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

[tranthidung]

At this time I would not let myself be carried away by the statistics, for me I think the winner will be Real Madrid, although Liverpool is literally flying, I think Real Madrid has a lot of experience in finals and above all they have a great technical director, in addition that Benzema can shine even more. Of course, not everything is written, Liverpool may give a surprise, in the PL they are having a very good season, both they and City are at the top.

You can not say no with statistics in sports. People in personal, face to face competition or tournament will be supported by their past win history against their opponents or be obsessed with their past defeats.

As a team, they will have tradition of the club, support of fans and some other things which will give them believe in themselves, strength to play better than what they can do. What Real Madrid have shown in Champions League this season is a very classic example on how a big and traditional winning club can achieve in their favorite league or tournament.

I see opponents of Real Madrid have some vague fear when they have to play against Madrid especially in Bernabeu. Moreover, if they have to hunt for Real Madrid, they turn to be very fearful.

Absolutely right you're that Liverpool will try to win the champions league title in this season because it is so tough for them to win EPL title. Both teams on champions league final are strong enough to beat their opponent. But in my opinion, Liverpool is favorite compare to Real Madrid.

Madrid also want to be the winner of this match so not only Liverpool because Madrid too had ambition to get 14th trophy and i think this a battle between the teams that have a winning mentality and whoever has a better mental will became the champion of this season but if we talking about the favourite indeed it belongs to Liverpool because most of bookmakers currently placed Liverpool odds lower than Madrid but it cannot be used as a reference because it all still depend on the performance for both of teams while playing

The two teams that competed in the final were the best teams in my opinion, even though they both have many different squad depths but both are the same team with the same strong mentality to win, in terms of game maybe Liverpool are a little better especially from defense and attack but Madrid also not much different in terms of sharpness in scoring goals, I think maybe defense has been the only weakness that madrid has so far, the comparison of conceding goals is a fairly visible difference between madrid and liverpool, I personally would also say that the final match will be difficult to predict and that's why I made a draw in normal time a bet.

Real Madrid rely on Karim Benzema in midfield, while Liverpool rely more on the sharpness of Mohamed Salah, the material for both clubs is almost the same, but Real Madrid has a much stronger winning mentality than Liverpool, it is difficult to predict who will win, but if you look at the spirit and mentality the players, Real Madrid have a bigger chance, anything can happen in this season's Champions League final, but speaking of the last meeting, Real Madrid have won many times against Liverpool

Statistics and past history will probably always be important for a team and I think that will be one of the factors that support the motivation of the players to keep their good history up to now. Of course everything is still possible to change as football develops, but I think Real Madrid is still good enough to maintain its statistics and history in the Champions League.

I think most people in the Champions League final would probably agree to see Liverpool lift the trophy in the end, but I don't want them to underestimate Real Madrid who certainly have a great history in their finals.

Stats def help but in a one game knock out for the win, it won't always give an accurate prediction.  Even in a tournament format..  Remember Man City was projected to be the favorite to win the UCL by the bookies.  Those guys don't fool around and they have the sharpest guys running stats with a decent sample size that could give them the most accurate picture of what's about to happen. But then again there's always that margin for error.  So I'd pick Liverpool to win but seeing Ancelotti out fox Pep at the second leg of the semis, I wouldn't be surprised if he out foxes Klopp too.

at least in this case experience is also influential. Liverpool are a very good team but to play in the final last time they had to make a fatal mistake there due to the lack of mentality of the players on the other hand it's true statistics are also very closely related but indeed all the factors mentioned are just additives to make this more exciting because in the end everything will still be done with their hard work for 90 minutes

[borovichok]

The champions final match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool will be a fantastic match in football, this match will be very difficult to predict who will win. because considering Real Madrid and Liverpool are in their best form. I myself hope that Real Madrid will win and Benzema can score a goal in the final match, so that the race for the Ballon d'Or 2022 goes to Benzema this year.

I am a fan of both teams, but if we look at their achievements this season, I would prefer Liverpool who will win the UCL final. As we know that Real Madrid have secured their La Liga title, while in the EPL, it has been very difficult for Liverpool to become champions. So they will be more focused on at least winning the UCL title this season.

For me I think I would support Real Madrid because it's going to give Karim benzema an added advantage if he won the champions League final for he to win the balloon d'Or but no doubt is going to be an interesting champions League final because team are in form, Manchester City deserve winning the premier League that's why they are first and Liverpool are second so I think if Liverpool win the fa cup then is s good season because now they have won two cups the fa cup and Carabao cup so the season is still a succes even if they didn't win the champions League.

