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

[Tony116]

If I'm not mistaken, in the first leg PSG, which will host the first, of course Real Madrid want to try to score goals so it won't be so heavy when in the second leg later, so the away match is not profitable unless more goals are created then if they play a draw later then I think it will be decisive for the match in the second leg.

It's hard to imagine how many goals will be created or without goals? I think their squad is great for us to see in the first game.
But I wonder how PSG's dream in the UCL this season will it work?

I think that the problem with PSG is now that they have lost a match recently which might just affect their mentality a little.
You know, Real Madrid has a really good squad and we can also say the same for PSG but in my opinion, the chemistry between the players of Real Madrid are far better than the players in the PSG squad. And now I think that PSG will try to do as better as they can in the home match.
Because in the away match it's hard to imagine that PSG is going to win and the best scenario might be a draw for PSG in their away match.

I feel the same way when I look at the Real Madrid squad. They work very well as a team, there is a very good dynamic and they seem more united. PSG, despite having an excellent squad, does not seem to have such good chemistry, nor do they seem so united with the Real Madrid players.

I think that's what will give Real Madrid the advantage when they play against PSG.
PSG advantage will only be, in an individual play of some player.

Another interesting match I won't want to miss is Sporting Vs Manchester City. Sporting is currently at the 2nd position in their League. While City are leading in the Premier League. Manchester City have a better squad compared to that of Sporting, but I think Sporting will make the game tough for City to win. Also, sporting will be hosting the first leg. But, despite playing home, it won't be an easy task for them to resist City. Anyways, Let wait and see how it will eventually end. However, without doubt, am quite sure, Manchester City won't lose in the game.

Honestly, knowing Sporting well, I don't see him being able to play these amazing games. They can even provide an interesting spectacle, for being a young team and fighting with all their strength at all times of the game. But Man City won't have much trouble winning both games. One thing is for sure, Sporting's coach is not known for playing only defense. So he will certainly seek his luck, but he will hardly be able to surprise.

I think that sporting will try to apply some early pressure to Manchester City and yet I don't think that they will be able to really achieve some great things. Instead, I think that they might get caught off guard on the counterattack. Man city should really easily win both games in my opinion also.

I think this is an easy prediction, because after all Manchester City and Sporting even though both are top of their respective leagues. But still, Manchester City are still the best team and they are clearly different in terms of strength and there are many other factors which of course Sporting will soon be under pressure from Manchester City from the early minutes of the match. Because I realize Manchester City under Pep at least have very good ball possession and because of that, this is a match that for me will be easy for Manchester City to win.

Even the greatest fan of Sporting does not expect a win against the leaders of the Premier League.If I remember correctly they beat PSG in the group stages and PSG is full of super star players like Messi,Neymar and co.There is no way that Sporting will get in the way now that we are in direct elimination stages of the tournament.Manchester City most likely will win and will close everything since the first game in Portugal,I am sure they won't risk it and leave it to solve in the return leg.This is without a doubt going to be a qualification further after the two leg games for Manchester City.

But what is interesting to me is that Manchester city lost a match against RB Leipzig . That must have been a little unexpected for everyone but I also don't think that Sporting CP should be a big obstacle for Manchester City. they will easily win this match and yes I also agree that they will not risk it and leave anything for the later leg.

I believe Manchester city can get the job done in the first leg, sporting CP is a good side we all know, they are a big team in Portugal, but playing against city we know city can clearly win. It is football anything can happen but considering city’s current form and the amount of players they have, it should be a walkover game for city. I will love to see city play agains Bayern in the champions league.

Do you mean the embarrassing elimination in the Coup de France against Nice? PSG played poorly when you compare the quality of players on both teams. But for me it underlines that PSG is not as strong as it is always portrayed. Of course, the club has strong individual players, but the new signings Messi and Ramos have already passed their zenith and do not bring the team a significant advantage over the last seasons. And young players like Mbappe are currently not in form (Mbappe was very disappointing against Nice). For me, Real is the slight favorite.

[Jackl87]

I'm looking for a bet and found only 10% for Sporting, I don't know why is so bad even they play as hosts. The city is very favored, while Sporting is still in question, but their last performance is good, they were able to beat Benfica at home. when continuing like this, winning in the next 3 games (especially vs Porto) the number will change from 10 to 30, this means the city will have hard work in Jose Alvalade.

To be honest i am not really surprised that the odds are so clear in favorite for Manchester City, even though Sporting Lissabon is in a great shape at the moment. I see that the odds for a win of Sporting are at around 10,0 while you only get 1.31 for a win of ManCity, so if you are confident that Sporting has a good chance of winning, then you can bet a small amount of money on them. I personally think though that the general difference in quality between Sporting and ManCity is just to high, i think that even if ManCity is only managing to bring 80% of their performance on the field then it will still be enough to beat sporting. They are the top favorite to win the Champions League after all.

I think PSG can really put up a fight with Real Madrid, considering the fact that they have too big players in their squad and I am sure they are looking forward to adding more. PSG main aim now is not to win their domestic league because they have already, they want the champions league by all means and that is why the owners are spending a whole lot of money to bring in quality players to help the achieve that. At this stage of this competition Real Madrid are really a difficult side to deal with, they are in a really good form and they have good players that understands the game and this competition as well. I am looking forward to this encounter.

And Real lost to Sheriff. Things that are totally unexpected could happen all the time, just because Leipzig is closer to City (not really) than Sheriff being close to Real, people think that City just played bad and these type of things could happen in the future as well, to me they were both the same type of games.

