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

[Jackl87]

Beautiful game yesterday between what I consider the best teams in Champions League actually,Bayern and Paris.The game should have ended like 10-3 for Bayern with all the occassions they had but the goalkeeper of Paris was the hero of yesterday night.Paris with the counter attacks and Mbappe which looks unstoppable won the game yesterday.Now they have made a huge step toward further qualification.

Yesterdays game was really the best one so far in the champions league this season. 10-3 for bayern sounds a little over the top but bayern could have easily scored 4 or 5 goals and they were the dominant team. Of course goal scoring is also a important part of football and yesterday paris was the way more effective team in that regard so of course they also deserved the win even though bayern had way more chances and control over the game.
Now for me paris is the slight favorite but if bayern plays like yesterday in the second leg than everything is still possible for them they just need to be more effective with their chances. I would say its 70/30 now for PSG.

It is true that Chelsea won. But, he didn't have a good game.
FC Porto was almost always on top of the game, with Chelsea being more effective in just 3 or 4 shots.

This is champions league when you are playing away you don't contest possession, you only sit and take advantage of the home team when it matters, the aim is always to score an away goal and if you found yourself winning in the process you play deep, that was what Chelsea and PSG played last night they both allowed their host to take possession while they sit and wait. the home team will always comes out to get to you

There was also an unmarked penalty in favor of FC Porto.

When you are frustrated you look for another means to get into the game and that was what the Porto striker was doing all through, the ref knew this, that was why his coach decided to take him off, he was just diving in the box crying like a baby.

I believe that after this defeat, it will be difficult for FC Porto to overcome the elimination. But if you play like today, you may still have a chance.

It's Game over

What a football match we witness, Bayern actually missed the influential lewandoski like I predicted earlier Sane put in many crosses that lewandoski would've definitely been at the end of it but it went begging most of the time. I think even without scoring neymar was by far the best player on the pitch him and kimmich they were so excellent for their respective side. Thomas Muller form this season means Joachim low who was present there himself a headache because his performance last night means he deserved to be recall to the national team. neymar sumptuous pass to marquinhos for the second goal of the night reminded of the pass Toni kroos gave to Vinicius for madrid goal against Liverpool. I see chelsea and Madrid in the semi final already and then the remaining games anything can still happen.

Chelsea have managed to step up to beat Porto, in the 2nd leg, Chelsea will certainly play better. In this match, Mendy became the hero of Nagi Chelsea in this match. he saved the goal from various opportunities created by Porto.

From the start I was sure that Chelsea would win. They are stronger. Chelsea players are better than Porto. Chelsea ruled the match even though they played at porto, they won possession. Mason Mount brilliant appearance became the right alternative to Chelsea's attack line. Regarding porto, they look different unlike against Juve. I think this is due to the absence of Sergio Olivera and Mehdi Taremi.

[Balmain]

It was a clean win for Chelsea, a expected win. With this victory, they can go to the semi-finals comfortably.

The PSG-Bayern match was a fast-paced and highly competitive match.Mbappe carried team again and found 2 goals.

Anyway, Chelsea are doing well with Tuchel so the win against Porto is certain and there is no doubt, if you are still referring to the previous match where Porto beat Juventus, I think that would be an inaccurate judgment. Juventus and Chelsea at this moment are very different so yes, even I am sure that Chelsea can continue all the way to the final with Tuchel it looks like this achievement will definitely happen, it's interesting to look forward to.

This advantage is too high and it will take Bayern Munich team hard work to get qualified in their next match. Chelsea two away goals got them more chance to beat Porto at Stanford bridge, as for PSG, I don't trust them enough, over the previous champions league season, Barcelona and Manchester United defeated PSG after a huge loss at first leg, I just hope you can remember what happened, PSG aren't consistent in their winning, and so if Bayern can put more effort, they can equally do the same thing Barca and ManU did to PSG some season back., can't recall the score outcomes but you can google out that.

Both of them still have a big chance if they defend, including those who won in the quarter-finals, but this possibility can be reversed where the opponents who have lost can win in the second leg but with the points that have been earned it is enough initial capital for the winning team.
Yeah, it looks like Chelsea has a pretty big chance after winning by 0-2, I believe this is through to the semifinals and PSG are still on the verge of shaking if not consistent, we'll see later I believe Munich can reverse with an absolute victory.

Yeah, Chelsea's victory was not surprising. Maybe Porto eliminated Juventus but it doesn't mean that they could have done the same thing to Chelsea too. Nothing is certain yet but Chelsea will most probably win the second game too and advance to the semi final.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I think so too. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, and PSG Will play in the semi-finals. Real Madrid won 3-1. They don’t have to bother too much to get to the next round. If luck is not so bad, they will easily reach the semi-finals. Despite Manchester's 2-1 win over Dortmund, I think Manchester will win the next match as well. They are stable enough than Dortmund.

Dortmund rely too much on Haaland and Sancho in this season has average form, not excellent like in the past season. Dortmund will need the best Haaland and goals from him to win Manchester City. Manchester City on their side, don't convince me that they can easily beat Dortmund.

If a team becomes more dependent on a particular player then the overall performance of the team is not good. All the players of the team have to perform well from their place. I would be happy if the next match is competitive

Predictions:
In my opinion and I hope that the semi-final round will be reserved for: Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG and Chelsea. I hope to see the final match between Real Madrid and PSG.

PSG beat Bayern Munich 3-1. We saw PSG's strategy against Barcelona in the previous round, they played completely defensively in the 2nd leg after winning by a huge margin against Barcelona in the 1st leg. Will they do the same in this round. On the other hand, Chelsea won 2-0. In the next match, they will play fully defensive and draw the match.

