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

[KTChampions]

Real Madrid - PSG game is getting close and it is only a week away from us right now. This is the game that I am very curious about now. I expect a high-scoring game above all else. Maybe PSG would defeat Real Madrid by the same score they defeated Bayern Munich last season away, 3-2. Or maybe a 2-1 score which is going to happen. But I have started thinking that PSG will still win this game even though Real Madrid give their best to turn the tide. PSG are still a team that is one step ahead of Real Madrid espeically by their incredible attacking players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.

Bookmakers are currently giving 1.69 for the total over (2.5). I think this is an adequate assessment - both clubs are incredibly good in attack and it will be difficult for goalkeepers to keep their goal intact. Despite the fact that the first match ended with a minimal score, I think things will be different in Madrid as Real Madrid will play in the most attacking style in order to suppress the game of PSG.

Looking only at the result of the first leg i also agree that Inter has almost zero chance now to advance into the next round after they have lost that match with 0-2. I have watched that whole match though and i have to say that Liverpool was very lucky that they have won that match and even luckier that they even won it with a difference of 2 goals. Inter had several chance to score the first goal in this match and it was very much possible that Inter could have won that game as they were the better team for me.
Now of course Liverpool has the big advantage and they can wait for good counter opportunities. If Inter manages to score an early goal though, then i think everything is possible.

Inter are indeed experiencing a lot of declines. Now in the Italian League, his position has also decreased to 3rd position after Milan and Napoli actually lead the top of the standings. Plus later will face Liverpool in UEFA then it is indeed a very unlucky moment for Inter to be in a safe position this week. If you look at the results of Leg 1, Liverpool certainly doesn't have a burden in Leg 2 later.

Intermilan opportunity to advance to the last 8 will likely stop in the second leg later, beating Liverpool at home is not impossible but with a 2 goal deficit of course Inter Milan needs a miracle to be able to score 3 goals without replying to get tickets to the next round, especially during this time if we see from the previous meeting, Inter Milan has never won over Liverpool and it looks like Liverpool will again extend their positive record in the second leg later.

It is certain that Klopp Liverpool will remain in great form as long as they don't have any missing players. And don't forget that besides that, big bets will take place for them. I see there are so many bookies who are ready to bet big on Liverpool. Even with 1.58 odds and a big one for Inter which is around 5.40. It will make us less likely to be trapped by throwing bets.

[Wawa2013]

For Inter they have difficult situation because they have to do away match on Anfield and so far Liverpool very strong at there and many teams admitted Anfield as the stadium with the best atmosphere because the fans are very fanatical about Liverpool and maybe some people still remember that Barcelona just can't win there and the situation will not so different that this match will belongs to Liverpool

Liverpool's chances of winning and qualifying for the next round are greater than Inter. Because apart from Liverpool will play at Anfield,
Liverpool's performance is much better than Inter. Even if we think back to the Inter vs Liverpool match in the first leg, even though playing
at the San Siro did not make Liverpool under pressure. Liverpool even controlled the game and created more chances, therefore Liverpool deserved
to win in the first leg. Then regarding the second leg match it seems quite a lot of people agree Liverpool will beat Inter, I also predict Liverpool
will win the game. Because Liverpool are indeed in their best form in the last few matches, it is quite difficult for Inter to beat Liverpool.

[buwaytress]

So yes, it looks like the match in the 2nd leg of course Liverpool can only play to pass the time by controlling the match, and of course they will score goals when the opportunity arises because in my view even though Inter are one of the teams that are in the race for the Serie A title but their quality is different to the teams from the EPL.

It seems to me that Liverpool is not the kind of team that will play for a draw or just waste time stupidly. They are always focused on the attack (by the way, sometimes this is to their detriment) and even when everything is already decided they try to score more goals. The match will take place at Endfield, this is an additional factor that will drive the players forward. I think the second match will be more effective than the first and Liverpool will win 3-1 or 4-1.

I'm of course going to agree. The team selection may be a surprise, but I'm sure Klopp will be a bit more assertive than in the FA Cup. This is still the best prize on offer -- it takes you to 2 more competitions (super cup and club world cup) and it's just a matter of prestige.

And woe to any manager who doesn't play to entertain at Anfield, or to any player who wants to sit back and not try. If we start with fringe players, they'll be desperate to please. If we start with the Manes and the Salahs, they're just too hungry to sit back.

We're on an 11 win-run. We'll want to make it 12, 13, etc. Momentum is the only way we can catch Citeh.

[Magicalking]

Liverpool must be looking forward to playing the second leg of the draw against Inter. Liverpool are already in such a great shape that they wouldn't let Inter get even a draw against them. They already have a 2-0 score advantage on aggregate for now. They wouldn't make do with a draw and they would finish Inter off by a solid performance in Anfield too. But I still appreciate Inter's high effort against Liverpool in Giuseppe Meazza. At least, they tried their best against one of the favourite teams for the title.

Based on the results we got so far from UEFA champion league table, show that it will be difficult for Liverpool team to drop point in their next match. Liverpool team will not joke with their second leg match because they will not allow anything that will make the match to end draw than to use all their professional strategies to defeat inter team 1:0 to give their fans more celebration. Liverpool coach has learnt  from their past mistakes, never to allow draw to happen in their match again in this tournament.

Liverpool is not under pressure, a draw or win will be great for Liverpool, they have one foot already in the next round. That being said, Liverpool have never had a bad campaign in the uefa champions league in recent times to be very honest. All Liverpool needs is a draw to progress but fans would be disappointed if they don't score or win after that great display in Italy.

