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

[ahmia39]

Manchester City are the most comfortable now, how not, they already have a 5 goal advantage which they created in the first meeting. And Sporting I see it's difficult to turn things around, even though Manchester City didn't play as impressive a game as in the first meeting, Sporting still won't be able to beat Manchester City. Yes Manchester City can now be more flexible to rotate their players.

Manchester City are too superior for Sporting, they currently have a very complete squad and of course they deserve to go all the way to the Final.  I believe this year Pep Guardiola will win the Champions League title for the first time for Manchester City.

Bayern Munich will have difficulties once again when playing against Salzburg, Salzburg was an unstoppable team in the Austrian championship, they will be a big obstacle to Bayern Munich that this season has not been a team to win games constantly and has not managed to score many goals constantly

But Bayern Munich playing at Allianz is an advantage also in the second leg and the aggregate is still 1-1 it's clear to me Bayern Munich can beat Salzburg even though we know the Austrian team always makes it difficult for Bayern Munich in the first leg.
It's also interesting they will try to defend or score goals continuously but I think Bayern Munich can overcome this.


It remains my choice of Bayern Munich with a small chance.

It would be a huge surprise if Bayern gets eliminated tomorrow. Bayern has 1.2 odds to win after 90 minutes but the odds for the qualification for the next round are much clearer: Bayern 1.06 and Salzburg 9.0. I except a clear result for Bayern in this game. Something like a 2-0 or 3-1

Yes, but I do not believe that Bayern Munich will be eliminated. People will be surprised a lot if Bayern don't qualify.
I've set the odds to 1.20 on Stake.com judging my prediction to be 2-0 at Allianz.
In the same match I chose Liverpool at Anfield even though I don't know whether Inter Milan will come back or not, this will make it difficult for Inter.

[YOSHIE]

the game between Bayern and Liverpool are not decided yet, I'm a fan of both teams and even then I'm not so confident as to underestimate Inter and Salzburg. especially in the case of Salzburg they can still beat Bayern

Of course they are dubbed as a giant team, especially in Europe they both in Europe have a super elite reputation, I also imagine what will happen if Liverpool and Bayern meet in the Champions League, you could say they rarely meet on the pitch.

I'm sure that if Liverpool and Bayern were fixed in the Champions League final this time, a lot of people would be betting for both, it's a competitive match that could make bettors hot and cold.

I won't agree that manchester city are superior i feel they just have confidence in their style of play and this has been Pep  Guardiola secret althrough his coaching career, He is good in making his players believe they are the best. Sporting isn't a tough team for Man city that doesn't make them the best anyways but the stand better chance of winning the champions league if the keep the pace

Watching the first game between Paris St German and Real Madrid I came away with the feeling Madrid lacked quality and talent. However, with the likes of luka Modric and Karim Benzema Madrid can change a game in an instant. At the bernabeu as well, the French team will have to make sure their defences are not deterred by the cacophony of the spanish fans. Look out for the super star duo of mbappe and messi to lye dormant until the moments ready. Casimero and Veratti to be booked for you betting fans . Also this week, man united v athletico madrid will be a tense battle of chances missed, both teams lack real quality to win the champions league; therefore each decision on the pitch will be analysed. Other than that, City will dominate lisbon at the emptyhad, slazburg try to upset bayern liverpool and inter will battle it out in anfield, i see no real upset here with liverpool in fine form.

I see no upset for the Bayern, Liverpool and City games. Those fixtures seems settled already. The fixture for the week is certainly better PSG and Real Madrid, since Madrid are home one would expect that the fans and playing in their own pitch would swing a thing or more for Madrid in the game.
All eyes will be on Mbappe and Messi but I think Neymar would be the one to cause Madrid havoc.

Actually, I think that maybe PSG might end up being hesitant whether to defend or to attack in this match because they have a lead. Even though it's not too comforting but they still do have a lead and I think Real Madrid will play this very attacking. But I don't know about PSG because with their squad they should not be afraid of anything but with their form, well, that's another story.

