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

[tyz]

So far, my bet is working out for under 3.5 goals. Hope it comes down to two more goals at the most. If the match goes on like this, I'm hopeful.

Accept my condolences mate, the game was above 3.5 goals -you must have known this- not really the team many thought would score the remainder of the goals. In between over 3.5 was a better bet in that match

Thank you! Well, in halftime, it did not look like that there will be more than two goals in second half. In the end I just lost the bet by a narrow margin, while others lost their bet heavily (e.g. win of ManCity at very low odds or a victory of ManCity in both halves).
I have good balance management, so it's no big deal for me. Other bets in the last weeks worked very well, so I still have a nice gain on a monthly basis

It's something incredible what Lyon did. That crazy Sterling miss is still in my eyes . And I just remind that Lyon haven't managed to qualify to Champions league through Ligue 1.
But after all, I don't see any team which can stop current Bayern.

Sterling and Gabriel Jesus poor play, wasted several golden opportunities. Making Manchester City fall from the Champions League.
I am among those surprised that Lyon can beat Manchester City, I think Lyon is lucky to have such a good striker like Moussa Dembele.
Only played 15 minutes but managed to enter 2 goals against Manchester City. I agree with you about Bayern will win trophies Champions
League this year.

We have 2 underdogs in the semi-final. Tell me what the odds for these underdogs to win this prestigious competition? I have no idea what's going on.

For Lyon before the tourney started, they were 100/1 to win at least, I remember that very well. Can't remember what it was for Leipzig but Lyon and Atalanta were regarded the tourney's whipping boys.

Against Juventus they were about 4/1, and last night they were 13/1, so yeah if you'd bet on that parlay already you'd be up 52/1, I actually was counting the odds so far and value for tourney winner wasn't as good, but I guess that's because you're betting on progression, either through extra time or penalties or outright wins.

Bayern had one hand on the trophy IMO even if City had progressed, judging from form and performance, but this one is now theirs to lose.

City has made my betting profitable two seasons in a row. The sad thing is now bookies won't be giving their opponents such shitty odds nexts season, boo.

The miss of Sterling gave me opportunity to watch Youtube video for his some misses like that. Easy works in front of open goals like hard work for Sterling. He proves it many times.

Bayern is strongest and have their due chance to win the Champions League but in football everything can happen. Like Egyt in Euro 2004, Porto with Mourinho. No one knows and Champions League is the league for moments. Every mistake can be charged with irreversible cost.

The video in the break between two halfs of Barcelona vs Bayern shows Messi is not a strong guy mentally to lead a team. He is a talented guy and the greatest one in latest few decades but not a good captain. Barca need a captain like Puyol.

Who would have thought that ATM will lose to Leipzig and Man city to Lyon? At least I couldn't even guess that. Hence, the odd was too good but I think not much people had looked onto this. Do we have anyone here who win the bet on both of these matches?

City has made my betting profitable two seasons in a row. The sad thing is now bookies won't be giving their opponents such shitty odds nexts season, boo.

Man, city just have ruined me. Have lost a lot of amount yesterday night. I now fear to bet on Bayern even

Bayern & PSG must not take Lyon & Leipzig lightly, we’ve already seen big upsets in the CL this season. If Bayern & PSG stay full focused in their semi finals though they should advance.

Bayern Munchen is much stronger than all the remaining team in this competition. I am sure if Bayern can reach the final then they will win. I am looking forward to Bayern Munich playing against PSG in the final and it will be a great game. Hopefully

I think all the remaining team have a chance of winning by the time they reach the final. The final score determines who is the best and the champion. Bayern proved that they are potential candidates for the Champions League this season after scoring multiple goal versus Barcelona. But they also cant underestimate Lyon, which previously also beat Manchester City.

[kawetsriyanto]

Semi finals
Bayern - Lyon
PSG - Leipzig

the hell? are these europa league games??? 😂😂

Lol. Well, yeah Lyon and Leipzig are two clubs that most people never expect to qualify on the semi-final stage. But they can show to people that playing football isn't always about superstars and the big name of players but how to play solid as a team. Don't underestimate them, mate! They surely have the same chance to go to the final match. Sometimes to play without high pressure, it can be more effective than playing with too much expectation. I guess Bayern can win the trophy, but who knows! Lyon and Leipzig can surprise us anytime. 

