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

[Harkorede]

Inter are the favourites for sure, but Barca without Messi at 6/1? Hard to ignore and that's why I've parlayed them with a Liverpool win. Inter is so irresistible though at their best, but in any case, I still think the game as Salzburg will be the match of the night!

I have a parlay with similar games, I have Liverpool to win and Barcelona to win either halves @ 1.89 and 2.64 Odds respectively, I would have loved to take Barca to win too, and I still might though if my 18:55 bets are won... If not I'm done for the day. I'll watch and enjoy the matches.

Fuck Yeah Man!!!!

We won it!!! congratulations mate, no guts no glory!

Liverpool won the group, bruh!

@buwaytress - Good luck in your parlay, mate. We fear nobody in the next round. Winning the group means 2nd leg at Anfield in the last 16. Nobody is going to want to play us.

OH YOU RIGHT!
My mental math went wrong, damn getting old.

Anyway I can now say it, I'm happy Inter is out of Champions even if now they have more canches to win Serie A.

Wow, Barca without Messi and co was really good tonight. These players were really motivated to prove themselves for Valverde. Though, Inter was very close and even scored two times, but it was offside.
I'm very surprised that Valencia won against Ajax in Amsterdam. It's a bit sad that Ajax is eliminated just after group stage. While Valencia not just reached next round, but also finnished in group 1st.

Interesting evening. Lyon was already down 2-0 but they came from behind and equalized. Crucial two goals that secured them second place in the group. Benfica goes to Europa League Round of 32.

Another game that was interesting till very end was Ajax - Valencia. Last year's semifinalist Ajax was defeated at their own turf and this means they will join Benfica in Europa league. If Ajax won, situation would be completely different. Ajax would take FIRST place and Valencia 3rd.

Nice win. I've said it yesterday, it's hard to ignore Barcelona ML at such odds. About the game, didn't watch it but, two kids just KO'd Inter from the CL, hahaha LOL

Anyways, I also did pretty well today  


3 fold acca @16.24
Inter vs Barca - BTTS
Valencia - ML
Lyon vs Leipzig - BTTS

So glad that Valencia won and Ajax was eliminated (game was so stressful to watch, though). No more cinderella stories or any of that nonsense, Ajax are back where they belong: Europea League    

[FlamingFingers]

GOAL! Dortmund 2-1 Slavia Prague.

Dortmund has gotten their lead back again. The goal saw them move to second position 2 points above Inter . It's quite unfortunate for Inter. Barcelona won't let them win 😞

Inter just had 3 disallowed goals in the match on grounds of being offside  , To make matters worse Ansu Fati scored a late goal to give Barcelona the lead.
How unlucky for Inter!

I feel so pity for Ajax fans,  it's so bad that they have to be eliminated right in their home, something literally is wrong whenever they are playing their home match,  Inter Milan also will be playing Europa league,  I guess no one see this coming also, the 3 disallowed goals weaken them

Napoli 1st (they will sack Ancellotti anyway?)

Not so long after my prediction.

Ancellotti is now sacked officially even he Napoli advanced on the Final stage.



They are talking about Gattuso as a new coach but for now, is only a rumor.

[notblox1]

Look at that!
Valencia managed to snatch 0:1 away win against Ajax and ruin my bet 

Liverpool on other hand won easy with 2 goals and it was way superior in this match, but I expected to see more goals

I didn't followed closely what was going on in Napoli lately, but I got impression that Ancelotti wasn't main problem. It's more about president De Laurentiis and his actions?
Gennaro "sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit" Gattuso next? I don't think that he is best available option, but probably De Laurentiis want such manager in current situation.

Carlo Ancelloti is a professional, experienced and excellent coach. I feel a deeply regret for Napoli and Carlo as well. He will surely come back later, impressively as same as what J. Mourinho has with Tottenham recently.

They are talking about Gattuso as a new coach but for now, is only a rumor.

G. Gattuso was a great player but as a coach, he has performed terribly so far. I don't think he can bring any positive changes to Napoli if he becomes a new coach of the club.

It hurts against Barcelona's reserve players, Inter Milan find it difficult to score and end up losing at home. I really did not expect that. The Inter players played with loads and too much defense. Just relying on counterattacks will not give very good results. They should have put pressure on Barcelona from the start to make it easy to score.

