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

[Soonandwaite]

Diego Simeone and Julian Nagelsmann   two coaches will give everything again.   the duel is better than the match itself
I am especially looking forward to this game. I hope the spanish players do not shoot the first goal

but bayern will enter the final and win

would call for semi-finals as following:
- Real - Bayern
- Atletico - PSG

and for the final - Bayern - Atletico, and Bavarians as new Champions league winners

This is my prediction:
- City - Bayern (City is rocking right now while Real Madrid playing good but not better than City after restart)
- Atletico - Atalanta (Atalanta vs inactive PSG? It may have a chance)
Champ: Bayern

Real need to beat City by 2 goals to advance, I think they are out. I have a good feeling for Bayern this season, I’m not sure why. I think they have the best balance throughout the team, a good defence, midfield & attack. Some of the other teams have great attacks but lack in other areas.

@DeathAngel in my personal opinion Real Madrid can yet advance and win the champions league, as they have completely transformed themselves post the covid break, and if they continue playing like how they’re playing in La Liga then they should definitely win this fixture. Further Zidane job hangs in the balance as he needs to win both La Liga and the champions league to save his job, and therefore I believe that Real Madrid player’s will be motivated to win this fixture and help him save his job.

I think that Real still have chance against Manchester City. 
In one match between 2 top world clubs everything is possible.
Manchester City didn't have good season and they can loose  much more in this match (last chance for title since I expect that Real will become champion in Spain ).
German league finished first in Europe so Bayern will have good opportunity to rest their players for CL final and it's good advantage for them.

The Champions League quarter finals, semis and final draw is over:

Quarter finals

1) Man City/Real Madrid - Juventus/Lyon

2) Atletico Madrid - RB Leipzig

3) Napoli/Barcelona - Chelsea/Bayern Munich

4) Atalanta - PSG

Semis

1) WinnerQuarterFinal1 vs WinnerQuarterFinal3

2) WinnerQuarterFinal2 vs WinnerQuarterFinal4

alright people, make your predictions 

I don't think Real Madrid can make it against Mancity because of their good start after this pandemic period. Real is at good position but their effort would be extremely low to overthrow City after a 0:2 won match at Real home ground.
In my view, Bayern Munich side deserve the UEFA Champions as they have a very good and experience players and are pretty playing well.

[davinchi]

I say City beats Madrid, Juventus beats lyon, so its city versus juventus. Athletico beats Leipzig, Barcelona beats Napoli, Bayern beats Chelsea, psg beats Atalanta. So, city versus juventus is hard, I would say City just because they have a possibility of not going to Europe so they might want to put everything on the field a bit more extra this time around and Madrid looks like La Liga champions so they might lack the motivation.

Barcelona versus Bayern looks a bit more Bayern to me, Barcelona normally plays very well but after the break they have lost a lot of points. So, it would be city versus Bayern, and atletico versus psg. I would say city takes Bayern and psg takes atletico as well. So it would be city versus psg finals and I feel like city could go all the way this year for sake of not going there again for a while.

[Coyster]

alright people, make your predictions  

Manchester City vs Juve in the semis. I think city will go through instead of Real, only because of the two away goals advantage, a lot has happened since city won Madrid back in February, Madrid have been unbeaten since the restart, while City have lost twice already, if City didn't have the advantage they do, i think Madrid would win....Juve will go through as well imo.

Bayern are already through , Barcelona are not in their best form, but they'll get past Lyon, Madrid should be Laliga Champions before this game, so their attention will be all about the UCL, Bayern vs Barca will be the match to watch in the quarters.

Atalanta and Athletico will complete the teams in the semi final; so here goes my prediction

[tomahawk9]

The knockout stage draw was a few hours ago but we already have the 1X2 odds for the two confirmed quater finals:


odds from Fortunejack

One month to go until games kick off, so odds will change, but first impressions: no surprises here, although watch out for Atalanta odds, they've been hella solid in the Serie A this season, and with a PSG known for choking in the big stages, Atalanta ML odds might look like free money to some people

Real need to beat City by 2 goals to advance

High chance that Real will be out since City is having outstanding performance; the requirements of 2 goal is there in addition. Most likely Man City and Bayern Munich will make the final. Well, PSG may have a chance too. I see no chance for Madrid and Barca.

