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

[DIA7]

Chelsea in qualification was well deserved
It is going to be a pure English final.
Tuchel prepared a team that simply had 11 players, each one of whom "Man of the match" The intensity, rebound, toughness and self-belief brushed the way to the Blues towards a deserved final after only one loss throughout the tournament was ineffective Originally .
Zidane thought a lot about winning the battle of the middle at the expense of his offensive ideas, so he lost this and that . in addition to his unprepared and optional, useless choices .

The Blues dominated and should arguably have won by more, with Werner's first-half header and Mount's late tap-in setting up an all-Premier League final. I don’t think Zidane would want to blame his side losing on injuries. Old and slow players are not of much help in front of fast and young ones. Chelsea presses was one of the intense, didn't allow Kroos, Modric to operate at all. Although some Real Madrid players were playing out of positions. But no excuses, Chelsea deserved to win. Tuchel outclasses Zidane here.

The key of Chelsea winning was their midfield the duality of Kante and Giorgio it felt as if they were 6 players in front of the Real Madrid midfield trio, who almost did not attend even though it is his team's great strength in such matches.
Kante was a lot of effort, extraordinary performance, increased numbers, and terrible speed in transformations, and Jorginho was behind him in coverage and positioning, accompanied by the five-line back, an excellent defensive system on the part of Thomas Tuchel, the coach who outperformed Zidane, in the home and away matches, he studied Real Madrid played well and played on their weak point, and he deserved to win at home, but he did not do it, to achieve the most important thing by surpassing London, and going to the final.

Stats don't give a clear view of the game sometimes.

I know it very well. It is just one of the viewpoints of the match. The result of the match is surely not determined by the stats. Winning the match depends on how effective the players in playing. Take the ball possession more than 75% even can get nothing on the match, Barcelona is the clear example of it. In addition, sometimes the luck factor also plays a role in the match.

Where is Hazard?

Too bad performance by Hazard.
It is not the first time that Hazard has no contribution to the match.
Hazard is out of people's expectations on Real Madrid this season. In the past, people expect he can replace CR7 role in Real Madrid.

Hazard is still light years away from the player he was at Stamford Bridge. Injuries have taken their toll on him, undoubtedly, but he demonstrated against Chelsea that he is not ready for such demanding games after he failed to make his mark on the pitch. In his second campaign at Los Blancos he has contributed close to nothing. Real Madrid are willing to wait for him to rediscover his form. The Belgian forward owes them at least one good season.

[Marykeller]

Lest you forget, Chelsea is the first team ever to have a men's and women's team make the Champions League final in the same season.
Congrats to the Chelsea football club. Is not easy for them to come strongly to defeat Real Madrid 2-0 after all the hypes about Madrid from fans.
This year's UEFA Champions League is full of surprises. Two English teams for the finals

[AndySt]

Chelsea have gone so far in the Champion League, I never thought they will play in the final. But it seem Chelsea is set in winning the Champion League after 9 years which they won it last.
The match against Real Madrid was awesome, Chelsea won in both halves. Werner goal the first goal in the first half while the second goal was scored by Mount 85 minutes into the game. Although the game was a bit tough, with 7 yellow card and no red card. Manchester City will be playing against Chelsea in the Champion League final. I can't literally predict who will win the Champion League because both teams are strong and won't want to lose, but surely a winner will be produced.

Real Madrid did not show anything outstanding in the second half, when it was necessary to score at least one goal. Chelsea missed a lot of chances and at times it even seemed that the old football rule would work, that if you don't score, then you score, but it was clear that the players of Real Madrid did not have enough physical strength to arrange a powerful pressure and score at least one goal. Chelsea won deservedly, although who knows what would have happened if Karim Benzema had used at least one of his super chances in the first half of the match, but history does not like subjunctive moods.

Real madrid were not motivated, they won the champions league 3 times in a row, on the other hand Chelsea wanted this more than Real Madrid players did, and maybe they can do it again and win the champions league while being the underdog just like they did in 2012.

I was among those disappointed with Hazard's performance while playing for Real Madrid during his two seasons, Hazard suffered  more injuries.
It is possible that his performance has not returned after a long injury, therefore his performance against Chelsea is very bad. Hopefully next
season Hazard can show his quality as Europa's top player.



Especially seeing Hazard laugh when the Chelsea vs Madrid match ended, this was quite painful for some Madrid fans who cried because they
team failed to qualify for the final. Hazard shouldn't have shown this on camera, this pissed off some Madrid fans.

Winning the Champions League Title 3 Times in a row is not an excuse not to be motivated, the Team must protect the hearts of the fans and also the big names of the club.

The factor for them being eliminated from the Champions League was because Chelsea's game was better than them (Real Madrid)

[Luzin]

I love Manchester City and the way Pep coaches the team. I support them to become champions, how about you?

My guess was wrong, I'm sad that Madrid lost. Ramos and Hazard did not have a good impact, for Chelsea, Kante was great. He didn't get tired of exploring midfield, he was always everywhere. Congratulations to Chelsea ... the English club duel at UCL is repeated. I chose Man City to win this year, after Madrid were eliminated.

Madrid must accept this. Their next target Madrid must be to win the La Liga.

