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

[karabiber]

Bayern Munich has won all six games in the Champions League this season. If Bayern Munich gets another win, the 14/15 season will catch the 7-game streak of the Real Madrid team. My personal favorite Bayern Munich, has won all its matches against Austrian teams in tournaments and is the favorite team of the Salzburg match.

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.

Right now, situation is not good in Real Madrid with absence of Benzema they are facing drought in goals and having some bad results in Spanish League which is not good for them in this match they are going to face PSG which is also having some issues but with recent results and now after having some better performance from their strikers they are doing good few days back mostly peoples were feeling this match is going to be very tough for both teams but with current Real Madrid form mostly feeling PSG can win and advance into next round because they have some better quality and aggression then Real Madrid in presence of Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and Icardi these all are the most lethal players in European soccer with have some good skills and qualities for changing matches situation with their own performance and style of play.

If PSG having some good result at home then surely they can win and advance without any serious trouble.

We shouldn't be expecting so much from this top players, they're getting old. We know they're good because they have proven them previously on different occasions. Now their legs are getting weak so it should be understandable when they don't turn up. We have young talents that now runs the games, this are players we're supposed to be mad at if they under performed.

This match I still see Real Madrid wining with a 2 goals to 1 scoreline. In this game, Real Madrid would be the underdog but still have history on their side. Even though they not doing so great in la Liga with the draws recently, this isn't La Liga, this is the champion league, which are both different competition with different atmosphere.

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.

Two matches in Ligue 1 when PSG won against Lille and Renner also saw the chemistry between Mbappe and Lionel Messi, especially in the last match when PSG narrowly won 1-0 against Renner where an assist from Lionel Messi was able to be used by Mbappe to become PSG's winning goal. Maybe against Real Madrid the duo of Messi and Mbappe will be maintained even though the absence of Neymar is at least enough to make Madrid's defense will experience difficulties.

My personal favorite Bayern Munich, has won all its matches against Austrian teams in tournaments and is the favorite team of the Salzburg match.

Bayern got lucky and got the easiest opponent of all, now they can improve their record streak, and Lewandowski can increase his goalscoring tally. After the group stage, he already has 9 goals scored and with such an opponent, Lewandowski can try to surpass Ronaldo's record. I hope Ronaldo, despite the crisis at United, will also be able to score a few goals.

I'm not trying to underestimate Salzburg, but I believe Bayern will be able to beat them in both 1st and 2nd leg.
If it will happen, Bayern will break the record but I do not think Bayern cares about it much.
They should be focusing on how to maximize every chance in every match and to go to the Final then bring the trophy to Germany.
Salzburg may play nothing to lose and it may make a big surprise if Bayern is underestimating them.

I think Ronaldo will do good. He has come to the rescue for his team countless times and I want to be surprised if that happens again. Maybe after that people will believe that he's not the problem.

After Bayern lost the match against Bochum I am genuinely scared to make any prediction. I know people might think I am just trolling and I also know that Bayern Munich should be the easy winners too.

Very right what you said about Bayern Munich. They often also benefited from their reputation as being extremely hard to beat, close to invincible. Now the teams will be much braver, way more aggressive against Bayern because they know Bayern has weaknesses. I would almost say that Bayern suffers from very blatantly obvious weaknesses this season. They lost four games in the league against teams from the lower half of the table, they lost 0-5 against Gladbach in the DFB Cup.  Salzburg is certainly seeing a realistic chance to win here. I think it won't be a one-sided duel in favor of Bayern...

Real Madrid got an unsatisfactory result in La Liga, before undergoing a Champions League match against PSG. I think Paris Saint-Germain should be able to see where Real Madrid's weaknesses are if we look at some of the matches yesterday. Yes Real Madrid's front line is a little unproductive, they are only able to score 2 goals from their last 3 matches. This is really a weakness that PSG should take advantage of.

That chemistry is certainly there between the attackers of PSG but I don't think that even this type of chemistry exists between the whole team and if it did, the whole team would have been doing much better.
I do think that Neymar not being there will be a problem for PSG and they are going to have a really hard time. It's really going to be tough against Real Madrid.

