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

[xmonkeyx]

It's already end game for the tie between Manchester City and Sporting Lisbon of Portugal. It's a big No If you prolly ask me if they will win the game against Manchester City.
They can't sum up large number of goals like that at Etihad.
Inter had a soft win last night, they'll be down for Liverpool as well at Anfield,issue another victory from the reds anyway.

Of course the Man City match is over, they have won the 1st leg big and mid-week the 2nd leg will be played at Man City's home. It is very unlikely for Sproting Lisbon to win big and catch up on aggregate.
Inter Milan I think have a slight chance, they are only 2 goals behind, and it's still possible even if it's a slim chance because Liverpool are in good form.

The second leg of the Champions League is now only a few days away but in my opinion there are already several teams that are certain to qualify now like Chelsea, Liverpool and City.
Even though there is some speculation about them but I am very sure these 3 teams will definitely qualify because apart from being superior in terms of players they are also now superior in terms of Aggregate which makes it difficult for their opponents at this time.
With a result like this, I'm actually quite sure that the UCL Trophy will be brought back by the EPL club this season

There is no doubt that the trio have set themselves up for the next stage but not to get ahead of ourselves these guys need to finish what the started or they will get a shocker of a game which means crashing out of the competition... Which is something the champions league brings.

That's right, Premier League teams are now starting to dominate again in the Champions League. After several seasons always dominated by teams from Spain. But the revival was already starting to be felt when Liverpool brought the Champions League trophy to England, and last season it was Chelsea's turn to get the same opportunity. This season it also looks like the Champions League trophy is more likely to land in England again.

yes I think so too, and I think Man City have a great chance to bring the Champions League trophy to England this season, the second leg later they will face Sprting Lisbon and they have an aggregate lead of 5 goals I think it is almost impossible for Sporting Lisbon to catch up that.

The three PL teams managed to win quite convincingly in the first leg of the champions league, I think both teams (Inter Milan and Lille) still have a small chance of qualifying, I think maybe Intermilan and Lille will be able to surprise us all and maybe later They will make a comeback in the 2nd leg match, in my opinion the only PL team that can be certain that they have already qualified is Manchester City at this time, because it seems impossible for sporting to score 6-0   to Manchester City goal in the second leg.

The one who wins a lot of goals in the first leg will obviously get a chance to qualify, especially in the second leg all clubs will work hard to get better, but Manchester City already has strong capital to ensure that they qualify for the next round because they have beaten their opponents. by scoring more goals in the previous match and in the second leg later Manchester City just need to maintain their performance so that not many goals are scored against them.

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

Its always difficult to win Liverpool at home, the support they receive from fans is a huge boost for them.
Well, i don't think Inter Milan can do much harm to Liverpool at Anfield because they are really good playing home matches plus with the number of quality players they have inter milan don't stand a chance against them.

yes I agree with you about sporting Lisbon it is impossible to turn things around with Manchester city. but with Manchester City winning the Champions League I think it's too early to talk about it, maybe Manchester city can be so dominant in their domestic league, but I think they are very difficult to get to the Champions Final even to become Champions I think it's difficult, the reason I was in Manchester City don't have the mentality to win the Champions League.

Unfortunately, Sporting already before the elminitoria started, they already had the consciencia that they would not be able to fight against Man City. It is a very young and inexperienced team in international competitions, in this case in the Champions League.

Despite this, and having conceded 5 goals, it was noted that they always looked for something from the game, they did not limit themselves to defending. In the second leg the game should be similar, with Man City playing players who play less, but the result will still be the victory.

I read in a news forum that 2022 UEFA champions league final will be held at Stade de France in Paris and not in Moscow and final will be played on 28 May. am I late in sharing this new? and that Russian and Ukrainian clubs and national teams competing UEFA will be required to play their home matches at the neutral venues. I am just thinking how will team respond to each other players.

well it is old news... anyway, taking away the games from the Russians is a section, but for Ukraine it's all about safety. How would any team be willing to plan a game Ukraine during these times? You don't even know whether there is any hotel left over in weeks from now... It's the right decision in the best interest of anyone's safety.

Coming to get a victory in Anfield is a complete nightmare for Inter Milan and every other club in the world. On a normal day it is a difficult task for clubs, let alone now that many circumstances are surrounding it .
Circumstances as the excellent form of Liverpool, also circumstances as the good players Liverpool is parading now, circumstances of Anfield and the fans therein and finally circumstances as 2goals down. So, it is near impossible for Inter Milan.

I think that Bayern Munich and Liverpool are already one of the qualifiers for the quarter finals now. I remember that Bayern Munich had a really big difficulty in getting a draw against Salzburg in the first leg. But this shouldn't be misleading at the same time. Because there is a huge power difference between these teams. And in Allianz Arena, I'm sure that Bayern Munich will prove my words right. And Liverpool already sealed the deal in Giuseppe Meazza by 2-0. There is no way they are losing in Anfield.

I think still not yet for Bayern Munich already qualifier to quarter final because first leg held by Salzburg and they will face on second leg with have 50% opportunity each other team. Between Salzburg and Bayern Munich have the same chance although Bayern advantage with playing home, but looks different with Liverpool could guarantee qualifier to quarter final because first leg success defeated Inter Milan at Giuseppe Meazza and second leg on Anfield Stadium will make easy with support by fans.