[SFR10]

Will Pep ever win a CL again with a club other than Barcelona?

Only if he signs Messi

Man, city just have ruined me. Have lost a lot of amount yesterday night. I now fear to bet on Bayern even 

Don't be, they're a consistent team ^{[unlike man city]}.
^{- If you lose a bet, don't come back hunting me}

Bayern proved that they are potential candidates for the Champions League this season after scoring multiple goal versus Barcelona. But they also cant underestimate Lyon, which previously also beat Manchester City.

I think they're one of the few teams that choose to not underestimate any team until the very last second ^{[judging by their tactics after scoring a few goals]}.
I have a feeling that it might be an all german final this season...
^{- It's amazing how RB Leipzig was founded in 2009 (progressing in Germany year after year) and now, they're in Semis of UCL.}

A lot of Manchester fans of both City and United will have been ruined over the weekend. And guess, of course, who is very happy, winning first Lyon then Sevilla;)

@SFR10: Absolutely agree with you on Bayern but City were a steamroller but even last season you could still be in profit consistently betting against them -- they only lose 4 times in the league but each loss, the underdog was 25/1 or more! Bayern also lost 4 times in Bundesliga, so I'd argue they were as consistent as City ever were, and with arguably fewer tough opponents. Lyon at 12/1 vs Bayern (roughly the same odds against City) to me reflects this thinking but I think that is hugely undervalued, they should be 20/1 to win because you're right. Bayern don't like sitting back however many goals up there are. Power, pace, air superiority. And using all of that every minute of the game. Phew.

Guardiola always makes one mistake at the quarterfinals stage and above. For some reason, he always enters the field with a new system of play in these matches. He conducts an experiment and loses every time.

[babo]

One word about barcellona: taking 8 goals was a real humiliation.
It's a scar that stays with you for life.. if you are a real champion.

This champions is really abnormal, but is funny - I like that there is a change of teams arriving in the final, otherwise it becomes boring

I do have to agree with this. City's starting 11 was really defensive, I can't remember the last time I saw them play in a similar lineup. De Bruyne was the only offensive player in their midfield.

Sterling really missed a sitter for 2-2 and City did create some good chances, but fair play to Lyon - they are really taking advantage of the 1-legged format. First Juve and now City - clearing the way for Bayern.

Only Madrid has won the Champion League three time in a row in the last 10 year. I dont think its boring because they deserve it of the highest quality. For this season I am very confident that Bayern will win this competition with the hope of meeting PSG in the final. It wouldnt be interesting if the two team that were able to reach the final came from the same league.

Every Champion league tournament constantly generate new drama and surprises but Barcelona shocking lost was already foretold before the start of this season Champion league but the abnormal part is that it was more than expectations.
@ShowOff, you seem to be overconfident because Bayern has the habit of underestimating their opponents when they outshine others and this habit may lead to their expensive mistakes.
What do you think about tomorrow's game RB Leipzig vs PSG?

lol at the hunting
No seriously if Bayern will lose against Lyon, which is very unlikely to happen, I am pretty sure that people will avoid betting from now on in this crazy year called 20/20, KO'ed us all!
The other game between PSG and Leipzig is in the other hand tricky.

so you are opting for a German final match between Bayern and Leipzig (would not be a first German final, and previous with Borussia, Bayern has won)

for me, PSG should do the job in semi-final, Leipzig does not have much chance to reach final, and Lyon could put some stones in Bavarian wheels, but it will be hard to pass through, although not impossible, i could even seen Cherki as one of new wave top football players, for the next decade, maybe he can prove that earlier, on Wednesday for example

After that match, Lewandowski transfered to Bayern and built up his career like one of the greatest striker in the Europe. In that season, Lewandowski had a poker in the match with Real Madrid. In my opinion, have a Germany derby in final match will make Bayern easier to win Champions League. We know how Bayern dominate the Bundesliga and any team in Germany feel pressure when they play against Bayern.

Same situation for Lyon but they have higher chances to win PSG because the mentality of PSG in Champions League has never been strong enough.

[cryptofrka]

Bayern and PSG have to be considered as strong favorites for the final. However, we have seen many surprises so far - especially since there's only 1 game being played.

I'd say Bayern is a favorite for the title, they look way better than remaining teams. PSG has a really strong offensive lineup but Bayern is better overall.
