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

[FlamingFingers]

Valencia are about starting their game in a couple of minutes,  they are playing behind closed doors Due to the fear of Corona virus being spread,  
No fan to cheer them up, loosing 4-1 at first leg,  apparently they are out,  only if the God of football is behind them to turn things around

Edit : Atlanta scored a crucial away goal,  3-4 it ended in favor of Atlanta

[JeromeTash]

This game between Valencia and Tottenham can end up with Tottenham win the match

Looking at mourinho impact in the team can go a long way and with some players coming out of injury can give a boost to the team

Are you watching the game my friend or you are just posting here for the sake?
Its RB Leipzig vs Tottenham not Valencia vs Tottenham 


There is no fuckin way Tottenham is winning this one. I know football is unpredictable sometimes but tonight Tottenham is going back home.
Just 20 minutes and RB Leipzig is already leading by 2 goals with another one getting disallowed.

Look at this shit poster!

Spurs are playing Leipzig in Germany & Valencia are at home to Atalanta. Spammers aren’t appreciated in the gambling sub.

yep, Atalanta scored twice in first half, both goals from penalty spot, now it is too hard for Valencia to pass through, they need six goals, or five more to the one that is already scored, it will be unbelievable

Valencia - Atalanta 3:4. It was very strange game. Both teams played without defence and almost every their mistake cost them goals.  And it's very strange to watch game without spectators. It feels like pre-season friendly game.
I expected Leipzig to win, but not so big. It seems that current Spurs aren't capable to fight against top teams.
It was boring matchday. But tomorrow we will have two great games with lot of drama.

[tomahawk9]

I would expect them to sit back for like 75 minutes, to not give Leipzig (and especially Werner) any space.

And the opposite happened. Right off the bat, Spurs were the attacking team and it caught me off guard because i also expected Mou to take a defensive approach and rely on counter attacks. Unfortunately, that all-out attack strategy only lasted about 10min, Spurs can't defend for shit and paid the ultimate price over and over again.

Can't put the blame on Mou, there's not much he can do if the players are not up to the task in such a crucial match, plus the guy lost way too many key players because of injuries, really unlucky.

About the other game, a team conceding 8 goals in the Round of 16 is absolutely laughable, Atalanta made Valencia look like an amateur team. Props to Atalanta, they're having a great season so far.

Totally we have large scores after two games : Leipzig 4-0 Spurs and Atalanta 8-4 Valencia!
But tomorrow games are more interesting, waiting for the revenge of Liverpool but PSG one isn't obvious since Dortmund is a good team
Expecting +2 goals for Liverpool and a draw between Dortmund and PSG

It's the reason i didn't even watch this particular match although the match had plenty of goals in it. The noise from spectators gives some flavour to the match.

I think the Atalanta team is the dark horse in this season Champion's league and any team that goes through would just pray to avoid them.

[Rengga Jati]

I'm not surprised if Tottenham will be eliminated in this round. It makes sense that their top strikers get injured (Harry Kane and Son Heung-min). But something makes me surprising is the strategy made by Mourinho in that match. I think he forced Dele Alli to be an attacker and made the midfield lose the balance. This is why they cannot make a single goal and be conceding 3 goals. In my view, Mourinho should have another way to optimize Lucas and Lamela as attackers, while placing Dele Alli in his ideal position.

They have already been eliminated.

He tried to play Dele Alli as a false number 9 but the gamble didn't work at all. I understand why he tried to do that. They are in a complete crisis right now and i remember him trying to play Lucas too in the forward position in some Premier League games but still things did work.
They just need a natural striker right now.

Atalanta is definitely interesting team, they score a lot (15 goals just in 3 recent games). But in next round they will meet much stronger team than Valencia, and with such defence that they have, I don't think it's possible to go through the next round.

[TheAndy500]

I do not qualify for UEFA matches, but I have a question - what do you think - will be canceled or not?
It's not about provocation, but about a real question. In my opinion, many sporting situations will be canceled. What do you say?

I miss a lot of points on Atalanta, Just remember how they started in UCL. Lost against Dinamo Zagreb 4:0, then lost against Shakhtar 1:2 (home game), next is Man. City and 5:1. who could have expected something like this from them?
Leipzig is a surprise or the only Tottenham is very weak, but they look like Ajax from the previous season of UCL. We will see both of them in the next round, there are certainly no soft opponents anymore.

They are a high scoring side. They are the team with the highest goals scored in Serie A this season. They have very good attacking line. Valencia are having lot trouble this season so I made my all bets favouring Atalanta.

Yeah I agree that defence area is something that is a worrying factor but I am happy that they have made this far in their first CL appearance. They will be proud with what they have achieved so far.


Yesterday was lucky day for me...Won every bet and even got my 2nd minimum streak for Invincible Jackmate. Have Liverpool and PSG to win today. Have my doubts on PSG one so might change that but I think Liverpool are gonna come out on top in today's clash with Atletico. What do you guys think?

None of your statements actually make any sense, I guess you're just trying to fill your post requirement.. But by any means you are asking if Uefa matches will get canceled due to the outbreak of Covid-19, then there's is a possibility that some matches will be canceled especially those in countries with large cases such as italy, or probably those matches could hold at a different venue.

Valencia CF - Atalanta

Josip Iličić scored 4 goals. Well, if I had made a bet for this game I would have won.

RB Leipzig - Tottenham

I waited to see the first minutes of the game to place a bet and it was a good decision



Tottenham was crushed by RB Leipzig. it was evident that tottenham had no way of reversing the situation, I think Jose Mourinho did a lot for the current situation and congratulations.

for today's games:

Paris Saint-Germain - Borussia Dortmund

this is a game that i prefer to wait a few minutes to place any bet. Borussia Dortmund played very well at home and have good players like Håland and Sancho. If PSG manage to have a good defense and score goals they will have a chance to win. I heard that Mbappe failed training and that he might not play. that would be a very big problem for PSG

Liverpool FC - Atletico Madrid

I bet that Liverpool will win that game

In my opinion Mourinho has to be blamed as regards the team performance,  there are some key players you don't sell from a team,  the likes of Eriksen and Danny Rose comes to mind,  just 2 chances were created, out of the whole 90+ minutes, Aurier was a flop, couldn't give a decent cross, the midfield was a shamble, the defense...  ugh!


Playing Alli as a false 9 sums up the total  Shit,   Imagine Lucas Moura playing behind Eriksen, Alli and  Lamela ,  Obviously there is gonna be a goal even if they won't qualify,  Mou should be ashamed of himself not scorring a goal both on home ground and away,  he just keep feeding on the fact that his key players are injured.  He needs to change his outdated. I won't be surprise if Tottenham does not qualify for next year Champions League

It is obvious to see that Spurs cannot qualify for the champions league next season, because manchester united will complete their rot come sunday evening, if no matches are postponed.

The loss against leizpig is not acceptable, but the excuses makes it even boring to be honest, is Mourinho saying that Spurs academy do not have any striker ? Or wingers ?
He needs to man up to occasion and take unblameable risk.

Football in europe has improved and evolved.

You are under estimating Leipzig.I did bet on Tottenham yesterday on Asian Handicap +1.5 because the odd in Sportsbet was near 1.7 and I thought they may even qualify because you never know what to expect from teams of the Premier League but I was wrong.Leipzig played very well and took the command since the first half when they won 2-0,the rest was history.

Leipzig and Tottenham are two strong teams and personally I am very happy to see them both qualifying.
However, in the next phase they are going to face even more difficult teams such as PSG or Real Madrid and there they should show if they deserve to be on the top of the european ranking.
