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

[slaman29]

From a Barca fan: well done Real Madrid. One simply has to take hats off to their rivals when they played like last night.

Just finished watching the extended highlights and it's clear PSG players cannot collect themselves when under panic.

1st goal Donnarumma: what the hell?
2nd goal Neymar: Not first time giving ball away, he always does this
3rd goal Marquinhos: Clear the ball, please?

For some reason it was predictable to me that Real would beat PSG... Benzema showed who's boss on the field! The French certainly have a stars team, but they lack the teamwork and experience in such competitions... No wonder Real lost away and defeated PSG at home!

Many predicted that Real Madrid would win, Madrid is a stronger team. Benzema played excellent, became king of the court and scored a hat trick. Actually, PSG did not play badly, but Real Madrid wanted to win this match more, they played with all their strength on the field. Despite conceding the first goal, they did not give up and managed to win the match

[Alisha-k]

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.

Concerning Liverpool's loss, I feel it was something they allowed because even as they(Inter) scored that goal, it didn't make any difference. But look at the red card given to Sanchez, was he really deserving of it? I saw it as a tackle cause his leg first hit the ball before hitting the Liverpool players leg. All the same, Liverpool ended up qualifying. Well done, Jurgen!!

There has been a lot of talk about kylian mbappe. His fans have referred to him as the heir to the throne. Does he really deserve all the credits he is getting? I have always felt in the past that the talk is a little bit more than the substance itself. And last night I wasn't wrong.

Of course yes! Kylian Mbappe deserves all the appraisals his getting and even more. The truth behind the matter is, he's just one man on the pitch and can't do more than a single guy could do. Unfortunately for him, he's surrounded by all the best players that are good and providing zero team effort. Neymar jnr and Messi aren't very good players when it comes to chasing or marking players over a loosed ball. In fact, you can equate then with the referee. That alone is a minus for the PSG team and the worst part of it is, these are players that can't be scolded or benched.

I was greatly surprised at how the game yesterday turned from a Real Madrid 0:1 PSG win on a 2 goals aggregate advantage to a Real Madrid 3:1 PSG loose and a 3:2  goals aggregate I favour of Real Madrid. After Kylian Mbappe's goal, I never thought Real Madrid still had a chance but, they won this game with there experience in the league. Thanks to Karim Benzema, his the man for Spain!

That's a joke about Messi going to be brilliant but in fact Messi didn't make a good contribution he was getting locked up and depressed with that match, honestly I didn't expect Real Madrid to come back and Benzema was the hero who scored a hat-trick to win Los Blancos progress to the next round.
There is a rumor that PSG's predictor (Nasser Al-Khelaifi) is lashing out at the referee and he is fed up with his squad paying a lot of players but in reality it should be eliminated as well.

If we look at the match we can judge if neymar and mbappe made a big contribution throughout the match, even though they lost but I saw that mbappe and neymar had worked hard enough, while messi I even thought if he didn't play in the match because he didn't look stand out at all, PSG's frail defense made it easy for Benzema to score 3 goals, besides the inclusion of Camavinga made a pretty significant change to Madrid's attack and I think this is what is known as the Ancelloti Experience.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi should be quite angry with the performance of their squad, because the main reason Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spent quite a lot of money so far is to win the Champions League trophy for the first time, but the elimination of PSG in the round of 16 has definitely shattered his dreams and also PSG fans.

Maybe it's also an annoyance with a star player who was brought in but not enough to continue to the last 8 in 16 to be tragically eliminated, Real Madrid was cruel in the first leg giving PSG hope but in the second leg it was a big surprise we saw.
Many tweets of legends of football players appreciating what Benzema did, even at the same time Dani Alves praised him on his Instagram insta story.

You can't blame the strikers for the mistakes of defenders who don't defend well. Strikers only help the defense as much as they can because they are not expected to do so every time the opposing attacker has the ball.

In that match PSG's defense was very bad where 3 goals scored by Benzema were their fault. Donnarumna made a fatal mistake, Marquinhos failed to clear the ball properly and all the drama was only their inability to defend well as Real Madrid started to bounce back after Benzema's first goal. I don't know what to say about the poor performance of the team but honestly they have tried to do it in the best possible way. This defeat was not expected, but Real Madrid played quite well after their first goal.

[D-law]

Kylian Mbappe will be part of this club next season hurting defender's and  clubs with he's magic feet's and pace.
I will love to see him team up with, Benzema, Vinicius and Himself, Rodrigo can come as a back up plan for this team.
Furiously vexed at the defeat yesterday from Neymar to donnaruma and the director.
No biases but Ronaldo won the Champions League at 34 and wants to do it again at 37. Messi fans will goin in their she'll for some time now. Football is the best sports, hate it or love it.

