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

[sayaya17]

That was a great match to watch. After the first half I thought it was over, PSG was better, came 0-1 and they would cross the finish line. but then you always have Benzema, the goal getter. He has done Real Madrid a great service this match. Normally the hero of the French team too, but I don't think the French people would be happy with him tonight. A hat-trick in 20 minutes against PSG with a 0-1 deficit, only the very best can do that. I'm surprised no one wants Benzema, that guy scores anywhere and everywhere just like Lewandosski.

As a neutral supporter, I am very entertained by the Real Madrid vs PSG match, in this match Real Madrid showed as an experienced team,
how they came back in the second half was incredible. Karim Benzema is absolutely amazing, managed to score a hat trick and make Real Madrid
qualify for the next round. I agree Benzema is a great goal machine for Real Madrid, Benzema has always scored important goals for Real Madrid.
Very lucky Real Madrid have a player like Benzema, other players who made a big contribution were Modric and Vinicus Junior, these two players
were quite troublesome for the PSG defense. Of the three strikers played by PSG, I only see Mbappe who works hard. I don't see Neymar or Messi
making a good contribution to PSG, very disappointing performances from Neymar and Messi. Overall Real Madrid really deserved to win and qualify
for the next round. I believe that with PSG being eliminated from the Champions League competition, this makes PSG management disappointed,
because the Champions League trophy is PSG's top priority this season. And the impact may be this season is Pochettino's last season as PSG coach.

Is not Pochetino fault, he did what he could is just football, Paris Saint Germain has lots of opportunities to win the game but were unlucky, Mbappe has two disallowed goals, when Real Madrid made those substitutions I think Paris Saint Germain could not get grip of the game again.those two kid(substitution) won Madrid the game

This has been the case with PSG each time in the Champions League. They often come so close and then, you find them loosing the games that were supposed to push them through to the next phase.
What happened today is one of the least expected. Naturally, one would have hoped for a Rral Madrid 1:1 PSG draw in which case, it would mean Real Madrid's elimination to think of the most, a Real Madrid 2:1 PSG would have been a much more acceptable score to push the game to an extra time and eventually a penalty shootout for a decider. Especially with the fact that, you could tell PSG was in control of the game but instead, PSG lost by 3 goals to 1 in favour of Real Madrid and with it, lost all advantages in the league. Very shocking how it all came came to this!

If the referee had cancelled out Benzema's first goal, then Real Madrid's miraculous comeback might not have taken place. It is perfectly clear that Benzema crashes into the goalkeeper and does not allow him to make a pass, I understand that the referee could not have seen the whole moment, but it is strange that the VAR team did not even call the referee of the match to review the episode himself. Although, of course, Donnarumma himself is very much to blame for starting a demonstration of his technical game near his goal. All this, of course, does not negate the strong character of Real Madrid, the wonderful game of Modric and the even more wonderful game of Benzema.

[D-law]

Name a better midfielder in the game than Luka Modric!
 Perplexed at this because this baller is way passed he's the age and should be set for retirement but,  he balls like a teenager always ready to work as a teen.
Always smart and exceptional in the pitch

[Rengga Jati]

I think almost all of us were surprised to see the final score 3-1 for Real Madrid win at first I thought Madrid would be down when it was 2 goals on aggregate

Really unbelievable and surprising. I am sure that many people are shocked by this result, moreover, those who bet for PSG. And of course, for PSG itself, they have had a higher aggregate moreover in the first half where they could score at first from Mbappe.
And surprisingly, in the second half, Ancelotti really made a brave decision by replacing some key players. And Benzema's hattrick really brings fortune and big win to Real Madrid. Standing applause to him and also Real Madrid, appreciate for all lines of the club.  

I had bet on Real Madrid to win and when I saw result of first half of them losing from PSG, I was thinking that I lost my bet.
Didn't have time to watch this game and I was very surprised to see Real managed to win in the end with 3:1.
This was great night for Benzema who scored all three goals for home team.

It is very normal to feel like this, most maybe also the same with you, feeling give up and despair of the match result during the first half. But, the match was not ended, and the end is a very surprising result. You must smile satisfied once realizing that Real Madrid could turn things around and win  

[gabbie2010]

Pochetino will be sacked at the end of the season, I think the main reason for he's signature has failed.
Messi fans will stop blabbing henceforth, he was absent all through the game, he's presence wasn't felt at all.
A defender I want to appluade is Militao, winning most of his aerial duel's in this game, also he's agression on Paris player's

I never expected Manchester City coming with a final result as this, you see, they casted a lot of bets.
Honestly speaking, this was a top top performance from Santiago bernabue Angel.

It's very obvious Pochetino is tactically poor, he is a only good in domestic league, he may be sacked even before the end of the season, Ancelloti once again proved to be a very good manager, PSG played more like individual stars while relying on Mbappe to counter attack, Messi has no meaningful impact on the game, Nymar Jr. was poor in the match, quite a lot of PSG fans and supporters will be disappointed with this lacklustre performance and defeat, even with huge wage bills earned by those players, they couldn't hold on to two goals advantage, congratulations to Real Madrid for job weldone.

[GiftedMAN]

PSG deserved this loss and to get knocked out. They have been playing so bad in their own league losing to some really weak teams and finally their tactics failed because of the coach that dosent know what to do with so many superstars.

PSG has a good attack, but no good defense...infact very bad defence from what I saw. They were unable to soak up the pressure from Real Madrid and made many blunders that cost them the game. Good thing they lost now, because with that defense, I didn't see PSG having a chance to win this championship, it would be more hurtful later than it is now.

