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

[arallmuus]

Real Madrid will be able to reach the final if Benzema and Vinicius are not injured.

One epic come back from Real Madrid against PSG doesnt mean that they are going to reach the final, there are still some other teams that is going to be quite a hurdle for Real Madrid. They were great last night against PSG but that also means the other teams are going to be much aware of Benzema so probably he wont have the chances to score on the next one

[mv1986]

That was absolutely mental, how PSG was ahead and looking cocky(at least to me) but Benzema managed something absolutely amazing and a result happened which cannot be forgotten for a long time. One of the best highlights of the recent years.

Spectacularity of the game and Benzema aside, Real Madrid did not generally played very good for both of the games. But I don't think PSG played good either. PSG managed to score the goal somehow easily but they couldn't pressure enough throughout the game and they cannot use Messi enough, at least how he supposed to.

I don't see Real's future in CL so good. There are surely better teams and they will give Real a hell of a challenge.

Why was PSG looking cocky? I thought they were playing another amazingly solid game until Donnaruma gave it away. I wouldn't say that PSG looked cocky, sure the play by the goalie did, but in general PSG played solid. On top of that there was this crazy close offside goal by Mbappe. In the end it was Donnaruma who really made the whole team take a hit with his mistake.

What I do agree with though is how PSG gave it away after the equalizer was just ridiculous. That should never happen to a world class team. Sadly we won't see Mbappe play this CL season anymore. That dude is an absolute rocket.

PSG must be devastated after this unbelievable score they got yesterday. I really don't have any idea how they managed to hand the quarter-finals ticket to Real Madrid this much easily. PSG got even ahead by 1-0 and I was like that must have been it for them. But the game was starting just new then. PSG made very simple mistakes and Real Madrid made use of this chance in the best way possible too. Benzema especially was just incredible. This guy is the most important player for the team undoubtedly. And the admiration level to him has increased even more after this performance by a hat-trick.

This is indeed a heavy blow for PSG to start the UCL having to accept failure where their club is filled with extraordinary players. Inevitably the failure to enter the quarter-finals makes PSG have no other reason. As we expected, Mbappe also seems to have chosen a new club. If it is true that PSG must reduce players who in fact are all among the highest-paid players. The tickets that Madrid gets will be very motivating that they can now be one step ahead of PSG.

With the defeat in this match, we realized again that there are a lot of problems inside the PSG team. And performing well on platforms like the Champions League without solving their own problems is like a daydream. Coach Poch needed to be fired earlier. PSG might not have lost so badly if they had been sacked their coach earlier. However, hopefully PSG will return in a stronger form next season.

With each season, the PSG = P$G formula becomes more and more true. They spend astronomical money only to crash in the first serious match where they need to show character. This happens almost every season (only the Champions League covid season was more or less successful for them).
Mbappe is leaving, Messi is getting old, Pochettino will definitely be sacked - I don't know what the PSG management will do to make the club stronger next season or at least not experience a dip in results.

[borovichok]

After PSG lost pretty badly now there is a lot of news that is not very comfortable for them such as Mbappe has definitely left there, Poche's sacking and Donaruma's clash with Neymar after they were eliminated.
There was a lot of speculation that arose after the club, which was predicted to be the champion, was eliminated with a score that was quite embarrassing.

I see the main problem in a team that has a lot of world-class star players like PSG is the coach.  I don't think Mauricio Pochettino is suitable for a team like PSG.  PSG is a rich team that always sets high targets in every tournament.  Club owners must immediately take action to find an experienced coach like Zinedine Zidane to take charge of the club from the city of Paris.

I agree with you that they need a coach like zinidine Zidane as there new manager,those are the caliber of coaches they need, pep guadiola Klopp Conte allegri and simeone can do the magic for them not a coach like Mauricio Pochetino that could not win anything at Tottenham Hotspur and could not even win the league 1 title last season and might lose out this season too.

[SirLancelot]

I was not expecting Real Madrid to qualify by winning PSG, from 0 - 2 goals down to 3 - 2, I even thought PSG may go to final and may have more chance to win but I was very wrong.

That is why football is the most unpredictable sport among all sport competitions. You can get heartbreak at the dying minute. PSG was the favorite going into that game but it was never to be. They very played well in the first half but the second half exposed their lack of coordination and discipline.

Benzema was more than the man of the match. We can call him Doctor of the match because he lifted up more downcasted hearts yesterday and shattered that of those who believe that Messi is a god. I like how the match ended. It was value for time spent watching it. We all have to begin to see that Messi and Ronaldo have both gone past their prime and let them rest. Age is no longer on their side.

That's the difference between being a team, and being talented. Like PSG was just a team of talented people thrown together and asked to play together, which never resulted with a good chemistry and they were never really good.

However, at the end of the day Real is a team, they have so many players who have been playing together for so long and they know each other and they know how to play together as well. That was the result that got Real the scores and that is why they are going to the next stage. They are not the club with the most championship trophies for no reason, they know how to play and it is in their DNA, most of their players actually have like what 3-4 UCL cups? Maybe even more who knows. That experience during those stages matter a lot.

The only trophy PSG had any hopes of winning is the french Ligue 1 as they have been knocked out of the champions league. Mauricio Pochettino career in PSG is over, the club will looking to hire another manager after the devastating loss to Real Madrid. Pochettino have himself to blame. He has all the arsenal he needs to win

With each season, the PSG = P$G formula becomes more and more true. They spend astronomical money only to crash in the first serious match where they need to show character. This happens almost every season (only the Champions League covid season was more or less successful for them).
Mbappe is leaving, Messi is getting old, Pochettino will definitely be sacked - I don't know what the PSG management will do to make the club stronger next season or at least not experience a dip in results.

