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

[icopress]

The Sheriff needs to score 4 points in the next 3 matches and then they can move out of the group. I think the Sheriff can do it. Victory over Shakhtar and one point in the matches against Inter and Real Madrid. Everything is in their hands. If that happens, it will be the loudest sensation in recent years in the Champions League.

Do you believe what you say? Shakhtar have half of the Brazilian players and for them losing to the Sheriff is not the same as losing to Real. Yes, we have already seen two random victories, but these victories went to them because the opponent underestimated them, but now things are different. In the return match, Inter will hardly yield to the Sheriff, just like Real Madrid, and Shakhtar simply have to win against them in order to at least save face.

Someone checked what odds that the Sheriff will be able to leave the group and advance?

While both teams have conceded and scored goals in the last few matches, then I think betting on 2.5 or higher could be a good option too. But about 4.5, I think it will be very risky, because to bet on a large number of goals at least we have to really understand the gameplay of the team, both the home team and the away team. Because if we only expect a lot of goals only from one side or from one team, to be honest it's very heavy and a risky bet but when you like challenges then I think it won't be a problem.

That's kinda what I said haha but definitely I have to look harder now into over unders and maybe Europa League or Conference could also be good where the big teams play, but unlike UCL it seems they only give a lower priority to the games there. Even Spurs keeps Harry Kane and Son on the bench and they don't play unless they need to go in and win.

Same thing we saw with Leicester last night.

[AakZaki]

A well deserved win for Man United, they struggle a lot in the 2nd half and managed to make a come back with 3 goals. Even though they win it but they need to evaluate the defense as it does not look good. Previously conceded by 4 goals against Leicester and today conceded by 2 goals easily in the first half against Atalanta. It should be improved as soon as possible.

Honestly the first half was 2-0 down I didn't expect Man United to finally win. I think the draw has been very good. Rasford's goal made Man United even more excited, their metal back on the rise. Apart from that Bruno Fernandes also performed well in round 2, he played an extraordinary role.
Atalanta also seemed slack in the 2nd half after winning 2-0. Besides that, the replacement of McTominay with Pogba was the right decision, Man United's midfield game was getting alive.

If gaining 4 points in the next 3 matches can guarantee them the next round I highly think that this is very possible. They have shown that they can give a challenge to the bigger teams. Though they lost the very recent match but I'm sure they will be able to get those 4 points in the next 3 matches.

I did not expect that yesterday the Benfica - Bayern match would turn out so in one gate. I turned off the match after the first scored goal of Bayern Munich. After watching the review of the match the picture became even worse.
I needed to watch the match Atalanta - Manchester United i watched the review of the match and judging by what i saw the match came out quite interesting.
I thought that Benfica could show good football against Bayern and Atalanta could not beat Manchester United but it turned out the other way around...

[borovichok]

I won this two bets as well only i had Bayern Munich wins and Over 3.5 goals and im still shocked that i actully won this bet. 70min 0-0 and then 4 goals in the next 15 minutes for Bayern Munich,also Man Utd turning around the entire game what a day for betting and watching football

Bayern's bet is more than 3.5, it was very risky, you were very lucky. I probably would not dare to bet on such an outcome, because Benfica has good defense. And this defense played well for 70 minutes, although Bayern had a lot of dangerous moments and a few goals canceled. Bavaria is now very strong and few people can compete with it. If they manage to keep this form until the end of the season, then they can win this Champions League.

If they continue with this form they will not only win the champions League but also the triple,I don't think any team in Europe can compete with them right now,they are playing like the Barcelona of old,I love there energy they just need to continue doing this until the end of the season.

Benfica had a couple lots of chances but failed to put them at the back of the net, all bayern needed was to score first so as to weaken the morale of Benfica which eventually worked out, four goals within just 12 minutes, terrible defending from Benfica, it's of no doubt Bayern are one of the favourites to win this year ucl

I didn’t watch the match between Man United and Atalanta but I feel like even if my bet was small I would’ve probably been shouting during the second half.  Lol.  I mean after feeling all comfy in the first half, thinking it’s already money in my pocket and all.   

