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

[hahay]

Dortmund's remaining games are like this: Sporting (A) and Besiktas (H). And Sporting's remaining games are like this: Dortmund (H) and Ajax (A). Considering these fixtures, Dortmund have an easier fixture ahead. Sporting game could be hard but getting even one point can be enough for Dortmund. Because I think that they can destroy Besiktas in Signal Iduna Park. Let's say Sporting drew with Dortmund. They will have another very tough game. Ajax are the best team of the group now. Their performance so far is really huge. So, Dortmund have a bigger chance to qualify for the next round.

Dortmund put themselves into a dangerous situation in this group but I believe at the end, they will manage to go through it. They will highly complete in second position, after Ajax and go next.

It's hard to say a second position is good because they might meet strong opponent in next round. Teams with first positions will be given seed tickets for the next Round and most of them are giants in the Europe. Dortmund don't want to meet them too soon.

I only wonder that how far Dortmund will reach to but don't wonder that whether they will go next.

I doubt Dortmund can actually make it through the group stage, it's still tough for them, Sporting won't let go without a fight and they still have a match with in Lisbon so keep that in mind, that match is the key to the next stage, but I think Sporting can do it and qualify instead of Dortmund, don't underestimate Sporting.

Ajax was amazing and I predicted that wrong, because I thought in this group Dortmund were dominant but in fact it was a wrong prediction. The next match is Sporting - Dortmund, I personally still don't have a feeling with the strong record of which team wins under current conditions. But if we look at their head to head from the three games between them in the past, the fact is Dortmund won them all. But yes, the current conditions are different and I can't underestimate Sporting so yes, although both still have a chance to qualify but if the conditions are like this I think the luck factor will be very much expected by them.

Milan is drawing a successful graphic in Serie A, but it could not show the same success in the champions league. They were able to collect 1 point in 4 matches. They are in the last row of group B. I even see the probability of finishing the group in third place low. It may be an early farewell from Milan. Beşiktaş could not score in Group C.  They lost the chance to leave the group and the chance to continue in the European league. Liverpool and Ajax won 4/4 in these two groups and left the group with 12 points.

What we should all know is that Champions league football is different from Lalliga,Seria A,premier league or any other league.It is a game of the champions.
Milan are playing good football at home,but when it comes to the Champions league,they fumble.
It is quite unfortunate that they are exiting from this stage which  is group stage..
Apart from Milan,most teams play very well at league,but when they get to Champions league they will begin loosing.

Yes you are right. The champions league is a much more difficult league than their own league. It is a big tournament in which the champion teams in their own leagues participate or the biggest teams of the big leagues participate. In such a tournament, we see that teams that do well in the league can play poorly. Even the favorites of the Champions League can lose Matches. We can show the Real Madrid - Sheriff match as an example.

Ajax is undoubtedly a great club! But the result of that meeting was decided by a red card and the removal of one of the key defenders of Dortmund Hummels in the beginning of the match, after which Dortmund still led in the score... Ajax began to score only at the end of the game...
As for the game in Lisbon, I think that Dortmund have to win!

Ajax is definitely a strong and experienced team. But I didn't think they would win 3-1 against Dortmund. I bet on Dortmund winning. Dortmund played with 10 players so Ajax got a chance to attack more. Since Dortmund's defender was a low one, they also failed to repel the attack of Ajax's experienced striker. Ajax have won all of their Champions League matches.

With the way we've seen different clubs perform in their several leagues,here are my top favourites for the UEFA Champions league.
Mancity
Bayern
Chelsea
PSG
Liverpool
I predict Mancity as the top favourite because of Pep Guardiola,he is very eager to win that tittle by all means,it has not been possible for him ever since he came to City,and his eyes are really on that trophy.
At the same time,Bayern with the players they have,are very interested in the tittle as well.
PSG will pose a threat,but I don't see them winning it.

@Minor I really like watching Ajax play because they’re not a star studded team, and yet they play one of the best football I have seen in recent year’s. Also I too expect Dortmund to win and qualify, because they have got a talented squad and I’m pretty sure that they’ll devise a way to win the fixture against Sporting.

If you remove Liverpool from this list, you get four clubs that played in the final stages of the Champions League last year! By the way, the more experienced Chelsea won... I think that this year Man City will not be able to take the trophy! Maybe Chelsea or Bayern will win this season!

Real Madrid didn't get a very comfortable win against Shakhtar Donetsk last night. They won 2-1 but it was a really competitive match. And it was definitely Benzema's night as he scored two goals and had a big role in the win. This was not the only thing important. He scored Real Madrid's 1000th goal in the Champions League in this match also. Real Madrid are the first team which scored at least 1000 goals in this tournament now.

Yes, I also found this game dangerous on the part of Real Madrid, since they had to secure themselves with a more comfortable advantage than one goal. But thanks to Benzema, everything ended well. By the way, if we talk about statistics, then in the next season (or by the end of this) Benzema will bypass Raul in the total number of goals scored for Real Madrid. Only Ronaldo will be ahead 

Now, Benzema actually has passed Raul in terms of total goals scored in the Champions League by 4 goals. But when it comes to scoring at Real Madrid, Raul is still ahead of Benzema as he has 66 goals in the Champions League while Benzema has 63. But I believe that Benzema can break this record even in this season of the tournament. Because Benzema is in a great shape now and there is no hindrance for him to succeed in this.

Football during last 20 years are crazy. We have many bomb scorers like Ronaldo, Messi, Benzema, Lewandowski and now Haaland, Mbappe.

