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

[Wawa2013]

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

I'm very surprised AC Milan managed to beat Atletico, even though AC Milan underwent the first 3 matches in the group phase with consecutive defeats.
But with this victory AC Milan's chance to qualify for the next round is open, even though AC Milan's chance to qualify is very small, because in the last
round they had to meet Liverpool as group B winners with perfect points so far. After all, if there is a surprise that AC Milan can finally beat Liverpool,
it will be in vain if Porto manages to beat Atletico. The competition in Group B is still very interesting, because 3 teams compete to qualify for the next round.
I'm quite curious which team will finally be able to qualify for the next round with Liverpool.

A big difference between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, maybe the French team has more stars in each line, and brought a battalion of names in the summer, but City is an organized and tactically strong team, and has a coach who knows how to bring out the best in his players on the field.
Guardiola and his team presented a wonderful symphony, especially after the delay in the result in the second half, with a strong return and a well deserved victory. It is enough for the second goal shot that confirms everything,

I think everyone is shocked that Milan won this match. Atletico only needed a draw and they went for it but Milan was able to score a late goal and win the match. Milan only needed a win and they finally woke up in the Champions league amd now they have a great chance to go to the next round

[Yogee]

Which teams are through to the round of 16?

Ajax (NED)
Bayern (GER)
Chelsea (ENG)
Inter (ITA)
Juventus (ITA)
Liverpool (ENG)
Manchester City (ENG)
Manchester United (ENG)
Paris Saint-Germain (FRA)
Real Madrid (ESP)
Sporting CP (POR)

There are still five remaining teams to be determined on matchday 6 but what do you think of the teams already through? I'm pleasantly surprised to see four teams from PL and each one of them at the top of their respective groups. Only one team representing La Liga or Bundesliga so far comes as a surprise as well.

Yeah, the are in a almost similar situation like Barcelona where they'd need to win their last match to make it through the group, but looking at the fact that Liverpool have secured 1st position already, they might necessarily want to risk their best players know how important the next month would be for their players and they'd need to keep them fit, that might give AC Milan a chance at getting 3 points, but it's easier said than done:

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.

Manchester City achieved 3 winning points against PSG. Is was an interesting match. After they ended the first half in goalless draw, Mbappe score a goal 5 minutes into the 2nd half, but Sterling equalize the game at the 63th minutes. But, Gabriel Jesus saved Manchester City from drawing the match by securing the 2nd goal. And City won with 2-1 score. While Milan played a tough game against Atletico Madrid, but was able to score towards the end of match. They had 4 shot on target. Nevertheless, this is Milan's first won match at the champion League this season. However, as expected, Real Madrid won against Sheriff with 3 goals. Sheriff started the Champion League with good performance, but they couldn't withstand Real Madrid's squad, and probably Lost the match.

Beşiktaş played very well, but could not breathe until the end of the match. Unfortunately, Ajax increased the pressure and won the game by scoring two goals with Haller, when Larin wasted the net positions and the second goal didn't come. Ajax is giving a legendary performance by winning all their matches. This group was really tough. Even Dortmund remained in third place. The Portuguese and Dutch champions played completely different games. The viewers didn't give due importance to this group, in fact, it was the most competitive group. All the matches passed with great excitement. Those who didn't watch missed a lot.

It is a big failure for Dortmund with a third place in this group. They began it very good and now things are bad for them. Champions League is a source of income that is important for all clubs. Being disqualified after the qualification stage is bad for all big clubs and their income will be affected. The injury of Haaland affects Dortmund more seriously in Champions League than in Bundesliga.

A few seasons after the one with De Ligt, De Jong, Ziyech, etc. Ajax are coming back with this amazing season. So far they have proved that other clubs should not underestimate them in this season.

The fact that Manchester City will take revenge on Paris Saint Germain was quite expected, because the price of the question was the first place in the group match was held in Manchester. Milan had an almost hopeless situation, into which the club drove itself with unsuccessful results in the opening rounds, but the victory over Atletico Madrid dramatically shook up the situation and confused all the cards and layouts and now allows the club to even hope for the continuation of the fight in the Champions League and reaching the next stage of the tournament. Another question is whether Liverpool will allow themselves to be beaten at home, despite the fact that Liverpool have already solved all their tournament tasks and whether there will be a draw in the last round between Porto and Atletico.

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

B group is still waiting until the match 6th to know who is eligible to accompany Liverpool for the next step. Milan vs Liverpool while Porto vs Atletico, decider match in the next 2 weeks. Milan and Atletico will fail when Porto gets wins. while Milan must win with many goal differences at San Siro, this same situation with Atletico when playing away at Estádio do Dragão.

