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

[mrongoz_imut]

I expect a very even game today. I believe that both teams will be playing very carefully in defense in the first place. Both Real and Chelsea have conceded very few goals in their recent games, so I bet under 2.5 goals.

Both team will play carefully and not brave with open play game, they will keep defender and defensive playing because first leg is most important for two team keep clean sheet, how ever on second leg become easy. But looking last match on champion leg for second leg Madrid exactly could make three goal for Liverpool, it mean you have worry with your odd under 2.5.

I noticed that in the last four matches with the participation of Real Madrid, home teams did not score goals. Also of the last four matches, Real Madrid have finished three with a score of 0:0, an extremely headless game, but not characteristic of this club. I suppose that today we will see a goal from Real Madrid.

This game between Real and Chelsea will be a highly tactical battle than quality, both secure game at their side. Can't wait some people are saying Chelsea had an easy run. However, Real Madrid is another level and their focus is on UCL title, but Chelsea should be confident.

No guys , it won't be a draw as this will mean Chelsea will be out for sure and I do have Chelsea to qualify into the final because if Real reaches the final again , they will win it because they have the experienced players who can win a final of UCL so I do hope that Chelsea will score in both halves and take the win. Also , don't forget that Real had 4 games in 8 days and they scored only with Cadiz so this  brings me to the next question

Is Real Madrid fuel almost empty ? They kinda need a break as Zidane didn't manage the important players because they're still fighting for LaLiga.

I don't think that the real players will be tired today. Real has probably the most experienced team in europe in terms of managing your energy for important games. That is probably the reason why Real didn't play that well in the last games because they had there focus already on the game against chelsea. I think this match is completely open and it really is 50/50 which of those two teams will advance into the final. No matter who advances will probably be the slight underdog in the final though as the others semi final is the "stronger" one in my opinion.

Agreed Real Madrid will be coming to manage the game trying to play carefully to not allow Chelsea score , on the other hand Chelsea will be pushing out most likely trying to get an away goal. Chelsea will be a threat and may likely get a win or an important away goal.

Real Madrid not doing well or scoring goals in there last 4 mat hes doesn't really mean there fuel is empty to me. It could be a deliberate attempt to play safe in order to avoid injury in preparations for the game ahaed that is, the UCL.  We all know how important that game is, no room for mistakes.

I fan both teams for sure and to that fact and the fact that, I'm expecting an interesting final, I don't know which team I would like to win this game. My only hope is that the better team wins in order for us to have an interesting final, not some basketball kind of final where one team would be bagging all the goals and make a final look like a beat down.

Chelsea is not a weaker team, neither is Real Madrid. The both teams have been playing well in their leagues. Although the both teams have meet in three past matches, two was in Champion League finals, but Chelsea won those two times. In tomorrow match, I don't think Real Madrid will be able to beat Chelsea.

Chelsea is a team strong enough. They have the ability to beat a team like Real Madrid. The defense of both teams is strong enough. Now the striker of the team who can perform well will win. However, I don't think we can see more than 3 arrow goals in this match. It is very difficult to say which team wins in this match.

Real Madrid are not running out of fuel, it's just to prepare for this much-awaited CL for its championship, maybe in LaLiga there are still 5 games left to reach the top but on the other hand also in CL they expect big so Zidane knows where who deserve more priority while currently in LaLiga the points are the same as Barcelona and this is a big challenge that both of them have to go through.

I also hope that Real Madrid will advance to the final hoping to meet PSG or Mancity, now if both of these competitions can be passed then Zidane is able to get through with extraordinary things, it's just that maybe the current obstacle Sergio Ramos has to miss due to injury and corona according to the news.

Real madrid seems to be more concentrated on the champions league. Even if there is a chance to pass this tour, a very strong opponent such as psg or city will face him in the final. I'm doing 2.5 sub bets for this game. In the last game of la liga, they got 1 point against real madrid-real betis. As I said, the zidane team is completely preparing for the champions league and wants the cup.

True there have been both teams seei and inconsistency recently, winning impprtant matches but gifting points when they were tge favorites.
It’s going to be a tight clash with few goals scored, haven’t seen more than a goal in Chelsea’s last four games, while Real Madrid drew 0:0 in three out of the previous four fixtures. so it's more likely to see to Under 2.5 goals , but I feel that Real Madrid will have enough strength to win this match.

Real Madrid's play depends entirely on the form of three players - Cross, Modric and Casemiro. If these guys play a great game, Real Madrid will make it to the final. Otherwise, the chances are very slim. Chelsea will most likely play counter-attacks and play carefully on the defensive. Real Madrid always has problems with such teams, so I would not be so sure of a victory for Real Madrid. It will be a rather difficult game for both teams. Moreover, Zidane has never won against Tuchel.

I have a feeling like Real Madrid will win 2-1 or it will end 1-1. And I expect Real Madrid and Chelsea both to score for sure. If Real Madrid could make use of their advantage of playing home, I haven't any doubt that they will be victorious in the end. It could be a 1-goal or 2-goal difference victory.

^  That midfield screen tho.  Modric - Casemiro - Kroos.  And this is Real Madrid!  I know I said that Chelsea has the squad to win the CL but dunno..  Against Real in the semis?  It’s a tough one.  I’m now thinking Real can win the whole thing.  Zidane is clever as a fox.

Edit:  I fear for City.  With the way PSG won vs Bayern by playing pragmatically, I think they could shock City.  I know Pep almost never adapts and always plays his squads in only one way:  Possession football.  Poch has faced Pep before and won.

I’m hoping to see Real & PSG make the final, I’m not going to explain why but I’m sure you can guess

Let me guess: As a Liverpool fan you don't like ManCity and Chelsea much?

Regardless of your preference, I would even bet on an English final. Chelsea has been very stable since Tuchel became coach and has a good chance of advancing if they score goals. PSG was very lucky against Bayern, so they didn't convince me. ManCity convinced me more.

It seems obvious to me that Real’s level of games and results have been falling in the last few weeks, their main players are injured or tired and Chelsea have a chance to take advantage of Real’s problems and win.
On the other hand, PSG currently has two outstanding players in their team, Neymar and Mbappe, and with such players they can beat any team in the world.
I'm not sure if Manchester City will finally be able to make that desired step in the Champions League, as if there is always something missing for success, I don't know.
I bet on PSG and Chelsea.

Rofl ok...  From the looks of it Real doesn’t have a midfield screen like I thought or I would’ve liked to think.  Chelsea could more likely get one away goal.

Ugh my stream sucks.  It was buffering as I was typing.  When it came back on it’s 0 - 1 Chelsea.

[Harkorede]

They could've gotten more within just the first 12 minutes, but they've got one on the score board already and it's been all Chelsea since the game started.

I hope going one goal behind changes the approach of the game by Real Madrid.

[acquafredda]

Watching live Real Chelsea and Christian Pulisic just scored a goal for the londoners. Real looks a bit dazzled and confused already since the beginning, after Chelsea's goal it looks even worse.
If Chelsea will take this win home I will admit Tuchel's some sort of sorcerer!
