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

[LTU_btc]

Liverpool - Milan - before game I said it's not 2004, but this game was simply great. Liverpool were better most of time, but at some moments Milan impressed me.
PSG didn't managed to beat Brugge. And it wasn't bad luck, it's deserved result because today PSG weren't better on the pitch.
City 6:3 Leipzig. 6 goals against decent is impressive result, but Pep can't be happy about defense and 3 conceded goals.
Sporting was humiliated by Ajax at home 5:1. Haller scored poker - impressive.
Atletico 0:0 Porto - Typical Atletico at it's finest.

What a crazy night in Champions Leagues with so many goals, only Atletico Madrid vs Porto was without goals.
I played one combination of champions league and championship matches and I won my bet in Sportsbet,
but honestly I was nervous about Liverpool match that started different than I expected, missed penalty for Salah but it ended good for Liverpool in the end.
I didn't watch Manchester City match, but boy nine goals in one match is crazy

And you can believe the scoreline stays same up to this moment. I mean, you can expect this kind of scoreline from Atletico Madrid,  not because they aren't capable of defeating Porto but this guys always have a draw tendency about there game plans but, not PSG and Real Madrid. For sure Inter is a hard nut to crack but not so hard for a team like Real Madrid. PSG is one team that is surprising me the most, with all that squad and yet nothing to show for it over a team like Club Brugge. It's amazing, there getting to show there loopholes and I'm sure teams are taking notes.

I'm not surprised why PSG didn't manage to score in this match more than 1. Messi didn't improve during the second half and he didn't get many balls up front, I only saw him having one chance and saved by the Brugge goalkeeper. PSG's failure to score can't actually be interpreted as one of their weaknesses, but look how organized the defense system of a team like Brugge is. They managed to hold PSG to a draw and were also quite troublesome for the PSG defense. I actually saw Messi and all PSG players very frustrated throughout the second half.

By the way, the bookmakers, as I see it, do not really believe in the success of Milan, giving a rather large coefficient for its victory.
2,90 - 3,20 - 2,6

It seems like bookmakers are never wrong  
Judging by the statistics, Real did not play perfectly in defense, but was more successful in realizing its chances.
Another unexpected result is a draw between Brugge and PSG, and I see that Brugge has dealt more shots in total and more shots on target, probably not what the PSG fans expected  
As for the match between Manchester City and Leicester, I will definitely watch the summary of the match on YouTube, 9 goals is always interesting.

Watched on simulcast today so I saw a bit of every game. Brugge was actually very good and as you say that 1:1 is completely deserved. PSG looked sterile for the most of the match.

Haller scored 4 goals, impressive for sure but they were all "easy" goals from 5 meters out. Not taking anything away from him but I don't remember last time somebody scored practically identical 3 goals let alone 4 as Haller did today. This is more a team effort for me and bad defending from Sporting.

Why the hell was Porto goal disallowed by VAR? I did not see anything wrong there, maybe handball? Surly not foul on the keeper.
And screw Inter, they deserved to score at least one goal and their goal was the only one missing for my multi ticket to cash in.

Liverpool vs AC millan was a narrow escape  a 3-2 victory for Liverpool. Ajax sporting was a  very mad Victory. I guess the highest goal scored for the UEFA group stage this season, S. Haller had a hat trick in his first match. I wouldn't like to compare it to what Manchester city played because their ended in 6:3 with an OG in inclusive. It was a nice performance too.  

[Rruchi man]

It's very unbelievable that a team with the calibre of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe has cut my betting slip tonight. From today's game, it is obvious to me that the combination of the trio Messi, Neymar and Mbappe  are not there yet. The big question i am asking myself is, will this team be able to find the chemistry on the field of play on time before they are knocked out of UCL?

[Joca97]

Some really amazing matches today in the champions league a lot of surprises like club brugge and sheriff. Didnt expect anything from this teams and Sheriff even won 2-0 for the first time in their history in the group stage. But that PSG team wasnt even a better team today just awful

[LTU_btc]

Why the hell was Porto goal disallowed by VAR? I did not see anything wrong there, maybe handball? Surly not foul on the keeper.

I also didn't understood this decision. I thought  it was because of foul against goalkeeper, but as you said, it may be handball too. I have to watch replay of that moment again because I'm not sure about it.

[Slow death]

Sporting 1 - 5 Ajax



I keep imagining the faces of the sporting fans, I am almost certain that many of them must be crying after this great humiliation, it was an unforgettable defeat. losing by 5 goals is not so easy to happen, Sébastien Haller scored 4 goals, it's unbelievable that sporting has been so humiliated today

[jakdanyel]

What an insane performance from Manchester City tonight! They finished Leipzig by a huge 6-3 score. Leipzig got a late red card but it was not very affective on the score. Manchester City deserved every inch of this win. And the result didn't surprise me actually as Leipzig were demolished by Bayern Munich 4-1 before this match also. They were already out-of-morale.

[coinlocket$]

!st week of Champions is over.
PSG only draw is the big surprise for me, they should win at least 4-0.