They break many records in European football. I remembered that Inzaghi and Raul were fighting for the first position in Champions League scorer table. Now they are all falling behind this generation. Unbelievable!

Two decades ago, scoring 20 to 25 goals within one season is almost cap in all leagues but now 30 or 35 goals are not impossible with many players. Are they - attacking players - becoming better or in this generation, defenders are worse?

Apart from Real, no club in the last 30 years of the Champions League has managed to defend the title, if I remember correctly.
I don't think Chelsea are likely to win the trophy again and I don't understand why you think Manchester City won't win the European trophy?
I see that no one mentions Real and Barcelona which is a mistake, and we should not forget Ajax as a hidden favorite.
In any case, a very uncertain and exciting competition awaits us this season 

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

Correct. Only Real Madrid can protect the title, and they did it two times in their streak to win 3 consecutive titles with Zidane. After the third Champions League title, Zidane left the club for the first time.

I don't think Chelsea are likely to win the trophy again and I don't understand why you think Manchester City won't win the European trophy?

Last season, in the final match, Chelsea was considered as the lower team than Manchester City. People talked about the weird decision of Pep to use Gundogan and considered it as main reason for the defeat of Manchester City.

Tuchel and Chelsea won the final in surprise of all. They won two Champions League and they won it in surprise when they are not stronger team in final matches.

I think this match against sporting can be a determinant of this because indeed they are now on the same point but only differing in goal difference.
on the other hand dortmund even though they are playing at home sporting but i think they are still in the favorite to win this match.
this is something we can look forward to when one of these teams wins the match their chances of qualifying will be even greater.

Dortmund's 1-4 defeat to Ajax Amsterdam on matchday four last week might be a bit tough for Dortmund especially considering they have to face Sporting Lisbon on matchday 5 of the Champions League this season where we know Sporting Lisbon also don't want to lose points. at their home, moreover both of them also collect 6 points from the 4 matches they have played.but in terms of sporting experience Lisbon is still far behind Borussia Dortmund in the blue continent football scene, the meeting of the two is very interesting for us to look forward to because this we can say it's a life-and-death struggle between the two teams to advance to the next round even though with one match remaining

[ShowOff]

With the way we've seen different clubs perform in their several leagues,here are my top favourites for the UEFA Champions league.
Mancity
Bayern
Chelsea
PSG
Liverpool

There are 3 Premier League representatives on your list, but all three are very strong. But two of them should probably be given to other league team like Real Madrid or maybe Barcelona beside we also have Juventus. I just think that there are 4 team from different leagues that get into the top 4 or to the semi-finals. English, Spanish, German and French. As for which team will get there, we can only look forward to it as there are still a lot of game to be played by all the team at the moment. But maybe we can all still be wrong.

Barcelona and Juventus I'm a little lacking because I'm referring to their respective domestic leagues which are still deteriorating today, and I know it's still a long way to go but my belief is lacking, but for English Premier League clubs they have strong power in their game. then this can go on and even a lot of favorites in the champions league.

In any champions league it can change in terms of appearance, this will be different in league and Champions games, therefore any club can win, but in predictions the final candidate can be from the main league and also France.

[KTChampions]

But I believe that Benzema can break this record even in this season of the tournament. Because Benzema is in a great shape now and there is no hindrance for him to succeed in this.

I meant the total number of goals scored for Real in all tournaments. Once Alfredo Di Stefano held this record, then Raul surpassed him, then Ronaldo. Now Benzema (who has already surpassed Alfredo) will soon surpass Raul and move closer to Ronaldo. In any case, it's nice to see that there are no eternal records and there are players who do things that seemed impossible before.

With the squad quality and performance I am feeling we will have 2 teams from English Premier League and one from Germany and one from Spain or France in semifinal of Champions League because situation is not good for PSG even they are very strong but still fail to give desired results with Real Madrid is good in both local and Champions League they also can qualify for semifinal.

Bayern means business, so it's very difficult for any team to beat them, so they are also very strong for this spot for English teams all these three are very good and can through into top 4, but I have these two for this year's title strong contenders one is Chelsea and second Liverpool these both are very good and strong Manchester City need some more time because current season they are again had no chance for this title like PSG they are also not good for me.

I think most favorite with primer league club as Liverpool and Manchester City will pass to semi final on champion league, later one from Spain as Real Madrid and I prefer favorite Juventus as one candidate as semifinal team, but everything happen looking with many bigger team as runner up on group stage will faced with first position on group as dominance by bigger club, still left two match to know which one team will pass one group stage and who will relegation to Europe league.

If you look at the game, we believe that maybe Manchester City has a chance to win the champions league title, but I am optimistic that this year my favorite team, Liferpool, can provide a challenge, and can get a 7th champions league title, even though it has to go through a lot. obstacles but I'm optimistic that liferpol can get through it all..

[mrongoz_imut]

Liverpool are still the most impressive team in this tournament for me. Because their way of playing is really awesome. I really like to watch teams like their game plan is offensive rather than a defensive one. And Liverpool are one of the best teams when it comes to the offense side. Because they have a really powerful player like Mohamed Salah. And it is not just about him. Their squad quality is really high now and everyone at the team is capable of scoring or making a big contribution in another way.

jorgen klop was able to form a solid team on all fronts, even their back-up players were almost the same as the core players, although this year liferpol did not bring in star players, but liferpol's game was very impressive, in the group stage liferpol was unbeaten, and it was confirmed to enter 16 big, liferpol play very compact, they keep running for 90 minutes of the match, even the attackers are ready to go down to help the defense, that's what i like about the liferpol game..
