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

[Uang_kartal]

enough to hold with the existing scoor, with the difference in shots from the two teams.
it seems that athletico is so eager to get a pretty good position in the early rounds.
Of course there are still a lot of disappointments from fans in this match because until the final round the score didn't change anything and ended in a draw (draw) and we who witnessed this were still curious which one team was superior to them. Maybe other friends also hope that there is 1 point that can be achieved. brought home full of pride for an offering for fans, regardless of the team for a true celebration of victory. maybe in the future it will be decisive as a team that can advance to the next season. even though I'm not a big fan I also want to continue watch the Atletico Madrid match

Manchester United didn't play well last night and they should still be thankful for drawing with Atletico Madrid, 1-1. Because by this level of performance, they would have definitely lost against a more powerful team. They are just lucky that Atletico Madrid's effort hasn't been much different than them. But it is still doubtful if they can make it to the next round of the CL. They must be aware of a fact that they are going to have to play much better than this in the rematch to have a big chance for eliminating their opponent.

Who United?  Yeah but that away goal by Man United is so crucial tho.  And the second leg is going to be at Old Trafford so it’s a tall order and all United needs to do is prevent Atletico Madrid from scoring a goal and they’re through to the quarter finals.  So we’ll see.

Looking at the results, it’s pretty obv that all 4 English clubs have great chances to progress and go through.  Have a bad feeling City might be paired vs Liverpool at some point.  Lol.  I hope later than sooner.

benfica 2 - 2 ajax

it was a big shock for me to see this result, i bet on ajax and i was confident that ajax would be able to win this game easily and they drew, honestly it doesn't even look like ajax, benfica is not a very strong team, they have difficulties in win when they play against strong teams from the portuguese league so they were supposed to lose in that game at least that was the analysis i did, i lost my money on that bet and my bankroll is reduced and even if i win the other two bets i wont be able to recover my bankroll and I will continue in the loss. it was a weekend with many losses and this game also lose

You have to say that Ajax even scored three of the four goals they scored, so for Ajax it's certainly a very good starting position for the second leg. You have to say that Ajax even scored 3 of the goals they scored.

According to media reports, UEFA is likely to officially postpone the Champions League final in St Petersburg from Russia on Friday, with a decision on where to move the match expected on Friday.

I don't think United will go all in, it makes no sense, this is the first match and it is much more profitable to lose 1-0 now and fix everything at home than to rush into the attack now and lose due to counter attacks with a larger score.
Ajax is awesome. The top scorer in the Champions League this season has already scored two goals, but one in his own net  

Winning in UCL is a pretty big deal especially in the 1st leg because it will makes the 2nd leg seems a little bit easier as the team wont be pressured that much to win but in this case, I dont see how United would win against Atletico so if we get to score a goal and get a draw on this game then its pretty much good enough for the 2nd leg.

Well what can you expect from Maguire, as usual this guy deserved to be benched forever

Edit : lol I edited this because Elanga just scored and its 1-1

In my opinion, the advantage of one goal now does not mean anything (it used to mean something if it was an away match) - everything will be resolved in the second match, and if the team that lost the first one is really stronger than the opponent, then one way or another it will be able to win back one goal.
I am very happy that United were able to finish the match even better - draw and now be the favorite in the return game.

[D-law]

I hope Benfica qualifies at the end of the day, the second leg will be at Ajax hosting them, I don't want Manchester United to face them, those lads are doing excellently great.
Manchester United, will do everything possible for this game, I hope to see Mac tominay back before that fixture, we have nothing to lose.

Not really important about how many away goal scored because new rule not adopted again with home or away goal, when second leg match result 0-0 its not advantage for Manchester United qualify to next round and match will extended on extra time before going on with penalty kick. I think have change rule with away goals and now Manchester United looking for winning only if want keep long time hold in UEFA Champion League. I see not have special performance last night when Manchester United draw with Atletico Madrid but still have another chance on second leg.

[diderdrogba]

And they did their thing as always by trying to keep their 1-0 advantage until the end. Because it was going to be enough for Juventus for the second leg. But Villarreal finally scored the equalizer however couldn't get ahead. And now, Juventus are still holding an advantage.

The away goal rule doesn't apply any longer. Therefore, no one has an advantage for the second leg. If the match ends with another draw, no matter how many goals are scored, it's heading into overtime.

Juventus defended very well for most parts of the game. They conceded a goal after they believed that Vlahovic was fouled while losing possession and instead of continuing to play, they froze and expected to hear the referees whistle. The goal that followed was amateurishly conceded. The Mckennie injury was bad because he is the only player with guts and quality in the current midfield. Except the goal, Juve was pretty clueless in that attacking half. I remember one attempt by Morata whose shot went over the goal and one by Locatelli with the same result. In the 2nd half, Vlahovic had one more shot that was saved. Other than that, they relied on defending and being pushed back towards their penalty box.     

Yes, I know that there is no away goal rule anymore. I actually meant that Juventus are playing much better in their home games so it could be seen as an advantageous score for them still. I believe that the second leg won't end up with a draw but it might still be a competitive one like the first game. But I have an expectation from Juventus like they would defeat Villarreal by one-goal difference. They are much stronger in attacking thanks to the Vlahovic transfer and they should be able to play more effective in Turin.

We all know that Manchester Untied is not a good club for Champions League, Atletico Madrid has been playing not good also this season also. One thing is also common to Atletico Madrid, the club do score 1 or 2 goals, if care is not taken, Manchester United may qualify for the next round.

Not really important about how many away goal scored because new rule not adopted again with home or away goal, when second leg match result 0-0 its not advantage for Manchester United qualify to next round and match will extended on extra time before going on with penalty kick.