Hazard is not a player that he used to be in Chelsea. Hit fitness turns to overweight and his performance is bad. Injuries are other restrictions on Hazard's ability to contribute his best for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid fans should not expect too much from Hazard in important match like semi final. I think Hazard will become another Owen, Woodgate, Cassano for Real Madrid. His age is old and he won't have too many seasons at top levels. Especially with his injuries and overweight, his career will be shortened.

I was among those disappointed with Hazard's performance while playing for Real Madrid during his two seasons, Hazard suffered  more injuries.

season Hazard can show his quality as Europa's top player.

Me too. Hazard lost himself too easily. Being a top player in Europa League is not easy for him too if you see how Hazard can not play well in La Liga. Hazard is in same situation as Metsut Ozil in Arsenal. They have great skills, great abilities but his confidence is lost and his fitness is lost as well. Desire is in doubt.

Especially seeing Hazard laugh when the Chelsea vs Madrid match ended, this was quite painful for some Madrid fans who cried because they
team failed to qualify for the final. Hazard shouldn't have shown this on camera, this pissed off some Madrid fans.

I understand Hazard had best time of his career in Chelsea and he might love that club so much. However, I disagree with this emotional reaction. He should show more respect to Real Madrid and their fans.

I am surprised, All England club finals. I got a false prediction. it's not much of my expectation. I hope one of another country going to the final, Spain or France, but all of out. Will Chelsea going to be the champion in this session?.

Another achievement was created by manchester city, this the first time going to the final. Pep is a genius person who has made it possible. the war of strategy will be showing at Ataturk Stadium, on 29 May 2021. I won't bet atm, at least 1 week before the match, because the situation will have changed, the premier league not yet finished, maybe 1 -2 players have injured or had bad performance to be the starter on the final.

I understand your feelings, must be very sad and disappointed right now, because Madrid have to leave the Champions League,  even though many
people have made Madrid the favorite to win. But it must be admitted that Chelsea's game was better, and Chelsea's counter-attack was very effective.
I agree that the presence of Ramos and Hazard does not have a significant effect on the Madrid game, this is very disappointing for Madrid fans.
But the positive side is that Madrid can now focus more on winning the La Liga trophy this season. Real Madrid only need to wait for the result of
the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match, but I believe Real Madrid hopes that the match will end in a draw,  so that Real Madrid will automatically
move up to first place if Madrid win against Sevilla.

More surprise with the appearance of Chelsea. They are part of All-England Champions League final, against Manchester United years ago, and against Manchester City in this season.

Two All-England finals relate to Chelsea and Manchester. Chelsea failed in the first final and that was the last match of Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United.

Will Chelsea can beat history and win this final? I don't think they want to become another loser in their second All-England final.

Despite of my hope for Chelsea, I think they will face with lots of difficulty because Manchester City dominate the Premier League and they know Chelsea very well. Everthing can happen with a single match still.

[Btcvilla]

Good bye Real Madrid very bad performance and most hate why Eden Hazard playing at the first minutes and never give more constribution for Real madrid, I think have Assensio as eleven starting but Zidane prefer give chance for Hazard but not get attempt and create chance for Real Madrid, now we see all england team final and most prefer City get the first champion league trophy.

[Mistafreeze]

Great game from Chelsea, dominating all the champions league games they've played in the season, you need to beat the best to become the best in the world and that's what they've done so far. They have champions league experience and that should give them an edge against man city. Congratulations to them in advance

[acquafredda]

Tuchel made the miracle!
When Lampard got sacked nodody would have given a cents to this team while the new manager recognized their potential since day one, he changed the strategy and let these players get back to 100%!
An English Champions League final after Brexit is an oxymoron, by the way.
Which team is going to win? I still think the citizens even if I am starting to have a few doubts.

[swogerino]

Chelsea played really well yesterday night and the win was well deserved.I think this is the year of Premier League teams in International competitions as in the final here we have two teams from the Premier League and chances are really high to be the same even in Europa League.

[onecall123]

A particularly winning goal from Mason Mount, he is a true warrior. He never disappoint us and there is a great contribution from Kante! Collaboration at its best! Kante is the man of the match. An extraordinary exhibition from him, the man of difficult moments. A great and deserved victory. Kudos to the boys. And, this is a disappointing result for Madrid.

Did PSG sacked Thomas Tuchel to win UCL. BTW! Advance Congratulations England for winning UEFA champions league.

A great Performance indeed I think they have trained this to execute it perfectly or it might be a pace on their game but it is definitely part of their training, and don't forget the 1st score of Timo Werner, but we can see from the stats that Real Madrid has a large possession and pass accuracy but that is not enough in winning the game,

And the two teams that will compete for the championship is non other than Man. City VS Chelsea.

[W Jr.]

Riyad Mahrez alone shattered Paris SG's dreams. With this win, Manchester City got name written in the finals. Chelsea, on the other hand, played a superior game and equalized Real Madrid. Both teams deserved to be in the final. I think the winner of this game will be Manchester City.

A perfect final match awaits us. Let’s see which team is CL Champion? 

[Cnut237]

in the final here we have two teams from the Premier League and chances are really high to be the same even in Europa League.

Yes, I was thinking the same. In the Europa League, Man United are almost through already after that 6-2 win in the first leg. Arsenal are 2-1 behind... but they are playing at home in the second leg, and they have that away goal advantage... a 1-0 home win for Arsenal would mean all English finals in both competitions.