I think atalanta's fault was they focused on defending the win. They are too focused on defending. So that Manchester United is more dominant in controlling half the field with continuous attacks. If Atalanta still played like the first half, I think Manchester United will have a hard time chasing goals. In addition, Atalanta were also carried away by Manchester United's game at a fast tempo. If Atalana is able to create their own tempo, maybe 1 point can be brought home.

as you said they are too busy maintaining the existing advantage that they forget the midfield that should be mastered so that United's game does not develop.
and an Epic Comeback for MU, who managed to pursue a 2-goal margin and even reversed the position.
and this is a pretty good thing for MU because by beating atalanta they managed to shift their ranking and perched in first position

[Pulsar77]

I think that the most amazing game of the night could be Manchester United - Atalanta yesterday. Because we witnessed a huge comeback from Manchester United in the second half. I was surprised to see that Atalanta finished the first half by 2-0 ahead. Considering that the game was in Old Trafford, it was a huge shock for the players, manager and the fans all. However, we watched a totally different half later. Manchester United started very dominantly and maintained their dominance in general also. Rashford's early goal helped them being hopeful about a comeback. And in the last 15 minutes, they really managed to make it. Ronaldo scored the winner and it was a really special moment for him.

shakhtar is one of the most likely clubs to beat because when viewed at this time shakhtar is one of the weakest clubs in group D.
but on the other hand they now have to be able to anticipate this madrid and inter which is more important when they want to advance to the next round.
the chance is still there but it will be very difficult and there needs to be a strong team mentality as well as a factor of luck and team cohesiveness so that the events in the 2 matches against real madrid and shakhtar repeat themselves.

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.

Benfica won't withstand Bayern Munich, is obvious the match was dominated by Bayern. Benfica were able to draw the first half, but Bayern bounce back in the 2nd half and scored 4 goals, Sane was probably the man of the match, he scored 2 goals and also assisted Lewandoskii into scoring the 3rd goal. Bayern is currently a club that can't be beaten easily, their squad is strong, and I really like their style of playing.

I don't know if Manchester United would still sack ole after they came back with a fantastic turn around yesterday against atalanta, and again cristiano ronaldo was their hero in the UEFA champions league night, but Manchester United can't be letting those amounts of goals they are conceding In the champions league and in the league I think the have one of the worst defense amongst english premier league top ten teams now.
Congratulations to Barcelona on the win I think they can still qualify from that group after Bayern Munich left it late but still won Benfica 4:0

I think they should suspend sacking Ole and focus more more their defence. They are indeed conceding many goals, especially in the Premier League. However, C. Ronaldo helped Manchester United in achieving 3 points. Also their performance was impressive, scoring 3 goals in the second. They are now leading in their Group.

[DU18]

Another interesting situation was in group D, where Sheriff suffered the first defeat in the competition, against Inter, by 3-1. Even so, they are in first place, with 6 points, the same as Real Madrid. It continues to be the sensation team of the competition, continuing only to depend on you, to continue in the competition, just don't lose more games.

Yes, Sheriff Tiraspol made a surprise and became the dark horse in Group D, but the 2 big teams Real Madrid and Inter Milan certainly will not give up so easily. In my opinion, the crucial moment will be in the next match, where Sheriff Tiraspol will play at home against Inter Milan. If they can beat Inter Milan or at least manage to hold a draw, then they have a great chance of getting into the Round of 16.

The second leg match will be very decisive for the sheriff to be able to guarantee qualifying for the next phase, now they have suffered their first defeat from inter milan and I think the sheriff defeat will be repeated later in the second leg match facing Inter Milan, after that, Madrid will definitely avenging their defeat in the first leg, especially now that the performance of the madrid squad has improved and it will make it a tough task for the sheriffs to be able to beat madrid again.
I think the second leg maybe 3 points they will only get when they play shaktar donesk in the last game of the group stage, and it looks like the sheriff luck is over for now.

[mv1986]

as well as i already know that manchester united is a team that has created some losses for me in the bets i have made, for yesterday's games i decided to create some countermeasures to avoid these types of situations where manchester united would give me losses



I won on this bet, and I lost a small amount on the bet I made that atalanta would win

I won this two bets as well only i had Bayern Munich wins and Over 3.5 goals and im still shocked that i actully won this bet. 70min 0-0 and then 4 goals in the next 15 minutes for Bayern Munich,also Man Utd turning around the entire game what a day for betting and watching football

But be honest, those are the wins that taste the best! Being 100% certain that it is all lost and then out of a sudden things work out for out for you.

I remember this feeling because I placed a bet on Dortmund vs. Malaga in the champions league back then and hell that was a ride if you can recall! I was probably going as nuts as Klopp did!! 

[ziyaaa]

I must admit that Manchester United got a really important win as their form is really the worst recently. It was really difficult to make a comeback against a tough opponent like Atalanta. But this win still doesn't prove that Manchester United started playing better. They still don't seem trustworthy for me and Solskjaer is still at a problematic position.

[fullhdpixel]

I have to say it was one of the best matches that I saw recently. United making a comeback is not something that I care specifically, like it could have been united going 2-0 ahead and then Atlanta score 3 in a row to make a comeback and I would have this much fun. I am not a united fan because I am not even from UK, but I love a good comeback, it makes the games so much better if you ask me.

