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

By the way, I don't think that the Inter - Liverpool matchup is going to be very competitive. There is a chance for Inter to show their best performance in Giuseppe Meazza but that's all. I don't think that they will be able to fight back against Liverpool in Anfield in any way. Liverpool would aim to get a good result like a win by one goal or a draw. And they would dominate the second leg and destroy their opponent as a result. Inter are very good in the Serie A but I don't see them good enough to be able to eliminate Liverpool.

I also do not think Inter will eliminate Liverpool, neither do I agree with you that Liverpool will destroy Inter Milan in any of the two legs, the match is going to be very much competitive, this is the knockout stage of the CL, and every team usually comes out with a positive mindset, whether they are underdogs or not. Inter Milan are the champions of Italy and they are definitely not a small team, Liverpool have to be weary of the threat Inter can pose, I'm pretty sure Klopp would point that out to his players, as well as crush any iota of complacency within the team prior to this game.

I don't think Ronaldo is the problem at Manchester United.

I don't think so too, I believe United's problem is far bigger than just one player, it's a collective thing, few months ago, quite a lot of fans placed the blame on OGS, now that he has been fired and performances haven't improved, many people seem to have changed their opinion that the manger is the problem with the team, personally I think United have absolutely lost their big team mentality, they now go into games like they are underdogs, their morale is flat on the ground and it's going to take a lot for them to regain their erstwhile predatory status.

Liverpool have a pretty good record this season against Serie A teams, in the group phase Liverpool managed to beat AC Milan both home and away, I think this factor is a lucky one for Liverpool when they face Inter Milan in the middle of this week, a pretty interesting match but Liverpool are still without a complete squad with the absence of Mane and Salah in front of the Liverpool striker. But Inter Milan has the advantage in the domestic league because it plays early this week and has enough rest time compared to Liverpool who play tomorrow night.

I can almost say that Liverpool can already win this game
In the match between Inter and Liverpool I felt it was quite a difficult thing. Apart from its opponents, who are indeed quite different, Inter are also faced with a schedule that is indeed quite solid and faces a team that is arguably not easy.
They apart from facing Liverpool in the UCL they are also faced with several Big Matches in Serie a.
I think Inter might have to bury their dream in the UCL.

Ok, I agree that Liverpool is the favorite in this match but I would not really say that the winner has already been decided and that Inter has no chance.
We have seen much bigger surprises in the Champions League so far, and who could have expected that Chelsea in the competition of PSG, Manchester City, Bayern ... will eventually become European champions last season?
The main players of Liverpool, Salah and Mane, have just returned from the African Championship and are probably still tired and not ready enough.
If Brozovic and Perisic will play at a top level, Inter certainly has a chance to win.

At the beginning of the season, few believed that Inter was capable of going beyond the group stage and continuing in the Champions League. They are performing better than expected.

Now against Liverpool it will be more difficult for them to win the tie. Even if Liverpool don't win in Italy, they will definitely win at home. Of course Inter will give everything, but I think it will be very difficult for them to win.

Ronaldo still has the quality to make the difference. However, he is also a problem for his teams, as the tactics and style of play have to be heavily tuned to him in order for him to shine, and that is not necessarily the best tactic for the team. You noticed that at Juventus and you're noticing it now at ManU. I think the team would be better overall if Ronaldo wasn't part of the team.

I don't think Ronaldo is the problem at Manchester United. There are several names that should be mentioned as obstacles, Greenwood, Frederico Rodrigues and Maguire. Greenwood, he is too selfish in team play, Maguire always makes mistakes that lead to fatal for Manchester. I've seen in some games it's always those names that come up for his mistakes.

In a team, of course, competition to appear better is natural, because that way players will also get more playing minutes. At Manchester United I think it happened, but this mess wasn't because of Ronaldo because before Ronaldo came back, the fact was that Manchester United had been in chaos and it was evident from the several coach changes that were made. Now the team's condition is not even good even though Manchester United has great players, the match against Atletico will certainly be a tough task considering Manchester United's current condition is not getting better.

If anyone asks me I really don't see how Manchester United is going to win against Atletico Madrid because the way they are playing right now is absolutely painful to the eyes. They look like a bunch of grown men running into the field aimlessly.
And after that, if somehow they get the ball every player feels like they have to pull out some mesmerizing play and score the gold by himself which obviously cannot be any type of solution.

But Inter Milan has the advantage in the domestic league because it plays early this week and has enough rest time compared to Liverpool who play tomorrow night.

Didn't Salah return to the team and even played in the Leicester game yesterday even though it was only as a substitute for Firmino?
I think for now Liverpool are still quite good even though Mane is still in Senegal because they still have quite talented players even now their New recruits are playing quite well and Elliott has returned to the squad I don't think it's too much of a problem with their current squad this and indeed Inter have no chance at the moment

[mardaed]

Salah did well in the Africa cup in itself. Considering how wildly wild there is, it's actually a miracle that he didn't get injured. With Mane, for example, it didn't matter much. Liverpool with mane and salah or without these 2 giants, that he is the difference between winning and losing against Inter. We will see Wednesday how it is going. Liverpool favorite to advance.

But Inter Milan are also in good form, in the League they are very good although still overshadowed by Napoli and Milan. But Liverpool have the advantage, because they will face a relegation team in the League before competing in the Champions League. In contrast to Inter who had to undergo a tough match against Napoli, they must have had a bit of a drain on their stamina before finally having to compete in the Champions League.

