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

[Saint-loup]

ARE YOU READY???

Champions League Time in 24 hours.

BARCA-PSG the must-watch game of tomorrow evening. Prediction 1-1

Record Three UCL matches at Camp Nou, Barcelona have never lost. They always win by a number difference of more than one goal.
2014/2015 Champions League they do two match in Camp Nou and the result
Barca 3-1 PSG
Barca 2-0 PSG
2016/2017 Champions League
Barca 6-1 PSG
But today looks like it will be different. Barca were a little weak after the star man left. Apart from that, the club's condition seems not in good shape, rumors of Messi's departure are still ongoing. It will affect their appearance. Then if asked to guess I choose PSG to win by a goal difference.

Thank you for those interesting figures. I've bet on a Barca victory or a draw because I think they're above PSG and without Neymar and Di Maria, PSG will get dominated.

_{why do the PSG odds look so awful?} 

No Neymar, No Di Maria, no fun + new management maybe? Meanwhile Barca is getting better over time and is doing well in La Liga... That's why bookies are backing Barca. But honestly x4.1 for PSG is shameful (x1.8 Barca)... Only M'Gladbach and Lazio have worst odds, even Porto has a better one

Leipzig hosting Liverpool for 1/8 round in CL.
RBL is in a much better form then Liverpool unfortunately for them they need to play their host match in Hungary. I don't think that Liverpool will suffer another loss to make fourth in raw , and it's possible to see the game could end with a draw.
Despite the RBL is very organised in the backline, the Reds can score against any team. Therefore, we should expect both teams to score.

I know Leipzig, the team from Germany, are strong now in the last 16, will face Liverpool as well as Liverpool will not make mistakes again like before in the EPL league.
I also saw the news about Alison Becker, who is now still believed to be the main goalkeeper, but on that note, don't be arrogant to go forward, better focus on the goal with his opponent's shot later.
Anyway this will be an interesting match I want to see how ambitious Liverpool are for his victory.

Whatever the reason, I'm not sure Liverpool will win, at their best, Liverpool when playing far away can still lose. With the current situation going into chaos, I am not sure for whatever reason Liverpool will win. A draw would be the best result for Liverpool, but I still believe Leipzig will win the game because this team doesn't care who their opponent is, Leipzig will continue to fight hard to win.

[jostorres]

Btw..  RBL vs Liverpool will be played at Budapest due to Germany’s covid restrictions for incoming flights.  No wonder the books priced RBL’s lines a bit high.  They’re on neutral ground.  Still leaning RBL tho.  I’m thinking 1 - 0, 2 - 1.

Nowadays the teams doesnt really got any home advantage so it doesn't make any sense it's on neutral ground but gladly they found a place where they can play the game.

I expect a win for RBL. Liverpool is complete out of form so if RBL starts aggresively they can overwhelm Liverpool.

I agree that considering because of covid there are nearly no fans, and only like a few handful people for each player type of situation and max 200-300 people at the stadium at most, as long as it is allowed, they could still have that kind of issues, last I remember family members were allowed (and not like cousins or anything, just mom-dad-wife-kids type of situation) so as long as they are allowed it would be really no difference at all.

However I believe Liverpool has a very good chance today, they have been very bad in the recent month and have a very bad momentum right now which they are trying to break with each game, which will result with them playing their hardest today and win so that they could change their momentum to a better side with a champions league game which worths a lot more than 3 points in the league.

[tomahawk9]

What the heck, bet that Man City will win the whole tournament too. I don't like doing this but they're on fire and could possibly even overrun Juve and Bayern this time around.

Man City was an unstoppable machine in 2017-18 when they got 100pts in the domestic league...but they didn't make it to the Champions League semis that year...next season was a the phenomenal head-to-head battle with Liverpool in the EPL...but the Citizens chocked in the CL quarter finals vs. Spurs...it seems like their league form doesn't always translate into good performances in the CL, so careful with this outright bet

_{why do the PSG odds look so awful?} 

I think it is just a shame there is no Neymar in the game
~

Ah, so that explains it. Scary how much the odds shift when you lose your star player. Reminds me of the time Uruguay lost Luis Suarez in the 2014 World Cup to suspension.

Neymar almost always gets injured around this time of the year/stage of the Champions League so PSG are used to it lol

i think bookmakers have the spaniards as the big favorites mainly cos 1) Barca are a solid unit when playing at home (two lossess in 14 home games this season) and they've been in excellent form lately. 2) This will be Pochettino's first big match since he's the PSG coach so ppl aren't expecting a masterful gameplan and a brilliant showcase of world-class tactics from him against one of the best teams in the world. And 3) the H2H record heavily favors FC Barcelona which is something to always keep in mind in these specials european nights.

Nowadays the teams doesnt really got any home advantage so it doesn't make any sense it's on neutral ground but gladly they found a place where they can play the game.

I wouldn't say so. Even without fans,home pitch is still a factor, but not such significant. For example, home team advantage that they don't have to travel through half of Europe to play game. Now many games played in neutral pitch, but still, there is still away goal rule.

I beg to differ. Barcelona looks much more promising right now when compared to PSG. Barca surely have edge over PSG in forward and midfield departments. Defense is where Barca failed to convince so far. However, Pique was solid in the few matches he played at the start of the season, he is back and most probably will start on the right side of CB pairing today. If Araujo isn't injured then him and Pique would have been perfect pair. But since he isn't playing, I think PSG would be able to sink in one goal, however, Barca will dominate the match and most probably win both legs. Neymar and Di Maria will be big miss for PSG.

