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

[LTU_btc]

Plenty of interesting games tomorrow, Chelsea - Ajax and Borussia - Inter probably will be best, not sure which one to watch.
Situation in G group is very interesting, all 4 teams are close to each other and everything still can happen there. There will be Zenit - Leipzig and Lyon - Benfica matches next, I'm not going to risk to predict something here.
In H group it's also hot, I expect Valencia to win over Lille, because IMO, they are weakest team in group.

I can't forget Slavia Praha chairman's react when UCL Draw : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjTkkOHy8dg   

Despite reaction, Slavia are playing very good football against such strong opponents. I wouldn't write-off them already, they still can fight for Europa league spot.

Dortmund vs. Inter. This is one of the key matches tomorrow. Inter has just won last game but this one will play in Germany.

Inter won the last match in Milan for 2-0
Tomorrow even they can lose with one goal of difference and hope to finish the group stage with the same points of Dortmund.

If they will lose and they manage to get the same points at the end they will go to the final phase.
If they will lose with -3 goals than they will basically out from the champions IMHO.

No one doubts Liverpool today, almost everyone agrees Liverpool will win but I'm a little doubtful that they will win with a big score because winning by 1 or 2  goals then still get 3 points. My prediction liverpool will play more cautiously to avoid injury to players because their position is safe in the group.

There is no doubt that Liverpool can win big in this match. We know that they are on fire, especially playing at home, of course they will score a lot of goals. In other matches, I also predicted Barcelona would win big vs Slavia Praha even though they had just lost yesterday vs Levante.

Chelsea vs Ajax - both teams are in good form currently. Abrahams and Pulisic are pulling off scores for the Blues for quite some matches now. Batshuayi is also playing good. While on other hand , Ajax are also attacking pretty well. Considering the attacking line of both I am gonna go for BTTS for today's match.

I think Chelsea vs Ajax will be better one to watch as Ajax faces defeat at their home against Chelsea last month and surely will be looking for revenge now.

Of course Barcelona will win this match to add 3 points and it is safe to advance to the next round, Messi and friends will try as much as possible in this match, guess my score 3-0

@muslo thank you for that video haha. Even Cech seemed a bit smiling;)

You know to be honest, I can't wait for this match to start tonight. Barca fan here, so you can imagine how painful it has been in the past few seasons, and then the way we are doing in La Liga. Still top but we allowed Real to be above us so I fear our manager will follow Niko Kovac out into free agent world:P

PSG are probably a better team than Real & this was shown in the first game between them. The thing is when Real are desperate, backs up against the wall etc they can always get a result. Their squad is full of winners with amazing CV’s, littered with trophies.

I think Real will get a result in this game tbh.

I still do believe Real Madrid can come through thou they have lost a bit of confidence and that fear factor they had in Europe. It will take alot of work to get back to where they were in Europe 2-3 years back.

The players are brilliant, but they don't play as a team. I witnessed that in the recent 0-0 draw against Real Betis.

They’re missing a true talisman, a guy who can pull them out of the shit. That man was Ronaldo who obviously isn’t there any more. His replacement is Hazard who is yet to have anywhere near the same impact.

They sold him almost 2 years ago and still suffering without him.  
Benzema is only real replacement for Ronaldo but he is not on the same level with Ronaldo.
Hazard still need time to adapt to new club and also it's obvious that Real have many players who are not on the top level any more,  like Modric,  Marcelo etc.

The current Madrid players I think are very difficult they can survive in the Champions League, After Ronaldo's departure, Madrid seemed lose his fangs to chew. They are so blunt in front of goal. Zinedine Zidane is so difficult to find the right formation.

I thought the same but actually it is not the case here (if it isn´t the missing 2nd coffee that is playing tricks on me):

Right now both team do have 4 points.

If Dortmung wins (even 1:0) would bring them 3 points clear on Inter.

If both Inter and BVB will win their matches against Slavia and lose to Barca (for example) Dortmund will finish the group with 3 points ahead of Inter.

Should be correct that way?!

[swogerino]

I think that today finally some good games with Dortmund vs Inter as the most interesting to watch on Tv as it decides which team will go further from the two.

However I think Chelsea,Napoli,Liverpool and Barcelona to win looks like a good parlay to win some easy money,in fact if I remove Chelsea I think the other three are easy wins and I don’t know why Napoli at home is quoted 1.8 against Salzburg.

Lyon vs Benfica predictions - The match will start tonight Lyon as the host will face Benfica, in fact I do not like both teams but I see the points are 1 point different from Benfica, and I think this match will be so exciting from both teams must get maximum points tonight later, so what do you think about this ??

[Rozita]

Group E
If Napoli wins, they will be guaranteed to reach next round.

If Napoli wins the game against Red Bull Salzburg, they will likely advance to next round. But that's not 100%.
If Genk wins Liverpool the table will be like this.
Napoli 10, Liverpool 6, Genk 4,  Red Bull Salzburg 1
Genk will have chance to qualify for the next round.

these two teams are unlucky to be in the bottom of Group G with only 1 Point difference, i spot benefica points it seem have a very small chance in this group, and vice versa for lyon must beat Benfica to be hopeful and if wants to continue to compete at UCL. both teams are in a very bad position, just hoping for luck from the other match in Group G.

In group G all four teams have big chance to qualify for knockout stage. The point difference between the first and the fourth team is only 3.
Everything is possible in this group. Leipzig which is now at the first place might end the group stage at fourth place and Benfica ends it as the winner.

What do guys think of Chelsea winning the CL this season at 21?  Lampard practically brought the club's soul back and with their ban lifting on January they should get some players in to reinforce their squad.

Edit:  And with some luck at the draws, they could see themselves at the finals. 

[uray]

I am wagging a parlay for the day,
Napoli vs Red Bull Salzburg, both teams to score
Valencia vs Lille, Valencia to win or draw
Liverpool vs Genk, over 2.5 goals and Liverpool to win
Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan, under 3.5 goals
Barcelona vs Slavia Prague, Barcelona to win.

[coinlocket$]

Yeah I meant that Inter after the eventual lost needs to win probably both matches and recover 3 points from Dortmund.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Liverpool vs Genk, over 2.5 goals and Liverpool to win

Not sure about the other matches but I think you will get this one. I just checked the odds and on draw win draw market the odd for Liverpool is 1/11 LOL

Anyway, my ideal pick will be:
Liverpool to win first half
Barcelona to win first half
Chelsea to win or draw.
Odd 2.81 which is very decent in my opinion.

I check the odds for all those match and it seems that the odds for your parlay is not that big, still less than 4x (checked on Fortunejack). I think it is not worth to risk your money on 5 matches for low odds,obviously it is your own money so you can go with it. Just stating my opinion as I like to bet on parlay as well but I prefer to have bigger odds. If I have to bet on those 5 matches then I will choose:
Napoli vs Red Bull Salzburg - Napoli to win
Valencia vs Lille, Valencia Under 2.5
Liverpool vs Genk Liverpool win 1st half
Dortmund vs Inter Double chance Draw/Away
Barcelona vs Slavia Barcelona to win and over 2.5 goals

Those selections gives me odds more than 12x so it worth enough for me to risk some money on 5 different matches.
The point here is that I prefer to bet on less matches for odds less then 5. Of course we have different style of betting, just sharing my opinion.

Good luck with this one Pamoldar, I think you stand a good chance of winning this multi. Maybe the only one that could go wrong is Chelsea?
