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

[Murat]

What the hell is going on Real Madrid, This team has lost again point against a 76th rating club from Belgium. it's really sad to see the result, the most important thing is that Real Madrid is still winless so far this UCL league. After losing the first match against PSG by 3-0 then the second match was held by 2-2. I think Zidan is losing control on the team's performance, I don't understand why Zizan didn't include James and Bale in the squad, they both are playing well so far and but they are not like what Zidan wants, I don't know what's the problem is going on the defence line, why the Goalkeeper Cortoa is passing the worst time in his career and The time reminds me the name of Ronaldo. Real Madrid is genuinely missing the service of CR7.

First game doesn't ended well for the champion Liverpool and tonight they will fight against Red Bull Salzburg and nothing too easy for them but as a host team they have to utilize this game to get full point so Liverpool might be will being the winner of this game but today money line is not good options because the odds was too low and i will taking the risk here that over 2.5 goals would be my choose and i wish they will win with 2 difference goals or more

Real madrid is in real struggle since Christiano Ronaldo left real madrid. I thought Real Madrid will lost on that match, 0-2 in the first half but luckly they can make a little comeback to make it draw 2-2. Even Zidane can't make a different.

All big teams are won on yesterday matches and wow at Bayern, 7 goals against Tottenham.

For today matches, i believe Liverpool can win this one, even Salzburg last match was 6-2 vs Genk. That's scary but this is Anfield, my prediction 4-1 win for Liverpool.

Barcelona vs Inter & Valencia vs Ajax the best games tonight. Lots of bit teaks playing tonight bit these two games I am most interested in.

[custard_pudding]

Well, I honestly wouldn´t bet to much on an away-win here. I am a bit biased (anti-Bayern) but still playing on english ground haven´t been that tasty for hungry Bavarians in the past and the bookies already include the recent form of both teams to their odds to make the away side favorites, I wouldn´t touch the odds for Bayern with the risk of a draw involved.

Keep in mind a draw at White Hard Lane and a win at home in the 2nd leg will make them winning the group comfortably already, so there is no need for high risk to go for the 3 points tomorrow.

I'll be tuned in to Barcelona vs Inter as well. It should be an interesting match.

Good news is that both Lionel Messi and Dembele are back and fit enough for the game, Barca should be able to continue their dominance at the Nou camp.

My Prediction: Barca 3 - 1 Inter

[Rikafip]

I have no idea how Dinamo managed to finish first half with 0-0 and I'm sure that  Dinamo players don't know that either.

I expected Man City to dominate this game, but this looked like they were playing against kids, Dinamo players were so scared and impressed.

edit:in the end  2:0 for City, and Dinamo should be happy with this result.

I agree that Dinamo players played like some kids. But you can't expect them not to be impressed playing against Man City if you know what teams are they playing against in the domestic league. I think they played OK in defense and they even had 2-3 chances but it's as if they didn't know what to do with the ball when they entered City's half.
But hey! I still think they didn't embarrass themselves with losing 2:0. Even Shakhtar lost 3:0 at home against City so I'd say this is an acceptable defeat

I agree that they didn't embarrass themselves, 0-2 against one of the most dominant teams around is ok result. But i was just so annoyed at the first 15-20 minutes, that was tough period, they looked completely lost.

Dinamo actually played brilliant. Defense is a part of football, they really annoyed City and Guardiola had to go with Sterling at the end, Aguero played 85 min.
Dinamo should have been 3-0 down after first 25 minutes but after that they defended really good. I was impressed with their defensive performance, it was clear that they cannot offer much going forward when the result is open. Olmo basically played as an extra full back the whole match, offensively you cannot do much then.

I must admit that i was a bit too tough  on Dinamo, for a moment i forgot how good City is, and especially with this football they play, with high possession where they basically hide the ball from the opponents. Now with clear head i see that it wasn't that bad, Dinamo team kept composure after that beginning, that was crucial period to survive.

Did you maybe watch some games of RM this season? They play bad, and that is an indisputable fact, which was also shown in last night's game. Some little more serious opponent would easily defeat them last night, but such big teams always have help from the referee who is shown two yellow cards (red card) to Club Brugge captain (in maybe 10 minutes), which directly resulted in an equalizing goal.

Don't use the word brilliant for what Dinamo is shown last night, they defend very bad and the reason for the score was 0-0 at halftime is in fact that MC is had a series of incredible misses+few good saves from Dinamo goalkeeper (which is best rated Dinamo player in this game). Pep is made the right move with Sterling who is score first goal and assisted for the second.

MC just has a bad night and bad luck and the results is only 2-0 victory. Dinamo is outplayed in all segments of the game, and only player on their side that show something is Livakovic (goalkeeper).

Wow, what a terrible prediction.
Approaching the match Barcelona vs Inter, that Barcelona is very favorite right to win. 60% in my opinion Barcelona chance to win and I really believe Camp Nou will be a witness to Barcelona= victory.

