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

[FlamingFingers]

As expected, huge win here with tense from Man United, both teams to score and Manchester United to win played out, I knew Man utd will conceded despite being at home, wasn't expecting them to be two goals down, imagine if I had played Atlanta win first half and man United win second half, that's almost 30 odds, wow

Great matches in UCL tonight and I am not sure how Manchester United turned around result from losing 0:2 to winning 3:2, but Ronaldo was the one who rescued them in this amazing comeback.
I played on Villarreal, Juventus and Bayern all to win so I am happy with end results

[Furious 7]

Finally in the group stage Juventus are still unbeaten and always win with a narrow victory but Juve are quite consistent in their game.

Bayern Munich is always with his goal feast so it's no wonder he will keep scoring in all the matches.

Man United was quite a tragic win after being 2 goals down but Ronaldo's goal was the winner, and this is full of hope in my bet.

[Smartvirus]

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.

So many last minute goals in this round. I could only imagine Juventus and Manchester United fixtures with ZenithSt. Petersburge and Atalanta. I thought they were already headed for a draw until the goals started turning up in the few minutes to the final whistle.

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.

Ole is far from the man to coach Manchester United nor a team with CR7 on it. He makes the squad looks bad, seriously!
One team that surprised me just little though, its always been there way is Bayern Munich. After having 2 goals cancelled in the first half,  they sustained a single goal in most part of the second half and got 3 goals in less than 5 minutes, so much of a Bayern Munich!

[iv4n]

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.

I didn't want to underestimate Atlanta, my bet was 1X! I am watching the game and I can't believe in that 0-2 and poor Manchester performance, I am reading your comments and I am thinking that my bet is lost for sure! In the end, Manchester boys woke up and turn the game upside down! Definitely a crazy game!
In that time Benfica - Bayern 0 - 0! I also thought that Benfica can survive against Bayern! And they did survive the first 70 minutes... I guess they didn't expect that storm in the end, neither did I!

[Marykeller]

What a night for Chelsea. From the beginning of the match to the end, it's was all about Chelsea pressing Malmo without giving them space to get into Chelsea yard box. Malmo played disappointingly without any attempt. Malmo should step up in how the play.
It's quite an easy win for Chelsea without stress. Chelsea present state is now in good possession to win any tough match coming forth.

Ronaldo really has proven his words that today they must be able to win against atlanta, Manchester United victory was quite dramatic and they made a surprising comeback after conceding 2 goals in the first half, with Ronaldo experience so far certainly motivates the Manchester players to be able to turn things around at the match.
Obviously this is an absolute victory for Ronaldo and Manchester United fans should be proud to have ronaldo.

[Yogee]

So many close matches to talk about but the highlight is definitely CR7's goal to complete the comeback. They also lead their own group after that thriller. Great job to the younger lads Rashford and Maguire too.

Midfield had issues in the first half but good thing they managed to fix in the second.

Finally in the group stage Juventus are still unbeaten and always win with a narrow victory but Juve are quite consistent in their game.

They have one job and they deliver. I guess they do not need all the flashy performances as long as they get the same number of points.

[minairia3]

Man United was quite a tragic win after being 2 goals down but Ronaldo's goal was the winner, and this is full of hope in my bet.

Manchester United's performance today was very good after a series of poor performances. Midfielders in particular have played great. I didn't think they can win this match even after trailing 2-0 in the first half. Ronaldo played very well. With this match, maybe Manchester is back on track. There will be more expectations from them in the upcoming matches.

It's really a come back to talk about and indeed stole the highlight from other games looking at the fact that, they were 2 goals down from the first half and managed not just an equaliser but netting all 3 goals to secure a 3 point in the second half without any reply from the Italian side in a UCL game. It's not what you see everyday in football and the UCL at that to crown it all. Best still was CR7 coming to show his worth as a top player and giving Manchester United that important goal when it mattered the most. It was impressive his been thus far.

Finally, Barcelona gets to win a game. Its so ridiculous of them but then, they broke the yolk!

