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

[Expecto]

PSG had a really interesting draw against Real Madrid. The first leg is going to be played in Parc des Princes in two months. Real Madrid have a superb form now and I can't say a certain thing for this draw for now. PSG are already the favourite club of this draw but I'm not saying there is no probability for Real Madrid to eliminate them too. PSG should capture a good advantage after the first leg.

Liverpool has been very consistent in UCL this season and previous seasons, thus I don't think Inter can pose any serious threat to their qualification, though they are more tougher than Salzburg who where initially paired  Liverpool, Salah and other African players will be back in the squad after African Nation Cup in January, there is no doubt will Liverpool would scale through that stage going by their pedigree in the UCL and past records.

I wouldn't look down on Inter. Like Liverpool, they have been real solid since the start of the season. Thus far this season, they lost just thrice  —once in the seria A and twice to Real Madrid in the just concluded group stage games. Klopp should be wary of this Italian team. But one thing I keep assuring myself is that of Madrid was able to beat them, so will Liverpool. It's going to be an interesting game which I'm definitely not going to miss.

Yeah, Inter are not like a team to be overlooked that easy. Their performance in the Serie A especially has been attention getting without a doubt. They started to the CL season badly but made up for their mistakes later by getting crucial wins. However, they lost to Real Madrid home and away both. But from now on, we never know what can happen. Maybe they will surprise us by putting a great deal of effort in both matches vs Liverpool.

Like I said, it would definitely be an interesting match to watch even though I do think that Inter is not up to Liverpool's standard despite being on top of the seria A table. Anyone who have watched both teams played would know why I'm confident about my team — I mean, see how we won Milan when needed a win most even with a second tier selection by Klopp (with few exceptions) we beat them easily beat them.

I wish that we had the first draw successfully as PSG were going to play against Manchester United. I really want to see Messi and Ronaldo playing against each other again before one of them retires. But maybe they can face each other in the quarter final stage. Because I think PSG and Manchester United will be eliminating Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in last 16 stage.

[Yogee]

I thought Man United was already done for when I first saw the result of the draw posted in social media and I wasn't aware it changed again. Another Ronaldo vs. Messi encounter would be nice but Real Madrid vs. PSG looks more exciting to watch.

PSG will be in better shape in two months if they do not suffer major injuries. Their trio and the rest of the squad will play more cohesively by the time they face Madrid.

I don't think I want Messi playing against Ronaldo, but maybe in the finals for posterity or glamor sake, It might be worth it, playing against each doesn't prove one player is better than the other, both players would do what's necessary for their respective teams, and even other pitch they don't even defend or mark each other, so what's the essence of them playing against each other. That said, I think I'm more intrigued by PSG vs Real Madrid than I was about PSG vs Man Utd.

In my humble opinion, the Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain pair is the most interesting pair of the 1/8 Champions League final. Lionel Messi is again against his clients from Real Madrid, as well as Sergio Ramos, who himself has already become a Real Madrid legend against his former club It all looks very, very promising. By the way, the fact that the matches themselves are still two months away negates the very fact of Real Madrid's potential advantage, because a lot can happen during this time. Also, according to rumors, Real Madrid seems to be thinking about filing a protest about the results of the draw, because it seems that the initial version with Benfica suits much more guys from Madrid

[judas]

After the draws were repeated, we still got some interesting draws again. The most interesting ones are these:

PSG - Real Madrid
Inter - Liverpool
Atletico Madrid - Manchester United

And I will be favouring PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United in these draws. Real Madrid have been showing a really decent performance recently but PSG are one of the biggest contenders for even the CL title now. And I don't expect them to stumble against Real Madrid. Inter might make some difficulties for Liverpool in the first leg but I'm confident that Liverpool will finish the job in the second leg. And for the last draw, I expect the first leg to end in a draw. And Manchester United would beat Atletico Madrid by one goal in the worst case in Old Trafford.

No comment on the first two but I also expect a low scoring game between Atletico Madrid and Man United.

MU would probably win if the match is done today since they looked to be in a good momentum while Atletico continues to struggle.

