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

[watergold]

Finally the long awaited time has arrived. A big match that brings together 2 giant teams from each League. They must have done careful preparation, to perform optimally in this match. The first match of the Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid is certainly the most highlighted match.
I can't wait to watch tomorrow's game.

[CryptoBuds]

I don't know why bookmakers make PSG the clear favourite with the odds difference almost double - PSG (2.0) / Real (3.7)... It seems to me that the chances are the same here tonight, or it could be a draw! I'd bet on both teams to score.

There are many reasons to consider PSG as favorites in this match. First, it's PSG's home match. Home PSG strong. They have won 11 of Ligue 1's 12 home matches and drawn one. They did not lose any match at home. They have won all three of their Champions League home matches.
Secondly, when we compare the squads of these two teams, PSG is undoubtedly strong. They are a team with lots of star players.
Thirdly, Real Madrid's recent form is not very good now. They have lost points in a few matches in La Liga.
Fourth, Real Madrid key player Benzema is injured.

Odds like that for me are no favourites and also, there is nothing wrong with PSG getting lower odds. Considering the squad and also the factor of playing at home then obviously it's a good odds but still, for me it's not an odds that shows a team is favourite. Both are big teams and both are leading in their respective league standings, if this was a match that was held at a neutral venue then I believe the odds would be the same or have a very close gap.

If the PSG team is ahead in the statistics, then considering the experience, Real Madrid will definitely be ahead. Coach Ancelotti is very experienced. Moreover, the Real Madrid team is a well-known club. They have won the Champions League title the most times. They will definitely not want to be eliminated from the tournament after losing to PSG in this round. I hope the match will be competitive.

let's hope it's fun
when they are so expected the matches often become a disappointment
we hope they will put on a show for the happiness of the fans of the teams and of football itself


it is a highly anticipated match

Finally, the Champions League is back and we immediately have a match that could be the final. Competition PSG-Real Madrid promises to be very interesting. Personally, I do not see a definite favorite in this pair. It will surely be a huge disappointment for both teams to be knocked out in this phase of the tournament, but it seems that PSG is under more pressure. Today I'm counting on a good show and a lot of goals, I'm betting over 2.5 goals.

I absolutely agree it has been a pretty lang wait now for the next big games on the international stage in football and i'm really looking forward to all the Champions League (and Europa League) games that are happening in the next few weeks. Finally we have at least 2 good games per week again that we can watch from our favorite teams. Your bet on more than 2.5 goals sounds reasonable to me as i also have a hard time to pick a favorite in this matchup here. Paris definitely has way more pressure than Real Madrid here because in the end all that money that went from Qatar into PSG in the last 10 years was only paid because of 1 goal; to win the Champions League.

Well, this is payback I guess. PSG were shitty underdogs against City in both legs (I happily won one of those).

Sportsbet super boost gets you Real at 4/1 so I'm definitely seeing great value in that one. It all boils down to Benzema, unfortunately, and he's not a given in this game, even if I know he'll do his best to show up, hence the PSG leanings.

I watched them Parisians play in the last two games though, and they looked vulnerable and honestly dull against lesser opposition. My only ticket so far then.

[imamusma]

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.

What game is so beautiful and what tactics are made by Ajax ? As for the Champions League, it looks like Ajax will play tomorrow on the 16th to be exact against Benfica where I'm also a little optimistic that Ajax will win in that match later, even though it's not my favorite club for now.

[Luzin]

Tomorrow they will play in Paris. Of course, the pressure will be faced by Madrid. Maybe the draw is best. Madrid are missing Benzema, Mbappe and Messi at their best performance. Maybe some gamblers will put PSG winning for the first leg because of Madrid's performance.
I'm not going to bet on this match, my hopes of Madrid winning. But looking at the stats on the pitch doesn't really support my expectations. I think I'm going to enjoy this match. Because maybe the risk of losing money with bets in Madrid is greater.

Finally the Champions League is on. And it feels great to have a wonderful game today: PSG vs Real Madrid. In this game, PSG seem to be one step ahead but I don't see them as very clear favourites now. Because Real Madrid's performance this season so far shouldn't be underestimated. They have done great so far in the La Liga and the Champions League both. Considering that, they have the potential to surprise PSG in Parc des Princes too. However I still think that PSG will win this game by a one-goal gap and capture a nice advantage before the second leg.

The game is 50/50 no favourites in my opinion, yea Paris Saint Germain will always look as the favourite due to the abundance of talent in their rank, the likes of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe.this are players that can turn a bad results into a good one

Benzema is an important player for Los Blancos, even this should be the spearhead of Real Madrid to face PSG, of course I doubt when Benzema is not there while what about the trio of strikers from PSG who will start tonight's game I think PSG's expectations have strong pressure.
My desire indeed PSG is the chance of this victory from the squad they have no problem except Ramos he is not a regular player so PSG's conclusion becomes solid if they can be mentally strong in defense.
Maybe I'll bet on PSG it's an important opportunity for me to see how Messi can score again.

