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

It should be easy win for Liverpool against Porto and for Manchester City against PSG if we look at odds bookmakers are offering, but I like to play double chances and I think it's possible to happen in one of this matches.
One more match that caught my attention is Sporting vs Dortmund, away team is missing many players for this match and Sporting is in good form.

ajax wins away with 2-1 at besiktas istanbul - the matchwinner was again with his two goals the striker Sebastien Haller. now he has achieved what no one before him has ever achieved - 9 goals after 5 games ... the best mark previously held Erling Haaland with 8 goals after 5 games

I wonder if he can match or surpass record Cristiano Ronaldo with 11 goals in the group stage.
Ajax continues to amaze - in an essentially unnecessary match for themselves, they were able to turn the tide of the meeting and win. Now Ajax remains in the first place and Besiktas in the last, regardless of other games, and the fate of the second place will be decided in today's match Sporting - Borussia.

What an impressive comeback for ajax again after the comeback against dortmund today they won their fifth consecutive game in the champions league groups this season what an achievement and maybe they will get the full points if they win their last game impressive performance by ajax players in adition to haller tadic and berghius are providing many assists and goals this trio is the reason behind ajax succes.

Only 1 hour before kickoff the first half of Manchester city vs PSG will start. I'm backing Manchester City to win, but I'm a little worried about the strength of PSG who might be able to do better after Messi's recent resurgence. Neymar, Mbappe and Messi may still be the top line up today in the game but Messi has ruined the first leg match with his 2 goals then which cost Manchester City to lose.

PSG must win today from Manchester city to ensure 1 ticket to the next round. After the first leg PSG managed to beat City then for the second leg it looks like they can do it too especially if Messi scores a goal. If PSG manage to score the first goal, then I believe they will win today. But if City do it first, then PSG will find it difficult to reply. My prediction for this match is 1-3 for 3 point PSG.

Chelsea just annihilated Juventus yesterday. They got a huge 4-0 win in Stamford Bridge and it must be a very satisfying win for them. This game was very crucial for Chelsea in terms of taking the lead of the group. And they have taken it by a fascinating performance. Juventus were just helpless in this game. The turning point could be Morata's very close miss for Juventus. Chelsea defense did a great job there and closed the gate of hope for Juventus. Tuchel's Chelsea are just continuing to impress me more as times goes on.

Inter with super Dzeko won their game and now they are almost going to be in the final phase of the champion.
È need to wait the real Madrid game they are now basically qualified for the real game after 10years.

With the draw against benfica yesterday, barcelona seems to be in danger of being out of the champions league this season, because the match against münchen is not an easy match for barcelona, ​​moreover they have to play at allianz arena oppose  münchen later, I think it looks like benfica has a chance to qualify for the next round if barcelona loses and benfica can take advantage of the situation by defeating dynamo Kiev which is relatively weaker.

I know that this is going to sound horrible for most Barcelona fans but since I am not from Spain I do not care; I believe that going to europa league would be a lot better for them because they could be better there. I know people are expecting very little from Barcelona, but going to maybe another stage on champions league versus being able to go to europa finals is a very different situation. I rather have a europa championship instead of quarter finals at champions league.

I am not saying that Barcelona could do that the way they are right now, there is a good chance they may fail to do anything, maybe even suck at Europa if they go there as well, so there is nothing guaranteed yet for them, but at least having a higher level chance there means a better chance for Xavi to recover the team to its glory instead of facing big name clubs and having trouble.

Intermilan managed to win and made their chances of going to the next round even bigger, edin dzeko today really became a hero for intermilan's victory, btw right now the match between real madrid and sherrif is ongoing and the temporary score is still 0-0, I think apart from real fans madrid who wanted their team to win, of course the Inter Milan fans today wished luck for real madrid .

The long awaited match between Manchester City and PSG is underway and it is very interesting to watch because both have different playing characters, Manchester City are known for their possession style of play and PSG have a fast counter-attack game.
The second match of the Champions League is quite confusing because we are faced with many interesting choices to watch that make us curious, Manchester City vs PSG
Atlético vs AC Milan
Liverpool vs Porto
Sheriff vs Real Madrid.

However, I disagree your opinion about Sancho. He did not have good performance so far and the goal yesterday is the first one he scored for Manchester United after 15 matches. It's not impressive.

Well, my qualifying J. Sancho was just that he assisted in yesterday's game by virtue of his own goal which secured the win other than that, it was me avoiding ambiguous write up but then, J. Sancho is a good player whose true self is yet to be reviled in Manchester United. It is true they say, that Ole had no excuse not to win a game with CR7 on the pitch, as he himself CR7 is all about the trophy and likes to go all out to get it but, one man can't amke a team so,the management becomes of utmost importance.

