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

[Agathamay]

Inter Milan were on the attacking side through out the night. The ball was a free ball, wasn't in Liverpool possession. Maybe Liverpool was playing for a draw, knowingly they had a 2-0 advantage on aggregate of their first leg win. Inter Milan on the other hand wanted to win but 1-0 win wasn't enough for them to advance. I was impressed with Inter Milan for playing as well as they did with 10men for a third of the game. Liverpool were just lucky, they would have been eliminated if it wasn't for Alexis Sanchez's red card. Alexis Sanchez was unlucky, he really did wanted his team to go through but not to be, they should now fully focus on the Scudetto.

Inter Milan proved many soccer pundits and analysts wrong having been given a very slim chances of defeating Liverpool at Anfield, however much credit should be given to them for playing an attacking football and a brilliant finishing by Martinez who curled the ball pass Alisson lead to their goal, though Liverpool hits the woodwork thrice which could have change the scoreline had they scored those scoring opportunities, however when Sanchez was sent off for a bad tackle, that reduced the chances of Inter scoring their second goal that could have possibly forced the match to extra time, they are quite unlucky.

I Agree with you on this inter Milan really played a good football last night despite not making it to the next stage.
Several pundits, soccer experts and football analysts were disappointed with the outcome of the result because they felt that Liverpool will trash inter Milan at Anfield. From the starting of the game till it ended inter played well and Liverpool did a great job too by defending and attacking really good beause had it been they felt relaxed, they would have been out by now.

Today will be a very tough match for both teams.(Real Madrid - PSG)
PSG won the first game 1-0 but this score may not be enough to take them to the next round. Real Madrid is a very strong team at home.

By the way, this match is the best match of the Champions League.

[abhiseshakana]

Based on domestic league performance most better Real Madrid than PSG because all three match pervious Madrid success win and once time winning and twice loss from  PSG I think bad reputation. But still have bad news for PSG after Mbappe injury and he still on player list bring by PSG to Madrid but not any confirmation will have chance to be line up starting eleven or keep stay on the bench with still injury. I hope can see Real Madrid can qualify to next round and hope could win above two goals tonight and keep scoring as faster for make easy how to make another goal.

If Mbappe is injured but he is still on the list for the second leg, it means the injury is not serious and he still has a chance to play in that match. If PSG played without Mbappe, it could be quite a serious problem and it will affect PSG's offensive line because Mbappe is the best goal scorer that PSG currently has and of course, Mbappe also has his own motivation that makes him play well against Real Madrid.

Despite all that, the match between Real Madrid and PSG is an interesting game like a final match. Of course, it will be more interesting if both teams can play with their best squad. PSG is a strong team with all its star players, but my favorite is still Real Madrid, and I'm sure they will qualify for the next round.

I think anyone not surprised this score, cause everyone knows Bayern Munich.
Bayer Munich is the favorite team of the champions league.

Score is now 7-1

Personally im not surprised i had everything on Bayern Munich . Moneyline,over entire match over first half goals and so on. So im pretty happy how the match ended especially first half. Im more surprised that Inter was able to win against Liverpool but that red card sealed the match

The Bayern Munich team was unbeatable! Liverpool played too confidently and regarded Inter as an average team. Mohamed Salah acknowledged that Liverpool took Inter too lightly. Even with one man down for Inter, they were unable to score. However, Liverpool's performance last night puts them in the quarterfinals.

Bayern Munich evaporated their opponent last night.    I was expecting them to crush Salzburg but this result was more than I expected. A 7-1 win here was really amazing to watch. Lewandowski had a very solid day by making a hat-trick in the first 23 minutes of the game. This was the Bayern Munich that I wanted to see in this game certainly. Salzburg were just desperately trying to do something against this dominance but they couldn't. At least their first leg performance was decent.  

[cryptofrka]

I really cannot understand why did we struggle with Inter so much. We were bad in both games, our counterpressing was nonexistent yesterday and we couldn't calmly keep possession - Inter managed to draw us into their flow yet again.

We still should have scored and probably won - but I really wasn't impressed with our performance. The most important thing is that we got through - that's what great teams do. They still get the job done even when it doesn't go their way.

[rahmad2nd]

today we see two more games...
with real vs. psg a real top match at world class level, where i would trust the french club to reach the 1/4-final.
in the game mancity vs. sporting everything is and should be already clear

I also hope that PSG can reach the quarter-finals tonight and I really hope that Messi, Mbappe and Neymar can make it happen with a few winning goals.

Real Madrid may be known as the king of comeback after losing the first leg, but I don't expect them to be able to do that against PSG tonight. 1-2 is PSG's winning score that I can predict because it's hard to believe Real Madrid can't score at home. Honestly I was expecting it to be the best game in the last 16 because the others seem easy to predict.

Although not easy for Real Madrid come back on second leg after listing at the first leg I think still have chance for Madrid to see qualify on quarter final champion league, still have opportunity with PSG without full team and as important player Mbappe should out from line up team after confirming as injury. I think not give hard working with Real Madrid defender because Mbappe as most active player of first leg and made only one goal for PSG, but still have not final thing with Mbappe still injury or not because he was on PSG player list bring to Madrid tonight.

There are no more problems I think and Mbappe is ready to play, I think only this match for today's match is still uncertain which team will qualify. Because a 1-0 win in the first leg was not enough for PSG to be safe and of course, in this second leg they will continue to play aggressively and it looks like PSG only needs one more goal to be able to play more calmly. But if not, then they will just pass the ball more often, until finally a goalless draw is possible here.

