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

[Slow death]

it will be a game where Messi and Ronaldo will try to play to please the audience watching at home because the two teams have already moved to another stage. will Griezmann and Messi score in that game? as a fan of juventus i hope cristiano ronaldo scores at least 1 goal and juventus can win that game.

Nobody shall put the money in the favorites tonight , it is upset time at the last game of the round.
Believe me there will be so much upset including how chelsea could lost to krasnodar with kepa in the goal lol

I mostly agree with this and I am going for goals in several games.
Leipzig has to win against United and United is most dangerous when counter attacking. This one should be both to score and over 2.5 goals easy.
PSG should win very comfortably so over goals or handicap on them look good.
Dortmund has been a bit shaky in the last few games, I am expecting both to score and over 2.5 goals in this one as well.
Kiev game should also have both over goals and over cards in it.

If Real Madrid lose their toughest three matches, they will most likely be eliminated from LaLiga and the most difficult to deal with will be Sevilla this weekend and Atletico madrid next week.
But I believe Zinedine Zidane is a great coach who is respected and supported by his team, so whatever decision is made and which player is chosen is the best for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid should beware, but in Zinedine Zidane you can depend upon him. The couch is not tired but the players does so they should work on it. Zidane is far better, he won 3 consecutive UCL trophies. Half squad of Real Madrid out, Madrid should get new talents with new format of playing.

Real Madrid have to win last match when faced with Borussia Mönchengladbach if wanna qualify on the next stage, if Madrid failed to get three points maybe Inter and Borussia Mönchengladbach will go on to the next stage if Inter Milan success defeat Sakhtar Donesk. I think Zidane have prepare good squad for last match because until now no one club have pass to the next stage because they have little different points from Madrid, Inter, Sakhtar and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

It will be quite difficult for Real Madrid to win. Russia needs at least a draw. If it loses and Inter wins against Shakhtar, then Inter will go to the next round. But a draw suits both teams, if Inter wins Shakhtar. We will have two quite interesting games.

Today i am waiting  Juventus vs  Barca match. Even though I will definitely qualify, I am waiting for Messi and Ronaldo's match, this is a classic duel. Even though Messi has not played in the last two match I hope he is in the starting line up, because this is the last match of the group. Meanwhile, in the first leg match in Turin, Ronaldo was absent due to Covid. We know they are the best players in  years, even though they are getting old.

Surely it will be worth it , several times this team makes the other 3 struggle, psg is oneof them and tge next victim, nice odds by the way.

I don't have high expectations to be honest but I sure hope they upset PSG. Small bets with decent return is always worth a gamble.

~ And I think this is the last time we'll see a Messi vs Ronaldo match.  

Why? Is Messi joining Ronaldo at Juve? That would be fun to see. They might be past their prime but that duo could still be deadly against any team

[adamvp]

Time for group G, where Barcelona will face to Juventus and Dinamo Kiyw will play against Ferencvaros,
In Juventus Merih Demiral and Alvaro Morata will be missing https://www.transfermarkt.com/juventus-fc/sperrenundverletzungen/verein/506/plus/1 but Juventus won last Seria A match without them, so maybe it won't be big weaknes? In FCB we won't see Ousmane Dembélé. I think is as many premises for Barcelona as for Juventus, so maybe it will be a draw?
Regarding to second game we have 2 teams playing very well in their leagues, I think a little higher chances for winning has Dinamo as a host.

The match wouldn't be so competitive imho, but at least I will expect both teams to play with pride especially playing at home and coming back from another league defeat against Cadiz. Juventus have already secured that qualifying spot as well, so If they won't be travelling with some of their best players it will be understandable.

