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

[Trofo]

I never thought a final could be this boring but congratulations to Bayern fans.

Really did not expect the final too end with just one goal in it. Neur had a lot to do with that scoreline as well. He didn't let them score even when Mbappe was 3 meters in offside. That move of his when he drops down and spreads his legs and even leaves a hand behind to cover shots trough legs almost defies gravity and body structure.

what are your thoughts in regards to having a "one-legged knock-out round" for next season?
^{- I did like its outcome since it forces both teams to give everything in a single match.}

It has it pros and cons like almost any rule change. I like it since it gives better chance to underdog to progress further and that is what will probably stop this change to be implemented. Bigger teams have more money and more influence and they don't like lower their chances.

Bad thing of one single leg knockout round is that it has to be on neutral ground while I like that teams have a game on home pitch with max number of home supporters attending.

yesterday due to work I missed the final, I saw that Bayern won with just one goal. a shame for PSG I was hoping so much they would win their first champions! what to say finally this champions ended after so many difficulties, and we start immediately with the new edition! football never stops

It was a boring game for me I didn't like it.
PSG didn't play well, they have 2 good chances to score but Mbappe missed and he lost the chance to bright at this final.
They were so close but he didn't played well in the game that they had to do so.

think that implementation of one match kick-out is not going to happen, and do not think that it is just that bigger teams have more money, it is simply TV rights and number of matches that could be broadcast-ed and money that could be shared by teams involved
earlier, teams had to reach final or even get the title to take more money, now that target is already shared before the season, and few matches at the end do not make a difference for each team, but will lower the total amount involved, which will not be approved by all teams

Exactly... PSG played terrible and the shots they do had they missed by miles...
Bayern won and it was an overhyped Finale which was pretty boring to be honest.

PSG's game last night was not that impressive, even I consider it just like playing in the local league in attack or the opportunity is still not as usual playing in the semifinals against Leipzig, is it possible that their metal is not strong enough because this is the first time it has entered the final so it is full of heavy pressure from Bayern Munich and paying for just 1 goal is very difficult for Neymar and his friends.

For me this final was not very satisfying in the PSG game even though it lost and Bayern Munich were already champions.

Although it does add more drama and tension to games, I'm really against it. 2 good reasons are that I want to watch as much good football as possible and also that the fans deserve to see their teams play at home in crucial games like these. Fans are a major part of the game, we have seen it now more than ever, and making it a 1-legged game at a neutral ground would take a lot from the game.

We should maybe rethink the away goal rule, but I'm 100% for 2-legged knockouts.

I agree, the game was really unspectacular, I expected so many more goals. After the last matches in semi final I thought about adding some combi bets in the final but luckily I didn't have the time in the end. Very happy Bayern won and I made a nice profit there. But yeah 3:2 game for Bayern would have been much more interesting. Poor Neymar, the expectations where just too high. Good luck next year

I dont expected much goals in the final game because every final tournament of football is always consist of dream cause both sides will after the trophy with less skills and thats why theres alot of yellow cards yesterday but every football fan understand Bayern will be the winner.

[Adwoagyedom]

Yesterday's finale was a good game however most gamblers were expecting more goals but that didn't happen. Looking at the current form of Bayern and the previous matches in the competition, one would have expected to see at least over 2.5 goals.

It was to be expected. Even last season was dull we had Spurs come through so many exciting wins in a row before the drab final. Same as Liverpool, nothing could beat the comeback euphoria of beating my team 4-0!

Finals are usually tense, although the Europa final was of much higher quality!

Exactly, we have these 2 offensive Powerhouses and I was expecting goals. I just thought it would have been a more interesting finale... I never would have thought the game would end in a 1:0 because there were many missed shots and mistakes made.
Im getting a bit tired of seeing Munich in the finale all the time to be honest.

[hd49728]

Bayern got the trophy as many people thought but they did not get it too easily. PSG did brought many challenges to Bayern and if Neymar scores in early of first half and others two partners on offense system score, Di Maria & Kylian, PSG would have great chance to get the trophy. Bayern in the final match did not have too many open opportunities in front of PSG's goal.

Bayern deserve the trophy so I congratulate them for their another 3 trophies in a single season.

Don't forget Messi's release clause is in the range of €700 million (£630m/$825m)  
Manchester City just escaped a UEFA ban after breaching the Financial Fair Play policy by a whisker. I don't think they will be looking to risk again any time soon

Yes and no.
Messi has a lot of release clauses on this contract.

He had one clause when he could leave for free in May 2020.
He will have one clause to leave for free in June 2021.

And who knows if he has more clause like the one Juventus used to take CR7 2 years ago.

[snipie]

I saw him waiting for VAR and they told him to not count it as a penalty since Coman lost control, however the defender hand was more than just touching Coman's neck and shoulder for few seconds. Thus I believe it is a penalty.

Well at the end, we haven't many goals, not both sides scored as many expected, yet Bayern won! Congratulations Bayern!

Penalties don't matter much to me,
Cards don't bother me.
Sheiks mils don't make you win
Haircut does not make you mean.

When you face a real team,
You understand, like clock swiss.
No weakness, no seam,
Only one machine there is.

Bayern is on a winning spree,
Congrats on a 6th Champions league title victory.

Highlighting the nice poem lol +1
I like the richy rich money that don't make you win. Indeed it might give you the opportunity to get the best players yet it doesn't guarantee winning a trophy!
The machine part too is very accurate, made in Germany machine is the best!!

unfortunately the finals are won by the teams that affect the most and that don't let their emotions overwhelm them, a shame for PSG to have lost a big chance, it was their first final ever. they will try again next year for sure

[babo]

yes bayern won, but I didn't like the game..it absolutely didn't give me the idea of being a champions league final
in the end it has to be a show, not a team trying to take the cup away at all costs

for me is a boring game
but congrats to bayern for the win

I agree the game was not of previous years quality for a final of the Champions League however in general was a really good game to watch at least I liked it.I feel sorry for Paris but Bayern has more experience in such events having won this competition quite some times and that was the difference who netted them the title.Paris only earned some experience which can be useful in upcoming seasons of the Champions League.

They played as terrible as against Bergamo and other teams. They just made it to the final with much luck. I am glad that PSG did not win. Bayern played the perfect season. 11 wins in 11 Champions League games, that has never happened before and shows that it is currently the best team in the world. PSG as a team is overrated. If Paris had won, it would have been undeserved.

I agree with you, Bayern was clearly better than Paris, and I suspect PSG to have reached this stage thankfully to the covid pandemia.
But how do you know Bayern is "the best team in the world" if they don't play against teams from the other continents like South America for example?

the match looked boring due to the lack of resistance from PSG...
almost 60% in 90 minutes of the game, PSG only survived. Their attacks are very ineffective and too rushed when they get the opportunity. in contrast to Bayern who are very calm, structured and look experienced.