I just think that this odds discrepancy is an exaggeration, it's not like Bayern Munich were that extremely strong team from the past, look at their last games to see that they're not as strong as they were in the past, in the last game of bundesliga they drew. I'm a fan of Bayern Munich, I believe the game will be difficult, and anything can happen

But Bayern Munich is not that easy to get rid of. Precisely the big possibility is that Bayern will play more optimally in order to get a ticket to the next round. Their only chance is to beat Salzburg. Bayern is the team that will surprise Salzburg. The bet at 1.20 odds is very small, and the choice for Salzburg can indeed make us think twice.

I don't know about PSG because with their squad they should not be afraid of anything but with their form, well, that's another story.

Bonus-
Casemiro & Kroos will be missing the match. That will be a flood for Madrid. I'm a Madrid fan, no doubt I will place bet on Madrid to win but this will be hard for them with the young combination. 1st leg was disaster for them. But I believe PSG will have more harder time than they would expect in Santiago Bernabeu; with the comeback of Ultras Sur after a long time.

Liverpool to win and both teams to score, Bayern vs Salzburg 1 - 1!

I feel like Liverpool could win without conceding.  I mean they did it before at the reverse fixture...  But if they do concede, I think they'd still be up by two goals.  So prolly Liverpool to win -1 handicap at 1.91 should prolly be a safe bet here?  What do you think?  You get your money back if score line is something like 1 - 0, 2 - 1.  

And with the City match, I feel like Pep will relax, bench most of his key players and play mostly the B squad.  The under three goals could be good here at 2.16.  The match could end with something like 2 - 0, 3 - 0.  If 3 - 0 you get your money back too.

I am not a Real Madrid fan nor am I a PSG fan but I believe PSG can dominate Real Madrid in the second leg if PSG play like the first leg. Real Madrid are very experienced in the Champions League but I'm not sure about their chances this season with Ancelotti.

I agree with you that the first leg is a disaster for Real Madrid, but if Real Madrid are not passionate enough to win the match then PSG will qualify for the next round. Both teams have a chance to qualify even though PSG have won the first leg by 1 goal. I wouldn't bet on any team, but PSG don't look worthy to be underestimated.

The main problem is that many people just look at names. Perhaps by the names this is really the best trio. But we are not in a FIFA 20XX game where you can put together a team of different players from different times and get a team where all the players are in their prime. It's too late for Messi to be in the best trio, it's too early for Mbappe, and it's hard to evaluate Neymar at all 

As for Individuals they are still good but as you said they are still looking at the names and individual skills in looking at the trio.
Even though they have quite good individual skills it doesn't mean they can be very crazy for the trio.
I think for now the clubs in the EPL still have a pretty good trio for now even though their individual abilities can be said to have lost in terms of fame but there are indeed some clubs like Liverpool who make a very good trio now.

Even if evaluated individually, in my opinion only Mbappe stands out from the rest. Neymar and Messi are the same hard workers as Pogba (who is criticized by everyone, often undeservedly), Hazard, Gnabi, etc. But are they as good as Salah? I have big doubts about this. Therefore, I am surprised by categorical statements like "the best trio next to which no one can compare."

Now they don't have to think about UCL I think because Aggregat has spoken now and of course it's very difficult if Sporting wants to make a comeback.
I think for City it will be an easy game and this is their chance to rotate players and to test the players who have been on the bench for a long time because even if they play like this I still have doubts

[Furious 7]

I'm a fan of Bayern Munich, I believe the game will be difficult, and anything can happen

I don't think it's like that, but if you look at it, it's quite big for Bayern I think because even though their performance has decreased in recent weeks and one of them can be held to a draw in the first leg, it doesn't mean their team is very bad.
The match will be difficult, that's for sure because even if they are a regular team in the UCL, there will still be strong pressure in every opponent they face.
Sarzburg now know what kind of defense they will do but even if they are like that but I think Naglesmann will think hard to finish the game until 90 minutes

