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

[Coyster]

I don’t think Real madrid will win anything this season. I'm a fan of real madrid, but I really doubt that real madrid will be able to be champion of something

Too early to say that imo, there's the UCL, laliga and Copa del Rey up for grabs and if you ask me Real Madrid should be able to get one of them, is it even possible to write them off from getting more than one? It's a bad start for Real in all competitions, but we've seen this happen in the past, and they still end up having a good season. I trust Zidane to get things right again. There's no favorites for now in the UCL, except prolly Bayern, but Madrid is always a team with the possibility of winning that trophy, as they've done on numerous occasions, more than any other team actually.

*Bayern proved they are still a "wild team" & Luis Suarez still hasn't made a big contribution to the ATM.

Bayern were simply the better team, the loss had nothing to do with Luiz Suarez or his impact in athletico, imo, he actually hasn't been bad since signing for them.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now been tested positive for the corona virus for a second time. the duel against messi will probably not take place. it is a pity.
i was really looking forward to this game and now ronaldo is not there .  he will certainly have to rest for at least another 7 days

Cristiano Ronaldo tests positive for COVID 19 again and will miss the game vs Barcelona next week. 🙃
So CR7  going to miss 2nd consecutive  ucl match this season.

surely C Ronaldo will not be able to participate in the match against Barca on 29/10...
but the [La] Vecchia Signora will definitely put a lot of pressure on Barca at home. this is one of the matches I have been waiting for the most.

[Blackpussy]

I have to shake my head at all of these thoughts. City wins many cups and sweeps the league, one season later people are saying they are shit,,, Barca win Champions League and next season fail people say they are shit. Real won the league last season and now people say they are shit. Liverpool won last season and now they are shit.

Spurs, my own team. Reach finals one season and next we get Poch fired. The world is crazy.

Lol, he mentioned spurs your team is the shittest of all, I've never seen a shitty team since i was born i never see them lift a trophy in my 24 years of existence, tottenham are the worst in London all they do is pernick all season and go home trophyless, got to the first UEFA final only to lose to another shitty team.

sacking Poch a manager who was on a mission of getting spurs to greater height to hire an old version of mourinho to perform magic is still one of the worst decision in football history.

CAN NEVER BE THE PRIDE OF LONDON
LONDON IS BLUE

As said above in your post, a few posts before you this can be not true.
This is probable but not definitive, depending on the protocol if they need 2 tests or they can have only 1 test plus the clinical cartel for the 1st "missing test" when asymptomatic. We will know more tomorrow.

[RealMalatesta]

What happened to real Madrid? Are they missing out any players? I checked the formation from google and it looked perfect, maybe google was wrong about the formation or something? They should be winning the game very easily, shaktar is not even close to Madrid's level neither in talent nor in money neither so it is a big shock that Madrid would lose this easily.

City and Liverpool games were expected, I would have expected more goals from Liverpool too, but Ajax is not a bad team, they usually play with youngsters but these are youngsters who learn the system for the past 10 years and not just some players got together by way of transfers so they are decent. Maybe Inter could have won, gladbach is not a bad team neither but inter is top 3 team of Italy whereas gladbach is probably top 6-7 in Germany but gladbach seems to have a good team this year.

I think it qas was almost confirmed few days ago that Cristiano will miss the match against Barcelona.

It is true, I've read this news on some sports sites several days ago. It became trending topics already, so it was easy to find out the news. Of course, he will miss the matches against Barcelona since he should get some treatments and undergo quarantine for some days/weeks. I hope it won't be a long time for him to take a rest and will be back on the field very soon.

It's sad that we will not see Messi vs CR7, it would certainly be a good one if he was there.

Very sad, buddy. I've been waiting for a long time to see CR7 and Messi in the same match again. Actually, now they will meet at the highest level of football competition, so it should be a very interesting match. But unfortunately, something bad happened with CR7, then they cannot meet in the upcoming matches. Well, let's hope someday having again the opportunity to see both CR7 and Messi in the same match.

what bad news for fun.. very bad!
bad news also for Messi, who probably loses the only real incentive he had to play to the best of his ability..

unfortunately it will be an absolutely anonymous and strange second season, not as we are used to because of the covid

if Bayern continues to play at this pace all the other matches in the Champions League, it will certainly become the champion for the second time. score 4 goals Atletico, not everyone can boast.

[sana54210]

Covid is a different random type of gambling and it will never be the same for everyone in the world. There are people who are over 70 years old who survive, and there was a football player at age of 17 who died from it, some people get it asymptomatic and never feel a thing, and some people live it so hard that even if they beat covid itself the consequences linger for longer in their lungs, it is not really same for everyone.

Ronaldo has a bit of age, but not that much, plus he takes care of his body like no other person I have seen, so that means dude would probably recover but if he has this harsh, that only means that he had to contract it from direct source, like no mask and direct speaking for a long period.

Well they do have a top team and depth to do it 100% and they are my top favorites for taking it, but season is long, lot of things can happen, injuries and such, transfers...They will have their ups and downs and there are teams that can beat Bayern in 2 matches despite it does not look like it at the moment.

My fellow Ronaldo fans, he ain’t playing. This news clearly point that Cristiano Ronaldo won't have the option to play against Barcelona next Wednesday. I guess each football fan was anticipating this game, to see LM10 and CR7's rivalry on the pitch after a long break, it's a pity that this bad thing happen.

I agree.Based on Bayern performance in these first games it clearly shows they are the most in form team and they are eager to win again.Real Madrid and Barcelona together with Psg and Juventus simply are not yet in a form to be able to stop such Bayern but things can change during the course of the Champions League season as we are just in the group stages.

Atalanta - Ajax will be interesting. Ajax just won their Eredivisie match against VVV Venlo with 0-13.

Was a nice match. Half time it was 0-4.

Against Liverpool they had chances enough to win it. Lets hope they get some points against Atalanta.

PSG is unlikely to be able to repeat the success of last year. Juventus is too old a team. The experience is there, but the strength is not enough. Real and Barcelona are in search of balance and perhaps they will only be enough for La Liga. So Bayern is still the favorite.

Small update on CR7 Covid Situation.
We have no update, he is probably positive but we have not official updates, he is training in a personal Gym/home, he is in a good shape but we don't know if he is positive or not so we can't know yet if he will play.

I think he is positive and he will not play, I don't think this is only a pretactic to make a surprice on the game with Barca.

McKennie however has been turned negative and he maybe be in the squad list.

[3meek]

It is interesting how Shakhtar will play with Inter after he managed to defeat Real in the guest match!?
Shakhtar got one of the most difficult groups, and they were the only ones who could score 3 points out of all!

Atalanta - Ajax will be interesting. Ajax just won their Eredivisie match against VVV Venlo with 0-13.

Ajax in my opinion will win. Atalanta has shown an unconvincing game lately. And misses a lot of goals. So a fairly large score is possible in this match.

Not really sure if Ajax will win in the end. I see both teams equaly strong and it can go both ways. But I agree with you that we'll probably see a lot of goals in that match on Tuesday. Most likely on both side so a bet on BTTS could be a good option. In all of Atalantas last 6 matches we saw at least 4 goals and Ajax just set a record in the Eredivisie with their 13-0 victory. So over 3.5 goals is also a good bet in my opinion.
