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

[tokeweed]

It's almost time for the battle of the greats,  we have the team lineups of the night.

Liverpool starting 11: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Diaz, Mane

Real Madrid starting 11: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Benzema

Nothing scary here but Real Madrid is my team for the night ,let's do this.

I even did a bet on Real Madrid, paying 2.35 is good enough to take the risk
I don't think Real will won the match in regular time, but penaltys 

Bold prediction and I like it, Hala Madrid

^  Yup!  It's the big one for all the marbles...  I hear it's gonna be a tad late tho.  Around 15 mins as their still getting the crowd in.  And it looks like a sea of red all over.  Where are the Real Madrid fans at?

And who do you guys got?  Liverpool or Real Madrid?  It's mostly Real Madrid in JollyGood's UCL thread.  Lol.  Just wondering which side the people are in this side of the fence.    I got Liverpool myself at 2.11.  Small bet just to have something for this match.

Yes, there are a huge number of spectators waiting outside the stadium who all want to get in. I've also heard that a lot of spectators have come in who don't have tickets, so that's going to be a hassle. It's never going to fit that way. I know it's been delayed for 15 minutes, but I think the kickoff will be a little later. They don't make it to fifteen minutes, rather think it will be 45 minutes. If they even make it. I wonder how they're going to do that with shoulders that can't sit in their place right now. All Liverpool fans by the way.

I'm very excited now as there is only one hour left to the final match. My favourite team to win the Champions League title are Real Madrid. I'm aware that they are going to have a very difficult match against Liverpool of course. I will be expecting even a more challenging match for them compared to the previous round here. Real Madrid are still unable to solve their defensive problems which make me worried about them. But hopefully they can get ahead of this problem by being more effective in scoring. Benzema deserves a title after his huge effort.

sometimes looking at their lapses may not really determine their fate on the match, but this night i believe the full delivery of Real Madrid over Liverpool, they will both strive for a winning but their pitch performance tonight will be the determining factor for a win, Real Madrid will not hesitate to make a clear and perfect game against Liverpool even though Liverpool has always been on a good stand this season and i cant as well underestimate their performance as well.

[Rruchi man]

Liverpool vs Madrid match is only a matter of minutes now.

We've waited for this game for a long time, finally at the end we will get to see the winner of this season UCL. There is a slight delay to kick off due to the late arrival of fans... There's a lot of person's both in and outside the stadium, the French police will definitely have to do a great job with security and crowd control.  

There will definitely be a lot of pressure on both teams, any of both teams that get the first goal will definitely have an advantage.

[bekti3]

You could be right, but I'm not sure about that. If you look at the betting market, you will realize that Liverpool are very favored in this match and that's what made me believe and bet on Liverpool.

Soon the match will start and we will see the results soon, hopefully Liverpool will win the UCL this time.

When you see a seed for the bookies, that doesn't mean it's a guarantee to win bets easily.
I think it's too naive to believe in something like this when in football.
Indeed, the chances may be bigger but on the other hand we also have to look at something else now, especially when we look at Madrid who were not always seeded from the start they competed here but the fact is that they can get to this stage now.

[Smartvirus]

It's the long awaited moment, all games and drama has led to this very spot and it's really controversial game on whom gets to lift the title.

Liverpool have got a skull to settle with Real Madrid while, K. Benzema and the whole Real Madrid team have worked themselves out so hard to have surfaced in the final with K. Benzema haven't shown his quality wishes to crown it up with the trophy.

Well, its not a easy game to predict but what I'm thinking right know is that, this game doesn't get to see an extra time and Real Madrid would emerg victorious amidst all odds. Sportsbookie have given them the larger odd in this encounter and I think we should bet on that.

The kick-off has been delayed by 15 30 minutes, as UEFA announced. The official reason was "fans arriving late," despite the fact that fans were already there and having difficulty getting in. As far as I can see, the stadium is still not filled, so clearly this is a major oversight on the part of the organizers.