Chelsea performance have been awesome. Their squad is such a great one. Am not surprised seeing them win with so many goals, because I knew Malmo won't be able to withstand Chelsea. They dominated the match with 74% ball possession, and left Malmo with 0 shot on target.
Maybe Malmo can play more better in their next Champion League match, they will welcome Chelsea in their home.

A great bounce back by Manchester United, ended the first half with losing, but they finally won the game in the second half. Ronaldo probably scored he 2nd goal in the Champion League. Villarreal also had a nice performance against Young Boys. They won with 3 goals difference despite been away. The Matchday 3 was interesting.

It wasnt anything close to being good though and in fact it was a close one. If it wasnt because of the home game advantage then I doubt that Manchester United would be able to score 3 goals in the 2nd half after being conceded 2 goals in the first half. At the first place, how is it even possible for Atalanta to score 2 goals? That just prove that they were so bad in the first half

Im kinda glad that Manchester United win though, that 3 points will help in securing the spot for the play off

It wasn't anything close to being good my brother. Everything was just dramatic or miraculous. I am happy Manchester United grabbed the 3points, but still not happy that Ronaldo and his boys keep saving Ole and makes him look tactical.
Maybe like a tactical coach that used the fist half to read the game and used the second half to win the game.
There was nothing like that. If the board says we should be floating like this, I am now willing to dance to any beat Ole and management will play for us.

But it proved that Manchester United's players can change in the second half and score 3 goals for a very tragic win and of course Ole can manage this tactic.
Harry Maguire's goal in the UCL was also a great sign he's staying focused again, after a lot of jeers during the game with Crystal Palace who made a lot of mistakes.
Manchester United in the play offs are quite safe.

But remember if you doubt the next match is Man United travel to Atalanta this is a big test for Man United too.

I'd like to admit that I loved how Man Utd came back in the game after going 2 goals down earlier in the first half. It was truly an electrifying second half and Atalanta tried so hard to cope but fell short along the way and conceded defeat. Anyway, I'd love to see Man Utd keep up similar performances up like this one in the Premier league since their performance so far in the PL has been lacklustre. Good way to bounce back after the weekend defeat.

I honestly didn't think they could win after down by two in the first half. Lucky are those who bet on them live before the Rashford goal.

Finally, Barcelona gets to win a game. Its so ridiculous of them but then, they broke the yolk!

I thought this would be the highlight of the week but it was also overshadowed by the MU win.

It came late but it's still a good win for them. It's hard to think Barca win less in a CL group stage.

I agree with you in part on the coach (Ole) because he's not that bad , and if the management could give him a little more time,  spend on quality players to support Ronaldo rather than on a new coach, the old days could be back in no time. Don't  forget Ole was scoring goals left right center like Ronaldo in his hay days and you shouldn't automatically render him tactically inept just because he's no longer playing. From Sir Alex,  i believe he's the only United Coach who has brought about stability and understands the Team's culture. Lets help him succeed.

It was a dramatic winning made Man United. Conceded 2 goals, then they scored 3 goals to win the match. This is what the winning mentality should be maintained by all Man United players. They must keep good playing like in this match, never giving up till the end of the match. I am very happy to see Ronaldo's goal, again he determine Man United to win.

I think Sir Alex Ferguson also tremendously benefited from his presence and authority. You remember the story where Ferguson threw a shoe into Beckham's face? That is just insane, but somehow the players still didn't up against him. It is because must have respected him regardless. Ferguson definitely wasn't a strategic mastermind, but he for sure had something that other coaches didn't. It's hard for guys like Lampard or Solskjaer to compete with coaches who wrote history for their clubs. It doesn't happen all that often.

Bayern thrashed Benfica 4-0. A result that does not reflect what happened on the field, as Benfica managed to hold up the Bavarians very well, only conceding the first goal in the 70th minute, and throughout the game until they managed to have two or three scoring opportunities. But Bayern München once again demonstrated why they are the best teams in the world.
