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

[AndySt]

ManU playing home which is an advantage for them, CR7 played well in the last game against Spurs and scored a hattrick which boosted their odds. Overall, ManU seems favorite but ATM is a hard team with a horrible strategy when it is applied the Simeone's way. Hopefully ManU could do something good in this match or else their gentlemen fans will be very upset
Chelsea is the only team that will play comfortably this week in CL. Juve and Ajax should not fall at this point

Chelsea are already ahead on aggregate, so it is very comfortable in tomorrow's match, regarding Ajax and Juventus it is possible to win bigger with the advantage as the home as well even though the aggregate is the same as draw, but I'm sure Juventus will win vs Villarreal. Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid, this is a must watch match because Atletico will also fight hard to win this match, it is not easy for Manchester United even though they are superior as the playing at home.

Despite Chelsea's comfortable two-goal advantage, I would still be in no hurry to announce that Chelsea will advance to the next round without any problems. The two-goal advantage in itself is not absolutely unplayable, and the rather nervous situation around Chelsea itself can leave its mark and cause some nervousness among the club's players from London. For Manchester United, Ronaldo's return to the squad after injury is a good factor and his hat trick to Tottenham should be a good indicator of the player's physical condition. As I said before, for me, only the home stadium can serve as a small advantage for MU, but United is not the undisputed favorite of this match.

Still have several match with 50% chance qualify to next stage after first leg result as draw from

1. Juventus vs Villareal
2. Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid
3. Ajax Amsterdam vs Benfica

Without have include with away goal right now not any advantage about team success lead and scored many goal on away match but just waiting with second leg which one team success as the winner. Just have favorite as lead to next stage for Chelsea after first leg success defeated Lille 2-0 and second leg is easy with draw or can win although as away match.

[AakZaki]

With Ronaldo, everything in football is possible. Ronaldo always delivered when the team needs him. He is going to turn up tomorrow against Athletico Madrid. Although, we don't know if he is going to deliver as usual. Ragnick should start Paul Pogba,Bruno Fernandes, elanga if he wants a win. Old Trafford will be shatter if United failed to win their rival. Athletico madrid boss, Simeone is a coach that had so many tactics when it comes to winning a big game. Definitely, he is going to start with his key players like Llorente, felix, Luiz Suarez and Anthonie Grizeman. But only one team will qualify for this round.

In the first leg Ronaldo was guarded so closely, it was because Simeone knew Ronaldo's capacity. In the previous UCL they were thwarted by Ronaldo with Juventus. Even Ronaldo had time to avenge Simeone's celebration in the first leg. Tomorrow maybe that moment will happen again to Simeone, I think Man United are more favourites to qualify for the next round than Atletico. But Man United must also be wary, their weaknesses very visible in the defender position for now.

It's not a big game for chelsea. Thomas Tuchel should even rest players the matchday because I don't see any threat for the game against Lille, after trashing Lille in the first leg 2-0, and which I know that Lille can not do a come-back against the blues. The blues's defense is really difficult to penetrate with a ball. Lille will just played their best, and if care is not taken, they might even lose again to chelsea. Tuchel's tactical strategy will always see the blues off to the next round. Where I know that that the game won't be an easy one is The game between Manchester United and Athletico Madrid.

Will Chelsea be allow to play? Who knows?

Surely you can play, because there is no prohibition against Chelsea not being able to compete in the UEFA Champions League competition.

Ajax Amsterdam and Manchester United will step into the next round.

Manchester United face Atletico Madrid full of motivation at Old Trafford. Because one way to be able to compete again in the UEFA Champions League next season is only to win the UEFA Champions League competition this season considering that the path in the English Premier League is already difficult for them to take.

[darewaller]

Honestly ATM does look like they are doing fine and they have a chance. However, as we have remembered again, it all depends on Ronaldo once again. If Ronaldo decides to win a game, he is capable of winning a game and that will most probably what will happen on this one as well.

Messi just got eliminated from champions league, and Ronaldo is coming off a new hattrick game and I am sure that he will want to succeed to once again show the world that he is a better player than Messi. Will he succeed? I do not know, maybe he will fail, but at the end of the day when Ronaldo is reaching for a goal that harshly, it is not common for him to fail.

not everything is possible
he can have a stroke of genius or give a certain goal ball to a teammate
but it can also do nothing
for sure he is a great professional .. I like this kind of player, because he creates a show

in any case the players play too much, the quality suffers

The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi will never end, as long as they keep playing they will continue to compete so for me it is no longer a rivalry between them but it is about the team itself. Indeed, recently Manchester United seems to have improved again but still, Manchester United is difficult to be consistent and so is Atletico. Whereas before, I was sure Atletico would win but because of the good improvement Manchester United made I considered it a little bit.

Ajax Amsterdam and Manchester United will step into the next round.

I also believe that Ajax Amsterdam and Manchester United will qualify for the next round with a very slim win maybe

Manchester United face Atletico Madrid full of motivation at Old Trafford. Because one way to be able to compete again in the UEFA Champions League next season is only to win the UEFA Champions League competition this season considering that the path in the English Premier League is already difficult for them to take.

