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

[Harkorede]

It's not getting any easier  for Real Madrid in any competition, now they are the risk of getting eliminated in the very first round of the champions, what could be more humiliating for a team of such caliber ? but I'm more convinced that'd turn things around in the last fixture against Mochengladbach since a win would assure them a spot in the last 16.

today wav really strange, real madrid lose, atalanta draw, inter win  

however, atalanta has excellent chances of qualifying, just a draw against ajax is enough, while inter now, after the defeat of real, could also win against shaktar, but be eliminated if real madrid and borussia draw, it's a really balanced group, technically both inter and real madrid could be eliminated

What a crazy goal for Liverpool  . What a mistake of Onana!!
Just a while after Ajax almost  scored .
Liverpool is saved!
First goal for OM! Will they get first point in Champions League  since 2012?

That goal of Liverpool was a big mistake. Cant remember when Onana made auxh big mistake. He is normally a very steady goalkeeper

I think the reason is that Ajax usually in Netherland League  plays against very  weak opponent, which has no  strong offensive and probably it is why he lacks concentration.
 But later he saved Ajax few times, even if hopeless situations. In other way just very very bad luck.

I thought it was strange that Real Madrid lost to Donetsk again. home and away.

It is not strange, Real Madrid isn't a strong team this season. They even can be defeated by a small team in La Liga, so it is not surprising if Real Madrid got bad results in the Champions League. I think it is time for Real Madrid to say "goodbye" to the Champions League trophy this season. Just look at the table of Group B, Real Madrid is only in third place. If Real Madrid gets defeated in the next match, they will be eliminated from the Champions League.

*Group B
1. Monchengladbach
2. Shakhtar
3. Madrid
4. Inter

it's a really good group, everyone has a chance to qualify or get eliminated, inter's win wasn't surprising, what would have been if borussia won that game, Inter deserved that win, but what was really surprising is Real Madrid, another loss against shakhtar, i didn't see that coming at all, i hope they don't get eliminated, same thing for inter, there will be some boring one sided matches in the round of 16.

Inter will pass in Champions if

-They win and Real beat Borussia

Inter will pass in Europa League

-They win and Real will not beat Borussia

Inter stays in Milan if they don't win.


In Italy we call it "biscotto" when the other game needs a draw to qualify the other 2 teams, it will be this case?

certainly the most dramatic group. At the start no one expected Borussia and Shaktar to be on top two positions.
I wonder if this is the end for Zidane as a Real Madrid manager. such bad releases certainly undermine the credibility that he has gained so far. I think he will not survive until Christmas.

I missed all the matches today. Can’t believe the results on this group.
It would be 1 last final match, all in or nothing for all the teams on this group.
Group B and Group H seems to be the most entertaining group this season.
I hope real madrid can pass the group stage, however I would be happier if they play on UEFA Europa League this season
I am not a hater, but it would be fun to watch all memes about that. We need more entertainment during this pandemic.

I am little bit nervous about today’s match on Group H. I am a United fan but I am still not sure if United can go to the next round. They play badly when we have high expectation about them. Also, there is a rumour that said De Gea can’t be played today.

Inter Milan had 3 points from Borussia and Real Mardid lost 3 points to Shakhtar. They will have to win the last match to qualify for the next round. A flip can be made in the rest match of the Group B. It is better for Champions League if Real Madrid and Inter Milan can go next. Borrussia and Shakhtar won't  be able to go too far with their player quality. Surprise is always has its chance in soccer as we witnessed last season with Atalanta and Leipzig but my bet will be on Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is on their down phase and Zizou will lose his job if Real Madrid will be out of Champions League too early.

Atletico might likely not expose their defence tonight to  repeat what happened in the last encounter with Bayern, Bayern on the other hand have qualified already. They will will likely not be traveling with key players to stage a war with a shattered Atletico side. A draw between them isn't a bad market to pick IMO. Real is playing without Harzad and Ramos and they couldn't defeat Shakhter at home.

