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

[EdenHazard]

I've newly got some information about it and it is really shocking to me. How did they manage to do a big mistake like that? I was happy to see a draw between PSG and Manchester United as it meant Messi vs Ronaldo at the same time. But their simple mistake led to this now. As far as I know, the draw will take place again in a few minutes. I hope that there won't be any problem again. But this is really one of the most interesting incidents happened after a long time.

The draw is in progress I think it's a mistake that we can't deny but I'm sure with the draw now it can go well.
Maybe Manchester can breathe easier, which will initially meet PSG, but this time the results will definitely be different, the most important thing is that the opponent will be tough and I'm watching the draw.

lol if the draw vulnerable for the second time ... i think someone have to be fired!

there of course will be a lot of views.. assumptions.. etc regarding this , some will say it's just alright, nobody wanted doing a mistake , simplu just repeat.
and some will say it's just yet another UEFA scandal which it's yeah .. too much suspicious things happened around them. shame on UEFA.

PSG vs Manchester United - in this pair, a lot will depend on Manchester United and how the team will approach the match and I'm more interested in the confrontation between Messi - Ronaldo

I always wonder about the credibility of these draws, how come Ronaldo and Messi's team are both drawn up against each other. There's a lot of corruption in Football  and the champions league draw seems very rigged to me. This encounter may be the last time both GOAT's play against eachother in their career.

I think your opinion is wrong. in terms of football anything can happen. You said earlier that there was corruption, if there is a possibility of corruption, the committee will surely bring together in the semifinals, of course it will be more profitable for UEFA. And surely everyone who loves football will watch it live either on the field or in the media. that's in my opinion.

The new draw was more favorable for some clubs. Mainly for Benfica, who stayed with a more favorable team and more at their level.

There are so many different views about repeating the last 16 result, even though the EUFA is not very professional, some say that, but I don't know why this can happen but the results have already been decided earlier.

It's the same as Inter, which was originally an equal team in my opinion, but with the current results Inter will be harder to face, namely Liverpool.

[KingsDen]

I don't understand the lucky level of Chelsea. They remained with their weak opponent. Let it not turn a hard luck to them o.
Benfica is advantaged, I think they can put a good fight against Ajax.
Then my Manchester United is just lucky. Atletico Madrid is a better option for us that angry PSG.
I know PSG might eventually meet thier end with Real Madrid.

All the English clubs have high chances of qualifying.

I think this is a better draw that looks a little less engineered than the former, even if both Messi and Ronaldo will finally get to play against each other again, it shouldn't be from a UEFA draw that sends the idea that the intention to make profit is there but should happen normally. PSG vs Madrid is going to be such an encounter as well because Madrid is in form at the moment with the like of Benzema who is banging goals. As for Athletico Madrid vs Manchester United, the evener of the odds is just CR7 who can inspire the team, otherwise i feel MUFC don't stand a chance.

The second draw resulted in much better pairings than the first. In particular, there are now three top matches. PSG against Real will certainly be a cracker. But Atletico vs ManUnited and Inter Milan vs Liverpool are sure to be pretty interesting games as well.
My top favorite for the title, Bayern Munich, has probably been drawn the easiest opponent with Red Bull Salzburg.

Unlucky draw for Inter, they get harder team after redraw. From Ajax changed to Liverpool, interesting fact is that these are the only 2 teams in the group stage with perfect points. Although Ajax is also a strong team but I think Liverpool is better than Ajax.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chesley and Ajax can be congratulated on reaching the next round right now. Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have big chances. And in the PSG - Real Madrid match, both teams have equal chances. This stage in the Champions League will not be very interesting.

If I were in the place of the teams that drew strong opponents, I would object to this draw as well. Joking aside, there was a big scandal today. Although they tried to make up for it, trust was damaged once. After this time, there is no confidence left in UEFA in draws. If you remember, there was a hot ball-cold ball event before. This scandal was worse than that though.

[LTU_btc]

I can't remember anything similar with Champions league draw when they had temake it again . It's early to talk about games, it will be played after 2.5 months, so, many things may change until it. My thoughts about draw:
PSG - Real. It should be good. Currently Real looks as favorites there.
Inter - Liverpool. 2nd best pair. I think LFC is slightly favorites.
Atletico - MU. Both teams isn't very consistent, but I would back MU just because of Ronaldo - he likes to score against Atletico.
Benfica - Ajax. Should be very fun to watch. If Ajax will remain so hot until February, they are favorites.
Zalcburg - Bayern and Chelsea - Lille, I think everything is more than obvious there.
Villarrea - Juventus. Both teams don't look very good this season. Juve is better on paper, but I think it's not worth to understimate Villarreal.