Yes PSG attack was good, especially in the first half of the game but Madrid took over the midfield in the early stages of the second half thereby forcing an unstoppable attack in the defense of PSG, Benzema and Vanicius Jr mesmerized the defence of psg.
Truth be told Madrid was a better team tonight.

that was strange to not count that as a freekick, even with the var technology, it's not that they didn't see it, because we all saw that but they decided to count that goal, it was one of those moments where it's not 100% obvious that it was foul, and it's up to the referee to judge, but it was really critical in the match, it gave Real Madrid more confidence and made PSGs players panic which made them go in defense mode, and that was the mistake they made, they did nothing after the first real madrid goal and things kept getting worse, Congrats to Real madrid and their fans for this beautiful comeback.

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.

Well, at Inter with Arsenal it's a very good game and one that promises a lot, in fact Arsenal beat Watford despite the fact that there was a great goal from the Colombian, however this can play as a point that doesn't favor much, because Arsenal He comes tired and seeing that Inter is a very solid team, they may be saving everything for this game, the Italian league is also very exciting, despite the fact that the first place has about 60 points, I think that Inter will play with everything they has, this is a final for them, surely they will not miss it.

An English final would not be bad to consider that scenario again, for me it is super nice, the English teams demonstrate a tough and solid football.

Today Real Madrid through Benzema did what they wanted with PSG, from the second goal he scored to the third goal only 10 seconds passed, Benzema is definitely at another level.

Wouldn't it be very interesting when you saw the final result PSG lost to Real Madrid?
I'm sure many people are betting on PSG's victory, especially in the first half, they must be very confident in what they will get. Even Messi and all PSG's reliable players could not make a very maximum contribution.
On the other hand, the goddess of fortune is not on PSG's side. haha
I also saw that in the second half, Real Madrid's game was very offensive after the substitution. They really play loose. And the spearhead of Benzema executed goals very well. They were really solid in the game.

I admit that PSG attacker is so good that Mbappe takes offside several times. On PSG defense have something is wrong also, lack of coordination and fighting spirit, maybe Sergio Ramos is absent a player who has understood very well how real Madrid playing. even though they are a dream team, Pochetino didn't take advantage of all of them, seems like all players are strikers didn't have any to take the defense, PSG has a big correction for this time.

[Fesatmas]

Real Madrid again showed how terrible they were in the second leg and now Paris Saint-Germain are victims of Real Madrid's ferocity. Benzema became the actor of victory in this match with a hat trick he created in the 61st, 76th and 78th minutes.
Paris Saint-Germain supporters must have been optimistic to win the game after the first half they could score a goal through Mbappe. But calmly Real Madrid destroyed it.

I see PSG have not mentally formed in the Champions League, they have a list of great players, but that's what the maestro doesn't know what to do with such a luxurious team.
I don't know if this is an exaggeration or not, but I saw today Real Madrid show once again that they are one of the leaders in the Champions League. Their mentality has been formed in this prestigious event.

If I look at it, Real Madrid mentality, both in front, in midfield, and behind, correlate with each other to make PSG's direction of movement more blundering. Trying to tamper with the strategy and the result was Benzema being the most decisive executor to take the action that Ancelotti had planned in round 2. Not a few thought that PSG would be the winner, so the game in the second half of PSG's strategy did not change much.

It's right to say, Benzema a record breaker, goal machine.
Benzema true king of the ground, the man completely annihilated PSG. Messi lost his lofty position too Benzema at the Santiago Bernabéu by his hat-trick. After this phenomenal performance it'll right to say Real Madrid to bring the Champions League to Spain. Football are unbelievable, what a comeback simply love it.

[GxSTxV]

I really couldn't believe what happened and what a come back from real madrid against Paris Saint Germain, i set a bet on real madrid but i wasn't sure about it especially the first minutes of the game where PSG could score forst and also had more chances and played much better, starting from second half we saw a whole other team of real madrid. Benzima alone could flip the table and score 3 goals. I like that dude giving it his best. And saved my money as well  
PSG with all thr star players they have couldn't manage to gain the game. They need to check their cards once again.

[loveurself420]

Impressive mentality by real Madrid team i didn't expect that they will score 3 in 45 minutes specially after the first goal of kylian mbappe.
they had everything to win the match except the defense was catastrophic and and they big mistake by the goalkeeper effected them alot and gave more chances for madrid players to give their best, anyway i feel that Paris saint Germain have not made for champions league Unlike Real Madrid, they give everything in the big events.

From the first Real Madrid was a better team than the others and the proof is that PSG with many star players could not win the match in the second leg so they did not qualify for the next round because Real Madrid were better able to take advantage of the opportunities that existed so they managed to score 3 goals against PSG and the final score became 3 - 1 and the aggregate goal became 3 - 2 and Real Madrid managed to qualify for the next round.

Madrid is like a miracle their experience proves even though they conceded at the start they don't give up they deserve credit even without star players
With this victory Madrid are ready to face Manchester City even become a champion candidate,not to forget Benzema the savior deserves the highest place in Madrid

[CryptocurencyKing]

A great performance indeed from Real Madrid, Casemiro's absence almost cost the team especially in the first half as PSG were completely in control. Kylian Mbappe showed his class and terrorized Real Madrid defense but I felt like he was let down the second half. There was low urgency from them and didn't attach as much as the first half, and they were punished. Great coaching by Ancelotti, took a risk taking off Toni kroos for camavinga who brought balance. He noticed that valverde, Toni Kroos and Luca Modric were so forward minded. Camavinga, young as he is controlled the game, valverde brought the energy and of course Modric became the chief architect. It was a great game, Great teamwork, perfect display–Madrid. PSG have great players but no teamwork.

Yes Karim Benzema has become an influential figure at Real Madrid now and has become like a goalscoring machine for Real Madrid. Despite Real Madrid's unstoppable performance in this match, this team has again proven that they are a team that is difficult to stop when competing in the Champions League. They could catch up and turn things around with a perfect victory.
