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

[bitzizzix]

Maybe it is a bit unfortunate for Inter Milan to have Liverpool as an opponent. But the Inter Milan team should not be underestimated. They have the ability to beat Liverpool. Liverpool is definitely a strong team. However, Liverpool must play well if they want to win against Inter Milan. Liverpool will lose points if they make a mistake. If they think Inter Milan is weak then it will be their big mistake.

At this stage of the tournament, this is not the worst option, and in any case, if Inter wants to win the tournament, it must be ready for any opponent. If not at this stage, then in the next stage, the likelihood of meeting a top club is very high. And in my opinion it is better to lose to Liverpool than, for example, to Lill 

I agree with you, because all the teams that are currently in the round of 16 are great teams and should not be underestimated, I think both Inter Milan and Liverpool have equal chances of winning the match, Liverpool is indeed considered one of the strong candidates for champions league champions, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten by inter milan.

The Champions League is the most prestigious inter-club football competition so whoever the team advances to the next round is the best and whoever the opponent has to be ready to compete.
and if you look at the four meetings between Inter Milan and Liverpool, Liverpool is more favored because of three wins and one defeat from Inter Milan and besides this season Liverpool are in very good condition and become champion candidates.
and both of these will be very interesting matches to watch and whoever wins is the best.

Liverpool is also one of the best teams. Slightly less than City and Munich, but equal to Psg in my experience. Liverpool is a team that can win the Champions League. Inter Milan is not a very favorable draw, leader in Italy and currently a strong team. Were 2nd in the group behind Real Madrid but that can happen to the best. I don't know how strongly to estimate Real Madrid. It seems to me that Liverpool will advance to the next round against Inter.

You know, Manchester City are the most qualified team to win the Champions League. It is true that Bayern Munich are stronger, but you have to agree the Manchester City team seems more stable than them.
If PSG can win against Real Madrid, they will win their next matches and play in the final. PSG is not interested in Ligue-1. They want to do well in the Champions League anyway.

It occurred to me to remember that Liverpool's match on the UCL stage, whether it was in the group stage or in the knockout phase in the past, at that time Liverpool found the opponent was a mediocre team, whether it was a team from where the opponent was, I forget. But at least it happened a few times at that time but unfortunately, Liverpool against a mediocre team or maybe it can be said is a dark horse team several times Liverpool have lost. But when Liverpool play a top team then I remember Liverpool will be able to finish well and with the history I remember like that, it is very possible to play against Inter this knockout round at least Liverpool still promises a good result. Also, when teams from England play against teams from Italy, I personally feel most of them will always side with the England team but yes, even though it's not certain but it looks like teams from England can indeed play more powerfully.

It is totally understandable to lose to a dark horse type of team when you least expect it. That's the type of team Liverpool is, they could beat Barcelona 4-0 to go to next stage, and then lose to some mediocre team instead. Even if not mediocre, even if it is like atalanta or dortmund which are teams not at the top like Bayern, Psg, City or something like that, they are still not low level teams neither, and Liverpool should be able to beat those teams for sure.

Sometimes they just give up I think, if you watch the games you know how hardcore Liverpool plays and I feel like they can't do this for 90 minutes, by the end of first half they should be tired beyond measure and yet they do it, and sometimes you watch them and they are just basically walking around the pitch. This is why I am not entirely sure if it is smart to predict them beating anyone, but not smart to assume they will lose to anyone.

Manchester City have stronger financial and they can get many star player and last season success pass to final before defeating by Chelsea, but I am not sure to choose Manchester City as candidate team will get champion league trophy in this year, less mentality talking more in champion league and never make it true. I think most close for Real Madrid if they have full team without any injury or getting covid 19 during champion league running and I see Madrid have great and solid team right now than other club. How ever still have one month later 16 phase round will begin and we can see which team pass to next stage.

I'll quote this when the winner emerge successfully.
You'll fine out that,non of the team aside Manchester City will win the Champions League.
I don't want to take side's,the next I'll want to vouch for Real Madrid.

I mostly agree with your choice of the main favorites to win the Champions League, but I don't understand why you didn't add Chelsea, the current European champions, to the list.
Chelsea is very good in the English championship this year as well, they showed that they are a very high quality and experienced team, and I would not be surprised if they go to the final again, and in one game everything is always possible.
By no means should they be underestimated.
PSG and Manchester City are under a lot of pressure because a lot of money has been invested in their teams and there is no trophy yet.
Therefore, I would give even a small advantage to Real because they know how to win trophies.

I agree with you that Chelsea is a good team. They are a strong team. But when we compare Chelsea with Liverpool, Manchester City or Bayern Munich, the Chelsea team feels a bit weaker than them. In Premier League, Chelsea have lost to Manchester City, drawn with Manchester United and Liverpool. Their performance against a strong team is not satisfactory.

