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

[BTCGOLD]

Barcelona vs PSG! That would really be a competition. Barcelona lost 4-0 in Paris a few years ago, and then won 6-1 at home before continuing. That was absurd.

Round-of-16 draw:

Mönchengladbach Vs Man. City
Lazio Vs Bayern
Atletico Vs Chelsea
Leipzig Vs Liverpool
Porto Vs Juventus
Barcelona Vs PSG
Sevilla Vs Dortmund
Atalanta Vs Real Madrid

my favs to qualify are in bold. What are YOUR favorites to qualify to the quarterfinals?

Looks like the choice of my favorite team that will qualify for the quarter final is not much different from yours. I chose Manchester City,
Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus, PSG, Sevilla and Real Madrid who will qualify for the next round. It turns out that my favorite team
choice is only different in the Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea match, I chose Chelsea because they have better quality players than Atletico Madrid.
And also Chelsea played very well while still in the group stage, without losing and be the first place in group E.

I am not really thrilled with drawing Leipzig, they are a good and really organized team. They have the best defence so far in the Bundesliga and also have quality players in attack.

I hope Chelsea will beat Atletico, but Atletico is one of the most resilient and experienced teams. With Suarez they have added that quality as well and I see them as favorites here.

PSG against Barcelona at the end of this stage we will see someone getting fired either Koeman or Tuchel as it will be something embarrassing for those two clubs to be knocked out in this early stage since both of them are contenders for this title. PSG have spent hundreds of millions trying to lift it while Barcelona is trying to get it so they can persuade Messi to stay for more seasons at Camp Nou.

The fierce match between PSG and Barcelona because it is a bet for the two coaches Koeman or Tuchel to prove their capacity is worthy of both teams or not, especially for Tuchel, the minus results in the domestic league are currently a bit of a consideration for PSG management to sack Tuchel or keep him, however for Koeman it is proof of whether he is worthy of being the coach of Barcelona and is able to bring Barca back to at least appear in the Champions League final this season.

Tbh, every of this fixture is going to be tough, we could pick a couple of favorites on paper for now, but then the game will be settled on the pitch and I'm expecting a couple of surprises, or to put in another way, upsets; last season City were eliminated by Lyon even when everyone expected Guardiola's men to go through, that result could give mochengladbach confidence in this game, I'll keep my fingers crossed till the games begin.

Barcelona vs PSG! That would really be a competition. Barcelona lost 4-0 in Paris a few years ago, and then won 6-1 at home before continuing. That was absurd.

I'm not expecting that crazy scoreline again, lol, and I think the both teams aren't even in form this season, things could obviously change before this game is played and I'll be hoping it does so we get a good match from both sides, imo, PSG go through.

Almost same with you.
The only difference is Barcelona and PSG. Oh, and also Dortmund.

But...

This round is open for surprises!

[Karartma1]

Just hold your horses guys till we have until February to bet on these games, then you can bet!  You don't know how many things could possibly change from today until then. It's way too early to cast any prediction.

[LTU_btc]

I think it's pretty much pointless to predict who will advance now, there is 2 months until games and lot of things may change, especially considering in what crazy times we live.
For Barca PSG isn't worst what could happen, considering that we could get Bayern, City or Liverpool. Anyway, after all these disasters in recent years, I don't have big expecations this year.
From all these pairs, I have no doubts about Bayern only that they will go further. In other pairs, even if there is favorite, things can get in both ways. Barca -PSG, Atletico - Chelsea and Sevilla - Dortmund looks most interesting and unpredictable for me.

[adamvp]

It is hard to predict anything such longtime before, but let's have some fun.
My predictions for 8 quarterfinalists:
Bayern, PSG, Juventus, Borussia
Chelsea, Man City, Rb Lipsk and Real

[tokeweed]

Good draw.  This is the most competitive roster of match ups I've seen in a couple years or so for the KO stage.  City and Bayern got lucky tho.

I am really hyped about Atletico Madrid-Chelsea and Barcelona-PSG matchups. Atletico Madrid are going awesome in the league so far. They are very good in CL too. Chelsea are doing good with Lampard this season. They have really talented players. Both teams are powerful enough to eliminate each other. My favorite team on this matchup is Chelsea. Barcelona are having in-team problems this season. They are good in CL but not much in the league. Because they are very unstable and having problems on scoring many goals, I don't see them as the favorite team here. As for PSG, Neymar had an unfortunate injury last night. But they are playing really good as a team. So, I think that PSG can eliminate Barcelona even without Neymar.

[MonsterV]

you need a lot of luck to win the champions league, of course the best team wins in the end, the definitive of the best can be viewed in more ways, a team that is the best because they played the best or because they performed the best, bayern munich last season in the champions League did not start well, but after the corona they were ruthless and they waltzed over every opponent, i am curious again how atalanta will do it.

this pair is the most exiting among others and many people expect many scored goals during two matches between Barcelona and PSG. but a lot depends on the form of PSG leaders because Neymar got injured recently and Mbappe thinking about leaving the club.

Chelsea is not playing well in the Premier League this season, while Athletico is playing well at La Liga and in the Champions League!
This match is still a few months away, but I think Athletico will win!

[ingiltere]

There are a lot of unknown situation until February. We don't know how corona virus will affect the season this winter. We don't know if fans will watch games in stadiums again. We don't know what impact new transfers will bring.

I like match-ups generally. As everybody else expect, I'm looking forward to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain matches. This time Neymar will be on the other side.

The drawing was pretty good, the all big teams didn't meet in the first knockout round except PSG and Barca. I still want Madrid go to the quarter-finals. This time I am interested in Leipzig which reached the semifinals last season, is this an opportunity? Although they have to fight against Liverpool who have superior quality players, in history they have never played.

Ohhh.you predict that 3 german teams will fail. only bavaria / bayern will advance one round. i think at least two german teams will reach the next round.
in corona time there is no advantage for the team to play in its own stadium. the fans don't create an atmosphere.
there will definitely be one or two surprises.

UCL Round of 16 draw result. What concerns me is Barcelona vs PSG. It's hard to predict this, but I prefer PSG to continue to the next round.
My question is whether the UCL system is still like before? does not use the Home and Away system.