Are you going to bet on these matches this early?

chelsea had great luck, they will play against a team that does not pose any danger to chelsea at least i think that way


Liverpool are also a little comfortable, Inter are strong in Serie A but against liverpool they will have little strength

Benfica had great bad luck, they will lose for sure, Ajax is a danger

Manchester United will also lose

RR might be able to rebuild Manchester United before February 2022. With the rate of decipline he is planting in the players, if he spices up with a working game play, the boys will be formidable. So, it will not wise to write Manchester United off so easily.
Whatever be the case, Atletico Madrid is a more favourable option to Manchester United than the fast and furious PSG attack.
Let's watch and see.

Actually I'm thinking that Real Madrid is going to get Past PSG the Blancos are in a great form Benzema and Vinicius are in fire right now while for PSG I cannot say the same for them, Pochettino turned out to be not the man for then and Messi is a not even the shadow of him , the only danger that will be coming from the parisien side is going to be Mbappe as Neymar is also not having a good season and currently injured don't know if he is going to recover by that time most likely he is but still he is not promising to see play either.

Destiny, Only those clubs (Lille and Chelsea) do not change on 2nd drawing.

Chelsea do not be careless, we know they have strong on paper and always got the win vs Lille in the last meet. Maybe because without a target, Lille will play leisurely without a burden, this is different from Chelsea, they are the defending champions who have to win. maybe there will be a surprise if the defending champion is eliminated on the 2nd stage.

Don't just grade Lille so little bud, don't forget that club has produced great players who never even knew how great they were until consistent training, tutoring and good gameplay made them who they are today.
Chelsea won them though, these is because they're in fine form this season. The have been awarded the best in premier league and that's somewhat true and to my own discreetion, Chelsea is the best in Europe for now
I'm not a fan though

I feel the opposite because I believe Manchester United will win and progress ahead, and I’m saying it because there’re visible signs of changes but the new coach needs some more time to implement his tactics. Furthermore he’ll be able to get a player or two in January which will further strengthen the club, hence I have no doubt in my mind that Manchester United will be able to beat Atletico.

I also agree with you, psg was able to make Real Madrid lose, and psg was able to step into the big 8 round, as well as manchester united, i am also optimistic that manchester united can beat atm, because atm's performance is currently unstable, if the liferpol problem can be confirmed can beat Inter Milan in the two legs of the meeting, we'll see if our predictions are right or wrong..

[Jackl87]

Today we witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime mistake and perhaps it is not over yet as Real Madrid may have another appeal for the draw as their ball was drawn correctly.
Absurd how UEFA has discharged the responsibility for what happened by blaming the system made by others.

And yes another reason for appeal is PSG-REAL on the version 2

Weird days at the moment. First the FIA is totally embarassing itself with it's weird decisions that it made during the final Formula 1 grand prix of this season and now this stupid mistake of the uefa. I mean that two teams that already played against each other during the group stage can not face each other again in the first Playoff game is probably one of the oldest and easiest rules in football and still they somehow managed to completely botch that drawing yesterday.

[Shagnasty]

But maybe they can face each other in the quarter final stage. Because I think PSG and Manchester United will be eliminating Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in last 16 stage.

Yes it is the most awaited contest and fans from all around the would want to see messi and ronaldo on the same field and I am eagerly waiting for this moment.
But I can not take real madrid lightly that they will be eliminated. They also have a good team and are in good form as well. So nothing can be predicted. Lets see how it goes.

I think this Paris Saint German vs Real Madrid tie is the most exciting draw in this knockout round. Ancelotti has put his team Real Madrid in  a form that only few teams can challenge them. They defeated Atletico Madrid few days ago and displayed a very decent play through out the game. PSG have not been playing too good. They may be winning some games but have not played too good as a team. Looking at how Real Madrid plays as a team, they will easily defeat PSG. PSG are defensively poor, we all know that. I do not know how Pochettino will set up his side against Real Madrid. I will also tick Real Madrid to win PSG.

You want Ronaldo Manchester United team to play Lionel Messi PSG team in the champions League final,that's hilarious because Manchester United can't reach the champions League final, with the way the are playing.it will be nice to see Sergio Ramos playing against Madrid, I think the toughest game will be the one between Liverpool and inter Milan.
