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

Do you think Manchester United is safe today? there are 4 clubs competing tightly in group F Atalanta as leader but the possibility of Manchester having a chance to take over the standings because I see the red devil is ready with a mainstay player My prediction is 2-1 for this match.

They will get scale through Atlanta probably the influence of Ronaldo will have a say to the game, Ole seems to be getting it wrong mostly in the substitution aspect and we all know that Atlanta is a not a small club either, they are good upfront, Man United have been conceeding lots of silly goals recently, both teams to score and Man United to win will be a good bet

Deserved half-time lead for Barca, 8 corners, 23 crosses in, 8 shots, and just the one goal. Kiev, not sure what they're planning. 0-0 would have been the best they could hope for but going a goal down and still playing like you're a goal up, just one counter that ended up offside? Just doesn't make sense to me. Hope the home boys get several more goals.

As a result, Barcelona won with a minimum score and now we should think about what it is counting on in the return leg. I expected a more confident victory, but Barcelona played in a classic style - a lot of actions at a very low efficiency. If in a home match Dynamo is more successful in counterattacks, then it may well win. One successful counterattack is enough and the game will turn over.

[ShowOff]

Having won an important game over Valencia at the weekend, Barcelona returns to the action. In the Champions League they must win consecutive games, so today 3 points are very important. Both tactically and psychologically, the win over Valencia was a good sign. It's a must-win, and the team should also deliver a great performance since this is Barcelona.

I'm happy that Barcelona managed to win vs Dinamo Kyiv today with great difficulty. Pique deserved to be the hero of today's victory because he had a good game and also scored 1 goal. Tough win today for Barcelona although I think they could have scored more than 1 goal in the second half. Ansu Fati who played in the second half was not as expected even though he had 1 good chance to score, but he failed to do well. 3 points in 3 match, yes we still have hope once again.

Edit: FC Barcelona 1 : 0 Dynamo Kiev Full-time result.

This is not amazing to me because I expect Barcelona to score more than 2 goals if they are in form now, possibly Benfica might qualify for round of 16 along with Bayern.

The match in the second half was a bit boring because Barcelona couldn't score again even though the ball was still in their possession but it was difficult and the single goal was not an extraordinary win for Barcelona.

I want to know now whether Benfica is able to maintain with Bayern Munich or will lose this one for sure dominates Bayern to win.

Barcelona still has more challenges to face in the UCL, especially Bayern and Benfica were not able to beat Barca before.

Actually, there shouldn't be much surprise tonight. ManU, Bayern, Juventus and Barca, Chealsea should win their matches and the odds are pretty clear. The only matches which are open are Lille vs. Sevilla (whereas I see Sevilla as favorite) and Young Boys Bern vs. Villareal. Here I see Villareal favored, although Bern has shown good games in recent matches.

Yes I see Barcelona lucky today they controlled the game from all side but there was only one goal looks like a team at a stalemate
I can say that Barcelona don't deserve to be in the semifinals they will come out early

Barcelona was very confident today and score 1-0 means only a great wasting of chances. Dynamo Kyiv didn't create any dangerous attack on Barca's goal. I think Barcelona will get 3 points in Kyiv too.

The Besiktas - Sporting game was one of the very interesting games of the night. Besiktas seemed better than Sporting before this game. But very interestingly, Sporting just obliterated Besiktas away by 4-1. And actually, Besiktas had their most important players in the game too like Pjanic. Something was really wrong with them but I wonder what it was.

And in the other game of the group, we had another interesting result. Ajax simply destroyed Dortmund by 4-0. I don't know what was wrong with Dortmund in this game either. Dortmund had Haaland too and they won their last game before coming here. Ajax are just playing really different. They are way ahead of their opponents now by their huge effort.

Dynamo Kyiv is not a very big team. Winning 1-0 against such a team is not a big achievement. Yet it is a great achievement for Barcelona now because Barcelona is in such a precarious situation. Dynamo Kyiv was not in the truck from the beginning of the match. They can't attack today. On the other hand, although Barcelona have won, their performance is still weak. Gerard Pique scored the only goal of the day and Jordi Alba assisted. They are both defenders.

[KTChampions]

this disparity in odds is very strange, atalanta is a strong team and manchester united is a weak team, but why they giving all that advantage to manchester united? are Oddsmaker underestimating the atalanta? I'm thinking about betting on atalanta

I think this is due to the fact that United have a lot of fans all over the world who bet without thinking about the real state of things, plus a lot of bettors are betting just by looking at the name of the team and not its real strength. Bookmakers are forced to take into account such a conjuncture and because of this we see such distorted odds. Recently, I have seen too many such events and perhaps a little later I will create a topic to track such matches and test my theory more accurately.

