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

[snipie]

I vote for Manchester City winning Champions League! Guardiola cannot lose this opportunity to go back to the top: Man City under his management became a top team and his players are hungry enough to win the title. As many remembered, given the huge advantage they have in Premier League they can almost fully concentrate on winning the European Cup.

Woah! Too confident acquafredda
City is a good team but PSG will not let it pass easily. I have to see the absent players and the lineups before the game to back one of them since it is a close face to face.
Once City pass to the final game, then Real Madrid (probably) will be a little easier to play against, yet not that simple to kick.
I might change opinion later, but until now I think that PSG will win this year.

People are still under shock to see Bayern eliminated, I don't think City will get eliminated too although the tight gap between it and Dortmund.
For Real Madrid, it has to score 1 goal to literally kill the game.

You've been right obviously City was the better team in the end and they deserve it. I find it always funny to see how De Bruyne looks like a little babyface but is an absolute superstar.

I knew I wasn't the only one!! Dude looks like he is still 19 and we know he has been a start for so many years. We can see that City won easily, I get that "dortmund could win against any team" logic because of their offensive prowess and that makes them so dangerous to so many teams, but the reality is that we are in a situation where City is so good that, they would not allow that risk plus if Dortmund was so good, why are they so bad on Bundesliga standing these days? They can score but they have bad defense as well.

This is why betting on City was very easy for me. I however ended up losing Liverpool bet, I really thought they could have won that game, they played well as too but they ended up not going any further, this year they have been very horrible but this one I can understand, Real Madrid is not a team to scoff at neither.

Liverpool was actually really good yesterday. We had multiple chances to complicate the game, who knows what would have happened if Salah scored that great chance early on. We needed only 1 goal to have a completely different game, unfortunately our finishing let us down again.

Yes, based on statistics Liverpool should be able to win but their opponent is Real Madrid, a team that is on fire and experienced in all competitions they know how to suppress and survive.  My prediction is that Real Madrid will go to the final with PSG both of these teams deserve to be in the final I watched how they beat the strong teams this week.

What Real Madrid's strength is that it is strong in defense and Liverpool is also good at statistics, unable to go through and suppress it.
What Liverpool is trying to do is maximal with a pretty good game and attacks that have so many opportunities and this is mostly Liverpool with 4 kicks on goal, so well it is really very difficult to survive and maybe Liverpool will now try more to qualify at the goal. Next season.

The final can be predicted which team will enter the final, but according to that it is very suitable for Real Madrid and PSG

[BITCOIN4X]

I saw so many people who underestimate Chelsea when it come to meeting Real Madrid in the semifinal. I wonder if Chelsea don't deserve to be in the final this season despite their inconsistent form in the Premier League?

We must not underestimate any team in the semifinal because the aim of all these team is to reach the final and get the title. Both Real Madrid, Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City I think they have the same chance of reaching the final.

Yeah, it is very important to be aware of this situation. None of these four teams are weak. And it is for sure that all of them will be very willing to reach the final and win the title. People can see Chelsea being the most disadvantageous team here but they may even win the CL and surprise everyone.

One might think Chelsea are weak because they have been inconsistent since the start of the season in the Premier League. But since Tuchel arrived, thing have changed and Chelsea have continued to have a lot of positive result until they enter the semifinal of today's champion league. Real Madrid are probably the more favored because they are coached by someone who has won the trophy 3 time in a row. But anything is still possible. I hope Chelsea can provide an equal fight with Real Madrid.

I don't like that Liverpool is out but we also have interesting semi finals. I prefer a Final between Manchester City and Real Madrid. But for Manchester City it's very hard to win against PSG. They play this year very good and always come back when the should they fall behind.

The UCL championship is getting closer. I am happy with this result that Madrid qualified for the semifinals against Chelsea. Chelsea's achievements in winning the champions league in 2012, they won 1 time. Madrid is currently strong with 13 UCL champions and 3 times with Zidane. Zidane's good stats should make Madrid more confident against Chelsea. I hope Madrid can take advantage of the game at home by scoring a lot of goals without conceding.