Of course, both teams will decide their fate in 90 minutes and maybe both can reach extra time if within 90 minutes the match ends in a draw. When both teams have chances then I don't think I should underestimate either of them especially because it's a final.

Although Liverpool are currently the favorites to win the Champions League title, Real Madrid is a team that is likely to disappoint their fans. I'm not a Real Madrid fan, but I think it's appropriate to support them bringing the title back to Spain this season.

[tarable]

If we follow the development of the two teams, it will help us to know more or less which players can play or not accumulate yellow cards in the final, making it easier for us to analyze who will win even though anything can happen when the match takes place on the field. In general, I analyze if the Reds will be champions or winners in the final.

However, Madrid currently has the most Champions League trophies. we can't deny it, even with a different squad but Madrid has a winning mentality from any club.
but I support Liverpool to stop Madrid's momentum to marry the La Liga trophy and the Champions League. Liverpool has a chance to win. Salah and Mane can be more dangerous than Benzema.

The acquisition of the most Real Madrid trophies among other clubs in the history of the UEFA Champions League must be recognized. In terms of mentality, Liverpool is also no less great than Real Madrid. For me it is not Sadio Mane or Salah that is dangerous in the Liverpool squad, but Thiago and Luis Diaz who will make it difficult for Real Madrid to stop them.

it will be a little good for Benzema if he can win the Champions League this season because his achievements will increase even more now because he can marry the La Liga trophy and the top scorer there and the Champions Trophy with the top scorer too.
I actually expected a lot with Madrid in this match but Liverpool are not an opponent to be taken lightly especially with their current squad which is very good in attack, midfield and defense.

[KTChampions]

First, here are more accurate quotes (same source):

Liverpool 1.55

Real Madrid 2.40

These are quotes on which team will become the champion, and not on the result of regular time.
Secondly, I must say that these are the same wacky quotes as for the confrontation between City and Real. I can agree that Liverpool is the favourite, but with such a huge lead? Nonsense, Real is underestimated and you can safely bet on it.

Beside as Real Madrid fans I will choose and keep favorite for the winning on final match, that true what do you said happening on semi final match where Manchester City most favorite and Real Madrid get bigger odd but what happen, unbelievable Real Madrid success broken all predicting and favorite with Manchester City get losing from Real Madrid. Some time they not give accurate predicting although with bigger odd not mean Real Madrid is not favorite to be the winner on UEFA Champion League final, actually Madrid as good mentality team on champion league than Liverpool.

It is clear that the quotes of the teams do not always correspond to the final result. I'm saying that these quotes are inadequate. These quotes are as if Liverpool were leading 1-0 in the first half, but the game hasn't even started yet 
As for the mentality, I would not say that Real and Liverpool are very different - they are two cup fighters who are used to fighting in knockout games.

Liverpool problem is if the game is tied or if they are leading by one or two goals with 10 minutes left. Because Real Madrid this season is rocking these last minutes of the Champions League games. 

Honestly I think that Real Madrid will win, although I also think that Liverpool have a better team.

[Iranus]

Honestly I think that Real Madrid will win, although I also think that Liverpool have a better team.

Liverpool's team is strong and stable. Their performance is quite good. On the other hand, the squad at Real Madrid is strong at the same time they are very lucky. Real Madrid unexpectedly won against PSG and Manchester City. Their performance was good. But the last-minute goals surprised everyone. So I think Liverpool's team is strong but Real Madrid will win the title.

[SatoPrincess]

I still stand for Real Madrid to win Liverpool to achieve UEFA champion league title. I think what happened between Real Madrid and Manchester city is about to happen to Liverpool because it hard me to loose my prediction in this tournament. Real Madrid will win Liverpool 1:0 to inform other teams that they are destined to win this season title in a surprise way.

Basically no human being can see a destiny for others and also for himself in any case. And the prediction you say can still be wrong because the match hasn't started yet so there are still many different things that can happen in the match later, despite the fact that Real Madrid continued to win with a very surprising struggle before getting into the Champions League final.

Also, in my view Madrid's defense is not as perfect as imagined, so it is very unlikely that the final score will be only 1-0. If you also consider the previous results when playing against Manchester City, the fact is Real Madrid always conceded first so in this case the Real Madrid defense can still be conceded by Liverpool too. Anyway, your prediction if you only talk about destiny is basically not the right thing without considering other factors as well.