PSG and Manchester City are under a lot of pressure because a lot of money has been invested in their teams and there is no trophy yet.

Manchester City have invested a lot of money and they are playing well. They are far ahead in the fight to win the Premier League title. But PSG's performance is not very good. Since their main goal is the Champions League

If PSG can win against Real Madrid, they will win their next matches and play in the final. PSG is not interested in Ligue-1. They want to do well in the Champions League anyway.

Manchester City's squad are strong. And if they maintain their performance, they might end up winning the trophy. Although, they haven't won the Champions league, and that's more reason why I probably want them to win. However, Manchester City will be playing their next CL match against Sporting, which seems like an easy winning for City IMO.
While, Is obvious that PSG focus are mainly on how to win the Champion League. But, Real Madrid is not a weak club, that PSH can beat easily in a match.

City have a solid team this season. Although having a lethal striker would have been a bit better for them, but even without a pure number 9, they are having a great season so far and seem like having a great chance to win the trophy.

PSG vs Real match will be a high voltage match as both the teams are in good shape and form recently. But I support City and hope that Pep can lead them to the trophy.

Also, in the previous season Manchester City were very close to the UCL title but unfortunately, City with Pep were defeated by Chelsea with Tuchel. While at that time it was clear, at least Manchester City were in a better situation and condition than Chelsea. But unfortunately, the results are still not as expected and Pep still has to work even harder this season, because the UCL title is certainly a target that must be achieved before his contract runs out. I prefer this season's UCL final match to be for Manchester City v Bayern Munich, but it looks like they will face off in the quarter-finals if I look at the chart.

I am very sorry to see Guardiola and Manchester City fail in the Champions League final last season, it was really a bad day for them in one season. I don't want to see them suffer the same fate again if Manchester City reach the final this season.

If indeed Bayern Munchen will meet Manchester City in the quarter-finals, then I believe it is a final match too early in the Champions League. I don't expect there will be 2 English team in the final this season, but I'm sure the title will still belong to the English team again this season.

Real Madrid is a team who knows very well how to win the do-or-die matches.

Also, I would like to add Chelsea and they have a very well-rounded team this season and have very good squad depth. Man. City, PSG, and Bayern are very strong teams for the title. PSG have a deadly attack, Bayern have Lewa, and Man'City are playing a very well-rounded team-game. Hoping for a thrilling final third of CL.

The failure in Pep Guardiola's final last season was dark but this time will try again to start his debut to advance to the final as expected so if they meet of course it will be tough to face Bayern Munich but Pep probably already knows how Bayern's tactics because he had previously coached it in the past.

4 English league teams qualify for the round of 16 for me there is a possibility that 3 English league teams will qualify for the semifinals or finals as the final goal and still my strongest candidate between the English league teams and the French league.

[CLS63]

We are already in 2022 and there is a one-and-a-half-month time period left for the games of the next stage to start. The games that I'm looking forward to watching are between PSG and Real Madrid of course. This is really no different than a final matchup in the Champions League. Because these teams both are doing a great job here and in their own domestic leagues. They are really dominating their leagues right now. I haven't seen Real Madrid this powerful for some years. Although I'm favouring PSG to advance, Real Madrid would also be able to advance and it wouldn't be surprising.

Anything can happen, it's not a given that Inter will lose these matches. Think back to Ajax, who were tearing things up when no one believed in them. The Champions League doesn't loom on the horizon, but I think it's safe to bet that both teams will score. But that's my opinion. Italy's tika-taka can easily beat Liverpool

Nothing is easy, Liverpool are a mentally strong team in the Champions League and they are not easy to beat. Both teams have equal chances of trying to win the match in 2 legs away and home, so there is nothing wrong with optimism but never overlook the fact that every team is equally eager to qualify for the next round.

The Champions League will start in February, so we will just have to wait to see if the match can be played or not, given the cases of COVID-19 infection, it is not yet predictable when it will end.

I think that Inter will play defense and counterattack, not ball control, no Tiki-Taka. To control the ball, the pressure of your lines must be very high, this is ideal for Liverpool which loves open football and here it will definitely beat Inter. In this scenario, the score could be 6-3 in favor of Liverpool. Inter chances is a defensive play where the defensive line is as low as possible and plays securely, the midfield mostly destroying and waiting for their chance to attack.

Sad to add this, but besides strategy I also think that Corona could play an important factor indeed. Nobody knows what's going to happen within the next couple of weeks and I really expect some bad decisions need to be made by UEFA. Both Inter and Liverpool literally have the same offense/defense statistics right now with +34 goals in their favor each. Besides Madrid vs Atletico this is also sort of a preliminary final.
