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

[Stevcummings]

Chelsea - Porto was a disaster to a lot of bettors hehe. I didn't see that coming as well so I'm also at a loss. I'm taking Dortmund for the second leg vs. Man City. Best of luck for today's fixtures.

i've got this tip from a bettor: go with corners (in-play). He says the teams tonight won't sit back and defend (do u guys expect any of the teams to park the bus?) but rather they'll try to take the offensive and score asap, so expect many shots deflected, prolly GK's having a few saves, which translate into corners

It makes sense. Whoever scores first will set the tone of the match. If the team with the advantage scores first, the opponent will likely rush to get a goal back.

You’ve said it all, "whoever scores first set the tone of the match". How about a repeat of yesterday’s ties, teams without the advantage scoring  first. Do you think it can still happen tonight? Do you think Man city can equalize and scale through aggregately? All it needs to make Borussia Dortmund qualify is a 1:0 home win. I’d love to see Borussia Dortmund qualify to the next round.

[mamesso]

if Liverpool is able to win with 2 goals in this match then it is certain that Liverpool will qualify for the semifinals...
but we know that Madrid is not an easy opponent, by winning 2 points, they will play more alertly and regularly. I doubt Liverpool will win in this match, a draw that will happen IMO.

Scoring 2 goals is a mission that must be completed in tonight's match, But Liverpool will have a hard time getting the two goals, because the opponent they faced was a team like Real Madrid. If Liverpool manages to steal 1 goal in the first half, will increasingly make Liverpool players obsessed with finding the 2nd goal, and they have to keep a clean sheet in this match to qualify for the semi-final.

One goal for Borussia Dortmund is enough to pass the tie. Now, it will be a difficult game for them. It is not impossible, but City is very strong, if their main players are inspired, they will almost certainly win.

I would bet on a draw, or the victory for City.

These are different teams so I wouldn't compare the results to what happened in yesterday's games. We can only use their first leg, current form, and injury as basis. I see Dortmund winning today but I can't tell the scoreline or who will advance. It could be 2-1, 3-2, or 3-1.

[hahay]

The prediction in yesterday's match was a mistake and it is a big consideration for me personally to bet on today's match. Liverpool - Madrid and Dortmund - City, I'm still not sure Liverpool and Dortmund will comeback, but if I consider the results of the previous matches about Bayern and Porto, at least it's a doubt for me to bet on Madrid and City. Apart from that, betting on Over goals is still something that makes me doubt, because Madrid and City will be easy to implement a defensive strategy and that will make the match not as many goals as yesterday's.

It is not like City is a no brainer. Dortmund can beat any team on a good day, and the first leg was a close call given the late goal for city. Liverpool Madrid is tough. Without fans in Liverpool I think Madrid will make it. Would be insane to see Zidane getting to the finals soon again. Most CL titles for one coach are three I think, right?

All depends on Dortmund's shape tonight. They can make it I believe.

Dortmund is not an easy opponent. But Manchester City is a very stable team. They have the ability to win against any strong team. I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester City will beat the Dortmund team in this match as well as the previous one. However, I think Manchester City will be happy to draw this match. I would be happy if Manchester wins. Then the semi-final matches will be very.competitive

Well, that's what I considered because I have to bet on this match anyway. Basically I'm still not confident who will win this match because like the previous matches, the team that didn't qualify could in fact win the match and I'm just wary of that. Dortmund is a team full of surprises, surprises to lose and surprises to win because I have had a lot of experience betting for Dortmund, with a goal difference so close it would be better to bet with other options. But for the Liverpool-Madrid match, I predict it looks like Madrid will still win or draw.

Today we have two rather interesting matches. The results of which are rather difficult to predict. I was inclined that Manchester City could pass Borussia quite easily, but after the first match I began to doubt. And Real Madrid, on the contrary, surprised me in the first match. But today everything should fall into place. .I think that Manchester City and Liverpool will advance to the next round.

[Jackl87]

At the dortmund vs. manchester match, everything depends on mancity in my opinion. If they perform at 100% or maybe even only at 90% than dortmund will have no chance. One player that performs at world class lvl at the moment (haaland) is just not enough to beat a team that has 5 or more world class players under normal circumstances.
If dortmund scores an early goal though and can then defend and wait for counter attacks everything is possible of course but if i had to predict probabilities of advancting into the next round for each team i would say 80% ManCity and 20% Dortmund. A 20% chance is still not that small though.
It will be an interesting match.

Impossible night to win any tickets in UCL and I think today won't be different but let me give you an advice : Liverpool won't manage to qualify further! I've already made my predictions some time ago and I said that PSG-Real will be the final , with PSG winning. Last week , most of my friends laughed at me for picking PSG ...guess who's laughing now:)). So yea, tricky games in UCL and low odds ...pick wisely.

I am happy with your prediction. Looks like you really believe in Madrid. You are very sure they will advance to the semifinals. But if I take the Percentage  I'm sure 90% of Madrid will make it to the semifinals and 10% for Liverpool. The reason, I think they still have 90 minutes to score at their home. They only need a difference of 2 goals without conceding. Madrid's last match against Liverpool in 2018 at Anfield they won 3-1. Hopefully this is repeated.

