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

[gabbie2010]

Iam putting the  blame on Ole for the defeat against young Boys, when Man Utd  needed to score a goal he substituted both Ronaldo and Bruno, the duo whose presence would have make a difference although playing with 10 men could be difficult however Ronaldo staying in the game could have mounted or put more pressure on the Young boys defence, unfortunately a mistake by Lingard gifted the host the much needed winning goal after controlling the game from first half a poor start from Man Utd in UCL.

Incredible, Manchester United lost vs Young boys, the King even scored but the swiss have won!

Not a great start for them 

This is because one of the Manchester United players committed a tackling foul and received a red card so that their performance decreased even further after losing one player, because this was quite influential.
But the Young Boys did well with this benefit and even in the last minute became the decisive factor for Young Boys' victory.

Manchester United still have a big chance to qualify and there is no great team more than him, I think it's a bad start but will still qualify for the next round.

The superstar scored another new goal with Manchester United, the first goal in the UCL this season.

One of the most illogical matches I've seen. An absurd removal in a harmless situation broke the whole game and Manchester lost. I think Bissaka should think carefully about his decision-making, in that situation there was no need for such a dangerous game.

Bissaka shouldn't have played so much aggressively. Manchester United was leading 1-0. The whole outcome of the match could have been different if he had not fouled and got a red card. For a small mistake, Manchester had to concede defeat in such a bad way.

As for the Sevilla - Salzburg match, despite the fact that Sevilla was able to recoup, Salzburg also had a good chance of winning. The penalty extravaganza also delighted me.

Salzburg missed two penalties. The match they should have won. Yet I played the bull Salzburg well enough. Sevilla is not a weak team. The performance of Salzburg against them is commendable.

Manchester United for doesn't have with it takes to deliver Ronaldo in his pursuit to win the champions league. Manchester lacks team work. Young boys took good advantage of the team. For me it would have been better Ronaldo went to Manchester city

Barcelona vs Bayern just started and it's a straight win for Bayern, Chelsea vs zenit a 2:1 victory for Chelsea

I think Manchester United will still do well with the influence of CR7 on the team, it's obvious to everyone that the coach Ole made a tactical error removing CR7 from play, he underestimated the Young boys team a lot and they had the result to show for it. But the flaws in Manchester United side were evident today, if it were Manchester city with 10 men, Young boys will still feel the heat.

The coach better sit up, he has no excuse not to win the UCL this year.

What a win!!!!! whhhhaaaat an excelllleeeeeelent match!!!! I can't believe a team like Manchester United lost to the Young Boys. Looks like I'm still dreaming. Lots of gamblers have lost bets today. Even I lost the bet today. Yet I am happy because I got a chance to enjoy a great match. But, Today is a nightmare for Red Devils fans.

Pretty sure there are many bettors lost in this match including me lol.
Red card changes the whole situation, what a bad decision of act by Wan Bissaka (I'm sure he regret it much).
United could not do anything except defense and defense especially in the 2nd half.
Young boys (regardless there was a red card or not), played quite well so it is a deserve win for them.

[D-law]

Ole Gunner Solskjaer is tactically poor, he's not the one for Manchester United, I think he's only been backed by his colleagues as well the gaffer Sir Alex Ferguson.
He's decision making is far from good.

[BITCOIN4X]

Barcelona vs Bayern Munchen is live now and meanwhile Barcelona have lose by 1 goal to Muller in the first half. I wasn't very interested in Barcelona today, they lost a lot of players in attack and wing position and they looked very weak in the first half. I don't like the 5 midfielders that Koeman used in this match because I don't think those 3 defenders will be able to withstand attacks when Bayern Munchen attack.

Lenglet, Umtiti, Dest, Coutinho looked decent enough to play from the start, N but Koeman still seems to want to experiment to have the best lineup by playing his 3 Dutch players together. I think Barcelona will lose by more than 2 goals today if they don't change their game in the second half.

[CryptocurencyKing]

As much as Ole has done a great job to bring the team this far...To be honest, he is not the coach to take us to the Apex. He is a mediocre coach. He makes poor decisions at very critical moments. And I say it boldly, he is not tactical at all. If Man United really want to challenge for titles, there is need get rid of OGS. Very simple. He'll win matches and end up dropping points against teams he would have easily won. He makes poor decisions like almost every time especially decisive games. If you plan on winning trophies, you don't drop points unnecessarily. I wouldn't be surprised that even with Ronaldo in our team we may end up going trophyless. A certain Guardiola team will control that game and end up winning the match without stress. For crying out loud... Bro, it's just Young Boys oh... Young Boys, and Man united players are all over the pitch chasing the ball.

[MinoRaiola]

I think Barcelona will lose by more than 2 goals today if they don't change their game in the second half.

That's right, I agree. Messi is gone and Barcelona plays the first time in the Champions League without him, Griezmann and Pjanic are gone and the new transfers have not surprised me. What is Barcelona without Messi? That's exactly what we see today and it's not good. The players have to replace Messi and it's impossible. I also expect 2 more goals from Bayern.

