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

It seems that the possibility of moving the venue of the Champions final from Turkey to England is not that fanciful. Two articles, one on Goal.com and one in the Telegraph seem to raise the question that UEFA is probably considering moving the final to the other side of the English Channel.
I think this will make it much easier for English fans to follow their teams.

Moving the match from Istanbul to England would be a logical step on the part of UEFA as there are a lot of sick people plus the two English teams meet in the final. I hope the match will be postponed and this will allow the game to be played with a small number of fans to bring more emotions and pleasure to the game.

This idea of switching the game to England because of Covid, is another excuse because of the political tensions of the last days between Turkey and Israel.

This idea of switching the game to England because of Covid, is another excuse because of the political tensions of the last days between Turkey and Israel.

A very sensible reason, Moreover, the two teams who entered the final representative from England. Covid-19 and political tensions between Turkey and Israel are strong reasons for UEFA to move match from Istanbul to England. And the two teams didn't have to travel far to play the final.

According to the NYT newspaper, it is also on the table, the final to be held in the city of Porto, Portugal. Since Portugal is on the UK's green list, as a safe country.

It's Official the Champions League Final game won't happen in Istanbul. UCL final take place at Wembley stadium, and an English team winning UCL at Wembley will be first time ever. Makes complete sense, Turkey is a red recorded country for COVID right now, the finalists both from English team, more quantities of fans can attend now. If fans are permitted to go in the stadium this Will be more joyful to watch.

It is being a fantastic year for English football. After Brexit and the problems with Covid, having two clubs in the UCL final, the game will be played in England. What do they want more?

This decade of football can be dominated by English clubs. We'll see.

I'm sorry but that's not very interesting for people belonging to the other countries of Europe and UEFA organization. What about them? Two english teams will meet each other in a english stadium... If people want to watch those kind of matchs they just need to watch an English Premier League match, that's it. That's not a good news at all.

The other teams should fight more in order to not let teams from English Premier League dominate even in International competitions like the Champions League.This final is well deserved for the two teams as they fought hard and won against really strong teams like Real Madrid and PSG.

I agree with you if Chelsea and Manchester City are in final that's because they were stronger than the other teams and then they deserve to be there. But there is no need to let them play into an english stadium, it should be the opposite in my opinion, two teams from the same country shouldn't be allowed to play in a stadium of their country, for the sake of the UEFA Championship spirit.

Actually it is still not clear whether the final game will be played in England. If it becomes official, then we will most probably see it in Wembley. Actually I wouldn't like to see the final also being played in a stadium which is in England. I hope that they won't change it. I think it is better to see a different stadium in a different country as this is the CL final.

The English are not the only country that experience some disaster last year but yes they perform very wonderful this season and it their preparation with hard work makes things work out for them like this because the Espanol was the side that once dominated the Champion before.

The Manchester City-Chelsea match played in the League can be considered a rehearsal of UCL's final match. We can understand from this match that both teams are almost equal. Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 with a goal in 90 + 2. There is no dominant team in the final match. It will be a fierce match.

[Mistafreeze]

Sarri maybe can come and whip things up but with our board current's situation I do not see who as a good coach would come and teach at our club.

Sarri is a perfect club for Totteham but the midfiders are not good enough to play sarriball, Tottenham does not have any fast passer in the midfield which is very vital in sarri system of play, maybe he would need a huge cheque if they should need his services.

Two teams of the same quality. The coaches of both teams are experienced enough and skilled. Everyone is hoping that the Champions League final will be very competitive and exciting. I watched the Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City. Although Chelsea have won, Manchester City have played much better.

Right bro.  Manchester City played well but lost. That's why football is good. Even if you play a game with pressure for 90 minutes, you can be beaten by the last minute goal. While you're just thinking that it's over, one goal can change everything.  Let's see what awaits us in the next Chelsea-Manchester City UCL final.

I do not agree that two teams have the same quality. The winning capability tilts a little to Mancity because they have been one of the strongest teams in EPL for many years. Even though Chelsea won the previous confrontation, Man city will definitely be the next champion of EPL so that does not affect the final result. They will gather all the power for the final

I also believe that the final will be fascinating. We have not seen many good finals in the last couple of years

I am leaning towards Man City as well since they have been very consistent for a long period of time. The recent results doesnt really matter to them as they arent of any consequence to them when compared to Chelsea. Even though I think they could improve in their striker fronts(especially since Aguero will leave at the end of the season for free) but other than that, they are a very solid and cohesive team. I will most likely wager on Man City to win the champions league.

Still too much unknowns if you look at the players deployed by both sides during the EPL match.  City mostly played its B team and Cheslea had its core players rested except for a couple.  At the top of my head, I think Werner and Kante were core players played and some more at the back.  But it’s going to be a fun match for sure.

[ropyu1978]

I didn't watch the Premier League match, but for some reason I think Man City could win the Champions League! Even if they recently lost to Chelsea at home it doesn't mean anything in the Champions League... Although I agree that only strong clubs make it to the finals! 

I am also sure that Manchester City will also win the Champions League, even though Mencherter City lost in the EPL yesterday, I don't think it was affected at all, because I saw that yesterday Manchester City only played second tier players, they didn't lose all their core players. ,,
because Manchester City has become the EPL champion ..
and the champions will follow later ..

IMHO, one thing is now clear: Istanbul is NOT going to be the Champions League final venue. According to those mentioned sources UEFA is investigating about moving the final to either England or Portugal!

Chelsea have focused more on the Champions League this season. And they were able to reach the final. Manchester City has done very well in the Premier League. But Manchester City have lost the last two matches against Chelsea. Chelsea reached the final of the FA cup by defeating Manchester City. So there is nothing to underestimate the power of Chelsea team. But I think Manchester City will win the Champions League, since I'm a fan of Guardiola.
