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

Can we all agree that Varrane is a player that should be in LaLiga 2 or 3 ? Because this player never had any real value and is just a bet of Zidane because he is a french player. I understand that you're at Real and you cannot substitute a player when he makes mistakes but lets be honest , this player costs Real Madrid game tonight and I hope he will never ever be used at my favorite team.

Juventus is only build on Ronaldo right now and I think he will leave this summer for a surprise ( maybe a United comeback ). Also why did Dybala play ? He barely stood on his feet...

[arallmuus]

For Real , Benzema is the only one that seems to be doing well in attacking area. He is finding positions to score and doing good so far. Loving the way Benzema is playing this season.

Hazard wasnt doing anything great on this match either. You could say that Benzema carry the whole Real Madrid squad this season with 21 goals, only 4 goals difference compared with Messi. Too bad they lose on this round to Manchester City. City was simply better this season

He was decent and for a club like Real Madrid, Decent is definitely not enough but there werent many players that could hold the backline anymore especially with Sergio Ramos missing because of the Red Card


Any reason on why Marcelo wasnt playing tonight? too bad though

Final results:
Juventus vs Lyon 2:1 (Aggregate: 2-2)
Manchester City vs Real Madrid 2:1 (Aggregate: 4-2)

Again all home wins, but it was not enough for Juventus to progress even with two goals scored by C.Ronaldo. Both bets won for that match.
Deserved win for City, and I expected more from Real Madrid, maybe a draw

More Champions League playoff matches tomorrow.

yeah, with two home teams as clear favorites, and ten home wins in both European competitions in a row
one has to let down, maybe Bavarians, since they do not need a win against Chelsea, that is already solved, will put something on x2, although Chelsea has a bunch of players that are injured or with cards for tomorrow

[snipie]

As expected City and Lyon to the quarter final! Too bad for Juventus, Madrid and their fans

For tomorrow's match, I think it will be another easy bet for Bayern Munich and Barcelona to win, hopefully.

Bayern is rocking in Bundesliga and with 3-0 advantage, it relatively easy for them to pass to the next round but also to win tomorrow's match.
For Barcelona, I am a bit worried. They have the motivation to achieve something this season but their performance isn't good...at all... They have only the 1 goal advantage and maybe, maybe if Messi will be in very very good condition he can do something. That's all.

This result is in accordance with predictions, previously I was sure Manchester City would still win the match despite winning 2-1 in the first leg. Regarding Juventus, not sure about winning but in fact Juventus won in this second leg but still, winning 2-1 still didn't make Juventus go to the next round because of the aggressiveness of the away goals. For tomorrow's match, I think it will be another easy bet for Bayern Munich and Barcelona to win, hopefully.

For Bayern Munch its ok but for match between Barcelona vs Napoli this is not easy as Barcelona is also facing some serious troubles so this match can go either way in this match over is good bet as both teams able to have some good players so few goals can happen and over is winner.

[boltz]

I this aswell with tomorrow game between Napoli and Barcelona and a lot of tipsers are going with Napoli so I guess I'm going against them with a 3+ Barca goals. On the other game , Bayern will win and probably will reach finals this year or even win the UCL but I would not exclude City too.

Varane entering the Manchester City dressing room  



Though it's not the result I wanted but i saw it coming. Varane wasn't confident tonight. I guess Ramos' absence had so much effect on him, and he sold us out right from the first Manchester City Goal

[Renampun]

this has to be Juventus worst night in europe since idk when but it has to be among the biggest upsets

Juventus and my Real Madrid KO'd from the CL in the same night  

tomorrow, Napoli to Qualify and Bayern to WIN? sounds like a good ticket for a parlay, no?

poor juve... 
in the first minute when Memphis scored for Lyon I was limp to watch the game. Ronaldo did well in this match scoring 2 goals but Lyon was luckier, congratulations to Lyon for progressing to the next round.

Did you know ..
Real madrid's last 7 champions league games in knock-out stage without ramos : 5 lost , 1 draw and only 1 won.
Now it's 6th with 2-1 down to Manchester City, terrible form. They might will make another transfer saga in the next transfer window, as this result of course fuming .

For now Manchester City is the top candidate to win Champions League.. even sportsbetting providers put Bayern Munich below them.

Can Manchester City go all the way?

I also feel the same way, when Depay managed to score a goal from a penalty kick I was hopeless. Even though Juventus has
played very well by winning the match, but his previous match won by Lyon. Made Juventus must fail, because they lost on
aggregate from Lyon.

I didn't get the chance to watch the match due to terrible connection, but after seeing statistics it looks like Man City totally dominated which did not surprise me as Real Madrid is in bad form and they won the title without playing football, doing it on individual quality. You can't do it only on individual quality against Man City.

It they don't find form magically I don't see them going through.

Without Dybala, Ronaldo got troubles to connect with his partners in front and Higuain has another bad performance in important match. In my opinion, Juventus deserve to go through because the penalty for Lyon looks to be wrong decision. I don't understand why with VAR, the referee still decided to give Lyon that penalty. Without VAR, I can understand but ...

Without Ramos, Real Madrid has a weak defense system and Man City took mistakes of Varane so well. They can even score more goals.

[Naida_BR]

Unexpectedly Juventus is disqualified and Lyon passes to the next stage.
The French team played very well and the early goal was a savior for them...
Depay needs to move to a bigger club.

I understand you're mad at him but it's sport and mistakes happen.
He is a very good player otherwise he wouldn’t be at Real.
Football also makes mistakes and this time Manchester City was better.
Next time Real will be better.

For Barcelona, I am a bit worried. They have the motivation to achieve something this season but their performance isn't good...at all... They have only the 1 goal advantage and maybe, maybe if Messi will be in very very good condition he can do something. That's all.

Not to mention Bayern won 3-0 away. Chelsea needs a miracle to get to the next round. Bayern is too stable, and too good to give Chelsea a chance, however the Londoneers can win the game. They've been in good form the last few weeks.
With Barcelona against Napoli I see the result open. Napoli played another very good season, while Barcelona disappointed. The first leg gives both teams the chance to get to the next round. I bet on draw or win of Napoli (odds 2.23 at the moment).

[buwaytress]

It wasn't to be at all, was it now? I actually ended up not watching the games, had some infernal thing to deal with, so I was updated the scores. Lyon actually held on, wonderful for the underdog, that precious away goal from Depay wow.

Reading the headlines, seems City is no longer "overawed" by Champs League but I have to say, this wasn't a vintage team put out there either, judging from the starting lineup.

Have an all-favs parlay still alive. Much of the same tonight?

Real were embarrassing, was Varane high? Never seen him play so badly, he gifted City both goals. I guess it shows how important Ramos is, they literally fell apart at the back without him. City have effectively got a pass into the semi finals now. Lyon finished 7th in France, I know they have some talent but they’re not great.

[qomariah95]

Bet on Real Madrid and hope to win. And finally I lost again. Today I was back betting on Bayer Munich, even though Chelsea are in good form. I hope today's match will make me win in betting. And for Barcelona - Napoli, it looks like it's an even more difficult match. because both of them will fight together and for defense, Napoli is definitely superior.

[coinlocket$]

Agnelli spoke yesterday and he said, "we will take some days, we will talk if we will continue in this direction" and other stuff.

He said as CR7 will stay, Paratici and Nedved will stay, nothing on Sarri so he is on the list of possible people in the firing list.

He also said he wants younger people in the team.