[Magicalking]

I was amazed by Mauricio Pochettino when he was in Spurs, I was in awe of his remarkable achievements. I always imagine what wonders he could achieve with better players. Now here he is with Neymar, Mbappe, Messi, Marco Verratti and he is still not able to convince the world what his level is as a football manager

[fzkto]

Real Madrid are good. Pity PSG didn't make the quarter finals, but Real was better. Manchester City didn't bother against Sporting and decided not to waste any energy. So far in the Champions League everything is going without surprises. I think that the next matches may be unpredictable, in three games there was a draw and it is not known who will be stronger. So far, I have no doubts only about Chelsea.

[CLS63]

The Real Madrid vs PSG game was definitely something special. I got what I expected from this game from the start to the end. Real Madrid started playing just in the way that most people expected. And they had no choice rather than having an attacking football of course. But after PSG scored thanks to Mbappe, I started thinking that this would have been the end of the road for Real Madrid. But the second half was incredible! Real Madrid showed how much experienced team they were in the Champions League. And they made an insane comeback by getting 3-1 ahead. Benzema made a hat-trick in only 17 minutes! Donnarumma and PSG defense's mistakes cost them really high. PSG must be very disappointed about being eliminated like this.

I had already commented on this, that real madrid has something that PSG doesn't have, PSG don't have a good defense and they don't have motivation, Messi and Neymar don't fit in PSG, they seem more like players who are just there to contribute sometimes, it is not normal for the two players to play very well at barcelona but they arrive at PSG and are not playing well, this can only have one explanation: they are not suitable for the france league

Real madrid has a weak point, they have become very dependent on Karin benzema, this is not good because when karin benzema is not playing they do not win games and have difficulties in scoring goals

Maybe you can check again with score rating for PSG defender almost all them have get lower rating score and I think all position need fault are on defender why PSG have loss 3 goal from Karim Benzema, I see from Goalkeeper Donnarumma  make mistake when keep controlling ball on his area and we know with higher pressure by Karim Benzema make him can't take away ball from his area before taking by Rodrygo and given assist for first goal Karim Benzema, I think second and third goal Karim Benzema was created from mistake on defender PSG position player exactly last goal scoring when Marquinhos failed and give good assist for benzema goals.

[swogerino]

What a pathetic team it looked yesterday PSG while it was completely the opposite when playing in Paris as they dominated completely the game and Real Madrid at that game just made one shot on goal.I had a bet on PSG to win the Champions League this year but yesterday they totally deserved to lose.

Manchester City made another upset as a result not being able to score against Sporting Lisbona in their home field,most probably they are looking also to safe guard forces for the title as they are in a fierce battle with Liverpool.They although made many bet losing tickets they got what they wanted,further qualification.

[hollandalibaykus]

Real Madrid played a good game, both teams found many positions, but PSG was the one who made a mistake. In fact, they missed a great opportunity, if PSG had not made simple mistakes after the first goal, they could have been the happy party in this match, but they lost the match due to both the mistakes made by the goalkeeper and the pass mistakes made in the defense

Even many top coaches before him could not show CL success with the conditions that PSG offers. When I see how sporting director Leonardo has reacted yesterday, then the situation in the club does not seem to be very good. This is not an ideal condition to build something. And it also confirms my theory that too many top players in a team lead to vanity. To be successful, you need unpretentious, hard-working players, not fair-weather players who are more concerned about how their hairstyle will go down with the fans than success.

[cryptofrka]

Apparently there was a clash between Neymar and Donnarumma in the PSG locker room after the game. Neymar heavily criticized Donnarumma for the 1st Madrid goal and I have to say I fully understand him.

I felt PSG was really good throughout the whole 1st game and the majority of the 2nd one, but they were so bad in the last 30 minutes yesterday that I have to say that Real are worthy winners.
It is always mind-boggling to see such expensive teams fall apart like this in key moments - PSG is doing this more than others though.

Mbappe  deserves all the praises and even more. He was just one man amongst stars. I was even expecting a strong defense from PSG after the second goal from Benzema but the ended up giving benzema a hat trick. I almost wrote off Real maldrid from the Champions League following their first leg performance but ended up surprising all spectators

This is called magic and luck both sides with Real Madrid when we thought Madrid had no hope of qualifying but the facts are different
PSG is a candidate for champion with PSG eliminated then Madrid take the opportunity I'm sure the opponents are starting to be wary of Madrid even though it wasn't a favorite before , who is Madrid's next opponent?

[emrecemsan]

Real Madrid had their best match ever last night. It was maybe the most critical match for them so far and they made an unbelievable comeback here. It is not easy to score three consecutive goals against a team like PSG in a very crucial match like this one. But PSG's simple mistakes also helped Real Madrid do this. But I can't say that Real Madrid played badly of course. They got so many goal chances thanks to Benzema especially. And he made an unforgettable hat-trick here.

[xzone]

Benzema was the most shining name by scoring 3 goals in yesterday's match. Everyone enjoyed his game, but I think there was one more star in the match, Modric. Even at 36, he scares all defenders and makes great passes. He only had 1 assist yesterday but he could have had many more assists, they missed too many goals. He amazed me with every pass he made.
We watched a match as exciting and good as the final match
