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

[Zackgeno96]

Manchester city were humiliated at Santiago Bernebeu. The game was already in favour of City not until Rodrygo came up from the bench in the game, he score twice within the space of two minutes to boost Madrid's hope. Then, lucky enough Benzema was awarded a penalty at extra time, which he eventually scored. The results came as a surprise. However, Real Madrid have sealed their place in the finals at Paris, and will be facing Liverpool.

I was watching the match again and noticed how the stadium (with the score 1-1) began to cheer when the referee announced that 6 minutes had been added. It seems that everyone was sure that Real Madrid could score one more goal, and in the end they did. As for extra time, everyone knew that Real Madrid would win, I'm sure even the City players understood this.

Not a few spectators who had left the stadium then ran to hear the equalizing goal and immediately it was like you said. Madrid fans believe that when they get a moment of added time, it means Madrid will win. It's extraordinary, watching the match like a world final and it was almost felt by us who could only watch it from the television screen. Feeling the immense power that was building within the Real Madrid players was something terrible for Manchester City at that time.

It was very funny how it went in the last minutes. Certainly quite a few supporters have already gone home, with a 0-1 score and arrived in the 90th minute. The disappointment will have been too great and quite a few people can fit in the stadium. Then you don't want to have to wait with public transport. When they got home and turned on the television, they probably just saw the extension. Or back to the stadium to look further.

Can Real Madrid win like they did some years back ? Liverpool can win it all this season anyways.
I love the response of the white angel's, immediately Rodrygo scored the goal.
They have won the league, now they will shift focus to the Champions League finals.

[bekti3]

Even though currently Liverpool are quite superior on paper, but this is not enough just to the extent that Real Madrid is still Real Madrid they are La Liga champions and of course this is not an easy opponent to beat.
I will even be at Madrid's side for now regardless of this act of bravery or recklessness I will stay at Madrid's side for now

The final match between Liverpool and Real madrid is very dicey and unpredictable even now that the match is going to be played at a neutral ground, Real Madrid are dangerous opponent and are not a stranger to Liverpool they had played each other before in a UCL final which was won by Madrid, Iam expecting another tough match between the clubs and the winner can be either of the team, it's going to be a very competitive, entertaining and exciting match synonymous with all  previous UCL match, We hope to watch attacking football to be played by both sides.

I think this prediction is okay to do, but it must be in accordance with the current facts.
A quick match will definitely happen because looking at the statistics and the style of play these two clubs play they will not really like the defensive strategy.
on the other hand these are 2 giant clubs in the 2 biggest leagues in Europe now so there will definitely be prestige and something will be interesting.

It is going to be hell of a match between Real Madrid and Liverpool. I have no doubt about it. And my favourite team to make it to the title are going to be Liverpool for now. But I don't see them as a big favourite of course because Real Madrid have been a very dangerous team for all of their opponents. So Liverpool will have to watch out for big threats like Benzema especially. If they give too much space to Real Madrid in their defense then they might have really big problems. I hope that we see a great match.

Many English fans will argue Liverpool are a far better team than Real Madrid. That's their opinion but on match day they won't be able to deny is how scared they are because Real Madrid have not only pulled 3 Champions League ties in a row out of their arses. They are also in incredible form this season with Karim Benzema on fire.

[DukeNickle]

Now the finale is nearing by every day and I'm very excited about it already now. Real Madrid have been the most attracting team these days I believe because their great achievement against Manchester City is still a topic that many people talk about these days. And we will see if Real Madrid will be able to maintain this great journey against Liverpool in the finale. Liverpool are a huge threat for them and they might not be able to do the same to Liverpool too. So they'd need to be better in that game. I've decided to support Real Madrid for the finale.

[RealMalatesta]

Now Real Madrid is not only about Benzema because in fact Rodrygo became the hero of Real Madrid's revival when they beat Manchester City with 2 goals. Rodrygo was also the player who lifted Real Madrid's spirits as they beat Chelsea in the quarter-final second leg before Benzema sealed the win in extra time.

So, apart from Real Madrid depending on Benzema's performance, so far they have ammunition that is no less important when the team struggles to break the deadlock. Yes it is Rodrygo, this 21-year-old player has made the difference in 2 important matches for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season.

Real have a lot of younger players, many people look at players like benzema, modric, Casemiro, Kroos and so forth and think that Real is "getting older" but the reality is that between Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Valverde, Militao, Camavinga they are actually quite young in many positions.

These players are all under 25 years old and if they play well and show no problems then they can play for 10+ years and they are quite good right now as well. Benzema is the hero of Real Madrid this year for how he has played, but I wouldn't be worried about him getting older, if somehow they really get Mbappe which has been the talks, with the other 5-6 younger players, and Mbappe leading them, I am guessing they will not miss Benzema at all, even though he has been awesome.

