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

[Trofo]

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.

+1
I am thinking Atalanta style of football will be areal surprise for PSG side and that they will have hard time adapting to it being used to be the ones attacking all the time. Should be goals on both sides and I am excepting Atalanta to secure at least a draw. My bet for today is both to score and Atalanta not to lose @2.6

And it is easy to root against PSG since they are such artificial squad. Don't know why that bothers me so much more in PSG case than in Man City case

Interesting match in champions league today Atalanta vs Paris SG, as this teams never played each other before.
I am not sure how PSG will play after five months break in their league, and few players will not play here including Di Maria.
Odds suggest that PSG is favorite but I am not so sure.
Atalanta finished Seria A in thirs place and played great with most goals scored (98) and best attack in Seria A.
They have 3 injured players including important Ilicic, but Zapata and Muriel will be enough in attack.
I expect to see goals today

I think Atalanta will have the edge here so my bets will be:
Asian Handicap Atalanta
Atalanta Win
Atalanta to Qualify
risky bet - Zapata to score

agree on this one, but it bothers me for both sides, PSG, Man City, although City was a well known club even before money pumped into them

nevertheless, do not expect much from Atalanta tonight, and will put PSG to win, do not expect much from PSG either, but at this moment, they are far better from Atalanta that is in form down-slide, and their season is already over from my point of view

very important point in the match will be if Mbappe does not start, that could leverage some aspiration for Atalanta, and we could see a score turnaround from losing at half to PSG win at the end

If PSG won't be careful and get conceded goal in early minutes, they might be shocked by what Atalanta can do. The defense system of PSG is not good and Marco Veratti will miss the match that can cause troubles for PSG too. Atalanta don't have anything to lose in their first season in Champions League and PSG might fall into panic game like in the match with Barcelona years ago.

Mbappe comes back to training but I don't think he will be ready to start a match.

^  Mbappe prolly has 10 minutes in him...  Maybe less.  Tuchel can't risk injuring him again.  Then again, PSG could be sand bagging. 

What do you guys think of Neymar anytime to score at 1.88.  Still value?  It was at 2.15ish a few days ago.

Neymar any time, yeah those odds are OK. I think PSG will win but I’m supporting Atalanta myself. Maybe Tuchel will start Mbappe on the bench, if they need him late on though it wouldn’t surprise me if they throw him on, it’s the end of the season & the biggest prize of all is on offer.

Neymar have not scored that often in the last CL matches, what makes you believe he will score this time against one of the best defenses of the Italian A Series at this low odds   I would be too risky for me and would rather go for a win of PSG at 1.99.

[masulum]

50:50, i think both of Atalanta or PSG very hard to make a decision for betting now. Atalanta new comers with good local record in the last 2 season. PSG become a favorite in this matches but Atalanta can give something that makes PSG shocked.

For me, I will be happy to see Atalanta to the next stage than Juventus from Serie-A clubs. 🤣

[el kaka22]

I know it is easier to root against PSG however they are still far superior team there, Atalanta has played some good football this year and it is a wonder how they have come thus far, however it is still PSG right there, it is impossible for me to bet on Atalanta when PSG is right there for me to bet.

I am going to go in on it a bit, I am not going to go all-in or anything with my bankroll, I know there is still some risks involved, and I understand that Atalanta could beat PSG since this is football and anything could happen. However I can't in good conscience risk my money by putting it on Atalanta over PSG, at the very worst case I could maybe do a draw, but even that doesn't look like possible to me. Hence I am going to just go with PSG even though I do not root for them.

[Ulven]

I think tonight's match Atalanta will be fateful, as we know Paris has a group of distinguished players, who can score beautiful goals!!!! If Atalanta is looking to reach the semi-finals, they must win tonight by two goals to ensure qualification.

[Captain Corporate]

 I have said it before I will say it again, I believe the finals will be between City and PSG. It will be PSG because they haven't played in their league and they are fresher and not as tired as the other teams and they are definitely very talented and they could beat any team on the right day if they are playing %100 of their game. It will be City because they are punished from Champions league next year and even year after that so if they want to win the champions league now they have to work very hard for it, otherwise they will need to wait at least 2 years to even compete let alone win.

