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

I agree with the people who are saying that Bayern Munich haven't still guaranteed anything. Until the game is played, there is nothing certain about their Salzburg game. The only thing we have is that the first game ended up with a draw by 1-1. And Bayern Munich should be thankful for not losing that game too. They will definitely want to make up for their bad performance of course. I will be favouring Bayern Munich of course but they should play carefully not to give many spaces to their opponent.

[terrorJR]

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 think this bet is better although it is quite risky.
1.20 for a team like Bayern, of course it's still worth it, I think, apart from their current performance which is still being highlighted, I think for Leg 2 they will most likely win in regular time because scoring 1 goal against Salzburg is still very possible even though they have defense as well as Striker which can be said to be quite good for now

We have some very strange matches in current season specially from top teams in different leagues so just because of this mostly peoples feeling there are still doubt in Bayern Munich against Salzburg is also not bad team they can do something tight against in this match and this can create problems for Bayern Munich because recently they are losing few matches unexpectedly, so we have few very entertaining matches in this phase foremost we are going to watch inter surely going out of Champions League with sporting is also having no chance and in other two matches we have to wait for until last whistle is going to below from referee because these two matches are anybody game with anything can happen until last second of match.

Manchester United played very badly in the derby against Man City but I think the UCL game will be different and I believe Ronaldo will play for the game against Atletico Madrid, if Ronaldo does not play then I say it is almost impossible for them to win the game.
What must be remembered is that Ronaldo has always been a frightening figure for Atletico Madrid when playing in the UCL stage, both when Ronaldo was with Real Madrid and Juvetus.
f Ronaldo is in the main line-up for Manchester United I think they will be able to win this game.

The difference is not just because one was Premier league and the other is champions league. The difference is even bigger when you consider that one was Manchester City versus the other which is Athletico Madrid. I mean it is obvious that ATM is a worse team than City, so the game should be easier. Obviously United is not a great team and they haven't won a game in the last 3 games. So, I am guessing that it is going to be a bit difficult for sure.

However, that was obvious even after the draw, and not something because they lost horribly against City. That was expected even before the champions league started. Any team that plays against City, even if it is PSG, ends up having hard time and United is no exception to that, there are very few teams in the entire world that could play against City and not be underdogs. So I will give him that game, and it was normal result.

[Gosgosking]

We really hope that in the next match of UCL Man United vs Atletico Madrid, Hopefully, Ronaldo can play again in excellent condition and completely healthy. Ronaldo's absence certainly had a big impact on Man United.

I also hope the same, Ronaldo must play in the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid. If Man United cannot release Ronaldo, I suspect Man United will be defeated again with big scores. We must be aware if Atletico Madrid has been playing better lately, they even can beat Betis with 2 goals difference. Man United will be in trouble if Ronaldo is still injured.

Cristiano Ronaldo missing on last night derby with Manchester City after Ralf Rangnick confirmed about his player got injury, still not have any confirmation yet will Cristiano Ronaldo already for champion league match against Atletico Madrid on UEFA champion league? I think Cristiano Ronaldo need to be Manchester United line up player on champion league because without him looks hard how to beat Atletico Madrid after last night destroy by Manchester City without him on the line up team. I think draw score on first leg looks not easy for Manchester United and get bad performance after defeating by City.

I cant really understand what could be the problem of Manchester united for them performing poorly, Manchester United have not been performing very well even when Ronaldo was present in the team, there performance has always not been stable, if Ronaldo was to be present in yesterday match their would have been a different.

[Desmong]

I'm worried for Bayern Munich, they drew their last game against this same team , Salzburg.
Salzburg should have won the game much earlier but Bayern came back tried winning the game but it was pretty hard for them to do so.

I hope Ronaldo recovers fully so he could be part of the squad that will battle ATM, United has been in poor form and from the look of things united chances of going to the champions league next season is minimal.
For United to win ATM, Ronaldo needs to be in the game and Ralf needs to allow him to play his free role instead of playing him up front where he won't see good passes to score.

[Coyster]

I'm worried for Bayern Munich, they drew their last game against this same team , Salzburg.
Salzburg should have won the game much earlier but Bayern came back tried winning the game but it was pretty hard for them to do so.

Well yes, Bayern should have won the first leg, i mean everyone expected them to win as nobody even gave Salzburg any chance, but i must say that they proved everybody wrong and actually should have picked up a win, but sadly they were able to only take a draw. But honestly i am not worried at all for Bayern Munich, i know that the first leg was difficult for them, but i can't see them having too many problems putting Salzburg away in the second leg, they are going to be too strong for their opponent on the night and i am pretty sure we'll watch Bayern play in the QF.

I also think that the media inflate the scandal from scratch. In any case, when the team's performance and results are not all right, then you can find a bunch of reasons why all this is happening and the absence of the injured Ronaldo on the bench clearly occupies one of the last places among the reasons for what is happening. Perhaps on the contrary, Ronaldo decided to save his nerves by being useless on the bench and decided to recharge his batteries in Portugal before the second leg of the Champions League. And yes, I agree that Ronaldo must be healthy to benefit the team, especially since Atletico Madrid seems to be doing better in recent matches than Manchester United.

