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

[snipie]

Did not watch the match but I was really surprised to see Juve getting out, especially after they scored for 2:1 and Porto was man down. No matter my bet Juve to win passed so I was happy.

I said once Juve was lucky to face Porto, then after the first game, I was like surprise surprise then I said OK Juve will come back. Just followed the game for a few minutes, Porto scored first and I quit. It was good to see them trying hard to pass this round but unfortunately they failed. Dortmund did well too and passed thanks to Haaland.
Today Leipzig should try its best to pass against dysfunctional Liverpool and PSG - Barca shouldn't end under 4 goals tho.

I thought the same when I read the news about the draw some time back.
Juventus with more experiences in CL and with more star players than Porto should be able to pass without any important difficulties.
Sure, we both were wrong as we underestimated Porto.
Ronaldo with his big name could not even help the team much yesterday, did he create a chance to score goal yesterday?

With Liverpool performance at the moment, I think Leipzig can change the opportunity. Indeed, 2 goals behind and having to play at Liverpool base will make Leipzig even more difficult. However, their form in the Bundesliga has been impressive in recent matches. As #2 in their local league, for me there is a high chance for Leipzig to win this match. despite having to win via Penalty.

Will Liverpool's ugliness make it to tonight's UEFA match? even though this is an opportunity for Leipzig but I don't think I will give up that for me because this is one of the trophies he is still chasing even though this is far from a possibility.
I know Leipzig have had a good run in the Bundesliga but I don't know what happened in tonight's game even though there are often mistakes at home for Liverpool who have often taken defeats in their domestic league.

I do not think that Liverpool will bring that bad streak into champions league, in fact they will probably beat Leipzig easily, just like how they were doing horrible in premier league but won the last game, it will be basically something similar. They are not that great this year but they are still liverpool, nobody should see them as easy pickings. If I had to wager on that game I would definitely pick liverpool over leipzig once again.

The real trick will be PSG versus Barcelona game, Barcelona has been on a good roll in La Liga and came thus far but the difference between the two teams seems huge, last game PSG destroyed Barcelona and it looks like they may do that again, but the fact that PSG is so far ahead already may mean that they might not care about the game too much and if they do not care, they may lose with small difference, like 2-1, in that case they still go up but wagering on Barcelona could be profitable. I am not sure about that one though.

I think Leipzig has a good chance to win the match against Liverpool today. Leipzig has a good run while Liverpool has strong problems. However, it is hard to say whether it will be enough for Leipzig to advance to the next round.

Barcelona is already eliminated in my opinion. There will be no miracle against PSG like in 2017 (PSG won 0:4 in the first leg and Barca 6:1 in the second leg). PSG has a more solid team than in 2017 and Barca is in a major club crisis.

[acquafredda]

Tonight I hope the two home playing teams can win their respective games and also conquer the next Champions League stage.
PSG @ 2.68 and Liverpool @ 2.63 are too inviting to leave them there and with a $5 bet, we can win seven times more than our stake.

Only two words about Juve and CR7: yesterday stated the failure of the Champions League-CR7 Juventus project. The overpaid portuguese champion, will not make into Juventus history for sure.

Well...
Liverpool won the first game, but now we need to consider that Firmino, Van Dijk and Matip are injured, and that makes a big "defeat" if we add to the terrible phase that Liverpool has been going through.
RB Leipzig is also in great morale, as they are having an excellent championship in the German league with several consecutive victories... I don't remember the numbers now.
I will not bet against the odds, RB Leipzig for sure.

[kassex]

Yesterday I liked the game of Borussia Dortmunt. We played competently against Sevilla. Sevilla has a good team, but they still lack experience. If we manage to keep the main players, then next season I think that Sevilla can advance further in the Champions League.

Imo, don't be so sure about it. Because before the first leg, Liverpool were in such a bad condition in the EPL too but they still defeated Leipzig 2-0 although Leipzig had a good run. There is a similar scenario now also and everything can happen in this match. I expect goals from both teams this time but I think Liverpool will qualify for the quarter final in the end.

[roosbit]

small info by the way...
Erling Haaland is now, by his two goals yesterday against fc valencia, the youngest player (20 years, 7 months, 16 days) in the ucl-history who has scored 20 goals.
he has now displaced Kylian Mbappe (21 years, 11 months, 19 days) in the 2nd place
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haaland-mbappe-amp-co-the-youngest-players-to-reach-20-ucl-goals/index/galerie/3365?page=40

is he that young?
I don't even know that he is that young. he's so good, so people like me expect more and more until finally realized that he is still very young.
the same thing happens when you are a United fan but you give many excuses to Lingard because he is not performing well. he is already 28, but he still looks like a young player who graduated 2-3 years ago from the academy. for your benchmark, Bruno is 26  

I am waiting for PSG vs Barcelona, 4 am in the morning from my timezone  

Not only has he surpassed him, but also Messi and Ronaldo, Dortmund really have great talent, do not be surprised if Real Madrid and Barcelona start calling him, the Norwegian player is in good shape and has the ideal age, the player's youth is ideal for any team of these magnitudes.

