problems with creativity in attacking actions.

It is not very surprising because the match is almost over. It is normal if the coach pulls out their main player to keep the player in a good condition for the next match. The goal made by Rodrygo was in minute 90, no one guessed it will happen. It is a miracle that Rodrygo made 2 goals in 2 minutes, it is pure luck. Although the luck won't happen without hard work from all players.

I saw he just substitution the player for the right position, He did not change the formation, maybe because several players were not so solid for each other that make mistaken on back. In another situation, Real Madrid especially Benzema really doesn't want to just give away the victory until the last minutes, from trying to take flying the ball and giving assist to Rodrigo, Benzema is one important player to the winning.

yeah...real madrid really won very dramatically. The inadvertence of manchester city feeling safe can be exploited carefully by real madrid. but it's no longer surprising for real madrid who always show surprises in the 2nd leg. But the match against manchester city was a completely unexpected surprise.

Luck can not be separated from the results of their hard work, Real Madrid players really have a strong enough mentality, they did not give up until the last minute, so that hard work really answered completely.

In contrast to Manchester City, the mentality of these players is really bad, none of them are able to play relaxed in the conditions of the Aggregate victory, until the disaster arrived at the last minute of the second half, after that the Manchester City players lost their way in playing, the quality of the players was right -was really put to the test at the time and Real Madrid deserved this win.
