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

Oh, and Juventus  How's Sarri still the head coach? I would've sacked his ass right in the post-match press conference...Lyon are having a pathetic season in the Ligue 1 and still they beat you and you didn't have a single shot on target..Embarrasing.

Juventus usually never sack during the season, also next week we will have Juve-Inter, but yes rumors are for a sack for next year.

Besides wait until Corona Virus passes at least, no one will go to Italy now even if they offered him to be the prime minister their lol.
A little bit serious, changing him right now will be a bad decision and will not change anything, somehow like Barca?

Real need to beat City by two clear goals to advance. I don’t think it’s going to happen, Man City will most likely win the 2nd leg & advance to the 1/4 finals.

It seems that it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win 2 goals without reply because Manchester City will be stronger at home compared to outside, I also know that Real Madrid's ambitions will continue to exist where they will play attacking and keep pressing their opponents.
If Real Madrid falls in the last 16 then it will be easier for the other groups to advance to the next round.

Were Real Madrid even favorite contenders? that their fail will make it easier for other teams? Teams Liverpool are the clubs most other clubs are scared of but won't admit it. I don't think Real can pull off the comeback many hopeful fans are anticipating especially as injury, suspension with addition to bad form is troubling Zidane boys.

No way can Real Madrid score 2 without Manchester city responding. But still, the match might even end in penalty considering Real Madrid is capable of winning with a 2-1 scoreline too and most likely win the penalty shootout. City can't be relied on especially with their uncertain home performance but as a premier league side, I just hope they display another superb performance.

Yesterday's defeat in the first leg with a score of 2-1 I think Real Madrid was able to overcome it even though it is playing on the Etihad field, well I know this match will be quite tough where mancity will dominate to survive while Real Madrid will continue to attack tirelessly for his victory .
We will see here the power of the two greatest coaches between Zidane and Pep Guardiola who is superior in winning this match because I know they have different charismatics.

What is unfortunate is that Real Madrid lost the match or lost at home. While the second leg plays at Manchester City home, we already know playing at Man City's home will be more profitable for Manchester City. It's hard to be able to comeback and it will very likely be possible too. Because the match was really difficult later.

The madrid vs city tie is still wide open.
irrespective of Ramos ban, and the 2 away goals. City are not the strongest at home in the champions league, and they have a shaky defence too.

Perhaps it would turn out wrongly for me, but i see Madrid going to the next round.

The tie is far from over, but I certainly do not think that it is wide open. And also we cannot overlook the two crucial away goals just like that. Madrid would have to score two unreplied goals inorder to advance (as the first sequence in which they qualify).
I am almost certain Manchester City would score a couple of goals at home. The question is; can Madrid score more than they would?

The Barcelona and Juventus ties are the ones I am most anticipating. There's little separating both teams and 90 exciting minutes left to be played.

about Madrid and City,80% chance to continue to the next match seems to have owned by city,i am totally disappointment to madrid which lose on their base.u know what the fun thing about it ? I decided to watch the match at a cafe, and immediately the cafe became quiet when the city got a penalty.

Well, Manchester City's chances are greater because they have excelled earlier. I think this victory will continue, let alone this will compete at the Manchester headquarters.
I think with yesterday's defeat the Real Madrid player couldn't control their emotions so they were provoked by other players who made the deciding goal a penalty, well in this second leg Real Madrid will attack it completely because they have lost. I think Madrid won just one goal at the Manchester headquarters they will qualify for the next round.

Many big clubs in the champions league have thin defeats, I am sure in the second leg match there will be many surprises, the loser in the first leg will be the winner and qualify for the next round.
I hope on the 18th there will be a lot of big teams doing great things in playing especially Liverpool have lost in the first leg I want to see them more violent in the second leg.

I think that this is only going to happen in the Juventus - Lyon game.
All other games are going to end up without any surprises and the teams that got their advantage on the first leg, will remain on the second game as well.

PSG vs Dortmund
Mancity vs Real Madrid
Napoli vs Barcelon

Of the 3 matches will have surprises in my opinion not only Lyon and Juventus, let's see what will happen with the second leg match.
I think this season CL will be full of amazing surprises.

in the second leg.. PSG, Madrid, and Juventus must really unleash their full strength,  these three big teams only lost 1 aggregate point.  Liverpool surprised me, even though they performed perfectly in the Premier league, but it looks like their performance hasn't been good when facing ATM yesterday. hopefully, they will be able to reverse the situation in the second leg later.

Liverpool, PSG and Real Madrid have a difficult 2nd round.
I think that Juventus is going to get an easy win as the 1-0 lose from Lyon is manageable.
Real Madrid sadly is going to be disqualified in my opinion.

For second leg Liverpool as a host and i'm sure they will playing better because currently they are in the good shape and made 2 goals without conceded is not impossible for Liverpool because last season they have done it even made more than 2 goals against Barcelona and although this is not easy match for them but i think Liverpool will through this match with good results

Liverpool as the hosts at Anfield certainly have the confidence to win in the second leg with Napoli by lagging behind 1 goal for Liverpool is not heavy they have to win to continue the match in the next round.
Last night Liverpool lost at EPL with Watford 3-0 I hope this will not be a trauma for Liverpool later in the champions league and they must stay focused on this prestigious league competition to become champions again this season.

Napoli in my opinion are a normal opponent and not so begging for Liverpool in the second leg.

No one here discussed about the race to the golden boot of Champions League this season.

This season is the first time after many years we see both C. Ronaldo and L. Messi fall into the bottom of the race. The two leaders are Lewandowski and Haaland. I think maybe one of them (or both) will win the golden boot this season because the rest competitors have problems with their club's situations (after the first leg). Their clubs will hardly to win and go forwards.

Messi and Ronaldo are big players but I don't see how they can come back to the race for the rest matches.

[coinlocket$]

Is still not confirmed if and if yes where Juventus will play with Lyon.

In France they started to postponed game too, the world will probably need a stop for 30-60 days.

Whereas in this second leg match at home to Juventus they expect this match to win in front of their own fans, will there be any more delays?

It looks like the Champions League has also begun to be threatened with delays again and we are just waiting for UEFA's decision in the next few days.

@tranthidung you’re right that this season Messi and Ronaldo haven’t performed well, but it’s too early to rule them out of the race to win the golden boot, and between Lewandowski and Halland I would pick the latter as he’s simply brilliant and a beast in front of the goal.

@coinlocket$ @$crypto$ though there’s no official word yet from UEFA, in my personal opinion this match will go ahead and will be played behind closed doors as all matches in Italy are supposed to be placed behind closed doors till April 3rd.

Depends, if the Italian government says "Piemonte is now added to RedZone", they will not play there.

A 30-60 days delay will be too costly,  I think will be a good  idea if they can play behind closed doors without any of their fan either on the stadium,  instead of postponing the game for such time or indefinitely, only if the clubs turned down the possibility to play behind closed doors then, they can postpone till further notice

[DeathAngel]

I don’t see how CL games can be postponed, it’s impossible because the tournament is still running in other countries. You can’t have a knockout competition where other teams are in the 1/4 final already waiting for Juve & Lyon to play their last 16 tie.

If anything happens it’ll just be restricted to behind closed doors games - As the famous saying goes - The show must go on.
