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

The match between Zenit vs Malmo has been going on for more than 30 minutes, currently Zenit is leading the match with their 1 goal scored by Claudinho.

I'm not so sure Malmo can score and it looks like there will be an additional goal from Zenit side, hopefully Malmo can hold the current score draw until it's finished. I placed an early bet and chose Malmo +1.25, do you think Malmo can score and make the match draw

Everything is possible because all teams are good and have ability to fight for their win but right now Zenit is leading by 2 - 0 and we already in 50th minute which mean now Malmö is out of play even they can concede few more goals. Zenit is never been easy team in last match against Chelsea they're done very good job and lose by just 1 - 0 which is very impressive now playing at home against team like Malmö is no bad for them as visitors also have bad first game against Juventus 0 - 3.

Edit:  down 2 - 0 and now Ahmedhodzic    red carded mean worst result is possible.

Manchester United are going to play against Villarreal today. These two teams were seen in the Europa League final in the last season and Villarreal were the victorious side. This can be seen as a revenge match for Manchester United. They should be really eager to make their fans forget about the Aston Villa loss. I'm expecting Ronaldo to score also and they should absolutely be the winning team at the end.

Even though manchester united came to the second match of the champions league today with a capital loss from aston villa in the league, but in my opinion, today match could be a place of revenge for manchester united and could be the beginning of their revival from successive defeats in the english domestic league , so far manchester united has not won a single point in the champions league and of course they will be motivated to be able to get their first point in the second match today.

There was no hope for Malmo anymore after Daler Kuzyayev scored Zenit second goal, plus Anel Ahmedhodzic red card. Maybe soon we'll see Zenit third goal

The attack looks balanced, but it seems that Malmo mentality is not the winning mentality that can turn things around when trailing 1-0 in the first half. Hopefully they can score 1 goal so my bet doesn't lose

Juventus v Chelsea match is closing in. At Juventus, Morata and Dybala is injured. At Chelsea, Kante, Mount and Pulisic will not play and maybe R. James won't play also. Chelsea will want to get an advantageous result to pull themselves together after losing to Manchester City. Juventus have newly started to get good results in the Serie A. And they won their first group match against Malmo by 3-0. This is going to be a hard match for each club but I'm not expecting Chelsea to lose here.

For Juventus to be left without two of its main forwards in such a match, this is too much of a loss. I would very much like to be wrong, but I think that Chelsea will win today. I wanted to say that all hope is for the defense of Juventus, but if there is still confidence in the defense, then the goalkeeper does not cause much confidence. I think that even a draw will be a good result for Juventus today.

Juventus are going to play a home game against Chelsea tonight. According to the odds of the game, Chelsea are the favourite team in this game. Chelsea got a defeat against Manchester City in their last game and they want to have a good result at the end of this game to gather strength. I don't think that the players will be out-of-morale. Thanks to Tuchel's great game plan, they still stay strong after losing any game or getting a draw. Juventus haven't been doing good until they started winning games finally in the Serie A. They won two games consecutively and that should be good for them to prepare well for this game. But in the absence of Morata and Dybala, Juventus can have difficulty in getting an advantageous result here. In my opinion, Chelsea will get one point here at worst.

Yea I think this match is going to be the most interesting one to look up to today,two great tacticians in Allegri and Tuchel  but I will go for Chelsea winning this one, because they are in a great form and are very good.Juventus are now picking up points but I think this match is coming at the wrong time for them.

Without Paolo Dybala and Alvaro Morata Juventus make new tandem between Federico Bernardeschi and Federico Chiesa as forward position, I think for Federico Chiesa is not usually play as forward position because he always playing on left or right winger position, but very disappointed Juventus loss both player Dybala and Morata, how ever Juventus have Moise Kean as target men but Allegri not give his chance play at the early or starting eleven, on other position keep the same player as defender keep Bonucci and De Light play together.

Atlanta managed to secure three full points in today's match against young boys, with this victory, atlanta managed to become the leader of the group F standings with 4 points, in my opinion, the young boy game today was quite bad and very different when they beat manchester United last week, today Atlanta really dominated the game and they were able to release 13 kicks and 8 of them were shot on target, while the young boys were only able to create 3 kicks and only 1 shot on target and this is much different when they managed to create 19 chances and 5 shots on target when beat manchester, I think if manchester united can win the match against villareal today or vice versa, then the young boys will have little chance to get through to the next phase.

This can be seen as a revenge match for Manchester United. They should be really eager to make their fans forget about the Aston Villa loss. I'm expecting Ronaldo to score also and they should absolutely be the winning team at the end.