[Balmain]

There will be two competitive matches, I'm excited already, I wonder how it will turn out. Real madrid surprised me in the first game, they really played a nice game and they have serious 3-1 advantages. I think Real Madrid can make it to the semi-finals, of course, liverpool will not quit the match. For the city-dortmund match, my favorite M.city. I think there will be plenty of goals in both games so my bet will be over 2.5 in two games

[DIA7]

Zidane decided to enter the 4/3/3 plan with Valverde as a right-back with the presence of the midfield trio and in front of them Vinicius, Asensio and Benzema .
While Klopp, in turn, will rely on Milner in the middle of the middle next to Fabinho, Wijnaldum and Firmino at the expense of Jota compared to the first match .
the match winner will be decided on the small details but the most important of which remains, how will the two coaches deal with the problems of the defense line of their opponent .
In their H2H meatings this is will be the third time Real Madrid to visite Liverpool at Anfield having lost 1 and won 1 on their previous trips. It's tough to see this Liverpool side coming back and causing a turnaround. If it was a Liverpool of previous seasons with a packed Anfield then I'd be more keen to back them. Not here though. So that's why I favored Madrid to the win.
Real Madrid Draw No Bet @ 2.7

[cryptofrka]

Liverpool again starting with Milner in midfield. I guess Klopp wants to keep Kroos and Modrić under control and Milner is a better defensive player than Thiago.

Still, I would have liked Thiago in the 11, it's a game we need to win. I'm sure both him and Jota will play a big part if we will eventually be in a position to turn the tie around, in Jota's situation I'm glad Firmino is starting. Jota can bring more energy from the bench and that's exactly the kind of impact we might need.

A lot of crowd gathered in front of Anfield, a window was broken on Real's bus as well. Not somehing I like to see but maybe it will give us a bit of that atmosphere that we'll be missing tonight.

[Mistafreeze]

I think that Manchester City and Liverpool will advance to the next round.

Liverpool stand no chance of beating Real Madrid 2-nill to proceed to the next round, the Liverpool now is not the one last season, the current Liverpool now Cannot overturn a 1-3 lead. Alison can not catch a fly he is likely going to concede. Man City and Real Madrid to qualify.

[ShowOff]

Scoring 2 goals is a mission that must be completed in tonight's match, But Liverpool will have a hard time getting the two goals, because the opponent they faced was a team like Real Madrid. If Liverpool manages to steal 1 goal in the first half, will increasingly make Liverpool players obsessed with finding the 2nd goal, and they have to keep a clean sheet in this match to qualify for the semi-final.

Liverpool's big mission today is to win more than 2 goals or at least go into extra time. I'm not so sure Liverpool will do well without a big burden, but they have the ability to do it. Klopp is a smart coach, he will maximize the ability of his players to complete today's big mission. Livepool vs Real Madrid will be a great match to watch in a moment. Meanwhile, I am sure Manchester City will not disappoint me today. They must come out as winners in this match and get 1 ticket to the semifinal vs PSG.

It is clear that this percentage shows that Real Madrid will win completely, for the current aggregate alone this is very burdensome for Liverpool and relieves Madrid when playing on its own, so chances are there will not be many goals against Madrid but even that can be defended by Liverpool not can score goals.
I believe that Zidane has a better strategy this is the ability above him to be able to play the role of the right player when the situation is needed.
So it will be tough for Liverpool to qualify.

Chelsea survived the game last night. I think Porto was too cautious in the game and wasn't their usual aggressive self. I wonder why they changed tactics. The game was boring for most of the minutes.  Chelsea will either face off with Liverpool or Real Madrid  in the finals. Either ways I want a English team to win the UEFA champions league this year. Manchester City was my favorite for the title but they have lost that chance.

Prediction.

City wins and pass the turn
Liverpool wins but Real pass the turn.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I was thinking to gamble yesterday and if I would do that I surely would have Chelsea to win and in the PSG vs Bayern match over 2.5 goals. After watching the result I feel good that I did not gamble at all. Both away team won but Chelsea and PSG got the prize of winning their first legs.

Big match for Liverpool now. We need a win of at least two goals difference to take the match in tie breaker.

[acquafredda]

I agree with you coinlocket$ and that is actually my bet for tonight: now I am ready to watch Liverpool Real Madrid and I hope is going to be another epic game! Loving so much this year Champions League, super competitive.
PSG looks the favorite team for the cup but yesterday they lacked sharpness and competitive nastiness.

[slapper]

I expect that PSG vs Bayern will be an unpredictable matchup because of the uncontrollable strength of PSG. They are strong but the lack of organizing makes players do not connect to each other. And yet, PSG has proven that they are really a strong team. They deserve to win

Live matches are being broadcast for the last 2 quarterfinals. I strongly believe that Real will easily beat Liverpool like they did several times before.

[tyz]

Dortmund leads early against ManCity with 1:0. Goal by Jude Bellingham. As of now, Dortmund is through. I bet on double chance for Dortmund. So far it is going very well.

Also set double chance for Liverpool but Liverpool is having a hard time against Real Madrid so far. I would have liked to see a more convincing performance from them after the first leg defeat.
