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

[hilariousetc]

We are all talking about Messi. But apart from Messi, 4 more star players of Barcelona will not play against Dynamo Kyve today. They are -  Ansu Fati, Gerard Pique, Sergio Roberto and Sergio Busquets. Without so many star players, will Barcelona be able to win today's match?

All these players mentioned are injured or the manager just decided to let them rest?
I understand that they are leading in their group but this is kind of a disrespect don't you think?
I'm rooting for Dynamo Kyiv to embarrass Barcelona. They should get a draw in their home ground at the very least.

They're all injured:



First I'd heard of Messi being injured though, but it doesn't say what for so could just be something minor.  Might have to think that result now.

Is there a page where you easily track all unavailable players due to COVID?

I usually track it on transfermarkt but with COVID, info there is not always up to date and it also takes too much time to check team by team.

It makes me lose interest in betting, I lose over an hour to place a bet on 3 pairs.

That's the site I use. Not just covid but all injuries and suspensions so it's even more helpful.

In the game Juventus - Ferencvaros Juventus will have 3 of the 4 central defender OUT.

I don't think it will be a problem considering the gap between teams but it maybe be cause some problems in the defending situation.

Chiellini is Broken.
Bonucci is Broken.
Demiral is Boken.

Only DeLigt should play as a central defender.

I don't think that this will cause problems for Juventus in this match. The level of the teams is too different. Yes, and Juventus defends well with the whole team. Those who enter the field are able to win this match.

but for Madrid, failed on the group stage will be the new bad history for madrid in UCL. Since 2019/10, they are always easy to going to the Round 16 and several times to semifinal.

It would be sad if they didn't qualify for the group phase this season. Real Madrid's results this season are almost the same as last season, they performed poorly in the first two matches. But I think the next game will be very different. It seems that Madrid haven't found their best game since Ronaldo left. In addition, the large number of injured players left Zidane with few options. Maybe it will be difficult to qualify this season but opportunities are still open and I hope Madrid will qualify for the next round.

Placed a 10€ combo for today:

Manchester United vs Basaksehir, PSG vs Leipzig and Dortmund vs Club Brugge - MY BET

United won against WBA on weekend, looks like they are on good track right now, I think they have to bounce back today from last defeat in UCL against Basaksehir, 3 points today will be crucial in terms of advance from group stage. PSG played great first half against Monaco on Friday, if they will repeat it and avoid mistakes from second half of that match today they should rather win it quite easily. When it comes to BVB vs Brugge, I just don't see Belgians win here, Borussia is on fire lately, especially Haaland, GL!

I also made the same bet (apart from the fact that I make 2 euros, so it is only for recreational purposes)

from low to high

Manchester 1.25
Borussia Dortmund 1.32
PSG 1.57

2.59 is the final rate (with 2 euro i can win 5.18 euro)

PSG is risky.. but is a game (and is 2 euro..)

I added 2 more matches so 5 teams for my parlay, bet on stake.com money back if 1 team loses 4 wins. NB: 1x2 markets 
BTW, why hesitate with PSG? This should be the right time to avenge last defeat and to stay competitive in group H.

1   Manchester United                             6 poins
2   RB Leipzig                                         6 poins
3   Paris Saint Germain (PSG)                  3 poins
4   Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesi            3 poins

A very close group with little uncertainties. Utd has to win tonight at Old Trafford; while psg also has to win tonight to stand a chance to qualify out of the group stages.
I will predict a manchester united 4:0 win.
A Psg 3:2 loss.

I see Leipzig and Man Utd out of the group stages while psg battle it out in the Europa league at the latter stages.

They are not getting a replacement for Ronaldo after Ronaldo leaves Real Madrid. Their only skilled sriker is Benzama. Benzama is a good player. He has been scoring regularly since last season. Yet he is not as skilled as Ronaldo or Messi . Real Madrid need one more efficient striker. Otherwise, if Benzama is injured, they will not be able to win a single match.

I was planning Man U-Dortmund-Chelsea parlay and have PSG on Single ML instead but I'm just gonna follow yours just this time for $9+ (Total odds at 2.79) Best of luck to all of us

Dynamo Kyiv vs. Barcelona is tricky. A lot key players are missing but they have bench warmers who are hungry and willing to prove themselves every rare chance that they get.

