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

Lyon have already surprised many football fans this season by eliminating Juventus and Manchester City out of the Uefa Champions League, but Bayern Munich are still too strong for Lyon to handle as Lyon did not managed to create many scoring opportunities against Bayern Munich. Luckily Paris Saint-Germain are able to beat RB Leipzig and progress to the finals of the tournament, as I think it would be more interesting to watch two different top teams coming from two different countries to play against each other in the Uefa Champions League finals.

Actually they had lots of opportunities but they only remained as opportunities and none of them was converted to goals. Lyon actually did pretty good breaking the Bayern defense but they were very unlucky that day. There was this Depay one-on-one, Ekambi chance. They didn't had much attempts on goals but they whatever they had should have find the net IMO, not 3 or more but atleast 1-2 should have gone past Neuer.

This year's European Champions League competition was played in almost extraordinary conditions, without spectators, and in the form of a tournament and not a cup competition.
The fact that German and French clubs had more time to rest and prepare also played a big role.
If there had been no change in the competition system due to coronavirus and if the competition had ended in a normal way, it is unlikely that Atletico or Mamchester CIty would have lost to their opponents in two games.
In a way, UEFA only cared that this competition would end for financial reasons, but the right fans lost a lot.
Football without fans is not real football but business.

This year it is a tournament in knockout phase, no 2 leg matches as it used to be previous years. Some big leagues with their resume and fixtures put clubs and players in their nations in rushes and no doubt players don't have enough time to rest and recover energy.

La Liga, Serie A, and Premier League. Bundesliga came back sooner than three leagues and Ligue 1 ended too soon.

Now, about the final match, it is the first for Alphonso Davies, a new star in the swing back position. With the support from teammates in Bayern, I think the youth player will get his first trophy in Champions League.

Lyon should have led 2-0 after 10 minutes. They had two big chances which were miserably missed. If they had scored the two goals, it would have been very, very difficult for Bayern. So they needed a good action from Gnabry and already Bayern was leading which destroyed the strategy of Lyon. Bayern is more easily the favourite against Paris in my eyes. Nevertheless, it is an open game. I am looking forward to the match, could be one of the best finals since years.

Odds are with Bayern and that is not a surprise but I would not totally exclude PSG especially when they have player in the field like Neymar or Mbappe as this two can score goals if defenders of Bayern will play aggressive against them. Personally I just want a good final as my favorite is already in it and I do hope PSG will win this year as they're chasing UCL for so many years now...

You can't be sure with PSG's attacking line only. They are good without a doubt and I agree they are capable to penetrate their defense as well but Bayern also have much better attacking line. Perisic, Gnabry, Lewandowski is a very crazy aatacking line. Even their midfielders, defenders are very good in creating key chances enough to score goals. Question remains will PSG's defense be able to handle that attack? So far I haven't seen anything good from them.

Bayern are a much more complete package, I really think it’ll be their name on the trophy this year. Of course Neymar & Mbappe can change a game in seconds with a moment of magic but I really feel it’s Bayern’s year.

Me, too. I also support Bayern as the candidate for the winner of the Champions League this season. They have quality players in all positions, and Bayern players seem playing more solid than PSG. Moreover, I see that they play with big motivation for the trophy this season. So, I am pretty sure that they will play all out and have a bigger chance to win. Well, Neymar & Mbappe are great strikers but Bayern has good players in the defense line, especially Neuer as a goalkeeper. So, not sure that Neymar & Mbappe can be easy to make scores in the final match.

There is no doubt that Bayern is one of the best team right now.And I think they are likely to be a UCL winnier this year.But Bayern can be over confident now and because of that PSG has a chance too.One of the big problem of the Bayern team is that sometimes all the defense player left their defense and Neuer can be all alone which I have seen with Lyon.Lyon has found Neuer alone in the goal bar for 2-3 times.And I think PSG has a great defense as well as super fast Mbappe and Neymar.And they are more competent than Lyon's team.So PSG has a great chance in that occasion.If Bayern make such a defensive error like they did with Lyon than PSG is the clean winner here.

It wasn't very convenient to stuff everything so close together with competitions. Still, it is understandable, but you see that players are now more likely to get injured. I don't know if it belongs in this topic, but Koeman is now the coach of Barcelona. Hopefully he finally puts the players in the right place and makes way for the old guard for the young ones.

I just want to enjoy a competitive and entertaining football comes tomorrow. It wouldn't be easy for either of the team's defenders as both teams have great attackers and quality midfielders. Bayern are  a very deadly side as they have experienced players when it comes to UCL compare to PSG an average team. The odds are with Bayern.

Bayern is really team to watch specially after thrashing Barcelona very badly in Quarter Final and on other side PSG is playing in final first time but they done good job recently experience is really on Bayern side as they already have 10 finals before this 5 won and 5 lost its really big advantage for them in competition like this.

I think Bayern will win without any problems. Their victory over Barcelona was very impressive. While PSG almost got knocked out By Atalanta Bergamo in the quarter final.
If you ask me, I do not think PSG will have a chance against this machine from munchen.

C'mon, man. It won't be that easy to win I guess as you know it's PSG with one of the best attacks. If Bayern can do the same mistake as of the lat match against Lyon, PSG will easily have some advantage and can have early score.
It seems odd is decreasing, I have already got 3.28 I guess for PSG to win.

Comparing two Semi-finals performances, PSG surely look more appealing than Bayern as far as conviction is concerned. Bayern is no doubt a stronger team but PSG is more inclined towards winning the cup.

Only weak link in PSG lineup is midfield but Veratti is now fit and ready to play for 90 minutes. With him, Parades and Marquinhos in midfield, PSG can finally play as single unit. Defences of both teams are equally good but Forward line is where PSG can surprise Bayern. Bayern usually maintain high-line and that's where teams can catch them. With pace of Mbappe and Neymar, PSG can get couple of goals on counter which would be enough imo.

Well, if you compare the semi-finals, you have a point but why not also take the quarter finals into consideration? PSGs win over Atalanta was all but convincing while Bayern ... well, you know what they did to Barcelona. And I also don't think Bayern doesn't want to win this title as much as PSG does. Hansi Flick managed to completely transform the team (mentally) after he took over and I have no doubts can motivate them for the match tomorrow.

Where I agree with you is that Bayerns defense line looked quite shaky against Lyon with their offensive mindset. Against such a fast player like Mbappe that won't work out at all.

So overall I still think that Bayern will win it in the end. But that's just my gut feeling. What I'm pretty sure about is that we'll see a lot of goals tomorrow, probably on both side. Wouldn't even surprise me if it's 4-3 in the end or something like that. Really looking forward to the match tomorrow.

You might be right in terms of statistics, but we shouldn't forget the last match of Bayern. Destroying Barca like this has a huge psychological impact on the players. I think that everyone from the FC Bayern team will play 110% tomorrow. It feels a bit like the world cup in Brazil in 2014, when Germany beat Brazil 7:1 and then couldn't be stopped anymore. My money is definitely on Bayern for tomorrow. Anyone doing any last minute betting?

[coinlocket$]

My final call, PSG 3 Bayern 1.
Also if PSG will lose they probably will change their coach with Allegri.

Is Verrati ok now? Can he play or he is still injuried?

Neymar has an impressive stats with Bayern Munich and he is in super form and I think he cam make a difference.Bayern is a very strong and competitive team and they have a super strong attack line up but defensively they are weaker than PSG.And if PSG defense has a good team then I think Bayern will go to munich without the trophy.It would be great if march will tie and tiebreaker between keylor Navas and Neuer would be fun
