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

[Naida_BR]

Anyone actually backing Chelski tonight for a Europa winner to beat a Champs League winner? I am so making sure I have the tv all to myself for another Reds trophy =p

I hope that Chelsea is going to win this Super Cup trophy.
Personally, I admire and respect Frank Lampard at most. I think that he didn't deserve such a bad start in his favorite team's bench.
This game will be the time to prove that he does great work at the club.

And Celtic, a well-known club in Europe with a lot of history in the football world, just got KO'd by Cluj, a low-tier club from Romania...CFR Cluj...This is beyond embarrassing for Celtic 

IMO, level of Scottish football is shit and it's not much better than Romanian, so it's probably not that huge sensation that they got kicked out. The main problem for Celtic that they just don't have many serious oppopents in SPFL, same like PSG in France, and it affect their results in UEFA cups.
@buwaytress, I don't believe that current Chelsea can beat Liverpool. Well, Istanbul is historic city for Liverpool, remember that epic final in 2005 against Milan.

[swogerino]

It looks like to many easy games for the big teams of this stage of Europa League however I would be cautious and bet only on who will qualify rather than playing money line bets.The reason is that I think teams like AIK or any other team who have won the first game away from home can play quiet and may be happy with a draw tonight which would qualify them anyway.

Perhaps, another massacre is about to unfold.

Can Chelsea contain this Liverpool squad, maybe a miracle will be need.

I'm looking at taking Liverpool to win @ Halftime for 2.1 odds

[tomahawk9]

@toma sounds like a good parlay but only if at least 6/1... I would go for Cluj and Bruges parlay... But always closer to the games first to see odds!

Yeah, i'm gonna wait until next week to go for it. I might include Cluj to make it a bit more interesting, but idk, I just discovered this team yesterday lol

Yeah, scottish football is overrated, take Celtic vs Rangers and no one would be interested in watching the SFL, but still, I rate it higher than the romanian league.

[Harkorede]

Ngolo Kante, Giroud and Pulisic all make the starting lineup for Chelsea, and No Roberto Firminho, Adrian is starting in goal for Liverpool, as the lineups for the Uefa Super Cup is released.

What are your thoughts about respective team's starting line up?

[Flagship11]

Im going to take a small chance on this prop seeing I think The Reds win the Cup.



Found this quite fascinating to say the least:
Stephanie Frappart will make history when she becomes the first female official to take charge of a major Uefa men's competition showpiece

7 minutes left in the second half of normal time.
Scores while Liverpool [1] - [1] Chelsea.
So far the two teams have been attacking each other and this is really very interesting to watch until the second half is over. Certainly both teams have their supporters here.

Good game, I’ve enjoyed it. Going to extra time now, should be fun to watch. I think it’s been really close, no team has been better than the other which I guess is reflected in the scoreline.

I agree that this match is very interesting to watch at the end of extra time. I don't think there is a gap between the two teams, I really enjoy every attack created by both teams. With the entry of Origi, it usually makes a surprise at the end.

It was really great Supercup final to watch - quality football and some drama is something what we wanted. Before game I understimated Chelsea too much, but I was wrong. Tonight they played very well. It was equal match more or less and nothing strange that penalties were needed to decide who will win. Congrats to Liverpool supporters with first trophy this season.

@LTU_btc Chelsea has surprised me by their performance in this match, after the thrashing they received at the hands of Manchester United I never expected them to play so well and take the game into penalties. Lampard is making good progress and if only he was able to buy one or two players the result of this match would have been different. Congratulations to Liverpool on winning it, but even Klopp will know his side got lucky and they need to improve if they want to win more trophies.

Lampard make some good calls yesterday and he had a strategy that was perfectly designed.
I don't know... May they were lucky yesterday or they just had a bad day in Manchester, who knows... I hope they will keep performing good because we need competition both in Champions league and EPL.

[DeathAngel]

Tammy Abraham was the unlucky guy in the end then as the only guy to miss a penalty. Penalties are a cruel way to end a game because somebody always becomes the villain by missing. I suppose the other side of that is Adrian became a hero. I read that last month he had no club & was training alone, kind of a fairy story for him.

[buwaytress]

Not so many games tonight but I'm taking a parlay involving two of the tournament's rather high-performing clubs so far. Brugge has new keeper Mignolet, who let in 3 goals but somehow I think he'll perform tonight. Cluj, giantkillers so far, I'm backing them to slay another former giant (Slavia Praha).

Not much else to look at though tonight.

Let's not forget that Ajax will also be playing today against Apoel Nicosia, though Ziyech may or may not be able to play in the game. I reckon that both teams are going to end up scoring in this game and eventually Ajax are going to qualify for the Champions League.

Cfr Cluj a few years ago has been performing in the group stages of Champions League so they have quite some experience ar this level.Slavia is a strong team but the two local Championships do not differ much,both are somewhat strong leagues in Europe.

I back Cluj too today.

Well even without Ziyech Ajax should be able to win against APOEL. Let's hope they also could keep Van der Beek for one extra year.

Cluj might seem sronger but I am going to bet for Slavia today.
I have faith in this team and I hope to see them winning today.

[efialtis]

Anyone watching todays matches? Everybody thought Ajax would easily win in Cyprus but its 0-0 at HT. Gonna be an exciting 2nd half.
