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

[Juggy777]

A terrible week for Juventus, 2 broken KEY players PJANIC and DOUGLAS COSTA!
They probably can't recover for the match, the less serious one should be Pjanic's. They will soon do an MRI for both (flexor lesion).

Juventus will be lucky if can draw this match.
If these 2 players will not be called for Madrid the odds will drop for Atletico's win. For sure.

The match is on Wednesday at the Wanda Metropolitano.  

@coinlocket$ indeed it was a terrible match as they not only drew, but they also lost two key players to injury before a difficult clash against Atletico Madrid. However I don’t expect them to play for a draw as their squad is strong enough to battle it out for a victory. If you have forgotten Juventus have Ronaldo playing for them who knows Atletico Madrid well, and he’ll try and win it on his own if required.

It's true that those players are key players for Juventus. I think that Juventus is going to play on the counter attack and try to score. As it is an early game in the season a draw is the most probable result for both teams.

This is difficult to predict. Juventus and Atletico Madrid both have great players. I hope that the match will not end in a draw. There must be someone who loses and wins.

If you look at the previous season it is true that Juventus can come back from athletico Madrid with Ronaldo's big role there.

Very curious for us to look forward to this big match.

[joniboini]

If you look at the previous season it is true that Juventus can come back from athletico Madrid with Ronaldo's big role there.

Pjanic and Costa are two of the top 6 players with the highest key passes per game last season.[1] Other players that they could use to fill their passer role could be Juan Cuadrado or Dybala (based on key passes stats alone), or Ronaldo itself.

They could play with 4-4-2 and left Mandzukic and Ronaldo upfront and only use 1 overlapping full-back to prevent Atletico's counter.

Ronaldo has a history in scoring goals against Athletico and I do hope it continues, though there is every livelihood that it may not come into play in this game, this sort of match looks so much like a draw to me, as the both teams would be rather too careful so as not to kick off their UCL season on a bad note.

I think this is the biggest match of the first matchday and it's the one everyone is eager to watch, I'll be predicting this one in favor of Athletico, I think they have a slight edge over juve this season, still early though, but I believe they'll win: 2:1.

[swogerino]

In the Champions League first day tonight and tomorrow night we already have two giants couple playing each other which are Atletico Madrid vs Juventus and Psg vs Real Madrid.I think these are the main events to watch and I think Atletico Madrid will repeat last year win against Juventus while I think a draw will be in Psg game.

You might watch it, but friend, do not count on us, we are the Südtribüne and we will welcome Barcelona tonight, crossing fingers that our black and yellows will give Barca a though battle tonight.

Anyway, everybody may enjoy the match he/she desires at the utmost.

New season start today. Finally. Are we gonna predict some semis for CL and EL, maybe. To see some team into this.
For the moment think we will see again usual suspect for the semis, my pick for CL will be Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventus and probably Manchester City, they could use semis about now.

For Europe league cant predict cuz we have team from champions league entering there after group stage and its hard to predict.

I couldn't agree with you more ... both teams atletico madrid and juventus tend to play defensive,  Atletico Madrid well known the most less conceded among top European clubs and Juventus itself in the last game having a frustrated match against fiorentina that ended 0-0 with cristiano have 0 shot attempt in the game.

Fair to say that this game would a little bit boring with zero goal scored , a good odds on draw or if you want a little more risk try for under 0.5 goal  .

For the tonight game there's Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona which I personally would wait Barcelona to conceded... so I could get higher odds for Barcelona to make a comeback or at least make it draw   .

Another match chelsea vs Valencia.. for now both is on same level as the underdogs , I would love to go for over 2.5 goals since chelsea defensive recently are so awful and hopefully my team Chelsea could win this one.

All of your picks seem super reasonable but let's remember that this is Champions League and the last edition showed us how unpredictable and by all means great it can be. Maybe Ajax is not capable of repeating the great journey, though maybe someone else is? What do you think? In whom do you see the biggest underdog of this edition?

Finally Chpions league starts today and there is 2 big matches tonight - Borussia - Barcelona and Napoli vs Liverpool.
Messi probably will play tonight, maybe not whole match, but it's big factor. Barca results is unstable so far, so I don't know what to expect from this match. I think draw wouldn't be a bad score for us.
Napoli - Liverpool. LFC looking great so far, while Napoli have some problems in defense - they conceded 7 goals in 3 games in Serie A. Odds for LFC win looks nice.
I think we will see wins of Salzburg, Inter, Lyon and Ajax, while Chelsea - Valencia game looks tricky.

The facts you said are true.
I myself even had difficulty predicting this match. And it's regrettable if these two matches end in a draw, I hope one of them will win like Liverpool and Barcelona. This is just my prediction, maybe we will see a surprise later.

Chelsea vs Valencia, Napoli vs Liverpool, Dortmund vs Barcelona...As a neutral, I don't know what to watch lol I don't remember the last time we had such a start in the CL with so many good games.

But I think I'll watch Dortmund, I have a feeling Barca's defence is going to struggle a lot against Sancho, Reus, Paco, and Brandt. Plus, to win @2.82 is pretty decent tbh. If I were to go for a three team parlay, i would add Liverpool and Chelsea (all to win), the latter should have an easy game against a team that's pure anarchy after they sacked the manager last week.

What are your picks?

[Harkorede]

What are your picks?

I'll have Chelsea, Liverpool but not Dortmund, Barcelona would know better than to take this game lightly, and with Lionel Messi and Suarez back within the squad, there will be some sort of morale boost in the camp. Barcelona to win either halves offered @ 1.67 looks good to me, I'll be adding that to a parlay.

Inter ML
Chelsea ML
Barcelona to win either halves
Liverpool to win either halves

Total Odds: 8.01

[Naida_BR]

The most interesting game which I would place my bets would be Dortmund-Barcelona today.
I am going to place a bet for Dortmund's win and also for an over @ 2,5 goals scored in the match.
It is going to be an attacking game and I think that Dortmund is a lot faster to get the victory today.

[tokeweed]

Be careful making picks on these matches...  The CL tends to be unpredictable during the first couple of matches.  Trust me, I know.  Lololol.

[efialtis]

BVB - Barca Goaaaaaaaaaaaalfest --> Over 3.5 go for it guys

[tomahawk9]

@Harko  best of luck!

Be careful making picks on these matches...  The CL tends to be unpredictable during the first couple of matches.  Trust me, I know.  Lololol.

Yeah, i changed my mind and decided to have only Liverpool ML in my parlay, for Chelsea and Dortmund i went with total goals.

BVB - Barca Goaaaaaaaaaaaalfest --> Over 3.5 go for it guys

Everyone's expecting that, i went with over 2.5 goals  Please, no boring 0-0 LOL

[webtricks]

BVB - Barca Goaaaaaaaaaaaalfest --> Over 3.5 go for it guys

No doubt, both Dortmund and Barcelona are more of the attacking sides than defensive ones. Both of the teams have magnificent attacking lineup. I won't be surprised if Barcelona plays with 4 forwards in the game. It will surely gonna be goal feast.
And more importantly, remember whose coming back? King Lionel Messi!
My Prediction: BVB 2-4 BAR

That's right, this match will attack each other.
Betting with @ 2.5 goals in that match is very likely. Don't think this is a group phase, the win every match in CL will determine the future. Therefore no one plays casually.