[Upgrade00]

Ansu Fati adds another record to his list of firsts;
He's Barcelona's youngest goal scorer in the laliga and the youngest player to both score a goal and assist in a single match. And yesterday he became the youngest player to score in a champions league match, at 17 years and 40 days. The fact that he did it against Inter Milan away from home makes his record even more impressive.
The spots for the round of 16 are almost filled up, all the focus now shift to today's games

They didn't win an easy game. Salzburg played really good football and both of them are equally threatening, though Liverpool is more clinical with their finish. In fact, Salzburg made more shots on target in the first half compared to Liverpool.

But yeah Liverpool should've scored more goals if Salah didn't waste the chances.

Oh wow.

Inter milan really disappointed their home fans losing at home to a lowly rated Barcelona speaks volume despite parading the likes of lukaku and martinez I was surprised playing more defenders knowingly that Messi is not playing for Barcelona coach conte should have paraded attack minded players and sadly couldn't qualify for the knockout stages they had themselves to blame they even allow a Barcelona young prodigy Ansu Fati to break record against them thus becoming the youngest goal scorer in Champions League history.

I lost my ticket yesterday only because of Ajax.I didn’t expect them to not be able to beat Valencia at home.In the country where I live now in Balkans people are saying that too much money has been poured in the Champions League game and that is why Ajax and Inter lost at home.Of course I don’t believe this,they just happened to lose.

It was really unlucky when the team that I was proud of and I bet in this match lost quite sickly 2-1 and 1-0, Inter Milan and Ajax should have won this match and maybe it was unlucky they were on their team so they lost last night at own cage.
Only 1 win in my bet that Chelsea is able to qualify for the next round, this is really unexpected.

Yeah it's like messi himself is 50% of the Barcelona as a club , no wonder bookies give that much to the market.
I still confident that inter milan won't go qualified easily, it's a 50/50 chance for me . Barcelona get draw or win it with 1 goal difference like 1-2 or 2-3 ... or intermilan win it in struggle and some lucky factors like 1-0 and defending at the rest of the game.

Inter milan urgently need this winning and that's could be a boomerang for them.

To play under pressure like that could bring chaos at the back as they focusing on attack, unless they found an early goal. I've seen how conte playing style works since he was in Juventus and spent 2 years at chelsea.

Yeah, it may all work fine for Barcelona. Barca plays entirely different football in the absence of Messi, players take more initiative and midfield try to open defensive line rather than giving ball to Messi outside the box and hope he will take that to penalty area.
As far as I remember, Messi was unable to play 2 champions league games last season, both of those were also against Inter Milan. But players like Dembele, Coutinho and Rafinha took charge and played pretty well. And how can we forget 5-1 against Real Madrid. Players click better together when Messi doesn't play. However, that doesn't mean Barca is stronger without Messi. His presence alone is enough to win games for Barca.

It doesn't really change since few years ago indeed when the game feels like all about messi , everyone seems thinking the same thing to pass to messi and he will get the job done as usual, pretty ironic to see this eventhough nobody can deny that messi is the GOAT - alongside cristiano  - football should not played like that , i pretty enjoyed the game when the trio MSN exist , they did oustanding chemistry , produced lots of goals and mostly get done with a beauty in the proccess.

it just happened , inter milan who badly need the winning ended suffering lost to barcelona -reserve- team.

as i have warned this before, this is a boomerang for inter milan.
anybody else happy with the barcelona winning? i am sure inter milan fans pissed off with this result 

[Rikafip]

Schedule for tonight



I plan to combine  these matches:

Shakhtar vs Atalanta- gonna bet on Shakhtar , Atalanta needs win and they have to go all in, so i think there will be plenty of chances for Shakhtar to punish them.
Atletico vs Lokomotiv- Atletico needs win  here to  not rely on others  to go through next stage.
Olympiacos vs Crvena Zvezda- Olympiacos have to win this in order to continue in EL, they are better team and I am pretty sure they will win.

Usually i would bet on City as well, but i can't bet against my own team, so just gonna skip that.

[Furious 7]

Dinamo Zegreb vs Manchester City
Bayern Munich vs Tottenham
PSG vs Galatasaray
Liverkusen vs Juventus

From these 4 matches I will choose the ones marked in black,
I am sure this will be a perfect victory in their bet or club, despite the frequent turn of events but I am sure the big team will try to win.

[mu_enrico]

It hurts against Barcelona's reserve players, Inter Milan find it difficult to score and end up losing at home. I really did not expect that.

Yeah, I also didn't expect that result. I thought at least Inter could manage to get a draw.
Whatever, got knocked out from UCL will benefit them in the domestic competition, hence they would have a slightly higher chance to become Serie-A champion.

Careful for today's matches guys. There will be a bunch of reserves that could make unpredictable results.