So, 30 minutes of the match has passed and United are already losing 0-2  
It seems those who doubted the offered odds were 100% right. I do not rule out the possibility that United could turn the game, but it certainly did not deserve the 1.68 odds
Hopefully, if United loses today, the management will finally draw conclusions and hire a strong coach.

Manchester United were already 0-2 down to Atlanta in the ongoing first half.
Ronaldo looked annoyed when the second goal came from Atlanta, the end of the game is still long whether Manchester United can win from Atlanta or Antlanta's goals continue to grow.

[DanWalker]

As everyone expected, Manchester United's victory over Atlanta will not be easy. Firstly Atlanta is a team experienced enough, secondly Manchester United is going through a very bad time. The players are not in form, the internal bonding between them is not good. And so I refrained from betting on this match. Atlanta scored two goals in just 28 minutes. Where Manchester's players have yet to score a goal. I still hope Manchester United will at least be able to draw this match. Because if they lose this match, going to the next round is completely uncertain.

[$crypto$]

2 chances from Rashford still not good in his finishing unlucky it should have been a goal and why Ronaldo wasn't so precise when the ball came to him, Manchester United felt the pressure now in the second half.

Well, I saw Ronaldo looking annoyed with this game, in the second half Ole must be able to provide good tactics so that he can continue to attack at least in a strong defense, even though this is not in the hell group but at least Manchester United must be able to match Atalanta.

[Turbolinea]

Poor Manchester United are still struggling very much. In their last English Premier League game, they were defeated by Leicester by 4-2. It was a big disappointment for them and the supporters too. I assumed that they would be very eager to win in this game against Atalanta. But as far as I have seen so far, they are just helpless in the game. Atalanta ended the first half 2-0 ahead. And they are doing this even away. I really wonder what is going on with Manchester United recently.

I just saw the result after 45 minutes... omg... what's wrong with Manchester United? Lost in the Champions League against Young Boys Bern and in the league 4:2 against Leicester City. If they also lose today, then you can talk about a small crisis.

I really wonder what is going on with Manchester United recently.

Me too!!!

Live bet on Bayern and Juventus! Both teams play better, only the goal is missing.

[ziyaaa]

Manchester United vs Atalanta match seems to be the most interesting one right now. The first half ended by the lead of Atalanta by 2-0. Manchester United were in a really big shock surely. But they started the second half very well and dominated it so far. And finally, Rashford scored and decreased the gap by one. After this early goal, I expect Manchester United to be more assertive for getting a win. If they find the second one also in a short time, they can succeed in even winning this one too.

[Smartvirus]

It's an intense game indeed. For the first time, I think I see Ole trying to do the right sub and is actually getting results only that, the substitution should have come much earlier. Or perhaps, he would have played his best strategy from the start and then stretch it to see how far it could go. The Italian side Atalanta have always been a tough side to gamble with. Well, the game is far from over but the good news at the moment is, Manchester United is the pressing side and arr actually trying to create something with the few minutes left.

Edited: It's CR7 with a goalllllllllll, Manchester United now has the lead!

[coinlocket$]

Yeah!

Juventus got a hard game but managed to score 1 goal and now they are basically qualified for the final stage!
Good recovery for Manchester and the Goat scored again!

Easy life for Chelsea and Bayern this turn.

[Rruchi man]

It's CR7 with a goalllllllllll, Manchester United now has the lead!

Never Banter Ronaldo until the referree blows the final whistle, he is on the GOAT level and seldom disappoints whenever the occasion requires him to step up. Great come back, I still feel Ole is not the man to lead Manchester United to Champions League victory with Ronaldo. They still need a better coach. This is the champions League, a come back is not always possible, sometimes it is best you start winning the game from the first whistle.

[LTU_btc]

MU played two completely different half's today. Outplayed by Atalanta completely in 1st and total dominance in 2nd. Ronaldo & co saves Solskjaer seat.
Benfica didn't deserved to lose 0:4. Bayern were better, but result don't fully reflect game, Benfica defended well until 1st goal.
Juve got difficult win against Zenit. Congrats for these who went with their win like me .
Young Boys - Villarreal. It was difficult to expect such big their win.
Very dull Barca performance, but win is win, that's most important thing. But it's good that Dynamo weren't able to offer anything in attack, otherwise it would be much more difficult.
