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

[alegotardo]

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid is the game to watch for tonight. It's going to be a very tough one for Atletico playing under pressure as Chelsea has got  oth home advantage and first leg game.

Wel... I would like to bet on a victory for Atletico, but I'm in doubt if in this match they will be able to score two goals over Chelsea, so I'll not risk my bets on them.

This is intended to be a very balanced game and it is very likely that there will be a tie with Chelsea's classification.
Overtime is something I don't like, the result is very unpredictable and can change quickly ... I have a lot of doubt about positioning myself in this game.

Real Madrid Atalanta is the game I cannot wait to watch tomorrow. All my support will go towards the nerazzurri as I trust they can play an excellent game and write their names in the CL History book if they are to conquer their spot in the next CL phase.
Odds are very nice too, so why not?

Nope, Atalanta was not able to enter the game after all and Real Madrid had a clear win in the end. The Bergamo guys need to play more games in Champions League to be able to compete at these levels with the best EU teams. All our respect goes to them because this was journey is never easy.
Now let me forget my bet.

[Raflesia]

Suarez has 18 goals in 24 league games for Atletico this season and he still hasn't scored in over 400 played minutes in the CL. They will heavily rely on his form today, him and Felix are a really interesting partnership.

I expect Chelsea to play counterattacking football, they will try to give as many through balls to Werner as possible while keeping their defence high and their midfield compact.

I am sure tonight Suarez and Felix will continue to appear attacking to win in tonight's match no matter what attack has to happen and I think this is still his second big chance as long as who the defense is stronger and can control the counter attacks when a little off guard between both of them.
We know Chelsea have big ambitions to win in this second leg but I think it will be more difficult how the tactics of Atletico will eventually make Chelsea helpless, but we must know that the solidarity of the players must remain strong to maintain their defense.

[snipie]

Bayern Munich and City are the great candidates to win the champion league.

I hate City lol
They are going to win this year's EPL, they have very good chance to win CL too. Last night I was watching the match and all I was doing is holding my breath for City not to score a goal. Anyway, Liverpool is in the next round to. Let's just hope that we don't slip from there. We have no chance in EPL, at-least we can consolidate us by winning CL 🤣

Post note: I am day dreaming

I watched both matches simultaneously so I may missed some moments but overall City was playing alone. For Real Madrid, it was a "slower" match than City's one. The goal of Benzema then the penalty scored by Ramos killed the game. Not sure if I underestimated Real Madrid or hyped Atalanta, I expected more from them.
Tonight Bayern to pass easily normally so Chelsea - ATM will be more interesting to watch.

[Coyster]

Suarez has 18 goals in 24 league games for Atletico this season and he still hasn't scored in over 400 played minutes in the CL. They will heavily rely on his form today, him and Felix are a really interesting partnership.

If Athletico are to make it to the QF, a lot will depend on the performance that this two men (Suarez and Felix) can put up today, what better way for Suarez to end his drought in the UCL than in such an important game like this, Felix didn't have a good performance in the first leg of this tie, but in this second leg tie, they all have to be on top of their game if they are to have any chance of turning things around in tonight's match.

Bayern Munich suddenly seems to have got this one in the bag with Lazio. In fact, its going to be a goal game and if I were to bet  on this one, itsgoing t be a Bayern Munich win or an over 2.5 game. Let's watch out for this prediction on the  Bayern Munich game.

Bayern are already through to the QF after putting 4 goals past Lazio in the first leg tie, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bayern scores three goals and more tonight, Bayern isn't the sort of team to dwell on a victory, so I expect them to still be fired up for this game, which could result in an embarrassing aggregate score for 'poor' Lazio.

[acquafredda]

I was thinking of placing another kind of bet tonight for Bayern Munich Lazio: given the fact that the Italians have no absolute chance of winning the game or even go the next stage, I will place a bet on Lazio to score at least one goal. Risky one but profitable.