Don't underestimate the mental pressure that the players had. They seriously have some trouble getting a grip on themselves and they're lucky the goalie played so well. Against a team, as intimidating as City they must have felt that they're not gonna win and therefore got stressed.

My Prediction: Barca 3 - 1 Inter

I root for Inter this time lol. I bet they can get 1 point at Camp Nou at least. 1-1 for them.

[Bitinity]

I saw the Highlights & Goals that happened in that match because I couldn't watch it live. Looks like Bayern are too strong to be against Tottenham.
Hopefully Lionel Messi is also able to score 4 goals like the Bayern players did.

I doubt Messi can do it this time, he is not fully recovered yet. Barcelona is still under their best form since the new season start, on other side Inter is on their best form in Serie-A. Barcelona may win the match as they are playing at Nou Camp but the score wont be that high. I guess there will be only 1 or 2 max goal difference at the end of the match, I predict the match will end in 2-1 or 2-0.

Inter is in top form and leading the Serie A with 6 consecutive victories and by showing a great deal of beautiful football.I think they play motivated at their highest against a team like Barcelona and they will hope to beat Barcelona tonight,which in my opinion is far from their best form,so it will be a beautiful game to watch on Tv.

Yes, I said that. They should have been 3-0 down after 20 min but AFTER that they actually did play very well. They were lucky, even with that penalty call, but I still think they can be proud of their performance. City is one of the best teams in football's history, went to 100 points 2 years in a row in Premier league, Dinamo's resilience actually impressed me.

Same, I was busy in some work and didn't get time to watch that game. What a performance from Bayern, unbelievable!
Last year Messi came to Wembley and scored beautiful brace against Tottenham, this year it's Gnabry who took the charge to humiliate Tottenham. 3 goals in 4 minutes, just a Bayern thing!

And yeah, Messi and Dembele are back in Barça's squad for tonight encounter with Inter. For the first time in this season that every attacking player of Barça is fit to play. It is going to be a very enjoyable encounter!

Lionel Messi has so far zero goal in this season. He played just 2 Laliga and 1 champions league game, none of which he played for full 90 minutes. So far, he is not able to fully-recover the injury. I think 4 goals is too much ask from him for tonight game but it would be good if he plays full 90 minutes and scores one or two.

You're right, I was mistaken and overly expected to Messi even though he wasn't 100% fit. at least messi will definitely contribute in the match later, Assist is good enough.

[buwaytress]

Not very good tonight for underdog picks, I will wait till the odds jump before I put anything in, although 5/1 for Lyon is already quite interesting for me! Love it when bookies bump odds just because it's an away game, but yeah home advantage in Europe seems to be pretty big. Lyon can be shitty, though, so I hope the right side shows up tonight!

Liverpool should get their boots on tonight. Salah to return to scoring form. Share PICS @LFC!

Yeah, playing at liverpool stadium will give more effect for Liverpool, but it's not good for Red Bull.  Let's see, on data match, Livepool comes with good morale after winning streak from last 3 games specially winning vs Chelsea. Even Red Bull also making winning streak, Liverpool position as champions last season, I think they will play all out to get a chance to be a champions league for this season too.

My Prediction: Barca 3 - 1 Inter

You sure? We thought Messi recovered a few days ago, but he got injured again. They shouldn't rush him, tbh. Dembele, he's been out of the pitch for so long, it'll be risky to put him on the pitch in such a tough game. I'm expecting under 2.5 in this game.

My parlay for today:

Leipzig vs Lyon - btts / Valencia vs Ajax - O1.5 / Liverpool win and O2.5 /@3.84

O.Lyon are currently in bad form right now, 7 games without winning in all competitions, Leipzig would probably be the 8th, although the germans have such an offensive style of play, that I wouldn't be surprised if Lyon manages to score today. About Liverpool, BTTS offers better odds, but I'll stick with my prediction, I have a feeling today will be the day Liverpool will finally l keep a clean sheet at home 

[Apes]

Barcelona vs Inter & Valencia vs Ajax the best games tonight. Lots of bit teaks playing tonight bit these two games I am most interested in.

I'm more interested watching Barcelona vs Inter.
Since Messi was injured, Barcelona have a hard time for winning, The news says Messi can already play in this match, but I'm not sure yet.
inter still have the chance to hold a draw if messi is not fit enough.

[Pab]

Maybe better if Messi will not play today if not enough healthy.Better not to risk injury.There is all season ahead
and finally Barca has to learn to play without him.Addiction even addiction to Messi is nothing good
With Messi or without Barca to win
Valencia-Ajax  Ajax to win.Ajax is playing very well away. Valencia is mostly playing defensive football a little boring
Liverpool- Salzburg. Liverpool is rock solid.Can"t imagine different result than LFC win

I am very confident that Liverpool will win that match. In their stadium Liverpool fans can fully support it. Redbull will be more difficult to win the match. besides because they lack a pretty good squad, they also face off against the UCL 2018 champions.