[tomahawk9]

gonna stay away from all those matches where teams play for nothing and will keep my eyes on the matches that actually matter today: PSG - Basaksehir, Lazio - Brugge and Leipzig - Man United

i have that last match in a single bet (Over3 goals at 1.78, crappy odds, i know). It's all or nothing for both teams, i doubt they'll speculate about a draw, each side is gonna go out there and they're gonna try to win. The germans are going to miss Upamecan tho, huge handicap for them, he's their best defender

Both Barcelona and Juventus guaranteed to qualify to next round. It will be a good match but I don't think we will see %100 from these teams on the pitch. Even a draw is enough for Barcelona to qualify 1st in the group. If they win they will make 6 of 6, that would be formidable performance.

Dinamo Kiev should beat Ferencvaros and go to European League. They got a draw at first game but I don't expect them to make a mistake playing at home.

It's different again in Laliga, at UCL, of course messi and his friends will try hard to win the match, but on the other hand, Juventus' performance is much better than Barcelona, I'm sure a victory from one will definitely happen but I hope Ronaldo can beat him up front. Messi, because this proved that his going to Juventus was able to bring opportunities to the UCL final.
Ah, I can't wait to see the two stars duel again.

No great expectation it would be another overhyped boring 0:0 match as the greatest of all time (Messi) meets the best of all time(Cr7). Both teams have already qualified to the next round just a battle of who goes top of the table

[adamvp]

And last but not least (most interesing though) group H.
Leipzig vs Man Utd , I am afraid United will have to satisfy of European League  after this match, RB Leipzig played very well against  Bayern last Saturday and will be a host, only hope for  Man Utd is that will be RB's tiredness..
Second match: I know  Baseksehir has big heart to fight but I think  PSG with Neymar, Mbappe etc should in the end win

I don't have a clue yet I am feeling excited. It's an absolute pleasure watching these two greats play against each other. They both are living legends, we should enjoy then when they're here. Indeed we're very lucky that we got chance to watch two legends meet again after a long break.

Me, too, but I remember first match disappointed me, and today it is many premises that this match won't be as good as we're expecting, too.  So I'd rather watch other match.

[Karartma1]

Barcelona - Juventus seems the only nice game to watch tonight. CR7 and Leo Messi are once again one against the other and I think that tonight Messi will win this personal game once more. I do not see Juve having many chances of winning (the odds also are very much against the guys from Turin). In terms of the next phase, the game has nothing to say because both teams have already passed this stage.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus probably don't care about the game with Barca for this evening.

DeLigt will rest and Tek too.

They will play only because they need to otherwise they will save energy for the SerieA.

To be on safer side I will rather bet on both team to score than to pick one of them wining today's match, Barca lost to Cadiz last weekend while Juventus won their last match but I can't use those matches as a yardstick to pick a winner in today's match, the match can be dicey however Its going to be an entertaining and an explosive match having two outstanding players in person of Messi and Ronaldo playing against each other.

[cryptofrka]

Tough day for betting, a lot of games in which result is not a priority. Barcelona - Juventus sounds like a perfect game to lose some money on so I'll avoid that one for sure.

I went with Lazio to win and a betbuilder that has 1x on Leipzig and over 2,5 goals. That will be the game I'll be watching and is the only one where I feel at least some drama can be expected.

Today's matche are not necessary for Barcelona and Juventus team. Because both teams have already been selected for the next round. Still, I think Barcelona will win today. And Messi will be able to score goals today.

[leea-1334]

Lazio - Brugge is do or die game. I'm backing Lazio to win.
Leipzig - MU is another big value game. Personally, I wouldn't be against to see MU going to Europa league.
Barcelona - Juventus is meaningless game in general. But it's worth to watch because of Messi and Ronaldo playing against each other. Who knows, maybe it's of last times when they will faceveach other on the pitch.
Dynamo - Ferencvaros - direct clash for Europa league spot. I'm backing Dynamo, IMO they're slightly better.

My picks are on those same selections: Lazio, Leipzig, Barcelona and Dynamo. Lazio and Dynamo are the better teams, and Barca are playing with much more freedom in UCL,,, so they should win, meaningless or not.

Leipzig I just feel were so fired up almost won against Bayern. They need to prove something and United might face problems away from home:)
