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

[Slow death]

as i said: juventus is simply a disaster, they are at the bottom of the can ... they really lost playing against a team that was playing with 10 players. as long as pirlo is a coach, juventus will have nothing. only this doomed to long-term failure... it was an empty team, aimless, cristiano ronaldo looked like he was not on the field, wasted great opportunities to score a goal

at least I didn't lose money

When you can't score goals for 60 minutes in 11vs 10 you deserve to be out.

Time to make some changes in Juventus, since 2015 they have no midfield and this is the result.

I agree with the quality of the players that Juventus have and to benefit after 54 minutes Mehdi Taremi had to get a red card. Juventus should be able
to take advantage of this situation by scoring more than one goal. But what is more disappointing to enter the extra times Porto can score goals even
though it is only with 10 players. This is very disappointing for Juventus supporters, because it hurts to lose the aggregate goal. But it must be admitted
that Porto is indeed very worthy to qualify for the next round.

You also have to say that pretty much everything went against juve in todays match. I mean come on that was never a penalty for porto, he barely touched him. Afterwards Juve came back and then their goalie made this big mistake in the extra time and let that freekick of porto in.
Of course Juve should have played way more dominantely in the first place and shouldn't have given porto so many chances to score.
Looks like Ronaldo will leave juve now as they will probably have trouble paying those high salaries.

That was a nightmar...when i cheked the score at flashresults i found juventuse wining 2-1 and porto playing with 10 players,that moment i was prety sure that juventuse will kill the match and score the third goal before the extra time...i left the page arround one hour and when cheeked back i see the disaster"porto qualify after extra time"
I also feel lucky because if i has some money on 1xbet i would surly make a bet on juve to qualify and with a big stake

The next games;

PSG vs Barcelona (Aggregates 4-1)

Barcelona must get the big win to continue the next round. Nothing for impossible, going back at 2016-2017, they got lose 0-4 from the same club PSG, but they reverse the score 6-1 in leg 2. IMO, in this situation, PSG must adoption Jose Mourinho Parking bus strategy; 6-3-1 

[hd49728]

Fun fact : Chiesa scored 3 out of 4 total goals by Juventus in both matches. Solid performances from Chiesa

Federico Chiesa is the future of Juventus and Azzuri. I wish that he won't be another Paolo Dybala and wish all best for him to be strong in his fitness. This defeat might put the end in the contract between Juventus and CR7 and maybe Andrea Pirlo.

I don't know that the President and director board of Juventus will have enough patience to wait for the next season from Pirlo. CR7 might feel disappointed and leave the club but the fact is he did not have good performances in 2 legs against Porto.

It is impossible mission as PSG now is not the PSG seasons ago. When they were defeated by Barcelona and wasted their home win in the first leg, they are still newbie giant in Champions League. In the past season, they went to the final match and it might help them to get more confidence and more skills for important matches.

This time will be different, PSG will go next.
What will happen with both Messi and Ronaldo after the defeat in Champions League? Will they both leave their current clubs?

Ha ha ha, I didn't think it so. PSG is a enough strong club. They have the ability to beat Barcelona again. On the other hand, Barcelona's gameplay is so much unpredictable is this season. I will not be surprised if Barcelona loses this match 4-1 again, again if they win the match 6-1 I will not be surprised. But I don't think PSG will play defensively. They will play in their normal format. And will try to score.

I hope so, Kylian Mbappe must have the confidence to beat 1-2 goals or another hat-trick against Barcelona. but in football nothing for impossible. Barcelona could be a win in the match but only 1-2 different goals.

I will not be surprised if Barcelona loses this match 4-1 again, again if they win the match 6-1 I will not be surprised. But I don't think PSG will play defensively. They will play in their normal format. And will try to score.

yes 6-3-1 looks defensive, maybe 5-4-1 is good. when the Barcelona attacker comes, 1 or 2 the midfielder must back to help the defense only if Barcelona turning into 3 players Messi, Dembélé, and Griezmann.

~snip~
The odds for Dortmund and Sevilla are pretty good too but this one looks trickier to me. It might end in a draw with both teams scoring.

I think exactly the same way that it is very possible to see both teams scoring in this match.

And so as predicted, it's a draw with both team scoring. An entertaining match until the very end.


I placed bet on Porto for Draw No Bet @4x. I just had a gut feel that they will either draw or win but that red card ruined it. Still, props to them for making it to the next round though. It's good that Juve is already out of the competition. They need changes over there.

Juventus failed to advance to the next round just because of Porto? WOW, it surprised me. They should really get mad at themselves for having to give up playing against 10 players. 3-2 is a meaningless victory for Juventus.

The next games;

Barcelona must get the big win to continue the next round. Nothing for impossible,

At least, that's what we hope to happen in the second leg. Nothing is impossible, but it is a tough game with few opportunities for Barcelona. Maybe they can still win the game, but in the end they have to follow in Juventus' trail. But honestly, I still hope Barcelona qualify. In my opinion, PSG never got the chance to win that trophy even though today they are very likely to qualify for the next round.