[Slow death]

 

fans are invading the field to watch the champions league final game, sad situation, and to make matters worse the players are on the field and are not playing, even though the game is almost ready to start, it seems to me that there will be a delay in this game. well these are things that happen, I hope that after the game is over we won't see fights in the streets, people need to accept the result without using violence

[coinlocket$]

The kick-off is delayed more, it is not 30 minutes.

Not clear the real reason, the official reason is meh.

Do we have something hidden going on?

Looks like a security issue
People invaded and enter into the field easily, if you saw the images and videos, people have bags with them, and it's very dangerous in a place with thousands of people

I just hear on TNT Sports there's an invasion happening, more people invading into the field, and there's people with tickets trying to enter and they are blocked

Serious thing happening right now

Edit: They have to use pepper gas to stop people

Both Liverpool and Real Madrid players are now inside the pitch juggling football and entertainment the fans. The atmosphere is so ward and the fans are excited.
As opposed to the claim that Thiago Alcantra is injured, he was seen coming out with the players from tunnel.
In few minutes time the match will commence as the 30mins delay will be over.
We are expecting a very nice football tonight. My best man to watch is Vinicius Jr and Liverpool is more supposed to win tonight.

it was further delayed by 30minutes, which means another 15mins was added to the initial one but i don't see the reason for the delay as genuine enough, fans late arrival couldn't have been the only reason for that but i can see the whole numbers of spectators in full waiting for the match kick off, I can't as well wait any longer for this long awaited match to begin, the stadium is filled already and i think the kick off will bring the calmness of the fans into order.

Looks like there's a riot outside the stadium right now.
Some fans seemed to be trying to break into the stadium but this was clearly against the rules and turned into a riot.

How full of fans filled the stadium now and it's of course a bit of a longer wait due to some fans not doing good things outside the stadium

[FanEagle]

Finally the day has come. The fact that we have this still undecided and nobody could say which one is the clear favorite makes it all the more fun. How could you decide on a clear winner on UCL final anyway, it would be impossible.

I hope that we will get to see some good football. It would be lovely if there are many goals, that makes games a lot more fun for me. Like if the game needs 5-4, that would be awesome to watch, I know that there are many people who prefer it the good old fashion way and end 0-0 and go to extra time and even penalties, they like defense, but I am not one of those people, I prefer it when the teams actually score a ton.

It looks like they're not letting the LFC fans into the stadium, no one is quite sure why they're being delayed.  There were reports of people climbing fences trying to get it, but it's unclear if they were impatient fans who'd been delayed or if they were just random people trying to get in.

right, the reason is not clear, some say it's because of fans of both teams and some say it's a technical problem...



the line-up has appeared and I'm not too surprised by the formation of the two (both use the same formation 4-3-3). in 5 minutes the game will start, it's a big day for both fans

[tulusikhlas]

It's a shame when an important game like the Champions League Final has to be postponed for a few minutes. I'm not sure why this happened, but this is the first time I've seen something like this in a Champions League final.
Regardless of all that, I'm glad that finally something that I've been waiting for is now available for a few moments.

[Queentoshi]

Finally the day has come.

Benzema has been on the scoring sheet since their campaign this season and has the advantage of playing on home ground, Salah will be looking to get revenge from not displaying in their last final against Real Madrid. Real Madrid have more experience playing in the final, that can be an advantage for them in this game. I'm watching to enjoy the game, I hope it turns out entertaining.

Both Liverpool and Real Madrid are clubs that loves to score much goals in every match. They are more interested in the opponents goal post more than their own goal post. But this is finals and it is where everyone needs to be very careful because it is not a football of first leg and return leg. Any mistakes here will hand the trophy back to your opponents.
So it will not be surprising to see that this kind of match may still end goaless and extend to extra time

I am the one who expects a lot of goals as we know, Liverpool is not a team that plays in a defensive style they prefer to attack
Based on my monitoring, the betting market leads to Liverpool until the odds continue to fall to 1.9 exactly the same as I expected  
Madrid has won too often the Champions League, it's time to give Liverpool a chance
