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

[joker_josue]

I really wonder whether PSG will manage to outplay Manchester City this time. It will be quite hard for them to do it certainly. City play really strong in their home matches in the end. And City would like to have the most ball possession too. Hence, PSG need to play really smart to be able to eliminate City. They did it to Bayern and can do against City as well.

I really don’t think PSG will try to outplay Man City, neither do I expect them to be successful even if they do, PSG best weapon against Man City will be to press very high and afford Man City no space to dictate the play, If that should happen then PSG might stand a good chance.

I doubt that they will be able to do that. Man City will not be surprised again, as in the first leg.
PSG had to change its strategy for the game a lot, to really be able to surprise. I don't think they are capable.

But in football everything is possible.

Another game for Man City VS PSG, PSG was really aggressive in the first game but the defense of Man City was really remarkable want do you think guys do Man City will win again or PSG will make a comeback, I really thought that PSG will win this base on some speculation PSG can cater a remarkable win but Man City had shown to PSG that they are a team that PSG should not underestimate,

I really like Man City to win but PSG is a formidable team and I think that Man City is lucky enough in pulling a win against them but we can not say for sure the ball is round any team can win this we can really never know until we see it.

Yes, I wonder if PSG can pull a win now that the playing field is in the City of Manchester Stadium and Man City back then was playing in PSG turf on Parc Des Princes and Man City is pretty lucky winning a game, in my opinion, I really thought that PSG would surely win against Man City because PSG was really on an aggressive movement while I am watching their first score, and I never thought that the table will turn,

But kudos for PSG if they can pull a win on Man City's turf, I am pretty sure there will be a home advantage but it is not that big right now because there are no crowds that may be cheering right now, and if you would look at their last game Man City's stats were high that includes their Pass Accuracy and Possession and right now if you would look at stake.com the odd is in favor for Man City

Logically, it cannot be concluded, that just because Man City won in the first leg, they will have an easy game in the second leg.
PSG will do everything to try to win the match. If you manage to score a goal early, and don't slow down, you have a lot of chances to surprise.

Personally, I think Man City will pass, but he won't have an easy life.

Yes,,, this is the conclusion of most sane people including you and me;) Both teams will fight, both have everything to win both want to taste the glory of Champions League for the first time.

I think they will throw everything they have in this one. But my bet is on PSG!

Pressing without space for Man City is something PSG has to do because losing the first leg will be hard work to meet in the second leg.
But Man City is not an easy opponent because the front and back are all playing very well, and City will know that PSG will definitely be more dominant in attack and City will prepare a very strong defense.
It will be a tense match and there will be a lot of fouls going on.

We couldn't determine anything yet, both have quality players and ready to do every possible attempts to win the second leg of Champions League journey. I am very optimistic of their outcome and I look forward to watch. PSG truly deserve the Champions League title but they have to prove.

In my opinion, the only way PSG can still make it to the next round is by outplaying ManCity. ManCity has a pretty solid defense. They showed that not only in the first leg against PSG, but throughout the season. It's not easy to score goals against this team. Therefore, the entire tactic must be aimed at that. Against Bayern, PSG's tactics just worked, but against ManCity, it didn't.

I like final Real Madrid with Manchester City but still waiting this week on second leg can Madrid win from Chelsea or draw but above two goals.  I think madrid have confirmed Sergio Ramos have back to the field and Mendy keep going to be composition player for Real Madrid, looks very fantastic for Madrid get back UEFA champion league trophy.

[SquallLeonhart]

Let's be honest City is a great team, one of the best I have seen and they are playing marvelous, specially this season, they had like what 30+ game winning streak in all cups and leagues they played total? I mean that is incredible. However to give PSG a 4.6 odd is just screaming "bet me" to me.

I checked "that" place and now it looks 4.41 which is still a lot, and City is at 1.59 right now, both of them are more down, that is weird because if one place gets higher chance to win, the other should have lower chance to win, whereas in this place both places dropped which means both have a higher chance to win and I do not know how that could be possible. In any case, I do not know if PSG will win or not, they may end up losing, but 4.41 odds or anything 4+ is basically free bet really, you may lose, but betting PSG to win a game for a 4x return is always welcomed.

