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

[condoras]

I personally still chose Liverpool before even knowing the odds available, and I was more and more convinced when the bookie favored Liverpool but I wouldn't bet on ML and still, it looks like this will be a match with some goals that might happen.

I was reinsured, I made a double bet on the victory of Real Madrid + Liverpool will score

One of my bets for today, along with the win of Man City + Dortmund to score and Haaland be a scorer. Let's see how things will go, I'm positive that we will see great games today!

[Yogee]

....So i expect to see an open game with at least three goals in total. Real Madrid has been pretty productive lately, while absenteeism in defense might open the space for both teams strikers.

This should be fun for neutral spectators but not so much for bettors looking for total goals in this match. Odds at 1.8 for over 2.5 means bookies also expect a lot of goals. Odds for both team to score is lower at 1.6

I think whoever scores first will win the game.

Hopefully, because usually from the experience I have when we are very confident in a match there will be a lot of goals but the opposite happens. I personally don't make a benchmark in the last match of each team because of having good goals, it's just that I believe players from each team have the opportunity to score goals. On the other hand, the defender this time did not look perfect which made it possible for the team playing today to have a hard time getting a clean sheet.

The score of the City-Dortmund match is very important.Dortmund must be very careful so that the first match does not end with a different score.In England Premier League, Manchester City 14 points ahead of Manchester United..This year, they are favorites for the UCL championship.Dortmund has to show top performance.Maybe they can make a difference with the striker line.Haaland if in form today, He can carry Dortmund.

Verrari and Florenzi have been tested positive for Covid and they will probably skip their next game in the Champions League versus Bayern.

This is a big thing for Paris since those 2 were almost always in the starting XI.

not only psg has 2 corona infected players...
today it became known that on the bayern side the player S. Gnabry has been tested positive for corona and is therefore not allowed to play vs. paris

Because of this Covid story, the stakes are more risky. If a team suffers a casualty or has suffered more because of this pandemic, it can make the game have a very different result than expected.

Manchester City - Borussia Dortmund 3-0
Real Madrid - Liverpool 1-1

I think Dortmund will score, but Manchester City will still win. The 3-1 win for Manchester City did not seem like an exaggeration.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool is hard enough to predict, but Klopp seem confident enough that Jota will make the difference at Real Madrid today. Jota looked stunning when he beat Arsenal with 3 goals and managed to get his name on the scoreboard twice. I also think the result will be draw for this big match.

11 people play football. And two players, even very talented, cannot win the match alone. And Manchester City and Bayern have a team. So I think these teams will advance to the next round quite calmly.

That has been what I have been saying for the longest time. I have been saying that Bayern and City have a whole team that plays together very well, sure both of them have great players, specially Bayern with Lewa but that doesn't mean that they rely on those players, even if you omit the best player on both teams they are still a great team and that means a lot. Take Ronaldo out of Juventus for example and they become a mediocre team at best.

This is why Bayern has City has a chance to win out of all of them, even PSG which is a great team has like 2 great players and that's about it. Which is why I think it's obvious other teams do not stand a chance unless their superstars make a superstar move and score like 3 goals in a game with some talent, which can happen but it's not going to be a lot harder compared to a team that can play all together.

[ShowOff]

Champions League is the true goal of Manchester City this season, the one that it's been pursuing for almost a decade and to win CL City's management decided to hire, five years ago, one of the most successful and revolutionary coaches in history.
I don't see Borussia stopping Guardiola's boys! Can't wait to watch the game!

Manchester City have a bad history every time they play against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City haven't won against Burussia Dortmund since 2010. But this season I think it would be very unfair not to say that Manchester City are the favorite for this match because of their winning record and positive result. Manchester City are almost certain to win the EPL, and now they will look to open up a chance to appear in the UCL final for the first time since Pep Guardiola was come. I hope they do well tonight.

Agreed with you nothing sure in the match it depend on the team strategy how they would get succeed to manage the pressure and keep focus on the game to make sure its winning. Although Manchester City not have a good track but Dortmund is not a constant side with its performance than I would like to place bet on Manchester City.

