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

I’m predicting these outcomes (winners in bold)

Atalanta vs PSG
Leipzig vs Atletico
Barcelona vs Bayern
Man City vs Lyon

I think only Psg and Manchester City can be called like almost sure wins.I see many people prefer Bayern over Barcelona but I think Barcelona will win here as they have better players for me compared to Bayern if we compare the players individually.If Barcelona plays the football they are used to not even Bayern stand a chance against them.

There are little people thought Lyon will be able to beat Juventus but they did. In the crazy year, and crazy, unprecedented season, what if we see the following clubs in the semi final:
Atalanta
Leipzig
Bayern
Man City

And will we see a final match between 2 from 3 clubs: Atalanta, Leipzig, Man City? It will bring us back to the day when Porto with Mourinho won the final match with Monaco in 2003 - 2004 season.

PSG looks better indeed but will not call it almost sure win since Atalanta shows good performance in Serie A. Actually I am thinking of Atalanta winning this match if they performed well!

Man City have been favourites the last 2 seasons but only been to one semi final in their history, I don’t get that haha, possibly just because Pep is a good manager. I think Barca or Bayern will do it you know.

Just few days before game 2 Atletico players got positive Covid-19 tests:
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11838/12046138/atletico-madrid-confirm-two-positive-coronavirus-tests-ahead-of-champions-league-quarter-final
It's Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko. Vrsaljko isn't very important player and was injured before this, but absense of Correa is more significant factor.

tomorrow we will finally see the long awaited Atalanta psg, it seems to be the big match of the season 😅😅

Not sure is it the big match of the season, but definitely it should be interesting. Looking at odds, bookmakers gives advantage to PSG. And in last some Serie A rounds Atalanta weren't so impressive. But I would like to see PSG eliminated .

Now that's bad, but since the game will be played then well..

Atalanta after the restart was very good but it dropped some points in the latest rounds. PSG is good indeed and seems better. Unless Atalanta shows an incredible performance, PSG will win (unfortunately)!

Leipzig vs Atletico
Barcelona vs Bayern

Why do you think Leipzig can defeat Atletico, mate? I think Atletico should have a bigger chance of the match. If we look at the quality players, Atletico is still much better than Leipzig. While for the match Barcelona vs Bayern, it is actually unpredictable as both big teams with almost the same quality in their players. Although Bayern can win the match, I believe they won't be easy to win it. The match should be a tight match.

Ateltico is definitely the team with higher quality players and also more experience in UCL, but I still think Leipzig has a chance in this one. The fact that there is one leg being played and it's on neutral filed is advantageous for teams like Leipzig. The team with better performance during the day of the match is going to win. Honestly it could be any of them, it's not like Atletico is a big favorite or something.

Of course Atletico Madrid is much better in experience and quality than RB Leipzig. So I'm like most people will bet on Atletico's win.
Especially if you see Atletico Madrid's last 18 matches without defeat this makes me increasingly confident that Atletico will beat Leipzig
in the Champions League Quarter Finals.

So quarter final draws near and RB Leipzig Vs. Atletico Madrid. I am  not pretty sure who can win this match but I research on the following team and speculations from the experts regarding on their players and team play to which really go out and win in this match.

Gulasci - Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg - Mukiele, Sabitzer (c), Kampl, Angelino - Olmo, Nkunku - Schick
Out: Henrichs (ineligible), Hwang (ineligible)
Doubtful: Konate (hip), Poulsen (ankle)
Coach: Julian Nagelsmann

Atletico: Oblak - Arias, Gimenez, Savic, Lodi - Llorente, Koke (c), Saul, Carrasco - Felix - Costa
Out: Correa (ill), Henrique (ineligible), Vrsaljko (knee)
Doubtful: Partey (thigh)
Coach: Diego Simeone

Probable Line up as per https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/rb-leipzig-atletico-madrid-champions-league-live-line-ups-stats-felix-upamecano-12374.
My bet or choice will go to the RB Leipzig due to impressive sweep of winnings on last season's runner up. Besides, the team players and the probable line up too are better in my opinion.

in my opinion Atletico has more chances than PSG or Barcelona. Simeone is still a strong coach with experience in the Champions League.

I would go the other way mate, I think FC Barcelona of Spain will win this, the would be able to edge out Bayern Munich on Friday and I don't think there would be a first time champion -atalanta, Manchester city, PSG or Lyon-

Going to today's match
PSG vs Atalanta I predict a full time draw and PSG to qualify.

it is a long-awaited match, everyone is talking about it .. it has come to the fore at the expense of Real Madrid - Manchester city for this reason I say it is a big match even if it is actually not

Well, yesterday I bet second time on PSG (odd 1.87), my first bet was on a full time draw ,  odd 2.93 Let's see what will  happen, draw is preferable though Atalanta will fight until the last minute in this case.

[Lillominato89]

a draw could be feasible, both teams are devoted to attacking for the full 90 minutes and wobbly defenses, I think I'm betting on GG1ht

[casperBGD]

do not expect easy win for PSG, but do think that 1.90 is value bet, and will play it
IMO, PSG does not have the chance of winning Champions league, but they have easy road to the finals, would be wise to use it, and with Atalanta form in last few rounds of Calcio, they do not have the guts for semi-finals

Agreed, I placed the same bet as it is nice value! PSG simply has a better team than Atalanta.

I never place a bet on draws as it is too unpredictable. If you suspect that the underdog stands a chance, I would use double chance.

PSG are a good team but I don't think they are fully fit. In last Coupe de France match against Lyon many players were forced out with slight injuries. Now for today's game di Maria is out, and Veratti and Kurzawa is questionable. In last game, Lyon were pressing very hard on counter and gave PSG a difficult time so I think situation of PSG hasn't gone better so I think Atalanta has very good chance of winning.

Its a very good fixture and I am expecting good amount of goals from both sides considering how weak defense both side has.

I am rooting for Atalanta since it's their first CL and they are doing extremely well so far.
