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

A tense first half for these two teams, and PSG dominated the game in the first half and already scored a quick goal from Marquinhos' header.
and Man City were not given space to attack, and I hope there will be a change in attacking formation so that Man City produces a draw.
As I said before, PSG are not easy opponents and their star players come down to attack and leave no room for Man City to attack again.

A good first half from PSG as they deserved more than 1 goal but I'm fine with the current score as I have a ticket with Correct Score 1-0 PSG but if City comes in the 2nd half to play like they did in the 1st one, I'm afraid that PSG will score again.

Another factor for less goals is again the rain who just intensified and this will make the game less attractive ...

[tokeweed]

PSG is playing really well, they deserve their lead at half time. If they continue playing like this, City will have to improve drastically if they want to score.

Guardiola surprised me with the lineup today, I know they are playing without strikers most of the season but I think it is a mistake to play De Bruyne upfront, away from the game. He's one of the best when playing with his body towards the goal and is really struggling tonight.

^  PSG is owning them everywhere!  And from the looks of it, Poch is taking something from Klopp’s playbook...  Blocking passing lanes and making it hard for City to start the play from the back as they always do.

Time to unleash El Kun!!!

Yes, PSG really dominated the first half with a great performance. Paredes was nearly scoring their second goal with a header also but City were lucky about it. City should gather themselves up immediately. They have very special players who can help their team make a comeback so they should benefit from them.

Great game so far! Before the second half will start I am going to place a bet for a correct score 1-1! I think Manchester City will score the next goal and draw at the end.
Like yesterday, with Real Chelsea, Champions League demonstrates show how fascinating this competition really is.

[Jackl87]

Really interesting game so far and i am impressed how good Paris is performing today. They dominated ManCity in the first half which i didn't expect. Their goal was after a corner but hey that counts also as a goal. ManCity had only 1 real big chance but foden should have scored there. I mean he could place a shot from around 12 meters or so without ony PSG-player being close to him and he shot the ball directly at the psg keeper which therefore had no problem to make the save. It will be interesting to see, if ManCity can take control over the game now in the second half as they really need a goal to not give PSG a big advantage in the second leg.

City is threatening and trying to score to secure a draw at least. You have the impression that they are close to do it but Mbappe made a good pass that was almost a goal for PSG.
An interesting game and everything can happen. Aww If De Bruyne scored it would be a nice goal

Edit: Gooalll, wow nice goal by De Bruyne! Navas was puzzled, didn't understand anything

[ShowOff]

Manchester City performed better in this second half, right?
I hope Manchester City won't lose today even though it looks like they struggle to score goals. Now De Bruyne has scored the goals hoped for. 1-1 at now and i hope Manchester City managed to do it again with the remaining minute.

[Cnut237]

Yesterday the English team drew 1-1 and scored an away goal.
Today, 70ish minutes in, the English team is at 1-1 and has scored an away goal...

The way it's shaping up, they can both sit back at home and play for a 0-0, to get an all English final... but that's a huge risk of course, against teams like Real and PSG.

Scratch that, Mahrez has got a second. PSG in trouble now!

[coinlocket$]

2 random goals for Manchester City and now they are leading 2-1.

This is an away game for them and if it will end like this they will have already a foot in the final.

[Soonandwaite]

what a goalkeeper from PSG. he really fits in well with schalke 04 . the shot was really to be held. with this much luck, City will easily make it to the final  
paris plays some really good football. and Man City is scoring the goals. strange game tonight
edit: and now another red card against paris. not a good night for PSG

I am speechless with Mehrez free kick! Poor Navas can't do anything for the second time while waiting for De Bruyne to kick it
Meanwhile, City is trying its best to score again. Pochettino didn't make yet any substitution, Neymar not very impressive. Nice match to watch tonight.

Edit: well deserved red card for PSG player against Gundogan, hope he is OK although I doubt he can continue this match. 10 players now for PSG and Di Maria was substituted..

^  Wtf.  Luck?  That was a screamer by Mahrez.  Did you see the ball get past the wall?  It was brilliant!

Edit:  Wow that red card..  He could end somebody’s football career doing that.  PSG is breaking down.  They crumbled right after Mahrez’s goal.  

[ShowOff]

Losing 1 player due to a red card due to violent violation will make PSG even more problematic. Manchester City must take advantage of PSG's current situation and I hope they manage to hold on to this win. Is 1-3 reasonable to expect?

[hahay]

With the productivity of the attacks from both teams, of course, both teams have an equally good chance of scoring goals in this match. I personally still believe City will win in this first leg, or maybe it will be a draw like last night's match. Well, no one knows for sure because this is just a prediction but with a coach like Pep who has been leading the team for a long time than Pochettino who just joined, I prefer City to win.

I am expecting a great match tonight. City will probably have a lot of the ball possession but PSG likes to play counter attacking football and will probably manage to catch the citizens out of position quite often. My bet is on both to score, I was actually quite surprised with odds above 1.6, I was expecting 1.5 or lower so high stake bet for me.

Great, I personally bet on two options on two different sites and the results so far are still under control. But by the way, after seeing the match in the first half I was personally a bit pessimistic, but now even Pep and City are proving they are very ready for this match because PSG themselves have a lot of pressure I'm sure. So yes, the win for City is basically on paper but because the opponent is PSG who looks just as good, the game is still tough.

[Woodie]

PSGPgs better singular players.
Manchester City better as a team.

Could not have said it any better!

This is the reason they will find it hard to win against teams of their class.

PSG needs to learn to play as a team if they still dream of scooping the champions league trophy.

2-2 prediciton

Prediction isn't far off the correct score!
Currently City leading 2-1

Out of respect 1-3 is over kill, 1-2 is playing with respect for the other team.

Fantastic play for Manchester City and a wonderful come back. England is really upto something in this season of the UCL. We might just as well be preparing for a finals that would be featuring two England teams, Manchester City vs Chelsea.
Wow! Reasons why you should not under estimate Pep Guardiola. Hos being there and knows the game. The worst of tonights game is that, I.G Guess has got a red card and with Manchester City being an attacking side, coming out to play at this die minute isn't much of an option because, PSG can be caught in a counter attack and the goals would just pile up. Away goal for that matter which is a disadvantage.  They've lost this one, there best chance right now would be at the second leg.

Conceding two goal at home to be a excruciating blow for PSG. Plus they had to play with 10 players in the 78th minute, The red card that Idrissa gets will further make the city dominate the match. If the city is able to maintain the score until the end of the match, it will be even more difficult for PSG to pursue a goal deficit when they are away at City home and it is certain that the city will go to the final round.

Good game! In the second half, City started to make a lot of sense about PSG and they ended up not being able to take it.
In fact, PSG completely lost control of the situation, eventually seeing a player sent off.

City now have all the advantage in the knockout stage. It will be necessary for PSG to score at least 2 goals, without conceding any, at City's home to reach the final.
I think that will be difficult. Because, if City starts to load, it will leave PSG very little chance.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think city has become ripe enough to win the UEFA champions league title, and PSG to be is the toughest opponent they can face remaining in the competition, pep hasn't reached a final of the UEFA champions league since he left Barcelona with which he won it last, I think they are on their way to a historic moment,

PSG could also be proud of their achievement in the champions league in the last competition on this, although they aren't out of it yet, I think they are making a name for themselves in Europe.