Maybe it time for the whole management of PSG (including the sheikh who gives them all the money) to slowly realize that money does not automatically give you the big titles in european football. They have a great team no doubt, but i think it is wrong of the management to demand that the team must win the Champions League title before each and every season, that puts a huge amount of pressure onto the players and once an unexpected setback happens like that big mistake by Donnarumma yesterday then the whole team suddenly is starting to get nervous again because they know what huge expectations the management always have.

[Ratash]

Never say never, this magic always happens in the champions League,you don't have to play with your chances in the champions League because the next minute will cost you,it happens in 2006 when AC Milan wss winning Liverpool 3-0 in the final then suddenly Liverpool equalise all the goals and win AC Milan in the penalties shootout.even when Paris Saint Germain won Barca first leg 4-1 then second leg Barcelona won 6-1 or so this is the mystery of the champions League.

Yeah sometimes there are some magical moments in football like this and thats why we love to watch it you can't predict the outcome some times in my opinion barcelona comeback was the most epic after losing the first leg 4 0 they manage to make a comeback by scoring three goals in the last 15 minutes against a team playing defense and of the caliber of psg.

What investments, such expectations. If the players agree to receive a lot of money and come to Paris Saint-Germain, then why shouldn't the club's management not just expect, but demand the maximum result from them? Therefore, if the players' nerves are not right, then I think that then they should look for another club that pays less, but also has smaller ambitions. And I don't believe that players like Neymar, Messi and even Donnarumma, despite their youth, with their experience of victories, have psychological problems because of the burden of responsibility. By the way, with Donnarumma, this has happened before, just the opposite due to too much self-confidence.

PSG have really disappointed in the last two matches, in Ligue 1 PSG lost against Nice. After that, it was very dramatic to lose to Real Madrid
in the second leg of the Champions League and finally made PSG eliminated. Of course the highlight of PSG's failure in the Champions League is
Mauricio Pochettino, According to rumors, Nasser Al-Khelaifi was furious after PSG lost to Real Madrid. The PSG president was very dissatisfied
with Pochettino's strategy, and it is reported that Nasser Al-Khelaifi will sack Pochettino at the end of this season. Even though Pochettino's contract
still exists until June 2023, so it doesn't affect PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season doesn't seem to change the fate of Pochettino who will soon
be sacked. It seems that the strongest candidate to become PSG coach to replace Pochettino is Zinedine Zidane.

True, we cannot be 100% correct in predicting football matches. Even if it brings together two teams that differ greatly in quality. Because every game there are always surprises that are created and that makes us interested in following the game. Moreover, speaking of the Champions League which is now the center of attention, those who play are certainly more motivated to win.

maybe, I personally see the possibility in terms of the tenacity of each player in the match, the optimism is that they can equalize and even steal the score in the last minute, usually the superior player feels he is safe, the fact is that the opposing team builds a strategy by enjoying the road the match from the first leg to the end. Team cohesiveness and direction that has been structured and can read the moment, there is an opportunity together with the readiness they arrange, for a league I think this is a prestigious event, how euphoric it feels, a prestigious team duel for a achievement. all teams certainly do not want to disappoint the support of both sponsors, fans and a popularity.

We should be aware of this especially against experienced teams in the Champions League we know Madrid dominate the UCL every season it's just that this season is a bit different because without big players that's why some people have doubts. It will be interesting to see who Madrid next opponent will be, is it Manchester City?
Premier League leaves 3 representatives there is a potential winner this season from the EPL.

Primer league team always dominance on champion league and looks have possibility with three team will pass to quarter final and two team Liverpool, Manchester City have close position to next stage. Still waiting in this week with Chelsea have good chance after get 2-0 on first leg and looks not sure with Manchester United can allowing with Liverpool and Manchester City for going on to quarter final? By the way quarter final later will drawing again because I want to see Real Madrid could against with easy team maybe and not ready for against with Manchester City.

I see Chelsea for sure have a place in the quarter-finals, but if you look at Manchester United I seem a little hesitant even though I expect them to be able to follow in the footsteps of the other 2 teams who have qualified. Compared to the 3 matches that will be run, Chelsea is the most likely to qualify, considering the other 3 matches got a draw in the first leg.

After all, UCL is a dream for all players so they certainly don't want to disappoint anyone but in a match there will always be winners and losers. In fact, sometimes the dark horse teams can show a surprise in every match, this proves how motivated they are despite the fact that the dark horse team only gets lower pay. But even so, the final match will always bring together the favorite teams which of course every match in the UCL, is always an interesting big match to look forward to.

[watergold]

Juventus must try hard to qualify from the last 16 and represent Serie A in the quarter-finals. Yes, now they are the only team left from Italy after Inter Milan had to be forced to lift their suitcase from the Champions League following their defeat to English representatives, Liverpool.
I see Juventus' chances of winning are more open than Villarreal, I hope this team can really win the match in the second leg later.

[TopT3ns]

Still have 4 team left on middle week match and see who qualify to next stage on several match from
1.  Juventus vs Villareal first leg score 1-1
2.  Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid 1-1
3.  Ajax vs Benfica 2-2
4.  Lille vs Chelsea 0-2.

Lets predicting which one 4 team left will qualify to quarter final and exactly Chelsea as first favorite team because first leg have two goal winning and draw only or loss under 2 goal still guarantee to next stage. left 4 team before have success lead quarter final are

1. Liverpool
2. Manchester City
3. Real Madrid
4. Bayern Munich.
