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

[GbitG]

I'm watching the Bayern game versus Lazio.

There are no chances for Lazio, they are superior and they are not even at their 100%, they can score anytime they want.

This game can end even with 5 or more goals in difference.

Lazio played very badly.  they even scored a goal in their own goal.  As a result, Bayern Munich won by a crushing score 4-1.  I think Bayern Munich will win the other game differently.  Chelsea may have won the other game as well, but the score will bring any possibility.  We can see a very exciting match in the rematch.

Yes I was not expecting win for Chelsea here against Atletico but they manage and now going with advantage which is really going to help but still they need to do some good for qualifying in next round because Atletico can bounce back in next match.
Bayern is rioting badly teams so look like they are going to be good for win again in this season.

Atletico Madrid is a strong enough team. I don't think Chelsea will be able to win the next match against them. They are in great form in La Liga. Maybe they lost 1-0 in a match against Chelsea. That was not a big defeat. But I think they will comeback destructively in the next match

Lazio and Bayern are two teams in different level obviously but it is surprising to see Lazio was able to create many goal attempts against bigger team like Bayern. I cant fully agree that Lazio played badly, they have played their best imho. Coming up to the match between Atl Madrid vs Chelsea, I'm a bit surprised to know the result. Atl Madrid is superior in LaLiga while Chelsea is in their beginning phase with the new manager but Chelsea is able to win and dominating the whole game.

Bayern after this game looks like one heavy contender to win the Champions League.I knew somehow that Atletico Madrid would screw up but I didn’t have the guts to bet on Chelsea yesterday.You cannot expect anything good from a team which draws and lose to Levante in just three days difference.

Bayern Munich crushed their opponent yesterday. I think there aren't that much teams which can defeat Bayern Munich as they keep playing like this.

Maybe PSG can. They suprised my last week against Barcelona.

Is it the same Bayern Munich who lost and drew in their last 2 games collecting 1 point from possible 6 points? I know Champions league spirit is different but they had an easy draw, Lazio has been poor this season, the scoreline was not surprised to me as I was expecting it, there are a lot of underdogs in the champions league this year, Chelsea were underdogs in front of newspapers but we all saw how they controlled ATM from start to finish and got away with an important away advantage setting one foot in the quarterfinals already. PSG and Bayern are not the strongest, Manchester City are doing well for themselves too.

I really wonder what happened to Atletico in this period. Drawing with Levante and after losing to them in a home match... I still wanted to believe they would play differently in the CL match but they were so terrible that Chelsea could even win it with a more score difference. If Atletico don't improve their performance in the rematch, Chelsea can defeat them in Stamford Bridge too and advance to the next round comfortably.

Atlético is looking very fatigued lately and losing while playing home with Chelsea was not that unexpected. Tuchel's Chelsea confirms to have another grip these days and I expect them to be able to reach the final this way.
Lazio Bayern Munich, on the other hand, showed that Bayern can be merciful form time to time as they could well scored another 4 goals. They decided not to beat the dead horse.

Thomas Tuchel have great touch so far for Chelsea, after success on domestic league now he continue good track on champion league after success win for the first leg from Atletico Madrid, make easy way for Chelsea second leg on Stanford Bridge because just withdraw make Chelsea will going on to the next stage, can Thomas Tuchel give the same result what happen with PSG last year success to final road and give for Chelsea too?

Yes, unlike the German Bundesliga, they play better in the CL and they are on a good way to finish as winners.

Lots of interesting matches coming up! I count on Atletico to win against Chelsea... Bookmakers do not pick a clear winner and the odds for both teams to win are quite high! In my opinion Atletico looks stronger!

I would bet the opposite. Chelsea have had a very good run after changing the coach and they have improved from game to game so far. The odds speak against Chelsea and that's exactly what's interesting about placing a small bet on a Chelsea win.

Chelsea are much better with Tuchel but this is a quite hard away game for them against a beast like Atletico. But it could be a good chance for Chelsea that the match will be in a neutral location. If Chelsea somehow manage to get a nice result there, they can have a big advantage in Stamford Bridge. I think both games of the draw will be very delightful.

Seems my idea worked out Chelsea won 1-0 and they should have even win with at least two goals ahead since Chelsea was clearly the better team with some missed chances. Tuchel's work bears fruit very early on. The team is much more stable in the defence and the offensive is more effective. That doesn't mean that they will move on to the next round. The second leg will not be easy. But they scored an away goal so they can play for a draw now. All cards are with Chelsea.

I think it is still very early to say that Chelsea will make it to the final. There are very strong clubs like City, Bayern, PSG etc. . If Chelsea manage to eliminate Atletico which seems quite possible, much harder teams will be waiting for them in the next round. But as long as they play like this, their chance of continuing in this tournament will be higher of course.

Losing 1-0 at home is already a big deal. Do not forget that they are also trying to protect their three point lead in La Liga and that makes it harder for them to balance their squad in both competitions. Chelsea has much less at stake and they can play more freely in the second leg.

Borussia Moenchengladbach will have a difficult task tonight as they are be facing Manchester City.
Tge blues are in a hell of a and i don’t expect to see any surprises here. The English side should secure the advantage in the first-leg match without major trouble. Especially when the hosts are struggling in recent form getting just one point in their last 3 matches. But they will be atleast looking to score a goal that's why I'm going with BTTS.

I am also optimistic that Manchester City will have no difficulty facing Moenchengladbach, especially since Manchester City's performance is
very consistent. Meanwhile, Moenchengladbach has had a very poor performance in the Bundesliga, from the last 5 matches, they were only
able to win one. Then if you look at the head to head of the two teams in the Champions League, it's clear that Manchester City is better.
From 4 meetings with Moenchengladbach in 2015 and 2016, Manchester City have won 3 matches and one draw. From this comparison,
it is clear that Manchester City's chances of winning are huge.

They and City have been the favourites since Day 1 outrights actually, so no surprise there. And they still are the favourites according to the bookies right now. I dutifully put my bets in before group stages on Liverpool (7/1).

Last week, City were 25/1 to win the quadruple though, a special I missed out on. Don't think they'll win CL but that's better value than an outright standalone I feel.

That really surprised me winning with 1-0 against Atletico. Great job with getting advantage over if first leg but yeah its not job done yet .

The team is much more stable in the defence and the offensive is more effective. That doesn't mean that they will move on to the next round. The second leg will not be easy. But they scored an away goal so they can play for a draw now. All cards are with Chelsea.

I would say that Chelsea under Tuchel seems much more organized and bit sharp as compared to the team under Lampard. Defense has gone serious and attacking is also going on decent. Still with the depth like Chelsea has right now they should be scoring more goals - I am not saying from CL point of view but also PL and other leagues. You never know when the lead might get overturned. There are lot of concerns inside Chelsea still but it is showing signs of slow improvement.

It looks ominous for the other teams after seeing Bayern last night, they are the team to beat. I was surprised Chelsea beat Atletico, I have always despised Atletico’s style with Simeone though. Tonight Real & Man City should win, this is the CL though, anything can happen.

For me, i do not think Mochengladbach would have it difficult in tonights  tie because they do not stand a chance to compete at all; Manchester city side is in flyng form and i expect nothing less than a 3 0 victory aaway in germany from pep side.

Spanish league's teams are not doing well in the Champions League. The top team in la Liga also lost to Chelsea in the Champions League.
Are other leagues more advanced than the Spanish league? What do you think? Spanish league teams are richer than other league teams.
If I'm not mistaken, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the first and second richest football clubs in the world.