Inter vs Liverpool and Lille vs Chelsea have theoretical chances - only two goals difference and if they are lucky there is a chance to equalize. Although of course, this is a significant advantage. City after the away match has an advantage of 5 goals and there will definitely not be any struggle even theoretical. It turns out that now the outcome is predetermined in only one pair - this is very good, because there is no interest in watching the game, the result of which does not affect anything (like Manchester City - Sporting).

I wouldn't really agree with you.
Bayern actually had to lose the game to Salzburg and with a lot of luck they drew.
It seems to me that they are not currently playing at the level they played at the beginning of the season so Salzburg still has a good chance even though Bayern is of course the favorite.
Liverpool won undeservedly in Milan because Inter played great and deserved a much better result.
In this match, everything is still open.
Uncertain and exciting matches await us in which the hosts will be favorites.

Inter Milan just got a big win in their domestic league I think it will be a reference and addition to their mentality to face Liverpool, even though they are 2 goals behind I think anything is still possible even though the chances for Inter Milan are very small. I think this match is going to be tough again.

on the other hand Bayern need a win I think they will get it easily, Salzburg is not a strong opponent for Bayern who have a better composition of players, in the first leg Bayern were just unlucky, they attacked a lot but failed to score a and managed to control the game with well, the goal came only in the last minute of the game to avoid Bayern from losing, from the whole game Bayern played very well, and when the second leg will be played at Bayern I believe Bayern will win big.

Liverpool are qualifiers already but that of Bayern Munich can't be certain, as for Liverpool's their form currently are top notch and they also have the goal difference advantage and a good record at Anfield so it's unlikely for them to lose. While Bayern Munich are superior to Salzburg but still lets not forget too soon that they almost lost their first game against Bayern until they equalized at the last minute of the game.

What is been played here is football and there's no assurance of one team defeating the other not minding their playing power. Bayern Munich need to come into this game like the losing side and fight from the very first minutes to get as many goals as possible and they should be early to kill what ever motivation Salzburg has coming into the games. Anything that make the first half to end draw or goalless then Bayern Munich has a problem.

The Liverpool event has been highly anticipated. Moreover, we know-how so far Liverpool has shown its existence which is increasing day by day. And to continue Leg 2 this time, penetrating with a scoring advantage seems like it will be more fun against Inter. I really hope that Liverpool's formation will be completely complete with core players who are not absent, as well as Inter.

Followed by Bayern Munich vs Salzburg, being the toughest bet for Salzburg players to be able to get past Bayern, especially after the results in the first leg with a draw, inevitably the two will compete with each other. But not for Liverpool who could be calmer.

I think that in the optimal composition, when the Vinicius-Benzema combination plays in Real Madrid, the attack of Real Madrid is at least as good as that of PSG. I don't remember saying otherwise, maybe I put it wrong (or you misunderstood). As for the result, when two strong clubs meet (and not Bayern - Salzburg for example), any result is not surprising.

To think that ANY trio would be better than "neymar-mbappe-messi" trio is delusional. I mean we are talking about the three amazing players here that would be hard to compete against in any situation and it would be near impossible to catch them even if you spent a billion dollars to build a club. And we have other players there and behind them that could replace and make it closer.

Like for example, if you put di maria there, instead of neymar, then you could be closer, or if you remove mbappe and put someone else then it could be closer, but when we are talking about these three at the same time then the talent level just exceeds anything we have seen since neymar-messi-suarez trio (weird they have the same two).

Nonsense. This is all fan fiction far from reality. Neymar is never close to the top, the most overrated player in history, current form is unclear due to injury. Messi is an age-old player from another team and a different playing scheme who has not been able to adapt to the club for a whole season. Mbappe - no questions, a promising and talented player who in the future (in the future but not now) can become a genius.
Best trio? Not even close.

Hm, Even if they still draw but I still don't have any doubts for Bayern in this second leg, Their chances are still very big and of course this is thanks to the quality of the players and the quantity they play.
Sarzburg can hold them off but the second leg now will feel different because it is certain that Naglesmann will let this end easily for Sarzburg.
Alianz Arena is not a friendly place for clubs that will visit there

Kroos seems to be injured. Would not actually be good news for Real Madrid...

Even more so for himself. I hope he is going to be healthy. He has a great character and is a great player. Would be sad if he can't support the team and they actually lose the game then. Other than that I would be happy to see PSG advance as well just out of curiosity to see how far they can make it against Man City or Bayern Munich or Liverpool, should it come to those match ups.

Benzema was not completely healthy in the first leg. Yet he was present on the field. And we saw the poor performances of Benzema and Real Madrid. Kross is an important player for Real Madrid. If he is not in the team, Real Madrid will get in trouble again. Real Madrid lost the first match. So there is no option to win the home match against PSG. PSG's gameplay is excellent now. Winning this match will not be easy.

Yeah Kroos injured may not be play and will be replaced by youngster Eduardo Camavinga, PSG is not an opponent to be underestimated, after all at the club there is a mainstay sticker and the defender is also classy. It's not easy for Real Madrid to win games, but anything can happen because opportunities can come at any minute so let's enjoy this game later.
