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

[xxjumperxx]

Bayern and PSG have to be considered as strong favorites for the final. However, we have seen many surprises so far - especially since there's only 1 game being played.

I'd say Bayern is a favorite for the title, they look way better than remaining teams. PSG has a really strong offensive lineup but Bayern is better overall.

I think Bayern made themselves huge favorites after that Barca Game...
They are clicking on all cylinders right now...
That offense had fun on the field, but yeah Surprises can happen just look at Lyon

Mbappe to return in the next game vs Leipzig but until now it isn't sure if he will play the whole game or just a part of it.
Additionally, PSG will miss its goalkeeper Keylor Navas who was injured vs Atalanta in the last match. Those details can have an impact on the final results

Bayern made themselves the favorites for the title.
The reason for that is that they had amazing performance but this was just in the knock out game.
I believe that PSG is going to be the winners of UCL in the end.

Bayern has more experience in Champions League and their squad are more connected on pitch than PSG's squad. PSG tends to rely too much on personal fabulous moments that are never good for them. The match with Atalanta is an example. They would have lost the match if Neymar did not have some excellent moment at the end of the match.

I vote for Bayern this title.

Bayern are a better unit for sure but when you have Mbappe, Neymar etc you can win any game. I’m going to cheer Bayern on it they reach the final. PSG are still a bit like Man City, artificially pumped with money by oil money, it’s not something I like.

Yes, from the quality , Bayern will be the UCL champion. However, the quality and mentality of the Bayern players will improve after winning the match against Barcelona. On paper, Bayern is the first  for the UCL champion candidate to be followed by PSG. I agree with the previous comment that said PSG vs Bayern is the match that will be the favorite match in the UCL final

Of course the match will be very much awaited by many of my fans. I think the quality of Bayern Munich will continue until the match in the UCL final.
This match will be more exciting seeing the two of them play with full ambition to achieve victory but on the other hand I support Bayern Munich as UCL champions this season because their performance is more optimal than with PSG.

That is very true, I see Bayern winning this League without a problem, however, I might disagree on the final, I think it's gonna be Bayern vs Leipzig. I haven't seen PSG playing their best game lately, they sure make plays but they can't score. But whatever teams faces Bayern in the final is for sure in for a really though game that the German team is gonna end up winning.

Bayern Munich is one of the best team who usually put pressure on their opponent through attacking football skills. Like German national team Bayern is famous for their faster counter attacking movement and most of the time they surprised other teams through this skill. Worldwide football fans have already seen their power football on last match with Barcelona. Although Barcelona tried to get back on the game but i don't think their central defenders were enough ready to face Bayern's counter attacks. All i can say that barca usually depends on their mid fielders where bayern's strategy is quite different.   

I think PSG have already started to make their game plan after seeing Barcelona's defeat but i don't think its gonna  be easy for to handle the total unit of "Bayern Munich". Although its football and anything can happen.

Yes they are favourites to reach the final but neither of them are there yet. The semi finals won’t be easy for them, Leipzig & Lyon aren’t just going to roll over & allow easy games. Who knows what could happen, this is football.

If there is any gambler who is brave enough to stake a huge bet amount on Lyon, they would have made a small fortune as the odds payout on Lyon to win the match against Manchester City in full time is @12.00, Bayern Munich is one of the best team in Europe, and I truly wonder if Lyon would be able to give Bayern Munich a tough fight in the semi finals when they play against each other.

[babo]

so you are opting for a German final match between Bayern and Leipzig (would not be a first German final, and previous with Borussia, Bayern has won)

for me, PSG should do the job in semi-final, Leipzig does not have much chance to reach final, and Lyon could put some stones in Bavarian wheels, but it will be hard to pass through, although not impossible, i could even seen Cherki as one of new wave top football players, for the next decade, maybe he can prove that earlier, on Wednesday for example

It could be interesting.. honestly I'd rather win Leipzig, because I love small teams, they put their heart into it. Large teams are often filled with only soulless mercenaries.
When the small team of Ranieri won the premier league i was very happy! A modern tale that manages to make all fans dream!

yeah, but it is hard to see Leipzig or Lyon in the final, although not impossible
nevertheless, i will bet on goals tonight, because expect to see a lot of them and o2.5 is first, o4.5 second bet

I think Lyon has no chance to get into the final, only if Bayern has a really bad day. Lyon did not really played very well against ManCity, they had three chances and made three goals. While I think Leipzig vs Paris is not that clear as it looks. Leipzig has a really good team, no stars but a well-functioning and tactically well-positioned team. There are still some players in the team who played together when Leipzig was still in the 3rd league. And now they play together in the Champions League semi-final against the star-samble of PSG

I got an error in my brain when I try to process this eventuality "Lyon winning vs Bayern"

Yes that game is definitely hard to predict with Neymar and Mbappe it is gonna be a little harder for Leipzig but with PSG missing their main goalkeeper then a part of the game will depend from his substitute. Fingers crossed!

[tomahawk9]

in case someone is looking for the best odds today (in Full Time result), from what i could gather, Betcoin.ag are offering the lowest margins for Leipzig - PSG, however, Sportsbet with the 'price boost' feature blows everyone (FJ, betcoin, stake and cloudbet) out of the water

anyhow, i'm having troubles trying to pick a winner today. Leipzig are good, but Neymar and fully fit Mbappe on a good guy will destroy any opposition, although, PSG are well-known bottlers  🤔 i think Over 3 goals @1.85 is decent, might go with this or BTTS

[dwminer1]

I hope for a surprise today and I bet on the advance of RB Leipzig. Of course, the favorite is PSG and it will be a disaster if they don't reach at least the final this season. So far, they have faced weaker rivals, and their victories were not convincing. They were very lucky in the match against Atalanta. RB Leipzig also secured an advance against Atletico in the last minutes. They are a very young team and no one requires them to win trophies yet. This lack of pressure can be their asset. Unlike PSG, which have a lot of responsibility. I hope for the German final, so today I keep my fingers crossed for RB Leipzig.

You can get 12/1 for Lyon to beat Bayern & 4/1 for Leipzig to beat PSG. A Leipzig & Lyon double is around 43/1.

It’s not really clear to me why everyone underestimates Lyon so much.
Didn’t they beat both Juve and Manchester City?
There can be luck once but not twice.
Don’t be naive and write off Lyon again as if they have strayed into the semi-finals and have no chance.
It's a physically powerful team, with quality players and a coach and they have their chance against Bayern as well.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’d bet big money on them but they definitely have a chance.

Without luck Lyon would have not won Juve and Manchester City. In two matches, Juve and Manchester City played better and dominated the games. Lyon can win the semi-final or final matches, we don't know. Greece (Euro 2004), Porto (Champions League), Portugal in Euro 2016 did it so Lyon can. But to say they win because they are strong or one of strongest, it is not true.