[ILuckyGuyI]

What an unfortunate game for Manchester United tonight! It was nice to see them getting ahead with Ronaldo's goal against Young Boys. However, Wan Bissaka's red card literally finished them. After the incident, Young Boys have taken the control of the game and turned the game around. I know that Manchester United were playing with ten players but they should have played much better. They had only 2 shots. Young Boys deserved this win I think. Manchester United really surprised me.

[alpamar99]

The young Boys team is not young, they are experienced enough. They are proving their strength. Although Manchester United was in full control in the first half, the Young Boys showed remarkable performance in the second half. Manchester players are not able to keep the ball in their possession. If there was an experienced striker in the Young Boys team, they would have crushed Manchester United's defense today.

Sad for those who thought Manchester United would win the title this season. In the first match, Manchester United is performing terribly against Young Boys. The match is now a 1-1 draw. Ronaldo scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half. I haven't seen any good attack from Manchester United players since the first goal.

If you look at the beginning of the match, I think you can indeed get points here, but disaster came when Wan Bisaka was sent off by the referee and it was one of the things that broke the rhythm of the game from MU.
even though they are far from the level of the youngboys game in terms of player quality but here the count is 10 v 11 so it is very difficult even if they are experienced and the player level is far.

Champions League football can be brutal at times, it seems Bayern Munich has figured out how to beat Barcelona because this is becoming a habit or hobby for the...current scores Barcelona 0-2 Bayern Munich with less than 20 minutes to go.

Juventus on the other hand is also winning definitely playing a weaker opponent but I hope this win helps them build confidence going forward.  Current scores: Malmo 0-3 Juventus  with less than 15 minutes to go...

Unexpectedly, I was actually quite optimistic that Manchester United would win when Ronaldo scored the first goal. But since they played with 10 men they were very different, they became weaker and defended. Actually the draw was quite good, but in the last minute Lingard made a mistake. His pass was too close to Siebatcheu. I think there was a slight mistake in the substitutions made by Solkjaer, although he looked like he wanted to win with Lingard, but all of them failed. A bad result for United because they are the top team.

As a Bayern fan and because I bet on a Bayern win, I see the result with joy. Bayern controls the game, so nothing should really go wrong. The problem is Barca's forward. De Jong has not yet had a real chance against the Bayern defense. Barca lacks the connection from midfield to forward. That is exactly the role that Messi has filled. He seems to be missed badly in this team.

Update: Lewandowski scored. 0-3 for Bayern.

[SirLancelot]

I wagered on 3 games, Bayern to beat Barcelona, Chelsea to beat Zenit and United to beat Young Boys. I considered Juventus and Malmo game as well but I decided not to at the last minute. Sometimes, you do not have to wager on the games that you think will be right and just get away from it, odds just didn't look like it would be worth it.

However Bayern vs Barcelona game was the most difficult one to wager as well, we all know Barcelona is a great team but Bayern has been on a roll recently and Barcelona is still trying to find their footing after losing their most important players this off season, so it is looking a lot more possible that Bayern would win this game. Chelsea game was an easy one to pick, it is obvious and United was the same as well, they are both easy games because teams are much better and there is no way there would be a big shock in UCL this early.

[LTU_btc]

Barcelona - Bayern 0:3. I didn't expected that Barca can win, Byern was stronger, but maybe 3:0 is a bit too much.
MU is biggest joke today. Even with red card, they had to win, but Young Boys simply dominated game. And Ronaldo replaced by Lingaard was real game-changer .
Sevilla - Salzburg - I said that Bulls are understimated too much. While seems that Sevilla want to play in Europa league.
Chelsea managed to score just 1 goal against Zenit - I expected something more from them.
Villarreal - Atalanta, as expected, fun, high scoring game.
Dynamo - Benfica game ended 0:0. Dynamo scored on last minute, but VAR cancelled goal because of offside.

[Luzin]

Today's Match Results:

Sevilla vs RB Salzbrug 1-1
Young Boys vs Man United 2-1
Villareal-Atalanta 2-2
Lille vs Wolfsbrug 0-0
Chelsea vs Zenit 1-0
Malmo vs Juve 0-3
Barcelona vs Munchen 0-3
Dynamo Kyiv vs Benfica 0-0

It seems like many bettors lost the Young Boys vs Man United match, this is really surprising because I also support Man United.
Munchen party at home Barca. Barca really weak, they were not able to make a goal.

Good and easy win for my Juventus. The result could even bigger.

The main problem for the team is the confidence, hoping this is a good step in the right direction.

During the training sessions, most teams simulate situations on the field of play and practice those sceneries, for instance playing with one or two players less during training. So i see no reason why Manchester United could not still play properly with 10 men considering the quality of players on their side.

In this UCL, i don't see Barcelona as a contender for the first place, it's going to be a while before they can build a team around a new player since Messi is no longer with them.