It will not comfortably say that PSG will eliminate Real Madrid and neither will I say that PSG has a better attack than Real Madrid as you said. The only factor which is also an advantage to PSG is winning the first leg game. The winning is what has given them an edge.
Even the winning they had was not easy despite that Benzema was not fit for the match. This second leg we all may witness surprising things, ofcourse it will not be surprising to see Real Madrid eliminate PSG. In this kind of case big names does not really count as the biggest name disappointed the last time and even missed pk.

[Magicalking]

I'm more sure Liverpool will win the Champions League than Win the English league. Because in the English league Manchester city is so mighty. It's very difficult to catch up with Manchester City even though the difference is very small.

So you are admitting that Manchester City is so "mighty" but then again claim that you are so sure the Liverpool will win the Champion's League. You do realize that Manchester City is still in the Champion's league... right?

According to your assumption, do you think Liverpool can beat "so might" Ma City in the UCL?

Manchester City has been the favorite to win the Champions League every year for years. So far it hasn't worked once, a few times it was bad (out against Lyon for example) but they have also had bad luck, just think of the game against Tottenham in which a last minute goal was disallowed. A favorite every year, and again this year. It is only a matter of time before Manchester City win the Champions League. I dare say that Manchester City is a better team than Liverpool.

Manchester City is a better team than Liverpool no doubt but can Manchester City win a Uefa champions league final against a team like Liverpool? The answer is No! In competition as this, many factors come to play and the most important of them all is the experience of winning the competition before. This is why Chelsea could beat Manchester City at the final although City has been impressive throughout the competition last year.

I agree with you, Liverpool will play to win, there are many reasons for this and I have already spoken about this before. In addition to the motivation to win at the home stadium, Liverpool is also motivated by UEFA, as the team receives very decent bonuses for winning the playoffs for each victory. Well, if you enjoy the process, as Liverpool does, you will always play to win. Therefore, I think that Livepool will win at home and score at least two goals.

[Fesatmas]

Apart from Liverpool going against Inter, I'm also not surprised that Bayern Munich against Salzburg will be interesting to watch. Most of them focus on Liverpool vs Inter, which is the most prestigious event as the match with the most bets. Here I also see Bayern will try to show a performance that will not be the same as in Leg 1 which was only a draw. Likewise, Salzburg, who had just started their appearance, did not want to be quickly eliminated.

Liverpool is going to have a good time in that match. They have a pretty comfortable lead and they don't have to do much in this match and I don't expect them to face any trouble defending that lead. I think it's quite safe to say that they are advancing to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. But my prediction is there are still going to win the second leg.

I think that we all are forgetting something. After Messi has arrived in PSG, he doesn't look the same as before. He has lost his flair I would say. And age is also taking a toll. And Kylian Mbappé has a lot of transfer talks surrounding him. Now I am not saying that these things will affect the playstyle or results of the match but maybe this could cause some mental disadvantage for PSG.

Bad for Inter, i said Inter we lost.
In my opinion, at the next leg, Inter will lose again and leave the Champions League.
It's a shame, it's a team that could give a lot and instead, it's going very badly.

I don't think Inter have a chance away against Liverpool either! Especially after the 2-0 home defeat... Losing two points against such a strong opponent is already a disaster... I don't know what Inter have to offer against Liverpool... I think a miracle won't happen, since it didn't happen in the last game!

Firstly, Liverpool is a strong team. Liverpool's players will be completely stress free in this match after winning the second match. If you want to perform well, it is important to have stress free. Thirdly, I would say it is Liverpool's home match. And at home Liverpool is a very strong team. Liverpool have collected the most points in their home games in the Premier League. So I think Liverpool will win the second match against Inter.

I have seen the performance of the last several matches of Inter Milan. Inter Milan lost points against weaker teams like Sassuolo and Geona. Their results in these two matches were completely unexpected and disappointing. With such a poor performance, they cannot expect good results against a strong team like Liverpool. Liverpool are now in good form and their squad is more experienced than Inter Milan.

I also agree because even though we all know that Manchester city is certainly a better team than Liverpool, I think the competition like the UEFA Champions League Liverpool has the upper hand over City.

It's not the average League game where consistency is everything. What I am trying to say is the competitions are different from each other in various ways. And in certain competitions, certain teams will be better than the others and I think in this case Liverpool is going to do better than City.

Last season we saw Manchester City fail to win the title despite being favorites. Manchester City's performance in the previous full Champions League was outstanding. I thought for the first time Manchester City were going to win the Champions League. But unfortunately we saw their poor performance against Chelsea in the final.
Looking at Liverpool's performance at the moment, they seem to be the strongest, but we can't say for sure if they will win the title. I see PSG, Manchester City and Liverpool have equal chances to win the title.

For UCL I am still confused about who will win this season.
There are still a lot of clubs that concern me like PSG, Liverpool and City. But indeed until now there is still nothing that really makes me sure.
but maybe it will be better if you look after the 2nd leg is finished and the opponent is determined again because in my opinion it will be more conical there

Liverpool is a great danger to any team, they could end up winning UCL this year as well because they are looking like a well oiled machine like their old days. The start of the season may not be that great for them, but they have recovered that.

Spoortsbooks even decided to pay up on City as we all know from sportsbet.io, and now we are seeing how amazing Liverpool recovered already. Doesn't mean they will become the premier league champions, we do not know that but they are uncomfortably close for the bookies. That is why I believe that they should be given some sort of benefit of doubt even on UCL let alone on premier league. Not just for this game, they can win this easily, but for the whole thing.
