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

[Mistafreeze]

Sergio Ramos returns from injury for the 2nd leg against Chelsea. Only El Capitano can save us from oil cheats Manchester City & Fraudiola taking the CL title.

Real Madrid is the most corrupt club in the world they've been paying high fees for players and bribing the champions league plus individual awards to their players even before Mancity and PSG came in to limelight.

Manchester City did a great job yesterday, from losing in the first half to winning the match. It seem Manchester City is going to win the CL. From yesterday's match, I think PSG don't have any hope in winning the Champion League. Because they can't beat Manchester City in the returning match.

Manchester City have not won the Champion league since it was formed. But they are set this season to create a history. Chelsea was the last team in the Premier League to have won the CL which was in the year 2011/2012.

But this is only half, hopefully there will be changes in the second leg later.

Truth is the second leg of the champions league is filled with several excitements and there could be any kind of results because neither Manchester city, Chelsea, PSG nor Real Madrid are assured of a place in the champions league final. PSG has so many to play for likewise toothless Real Madrid. Who do you reckon gets to the final?

[jaberwock]

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 do believe that PSG played as well as they can, they played hard as well, they were tackling hard, they were marking their man very well, they were pressure very well, they were defending even on City defense lines, so they did everything they could. Sometimes there are times when you are just unlucky and there is nothing you can do about it, this is just coincidence and that's about it. This is why there is nothing they could have done, it is just pure unlucky situation and that's it.

City played well too by the way, not like it was an undeserving win for them neither, they were totally fine and I believe it will probably be City that goes up as well, that is still keeping its probability, however PSG wasn't to blame here, City is just a very good team and PSG was just unlucky when you combine these two things together that happens to be the result in the end.

This is true. This round is totally open. Any team is still able to pass.
Just one day inspired by the players of a team, for the result to be possible.
I believe that the second leg will bring games with real football spectacle. The teams will give everything, because they all know that they have real possibilities of reaching the final.

The second leg match is certain that all teams will play all out, because the 4 remaining teams are very ambitious to qualify for the finals.
Indeed, it must be admitted that the most likely to qualify is Manchester City, because they won the away game and it was a very good result.
The most difficult to predict were Real Madrid and Chelsea, because the first leg ended in a draw, this made the second leg even more difficult
to predict. But I still predict that there will be an all england final.

 After PSG conceded the first goal, they immediately began to play nervously, there was more aggression, and this never leads to a good result, and as a result - a red card. I think that PSG has very few chances of reaching the final.

i remember some game, like Bayern Monaco vs Manchester United or
Manchester United vs Juventus FC

one team lead the game all the match, but at end lose the match!

in last games of big competition, nothing is sure.. PSG is not experienced but is strong (for this reason is nervous)

for me have chance to pass this round

Do you have concrete evidence or just speculation? If there are such facts, then you can become famous all over the world by submitting them to the appropriate authorities or at least to the press. You are missing the chance to become famous.

It's great news for Real Madrid then. He is a crucial player for this team and I believe that they felt his absence in the first leg. Chelsea should be really aware of this threat. They should get better at defending the corner kicks in the rematch. Or it's very likely that Ramos can score a header. 

[3meek]

I think Real can win Chelsea without Ramos! Although the news of his return is very great indeed! By the way, the odds on a Real Madrid win is 3.4, which is very interesting! I guess I'll take my chances and make that bet!

Hopefully madrid can win at Stamford Bridge. Especially if Ramos is able to perform, they will be more confident. In leg 1 Varane did not perform optimally because he was alone, leg 2 hopefully their defense will be better. Although I think Real Madrid's chances are few, I believe Real Madrid can win at home Chelsea. Zidane had to dare to attack from the early minutes. They also have to make a goal first to make Chelsea mentally down.

[Karartma1]

Real - Manchester City is gonna be the final IMO.
Real wants to get consolidate the stellar positioning they have as the award competition winning team (no other team is near them with Champions Leauge) while City is ready to become the next top team in Europe for the next 5 years (which is usually the max cycle for a given team).
Man City is my fav at the moment.

Ramos playing in the 2nd leg will boost the confidence of the team and Real Madrid is the favourite to pass to the final game. Dunno why odds are @3.4 while Chelsea @2.1 but for sure bookies are underestimating Real Madrid.. They are waiting for 0-0? It won't happen imo.

[blackened515]

The only way I thinks Real Madrid can beat Chelsea in their next meeting is through Penalty kick. I think Chelsea can't stand Real Madrid in terms of penalty kick. If in their next meeting, they end up playing full time draw, and are given penalty kick, Real Madrid
might wins.

Real Madrid have the most titles in the champion league, they have won it 13 times since 1955 to 2020.  Real Madrid has also won three
Champion League in a row 2016, 2017 and 2018 which was the last time they won the League.

First half will probobly be a closed game because both teams will play with lots of caution to not get an early goal.While second half real madrid should start attacking.Plus with their experience they might go through even if they are down a few players

Yup it better be.  I don’t mind both EPL clubs there tho. 

And if City goes to the final, I’m going to say it again:  We should see Aguero play, esp if it’s vs Real Madrid.  I think they’ll need a pure striker in Aguero up there leading the attack than a false 9 in KDB.

I agree that Man City is in the best position, at this moment, to be the "dominant" team for the next 5 years.

But, I also think that in that period of time, there will be many changes that will occur in European football, which they will meet.

So your prediction in the second leg is another 1-1 draw? I don't know about that. The chances for that scoreline is quite slim.

Real Madrid have the most titles in the champion league, they have won it 13 times since 1955 to 2020.  Real Madrid has also won three
Champion League in a row 2016, 2017 and 2018 which was the last time they won the League.

Well done to them but please explain to me how is this relevant? Do you think Chelsea would care about those previous achievements and chicken out against Real?

[Woodie]

The only way I think Real Madrid can beat Chelsea in their next meeting is through Penalty kick.

Are you saying Real Madrid doesn't have it in them to win the game within the given 90 minutes??

If you ask me I think they do, besides Madrid isn't known for pushing the game all the way to penalties and I hope it doesn't.

I think Chelsea can't stand Real Madrid in terms of penalty kick. If in their next meeting, they end up playing full time draw, and are given penalty kick, Real Madrid
might wins.

If it gets to penalties its a game of chance at this point and the game can be won by anybody, so don't write either teams off.

The games are very close to each other, it is good that we are going to have another one right away so soon. Everyone is still unsure about what is going to happen with the games, let's be honest we have seen 3-0 first games being nothing with 4-0 return games so teams never give up after first game, I understand that and it makes sense.

However we have to realize that Real is a much much better team, does this mean Chelsea can't be in the finals? Obviously not, they will not be backing down neither, and they have a chance to win, every team has a chance to win, that is what makes football fun, however we are talking about the better team winning the first game and then playing again, obviously it is going to be a lot more understandable if Real ended up winning. I believe it is not going to be any different with City game neither, City is a good team and sure PSG is also good and can win, but anyone who beats the opponent on first game has a big advantage.
