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

[Shasha80]

According to my predictions, Manchester City managed to beat PSG and Manchester City deserved to win.

it was already expected that City would win, PSG have good players but that in the champions league they seem to be lost, I speak of Ángel Di María who in 9 games he made in the champion league only scored 1 goal. but the rest of the players like neymar and mbappe had an acceptable performance, but City Is a team that has a great coach and a very strategist, it was clear that City would win that game, but have to be careful in the second round because the PSG can still win in the second round and move to another stage

Talking about Angel Di Maria, his performance has decreased considerably, maybe because he is now 33 years old, So indeed PSG should consider
selling him and being replaced by a younger player. Actually PSG's defeat is not only that PSG players don't show their best performance like when
they beat Liverpool. However, the strategy on Pep's path, especially in the second half, was very effective. Although the results of the first leg were
very good for Manchester City, as you can say, PSG's chances of qualifying for the final are still open. Therefore, for the second leg match,
Manchester City should not underestimate PSG.

Could be all English final - Man City vs Chelsea.

I didn't expect it, but it's still very possible because Chelsea drew.

Yes, nothing impossible. However, possibly had a chance the final without England either, such as Real vs PSG.  . Madrid revenge 2-0 on Stamford bridge and PSG won 3-0 on Etihad. but, don't think too much, that's my imagination on paper, we know that too hard to beat the team at home. It likely for sure, 1 team from England could be on the final.

I think Di Maria played great. He didn't scored goals but still he was making chances. Even Marquinhos goal came from Di Maria's corner. There was another chance which was close but Ederson did good job in handling that. I think Di Maria still at that age is playing good. They can buy a player in that position using them as alternate but I don't think at all that Di Maria was bad yesterday.

Di Maria has a great match and Marquinhos too. He scored two goals in two semi final matches in two consecutive seasons. I am impressed with his performance and he deserves the captain band from Thiago Silva.

De Bruyne scored an amazing goal and I think the goalkeeper of PSG has faults in both two goals. Riyad Marez need to have lucky support to score goal from that free kick but Navas responsed too slowly with the shot.

Manchester City has chance to go next but it is not 100% secure for them. Pep need to stay his mentality stable and won't do stupid, weird things with his squad choice for the second leg. I wish PSG will go next, not Manchester City.

Manchester City have a greater chance than PSG for the second leg and the chance to qualify for the final is very open for City, they managed to win in the first leg and have 2 pretty good away goals, just need a draw and lose 0-1, City can be sure. will head for the final champions for the first time in the club's history.

[slapper]

They can recover the game but it will almost impossible to win with 2 goal advantage in Manchester.
At this point, my prediction for the final will be...

City-Real.

And win for City.

Could be all English final - Man City vs Chelsea.

I don’t like these small clubs that get bought by oil countries & artificially pumped to compete. Who is Man City, little club before 2008?

I wish for Real to reach the final & win.

Calling Man City a small club before 2008 is clearly overkill!
Internally, it has always been a great club, although in Europe it does not have a great history. You can say, that he internally also had many years without winning the championship. It is true. But in England this is common, even for large clubs, competition is high and more than half of the clubs in the first league have the chance to win.

They are truly a small club before 2008 but now they are a force representing the country in the Champion League. For many years, they have been a great team with awesome players. You have to admit the truth that without the money from the owners, they would not be able to buy any good player. There are in fact many benefits since they were bought.

But overall, I doubt the English Final.

[swogerino]

I think the dream of Psg of winning the Champions League is shattered once again.They had the advantage and they couldn't keep it and they lost the game.Now a final between two Premier League teams seems closer than ever.

Man City looked much stronger than PSG... I think that now we know exactly one of the finalists!
I wouldn't want to see an English final, so I expect to see Real Madrid in the final... Chelsea is a good club, but I think Zidane deserves the final fight!

An English team final would not be so interesting. Mainly being one of the finalists Chelsea, with all the merit that it has. I believe Real can still beat Chelsea.

[slaman29]

Wow you just can't rule out KDB. Even if he crosses it can become a goal;) Purely a game of two halves in the end but man I really thought Poch would get his team over the line at half time, didn't watch the game in second half as too late for me, seems I jinx myself even when not watching;)

Me neither, it would be so boring. Remember when the last two met in EPL?

Much stronger than PSG, no, they (Manchester City) are not.

They won and got three points, 2 goals at PSG's home stadium but they are not much stronger than PSG. The match is splitted into two parts: the first half belongs to PSG and the second half belongs to Manchester City. If you watch the match, you will see that PSG missed two great opportunities to expand the gap from 1 - 0 to 2 - 0. What wil happen if PSG score one or two more goals? I believe Manchester City will collapse as they shown in many seasons in Champions League.

Two goals from Manchester City have faults of goalkeeper and defenders of PSG and in my opinion, I don't see any reason to call Man City as a dominating team in that match.

It depends on how you rate this game... PSG looked much weaker than Bayern, they had a lot of problems in defense, but they were able to win and get to the semifinals! Now they also had a lot of problems in defense, and Man City took advantage of that and were able to win the match! That's why they played much better than PSG... This is obvious to me!

In addition, PSG ended early in the game, with a more vigorous entry and ended up surprising City. But after City organized in the second half, they did not give PSG any chance.

In the second half, there were a totally different Manchester City. They literally ruled the game and made a superb comeback. De Bruyne's goal was really interesting that the cross went into the right corner of the goal directly. Mahrez's goal was also nice that Navas couldn't even see the ball. City have a great advantage now and I think they will finish PSG in the second leg.

It wouldn't actually matter for me to see Chelsea or Real Madrid in the final.

PSG should have themselves to blame for not having a clinical finish, you don't miss clear-cut scoring chances at this semi-final stage this is not a group stage match, Neymar has been the major culprit here once you missed your chances your opponent will take advantage of it and punish you, that was what played out yesterday Man City utilized their chances and scored their goals while a red card to GANA compounded PSG problems, however Man City can still redeem their image in the second leg if they up their game its not over yet.

I agree with what you say, but PSG can reserve some surprises!!

it is amazing how much he has done so far and I would not take it for granted

remember, the deeper we go to the championship the more difficult it is to predict the outcome of "fight"

[Luzin]

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.

I guessed PSG would win, but I was wrong. I was surprised to even see the statistics that Man City had superior ball possession. PSG looks changed after conceding 1 goal. They look very tired, or maybe they have fallen mentally. Pep is really a genius he is very good at reading the situation. In the second half City appeared better.

These results make PSG have a small chance of qualifying, the 2nd leg playing in England is very tough. Maybe I think that currently PSG only have a 30% chance of qualifying for the final.

[W Jr.]

When Paris SG took the lead, I thought they were going to win this game. Failing to keep the score and scoring 2 goals in 7 minutes caused them to leave the match with a defeat. Now we can say that Manchester City is in the final.  In the rematch, Paris needs at least 2 goals without scoring themselves. Manchester does not give this advantage.

PSG players came to the match with a very bad philosophy, you could agree with me that after they scored the first goal they try to manage the game, they switched to defend an early  1 goal lead thus giving man city the momentum to press them, man city had the whole game under control, PSG was trying to play on the counter attack which didn't yield any result because the midfield was already taken by mancity. We are having another English Final and nothing is stopping it now.

I would say Manchester City approached the game well after that. They started giving off the ball too easily unlike in first half and that really gave City more possession and they didn't hurried things after that and that paid off well. First goal was a lucky one and second goal was all due to the poor free kick wall but it was really well struck by Mahrez and what a moment Cityzens had yesterday. They have good away goal advantage but you really can't be sure yet untill the last leg.