We are waiting for a very interesting pair in 1/8 I'm about PSG vs Madrid. It seems to me that this pair is still a favorite of PSG. PSG is already focused only on the Champions League and therefore the team will have more strength before this confrontation.

[joker_josue]

Benfica - Ajax. Should be very fun to watch. If Ajax will remain so hot until February, they are favorites.

I don't see them as so favorite. I understand why Ajax is said to have some favouritism. But, in turn, Benfica has a strong midfield and is also very good in the counterattack. If they play like they did against Barcelona, Ajax will have more difficulty.

a draw with a lot of interesting games ... i have marked my favorites in bold. bayern and chelsea should have no problems to enter the 1/4-finals - in the other games, as so often, the daily form of winning or losing will be very decisive
in any case, it is first of all an advantage to have an away game

Only this time I heard the draw was cancelled. It's like a music concert. LOL. It illustrates how bad the UEFA system is, they made small mistakes that put credibility into question. I hope problems like this will not be repeated because as well as I know UCL only this time I experienced it.
Rescheduling the match is certainly an interesting match is Madrid vs PSG. The 2019 match ended in a draw. It's hard to guess who qualified but I'm looking forward to Madrid. In addition, I am also looking for all four English teams that will qualify for the next round.

[W Jr.]

The draws were repeated in Champions League matches. It was a moment that will be remembered for a long time. Interestingly, Lille-Chelsea pairing was the same in both pairings. Ajax-Benfica match will also cause us to watch a good match.

I guess you watched Benfica matches but didn't watch Ajax matches. Ajax played very dominant and won all of their games. Their stats are ridiculous. Haller is the top goalscorer in the tournament. Ajax is heavy favorite against Benfica in this draw. I believe they can go way farther than quarter finals this year.
PSG - Real must be the most difficult draw here. Too bad one of them will be eliminated early.

[laurenB7742]

The match between Liverpool and Inter Milan will be competitive. However, the chances of Liverpool winning are high. They have been playing well since the beginning of the season. The main striker Salah is in form. At the same time, every player of the team is showing remarkable performance in his place. They have played well in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Liverpool will be looking to win both the Premier League and Champions League titles this season.

Ajax were in the weakest group of this year's edition. It's true that Sporting lost twice with them, but in the first game it was due to their inexperience, and in the second they were already qualified and took the second team. Either way, Ajax are a great team. And it will be a lot of work for Benfica.

[snipie]

PSG was strong on paper in the beginning of the season especially after signing Messi and Ramos but honestly right now, I doubt they could make it to the finals. Maybe in the upcoming weeks their gameplay might improve and prove me wrong but until then I think two teams between Bayern, City, Liverpool and Chelsea will play finals.

Although I don't really like your way of paraphrasing clippings from articles ... nevertheless, I probably disagree with you or with si.com. It's all about priorities, and the Champions League is not among Messi's priorities, but perhaps the club's management and such young players as Mbappe want this, but definitely not the one who wants to take the first line in the history of world football.

Who is Messi's closest competitor for this title? Ronaldo? Now compare his trophies with the trophies of everyone's favorite Portuguese and you will understand what I mean. If I knew where I can now bet on the fact that Messi will play in the Premier League in two years, I would have done it without hesitation, since having won the Premier League championship, Messi would have been able to catch up with Ronaldo in terms of the number of cups he owns.

The French outfit have one of the best teams in the world. On paper. Unfortunately for them 'on paper' doesn't win you the major honours. With Lionel Messi finally in the scoring books [...]

You are wrong. The site you came up with might have the same way of writing? but I am not used to do this and won't. I read many articles in different languages during the day so I might be influenced with some.
Nice draw for real, it is quite embarrassing but we ended up having PSG playing vs Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter, ManU and Villarreal. I believe those 3 games are the hardest and the most unpredictable since the others are quite easier with a clear favourite in each. I expect ManU, Liverpool and Real Madrid to pass to the next stage but I couldn't endorse them in any bet. Better to wait for the result of the first leg to have an idea.