Manchester United loss the Europe League trophy last season to Villarreal. And will definitely want to beat Villarreal brutally in today's match, but it won't easy as Villarreal is not a weak team. Villarreal draw their last Champion League match against Atalanta, and might also draw today against Manchester United.

AC Milan is in a condition that is in danger, end very possible failed to qualify for the next round. 4 games remaining , Milan looks unlikely to be able to win all matches to keep any chance of qualifying for the next round. I can't think Milan can achieve that result. Liverpool won by surprise. Even though everyone had predicted a victory for the reds, a score of 1-5 was a fantastic result.

Yes their chances are really slim they lack a strong squad and experience to play in the champions league and the result was a red card at the first half which coast them the win it will be difficult for them to get past the group stage they need to win both games against porto to have a chance.

I don't think AC Milan can win against Porto In their next match in the Champion League. They almost draw against Atlanta, but unfortunately for them. Atalanta got a penalty in the 90+, which they eventually scored, ending the match with a 1-2 score. AC Milan performance in the Champion League is Poor, they have lost two matches and  currently without any point.

So we'll see how ronaldo will score another UCL goal? I expect that to happen.

I'm sure he will because Villarreal is not a foreign team to Ronaldo and I think he is quite used to and understands Villarreal's game well during his time at Real Madrid.

What surprised me was Nunez's quick goal against Ter Stegen in the Benfica vs Barcelona match. Once again, I don't like the 3-5-2 formation that Koeman played in this match because in my opinion the duo Luuk De Jong and Memphis Depay did not give maximum results. Barcelona need 3 strikers up front because then they have more power to penetrate the opponent's defense. 5 midfielders and 3 defenders won't make it as far as I've seen so far this season.

Juventus - Chelsea game is going on right now. Juventus have no real strikers in their attacking line. Bernardeschi and Chiesa are playing as forwards as Morata and Dybala both are still injured. Chelsea have been dominating the game so far and they have the game under control. But this is not enough for them of course. They should be able to score a goal as soon as possible and get ahead. Considering the current performances, Chelsea definitely deserve to win.

[TheGreatPython]

I am waiting to enjoy the match of Barcelona vs Benfica. I am a Barcelona fan so I will definitely expect a win from the team. But their overall performance this season is not good. Although they had a pretty good 3-0 win against Levante in the previous match. But Benfica is more experienced team. It will not be easy for Barcelona to defeat them. But to make the road to the next round easier, Barcelona must win this match.

A very aggressive and good start of this match Benifica take early lead through very beautiful goal from Nunez even mostly ball is in Barcelona control hopefully we will have some good number of goals from both teams in next 70 minutes of play.

In other 7 matches just Bayern mean business they are also in very early lead through penalty goal, but few other matches are also going to be having very good entertaining stuff coming. Manchester United vs Vilareal is also doing good game, both teams attacking and hoping for early lead.

[KTChampions]

Realizing that there will be no other chances to score points, Zenit strained as much as possible today and defeated a weaker opponent 4-0. Sorry for Malmö, I hope in the return match they will be able to compete with Zenit and at least take points away from him.
Barcelona conceded a goal in the third minute, it seems that the adventures of this team continue. The odds from the bookmakers are as follows:
2,00 - 3,80 - 3,60
Probably attractive for those who believe in Barcelona, but I think I will refrain

Manchester United have good players in all positions on the pitch, I think this is their best squad for years,they have 2 world best finisher's in Edison Cavani and CR7,In the middle you have Paul and Bruno which are class in their positions,the main problem they are having is Ole, the coach is not good enough,he doesn't have the tactical mind to coach this world class players, Manchester United need to make a decision about this before is too late,they should look at Chelsea as a good reference if the need any.

There is Kean as a real striker in the bench but it is reasonable if the coach prefer to use Chiesa and Bernardeschi. Chiesa is good in speed, dribbling and scoring goals and Bernardeschi has good shooting skill and passing with his left foot. Other than that, Kean's experience in UCL is still less than them, so maybe he will come in the 2nd half if the current strategy is not working well.

I was watching this match and Juventus looked very depressed from Chelsea's attack despite the fact that the Juventus 2 striker had to be absent and this is indeed a difficult situation if you lose even you have to surrender, it seems Juventus are still trying to convince their players.

Even if he loses to Chelsea, Juventus doesn't need to worry because I'm sure he will definitely qualify with Chelsea for the next round considering that in the group nothing is too difficult except for these two big teams, Juve - Chelsea.

Btw I didn't see Kante on the bench is he injured?