Inter Milan may be able to draw at home against Liverpool, but I don't think they will be able to win. Liverpool is a very strong team. They have a strong squad, as well as experienced coaches. Their match strategy is excellent. Inter Milan is now quite irregular. At the same time, they may be focusing more on the Serie A title now.

I think Liverpool versus Inter is going to be an interesting match, And yes I am talking about being interested in how many goals will Liverpool win by  . Liverpool should be the winner from this match end I don't think there will be any argument about that.

Ok, I agree that Liverpool is the favorite in this match but I would not really say that the winner has already been decided and that Inter has no chance.

Well, I wouldn't say that in terms don't having any chance. Google says that Inter Milan has a 28 percent chance of winning. And to be honest that's the first place where I saw interning some chances otherwise I don't think any people are going to give them any chances because Liverpool is just better.

I also think that Liverpool will win, but don't underestimate Inter. It often happens that a flamboyant and a lot of attacking team can not do anything with a team that focuses on defense. This scenario may repeat itself here. By the way, now Inter is losing to its main rival Napoli. Before that, they already had a couple of unsuccessful matches. It will be funny if it really turns into a series and games with Liverpool will be part of it.

I would say that Ronaldo is not the cause but he is not helpful neither. I mean he plays so many games and he does score in some easy games but he is not the Ronaldo we all remember neither, if you remove all the penalties that he scored, how many games he has with at least one goal?

I am not asking how many goals he has, I am asking the amount of games he has scored, that is not really good for a striker in premier league. All in all he is definitely not the problem for sure but he is not the solution neither.

I personally believe that if he weren't bought and someone else did, then they could have reached a better result as well but if we were to replace anyone for a bigger impact, maguire is definitely the worst.

Ronaldo still has the quality to make the difference. However, he is also a problem for his teams, as the tactics and style of play have to be heavily tuned to him in order for him to shine, and that is not necessarily the best tactic for the team. You noticed that at Juventus and you're noticing it now at ManU. I think the team would be better overall if Ronaldo wasn't part of the team.

How can Ronaldo be considered a problem in the squad? When a team has a player like Ronaldo, it is up to the coach to design the best strategy, so that the set can work correctly. So the problem at Juventus and now at Man United is not Ronaldo, but the lack of a technical team capable of putting together a team that knows how to play with Ronaldo.

When a team has a player like Cristiano Ronaldo in its composition, it's still not a problem, but rather an additional trump card that needs to be used. But if such a trump card cannot be used, then this is really a problem But the problem is not Ronaldo, but the problem of the level of the team and the skill of the head coach of the team. By the way, Ronaldo does not appear in all Manchester United matches this season and not always from the very beginning of the match and it cannot be said that he looks better at the same time. Therefore, to say that Manchester United would be better without Ronaldo is not entirely correct. It is more correct to say that Manchester United could be both better and worse without Ronaldo

If Ronaldo was not in the Manchester United squad then I think everything would have been a little better for both Manchester United and Ronaldo himself,

because in any other team, I don't think that the fans and the media or anyone would have complained if Ronaldo tried his level best to do something for the team, and here we have everyone saying that Ronaldo is the problem, that is absolutely outrageous. I mean if you have a Lamborghini and you cannot drive, it's your fault, not the cars.

No one has scored more goals in the Champions League than Ronaldo. has a lot of experience and is a player who can decide a game on his own, even at times when the team is not well in the game. only needs 2 chances and that are often 2 goals. We can draw a better conclusion if United have played next week.

This happens because indeed they have often seen good matches from Ronaldo and it will be very difficult to accept when their performance declines.
It's the same as seeing players like Mbappe, Neymar and Messi underperform.
The expectations of football fans and fans are sometimes too high even though not every match these players can show their best performance

Well the atmosphere there has been built in negative one , not even cristiano and messi at once can fix the critical damage on the team  in rush.
Slow and steady .. manchester united could still rise and finished at the top 5 in domestic league and beat the odds against psg. as long as all the players play it with passion , not just money.

The problem is that all of them has no passion as much as cristiano and it affect a lot to the outcome.

[MinoRaiola]

Paris St. Germain vs. Real Madrid
For me one very interesting game, or maybe the most interesting game in the coming week. Messi didn't show much of his worldclass at PSG. He is not in top form. His Covid infection at the beginning of January hit him hard, so he needed many weeks to get fit again. And he is new in Paris, a different country, less sun. After 21 years at FC Barcelona, that's not easy. When will he show his potential? I hope against Real Madrid, he knows them well. Mbappe will also play against his new club, it will be very interesting.

Messi have showed his consistent performance last two match before on Ligue 1, last two match before against Lille Messi show most impressive performance by creating goal and assist, last game when PSG success win from Renner Messi become most important player with his assist for the only one goal PSG created by Mbappe, I think Messi have top performance right now for Champion League against Real Madrid where have inconsistent performance, last match draw with Villareal and I think have bad start for facing Champion League.

This is one of the matches we are looking forward to 2 strong teams from different leagues will fight but this time I believe PSG can be relied on
As you said Messi performance is improving and Mbappe looks hungry for goals I can't imagine the collaboration of these 2 players against Madrid besides that PSG also has players with equal abilities on all lines.