It is difficult to determine who will win today's Champions League first leg between PSG and Real Madrid. But I will support PSG to win the game even if they may not be underdogs against Real Madrid. I agree with equal opportunities for both teams, but Real Madrid's experience will probably make something different.

My prediction for PSG vs Real Madrid is 3-1 for PSG to win. I don't know, I'm not so sure but I think it's good to have a sense of optimism especially if Benzema and some of Madrid's experienced players are not at their best.

Tonight we have a big game. Your confidence in your predictions ahead of the PSG-Real Madrid match is commendable.

It will be a big win for Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid tonight. MNM is the best trio in the world, so I don't see any defender stooping to them. My astrological calculations indicate that the champions league will go to the team who plays really well. However, PSG have the chance to win.

Even if PSG win the first game by one goal, it will be a very small advantage before going to the Santiago Bernabeu. And to be honest, I don’t see any special prerequisites for PSG to be a clear favorite in this match, as bookmakers show us. Benzema will take the field, while PSG are missing Neymar and Ramos. I think that it will be an equal game and the result can be anything.

That's what I conclude with Real Madrid's experience in the UCL, there is no difference, surely their game will be the same as PSG's, it's just that the condition of some players who are in doubt due to a slight injury will make Madrid's game not optimal.
Actually PSG is also not too prominent in the UCL game, it's just that there are many star players that make PSG idolized by many people and even speculation with the current squad that PSG should be able to win the UCL, but for me that's not necessarily because the PSG match in the UCL is still not as famous as Real Madrid.

[Mamun74]

After a long time UCL is back.UCL is more interesting for football fan.Today's PSG vs Real Madrid big match and both are big opponent site.I think PSG will be more comfortable paly today Because It's PSG home match.Two team well played this season and i hope today’s UCL match will be more interesting. I hope PSG will win 1st leg.

Honestly, this is the choice I have to choose for All In at PSG with a large enough capital. I don't know why I've been thinking about this since yesterday and am ready to bet on PSG. Given that Madrid will experience a bit of a problem, players whose formation is quite disadvantaged. Well, just 1 point is a landslide victory for a much better provision.

Yes, PSG should be able to win the UCL and it is his ambition to bring in a lot of star players and whether this season PSG can make it happen, I don't think so, but who knows.
when compared to Real Madrid's experience in the UCL, Real Madrid is listed as the club with the most titles in the UCL and a total of 13 times, compared to PSG, never at all and only able to reach the final and was defeated by Bayern Munich 0-1 last season.
and the opening match of the UCL last 16 in a few hours will be a very interesting match between PSG vs Real Madrid and I will not miss it.

[KTChampions]

well I am of the opinion that:

1 - PSG is a team that still doesn't offer me the security that they can win the champions league

2 - Bayern Munich is also not doing very well this season, they lost in the bundesliga

3 - real madrid is also not well

4- Manchester city is the only team that for me is very good and can win the champions league

City have been good for a very long time and even great, but they have not won the Champions League for many years, so this reasoning has little predictive power. In knockout matches, sometimes even an underdog can knock out a favorite, and given the fact that there are few weak teams at this stage, the probability of being knocked out is even higher.

I'm not talking about the title this season but I just want to see how PSG can prove themselves worthy of qualifying for the quarter-finals when Real Madrid are the opponents. It's difficult but I think winning the game against Real Madrid is possible.

Neither Real Madrid nor PSG stand out in the Champions League and I agree with some opinions. But what is clear is that PSG's mission this season is much bigger than the previous season because they have Messi and Ramos in the team. Hopefully Messi and Ramos can lead PSG to win today's match vs Real Madrid because that's the only way to get a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals even though there is still the second leg.

[hahay]

In addition to the PSG v Real Madrid match, there is also a match between Sporting and Manchester City today and of course we will all agree that Manchester City will definitely win despite playing away. But I'm curious, what is the possible score for City's win whether it's a high score or a low score. Manchester City will play against Tottenham in the next EPL match, but even so I think City can still win by 1 or 2 goals in this match. However, considering Manchester City's previous result against Southampton with a full defensive strategy, in fact City can still be held to a draw, because it is difficult to penetrate a tight and disciplined defense. If Sporting can implement that, then it is very possible that we will get boring gameplay in this match as well.

[emrecemsan]

The big day has come and last 32 round in the Champions League is starting with today's matches. PSG - Real Madrid is the most attracting one for everyone of course. PSG are the advantageous team in this match as they are having a match home. But Real Madrid have been showing a great performance for a long time too. Their mesmerizing run can lead them to make big difficulties for PSG here also. I think that both teams will be scoring but PSG could still win by 2-1.