It is normal if EPL fans support Liverpool and they should assume Liverpool is better. It is the same as La Liga fans, they must support Real Madrid because it is their mainstay team. However, both Real Madrid and Liverpool are big teams, they also have smart coaches. So, both of them have the same chance to win the UCL trophy. I don't think Real Madrid is stronger because they already won 3 UCL titles in a row, their current squad is different than previously. But yes, they have Benzema as an impressive player right now. Liverpool must be careful with this man.

If Madrid only relies on Benzema then Liverpool players only need to keep Benzema while playing making it difficult to get the ball like what Man city did yesterday
I think the Madrid coach prepared a strategy he couldn't just rely on Benzema because the opponents would have realized it and this is very dangerous

This is the right time for the coaches to use the best strategy which has never been used before to outwit the opponent
Madrid and Liverpool already watching each other predict what strategy to use then find a way to destroy it
We will see an interesting match in the upcoming final experience vs speed is the most suitable title.

well the best strategy must have been prepared by the coaches of both teams. and the outcome of this match will be very hard to predict. considering the greatness of these two teams. but what Liverpool must be aware of is the tenacity and persistence of Real Madrid until the last minute. so liverpool don't give a gap even if it's a little because real madrid always surprises by always being good at taking advantage of opportunities from existing gaps even though it's a small gap.

here's interesting Real Madrid opponents will focus on Benzema they will forget there are other players who easily get the ball and create goals. like the opponent Man City too focused on Benzema and left empty space for Rodrygo until there was a second goal. The final match will definitely be interesting because they both have a very experienced coach in the Champions League.

Benzema will be a concern for Liverpool players, Klopp will tell his men to continue to look after Benzema, it is natural for Klopp because Benzema is always the determinant of Madrid victory. Forgetting other players is also wrong, Madrid is not only Benzema, there are other players who can tear Liverpool goal. Special attention to Benzema, while other players can be escorted in turn. Klopp is a genius coach who is very experienced in facing big clubs, he will definitely do everything he can to avenge his defeat in 2018.

I agree, Benzema is not the only danger for Liverpool in the final.
Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior can also make a lot of trouble for Liverpool.
Camavinga has also been playing fantastic lately and brings a turnaround to Real every time he enters the game.
In fact, the whole Real team is very dangerous because they never give up and have a lot of confidence and experience in big matches.
Liverpool will seek revenge for the lost final from a few years ago, especially Salah, but for them it will be a very challenging and difficult match.

The finals between Liverpool and Real Madrid would be an interesting one as both teams have fought aggressively right from the group stages so I think both teams have earned a spot on the finals vying for the title of being the champions. Although I so desperately wanted to see a Liverpool- Manchester city finals. Disappointed but nevertheless  excited and looking forward to an exciting UEFA Champions league finals

Whichever team competes in the Champions League final, of course, it will always be interesting, no matter which team competes because when that team makes it to the Champions League final, they are a great team which is definitely interesting to look forward to. But apart from that I basically expected PSG v Bayern Munich for the final but unfortunately both of them fell, especially about Bayern Munich being knocked out by an unseeded team.

Yes, it was a little shocking to watch Villarreal boot out Bayern Munich as Bayern seemed to be the stronger of the two. But in football, stranger things have happened. We've seen countless times poorly rated teams have surprised fans and went ahead to win bigger and highly ranked teams. I secretly hoped and wanted Villarreal to win that match with liverpool

Definitely Madrid coach will not only rely on Benzema, not only Benzema makes the team, but having him makes it better. Anything can happen, Benzema is very good which can make anything to happen. The final is going to be tough but I am thinking it is possible Real Madrid to win. I respect Real Madrid a lot and I know the club can go far when it defeated PSG. What I do not like is that people overhyped Liverpool and thinking the club would win Champions League, Premier League and FA cup when there are still chances that Liverpool may not win the three. Tottenham was able to draw with Liverpool yesterday and almost no chance again to win premier league and there are still chances that Real Madrid may win Champions League.

Yes, maybe some people expect Manchester City to challenge Liverpool in the final. But they couldn't make it happen after Real Madrid managed to make an incredible comeback in the semi-final second leg yesterday. But this match is also no less interesting than what some might expect. These two teams will compete to prove who is the best among them.

[Odusko]

The finals are between Real Madrid and Liverpool Even though many fans would have wish the finals were between the two European clubs Manchester City and Liverpool but when Manchester City lost their last match it stopped the qualifications and qualifying real Madrid to face Liverpool and with recent happening the chances of real Madrid taking the trophy is becoming high.

although the opportunity for real Madrid to re-lift the champions league trophy is very open, because real Madrid have never been defeated against liferpol, but this year's final in my opinion is very different, because this year liferpol has an extraordinary squad, the presence of luiz Diaz can increase liferpol's motivation to beat real Madrid this year, this year's final liferpol will break the curse of invincibility from real madrid and will be a revenge mission mohammad wrong and his friends, in the final later i will place a bet for liferpol victory..
