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

[cryptofrka]

The only interesting group today is group B, where Liverpool has already qualified and all other teams still have a chance to continue to the knockouts.

I think that Porto is a favorite - a point against Atletico at home will probably be enough. Although Liverpool will rotate heavily they will still go for a win and even a rotated Liverpool team looks better than Milan to me. So, I feel that Milan cannot progress because they need a win and the better team from Porto - Atletico will remain in the competition.

Today's Group B matches promise to be very interesting, with 3 teams fighting for promotion to the next stages of the cups. FC Porto, which hosts Atletico Madrid, seem to be in the best position. In case of victory, the hosts have some promotion, but a draw can also give them one. Much will also depend on the attitude of Liverpool, which has long been secured in the first place in the group and may play against Milan in the reserve squad. Personally, I keep my fingers crossed for the advance of the Portuguese team.

Tomorrow is a very important day for Barcelona. Because they must win against Bayern Munich to guarantee their ticket to the next round. Because Benfica are going to destroy Dinamo Kyiv most probably. And they have no choice rather than winning to have a chance for the second place. Let's say they won, Barcelona have to win to stay in this tournament. But honestly, I don't think that Barcelona can beat Bayern Munich.

Yes, this match is gonna be a big match for Barcelona. Already the team holding the pressure to win will make opportunity for the winning of FC Bayern Munchen. Barcelona have got very low winning probability of 20% whereas Bayern have got 60% which is a big variation. In the past five matches, Bayern have won all the five matches whereas Barcelona have won just two matches.

Barcelona looking forward an immediate win against Bayern to qualify for the Champions League knockouts stage. But, Bayern will not be chilling out. Only a miracle happens that Barca wins, but Bayern have won all their last five matches. Truth is that everybody anticipates that Bayern Munich should win. I can't really accept that Barca will win on the grounds because the feeling of Lewandowski. Barcelona will play with fear and it will hunt them, Bayern got nothing to loose. An extremely bad days might be waiting for Barcelona fans.

It is time for watching another football show in the Milan - Liverpool game today. I remember their last game against each other in the group. Milan made them really big difficulties but Liverpool still managed to be victorious by a 3-2 result. I expect another game with many goals truthfully. But this time, Milan might not be the losing side. My score predictions are 2-2 and 3-2.

AC Milan are in difficult times even if Liverpool do a little rotation of their players but all the games will look no change compared to Milan who are still trying and this is still dependent on Porto winning.

There is no other way for Milan to qualify at this stage, winning a lot against Liverpool and Porto losing to Atletico Madrid, but it is impossible for me and Liverpool will triumph.
But the big opportunity is Porto playing at home.

The teams' odds are quite eloquent:
Bayern Munich FC Barcelona
1.66 - 4.70 - 4.20

SL Benfica FC Dynamo Kiev
1.32 - 5.00 - 11.00

But in fact, I would change the odds for these two pairs - I am more confident in the victory of Bavaria than in the victory of Benfica. I think that the multi-bet on favorites here looks profitable, the odds are very attractive: 2.19 If you add additional outcomes, for example, total goals, then you can achieve an even higher coefficient.

I don't see the games as clearly as the odds suggest. Bayern is not quite as strong as it was at the beginning of the season. Although Barca lost to Betis in the league, I think there can be a surprise if Xavi's work starts to bear fruit. Therefore, I would rather go for double chance Barca.
Similarly with Benfica against Kiev. Kiev has not played badly and if you would take a little risk, then I would also go on double chance Kiev.

Judging by the results, Benfica has some decline, which is why I doubt more about Benfica's victory. But as far as Bayern's slight decline (if any) is concerned, it doesn't really matter since Barcelona is now a normal average La Liga team. Bayern must win a home match against such a team in any condition. I would be very surprised if Bayern won by less than 2 goals.

Real Madrid v Inter is also a nice one among the CL games tonight. It is a decider game for which one of them will be the leader at the end. And Real Madrid have a very big advantage now. Not only they are playing better than Inter these days but also it is going to be a home game for Real Madrid. While they are having this pluses, they shouldn't make a huge mistake and should get the result that is enough for them.

AC Milan are in difficult times even if Liverpool do a little rotation of their players but all the games will look no change compared to Milan who are still trying and this is still dependent on Porto winning.

Chance for AC Milan to be qualified after all is very small and they can not decide it. They have to depend on Porto's result.

There is no other way for Milan to qualify at this stage, winning a lot against Liverpool and Porto losing to Atletico Madrid, but it is impossible for me and Liverpool will triumph.
But the big opportunity is Porto playing at home.

More important, AC Milan have worse quality than Liverpool so they will not have too good chance to win 3 points and wait for Porto. Liverpool have many seasons in Champions League with Klopp and they won it years ago. AC Milan only participate in Champions League first time after many years.

Milan will probably lose this match and out of Champions League.

What is the reason you say Sporting is better? while Ajax have a better record also play at home of course  Ajax chance is bigger
Even a draw is the best result for Sporting I don't see Sporting having a chance to win

I don't say it's better, I say it's in better shape now than when they played in the first leg. The teams are very similar.

