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

[casperBGD]

It’s not really clear to me why everyone underestimates Lyon so much.
Didn’t they beat both Juve and Manchester City?
There can be luck once but not twice.
Don’t be naive and write off Lyon again as if they have strayed into the semi-finals and have no chance.
It's a physically powerful team, with quality players and a coach and they have their chance against Bayern as well.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’d bet big money on them but they definitely have a chance.

Without luck Lyon would have not won Juve and Manchester City. In two matches, Juve and Manchester City played better and dominated the games. Lyon can win the semi-final or final matches, we don't know. Egypt (Euro 2004), Porto (Champions League), Portugal in Euro 2016 did it so Lyon can. But to say they win because they are strong or one of strongest, it is not true.

it is Greece, wasn't it?
yeah, agree, Greece was an underdog, but with a defensive football they won the championship when no one expected it, i think that they did not expect either

I am sorry for the typo that was corrected.

They moved match by match till the final match and boom Charisteas headshot brought the title to Greece. Charisteas did not have many goals after the amazing Euro championship. The Greece's captain, Theodoros Zagorakis lost his performance at his club too. Only two members, thhe central defender Traianos Dellas had some good seasons in AS Roma and the midfielder Giorgos Karagounis had some good matches in Inter Milan.

Actually, quite good odds on PSG. Leipzig ended the season almost 20 points behind Bayern and fought to get into the next season's CL until the last game.

They do have a decent team and Olmo from Dinamo transferred there so I really like them (he's a big talent), but I will take both the 1,80 on victory and 2,9 on a handicap win on PSG.

I am waiting for the line ups. If Mbappe plays from beginning I am taking PSG win for sure. If he doesn't play I am taking both to score. I will also probably take PSG to win and both to score for nice high odds and possibly even that handicap you mentioned.

Any particular reason on why he wouldnt be on the starting lineup for tonight? I dont see why PSG would put him on the bench, this is semifinal of the Champions League and Leipzig isnt a team that needs to be underestimated. Winning against Tottenham and Atletico Madrid really speaks up their quality that they are a decent team that can pull up surprises though

I love the story of underdog to reach the Final so Im going with Leipzig for tonight so some small bets just to build up some suspense while watching the game would be great dont you think so 

[coinlocket$]

Well...



The only way to make money here seems to bet on how many goals PSG will score

Should be a very easy win and I think they will also win the cup.

Any idea if Mbappè will play?

[tokeweed]

^  He'll prolly play but doubt he'll start.  I mean he could...  But why risk it?  PSG prolly has enough to win vs RBL without him starting anyway.  He'll sub for sure to get some minutes in.

I got PSG at 1.81.

If there is any gambler who is brave enough to stake a huge bet amount on Lyon, they would have made a small fortune as the odds payout on Lyon to win the match against Manchester City in full time is @12.00, Bayern Munich is one of the best team in Europe, and I truly wonder if Lyon would be able to give Bayern Munich a tough fight in the semi finals when they play against each other.

Pep's fault.  IMHO.  He was thinking too much and over adjusted.  Just check the weird formation they started with.  Lol.  I mean why do it?  They're the better side.

I think Leipzig will fight PSG. It will be a very difficult game for PSG and they need a lot of concentration, otherwise Leipzig could make a sensation.

Fingers crossed for Leipzig, nothing is impossible in life if you work hard enough & believe in yourself. They can do it but EVERYTHING will need to go their way on the night.

[Fatemablabla]

As Navas and Veratti is out from PSG squad due to injury, PSG is already in a hard position. In the last match they won from that 2saves of Navas but today he is not here to save there ass. So, one little mistake can cause a bigger issue in the defence.

On the other hand Leipzig has no pressure on them, they have nothing to loose. Will play in a free mind. So I think Leipzig has most of the chance. So I'm going for Leipzig the odds are also looking good on them.

¿?? one game away from playing their first Champions League final (prolly the last time they'll get this far in the CL) = no pressure, nothing to lose...really? 🤔

anyhow, gonna go with PSG ah -1.0 at 2.27 odds https://i.ibb.co/dWpqsW0/lego.png
gogo!! come on PSG, it's now or never!

I am waiting for the line ups. If Mbappe plays from beginning I am taking PSG win for sure.

Mbappe confirmed in the starting XI (Di Maria as well). Come, join the "PSG to win" gang over here

I go for double chance Leipzig @2.15. It's a little bit against all odds, but PSG did not convince me in the last CL matches while Leipzig showed a good team performance overall. Moreover, the coach Julian Nagelsmann is probably the most talented one in the world (nicknames Baby Mourinho and  Little Pep ). He is only 33. Much room for surprises tonight

Joined the gang, don't worry. I have both to score on few multi tickets, most of them are still live and missing only this game. Now after seeing line ups I have added PSG to win @1.89 boosted odds as Sportsbet for extra high stake, and PSG to cover 1:0 hendicap (Asian -1.5) @3.0 on Stake for medium stake.

I need 3:1 for PSG today and I'll be very happy, to make thing even better I have 3:1 for PSG score set up in CL prediction pool where I am also gunning for paid positions.

Now I just need to find a nice stream which will not glitch during the game. That one will be tough.

[efialtis]

I am on 1X - Leipzig were well able to challenge Bayern this season and I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do the same vs PSG - they have the confidence, haven't lost since February and odds for 1X are nice in my opinion.

Well Icardi out than?

This will be a demolition, 4-1 for PSG my call. They will win the cup

Neymar scored just before the end of the first half, and now score is 0:2, think that it is over for Leipzig, will probably be more goals in their net, i presume we could see 4,5 goals from PSG

[efialtis]

Very very poor performance by Leipzig and they can be happy it’s not 0:5 at HT. PSG totally dominating and I really can’t see Leipzig coming back.

[Harkorede]

It's 3 goals and barely 15 minutes to go! Di Maria came back to the squad at the perfect moment for PSG, He was involved in all 3 goals, I just hope he keep fits for the final, should be a match to watch PSG vs Bayern  Except Lyon are able to extended their upset streak  to 3 games.

Leipzig is KO'ed by PSG which is obviously better, it is barely the end of the game and 3 goals shut a German final match dream for some people and tomorrow, Bayern will confirm normally that there will not be a French final match either 

[LTU_btc]

Don't know how about you guys, but I expected something more from Leipzig. Maybe not to win against PSG, but give them challenge. But they were completely outplayed and PSG were able to score much more. I didn't wanted to see PSG in the final at all. Not a fan of Bayern, but I hope they will take trophy.
BTW, does anyone make bets on Champions league qualifiers? I took Dinamo Brest win against Astana @3.4 and Crvena Zvezda- Europa over 4.5 @2.15. Easy money