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 think Inter will score a goal and probably be the first to score then Liverpool will turn the tables around and win, so I would I am skeptical about the first pick, they could draw, and I agree with your second pick, I also think a maximum of three goals man city can score in that match, my prediction is 2-0, Sporting won't be that excited to play that match and try to comeback so I don't expect a lot of goals from both sides.

Pretty sure Bayern will win tonight with at least 2 different goals. I look at bet leaning toward Bayern with 80% win, 12%draw and 7% for Salzburg. but still, in football anything change can happen, when draw and penalty, Manuel Neuer already recovered to keep the clean sheet. while Salzburg, there are some players who can't be playing tonight due to injury.

If you look at the current performance of Bayern Munich, it has shown that this match they really want to win and end Leg 2 in a landslide. It doesn't appear that the intensity of the players has decreased, but this could make it even more interesting that Salzburg will struggle in Leg 2. Bayern are aiming for big points. In fact, if Bayern players really want to show their existence, we can see that when they played against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, they only drew. In my opinion, Salzburg are ahead 4:0 in the Austria Bundesliga by beating R. Altach.

[CryptoBuds]

Mbappe may not be on the field for the match against Real Madrid. He injured his leg during training. And now performing against Real Madrid has become uncertain. This is very sad news for PSG fans. Mbappe is a very important player in the PSG team. If he is not in the team, they will have a lot of problems to score. Hopefully he will be unable to recover quickly.

Bayern Munich will not repeat the same mistake when they played 1-1 at a home to Salzburg, Bayern will try to take advantage of 90 minutes to prove that they deserve to go into the next round. In the second leg which was held at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich was favored to win this match. Because they have a good record in the Champions League.

Despite being the leading team in this match, Bayern must remain vigilant. Since their performance has decreased slightly in the last 5 matches, recorded in all the competitions they participated in, Bayern Munich could only win 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

The latest news from Bayern Manuel Neuer still cannot play and for Salzburg i can see approximately 7 players who got injuried and i think this will giving big impact for Salzburg performance and actually Bayern only need 1 goals without conceded to qualified but after seeing this news i think Bayern can scoring at least 2 goals or more but let's see the performance for both of teams whether Bayern or Salzburg will playing better

If this is the case then maybe Mbappe will not be in the squad then this is bad news for PSG. Real Madrid is a very experienced team. They performed poorly in the first match, so PSG won the match 1-0. It is unthinkable that Real Madrid will perform similarly in the second leg. Real Madrid's goal in this match will be to win. They will want to go to the next round of the Champions League.

I have read the news.

Mbappe injured his foot while training and Mbappe cannot save them every time. Football has become boring because of minor injuries that exclude players. PSG confirmed Sergio Ramos will miss the second leg of the Champions League clash with Real Madrid. He has never played in a major match for PSG. So what's his purpose there? What is he there for? It would be great to see him play against Real Madrid. It's still going to be PSG's season anyway, with the help of the GOAT Messi and his teammates.

I don’t expect Bayern to underestimate them again, and I believe that they’ll attack right from the start hence I expect them to score goals quickly and advance to the next round easily.

@Minor Miner if Mbappe is not on the pitch then it’ll indeed be very difficult for PSG to win, and his absence will certainly give confidence to Real Madrid that they can beat PSG, however PSG does have many star player’s, but for some reason they haven’t performed well and if PSG wants to win then they’ll have to step up and perform in Mbappe absence.

Even though the PSG vs Real Madrid match in the second leg is very important for both teams, but Kylian Mbappe will likely not play. This is certainly
a problem for PSG, considering that Mbappe's contribution is very large for PSG, even PSG's victory in the first leg was thanks to a single goal from
Mbappe. Although PSG still have many quality forwards like Messi, Neymar and Icardi. But in the Ligue 1 match against Nice a few days ago, not only
did PSG lose to Nice, but PSG was also unable to score a single goal. That's because Mbappe doesn't play, making it difficult for PSG to score goals.
This is not a good situation for PSG, while Real Madrid are in their best form, the previous match was against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid did convincingly
win with a big enough score. Then the second leg match which will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu certainly benefits Real Madrid. Moreover,
Real Madrid is in a position behind on aggregate goals, so surely Real Madrid will try to score goals and win the game. I predict Real Madrid will win
the match in the second leg and qualify for the next round, because I doubt PSG can beat Real Madrid without Mbappe.

Manchester United played very badly in the derby against Man City but I think the UCL game will be different and I believe Ronaldo will play for the game against Atletico Madrid, if Ronaldo does not play then I say it is almost impossible for them to win the game.

Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson really seemed to have lost their true foundation.  The big hopes that MU fans have hoped for this year since the joining of Ronaldo and Ralf Rangnick also didn't have a big effect, the crushing defeat of Manchester City should be an important note to immediately evaluate the squad otherwise ATM will again crush them in the 2nd leg of the champions league.  Ralf Rangnick must immediately find the right formula.  If I had to choose, Ronaldo and Cavani would have to pair up.

Bayern Munich will host Salzburg at the Allianz Arena, and I predict Bayern will beat Salzburg.  In addition to the advantages of playing at home, Bayern are also ahead of Head to Head with Salzburg and also have a good record when playing at home against teams from Austria.  Although Bayern are superior in statistics but they must remain vigilant, the collective play and fighting spirit of the Salzburg players could be able to bring Bayern Munich to their knees at home.