 Who will be between those two? I do not know, that will be yet to seen however they are definitely going to be in the finals if you ask me, obviously this is a prediction and not a guaranteed thing, I could be very wrong, both teams could end up losing next games and get eleminateed without even going to semi finals, however my prediction stands with them in the finals.

You should have watched the match between Lyon and PSG , many players were forced out with slight injuries. Thiago Silva, Kurzawa and Icardi were the ones who were getting medical attention after they were substituted. It was two weeks ago though but still I don't think all of those players are 100% fit.

Atalanta on the other side is a very good side. They even have very dangerous players on their bench. One of them is Muriel who have come from the bench most of times and has 18 goals to his name in Serie A which is crazy. However absence of Ilicic is a bit worrying for the side.

This will be the first official match between Atalanta and PSG.
Atalanta's only precedent against a French club in European competition was against Lyon in the 2017/18 Europa League group stage
- drew 1-1 in France
- and won 1-0 at home
I hope..

Dunno...  That's why I was asking everybody.

Anyway, yeah..  So no value on Neymar.  And rather than a straight bet on PSG, what about something like match bet PSG and over 2.5 goals combo at 2.55 or even the double chance for PSG and over 2.5 at 2.02?

I've been playing around parlays and combos and been trying different things to see what works.

Yeah, I read about Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko rumoured as Positive, but from the latest news on dailymail.co.uk, both of this players test results as negative. If this true, so no one players have corona in atletico now. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8611357/Atletico-Madrid-fear-two-players-tested-positive-coronavirus-infected-stars.html

If true,  it is good news. This will have an effect in the match against Leipzig, Atletico will play calmly, because their players are intact. In addition, I hope Atletico will be able to give a surprise to the final party. Since 2014, Atletico have always reached the quarter-finals and even the finals in 2013/2014, 2015/2016. Even though in 2018/2019 they were only able to enter the top sixteen. This is a good provision for Atletico this season. Even though it's difficult because if win against Leipzig, PSG or Atalanta have been waiting for it.

[webtricks]

It's funny how Atalanta didn't even play a single game in last 10 days but odds on Atalanta have been increased from 2.5 to 3.5 on all major Betting Platforms. Mbappe's injury and Atalanta's hot Serie A run had almost made them favorites for the match.

But that fixture against Inter have changed the story. Also Mbappe is fit and may get some minutes if PSG will be in danger. Thirdly, unavailability of Ilicic. Considering everything, I think PSG gonna get past them easily. Anything above 2 for PSG is good odd and definitely worth betting. I am in.

Although Atalanta has two goals deficit whoever anything can happen in any UCL match at this stage recalled Juventus vs Lyon analysts and soccer pundits predicted Juventus to win that tie while parading stars like Ronaldo, Dbala etc however they crashed out thanks to away goal rule so also Man city, analysts might have rated Atalanta as the underdog in today match meanwhile PSG has some backlog of injured players Mbappe coming out of injury to play today might not have reach his fitness level.

[Fatemablabla]

This Season:
PSG: 47 matches 133 goals total
Atlanta: 46 matches 114 goals total

It would be a match of attack vs attack for both teams. But PSG has the chance to win the match I think. Both teams will miss their important players in this game. For PSG they are Mbappe. Dmaria, Veratti. For Atlanta it's their main player JOSIP ILICIC .

Let's hope for a great match. My prediction: PSG- 3- Atlanta -2

Hmm, I never saw it at 2.5, it's always been above 3/1, and hardly really swinging much in the week since I've seen, so you must have been viewing it as soon as odds come up! I generally like to bet on the favourite way ahead of the match, and then spread my betting on the underdog also way ahead where the swings can be really huge, and you know that injuries are only affecting odds on favs.

PSG brittle, surprised to see a lot of Atalanta backers tonight. Crowd intelligence or crowd idiocy?