You got one result wrong. paris won 3-2 against munich, not 3-1.I therefore think that munich still has a great chance of reaching the next round.
in this corona period, surprising results are always possible. on april 13 and 14, we will all know which 4 teams are through to the next round.

I'm sorry. I knew the result. It was a typing mistake. But I don't think Bayern Munich will be able to reach the semi-finals. PSG will play fully defensive football in 2nd leg. And PSG’s squad is strong enough. I don't think Bayern Munich will be able to score 3 goals against PSG if they play defensively.

[skarais]

On this post, I guess Neymar and Mbappe will be very dangerous actors for Bayern Munchen and that is true they are doing very well. Neymar made two passes in the first 30 minute and Mbappe also managed to score 2 goals and one of the goals was the winning goal. It was a great day for the fans and everyone at PSG. Although there is a possibility that Bayern will excel in the second leg, I think Bayern have a task that will not be easy at PSG's home and a draw will see PSG through.

[DeathAngel]

Semi finals looking likely to be the following:

PSG vs Man City
Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Possible PSG vs Real Madrid final with PSG winning their first CL? Will be good to see what happens.

I wouldn't really agree with you.
This was in any case one of the best matches in the Champions League ever, and in impossible weather conditions, but the final result should have been, in my opinion, 3:3 or 4:4 and by no means 10:3 for Bayern.
Mbappe was simply unstoppable and I think he showed that he is currently the best player in the world.
Everything is still open here, and Bayern also still have a chance to advance to the semi-finals, but it will be very difficult for them in Paris.

Bayern Munich played way better than PSG total domination of field but lost the game 2-3 at home anyway. There's still second leg, I hope they are going through next game. Nothing is decided yet, may Bayern will come back strongly.
Mbappe is a best. The main credit goes to Navas. He is getting better and better day by day.

[boltz]

Most don't even know anything about these teams since people mainly only know the big four leagues.  Celtic and Rangers are an exception because they are very famous for always winning the Scottish League.

Famous yes. Good enough to win in Europa League ? I doubt it. I mean Celtics some years ago could have been a team who fought side by side with big teams but when it comes to Rangers, they are not good in Europa League or UCL and they still have a long road of hard training to get there.

Last night Porto was robbed in my opinion of 2 penalties and I think the referee should be suspended for next games. Regarding PSG - Bayern , I think I already know how is going to play in the finals : PSG - REAL MADRID with PSG winner.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Yesterday's UCL game was quite interesting and it revealed a lot about both teams. Where we saw a Bayern Munich creating a lot of chances both not having the required finishing as Lewandoski was absent. Bayern dominated most part of the game having over 14 shots and 7 was on target but were able to convert only 2 into goals mean while, PDG on the other hand had only 5 shots of which, 4 was on target and they were able to convert 3 into goals. That's what we call efficiency on the side of PSG. PSG didn't come to dominate but to win the game and they did.
Its high time they focus more on Kylan Mbappe as the star player and keep Neymar Jnr aside. K. Mbappe has always been productive towards the team and has his effects in important games. Neymar too did well yesterday, creating the needed assist that lead to the goals. The PSG team was commendable yesterday but then this means, the PSG team should watch out for an angry Bayern Munich in the returning leg.

Semi finals looking likely to be the following:

PSG vs Man City
Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Possible PSG vs Real Madrid final with PSG winning their first CL? Will be good to see what happens.

However the final result will determine, I want to know how Chelsea under the hands of Tuchel, who will bring the UEFA title, might be like Roberto Matthew who successfully brought Chelsea champions? maybe it will be repeated with Tuchel this season? If you know that your opponent is more difficult, what do you imagine?

I want to see in the final is PSG vs Chelsea but it is possible how the coach will meet his club who has had a long career at PSG.

I hope that the final will come true.

From the start I was sure that Chelsea would win. They are stronger. Chelsea players are better than Porto. Chelsea ruled the match even though they played at porto, they won possession. Mason Mount brilliant appearance became the right alternative to Chelsea's attack line. Regarding porto, they look different unlike against Juve. I think this is due to the absence of Sergio Olivera and Mehdi Taremi.

I think so,  that the absence of 2 important players from Porto slightly affect Porto's strength and Chelsea players give opportunity from this to maximized their play. In the 2nd leg, Porto had to win 3-0 to qualify for the next round, with the composition of current Chelsea players that getting better, I think it will be difficult for them to reach that score. Which means, Chelse has the most chance of becoming the EPL representative in the Semifinals among with City and may be able to face PSG in the Final, if it happens, it will be very interesting, especially if Chelsea win, this will be a big shock therapy for PSG.

Liverpool, no hope.. i think🤦

[slaman29]

Yep. I think I am with Swordsoffreedom. The semifinalists look like it's decided EXCEPT PSG/Bayern.

Liverpool may win but not 2-0 or 3-0. Real will score away goals.

Porto cannot win the most they can expect is a draw.

City will hammer Dortmund as Haaland can't get past superior teams.

Just up to Bayern if they can win 2 or more.

Amazing games yesterday, don't you think?
Chelsea showed an absolute supremacy over Porto and the semifinal is only 90' away, I don't see Porto posing a threat to them.
PSG and Mbappé keep on surprising me, even Bayern had to face the fact that PSG is a huge candidate for the title. Next game between the two teams' gonna be epic!

Never underestimate Bayern. Those guys can destroy any team and are able to score 8 goals if they were determined. In the first leg, they were lacking especially Lewandowski and with him, the game would be very different. PSG also is a respectable team and seemed determined to win CL this season, they have to score in their next game to nullify Bayern chance to pass.
Chelsea vs Real Madrid, yeah I agree.

I don't think it's that simple for FC Porto, although I believe they are capable of winning. Or at least take the elimination to the length / penalty.