[Igebotz]

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.

It's beautiful sight to see all of La Liga's teams faltering in the competition after dominating it with all of the greatest players in the league; since the most of them left, they've struggled to get past the group stages, with the English league now dominating. Who'd have guessed that Atletico Madrid would struggle in a group that included Liverpool, Porto, and AC Milan?

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.

PSG spent too much to get a comfortable win over Mancity and not get humility over two legs played, finishing below Manchester City despite having a squad full of super stars. It's shocking how bad Pochetino has become since leaving Tottenham. Is he the same man who Manutd fans are clamoring for to take Ole's place? What a pitiful team with no ambition. Despite being trophy-less for the past five years, the team continues to hire a manager who has never won a trophy.

[KingsDen]

I do not really understand what Dortmund is upto in this season's Champions league. They are seriously heading to Europa League. I'm not even surprised because they came in through play off.
How can Dorrmund loss to Sporting 3 goals to 1 and conceive red card, same scenario that played out last Champions league match that they played Ajax. Same result, same red card.
Let me wait for the miracle that will lead them in, maybe weak Besiktas that couldn't secure even a half point.

B group is still waiting until the match 6th to know who is eligible to accompany Liverpool for the next step. Milan vs Liverpool while Porto vs Atletico, decider match in the next 2 weeks. Milan and Atletico will fail when Porto gets wins. while Milan must win with many goal differences at San Siro, this same situation with Atletico when playing away at Estádio do Dragão.

AC Milan gave a surprise in this match. I'm quite happy even though I still have to wait for the results of the last match between Porto vs Atletico. If atletico lose, and milan lose not more than 1 goals, so they can play in UEL.

I'm curious about Donnarumma, he's trending on Twitter, I don't follow PSG matches, is he considered the player who made PSG lose?
In fact, he is quite optimistic before match, and wants to prove that he is worthy of being started by PSG.  

[Rruchi man]

Pochetino may not just be bad, the fact is Pep is very good tactically he makes some other coaches look as though they are not doing enough. With a squad like PSG though, before the start of the UCL, you would have easily imagined that sorry is the name of any team that meets them, But we are seeing a fairly regular team in play with almost no difference from other teams with names not as big as those in PSG. I am really wondering if Pochetino cannot do well with "Messi, Mbappe & Neymar, alongside some other big names" in PSG, how will he fair with CR7 and the likes of Pogba in Manchester United if he joins them?

For sure a magnificent win for City, might be suite such an extraordinary execution. With helping my Sixth Sense I've anticipated such outcome. Jesus the match champ as City secure win against PSG and ensure top spot in group A. That super cross from Riyad Karim Mahrez with a lovely touch of Bernardo and good finish from Jesus. Actually it was supposed to be home winner for City, regardless the defeat PSG are through to the next stage with Man City.

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.

Last match become the key for AC Milan, Porto and Atletico Madrid qualify to the next stage, third club have the same chance who will be qualify exactly for AC Milan have bigger chance than Porto or Atletico Madrid, but last match Milan should defeat Liverpool and win what ever score to get second position, but if failed and other match Porto playing draw or win from Atletico Madrid make him as second position under Liverpool.

I bet on Ajax's victory. They did not disappoint me. At the end of the first half, Besiktas was leading 1-0. Then I thought maybe I'm going to lose the bet. But Ajax came back brilliantly in the second half. Sabastien Haller scored twice in the second half and Ajax won the match 2-1. Besiktas didn't get a chance to attack much in the second half.

[LittleBitFunny]

Barcelona could not score a goal against Benfica. The match ended in a goalless draw. However, Barcelona played well enough. Barcelona's gameplay was good enough. Barcelona has played better today than at least in the last few matches. In the last match in the champions league, they will play against the strong Bayern Munich. And it's Bayern Munich's home match. Hopefully we can see the stable gameplay of Barcelona against Bayern.

Milan and Atletico will fail when Porto gets wins. while Milan must win with many goal differences at San Siro, this same situation with Atletico when playing away at Estádio do Dragão.

The easiest scenario for Milan to qualify to the next stage is by winning against Liverpool while Porto vs Atletico ended with a draw. In case both Milan and Atletico win the last match, the goal difference is the one to decide which team will go through because head to head between Milan and Atletico is the same/equal (1 win and 2 goals). If the goal difference will be the same after the last match, the number of given cards will be the last factor. The team with less cards will go through.