And we see this in the results in the national championships:



When looking at the internal results, I would even say that Sporting is better, that with fewer games, they have the same number of points and zero defeats.

Tonight is Champions League night!

Bayern vs Barcelona will be the main event. As an attempt to seal qualification, FC Barcelona will have to face Bayern Munich in the last game of the group. They can make it to the last 16 of the Champions League with a win, but Bayern Munich is likely to beat Barcelona. Aside from that, Barcelona's qualification is in the hands of Benfica as well. There could be any number of complications, but Barcelona still hold the key to their fate.

For sure this match is big but I don't see it as the main event for today. Perhaps, if Barcelona was the Barca of previous years but at the moment this Barca can't be compared with Bayern Munich neither they hold any key. Unfortunately, is all upon Bayern in today's match.

More important, AC Milan have worse quality than Liverpool so they will not have too good chance to win 3 points and wait for Porto. Liverpool have many seasons in Champions League with Klopp and they won it years ago. AC Milan only participate in Champions League first time after many years.

Milan will probably lose this match and out of Champions League.

We share the same thoughts here but if Liverpool decides to rotate and rest their first-liners, Milan can take the win. Besides Porto, doesn't have an easy task against Atletico.

I just trudge from how this thread comes to life before each new round of the Champions League, and most importantly, the opinions and content in this thread is pretty bearable, (therefore, before placing bets, I often look here). However, I noticed some differences between public opinion, the opinion of the suppliers of coefficients and the opinion of AI, the artificial intelligence from fivethirtyeight predicts a 50% chance of Liverpool winning, while the odds providers give it 3 to 1.

For me personally, the main match of this round will be the match of Real against Inter, and although I bet on the victory of Real, I still think that Inter will show fangs today.

[ShowOff]

For me personally, the main match of this round will be the match of Real against Inter, and although I bet on the victory of Real, I still think that Inter will show fangs today.

But before that, let's take a look at the consolation matches between Leipzig vs Manchester City and PSG vs Club Brugge. Both Manchester City and PSG have confirmed that they will both qualify for the next round, but victory will greatly affect the team's motivation to do their best in the next match. I'm still very curious about PSG because so far they haven't been at their best. Messi should write his name on the scoreboard, this will make him more confident as a star player.

i will not miss the Liverpool vs Milan match, Liverpool and Milan have become eternal rivals, the two teams will definitely appear adamant and will not give in but this time Milan will benefit from playing at the San Siro.  i also predict a thin score for Milan's victory in this match ^{(2-1 0r 3-2)}

It's a contest in Group A with both Club de Brugge and RB Leipzig no hopes to qualify for next round they will be finding two heavyweights PSG and Man City to atleast secure the Europa seats for themselves. For Leipzig however it won't be easy but PSG being bit unusual and Club de Brugge who are quite a surprising underdog it would be an interesting contest to watch. I however have doubts on Leipzig confirming but well lets see, they also have some good players who can change things but it would be very hard to score and defend against CIty.

[W Jr.]

If Club Brugge wants to go to the Europa league, they have to do the hard thing today and earn points from Paris SG. Leipzig will probably not score points from Manchester City. If Club Brugge fails to score points in this match, they will end their European adventure. Leipzig will continue on its way in the Europa league.

In this group, only Leipzig and Bruges have motivation, because Manchester City will remain the first even if they lose today. As for Mesi, I think that there is a high probability today not to be seen in the starting lineup and in the game in general. Often, when the match means nothing for the team, the coach gives the players of the first team an opportunity to rest in order to focus on the championship games.

If Club Brugge fails to score points in this match, they will end their European adventure. Leipzig will continue on its way in the Europa league.

What if Club Brugge and Leipzig fail to win, maybe Leipzig can qualify because it could be a goal difference and this also depends on Club Brugge so I just want to know how many goals they scored even though they still lost.

In another group game Milan will need a miracle to win, Like many people say.
Madrid vs Inter who will win the group?

Tomorrow's game I'm looking forward to Bayern vs Barcelona.

It will be the last turn.

Milan need to beat Leaverpool and hope for Atletico beating Porto to be able to join the final phase.

A lot of groups are already decided at least if it comes to which teams are advancing into the group stage of the Champions League. In Group A we still have a battle for the 3rd position of the table between RB Leipzig and Brügge.

That is still the only exciting question in this group. ManCity is surely already first, PSG is surely already second and it's only about third place and the decision who stays in the Euro League. Whereby, actually, this question is already pretty much settled: Leipzig. I think that both ManCity and PSG will win and that Leipzig will remain third. I can't imagine that Brugge can get a point against PSG.

Before betting on last round games, it's worth to look at tables because some favorites may rest their main players
Leipzig - City. Good odds for City, but it's meaningless game for them, while Leipzig still fight for Europa league spot. So, I avoid betting on City today and pick BTTS and over 2.5 goals, despite that odds isn't high.
In PSG - Brugge game I don't see any chances for Brugge. So, my bet is over 3.5 goals @1.80.
