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

[3meek]

I think Malmö will be able to beat Ludogorets again tonight... I thought they played better than Ludogorets...
I also think Young Boys can beat Ferencvaros... Although here I have my doubts of course...
And of course I'll be supporting PSV tonight! I hope they make it through, they deserve it!

The funny thing for these three games of today is that both home teams need to win their games in order to qualify.The odds are pretty high and Young Boys which is a strong team I think is in big danger today,a simple win 1-0 for Ferencvaros would nail them out.Ludogoretz has a much more difficult game as winning 2-0 would just make things equal to the teams.Lastly the main event I think tonight is a really hot game where also PSV needs a narrow win against Benfica but we all know how strong Benfica is so this will be the most interesting game to win.

If I were to put a treble I would put all the home teams to win tonight.

[Altryist]

It is time for the rematch between PSV and Benfica today. Benfica managed to win the first leg 2-1. They have a good advantage before the rematch. And I think that they are more powerful than PSV. Hence, I expect Benfica to draw with PSV in the worst case and eliminate them. Benfica started the season really good in their league. They should be able to eliminate PSV also. But it may not be very easy for them as PSV have dangerous players.

PSV has nowhere to retreat, they will only be satisfied with a victory today, so PSV with a handicap (0) will be quite reliable today, but the coefficient is not large, 1.45. Therefore, we can add another Young Boys - Ferencvaros match to this event, the total of the match is over 2.5. The teams are very effective and play open football, which I think will provide us with spectacular football with a lot of goals today. I really hope that Young Boys will not sit out in defense for the whole match.

i believe the away goals don't count anymore in the champions league. 1-0 for ferencvaros would take that match to overtime.

I am waiting to enjoy the match of PSV Eindhoven vs Benfica. I think it will be a very enjoyable match. It's a home match for PSV, and they need to win. On the other hand, Benfica has won in the 1st leg. They are happy if they can able to draw the match today. I think the match will be a 1-1 draw.

The match has started. And 20 minutes is over. PSV are playing well on their own field, they are trying to attack. But Benfica is not trying to attack yet. They are playing defensively. They will follow defensive tactics today and will only resist PSV's attack. Because they need a draw.

[W Jr.]

Young boys took the lead 1-0, but Frencvaros scored and the situation continues as 1-1. No goal has been scored yet in the Benfica-PSV match, which is the most exciting match of the evening among the first matches. Let's see who will be the 3 teams that will pass the qualification today. My guess is Benfica, Malmö, Frencvaros may be the teams that passed the tour.

[arallmuus]

I am putting both those games on my ticket but going just for goals. Should be plenty of goals in both of them. PSV needs to be attacking and Benfica is too good club not to score at least one goal. Both to score is my choice for this one and expecting it to pass during first half.

I was expecting the second half to be alot more interesting but PSV cant even score with Benfica down to only 10 players. Solid defending from Benfica and the 1st leg advantage really helps them to win huh. If it was the other way around on the 1st leg, Benfica would have been smashed trying to score with only 10 players

I thought we would have seen alot of goals on this match though but meh. I had my hopes up after the red card

[LTU_btc]

Most of us expected high scoring game between PSV and Benfica, but it ended 0:0. PSV dominated, Benfica got red card in first half, but it didn't helped PSV to score, they wasted many moments.
Ferencvaros - Young Boys was crazy game again. Ferencvaros were good, but I think red card killed them.
Ludogorets were close, but after all, Malmo were slightly better.

[Trofo]

I actually think that red card for Benfica destroyed our chance to see many goals in this game. After that they probably decided to defend their lead from first game and forgot about attacking. If they played with 11 man I am sure we would have seen at least a goal or two. Did not watch the match since I was playing futsal with my mates but from the stats it looks like PSV had many opportunities and were unable to convert. My man Zahavi disappointed me for the first time in very long time. He scored so many goals for his country and clubs in the past to bring my both to score bets home so all is forgiven.

Benfica played an hour with one less, after Lucas Veríssimo expulsion. It was a game of great suffering, thanks to Benfica goalkeeper - Vlachodimos (considered the best on the field), keeping the score zero. With this result, Benfica managed to enter the group stage of the Champions League, which already includes two other Portuguese teams, Sporting and FC Porto.

Both of these two matches are over. Benfica got an early red card and it caused PSV to take the control of the match in no time. PSV played really great and didn't let Benfica have much chance. But they still weren't able to score even one goal. This clumsiness caused them to be eliminated by Benfica despite a match like this. Football is really interesting. Benfica might have been on their luckiest day.

And Young Boys managed to win the match with the exact same score here. If Ferencvaros didn't get a red card, maybe they would even qualify for the group stage.

Failing to win vs 10 players for almost 60 minutes in your home is so frustrating for Eindhoven fans.. Malmo passed thanks to the goal scored in this match and it is funny to see Young Boys results the same as in the home game with an inverted red card, mirror force
For Wednesday games, Salzburg and Dinamo should pass too, but I think the most interesting match will be between Shakhtar and Monaco.

PSV were rather just unfortunate tonight, they actually played better than they did in the first leg.

After they got the man advantage I was quite of the opinion that they'll win the match and maybe force extra time at least.

Kudos to Benfica for playing with one man less for that much of the game and were still able to stand their ground against all the attacking threat from PSV, even though they didn't offer anything in attack.

In that match the Benfica goalkeeper, Odisseas Vlachodimos really showed an appearance that deserves to be rewarded with the best player award, in fact he was able to make almost eight saves throughout the match.
I don't know what the Eindhoven fans are thinking right now, but what is certain is the second leg match it really became a nightmare for Eindhoven, apart from being the host, Eindhoven also couldn't take advantage when Benfica only played with 10 players and of course with this result, Eindhoven was again only able to play up to the group stage of the Europa League for three seasons streak.

[hahay]

It's good to see the result of the second leg match between PSV - Benfica match the prediction with a draw and in fact, Benfica played with only 10 men from the 32' minute. Here it is proven that Benfica has a strong and good defense as I predicted before, but I don't understand how a team as strong as PSV can't even score 1 goal against 10 players even playing at home. With this result, PSV still cannot break Benfica's dominance in the European and champions leagues. It's a shame indeed, considering this is the right moment but PSV still can't make the most of this moment so there is still no change to their head to heat record, Benfica still dominates.

[joker_josue]

Today we will certainly see Monaco giving their all, in the game against Shakhtar, after having lost the first leg.
And Sheriff has everything to make a historic feat, entering the group stage of the League of Champions.

Dinamo has a really difficult task today, I personally feel their chances are slim. They are a better team on paper but they lost the 1st game 3-0, and more importantly they played really bad. I'm not sure how much they can improve in such a short period of time, Sheriff defended them without much problems a week ago.

Dinamo is lucky that they scrapped the away goal rule, with that active I'd say they have no chance of progressing. In an open game like this I expect Sheriff to score so I'll be going for both BTTS and over 3,5 goals bets.

Yeah. Sheriff beat Dinamo 3-0 in the first leg, and they are unbeaten in their last six matches. The home side, on the other hand, has struggled to score goals recently, with no more than one goal scored in each of their last five matches. This does not bode well for any chance of success.

Indeed in the first match, Dinamo failed to prove on the pitch that it's a better team than Sheriff and now things are really tough for them. They need 3 goals to send the match to the extra time, so they have to start in full attacking mode from 1st minute of the game. Perhaps if they score an early goal, things will be different but I don't believe that Sheriff will sit back. I agree that there is a big chance to see goals from both of them.
As for Eindhoven, well, they were unlucky and they fall into a superb Vlachodimos and Malmo, just do their part.