[swogerino]

I am sorry to see Juventus out but at least I won my bet and am happy about it.I saw the game and Juventus was unlucky yesterday night because they hit the post two times created tons of opportunities in the second half but when luck is against you no one can save you.

[Igebotz]

Time to make some changes in Juventus, since 2015 they have no midfield and this is the result.

Juventus midfielder since 2015 I had to omit about 8 players but according to Juventus rent boys " we don't have midfielders " because you lost to farmers from Portugal... Well get used to 

Kwadwo Asamoah   
Juan Cuadrado
Hernanes   
Sami Khedira   
Mario Lemina
Claudio Marchisio   
Simone Padoin   
Stefano Pellini   
Roberto Pereyra   
Paul Pogba   
Stefano Sturaro
Miralem Pjanić
Paulo Dybala
Claudio Marchisio
Emre Can
Adrien Rabiot
Aaron Ramsey
Arthur

Many more.....

[3meek]

It's very interesting how the Spanish clubs will be able to respond today to the past losses... I think that Atletico has all chances to go to the next stage, while Barcelona will leave this championship...

Porto is getting back in European top teams, I did not expect that they will kick-out Juventus, but it happened in the end
what is more interesting is Sevilla play in Dortmund, they played great match, and could easily pass-through, but lacked scoring, which is most important in the end, Dortmund has two matches in a row where 2:0 is not enough for a win in the end

[SFR10]

A lot has changed since then... I'm expecting another goal-fest but can't really see Barca coming out as winners ^{[even in this game]}.

IMO, in this situation, PSG must adoption Jose Mourinho Parking bus strategy; 6-3-1 

Good one but highly unlikely
Am I the only one who thinks Liverpool might go out as well ^{[regardless of the previous leg result]}?
^{- I do know they probably need to go all the way to win it so they could secure a spot for next year but at the moment, they lack in a lot of departments.}

[slaman29]

Wow, Borussia - Sevilla was very dramatic and emotional game. Sevilla almost made comeback, they had opportunity to score 3rd goal on last attack, but nobody didn't managed to make shot.
There was one strange moment, I haven't saw anything similar. Haaland scored beautiful clean goal, but it was cancelled because there was foulf few moments earlier. Then Haaland penalty shot was saved by goalkeeper, but referee told to repeat penalty because goalkeeper stepped from goal line to early. And only then Haaland managed to score.
Now all eyes on Juve - Porto extra time.

The giants of Italy has fallen to the feet of the Farmers from Portugal right before our eyes, it has happened, it's happening, the giant of Italy has been demolished.

Calling Porto farmers, you must be kidding. Porto is solid team which isn't easy to beat While people tend hype Juve too much. They aren't so good and it reflects on Serie A table.

Wow that was a match to watch and you have to really feel for Sevilla for missing out after scoring 4 goals overall. Still, you'd feel even worse for Dortmund to fire away like that and still not make it through. Such a good series of games for the neutrals.

And Juventus being able to score 3 goals? Even more spectacular. Congrats to Porto, proving they're not just there every season to be the laughing stock of UCL!

This is some bias argument lol; Did Pogba play with Ronaldo?  Asamoah ? or Vidal ? Lets leave that Aside; Cuadrado is a winger or wingback, same as Dybala being a forward (never stays fit). Now mention boldly any of the other midfield players would who will get into Quality playeyrs average?

Juventus their self are the joke; you don't sign the best player in the world and give him a pub team and a Primary school coach then expect to win the champions league lol.

If you watch the juventus team and believe they have a system; then its a bias lol. It was a beautiful champions league night, marred by terrible officiating with the ref denying Juventus 2 great shouts at goal from the penalty spot; 1 in portugal and another yesterday.

I expect Juventus to bring back Allegri; if they don't want to turn to a mid table team by next summer. Porto and Dortmund are in the next stage.

Tonight; i am expecting Liverpool and PSG to complete their routine victory and move to the next round

When you can't score goals for 60 minutes in 11vs 10 you deserve to be out.

Time to make some changes in Juventus, since 2015 they have no midfield and this is the result.

Yesterday's game was decided by the slippery hands of Juventus goalkeeper. He basically ruined all the good things his team did during the game. If you ask me, Juventus did not deserve to be out of Champions League for this specific game but for the overall performance they are having this year.

@Karatma1 I believe one of the biggest mistake by Juventus was to make Pirlo their head coach, because he had limited experience of coaching and suddenly he was given the mammoth task of managing a huge club like Juventus. Lastly that’s what champions league is all about, you need to perform at the highest level if you wish to progress ahead, but Juventus failed and as a result they were knocked out.

I think the same way that Porto deserved so much to qualify for the quarter final. It was like nothing changed when Porto got a red card and Juventus still couldn't manage to eliminate them. Porto even scored a goal in such situation in the extra time. Juventus were like they waited for that moment to go into action and answered right after it. But they missed a huge chance in the last minutes of the extra time and got eliminated.