This is why I believe that this game was one of the best that I watched in the recent years, it was definitely something I missed a lot because we didn't get these type of comebacks for a while. UCL is where the real deal is and these games show the reason.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I don't know if Manchester United would still sack ole after they came back with a fantastic turn around yesterday against atalanta, and again cristiano ronaldo was their hero in the UEFA champions league night, but Manchester United can't be letting those amounts of goals they are conceding In the champions league and in the league I think the have one of the worst defense amongst english premier league top ten teams now.

After winning the Champions League match, Manchester United's management does not seem to be dismissing Ole now. Moreover it takes time to work with new teams and new players. Give Ole some more time, he'll be able to take the team to a better position. However, Manchester United's biggest problem at the moment is that their defense is very weak. The defender is able to perform well while playing well against a weak team, the performance against a strong team is poor.

I think in order to be able to cope with defensive errors and individual mistakes at the back, it’s time for Ole to experiment the 4-4-2 Or toss back to 3-5-2 that worked for him at Molde and his early United days. That defense is giving me headache..especially from set pieces. Thomas Tuchel came and reversed Frank Lampard's 4 defenders to a 3-man defense and since then, he has been winning, scoring and conceding few goals. With the squad Manchester utd have at their disposal, they shouldn't be struggling against  teams like Atalanta.  Once again it took the genius of Ronaldo to save them.

But this win still doesn't prove that Manchester United started playing better. They still don't seem trustworthy for me and Solskjaer is still at a problematic position.

Atalanta sold that match out, they should be winning with ease but did not. I can not understand what they were thinking in the second half that they played that badly, not threatening the United post and giving United a reason to play them.  Already we know united to always be good when it comes to comeback so I was expecting them to do the same.

Immediately Atalanta noticed such energy, they should have killed the momentum but tightening the defense, stop attacking instead defend more but they did not, they left the play open and united capitalized on that. United were more dominant in the second half and were lucky to come out victorious from this one.

The manager's approach are different when they are leading. There are teams that are so good at pounding their opponents with relentless attacks scoring lots of goals in the process. Maybe Atalanta thought of the same thing trying to show their dominance to the world since MU is a bigger club than they are. We know now that it didn't pay off but that could made them more popular if they won with more goals.

[Coyster]

But this win still doesn't prove that Manchester United started playing better. They still don't seem trustworthy for me and Solskjaer is still at a problematic position.

I second that, and that's something that must indeed be pointed out, though they managed to come back from two goals down and won the game 3-2, they ordinarily should not have been in that position in the first place, it's just so obvious that the team is struggling and many times they need the individual brilliance of a few of their players to rescue and bail them out.

Having said that, the win could be a morale booster, I'm pretty sure the players know they are absolutely not playing to the best of their abilities and they'll definitely want to improve, this win can help them to get going and prolly get a couple of wins in a row, though the bad news is that their next match is against a Liverpool team that is in spectacular form.

[Furious 7]

The second leg match will be very decisive for the sheriff to be able to guarantee qualifying for the next phase, now they have suffered their first defeat from inter milan and I think the sheriff defeat will be repeated later in the second leg match facing Inter Milan, after that, Madrid will definitely avenging their defeat in the first leg, especially now that the performance of the madrid squad has improved and it will make it a tough task for the sheriffs to be able to beat madrid again.
I think the second leg maybe 3 points they will only get when they play shaktar donesk in the last game of the group stage, and it looks like the sheriff luck is over for now.

In the beginning the Sheriff was able to win twice and that was enough for points, only I the Sheriff must be able to survive at least not to lose in the second leg at home, but this is a tough test but Inter Milan will continue to try to attack to win it but in terms of the Inter Milan match will be much more in control and that means it can be Inter's victory even if playing against away.

I'm sure Real Madrid and Inter Milan will qualify in Group D, but back in the second leg they have to work hard to win.

Madrid will definitely win with Shakthar
The Sheriff will surely lose at home to Inter Milan.

[kawetsriyanto]

I'm sure Real Madrid and Inter Milan will qualify in Group D, but back in the second leg they have to work hard to win.

Most people think the same as you. Since Real Madrid and Inter Milan are the favorites and the stronger clubs in Group D, they probably can optimize the chance to be qualified to the next stage. But they must win all the remaining matches to guarantee they are leading Group D. I assume they have the capacity to win all the remaining matches.

Madrid will definitely win with Shakthar
The Sheriff will surely lose at home to Inter Milan.

Is this your prediction for the upcoming matches?
I am sorry, I think you cannot underestimate Sheriff once they are playing at home.