[acquafredda]

I'm undecided this evening, I don't know which game to watch. On the one hand, there is the big match between Real and Liverpool, almost a final; on the other hand, there is the game I would like to watch the most, City - Borussia. I'll decide just before the kick-off, I guess.
However, I have bet on both matches that both teams will score. Let's hope so.

Will be?
They can't always win, but I don't see that City is "so much better" now than in previous games to finally beat Borussia.
Borussia is also very well placed in Group E with just one defeat compared to City.
I'll not play against the odds, I am still deciding... but I'l bet at most on a City draw.

[bitzizzix]

Already match day.

PREDICTION TIME

Manchester City - Borussia Dortmund 3-0
Real Madrid - Liverpool 1-1

Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund is a very interesting match and I am sure Man City will win the match later and my score is 2-1 for Man City, the news is that all players have no problems or injuries and in contrast to Borussia Dortmund have problems because 5 players are injured and will miss the match later.
and for Real Madrid v Liverpool I have the same feeling and the score is 1-1, these two games I will not miss and I will watch them.

[RapTarX]

I don't know why bookmakers are favoring Liverpool, but in my opinion Real can win this match! Odds on Real win 2.8... I think I'll take my chances and make this bet!

Raphael Varane will be missing because of having Corona positive, so does Ramos and Valverde isn’t 100% ensured AFAIK. So, you can guess the team. Although LFC is missing some of their key players for a long time and started the EPL with bad performance, they have balanced the team now.
Nevertheless, since, it’s going to be on Alfredo Di Stefano, I guess Madrid will try to utilize full benefit and they will manage to win the match.
My bet- Madrid to win or draw.

[perla]

Madrid vs Liverpool can go both ways. I do not see who is the favorite in this situation. it could end in 0-3 but also in 3-0.

[Harkorede]

Already match day.

PREDICTION TIME

Manchester City - Borussia Dortmund 3-0
Real Madrid - Liverpool 1-1

I'd agree with your predictions, but I just feel that Liverpool vs Real Madrid will likely provide a winner from either side, and I'll give Liverpool the edge due to the number of absentees for Real Madrid.

Although Manchester City not have a good track but Dortmund is not a constant side with its performance than I would like to place bet on Manchester City.

I see Manchester City better prepared to win the two legs of the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund. Afaik, Manchester City are unbeaten this season at UCL and it's good capital to say they are favorite.

Will be?
They can't always win, but I don't see that City is "so much better" now than in previous games to finally beat Borussia.
Borussia is also very well placed in Group E with just one defeat compared to City.
I'll not play against the odds, I am still deciding... but I'l bet at most on a City draw.

I also wouldn't say they will continue to win, but their consistency at UCL this season is to be reckoned with. I hope you haven't made a mistake tonight in making choice. I think you have big hope if a draw is an option.

[swogerino]

I hope to win something as I have bet everything (not much just 0.5 LTC) to Real Madrid,one handicap 2-0 for Real Madrid.I know is going to be very difficult but I hope even if Real Madrid loses,loses with less than 2 goals so I can win this bet and of course I hope to see a good game tonight.Liverpool is the stronger team based on the bookies but for me Real is the team who has won 8 out of the last 9 elimination battle first leg and that is why I bet on Real Madrid.

I do not see the ManCity vs Dortmund match so clear. I think it will closer than most think, I even thought to go for double chance Dortmund because the odds are pretty good but after thinking about it a little I refrained from doing any bet on this match. Instead I went for double chance Liverpool

Although Liverpool is the favorite of the bookies in the Real Madrid vs Liverpool match, I bet for Real Madrid. My prediction is that Real Madrid will win the match 2-1. Interestingly, Real Madrid have won the last three matches between the two teams. And Karim Benzema has scored 4 goals in 3 matches. He scored in every matches againt Liverpool. So I am expecting a good performance from Benzama today.
