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

[joker_josue]

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.

This game - PSG vs Real Madrid - is one of those games where you can see a lot of goals or a few goals. If the teams are extremely organized and manage to cancel each other out, then we will have few goals. If the teams play very open, both focused on attacking, we can see several goals from both teams. It can also happen that a team starts to stand out right at the beginning of the game and score early, and then the other team, wanting to recover, end up suffering more goals.

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.

Liverpool deserve to be favorites for that match, but because the game is still quite long then I think the situation can still change. Inter and Liverpool are two team that are currently quite consistent in their respective league, they still need to maintain that and still need to hope there are no injuries and Covid attacks. It could be that the situation change just for the 2 reason above, so we still have plenty of time to see them prepare their players well.

Liverpool will qualify, and I would be very happy if it came true.

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.

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

I hope this confrontation will take place on the condition that both teams will be in optimal compositions - it would be unpleasant if Liverpool or Inter send some of their players to quarantine and we will see some kind of cut-back competition. Judging by the news from other clubs, such a scenario is possible, it will be sad if it happens.

This can still happen because other clubs have had examples like that especially in the EPL to be in quarantine.
On the other hand, it would be very unpleasant if they had to play with minimal strength and not optimal because of course the atmosphere was very different but whatever happens I hope they play with full strength when the match comes.

I think it will be very important when the first goal will be scored and who will score it.
PSG has a problem with three superstars, Neymar, Mbappe and Messi, who do not like to play defense and do not help enough in defense during the match.
In matches against weaker teams in the French championship it is not so important and PSG wins on the basis of individual quality, but because of that PSG has serious problems in matches against top teams, such as Manchester City in the Champions League group.
Because of this I think that Real has a better chance of winning their match, because Real plays more as a team.

I don't think it's true that PSG rely more on individuals than team play. Mbappe has scored 9 goals, while he has had 8 assists in 19 Ligue 1 match. So I don't think your statement about PSG is true even though there are some top players in the team at the moment.

PSG and Madrid have a 50:50 chance of qualifying for the next round, so whoever your favorite team is, they have to play better than their opponent. I'm sure Madrid have good experience in the Champions League, but PSG have the ability to beat any team this season because of the quality players they have. I hope that Ramos will have a chance to beat Madrid in the match, it looks good. LOL

Considering this possibility, there is an idea to make a long-term bet on the underdog right now. The coefficient per underdog should not fall much lower even if there is in quarantine. But the coefficient for the favorite will rise greatly if the quarantine happens there. Thus, if this happens, then you can make a counter bet to your first bet and be guaranteed to be in the black. Hmm ... I think this is an interesting idea.

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.

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.

Yes, Liverpool are the clear favorites in this pair, I will not bet but will root for it in hope it will raise the level of drama in every next round of the Champions League. In addition, I would like Salah to have more opportunities to show himself in the international arena, given the fact that he plays for the Egyptian national team, he does not have many opportunities relative to other players.

But in my opinion, maybe the match will only produce a little goals later, because the two teams have a squad depth that is quite capable and evenly distributed in each position, besides that individual and collective abilities as a team are also owned by both teams, so of course in that match both teams will playing with carefull and minimizing any mistakes that might occur, I think the PSG and Madrid match will put the maturity of the squad and also the winning mentality.

It would be very profitable to do that but now it seems that if this happens it will be very difficult to predict which team is suitable for placing bets, on the other hand this is an advantage for teams in other leagues which are still very safe compared to the EPL which in fact now it is in a dangerous stage because there are already several clubs that have been affected by covid and it is not impossible that things like this will continue there.

Liverpool are favorites against almost everyone. Bayern Munich and Manchester City are only clearly better at the moment. I think those two teams are more consistent than Liverpool. It is close to each other who will win in the end. Inter Milan individually does not have a super team, but certainly in Milan they can beat anyone. It will also have a lot of influence whether the audience is allowed to be present.

ya.ya.yo!