I see the Bayern and Atletico Game being a slow and boring Game tbh. I see both teams relying on counter attacks, especially since Bayern has qualified and is playing with a B squad. Atleticos Defense has been stellar and should also be pretty stable, although I see Bayern sneaking one in.
I predict a 1:1.

Gotta quote myself here...
Won both of my bets and called the correct score. Was a nice day betting for me today.
Havent had a look at the games today to find one that I like.

It was a crazy day yesterday though...
Porto/Manchester and Real losing again... wow.

So then we have teams who still have their own destinies in their hands,,, while others could all still have to depend on each other. I think we have to congratulate Midtylland for at least getting their first point, and against a team who went far in the competition and who are challenging for top 4 in Italy!

Definitely the matches to watch now are Real and Inter after this though:)

While I watch without Spurs!

Both of my predictions were on point as well. Congratulations on your winning. Betting is pure luck and a little analysis. It could have gone ether ways.

I would actually prefer Barcelona to qualify as second seed in this group, they should rest all their players and just get prepared for a grueling season in La Liga, protect them from injuries and get this rare opportunity to rest. I hate throwing away games but they will still send out a good side even if it's "B" side. There won't be more opportunities after this.

[Iranus]

It was a crazy day yesterday though...
Porto/Manchester and Real losing again... wow.

Really a great day. In the Porto and Man City match, I thought Man City will win the match. But the match was drawn. I lost the bet. I expect a better match strategy from Guardiola.
The match between Real Madrid and Shakhtar was completely unpredictable for me. Real Madrid is a good team. But Shakhtar is in the form now. I was confused about this match. I am happy that Shakhtar won the match. We see again that it is very difficult for Real to win any match if Benzema is not successful.

[xxjumperxx]

I was kind of happy to see Shakhtar win the match. They had a great game and like you said have been in great form recently.
Benzema is their Superstar now and if he is not doing good it seems to pull down the whole team.

Man City, come on, I really thought it was going to be a win. Close but def. a win but oh my was I wrong

[masulum]

Inter Milan still have one chance to replace Shakhtar or Real Madrid in this round. With a note, Shakhtar lost to Inter Milan in the last match. This result will bringing Inter to UEL if Madrid win. If Madrid lose, then Inter are entitled to qualify for the next round at UCL. The draw in the last match meant nothing to them, as they couldn't compete at UCL or UEL.

The match in Group H, will be very interesting. Because points between ranks 1 - 3 can end up the same, which is 9 points. This will be determined by the difference between the goals concedeed or the team's performance at Home & Away.

Do we see Dortmund winning today after the terrible Performance against Köln on the Weekend? They looked very bad in that game and was kind of surprised to see them lose there...
I see both teams scoring in that game, dont know if I want to take the BTTS in that game or the over...

Any advice on that game?

I am confident that Inter will at least be in Europa League although I hope they go further in Champions League.During the last two years they have shown great performance in Serie A and I think their error in Champions League so far has been that to underestimate Borussia when playing in Milano.

I am on both to score market on this game but over should be a good bet as well. For me both to score is more realistic since I see this game finishing 1:1 much more likely then it finishing 3:0 for one of the sides. I am actually expecting a result like 3:1, same as in the first game.

I will be watching United - PSG today, should be goals in this one as well but I am betting on over cards tonight, both teams have some fast and tricky attacking players and I am expecting a lot of cynical fouls today. Daniele Orsato is referee in this one and he likes to give out the cards and averages over 5 cards per game.

but, it is not that simple, they could pass both in case of draw, but only if Shakhtar does not win over Inter, so I would not count on Borussia and Real play on a draw card, maybe they will wait for Inter to have 2:0 or something, but I do not believe that this could be an easy setup for anyone

would not count out Shakhtar in next round, for me it is really unbelievable that they lost both matches from Borussia, with ten goals conceived, no comment for me, it is a solid team
