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

[qomariah95]

I'm very sure a lot of fans will place their bets for Madrid to qualify, and looking at the odds for Madrid to go through the the QF, you can consider it to be a good stake, I've been discussing with friends in the past few weeks and everyone of them seems to think Madird has what it takes to overturn the advantage city has over them and go through to the QF; but I'm still standing by by words, which I've been expressing on this thread for months now, I'm going with City on this game, Real will have to be exceptional to eliminate City, they must also try as much as possible to ensure peps men don't score, I can't see Madrid doing all that; I'm rooting for city to go all the way to the final this year.

Happy with those of you who still support Man City in order to qualify for QF. But unlike me, I've placed a bet on Real Madrid. As we know, anyone can qualify for the next round. But it is Real Madrid who deserve to qualify, hopefully the game will be interesting.

Manchester City is actually the favorite to be the champion

^snip

I don't think they will pass vs Real 

this table is going to be changed after this round, Juventus and Manchester City are questionable to pass into next round

match between Manchester and Real will skip for betting, maybe just goals to enjoy watching, but will put something on Juventus - Lyon under2.5, Lyon will play defensively, while one goal could put them into next round

[notblox1]

Two interesting matches in Champions League today:
Juventus vs. Lyon (first leg result 0-1)
Manchester City vs. Real Madrid (first leg result 2-1)

Juventus is well rested for this game, and they played with reserves in SeriaA.
They are amazing at home and they must win here or coach Sarri may be sacked.
C.Ronaldo is ready and Paulo Dybala may return after thigh injury.
Odds are not great, but I will go with Juve Home win here, and  more risky C.Ronaldo to score.

Manchester City has 2:1 score from previous match, but I don't understand this odds.
Real Madrid should not be underestimated and they had more time to rest and prepare for this match.
My prediction: Double Chance draw or Real Madrid
Safer bet would be AsianHandicap.

I think these are two great matches, definitely worth watching.
I just hope that the teams do not close in defense, because from the viewer's point of view it becomes boring..
anyway, i see power, quality, creative in football in these match

[DeathAngel]

Juventus vs Lyon - I think Juve will overturn the deficit of the first leg, they know how to win at this stage of the competition. CR7 is ready.

Man City vs Real - City should advance but there is a sneaky suspicion Real will pull-off a surprise.

everyone has been talking shit about juventus for the past few weeks (they were playing really bad in serie A), but let's be honest, we have to back them tonight in our bet slips, you can't help it, it's Juventus, Cristiano, Dybala, Bonucci, etc...they have to show up tonight and get the job done. So here's my ticket:



no way they're gonna get KO'd in the RO16 against a bunch of nobodies, right? there's NO way 

[gabbie2010]

Juventus playing at home is a big plus for them I am fully in support of them overturning the outcome or result of the first leg although soccer analysts are skeptical about their dismal performances lately in serial A having some losing streaks lately I believed the team having won the league took a steam off and performed at below par however UCL is a different ball game the players knew that, they will throw in everything to ensure wining the second leg

With De Ligt and Bonucci, Juventus have good defenders at the centre and those guys can also score goals from corner kicks. Their forwards and strikers (Dybala and Ronaldo and some others) have some days to rest because they did not join the last match in Serie A. Will the sacrifice in Capocannoniere get good results for Juventus in the match with Lyon?

CR7 does not have much time left to play at highest level so he will try best to beat Lyon and win the first Champions League with Juventus.

Man City vs Real - City should advance but there is a sneaky suspicion Real will pull-off a surprise.

 I've got a bet on on Real (odds:4.00), using p2p sports betting bot based on smart-contract inside  Obyte wallet. This is my first use of this bot and should confess  all procedure was straight forward,  Hope both Real and bot  will bring me the luck.

Juventus have to work hard in this match versus Lyon because they were 1 goal behind in the first leg. If Juventus want to qualify for the next round then they have to win the match 2-0 which mean they have to attack and defend well.
Ronaldo is a man who is very enthusiastic, he will work hard to maximize the end result. But without the support and contribution of all the other player, the result might not be good for Juventus. Lyon might surprise them again and it is still possible in football.

My picks for tonight:

Juventus vs Lyon - Draw
Manchester City vs Real Madrid - Man City

Finally, Champions League is back! It's bad that both games are starting at exactly same time. I am going to watch MC vs RM, what about you guys?

Not sure I can watch it unfortunately, will just follow it live but City vs Real should be a good one to watch tho!
I think City and Lyon will pass to the next round

my picks for tonight are:

I basically rely on the table of possible winners (made by the bookmakers) plus some of my personal reflections about soccer (experience)

of course i can think wrong

I would go with other picks for tonight's matches.
I believe that Juventus is going to win Lyon easily and Real is going to dominate Manchester City.
Real has a good morale after winning the La Liga title and they will try their best in this match.

[hd49728]

my picks for tonight are:

Juventus vs Lyon - Juventus
Manchester City vs Real Madrid - Manchester City

I choose Juventus and Real Madrid. Juventus has their best squad for now except injuries players and they have wanted to win Champions League, their first one in 21 st century. Ronaldo want to win and go ahead too. They will win and go to quarter final.

Manchester City has better advantages from first leg result to their squad for the match. Without Sergio Ramos, the defense system of Real will be damaged and decreased in quality. Anyway in football everything can happen and Real Madrid can make us surprise as they did in La Liga after its resume.

[RapTarX]

I guess everyone is underrating Madrid. C'mon mates. Madrid isn't such bad team. Well, they may not qualify since the equation isn't so easy but I guess they will win. I will be risking my money on Madrid certainly.

Finally, Champions League is back!

[dwminer1]

Juventus - Lyon: 1
Manchester City - Real Madryt: X
I have no doubts about Juventus' victory. They have a better, more experienced team than Lyon and have just finished the season in which they won another Serie A championship. Since March, Lyon have played one, lost match by stakes. They will certainly not be in optimal shape for this meeting.
The game in Manchester is going to be much more interesting. Real needs a victory to advance, City will be satisfied with a draw. This is also the result I bet.

[Josefjix]

For Juventus to qualify and win a UCL trophy they truly have to stop playing like an amateur team in Spanish divison B; they were a bit relaxed in the first leg Lyon dominated them from the very first time they could find the back of the net. The only advantage they have over Lyon in tonight's encounter is the presence of Ronaldo.

Key points for tonight's Juve's favour.
1. Home stadium
2. Experienced defence
3. They are Italian champions once more
4. They wouldn't want to repeat last year's mistake with Ajax.



Good luck to the better team.

my pick today = Juventus and Man City...
Today I have full faith in Juve, even though at the moment they lost on aggregate to Lyon but I'm sure Juve will be able to turn things around and win 2 points in today's match. go go juve.

[AakZaki]

~snip~ They already won the first match against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 but what happens if more cases appear and their team has to go into quarantine? There has been a similar case at the FC Zürich. They were forced to send their U21 team into competition and lost their next match 4-0 in the league. If Basel has to face the same scenario that could destroy their perfect position from the first match.

It's a bit unfair in my opinion, and this match is against fair play. Better not to have a match take place or be postponed until everything is safe. Life safety is more important. European level matches feature clubs from various states and this has a greater risk of contracting the Covid 19 virus.