I see not have special performance last night when Manchester United draw with Atletico Madrid but still have another chance on second leg.

I do not know away goal rule has been cancelled, which means if the game is drawn, it will lead to extra time and if no winner, it will lead to penalty irrespective of the goals scored between the two clubs. But we should never forget that Manchester United may play better at home which is still an advantage.

I thought the away rule for goals was abolished from this season, wasn't it?
For me, ManUnited remains an enigma. They must be satisfied with the result, because from the game performance they would not have deserved a draw. Atletico was clearly the better team but they failed to score more goals.

Manchester United has one chance and score the equalizing goal which hell them to have home stadium advantage in the second leg. However let's see how they let Athletico Madrid easily to dominate the first leg match, I don't have belief on them in the second leg.

I think have change rule with away goals and now Manchester United looking for winning only if want keep long time hold in UEFA Champion League. I see not have special performance last night when Manchester United draw with Atletico Madrid but still have another chance on second leg.

It is a luck for Athletico Madrid because has one point after dominating a match in which their opponent has only one chance to score goal is bad. But it is not a nightmare because they don't have to worry or have disadvantage because of that goal. They will just need to beat Manchester United in Old Trafford that is a possible task for them.

Pretty happy with this result. Despite not winning and Man United did not have many chances to score. They still have the second leg at Old Trafod that's an advantage. If you look at the match, Athletico played with a lot of offense. In addition, Ronaldo is also in guard, so that he can not move freely. Fortunately Elanga was able to be an alternative when Ronaldo struggled.
Simone is a genius coach, she has experience at UCL so Atletico's chances are still there, but I want Man United to qualify.

[fzkto]

It's a shame that Ajax scored an auto-goal in such an important match. If it wasn't for that mistake, I would have been sure they could have qualified for the quarterfinals. Although Benfica played as well as Ajax. Now they will have to try very hard in Amsterdam.

we also can't turn on the Haller, he tries really hard to look good. appear in Amsterdam later, ajax must be able to really play differently than in the 1st leg, they must be able to learn what mistakes make a "draw". yaremchuk is quite a difficult player, if there is no substitution, I'm sure ajax can pass easily.

We should not just blame Haller. Maybe he accidentally sent the ball into his own net. However, we cannot say that his performance in the entire match was bad. He played well. Tried a lot to score goals and bring victory to the team. Benfica's goalkeeper Vlachodimos played well, he saved 7 shots. Moreover, Benfica is not a weak team. It is not a shame to draw against them.

I thought Benfica was a weak team, but they looked very decent in this game. I hope they play well again in Amsterdam. By the way, this season both these teams were able to surprise everyone by reaching the play-offs of the Champions League.

[Marykeller]

Ronaldo has not been creating much-needed impact in the Manchester United match of late. Ronaldo freekicks are not more astonishing as before. Will Ronaldo's career end in Manchester United without lifting a trophy?
It's just unfortunate that Manchester United doesn't play like a standard quality team again. Manchester United's match against Athletico has made Athletico look so good while they are an average club. I wasn't expecting Manchester United to draw Athletico at all. Another blow for Manchester United players and fan

yes. that's right. the uefa decided today. probably the final will be moved to england.

[maju69]

As I said, Diego Simeone is not going to make room for Cristiano Ronaldo, he doesn't want to be brought down by him for the umpteenth time. But Ralf Rangnick had predicted that, he used other players to find a gap, and we saw Elanga really take advantage of that and he managed to score a goal to equalize for Manchester United.

I actually see this is not bad and managed to draw at Atletico is actually quite good for United now.
Even though Atletico's performance is quite bad in La Liga now but they are still a great team and when Manchester United dominate it is quite good for them.
On the other hand, Leg 2 they will be at Old Trafford, of course they will do their best now I think because it is supported by thousands of fans of course it will increase their enthusiasm.

Diego Simeone decision to turn off Ronaldo movement had an impact on the death of the attack that was built by Manchester in that match, Diego Simeone experience in European matches clearly we can't doubt anymore, even though Athletico is currently in poor form in La Liga but for European competition of course we Can't underestimate them, I think Athletico understands Manchester current weakness so much that they take the initiative to press from the start, Manchester frail defense made the Athletico players manage to create many chances but unfortunately they were unlucky so the match had to end with the score 1-1, I  think in the second leg, if Rangnick can't improve their defense, I really believe that the victory will belong to Atletico Madrid later.

which may prefer to draw in Man United's match with Atletico Madrid.

As I said back then, I wouldn't bet on winning Man United or Atletico Madrid. And finally, I became the winner of the bet who chose the draw. Meanwhile, Ajax with Benfica also matched the performance of Benfica who was able to rise from the pressure of Ajax players.

Waiting for Leg 2
Bayern 1.19 Vs Salzburg 12.00 
Liverpool 1.57 Vs Inter 5.40

Liverpool and Bayern of course will be very favored in this regard because Liverpool are now superior in Aggregate and they will play at Anfield which makes it even more difficult for Inter on the other hand Bayern are still very favored too even though in the First Leg they did not play well but at the moment I don't think it will be like that because it's the same as Liverpool they will also play at home and their performance is quite convincing.
But there is a note that Bayern have to do because they are now too busy attacking that they forget about the defense

[masulum]

Waiting for Leg 2
Bayern 1.19 Vs Salzburg 12.00  

The odds for Salzburg are so great, it could probably be picked in a small amount bet.   12 odds is a very high value, but the chances are very small for Salzburg to win this match. However, if you look at the Leg-1, they are success to managed to hold matche results with a draw. If they can win 2nd leg, this will be a new history for Salzburg while competing in the UCL. Is anyone here willing to bet on Salzburg, haha High risk high return for this bet