[LGD2Business]

Manchester City will again take a comfortable win and pass the round. The fewer goals Sporting concede, the better. I don't think they will have any other thoughts.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, wants to succeed hard. If Paris Saint-Germain play cautiously, they will pass the round. They don't have to rush, they will find open spaces when Real come over them. If they turn those positions into goals, it may be a more comfortable qualification than expected.

Have they planned for Bayern Munich's appearance in the first leg?  So that the opponent is more motivated when playing in the second leg. But then they destroyed mercilessly with 7 goals they created. Amazing isn't it, I don't think everyone who watched this match expected to score so many goals, because in the first leg they had a bit of trouble scoring.

Many Real Madrid fans still believe they can overcome PSG and go to the next round, but I believe this is unlikely because Real Madrid lacked the necessary team to compete against Paris. But, while I understand that anything can happen in football, I am still not persuaded that PSG will lose tonight, as I anticipated another PSG straight win.

What I always find fascinating about Bayern is that when you think they are weakening, they then put in an absolutely terrific performance. Until before the game, I still thought Bayern wouldn't be one of the teams in the CL this season. But after this performance yesterday, I see them at least in the semifinals, if not in the final.

I don't like to praise any particular team too much though Man City and Real Madrid have advantages. It's so lengthy Madrid fans didn't standing ovation to Messi. I believe this is the best an open door for Messi, if he puts on a masterclass execution. It's time to destroy Santiago Bernabéu once more. The last time he played against Madrid in UCL at Santiago Bernabéu something huge happened.

No matter what happens victory for PSG. Otherwise, PSG must plays with complex and to defend without objectivity to dominate the game on all levels during the match.

Don't you know if history repeats itself, we should still expect more goals from Bayern, when Salzburg played draw with Bayern in the first match make people know that the second match will not be easy. Bayern like to trash some clubs in UCL. Only what I was surprised about was that Inter scored and won Liverpool in their second match, I was expecting Liverpool to at least score a single goal but Liverpool score none, if not for the first match, it would have been tough for Liverpool to qualify for the next round. Inter Milan will now have more focus on Seria A.

I was also surprised that Bayern managed to beat Salzburg in such a convincing way and in addition to that the game was really exciting to watch too. That being said though the final result of 7-1 for Bayern suggests that Salzburg had no chance at all over the entire game but this is not really the truth. The game started with 2 big chances, the first one for Bayern after less than a minute but then Salzburg also had a huge chance to score but Kingsley Coman managed to block the shot literally in the very last second or it would have been the lead for Salzburg and then it would have been a completely different game.
Still a great performance from Bayern overall maybe this was a kind of wake up call for them.

[Dewi Aries]

Shame Inter couldn't score a second goal. But their game still didn't look confident, strange that they could win this match at all, breaking Liverpool's unbeaten streak. Of course the red card probably played a cruel role but Liverpool did not give them an opportunity to strike. On the other hand, Bayern showed what they could do.

Liverpool played defensively in this match. In the first leg we saw Liverpool made a lot of attack. But Liverpool's main goal in this match was to qualify for the next round. And Liverpool did it. Winning or losing here is not a big fact. However, Liverpool has played better than Inter in this match as well. I didn't like their gameplay even after winning Inter Milan.

A result that surprised us a bit Liverpool lost at home but that's not the main point because Liverpool still qualify for the next stage
This is what we talked about before the game started when Liverpool's power was stopped by Inter with all its experience.
On the other hand Munich won big as we expected no wonder if Munich go to the semifinals or even to the final.

Why would you even think so? Munich dominated the group stage and scored 22 goals, this is the highest goals scored throughout the group stage and they have no reason to lose to Salzburg just because they got a draw on the 1st leg. They scored 7 goals on the 2nd leg and at the same time, sending signals to the other teams that they are back on the game

Messi, Neymar, Mbabpe will be ghosts for the Real Madrid camp tonight. the match between psg and real madrid seems to be a fake final that will take place tonight. I'm sure Messi will silence the entire bernabeu stadium tonight. in the history of Messi to be the top scorer against Real Madrid maybe he will score two beautiful goals at the Bernabeu tonight. not sure real madrid will give such a big fight tonight.

[cryptofrka]

Mbappe is playing today (that training injury wasn't serious after all) and Real is still tight-lipped regarding Kroos's availability. Considering that Casemiro is suspended, they will hope to have him alongside Modrić.

If Kroos cannot play, it will probably be a Modrić - Valverde - Camavinga trio - something PSG will look forward to playing against.

PSG are favorites tonight but they have lost 4 out of their 5 away games at the Bernabeu. I will bet on Real going through.

Inter Milan have been better team in both legs but there is no cutting edge or pace in behind the Liverpool line. I think that if inter Milan had proper forwards instead of Lautaro Martinez and Alexis, they probably would’ve scored 2 or 3 at least. Liverpool midfield was non existent and Inter Milan beat their press so easily. Inter players were playing at 100% and were absolutely exhausted physically and mentally. Add to that Alexis Sanchez’s red-card, Brozovic limping, Inzaghi decided to work for the 0-1 win instead. Inter did OK but Liverpool’s CL experience was there for all to see. There is an art to playing below your best and still going through comfortably.
