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

Honestly I had my doubts about PSG today even though they are full of stars beating Madrid at home is not easy moreover the goal difference is only one anything can happen. PSG  target today is just a draw to ensure qualification while Madrid need to win at least 2 goals surely Madrid is more motivated.

I dont think PSG will be relying or targeting on a draw only as it can be something really bad.
If they want to go further, they should try their best to beat Real Madrid again.
The goal difference is not safe enough to make them try to get a draw only as Real Madrid will do everything they can to win the game.

I mean it's the minimum target because it's definitely not easy to beat Madrid with all the experience and support Madrid could have caught on fire moreover this is the last chance in such a situation PSG cannot count on a star player therefore a draw is good enough for PSG. So far I can't predict how this match will go each team has its own advantages.

[Ebede]

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.

Yes Real Madrid is a good team especially when they play in front of their fans, the pride and beautiful atmosphere of their stadium will give them the motivation to win. Secondly, Madrid team and her players are well experienced in the Champions League.

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

Indeed the match is going to be the best and the strongest game in the Champions League so far because the two teams are in very good form and they are also topping their league so I expect the match to be nothing but the best among the rest.

[terrorJR]

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.

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.

Whether Real Madrid qualifies or not will depend on how prepared they are for the game. They may have an advantage owing that the fact that PSG have not really been in form. A run of two losses from their last three league matches just isn’t good enough and their stuttering form is something that will help Real Madrid. While Real Madrid is currently on an impressive run, having won each of their last three matches in La Liga. Also Carlos Ancelotti need to change his tactics for them to stand any chance of qualifying ahead of their opponents, because Real Madrid were very defensive in the first leg, they barely attacked and allowed PSG to have all the ball.  They need to push out more than they did in the first leg.

On the other hand, this is also the mentality that speaks, are they ready to face the pressure because it is certain that the pressure and intensity in this match will also be very large which makes it down slowly if the mentality of the players is not strong.
Now it's just a matter of waiting which team will be strong and survive because when you look at the players and the name of the club, everything is strong depending on their actions on the field later.

To be honest I don't think PSG is one of the teams with the best defense so far. In the league they have conceded 24 goals from 27 matches which means they are almost conceding 1 goal per game. A draw and focusing on defense may not be the best option for them today vs Real Madrid. PSG have to perform better than the first leg and they have to have good finishing stats compared to the first leg.

I don't want Pochettino to adopt a defensive strategy against Real Madrid because if he does then I'm sure Real Madrid will score and qualify for the quarter-finals. PSG must fight hard to score away goals to reduce Real Madrid's chances because Real Madrid will definitely be eyeing a quick goal today.

[Majestic-milf]

I believe the players of Red Bull Salzburg have already done their best even though they were thrashed by the scoreline of 7-1 by Bayern Munich yesterday, it was always not an easy task for any teams to beat Bayern Munich at the stadium of Allianz Arena. Manchester City had already scored 5 goals against Sporting Lisbon at the first leg between these two teams, I guess Manchester City will be able to beat Sporting Lisbon again today but this will be a low scoring match at the final whistle.

Lolz, sporting Lisbon will need all the help they can get today because I don't see anyway they can get out of the predicament they've found themselves in the form of Man City. I think they would have had a fighting chance had they been pitted against a less dominant club, Salzburg had no where to hide with those seven blocks of stone raining on them.. I hope Sporting do something, who knows they could have a chance 😏😏

I believe the players of Red Bull Salzburg have already done their best even though they were thrashed by the scoreline of 7-1

This is totally unacceptable the RB Salzburg players did not play like a team in the champions league,  how can we talk about a team that conceded 3goals within 25minutes as a team that did their best?
They conceded two penalties that were worth it and they could not walk on their defence even after losing 4:0 in the first half. As long as am concerned, they played nothing.

It's not easy playing Bayern, though. And if Bayern are playing well, most teams don't have a chance. I don't think we can blame RB Salzburg much here, Bayern are one of the very best teams in the world. A couple of early goals, and Bayern start to get even better, whilst the losing team finds their morale sapped even further.

I think RB do play like a team who are in the Champions League - it's just that they're one of the worst teams left in it, whilst Bayern are one of the best.

[beerlover]

To be honest Bayern was expected to be this good. I wouldn't be able to say they had a chance to lose this game out neither. However, anything could happen in the football world. Like I had 0% confidence that Inter could win. I wagered big time on Liverpool to win, and somehow Liverpool lost that game against Inter.

But, at the very least, the difference between Liverpool and Inter is closer than the difference between Bayern and Salzburg. All in all that should not be something that shocks us, we are talking about Bayern here. They are the team that dominates Bundesliga and there is nothing shocking about them dominating a game. Maybe 7 goals was a bit a much, but sometimes you are just on a roll and end up scoring a lot.

fortunately this season there is no longer a home and away goal advantage, all are calculated from the total goals scored. Real Madrid are only 1 goal behind and if they can lead by 1 goal then this match will be continued in extra time and in my opinion a 1 goal advantage is not an excessive advantage for PSG, in fact now they are under pressure because they are playing at home to Real Madrid.
the possibility of both teams both playing openly and attacking each other with the composition of the players of these two teams I think there will be many goals created in this match when they both play attacking.
in UCL matches, the tension in the match is much higher than playing in the domestic league and when both teams are inhabited by star players, here I see who will qualify for the next round not only by using the star players in their respective teams but the mentality of the team is very influential to win this match.
This is a very difficult match because the chances of both teams are still 50-50.

[Iranus]

I was at the LFC vs Inter game last night, very frustrating game. We hit the woodwork three times, it just wouldn’t go in. Thought we didn’t really have to get out of 3rd gear, it was a great goal by Inter but apart from the goal they created very little. We won’t get away with playing like that against a better team. Oh well, if you’re going to lose a game let it be 1-0 when you won the 1st leg 2-0. Moving on, let’s see who we get in the 1/4 final.