We're heading Champions League quarter-finals and it definitely won't be easy to grab the spot. Who's making it through, that's kinda hard to predict but Atletico Madrid can get a positive result tonight as they have good tactics. Chelsea should take their advantage otherwise Atletico outplay them and reach the quarterfinals. I just excite to see what will happen at Stamford Bridge in London tonight. Who make this happen? Does Atletico is gonna hit them hard?

[cygan]

to make it to the quarterfinals, atletico needs a top performance and at the same time, if chelsea doesn't have the best day, it would be possible for atletico madrid to advance
in the 2nd game bayern vs. lazio the only question is - will R. Lewandowski score again and if so, how often?

[AakZaki]

Well, Atalanta lost over Madrid, so bad for Serie-A. Indeed, in this match Madrid was better than Atalanta both in terms of the team and in terms of game play.

~snip~

I'm happy that Madrid won and reached the quarter-finals. The existence of doubts about the consistency of their players in my opinion makes most people not choose him to advance to the UCL quarter-finals this season. In the second leg I'm happy that Benzema and Ramos are playing, because they have a big influence. Even though I was happy with Modric that night he did well, he was like a young player. Going forward, I hope that players like Hazard and the injured will get well soon and will add strength to Real Madrid. So that the next game they will continue to have good players for the next round. I will continue to support Madrid to win the UCL this season.

I would go with you that Lazio has no chance to go to next stage but I would not exclude that they could win the match tonight. Normally Bayern should win the game but you never know. If they have a bad day, then a defeat is possible.

I think much more exciting is the match Atletico vs Chelsea. I think that Chelsea has the better cards but overall the game is very open. While Chelsea has a good run in the league since Tuchel is coach, Atletico has not performed well in the league lately.

[fullhdpixel]

I am a bit disappointed by Atlanta, expected that they have enough power to at least make Real Madrid sweat a little. As mentioned before experience matter a lot in these games and there are very few teams with more experience than Real, if any.

Atalanta could also be pissed on referee and VAR calls. That red card from first game would have been yellow if it happened for Real and also this penalty yesterday looked a bit off. I am thinking the foul started outside the box and that should have been a free kick.

No matter, Atalanta scored that one goal and I had both to score on my ticket so all good here  

Real Madrid has been around for a very long time, they are one of the very few teams that managed to win 3 times in a row and did it very recently, expecting Atalanta to actually make them sweat was expecting too much from Atalanta as well. This is why I knew that Real would win.

So far 2 of my games hit, I said Real and City would win and gambled on that, I still have Bayern to win and if they do one of my bets will be a win and cover my costs, I also have another that says Chelsea will win as well and let's see if that happens I am going to x4 my bets if that happens, thankfully I wagered combined and a bit more than usual for the three game ones. This is going to be a fun night for me, I am pretty sure that Bayern will win, so at the very least I am breaking even and putting a bit on profit, and at best I am going to win a big amount.

[Jackl87]

The game of Chelsey vs Atletico today has the potential to be very exciting. Of course Chelsea has the advantage going in with a 1-0 lead but i think a 1-0 win by atletico and therefore a overtime is very much possible today.
Bayern vs Lazio is pretty much done. Maybe lazio can win this game today but i highly doubt it because is again in good shape in the last weeks. Nübel is playing today instead of Neuer i am very curious how he performs today.

[coinlocket$]

I think they have no chances to beat Bayern in the first place.
They also need 5 goals to be able to beat them without extra times of 4 goals. It is a very unrealistic otpion.

[ShowOff]

Real Madrid has been around for a very long time, they are one of the very few teams that managed to win 3 times in a row and did it very recently,

I don't argue with it because I know that Real Madrid are the kings of the Champions League by history with 13 wins and they are the only team to have won the UCL 5 years in a row. Records and statistics

I think they have no chances to beat Bayern in the first place.
They also need 5 goals to be able to beat them without extra times of 4 goals. It is a very unrealistic otpion.

It looks like someone is preparing for a free fall from their roof if they really expect Bayern Munchen to lose 5 goals to Lazio today. I'm not sure if there are fanatical fans here. Bayern Munich may still lose, but not more than 2 goals. I just thought that today they will also win because it's about prestige at home.

