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

[Boristhecat]

I am surprised to see a team like Celtic playing in the first round of the qualifiers. Scottish football isn't at its best unfortunately.
Even a team like Ludogorets taking part this early is surprising taking into account that they used to play in the group stages of the UCL a few seasons ago.

This is the rating system - Scottish teams (clubs and the national team) perform poorly in European competitions, at the national level too, so their representation is shrinking. If my memory serves me, a very long time ago (more than 20 years ago) two clubs from Scotland regularly played in European competitions - Celtic and Glasgow Rangers and they had quite good results for the underdogs.

All eyes are on Ramos in this match. We all know Ramos has played for Real Madrid for a long time. He is one of the legendary players of Real Madrid. He tried his best to win Real Madrid. Now he will play against Real Madrid. However, he has already told the media that he wants to beat Real Madrid. However, I look forward to seeing the performances of Messi, Mbappe and Ramos against Real Madrid.

I am waiting for this because indeed it is something worth waiting for how Sergio will play against the team he has played for for 16 seasons.
and this will be an emotional condition for me because that is how he will fight with his comrades in Madrid.
on the other hand this is also proof for him that being released by Madrid is something wrong.
This is a big match that is quite exciting and there could be surprises here

In the round of 16 of the Champions League I am looking forward to the matches between Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid.
Focusing on Les Parisiens vs Los Blancos, more interestingly, we know that at PSG there are Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, who previously became rivals and are now on the same team. And I hope Sergio Ramos can play, I want to see how he holds off the attack from his former team, Real Madrid.

If I look at the squad that PSG has at least it's still the best too, but considering their recent gameplay in their respective leagues it looks like Real Madrid is promising positive results. Anyway, of course it is the most awaited match but for the next match it will be about Inter v Liverpool and not about Atletico v Manchester United I think. The reason I'm more interested in the Inter v Liverpool match is because these two teams have looked good and consistent so far this season, it would be a shame if a team that was at their best was eliminated in the round of 16. At least the tension in the match is almost the same as the PSG v Real Madrid match, both of them are at the top of their respective leagues.

PSG vs. Real, Villarreal vs. Juve, Atletico vs. ManU are very unpredictable pairs, I'll wait a real rumble there...In each other pairs I can see a clear favorite, excluding, maybe, Benfica vs. Ajax.

I'm looking forward to the Liverpool vs Inter match mainly because I expect to see dramatic matches (we know Liverpool can do that) and a lot of goals. Both teams show very high performance: Liverpool scored 50 goals in 18 EPL matches, and Inter scored 49 in 19 Serie A matches. The chances that we will see something epic like 4-3 in every match and the like are very high.

Against Real Madrid, of course, it will be quite an emotional match for Ramos, I think this match can be a proving ground for Ramos who has been wasted by Madrid, so far Ramos has played a vital role at Madrid but in the end he had to be dumped by Madrid just because of his age. who is getting old, besides that of course I really want to see how the madrid fans respond to the arrival of their former captain, who has now become a PSG player and is ready to thwart madrid  journey in the champions league.

Comparing these two teams, I want to put my bet on Liverpool's victory. Both teams are stronger, but Liverpool are more stable. Their attack is now much better than before. The players are able to score regular goals. Liverpool's players have proved their worth in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Liverpool have scored the most goals in the Premier League. He has scored 50 goals in 18 matches. This number is too large. Inter Milan have scored 49 goals in 19 games. The match will be competitive, but I would expect Liverpool to win.

[Coyster]

A plus point for PSG is that Ramos has long played with Benzema and Vini. He is well aware of the weaknesses of these two players. The coach should decide the strategy in consultation with Ramos. Because no one knows Real Madrid better than Ramos.

I do not think that Ramos playing for Psg will have too much of an effect in this game, that's even if Ramos will play that day, cause since he moved to the French giants he has been struggling for fitness and hasn't played too many games, thus I'd not be surprised if Ramos does not play when this two sides meet. Ramos played for Madrid for quite a very long time, but that definitely doesn't mean he'll automatically know how to stop their attack or know the perfect strategy/formation to adopt in order to win the game, football does not work that way, he'll defend against them just as he'll do against any other team, and pochettino would definitely not need his opinion on the best strategy to play with.

Bookmakers fully agree with your assessment:
UEFA Champions League 2021/22 - Inter Milano reach the Quarter-Final?
No  1,20
Yes 4,05
I also rate Liverpool as a clear favorite, but I find these odds unfair. It turns out that bookmakers estimate the probability of Inter's success at about 15%. This is a clear underestimation. I think that Inter is able to win such meetings more often than once every 4 attempts.