Well if my speculations are true, I imagine that Real Madrid or Barcelona must already be doing negotiations or having conversations with Dortmund. These clubs always want the best.

Did you say Barcelona or Real Madrid I honestly think thats a bad place for a young lad with so much to offer....I would rather he goes to play in the Epl and not the Spanish league but like everybody wishes to sign him these remain transfer rumours  not until deal is put on paper and signed for....

Tonight I hope the two home playing teams can win their respective games and also conquer the next Champions League stage.
PSG @ 2.68 and Liverpool @ 2.63 are too inviting to leave them there and with a $5 bet, we can win seven times more than our stake.

I don't think PSG could lose grip of their precious away goals, what might happen is containing Barca not to score or at the least play out for shared points.... PSG to win or draw looks good

And for Liverpool I fear for them, because that losing streak their on might actually catch up with them today and I don't see them winning because currently RB is a better team and has better form  !

Only two words about Juve and CR7: yesterday stated the failure of the Champions League-CR7 Juventus project. The overpaid portuguese champion, will not make into Juventus history for sure.

The old lady almost went through yesterday and CR7 was in the mix to make this happen getting himself an assist but it was not happen thanks to that Porto penalty which denied Juve from progressing.

Whatever the prediction, I'm just sure Liverpool will continue to advance to the next round, because even if Liverpool lose only 1 goal gap then it will still make Liverpool go through. So yes, even though Liverpool are not good in the EPL but they can still fight at UCL as much as possible, in this prestigious competition anything can still happen even though the team has a decline in form in the local league but at UCL they can make a different view.

[SammyBiG]

When you can't score goals for 60 minutes in 11vs 10 you deserve to be out.

It wasnt entirely their fault though. Porto made solid defending throughout the entire match so yeah Porto deserved to win. Well atleast today Porto's supporter would be grateful with The VAR. VAR saved Porto's ass today because the line referee didnt raise his flag and without the VAR system, Morata's goal would be considered as a valid goal

Fun fact : Chiesa scored 3 out of 4 total goals by Juventus in both matches. Solid performances from Chiesa

😂😂😂😂😂
What you get when you're over confident

[bitzizzix]

Paris Saint Germain v Barcelona is taking place in the 2nd leg of the last 16, and it is very difficult for Barcelona to win this match because in the first leg Barcelona lost 1-4 to PSG.
and Lionel Messi et al must be able to qualify with a win and a minimum margin of 4-0, and PSG is not an easy opponent and in my opinion winning 4-0 seems difficult for Barcelona, enjoy watching this interesting match and I bet with a score of 2-1 on Barcelona.

[Renampun]

good day to bet IMO...
Liverpool vs Leipzig = I bet on Liverpool.
PSG vs Barca = I bet on PSG, not sure Barca can win in this second match after the painful results in the first leg.

[abderrazak belkhir]

Baecelona players are trying hard to score the first goal and make things less complicated...already 8 goal attempts but just 2 shots on goal...they must be more desesive in the last touch and its very important for them to score at least one goal in the first half

[Harkorede]

I backed both Liverpool and PSG to win, despite Liverpool's recent struggles I believe that they're whole season is at stake right now so they'd need to come up with great results.

I should have gone with Barcelona, but I just can't see the team going through and I assume that over commitment might hurt Barcelona.

PSG BARCA 1-1 1st half, Messi missed a penalty but.

I have a question, where is the second yellow and the following red card for Kurzawa?
He got yellow card minutes earlier and that should be a second yellow card.

[abhiseshakana]

PSG BARCA 1-1 1st half, Messi missed a penalty but.

A very exciting match  ... The penalty executed by Kylian Mbappe gave PSG a 1-0 lead over Barcelona but in the 37th-minute Messi managed to score a goal and made the score a draw. Even though the match still had 45 minutes left but Barcelona's chances to beat PSG are very tough. To get through to the Quarter-finals, Barcelona still needs 4 more goals (with the condition that PSG no longer scoring goals).

[Reosta_]

PSG BARCA 1-1 1st half, Messi missed a penalty but.

Messi answered with a great goal to Mbappe but it was really unfortunate that he missed a very valuable penalty while the first half was nearly ending. If he scored it, maybe things could be different now and Barcelona could have their hopes up for the quarter final. But there are 30 minutes left and I don't think they will manage to score at least 3 goals without conceding any.

[DIA7]

Were it not for the bar and the brilliant Navas, the Remontada would have been completed in the first half !! Barcelona made its best game with Koeman, and Paris inhabited by fear and nightmares of 2017, a game in which Barca excelled technically, tactically and mentally, but the result stubbornly and remained tied ..
Now 65 minutes in but i don't think there Is hope left.

[roosbit]

I can't believe Liverpool is winning against in form Leipzig, could it be the neutral ground helping because had it been Anifield....this might have been a different result.

Current score: Liverpool 2-0 RB Leipzig