Well, I was not at the stadium but I did watch it on the tv. That was one of the unluckiest matches of Liverpool I have ever seen. Three times denied by the post. And also the free-kick from Alexander-Arnold seemed to be unlucky because the curl on the ball was just a little too much.

I think the goal that was scored by Lautaro Martinez shouldn't have been a goal because he was supposed to be closed down quite earlier by the defense in my opinion. Before that, I think he had one more chance to score but he shot the ball wide of the target. That was the same case where he could have been closed down but he was not.

So far I can't predict how this match will go each team has its own advantages.

In the first leg we saw the gameplay of Real Madrid. They played very defensively. There was no tendency among them to do attack. They only had to resist the PSG's attack. Yet unfortunately they lost the match. PSG will play similar tactics in today's match. They will play defensively and try to draw the match. But Real Madrid will have to play attacking if they want to qualify for the next round.

Will continue bad performance and defender position from PSG player at domestic league have the same thing on champion league against Real Madrid several hours later? Real Madrid should learn from Nice last match can winning from PSG although one goal scored only but they have potential and know which one position side have weakness from PSG. I think one goal on 1st leg need for Real Madrid make two goal tonight but have to score on on first half and will difficult for scoring goal on second half. learning with situation last match when Inter Milan have out from champion league although second leg success defeated Liverpool 1-0 but scored on second half and few minutes before game ended.

Ligue 1 and Champions League matches are not the same for PSG. PSG has always focused on Champions League matches. And PSG's past matches in the Champions League have been very good. So even if they lose a game against NIce, they will not have the same performance in a Champions League match. And I believe PSG will play to win today's match. But at home Real Madrid is always strong. It is definitely a difficult match for PSG.

PSG concedes a lot of goals in the league because they are focused on scoring as many goals as possible, they have a lot of good strikers who want to show themselves. In the playoffs of the Champions League, they will play much more accurately in defense. I think that today both teams will score goals, it will make it very difficult for Real Madrid, and they will need to score even more, which will mean that PSG can catch them on the counter. It will be a very difficult match for Real Madrid today.

[Marykeller]

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.

I feel bad for Inter. This could have been their night if the ref had thought twice about that second yellow given to Sanchez.
Inter is a little bit unlucky against Liverpool. It would have been a different story had it been they converted those chances that found the crossbar.
Kudos to Inter who made it a very strange night yesterday
Not a classic Liverpool performance at all but it's a job well done(2-1 aggregate) and that is all that mattered for Liverpool

[mia_houston]

Indeed the match is going to be the best and the strongest game in the Champions League so far because the two teams are in very good form and they are also topping their league so I expect the match to be nothing but the best among the rest.

The second leg match between Real Madrid vs PSG was a life-and-death match for both teams, although PSG had the advantage of victory 1-0 in the first leg but it didn't make their position safe for now, in my opinion, the two teams today will exert their abilities to each other attacking and defending each other as best as possible, because if there is a small mistake made by a player in the game later, of course it will be taken advantage of by opposing players to scoring goals, PSG, who is superior on aggregate, of course will not try to survive in the match later because obviously it is very risky if they give the opportunity for Madrid to attack freely.

Real Madrid VS  PSG

Ramos will miss the PSG vs Real Madrid match today. I really wanted to see how Ramos performed against Real Madrid. But in neither of the two matches did we see Ramos. And so far this season Ramos has not played well in any match. Ramos has played in just four matches in PSG's jerseys this season.
Mbappe was injured, but it is certain he will perform in this match. If the Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio play well, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win. But not impossible. Because Real Madrid's defense is strong enough.

Well, Real Madrid is a team that in La Liga has managed to win games but has sometimes lost points against smaller opponents. in a way this is a red flag, but on the other side we have PSG that does the same thing that real madrid does, PSG has also lost against weak opponents, that's why today's game is very unpredictable and in my opinion it won't be a game with many goals, real madrid will focus on attack to recover from the disadvantage and if they score 1 goal they will start to focus more on defense and little on attack and PSG is a team that has had problems in to score goals and sometimes the defense becomes very bad

Real Madrid VS  PSG

Ramos will miss the PSG vs Real Madrid match today. I really wanted to see how Ramos performed against Real Madrid. But in neither of the two matches did we see Ramos. And so far this season Ramos has not played well in any match. Ramos has played in just four matches in PSG's jerseys this season.
Mbappe was injured, but it is certain he will perform in this match. If the Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio play well, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win. But not impossible. Because Real Madrid's defense is strong enough.

It is time for PSG to start playing seriously, they can't allow making mistakes like in some games this season! In the first game they showed that they can beat Real and I think they can do it tonight, they just have a strong team, and maybe it's time for PSG to take the Champions League title!

Very good odds for PSG to win, good odds on draw no bet too, as a security measure! I will try it tonight, I support PSG against Real and I believe I can win this bet! Probably not bad to try this game on both teams to score, both teams have players who score goals, the only question is whether and how much they will work tonight, and I believe they will! Open play, Real need goals and if they score in early minutes PSG will have to respond on that!

Today match between real madrid vs psg will be an interesting one which it is so hard to give a clear prediction who the game will be in favour of, but from the last match the both team performance was great, they both both had tough attack on each other but the game favoured psg more, today am looking on to know who the winner will be.

I would say that PSG can only win if the defenders of PSG are able to play well today. Because since PSG has won in the first leg and is ahead. So in today's match Real Madrid has no choice but to win. Real Madrid must win today and for that they will attack a lot today. If PSG's defenders can play well today and resist the attack of Real Madrid, then PSG will be able to qualify for the next round.