For those who are following Ligue 1 right now, their question is whether Ramos will be able to play in that match and if he can, which player he will hit? and could he grab a yellow or a red card? That was a bit serious questions from some people I know.
Now Ramos know Real Madrid very well, its weakness and so on. Benzema will be controlled for sure but I think Real Madrid will count on other players to make the difference. They have to reduce the threat of the attack line and defensively PSG isn't that top. Real Madrid could manage to pass them if they use the right tactics imo.

Liverpool is a clear favorite in this duel there is no doubt about that. But Inter is playing some amazing football this season and it wont be easy for Liverpool at all and i wouldnt be shocked if Inter goes to the next round of champions league. Liverpool will have a difficult match

It is natural that many people prefer Liverpool to be the favorite who will qualify for the next round compared to Inter. Maybe because
previously Liverpool in the group phase managed to achieve perfect results by beating their three opponents home and away. Meanwhile,
Inter have lost several points and have to finish second behind Real Madrid. But that doesn't mean Liverpool will beat Inter easily, because
Inter are a strong team, even in the Serie A competition Inter are at the top right now. This means Liverpool must be careful when facing Inter,
but I predict Liverpool can beat Inter if they play disciplined against Inter and the main players are not injured.

Liverpool are now free from the injury storm that hit them and now they will not be the same as last season who were confused in selecting and sorting players because of the injuries that always haunted them.
It's very normal when they make Liverpool their favorite because Liverpool's performance this year is so good and it's very difficult to stop, especially in UCL.
6 Matches all won and this is something promising for them this season in UCL

Yes, it is not necessary to exaggerate the importance of Sergio Ramos in these meetings and in Paris Saint-Germain itself. If in Real Madrid Ramos was the leader of the team's defensive actions and the so-called leader of the locker room, then I don't think he can play the same role in Paris Saint-Germain, because unfortunately he never played a normal number of matches in his new team to prove himself in front of the team and the fans. It will be a landmark game for the footballer himself, but there is no certainty that Ramos can make a decisive contribution in these matches, as there is no certainty yet that the footballer will take part in these meetings at all. Unfortunately, Ramos still does not manage to constantly play in the club for various reasons.

You said Liverpool is absolutely the favorite team, but why you think Inter may defeat Liverpool.  
Both Liverpool and Inter Milan are strong teams, very difficult to predict which one to be qualified to the next stage. Inter did their best job in Serie A by leading the table, Liverpool is in 2nd place in EPL standings. They are in a good shape and ready to show their best in the next match. I don't think there is a favorite team here, they have almost the same quality and strength. I am sure the match will be tight and interesting, so I can't wait to watch their games.

I think looking with Liverpool record faced with Serie A team look most favorite to win and Liverpool become the only one team get perfect result on group stage, six match success win all and give proof why favorite Liverpool as candidate to the next stage phase. I think Inter Milan is not consistent on champion league after last match on group stage defeat by Real Madrid and they lost twice on group stage from bigger team. Liverpool easy winning from Inter Milan but still waiting on next month how many player keep fit or not because will make both team condition have changed full if Liverpool and Inter Milan playing without full team.

It will be a very interesting match to watch because both teams are the best and Inter Milan are the rulers in Serie A at the top of the table, and Liverpool are second in the EPL which will be a very tough opponent for Inter Milan.

If we judge head to head Liverpool it looks like it will be the favorite because Inter Milan has a negative meeting with Liverpool one win and three defeats.
and next month there will be plenty of time for both teams to really prepare for the game as a whole.

The PSG Vs Real Madrid match will be an interesting match. The two teams are in good shape. PSG are leading in the Ligue 1 standings, while Real Madrid on the other hand are also leading in the La Liga standings. Is quite hard to predict who wins, but I think many goals will probably be scored. Atletico Madrid will have a tough match against Manchester United. Atletico Madrid have to play this match carefully to avoid losing, Because Manchester United focus are mainly on their Champion League matches. However, the Round 16 will indeed be very interesting, and I can't wait.

Liverpool has a good home form, that's always at the back of there mind.
Inter Milan has shown good style of play over their past game's.
It's gon ba an interesting game,at the end of the day, they're both attacking sides, whoever defends well,wins the game at the end of the day.

I have a different view, when you say PSG v Madrid match there will probably be a lot of goals scored but to me it doesn't look like it will happen. I personally expect the match to be tough so both of them might be deadlocked to score goals but yeah, I think everyone has their own version of how many goals it can be said to be a lot of goals. Because if it's just two goals though for both teams, surely it's a meager amount of goals even though both teams are to score. Regarding Manchester United and Juventus, I believe both will win because if I look at their current conditions in their respective leagues, I believe on paper they will win.