[LTU_btc]

I think that Atalanta may be happy that they got PSG. Offcourse, PSG is much stronger on paper, but they didn't had official games since March. It's difficult to expect that they will be in best condition. While Atalanta is playing amazing football, they didn't dropped single point after restart. If they will continue to play like now, I think they have good chances.
Potential quarterfinal Barca - Bayern. Well, first we have to kick out Napoli and it will be tough. Don't even talk about Bayern - they are playing probably best football in Europe right now. I'm sceptical about our chances against them.
Atletico - Leipzig looks too difficult to predict, while Juventus is favorites, especially because Lyon in same boat as PSG now.
I'm not going to talk about potential semifinals, too early. And don't forget there will be just one game, so chances for upsets is bigger.

I don't know about Juventus but recently I can say that they aren't the best form lately. Just about last 3 days ago they conceded 4 goals to AC Milan where they could have easily won, they haven't been that careless in a long time now and also during the first leg of their Round 16 they failed to convert even a single goal even if they have the ball most of the time. Juventus basically might be in trouble of having an early exit in the CL if they keep this kind of phase going.

In the current situation in which the football clubs find themselves, it is difficult to give a tipp. I don't know how the teams are coping with it except from the germans. But I think Bayern Munich has the best chances for the title.

In one match everything is possible.
If you have 2 matches and play bad in first match,  there is always another chance in second match.
Liverpool and Roma against Barcelona and Barcelona against PSG are the best examples 
Right now,  in fact,  all remaining clubs in CL have chance to win title but I think that Bayern and Manchester City  are the best candidates for title.
Any way,  it will be very interesting to watch.

[Daniel91]

Based on statistics and their data and algorithms on the fivethirtyeight.com estimate the chances of the remaining clubs in the competition to win the European Champions League.
Are you interested?
According to them, the new European champion will become Manchester City for the first time, giving as many as 30% of the chances.
The complete list of chances for all clubs is below.

1. Manchester City 30%
2. Bayern 22%
3. PSG 14%
4. Barcelona 8%
5. RB Leipzig 8%
6. Atletico Madrid 7%
7. Atalanta 5%
8. Real Madrid 2%
9. Juventus 2%
10. Lyon, Napoli, Chelsea less than 1%

I hope this helps you with your betting. 
What do you think?

Yes. I also believe that bayern munich is a big favorite , but why is real madrid so far down on this bookie  real madrid was the last games very strong and are first in the primera division. even now before barcelona . I think many people underestimate this team.

They don't give much chance to Real since they are playing first game against City, arguably the strongest team left in the draw. Furthermore, Real lost first leg at home against City 2:1 which puts them at solid disadvantage before the reverse fixture. Add to that the fact that Ramos managed to get red card in that game so he will not play and he is by far the best Real player at the moment. Percentages look about right to me.

Judging from city's currently hunger for goals and wins, I won't be surprised if they end up lifting the championship league trophy this season. That has been Pep's biggest challenge so far and considering their possible ban from completing next season when their appeal get decline. I think it's just fair if they win considering how impressive they have been so far.

What If, just what if the team with the least odd goes on to lift the trophy. Bayern shouldn't even get their hopes up, Chelsea will complete a comeback (yes I just said that) and end their hopes 😉.

But especially the away games make it different in the current situation. What rules on hygiene apply in the country? Is there a lockdown right now and the hotel staff is more tense than usual? These are all factors that are unpredictable for example.

I believe that all the rules will be very strict because it is very important for UEFA to finish all competitions this year for financial and other reasons.
Since there will be no spectators, there will still be a limited number of people who are easier to control.
I don’t believe there will be any major problem and I am sure all the competitions will end as planned.
Portugal and Germany, which have been selected as host countries, have a relatively stable and good situation with the coronavirus.
What will be most missed are the fans and without them everything will still look a bit artificial and unnatural.
But for UEFA, the possibility of giving up or postponing has never been an option that they have seriously considered and of course too much money is at stake.
Fans are important but money is more important