Sooner or later, we're going to see a moment when the players up front show how good they are. Mbappe is likely to leave in the summer, so if PSG want to win the Champions League then it will be a lot easier this season. The Parisians have not had a great draw with Real Madrid. They could also use new success. it will surely be the most interesting clash to see in the coming matches.

Bayern is the huge favorite in the match against Red Bull Salzburg and i was pretty sure that Bayern would have zero problems to advance into the next round here when i saw the draw a few weeks ago, but seeing the latest performances of Bayern i think everything is possible in the match on tuesday. Of course i still think that Bayern is the better team and will most likely win but if Salzburg manages to get a good start into the game and maybe even score an early goal then everything is possible in my opinion because Bayern was extremely shaky in the defense in the last week and yesterdays match against Bochum proved that again.

PSG's play will be radically different from the style of play of Villarreal and Mallorca. I don't think that PSG will sit on the defensive and look for luck in counterattacks. PSG will most likely try to dominate the entire match by offering Real Madrid a game at high speeds. And in such a game, everything will depend on the physical condition of the team.

If PSG having some good result at home then surely they can win and advance without any serious trouble.

We also need to remember that PSG is going to miss Neymar in the match against Real Madrid. And I also don't think that PSG, as a team has much of an advantage against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid seems to be not in the best form right now and PSG should obviously look to take advantage of that. But PSG He's obviously too inconsistent themselves.

We shouldn't be expecting so much from this top players, they're getting old. We know they're good because they have proven them previously on different occasions. Now their legs are getting weak so it should be understandable when they don't turn up.

I think PSG is going to face a lot of problems in that match but they should really be putting Real Madrid under a lot of pressure. In my opinion, PSG should play attacking football because Real Madrid is missing Benzema right now and they have to take advantage of that.

I love the tactics that ajax use and will be  happy if this team succeeds, even 1/4 finals would be great with ajax. I know that this team in not the clear favorites but they play really beautiful games.

My personal favorite Bayern Munich, has won all its matches against Austrian teams in tournaments and is the favorite team of the Salzburg match.

I have no doubt Bayern Munich will easily beat Salzburg easily, considering Bayern is one of the most favorite teams in the Champions League.

Why is that the case? They have also been the favorite in the DFB Cup in Germany and do you know how it ended? 0-5 against them for Gladbach. I wouldn't isn't in bad shape, and in a home game everything can happen. I mean Bayern even lost their home game against Gladbach, but still I would say that this season Salzburg is even stronger than Gladbach. This is not going to be an easy one.

[Furious 7]

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.

I know that indeed everything is possible in football including the chances but on the other hand I still feel that Liverpool are not the level for Inter and even if they are on fire they can most likely only draw and not win.
Even though Liverpool doesn't have Mane or Salah, they are still dangerous, there is Jota who shines even more when there is nothing Salah and Mane besides that Elliott has now rejoined the team and indeed Diaz is performing quite well.
I still feel Inter can't win at the moment

I think that one shouldn't be so sure about Bayern Munich to win the Champions League this season. Because they were so great in the previous season also but PSG eliminated them in the quarter finals already. It was a very competitive draw though and PSG eliminated them thanks to the goals they scored away. There is no such rule anymore though. Anyway, Bayern Munich can have a similar experience if they come across them or some other very powerful team earlier again. For now, they have a comfortable matchup against Salzburg.

A few years ago, the odds for Munich were also 10.0 or something like that to win the CL. Then they had played the group matches and it was only 3 and they were suddenly top favorites. It will normally be between City, Psg and Munich, you have to be very lucky with the draw. A dream final would be Bayern against Psg or against City. City and Psg have never won the title. City has been a favorite every year for years. This year again.

To me Bayern Munich can't win Champions League this season, this because I feel like they are not good enough to be the Champions of Europe this season, I have it in mind that PSG will be the Champions because I feel they are capable and they have a very strong team that almost every team will fear to face, with the presence of players like Messi, Mbape, Nymar and others that have a strong team work, that can compete and win.