Personally for me Pique and Lenglet pair sounds a bit scary for me, we really Araujo. I'm quite confident that Barca can win tonight, but it would be good to not let PSG to score away goal, but it will be very difficult.
BTTS looks like safe bet today, but I'm not so sure about all 8 games .

Klopp would be happy to return to his home country and he wouldn't want to be humiliated so, he will be loading a fantastic lineup against a strong team of Leipzig. 0-2 scoreline should not be a bad match for Liverpool in Germany.

I think liverpool will have a though game today since they have been struggling in the premiere league and they lost some confident they have been even losing at home on the other hand leipzig are stable in their results so i think leipzig will win today.

Liverpool are aiming for victory, but this season has not been their best. Players could get tired of the Klopp high tempo. Leipzig is a very good team, but it is still difficult for him to compete on equal terms with the TOP clubs. Let's see how it will be in this fight. I think we'll see a productive match, but it's hard for me to say who will be the winner in this match.

Yes, as we have seen in the EPL, there is a big setback for Liverpool that has lost a lot of points, while the club LBz is doing well in the bondesliga.I think tonight will be a great opportunity for Liverpool FC they have to win to recap.
As for Barcelona, ​​I don’t think he will beat Paris. I will go with the result of a draw!

I intend to go for the same result but on the other hand, Messi can break any team if he is on a good day. The "sure" thing is that we will see a great game and hopefully with a lot of goals. I believe the same for the other game, Liverpool vs Leipzig, even if the Reds aren't in their best form.

[acquafredda]

I have just prepared a four games bet-slip with the following games: Leipzig to win against Liverpool (sounds crazy, uh?) and Barcelona to win against PSG (another difficult one). That goes for tonight, while for tomorrow I am adding Siviglia to win against Dortmund and Juventus to find a difficult victory in Porto.

Barcelona can win tonight and look not sure with Liverpool can they win or not, last match on Primer League loss again from Leicester City and they left defender position and Leipzig is bigger team right now. Many time loss get by Liverpool could they have good performance tonight or Liverpool keep loss again and miss chance to get UEFA champion league trophy two time like Real Madrid.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I'm just glad the Uefa Champions League is back on. It's not been a boring moment though but the UCL always comes with a different vibe which always makes the UCL a most watch. Today's fixtures, Barcelona vs Paris Saint German is one game that i'm almost sure Barcelona is going to emerge victorious. The PSG team haven't been at there best, even Barcelona too but between these two, the Barcelona team is the better team with them returning to form and they've got the home and first game advantage. So, they've got to ensure they don't conceive more and possibly win today's game.

Although Liverpool might had not been playing well in EPL lately that does not mean that they should be written off completely in today's match, Liverpool has a good record in UCL thus I don't think Leipzig will beat them, their players need motivation and psyching them up this will turn things around for them and I believed Klopp might want to ease off the pressure of not playing well in the league to win this match and bring smiles to their teeming fans who had endured for so long watching Liverpool losing matches consecutively.

[Smartvirus]

I'm just out here wondering whats the fate of Liverpool in this fixtures because, Liverpool has had such bad games of recent in the EPL, lots of injuries in the team, in fact the team is very much in disarray as it is and they would be playing a visionary and informed Bundesliga team Leipzig who's consistency isn't questionable. They stand as the only team that still poses some threat to Bayern and of one two teams that won their games in the Bundesliga the recent concluded week. The best Liverpool can get out of this game is a draw else, its a Leipzig win for sure.
Barca on the other hand might as well work there magic on PSG though, i don't think it's going to be an easy game but would be entertaining for sure.

Of course there is still a slight difference but it's not that big as when you are playing at home in a full stadium. Let's hope their will be filled stadiums soon, even if it's just a quater.

Gladly they have the stadium sounds while watching the match on tv. First I was spectic about this but it makes it more fun to watch.

[ShowOff]

A draw would be the best result for Liverpool, but I still believe Leipzig will win the game because this team doesn't care who their opponent is, Leipzig will continue to fight hard to win.

Maybe on the contrary, Liverpool are not good enough in the EPL but they will do well at UCL. I think UCL will remain Liverpool's top priority this season apart from the EPL and they have to do very well. The UCL is very different from the EPL and I'm sure Liverpool will win the game. Either way, I'm pretty sure.

PSG vs Barcelona match, I will still be at the Barcelona camp today. Losing Neymar will give Barcelona the opportunity to dominate the game. It would be great if Barcelona won this match. I will watch this fight even though the match starts at 3am.

1 hour at the start.

Sad on seeing Neymar mission the game.

[arallmuus]

Liverpool has had such bad games of recent in the EPL

Champions League is not the same as EPL. The tension on this game is different and players had alot more motivation to give their best on Champions League. Also the reason that Liverpool keep on losing in EPL is because most teams are familiar with their attacking style already Liverpool has been using the same strategy and most of the players since last season

This could be different for Leipzig, they might have a hard time against Liverpool

The best Liverpool can get out of this game is a draw else, its a Leipzig win for sure

Im trying to be on a positive side and I am happy if another EPL team makes it to the Final so yeah cheering for Liverpool