Madrid will once again become the championship of the league. They are super strong with lots of experience. And most of all is Zidane. He has will 3 titles in a row and nothing can stop this man once he has entered the semi-final. They will do take advantage and punish their opponent really really hard. Mark my words, men. I have never felt so confident in Real as I am right now. The La Liga may hard to predict the outcome but it is certain that only one outcome in the Champion league.

how about i tell you to mark my words and see Chelsea eliminating Real Madrid from the semi finals, i don't see a lot of people who think that Chelsea can reach the final, but i do, i think it's worth betting on.

This is a really big bet.
If Chelsea comes to win the Champions League, I believe they will have a good return on that bet. Since the majority had bet on City or Real.
But that's what the stakes are, taking chances with the expectation of winning with that.

Liverpool is not the same club that won the Champions League anymore! It's not showing its best football this season... Real Madrid deservedly made it to the next round... It will be very hard to beat Chelsea, but I think they have a chance!

Liverpool is weak this season and being eliminated in the quarter finals is kind of an achievement... Real Madrid is better, they will face next Chelsea which isn't in its best shape. Let's say that facing Chelsea at this point is way better than PSG or City

The big thing is PSG CITY not only for the game itself but also for the political factor, study the history of their owners...

FINAL PREDICTION. PSG-REAL

Real OK
PSG 51% City 49%. The +2% for eliminating Bayern!

They eliminated Bayern only because they didn't have their full team available. I don't know, PSG +2% over City. Interesting thought. What's really interesting is that for one of the two a huge dream comes true. PSG and City both going for the title again and again and again. That would be a huge final, but Real can't be underestimated. Lots of experience in this phase of the tournament. I don't see them as strong as PSG and City, but who knows.

There are few times that Real, when they reach the end of the Champions League, do not win the competition.
It is a very experienced team in the competition, since most of the players, the technical team and the structure of the club.

In other words, even if Real Madrid are not in their best form, if they reach the final, they are always the main candidate to win the competition.

Honestly I’d love to see Paris Saint-Germain play in the finals of this competition. They’ve been superb and consistent all praise to Pochettino who’s been giving the team a different  dimension and free flowing style of play. I like the fact that you didn’t underestimate Real Madrid , they’ve been consistent over the years in the phase of the competition than any other team. They still have the set of players that delivered them the treble; the midfield combo. I see a Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain final.

The champions league is so weird this year looking at Manchester City logo in the semi-final if they want the champions league they must leg to go off the league they can't give full focus on the league and the champions league at the same time, this has been their problem some years now. PSG, Chelsea, Madrid all sacrificed the league for the champions league, they won't let go that eassy

Man City are 11 points clear in the league. They can focus fully on Champions League now, the domestic league title is a given.
It's a different story for PSG and Real, who are both in second place in their domestic leagues, and so can't give all their attentions to the Champions League.
Perhaps this is to be Man City's year?

It's not underestimating, Chelsea under Tuchel is proving to be a really good team. We're simply playing the odds, and I feel Chelsea's the only team out of the 4 remaining that actually has really small chances of claiming the trophy.

A combination of quality and experience is much higher in other teams, it's football and anything is possible (especially in this crazy covid-effected season) but I'd be really surprised if Chelsea reached the final. And if they did, they'd be heavy outsiders to both City or PSG.

Chelsea is a dark horse in this four grands , but they have very real chances of reaching the final, because Real Madrid does not look very confident this season, their game is not stable, there are periodic recessions, and Chelsea can take advantage of this. I would like Chelsea to make it to the final.

These are valid points. With PSG, though, I'd say they don't care if they win the French championship or not this year. They have won the championship the last years and the big goal even of the Arab investors is to win the CL. Therefore, they will subordinate everything to it.

Real Madrid with all their experiences in CL, I think they have better chance than Chelsea. Chelsea is good enough in the last few months after they got the manager but I do not think that they are strong enough to beat Real Madrid. Of course it does not mean that Chelsea wont be able to beat Real Madrid, they still have the chance but Real Madrid is having greater chance.

This is true, but in the end City ends up being calmer. Even if PSG don't mind losing their league, they will have to fight harder to overtake City. City has been more consistently throughout the season, without much suppression, so I think they are more prepared.

PSG is a strong enough team and they are performing well in every match of the Champions League. But their opponent is Manchester City. The Manchester City team is stable. Pep Guardiola is a very experienced coach. He will do his best to help Manchester City win the Champions League this season. But PSG is much stronger when considered as a team. No other team has such a great forward lineup.