Sometimes huge names do not really care about some games and this is what happens, when you lose motivation that is what we have as a result. I do not mean to say that it is something I am not seeing ever happening again, of course it could happen again but I feel like City will be dominating and destroying Lisbon very easily. Not because Lisbon is a very low level team, they are a decent team of course but City is... well they are City, we all know what type of power they have and they may end up winning the whole thing.

I think that's what will give Real Madrid the advantage when they play against PSG.
PSG advantage will only be, in an individual play of some player.

Having Messi in your team doesn’t guarantee you nothing, if the team isn’t working together Messi wouldn’t shine and Messi cannot do all the jobs on the field, he needs the assistance of his teammates. I felt a little bit happy hearing that mbbape is leaving, considering the fact that he has two world class player in the team with him, he still wants to leave and for me it is the right move for him. There are other teams that play better football than psg and I nominate them to win the champions league this season
The likes of Bayern and Manchester city. So hopefully when psg get a better coach they can be talking about winning the champions league.

We can talk all day long, but we will see what will happen in two weeks! Each of us has some favorites, but nobody can't predict what will happen, it's why we gamble! I think we can all agree that individuals can make the team better, but the team has to be good for individuals to shine! PSG has a good team, but so do many other clubs... I will give an advantage to PSG in this first game just because I wish to see them in the next stage more than I wish to see Real, but objectively both teams have almost equal chances for the next round! So, I will not spend my money on one all-in bet, I will try to make some combinations... this game can be with a lot of goals as well!

I agree, even before yesterday's match I thought that Real had equal chances with PSG and was not an underdog (as bookmakers draw), and now I am even more confident that I am right. By the way, Tony116 is right about the psychological pressure on PSG, tonight on social networks I saw a lot of ridicule and mockery of PSG, Poccetino and Messi (who does not live up to their status). Given the fact that everyone is on social networks, this can affect the team in a negative way.

[Distraction]

There are exactly two weeks to go for the first matches to begin. The one between PSG and Real Madrid must be the most waited one for most people I guess. When we assess the current situations of these teams now, we can see that both of them are amazingly good. I really admire Real Madrid especially. They seem to be a more credible team than PSG these days to me for some reason. It is a great pleasure to watch this version of Benzema now. He is having one of his best seasons certainly and he is a big threat to PSG. If PSG don't get a nice result in the first match, Real Madrid can really eliminate them by the rematch.

Good talk. I agree that both teams have been doing very well lately - Madrid in particular that has been terrible in the last 2-3 seasons finally seem like they have found their rhythm. Definitely going to be a match to look out for. However, I still think that PSG would be a hard nut to crack given their superb and extensive squad list. PSG has limited chance to win the UCL so they would want to win.

[Lordhermes]

Interesting match i Won't want miss PSG vs Real madrid match.PSG have a better squad and opponent team also good. I hope this match will be more interesting and enjoyable. PSG have their star player Messi,Neymar,Mbappe.But Madrid played really well this season matches.And good combination their team.I hope PSG vs Madrid, PSG Will win Both league.

Real Madrid are good this season,but can't beat PSG except they play with team spirit,that's the only way they can win PSG.
Madrid has really been in a good form this season and are aiming to win the Champions league,but the competition in the league is so fierce.
I tip PSG to win this one.

When both of them look good then only hockey can be hoped for by both teams, because Real Madrid also doesn't want to lose and see the other team win, so they (Real Madrid) will also play very well to win the match with PSG in the round of 16 later

[rahmad2nd]

PSG have poor capital when they will face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, they have just been knocked out of the France Cup and this is an indication for Madrid to be able to beat PSG. Currently Madrid and PSG both have complete squads without any injuries and yellow card accumulation, I think this match will be very interesting considering that PSG is very ambitious to win the champions league title for the first time. However, the series of poor results obtained by PSG has become an obstacle to being able to beat Real Madrid, which has appeared quite consistent this season.

Real Madrid is still a big and great team in every season I think it's just that, sometimes competition with different team situations and conditions at all times makes Madrid not always look good in the UCL, especially in the previous few seasons but for the 2020/2021 season yesterday Madrid arrived at the match semifinals. Regarding PSG, I think we will all agree that the number of star players that PSG currently has is not strong enough and in fact, recently PSG were eliminated in the round of 16 in the Coupe de France event. PSG lost by Nice on penalties, with this result I think it is clear PSG are not good enough to win against Madrid.

PSG cannot be underestimated and I don't think that Real Madrid will have an easy time playing against PSG.
The Cup of France isn't a top priority for PSG.Their top priorities are becoming champion of France and wining the UEFA Champions League.I don't think that the PSG owners really cared that much about the game against Nice.Real is really consistent this season,but that doesn't mean that they are capable for defeating every opponent.

[Slow death]

PSG have poor capital when they will face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League

i'm a real madrid fan when it comes to la liga

I'm also a fan of PSG when it comes to the French league

but honestly speaking real madrid has also drawn with very weak teams in spain, that in itself is a bad sign, so PSG may have a chance to win or draw because PSG is also in the same situation as real madrid is. the two teams are not doing well, maybe here the difference is because real madrid did well in the champions league

they have just been knocked out of the France Cup and this is an indication for Madrid to be able to beat PSG.

I would definitely not take that as an indicator, in the champions league teams behave differently