Manchester city and PSG game is still on going and so far, its been a game of contest with both teams putting in work and non has paid of yet. Though, the Pep side has got a go on the stats.

I'm surprised how bad Dortmund plays against Sporting and how well Leipzig plays against Bruges. The results are correspondingly: Dortmund is back 0-2 at half-time and Leizpig leads 3-0. Real Madrid is having a hard time against Sheriff and only just leads 1-0. Sheriff had two three good attacks that they have not played consistently to the end. If they would do that, they could surprise us again.
The match I'm most disappointed with at the moment is PSG against ManCity. It is lacking "drive", which would be expected for a top game like this.

[ShowOff]

Manchester City vs PSG
Atlético vs AC Milan
Liverpool vs Porto
Sheriff vs Real Madrid.

Among the 4 match above, only Real Madrid managed to score 2 goals in the first half, while the other 3 match were still goalless draws. PSG and Manchester City might have to thank Leipzig today as they have won 4 goals vs Brugge in just the first half and there probably won't be a sensational comeback from Brugge today. It would be safe to see Manchester City or PSG lose, but I'm happy to see Manchester City dominate most of the first half with lots of chance. I hope they win today and that's great for the fans.

This would sound nice if it was clubs like Manchester United or even Liverpool who have been in Europa in the Recent times but Barcelona?
When was the last time you heard or witnessed Barcelona playing in the Europa competition? 

Europa is a good competition, but it would be a total under achievement for Barcelona to drop there and worse still get walloped by some other team in that competition.

Still 0-0 for Milan.
Liverpool is winning versus Porto so, incredibly they still have a small canche to qualify with only 1 point.

They must beat Atletico

Atletico Madrid need a win in today's match to keep them away from Porto, but AC Milan will certainly not allow to be knocked out of the Europa League despite failing in the Champions League. Milan needed a win to get into the Europa League by finishing third in the group stage, so Atletico will surely struggle to win today's match.

Meanwhile, City had just scored a second goal, but seeing as the game went on it was still possible to score before the end of the match. I guessed wrong this time.

I can't imagine Barcelona having to play in the Europa League, because Barcelona always has a tradition of playing in the Champions League. Likewise
this season, even though Barcelona played badly in the Champions League, I believe Barcelona will qualify for the next round. I admit Barcelona need
a bit of luck in the final round of group E, Barcelona hope Dynamo Kyiv can draw with Benfica. That way Barcelona can qualify for the next round,
but to be safer Barcelona do have to beat Bayern and that is very difficult to happen. Because when playing at home to Barcelona was defeated by Bayern
with a fairly large score, but football is full of surprises, we'll see if there are any surprises made by Barcelona.

PSG was the first to score today, but yet won by Manchester City, but it was both team score and over 2.5. Nice play.

Shakhtar is trying to keep the ball in his possession and try to draw the match goalless. They are playing very defensively. But they do not seem to be able to win by adopting defensive tactics. Inter Milan is an experienced team. Their forward lineup is good enough. In the second half they will play more aggressively and try to score goals.

Like I have once posted here just immediately before your post that Ukrainian club is going no where in champions league, UCL is not a league for some country league clubs because as they quality they will be ousted out in the group stage. Inter is very strong in Seria A this season, this makes Shakhtar not compatible. Even if they do not play defensive game, the club will still lose.

Atletico 0:1 Milan. Milan played very solid game, pushed hard and deserved to win. Now in this group situation is extremely interesting before last round. Porto, Miland and Atletico will fight for last spot. In other game, Liverpool achieved calm win against Porto 2:0
City beat PSG 2:1, despite conceding first. Had this game on second scree, so I haven't saw it in full, but seems that City were slightly better.
Brugge 0:5 Lepzig. Wow, what a performance from Leipzig. Despite it, they're out from Champions league, same like Brugge.
Sporting 3:1 Borussia. Very poor performance from Dortmund and late goal that they score doesn't mean anything. Sporting goes to next round, Borussia just to Europa league.

Intermilan managed to win and made their chances of going to the next round even bigger, edin dzeko today really became a hero for intermilan's victory, btw right now the match between real madrid and sherrif is ongoing and the temporary score is still 0-0, I think apart from real fans madrid who wanted their team to win, of course the Inter Milan fans today wished luck for real madrid .

With the win of Real Madrid today against Sheriff then both Inter and Real Madrid have advanced to the round of 16, and their last match against each other is going to be key as it will decide who gets to be the group winner and get seeded and match against an easier team during the knockout phase.

Something that surprises me is that Barcelona is still in second place on Group E with only 7 points, but when I see the domination of the Bayern Munich in that group then it makes more sense why they are still in that spot with such a low amount of points.