Liverpool did win with a clean sheet last game, so I guess they can do it again, why not! I just think that Inter is short for two goals and if they don't start aggressively with big pressure they are totally doomed! I mean what do they have to lose?! Of course, that opens their back door for possible counterattacks, and with Liverpool, every counterattack can be dangerous! So I definitely agree that -1 handicap on Liverpool looks like a safe bet, especially if you get your money back if they win with just one goal difference... I will probably take this bet! Thanks!

The guys from the second team will surely try to prove themselves! So it could happen that City breaks Sporting again with a lot of goals! But still, they come relieved and without any chances, so maybe they play well, bearing in mind that they have no pressure! Definitely, good odds for less than 3 goals, which can happen in this game...  everything is resolved, I doubt that Sporting can score a single goal, so it's just a question of how many goals will they receive?! I will think about this bet, it will be interesting to see the starting lineup of Citi before the match and I will probably decide on this bet in that moment!

[fzkto]

Inter are likely to lose to Liverpool tomorrow. Or even if there is a draw, Liverpool will go through to the next round. I can't imagine Inter scoring three goals without missing a goal. So far I see Liverpool and Manchester City in the final. In general this year a lot of English clubs have made it through the group stage and we are more likely to see an English final like last year.

[Desmong]

My prediction for this week champion league are as follows;
Real Madrid had a good game during the week, Paris Champions also lost during the weekend, but I see Real Madrid getting knocked out big this competition.
Inter Milan also are sure going out, they have had it wrong in there last two games in the league also lossing to Liverpool, they found their selves last week winning nfive goals to nothing.
Liverpool will sure move to the next level, they just can't win over Liverpool.

[DanWalker]

Bookmakers are not giving even any chance for Salzburg as it seems. Bayern Munich have an odd around 1.15 while Salzburg are having around 15 now. And I understand why they are underestimating Salzburg too. Because Bayern Munich didn't show their real strength against Salzburg. They just wanted to keep it for the second leg. And we will definitely see it in this game. Salzburg should have won the first leg somehow to have more chance for next round. But they have not much right now. It would have been epic if they eliminated Bayern Munich. I'm talking like it has already ended because I believe it has.  

Well, a match has not ended until it actually has. So I think ok Bayern  Munich should win but who knows maybe there could be a twist in the tale. But that actually seems highly unlikely and for Salzburg, I think, they just need to defend with their life and maybe they can catch Bayern Munich off guard.

[Woodie]

I don't know about PSG because with their squad they should not be afraid of anything but with their form, well, that's another story.

No doubting Thomas about this game... PSG are not in their best of forms who can't guarantee their win and Real Madrid being the legends they are when it comes to champions league football am counting this as a win for these guys as they know how to win such competitive games!

sORRY PSG FANS, ITS JUST THE PLAIN OLD TRUTH

[BITCOIN4X]

Actually, I think that maybe PSG might end up being hesitant whether to defend or to attack in this match because they have a lead. Even though it's not too comforting but they still do have a lead and I think Real Madrid will play this very attacking. But I don't know about PSG because with their squad they should not be afraid of anything but with their form, well, that's another story.

There is no plausible reason to see PSG so eager to maintain their 1 goal lead against Real Madrid in the second leg. Real Madrid can score more goals to bounce back and qualify for the next round so 1 goal is not a justifiable reason to stay.

PSG will have to score more goals in the second leg against Real Madrid if they are to qualify, but I believe Real Madrid will perform better than the first leg. We will not see Real Madrid just enjoying PSG's game in the second leg and maybe a total attacking strategy will be applied in this match by the coach. Unfortunately only one of these favorites will qualify, but PSG should be able to prove itself worthy of qualifying after bringing Messi back to Spain for the first time.