Now Manchester United is more focused on the Champions League because in their own league it is no longer possible to catch the points of the temporary standings leader.
So focusing on the Champions League is also a very profitable and good thing for Manchester United this time.

The match between Man United and Atletico Madrid in the 2nd Leg of the Champions League is like a match between 2 teams that are both losing their fangs. Man United and Atletico Madrid were big teams from their respective leagues, but due to their inconsistent form, both had to be thrown off for the title race.

Man United's condition is worse than Atletico Madrid because their chances of getting a place in the Champions League next season are very small (Arsenal and Chelsea have a more promising chance than Man United). So I totally agree with your opinion, the only way for Man United to be able to compete in the Champions League next season is to become champions. Yes, it looks impossible, but they still have a chance to make it happen.

Manchester United are not improving. I have seen their performance in the past. Wins by a huge margin in a match. And gamblers like us have hope. I bet on their match again to favor of united's wins in the next match, and as usual, they lose and I lose money. This has happened to me several times this season. So Manchester United played well in a match I still think they are weak. They are not a stable team yet.

[bering]

Actually Man Utd have good chance to win the match because Atletico situations don't looks good with several players who got injuried and suspension such as Kondogbia and Carrasco but i was worried for Man Utd performance which is unstable during this season but i wish Ronaldo can help the team with scoring goals especially he has good personal records during met Atletico

Ronaldo finally played a good game and managed to score three goals against Tottenham in the last game, but they lost 4: 1 to Citi the week before! It seems to me that they are not a team that can always be counted on, while Atletico has a good series of victories and they seem to be in good shape! I expect a tough match, after the unresolved first match I think something similar can happen tonight, I think even extra time and penalties are possible!
Ajax and Benfica are teams that score and concede goals, so I am playing on goals this game, I think there will be as many as in the first game, if not more! Both teams are in good shape so I expect a spectacle and more than 2 goals in the first half!

I don't think it depends on Ronaldo. Manchester United players have to work together in order to produce a good result against Atletico Madrid. Moreover, United have many talented players, and am quite sure they will be starting the game with their first eleven. Although, this match will be tough. But who ever wins will definitely advance to the next  round of the Champions League. However, the rematch will be played at Old Trafford, and that should boost their morale about winning. Because, it will be embarrassing if United lose in their home.

Honestly, it's a little difficult for me to predict the match between Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid. I see both teams have the same weakness now. Although in the end I still lean towards Manchester United.
When it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe Manchester United will also take advantage of that, yes we know he always has a good record against Atletico Madrid.

I don't really agree that Ronaldo is that important that he alone can decide if he wants his team to advance into the next round or not. He has a deep connection with Manchester United and i would guess that he always wants that club to win, so according to your logic Manchester United should not have lost a single game this year. I think the truth is, that he is just one out of 22 players on the field and therefore he can only do so much to influence the result of the match and he is already 37 years old and his performances are not as constant anymore as they were a few years ago. Yes he is still one of the best players in the world, but games like the last one where he scored 3 goals are an exception nowadays.

[fzkto]

Manchester United's match against Atletico Madrid will be very difficult for both teams. But I think Atletico play a little better, at least at home Manchester did not play well against weaker opponents and only against Tottenham they played with confidence, but barely won. I have a feeling that Atletico will go through to the next round.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Manchester united shoudn't depend totally on Ronaldo or they could easily lose this game. The guys is old for Christ sake and they shouldn't be expecting a master class always from him. Ronaldo has nothing to prove again expect maybe trying to equalized Messi Ballon d'Or wins which is now technically impossible due to the team he's playing at. Manchester united have average players and those you would have considered top class are now average due to the colleagues they play with.

Both games been played tonight are open games, all four teams have the chance to progress, it all boils down to who want it more. If I was to give my predictions I'll go with Ajax and Atletico Madrid. I don't think Manchester united have it in them to progress and even if they were to progress who can they defeat in the next round?.

Sure I think not depending with Cristiano Ronaldo only because have 11 player on the field and keep have good working team than individual skill, I know with last hattrick scored by Cristiano Ronaldo trough defeated Tottenham Hotspur on primer league actually will give bad impact if only depend with Cristiano Ronaldo against Atletico Madrid, should as collective team and give opportunity for player have good position how to score goal on this match. I think if not have working team I think will get opportunity by Atletico Madrid exactly still have chance with first leg just getting draw.

Will Chelsea be allow to play? Who knows?

All champions league matches are delighted to watch and all teams give their best but only the best emerge victorious.
Ajax vs benfica had an interesting first leg which ended in a draw, Benfica equalised twice to draw level and that show how determined they are even though Ajax are the favourites to win.

Manchester United's late equaliser saw them level to secure a draw in the first leg, Man Utd are not in the best form lately but the win over Tottenham hotspur will inspire the team to give their best and progress to the next round. It would be a tough match for the both sides.

Juventus are the favourite to win and progress to the next round, the first leg ended in a draw, Emery's side will give it all they can so it not going to be an easy one for the old lady

Chelsea already got the lead and its a 2 goal lead so it will be difficult for Lille to turn things around and move on to the next round. I think its clear that Chelsea has already won but i believe Lille will try their best to turn things around.