I still doubt who will qualify for the next stage in today's Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid match. In the league, Chelsea are not favored to stay in the top 4. But Atletico Madrid have more support to win the trophy because they are the 1 of the standings. Atletico Madrid will qualify in my opinion.

[arallmuus]

Well yeah you can pretty much guess from the starting lineup. Bayern Munich will be using their regular starting lineup so this will be pretty much the same as the 1st leg

I was thinking of placing another kind of bet tonight for Bayern Munich Lazio: given the fact that the Italians have no absolute chance of winning the game or even go the next stage, I will place a bet on Lazio to score at least one goal. Risky one but profitable.

Given that Neuer wont be playing in tonight's match, it is a good bet to place on anything sort like that. BTTS would be a good option as well though if you cant find anything like Lazio to score atleast one goal option

So far 2 of my games hit, I said Real and City would win and gambled on that, I still have Bayern to win and if they do one of my bets will be a win and cover my costs,

Thats a bold move to wager on Bayern Munich. I mean Bayern Munich would literally win and the odds for Moneyline was pretty small iirc it yesterday before I made my wager

I had almost similar bet with yours but instead of Bayern Munich, I switched one to Tottenham ML for the Europa League tomorrow

It is absolutely unrealistic for Lazio to win the match against Bayern by having to score 5 goals without being conceded by Bayern. This is a mission
impossible for Lazio to achieve, even though Bayern plays Nubel as a goalkeeper, it's still not easy for Lazio to score goals. Moreover, Robert Lewandowski is
on fire right now, even in the first leg Lewandowski scored a goal. Lazio's chances of winning against Bayern are very small, I predict Lazio will lose again
in this second leg match.

[tyz]

As expected, Bayern and Chelsea lead 1-0 at half-time. I think we won't see any more surprises, even if Atletico could advance with 2 goals. But they have not convinced me so far in the first half. Too ponderous, without many ideas against a Chelsea team that stands very compact and waits for counterattacks. A typical Tuchel tactic.

[ILuckyGuyI]

The match that I wonder how it will end the most is Chelsea-Atletico. Because the first game of the draw surprised me too much and Atletico were like they had nothing to do against Chelsea's much better performance. The goal difference could have been more than 1 easily. They should be thankful for even that result and also they should fight with everything they have in Stamford Bridge. Because their job will be really hard here. We saw that Chelsea played really well against Leeds 2 days ago but there was a big problem on finishing. They really feel the absence of a good striker. They still outweigh Atletico in this game I think. And I also think both teams should score goal(s) easily this time but I feel like Chelsea will manage to eliminate Atletico with a draw or a win with 1-goal difference.

I think that the match is completely open and the chances are equal.
Atletico were very bad in the first meeting and I don’t believe they can play that bad again.
It will be a tough game with very little real football and real chances and probably the first goal will decide the winner.

And we have left the first half behind. Chelsea have got ahead 1-0 with a wonderful counter-attack goal that Ziyech scored and Werner made the assist. Now, Chelsea have a much stronger advantage and Atletico's job is very hard from now on. They have nothing to lose and they should make a much more effort and take bigger risks to have a chance maybe against Chelsea.

Make that 6 goals and current score at half time Bayern lead 1 goal to nil and I thought with the absence of Neuer Lazio will have a different approach to the game but seems Bayern are just that good....hope they go on to win because we might have a new champion this time around.

The game of Chelsey vs Atletico today has the potential to be very exciting. Of course Chelsea has the advantage going in with a 1-0 lead but i think a 1-0 win by atletico and therefore a overtime is very much possible today.

Update Chelsea lead by one goal thanks to a Ziyech  goal from which means if Atletico are to progress they should push for 2 or more goals to either push the game to overtime or win and progress.

[swogerino]

It looks like another calm night and great for all the bettors of the Champions League so far with no surprises until the end of the first half.I also don't predict any surprise in the second half.I was afraid to bet on Chelsea tonight but so far it looks like they are playing great without fear and dominating the game.I hope that Europa League continues the same trend and make us some more money,Arsenal seems like the most sure game of tomorrow.