That's right, Madrid main problem is in defence I see they always concede in Champions League games Liverpool can take advantage of Madrid Weak defense
We also know Liverpool players are very aggressive in scoring goals if Madrid can't anticipate it then they can miss this moment.

In Madrid, the defense is weak, which leads to goals raining down, so if Liverpool starts scoring then Madrid will lose. The injury to Fabinho last night may have been costly for Jurgen Klopp. Keita may have been a better option for Klopp. Fabinho's level is higher than Keita's. Sometimes Fabinho makes silly mistakes, but he is crucial. If Fabinho were to disappear, Real Madrid may win the Champions League yet again!

It's quite a surprise to me that Real Madrid lost Ramos and Varane in the same window trusting an inexperienced Militao to lead their defense but so far they have done well. We all know Liverpool can attack but Matip and Virgil can’t handle Real Madrid depth. Liverpool will be relying on Salah and Sadio Mane to cause Madrid problems but they should be worried about Benzema who has been the most outstanding player in Europe this year.

I think many Manchester City fans are behind Pep Guardiola no matter if they win the UEFA Champion's League or not. Pep is the only manager that is criticised for not winning the champion's league. Sir Alex Ferguson won 2 in 30 years, many didn't talk about him getting sacked. Well, these points are understandable accurate but Fergie didn't spent over half a billion pounds to recruit players.

[SatoPrincess]

The champions final match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool will be a fantastic match in football, this match will be very difficult to predict who will win. because considering Real Madrid and Liverpool are in their best form. I myself hope that Real Madrid will win and Benzema can score a goal in the final match, so that the race for the Ballon d'Or 2022 goes to Benzema this year.

I believe Benzema will score a goal against Liverpool, but we don't know which team will win. Even Real Madrid lose, I still think Benzema is really deserve to get Ballon d'Or in this year since he's in his prime conditions. If Benzema didn't get Ballon d'Or then it should be Lewandowski, IMO he have a better performance than Salah. Liverpool have above-average players, but Real Madrid have the best player among other clubs.

If Benzema can score in the final and Real Madrid can win the title, then Benzema will be a worthy contender for the Ballon d'Or, and I believe he will get the Ballon d'Or. He has played exceptionally well throughout the season. Real Madrid have won the Champions League only because of his performance. If Benzema doesn't get Ballon d'Or then I think Salah will get Ballon d'Or.

Karim Benzema is in the form of his life and he is likely to score a goal or two in the final against Liverpool. Liverpool are still a very strong opponent and it won’t be easy game. I actually think with Karim Benzema, Real Madrid already has the advantage over Liverpool..

So I think Liverpool's team is strong but Real Madrid will win the title.

Actually not as easy as this predicts the final match both teams have succeeded through a long process until it was determined to be the 2 best teams
Here the strength of the two teams is undoubtedly each of them have their own advantages only luck can choose who is the best
I already have a favorite but not sure to place a bet on Win/Lose I will consider both teams to score.

Well, at the end of your post you also said the reason Sir Fagie cannot be compared to Guardiola. Guardiola has arguably the best squad and bench in football while Sir was using average players most times to perform wonders. Apart from the depth of players, Guardiola is known for making big mistakes at big stages. Last year champions league he lost it to Chelsea because he benched his top 9 and played formation that Tuchel and everyone knows. Formation that was faulted twice before finals, with a defensive midfielder.
Last week against RM, he could not defend a match he was wining and substituted Kelvin Debruyne in the match.

When that substitution was made I know within me that he was about to repeat the same mistake he made in the last season's championship, how can a coach make such a change at that critical time when you need all the good hands to defend your goal till the end of the match. Manchester City lost out on the champion league because of the substitution and the coach is to be blamed real Madrid just took advantage of the mistake too. make a bounce back.

Real Madrid has Benzema Keys and Liverpool Moh Salah. This will be the main flashlight for each team and keep their star players in excellent condition.
Liverpool is an elite team that has a fairly extraordinary strategy, but Real Madrid has a level of ingenuity in controlling the situation on the ground. Madrid and Liverpool teams with the same benefits, the quality of the current game for both teams is no doubt. We still have time to really make up the bet when the time has arrived.

In this case, I don't think it's appropriate to compare something that doesn't need to be compared.
but for Pep I still feel he deserves to be at City because regardless of what he can't force his will when the team he coaches loses mentally in the Champions League then there is no need to blame.
His performances at City have been outstanding and he still deserves to be, besides if he does end up leaving at least for now it's quite difficult to find a new coach to suit the players.