Almost all the teams in this round are good. You have to play well to get to the next round. Winning is impossible without good performance. The key players in the teams need to be healthy. If the key players are injured then their gameplay will be weak. The coach has to keep an eye on this issue.
The second is to know about the weakness of the opponent. The strategy has to be sorted accordingly. If the coach is experienced, it will be easy to perform well in the match.

Chelsea are a very lucky team that they have one of the easiest matchups among the favourite clubs to win the Champions League title. And it was really interesting to see that they got a draw against Lille two times.    It must be really frustrating for Lille. As Lille are not having a very satisfying season, Chelsea should be able to move them out of the CL by not having too much problem. I know that there has been a decrease in Chelsea's performance lately but they are still too powerful against their opponent.

If Chelsea's performance continues to decline and of course it will be a pressure on the team, at least the problem will have an impact on their performance as well. But if some key Chelsea players can get back into shape and keep them safe until the match against Lille, then of course Chelsea have a great chance of qualifying. I'm just worried that the pressure on the team can't be overcome, because after all even though Lille looks worse in the domestic league but the fact that throughout the group stage Lille can prove their capacity and Lille still can't be underestimated.

If we saw Lille showing as great performance as in the last season, then I wouldn't be that sure about my prediction. But in this season, Lille are performing really badly. Their performance in the Ligue 1 has been really bad so far. They are not playing like a champion team now. As long as they don't improve their current performance level, they can be an easy target for Chelsea. And we should keep an important thing in mind that Chelsea are the last champions of the CL too.

At this stage of the competition, there are no more weak teams. At least, normally. There are, of course, a number of teams that can never become champions. You have to be lucky with lottery tickets. Real Madrid and PSG are absolutely not happy that they have been drawn against each other. That will be a great match. PSG favorite, but Real Madrid can also just win this meeting. Ajax will be most satisfied, now against Benfica. 18 out of 6 in the group stage, I think they will also continue. Bayern Munich also drew favorably.

[izsara]

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.

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.

Real madrid I think will be seeded in this match because even though they are both top of the table in their respective league positions but on the other hand there is a stark difference in their performance in the UCL and even compared to their team I prefer to wait to see Sergio against his teammates first.
On the other hand, Athletico is again faced with a team in which there is Cristiano, it is very interesting how in some of the previous UCL matches they were always eliminated with a team in which there was Cristiano as a player.

Ralph Rangnick is a great coach (manager).  

He is both a practitioner and a theorist.  This is the German approach to coaching - pedantry, organization, high dedication.  He is obsessed with coaching.  Players under his leadership realize themselves 100 percent.  The game will be systemic.  

Each player will become a soldier who will contribute to the victory of the football team.  United will become one of the most organized football teams.  

Active pressure from attacking players is the main feature of Ralph Rangnick's coaching work.

It would be really perfect to see the Manchester United players abiding by certain rules and achieving big successes thanks to Rangnick. But this would take some time of course. Because Rangnick would like to apply the German discipline which is not a thing that Manchester United are familiar with. But if he manages to become successful about this, then we might start watching a much stronger team. I really want to see Manchester United coming back to their old good days as soon as possible.

To understand which team is worth betting on (which team is most susceptible to quarantine or something similar), you just need to remember where we saw the most insane covid restrictions. I think it's obvious that these are England, Italy and Germany. Considering that as many as 7 clubs from these countries play in the 1/8 finals, the choice is quite good.

Sometimes a team can change their performance, so we cannot judge Liverpool will beat Inter Milan easily because Inter didn't look good in the group stage. Basically, Inter Milan has many talented players in their squad, they probably can make Liverpool players be in trouble if they play with their best. But if we consider the quality of the coach, Liverpool should be better. Jürgen Klopp is an experienced and smart coach who always made a difference during the match. While Inter Milan coach, looks to have less experience, especially in the UCL league.

Cristiano is like a curse to them right now I remember very well when Real madrid beat Atletico in the UCL final and there was a goal from Cristiano, besides that last season when Cristiano was in Juventus uniform he even scored a hat trick and made an amazing comeback.
Now they have to meet again with Cristiano who is at Manchester United.
Will Ronaldo's curse still work for Atletico or can they make a big difference by beating Manchester United? It's worth the wait