It was a crazy game for Liverpool and Milan, and the result is a lie. Milan deserved to score less and take more.

[snipie]

!st week of Champions is over.
PSG only draw is the big surprise for me, they should win at least 4-0.

PSG draw is the biggest surprise for sure and I hope Mbappe will be fine after the injury, but I consider also Sheriff as a surprise too. They got 3 points from Shakhtar after scoring 2 goals to 0!
BTW another minor surprises are the huge number of goals scored by City and Ajax. Leipzig and Sporting fans will be under the shock for some time tho!

Not surprise with PSG although have great tandem as forward with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe failed to give score and win for PSG, just with little club they can't win how come to get champion league trophy? I think PSG have over although got Messi on their team but nothing change, faced with Club Brugge they only play draw and Ander Hererra make goal for PSG, where are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe on this match why they failed to make goal? although on first match I think PSG is not on the list favorite to get champion league trophy and I choose on to top position as favorite Real Madrid get trophy of champion league.

Yeah city were hugely favorable to win they are a strong team and they have a stable squad not much changes,on the contrary leipzig team lost some players and their performance is going down this season losing to bayern at home like that just proves it had no chance resisting city.

[LGD2Business]

I don't understand how Ajax scored so many goals, Sebastien Haller said every time I shot it was a goal, even the man himself can't believe it. Manchester City won by scoring six goals but I really liked Christopher Nkunku. He's definitely a promising player. The surprise results of the day were Inter's leading the whole game and losing to Real Madrid with a last minute goal and Paris Saint-Germain's draw with Club Brugge. It was generally a good match day, we watched too many goals.

[Kusman]

We have a nice match between Manchester City and Leipzig in Etihad today. Manchester City are being favoured really highly. Leipzig are out-of-morale now. Because they were destroyed by Bayern Munich 4-1. After seeing this result, Manchester City should be able to destroy them also. They have a great system and discipline. I expect Manchester City to score at least 3 goals and get a comfortable win.

I predicted the result very easily.  But I must admit that it was not a very easy match for Manchester City until some point. Because Leipzig managed to keep the gap at one goal every time. After it was 4-3, Manchester City finally took the control of the match fully and scored two more goals. A 6-3 result was really huge and I think that it was the most delightful match of the night in terms of watching 9 goals.

[kawetsriyanto]

I never expected Barcelona to lost the match with 0 shot on target.

I'm also a bit surprised to see the stats. How can Barcelona be unable to create a single shot on target? This indicates they have a big problem with their midfielders and attackers. None of the midfielders can create a chance for the strikers to shot on target. While Barcelona attackers didn't do a brilliant idea to make opposite's defenders be showing their weaknesses.

Although, Bayern Munich is a great team, but Barcelona is also not a weak team, they disappointed me.

It should be, Barcelona is fundamentally a big team. Also, they have no Messi on the squad, they have other quality players. In my opinion, the bad result against Bayern was mostly caused by a bad strategy. So, the person who takes the responsibility is the coach, Ronald Koeman.

3 games have 5 goals or more! Incredible and there is still few minutes before the end.
Liverpool 3 - 2 Milan, City 5-3 Leipzig, Sporting 1 - 5 Ajax
The saddest result for bettors until now is PSG draw vs Brugge, that's disappointing, I assume everyone are waiting for a late goal!
ATM and Real Madrid didn't score in their respective games and apparently it will end with a 0-0 draw

It is a very exciting match and Liverpool got 3 points but something to remember
- Mo Salah is important for Liverpool attacking system now. Especially more important when Mane, Firmino and Jota have troubles.
- Arnold is good in attacking but bad in defense.

AC Milan is still a big team in Champions League always.

PSG draw is the biggest surprise for sure and I hope Mbappe will be fine after the injury, but I consider also Sheriff as a surprise too. They got 3 points from Shakhtar after scoring 2 goals to 0!
BTW another minor surprises are the huge number of goals scored by City and Ajax. Leipzig and Sporting fans will be under the shock for some time tho!

I was surprised when PSG lost points in a small club in Champions League but Messi and Neymar lost energy for their international duty. I think PSG will not get troubles to get the first position in this group. It is a one bad match for them but they will fix it in next matches.

[DIA7]

it's a little funny to see a team with a pool of expensive players ^(PSG) can't add another goal yet....if in the second half PSG were held to a draw till match end by Brugge then it would really hurt my heart so bad.

I do not want to anticipate the event because we are still in the beginning, but I am afraid that he may have given meat to a vegetarian man ,
as he does not know how to eat this meat in the first place.
Paris stumbles in Club Brugge with Messi on their side and in the presence of the player who signed with Madrid via photoshop, and accompanied by his goalkeeper who wanted to grow, they saw that the floor of the bench was more fertile than the floor of the field.
The match is not a measure of strength or badness, but it is a living example that your money can go unheeded in a ninety-minute playoff, against a more solid opponent than Brugge, and the examples are many, needless to mention them as long as Rudiger knows himself.