It will be quite difficult for Real Madrid to get past Chelsea. Real Madrid looks pretty tired against the backdrop of Chelsea. Real Madrid needs a goal on a foreign field, but I think that Chelsea will also look for luck at the wrong goal. I lean more towards the English final and the victory of Manchester City.

As long as the 0-0 draw for Real Madrid doesn't go downhill because it will be eliminated so we still have to need a goal away from home with Chelsea, meanwhile, we know what Chelsea's background is currently quite good and at Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos is back again meaning this. enough to strengthen the defense of each.
But both of them still have a chance so don't let this mistake make it fatal and result in a deep defeat therefore Real Madrid and Chelsea will continue to have ambitions to win each other.

Real Madrid is in a complicated situation, the problem of injury is indeed a headache for Real Madrid while on other hand, they are still competing in the race for the La Liga title.

The second leg will be held at Stamford Bridge, of course, this is a plus point for Chelsea. The 0-0 draw was enough for Chelsea to qualify for the final so that Real Madrid had to fight hard with the ragged condition of the team. The ball is round, so anything can still happen  .

Nothing can ever be determined in football, but we can hope that both teams will give it their all,,, so I am making bets not just on PSG winning but perhaps other types of bets of value would be BTTS, or over goals, over cards, and over corners. I feel like they feel each that this is the real final because not to overlook Chelsea or Real but neither is as strong as they should be.

I Agree Real Madrid is in a pinch right now and they sure all of their firepower to compete now because the home team have great form and regardless of Real Madrid's issue with injuries, but I am not saying that Chelsea can win we could see also see a scoreless draw or 1-1 draw just like in their previous game,

Right now it is a plus point for Chelsea being the event is on Stamford Bridge but I think that this is not enough and they would need to play aggressively and unexpectedly for Real Madrid to be shaken off, but they still need to play defensively just for assurance.

Zidane managed to rest some key players in the last game of the Spanish championship and some players have recovered from injuries so Real will be fully prepared for this game.
I would not underestimate Real and their great experience in such important matches, as well as their individual quality that can decide the match.
Also Manchester City has not finished the job with Paris SG yet and I think that everything is open in that match as well, regardless of the result from the first match.
Two very uncertain and exciting matches await us  

[cryptofrka]

I consider Real favorites as well. Chelsea was better in the 1st game, they have a great result and are playing at home. But in games like these, it often comes down to experience.

This Madrid team won a lot of tough games like these and knows how to grind for a result, Chelsea is a newly assembled squad that really plays well but still did not have to answer to any mental challenges so far. I'm looking forward to the game and I'm curious to see how Tuchel will set them up considering they are the favorites on paper now.

Yep, its true. But I hope there is a miracle for Madrid. Ramos is back, Hazard is back. Even though the opportunity is very small, I hope Hazard is able to make a difference, he understands about Chelsea. Even though I was a little afraid, this was a game of life and death for Madrid, Zidane had to appear attacking from the start, he had to score a goal first to destroy Chelsea.

Considering the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match, Chelsea seemed better in the first game. If Real Madrid plays like they did in the first game, I think Chelsea will win and pass the round. I think they play a match against Manchester City in the final.

The striking difference between Chelsea and Real Madrid is in concentration. Currently, Real Madrid is still struggling with the title race for La Liga, and of course, this situation makes Real Madrid have to share power in both competitions and it requires extra attention.

While Chelsea has not bothered with the EPL title race again so they should be able to fully concentrate on the Champions League match and they can really play with their best composition.

You are right. Real Madrid is not likely to sacrifice the league. Championship chances still continue. They are still a very hot season with Atletico and Barça. They can be the first or the third. That's why Real Madrid must show full concentration in both lanes. 

Chelsea, on the other hand, is more fortunate than Real. It can come out with full concentration.

[vennali]

Chelsea again sneakily have an outside chance of recreating what they remarkably did in 2012. They are again, least expected team to win the title and there is a good possibility that it could be an all english finals by the looks of things. They do not have Didier Drogba to perform miracles though.  Cant wait for the 2nd leg of the semifinals.