Madrid's opportunities are still open and the points are not far behind but it is true that this week we have to win against Inter Milan to be a safe zone indeed this is a difficult choice where Zidane has to put his best players to get through in this phase, but I believe in Zidane he is always through this challenge and become a lolo to the semi-finals as long as Inter Milan must win.
There are no more productive players like Ronaldo. It is very difficult to find him so I think that in the transfer season we must be prepared to bring in established players.

Do you see any chance for an surprising underdog-win tonight? I doubt that we'll see anything surprising today. Neither Basaksehir nor Leipzig will be able to repeat their success from the last matchday in my opinion. Maybe Lazio vs Zenit is the match that can be the closest tonight, but usually Lazio should be the favourite here.

Wondering the same myself and now that I am asking,,, is there a best place to see confirmed lineup and who travelled? I made some picks already and I checked every site but now see I still managed to pick people who are not even playing.

Very hard to make early bets and all these games start after it is midnight my time,,, very very difficult betting.

If you see Leipzig as an underdog then I would say yes. Leipzig surprisingly won the first leg 2-1 and since then PSG has not really showed good performance while Leipzig has been pretty stable. I see a good chance to go for double chance Leipzig.

Dragosin (WHO?) may actually play since we have no defender available.

Impulse bet on Chelsea -1 at 1.81.  Small bet for my popcorn entertainment.  Lezzz gooo!

[Slow death]

Rennes 1- 2 Chelsea

chelsea just scored a beautiful goal, thanks to Mason Mount incredible pass

edit2: the game is over, i thought chelsea would be able to score more than 2 goals in this game


sevilla also won and finished with 10 points

[RealMalatesta]

There are many worthy bets today, ton of teams who are favorites playing against horrible teams, so it wouldn't be a shock. Chelsea however is 1.7 where I am gambling so I don't know if it is worth it if you ask me, not really bad at 1.93 if you can find it (where did you see that?).

Barcelona with missing players still do not drop to Kiev levels but they are not as further away as they could be, plus this is football you could have all of your players ready and still lose if you do not play well. Remember when Liverpool lost 3-0 against Barcelona? They were full squad, then Liverpool played without salah and still won 4-0 to proceed. Anything could happen in football so I am going to be careful but it looks like Barcelona will still be the favorites for tonight.

[cygan]

if today Youssoufa Moukoko from dortmund is substituted in the ucl-game against club bruges, he will be the youngest player in ucl history.
on saturday he already set the record for the youngest player in the german 1. bundesliga

Rennes 0- 1 Chelsea

chelsea just scored a beautiful goal, thanks to Mason Mount incredible pass

right, and the goal was scored by Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 22nd minute

[kodtycoon]

Rennes 0- 1 Chelsea

chelsea just scored a beautiful goal, thanks to Mason Mount incredible pass

yeah great, it just half a match Chelsea will probably be under pressure. I hope the position doesn't reverse because of my betting as well choose a Chelsea well in this half time position is equal to sevila vs krasnodar do they make a deal 

[marioantonini]

the odds for today are really very low and so maybe it's not worth betting a lot. I preferred to do a multiple with Barcelona, ​​PSG and manchester united at odd 3.75

I was very undecided about barcellona, ​​without messi and without piquet but the dynamo doesn't seem too strong to me. i think juventus win easy today and barcellona need win
to continue to be first in the group

[notblox1]

Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona is interesting match to watch, even after the fact that Barcelona secured the place in next group stage.
Lot of players are missing from both sides including Messi, de Jong and other important players.
I expect Barcelona to win and bounce back after losing against Atletico in Primera, and I expect both teams to score.

I read that Barca coach might rest players because there’s been so many games in a short space of time. I don’t think it’s a good idea to overload players, it’s a long season. I’ve had an accumulator & I’ve left Barca out of it just incase.

i don't think PSG will lose this game, there is no way, what i think could happen is PSG to win from behind, maybe they will lose the first half
then comeback to win, but i agree your man utd preditcion, i think MAN UTD -1.5 is a really good pick.
