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

[kro55]

If Ronaldo stays in form and plays well, he can lead Manchester United to victory. He has played in La Liga for a long time, and he knows the style of play of Atletico Madrid. I expect a good performance from Ronaldo in this match. At the same time, if Pogba and Sancho play well, they will be able to score several goals in today's match.

For me, Manchester United's victory does not look so obvious, because the success of the team depends very much on the mood of Ronaldo. Atletico in recent matches come to their senses, although their defense is still not perfect, and most likely they will also concede a goal in this match. But I think that Manchester United won't be able to win this match, so Atletico with a +1 goal handicap looks good, but the odds are small 1.4

Manchester United will definitely be on high spirit against ATM and they will be banking on their super star player in the person of Ronaldo to deliver as he always does in UEFA competition. The loophole for United as always will be the defense and Midfield but most especially the defense. ATM will hope capitalize on any mistakes Maguire would likely make.

Manchester United's defenders performed well in the first leg. However, the performance of the forward players Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho was not good. If you want to win this match, you will definitely need a good performance from the striker. If they can play well then Manchester United's victory is certain.

Ronaldo will repeat what he did in the last game he has scored a total of 12 goals in the 2021-2022 premiere league and scored a total of 6 goals in the UEFA champions league, he will definitely score more goals in today's game against Atletico Madrid to bring home more points for Manchester United. There is a high possibility that Manchester United winning the trophy this season.

Atletico have a better consistency in the last 4 La Liga matches. Meanwhile, MU is still having trouble winning. MU is not only Ronaldo, if the other 10 players can't play optimally, Ronaldo will not do anything. But, sometimes statistics don't guarantee the final result either. If in this match it is Atletico are can't play consistent again, then MU can beat at least by a score of 1-0.

You are right. Atletico Madrid is a stable team. But I don't think the Manchester United team is consistent. The 3-2 win over Tottenham has impressed everyone. So everyone is expecting Manchester United to win against Atletico Madrid. But they were able to beat Tottenham only because of Ronaldo's hat trick. Manchester United can't win today's match if Ronaldo doesn't play well.

Today Ajax plays with Benfica, where the game is totally open, and any team can go ahead, after the result of the first leg was tied 2-2.

I think Ajax are in a better position to move forward, as they have shown greater consistency. Benfica, on the other hand, are very fickle in their championship and have had difficulty winning even the smallest teams.

But we know that in Champions League games, players usually have a more positive attitude. So I think it will be a good game. Perhaps the end result will be 2-1, winning Ajax.

A very controversial game in my opinion. On the one hand, Benfica performs well in the Champions League and knocked out Barcelona, in the first leg by beating 3-0 and drawing in the second leg.
But Ajax are even brighter and the draw in the first game is seen more as an accident than a real achievement from Benfica. Therefore, bookmakers quote Ajax as the obvious favorite:

‍1,33 - 6,00 - 8,20

The question is whether it is worth betting on Ajax, given that the profit will be very small. While a bet on Benfica will bring 700% profit if successful.

There are many other teams that are better than Manchester United in the UCL, I am really surprised by those who say Manchester United will get the UCL trophy this season. Because even so, they really can't be seen as the best team this season with their very unstable performance. Regarding today's match for the 2nd leg against Atletico, I personally still hope that Atletico will win today's match. I don't care that this match will be played at Old Trafford, because previously Manchester United could still be held to a draw by a lower-ranked team in the EPL and that was Watford.

[Minecache]

So, because Messi couldn't make it to the finish line of the champions league, it has made him become less of a man while Ronaldo remains greatest   Don't be surprised if Manchester gets eliminated by Atletico today, Ronaldo was privileged in their visit to Metropolitano and it was a shame to draw with them, to even say they Atletico scored in less than 7 minutes of the march until Man United struggle to equalize in 79 minutes. It shows that Atletico is prepared and are ready for Manchester United.

I honestly I don't think Ronaldo and Messi, especially Messi has anything to prove again in football. Ronaldo always trying to prove a point is understandable because that's his nature. He loves to compete, he want to be respected as the greatest football football player of all time but to be frank? He has surpassed expectations and even if he doesn't qualify, it won't change anything but again, it's Ronaldo! He love the Uefa champion league stage a lot and as for Athletico Madrid, they looked like a team that's having a major crisis. I doubt if they can withstand Manchester United at moment.

I think the only thing that Messi might need to prove is that he has a World cup. But like all the great who ever lived, Messi will also have the black mark of the Moon, the only thing which will be incomplete, a little crack in the armor.

It does look like Messi is not going to be able to win the World cup. But, even then he doesn't have anything to prove to anyone. He is the best in the world and when we talk about the best in the world Ronaldo also comes to mind inevitably.

I actually want Cristiano Ronaldo to do very well in the match against Atletico Madrid and I don't care if Manchester United loses the match.

[indah rezqi]

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.

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.

Regarding conditions, I agree with you that Atletico Madrid in La Liga is slightly better than Manchester United in the English Premier League. Atletico Madrid's chance to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season can still be through the La Liga route rather than Manchester United in the English Premier League. I can say, the big teams on average experienced less good things in the 21/22 season. Not just Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

I wouldn't assume Manchester United are through to today's quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid but obviously both teams will have equal chances of getting 1 quarter-final ticket.

For me, it's hard to believe that there are 4 EPL teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals this season after Manchester City and Liverpool first made sure of themselves. Chelsea are more likely to qualify, but Manchester United are doubtful even though Ronaldo is in good form at the moment. I think Atletico Madrid and Ajax will qualify today.

The question is whether it is worth betting on Ajax, given that the profit will be very small. While a bet on Benfica will bring 700% profit if successful.

I am also going to support Ajax because I think they are a better team than Benfica. And if Benfica had some advantage from the first leg I might have chosen otherwise but 8 as the first leg ended in 2-2, I think ajax will give it their best to win the second leg. And I think Benfica will be the one to play more carefully and defensively.

[minairia3]

Man United is indeed more favored than Atletico, because the match will be held at Old Trafford, besides that, Man United players are on fire after
winning drastically from Tottenham in the Premier League. This will make Man United players more motivated to continue positive results against
Atletico. Especially Ronaldo who managed to become a hero when Man United beat Tottenham by scoring a hat trick. Ronaldo will get a very heavy
burden, because Man United supporters want Ronaldo to make the same contribution against Atletico. I don't think Man United fans have high hopes
for Ronaldo, because Ronaldo doesn't always play well in every game.

So if Man United wants to beat Atletico, Man United must play solidly between players and the cooperation of Man United players must be
improved again. Because to achieve victory in the game of football can not only rely on individual abilities, must create a solid cooperation
between teammates. Hopefully Man United can show solid teamwork when facing Atletico. Moreover, Atletico lost a lot of their players due to injury,
this should be good news for Man United, so Man United should be able to beat Atletico in this second leg.

I really don't think that home and away conditions are going to make much of a difference at the moment. But the injuries can definitely play an important role in this match.
Atletico Madrid is playing well, Manchester United is still not consistent but they have won their last match because Ronaldo scored a hattrick and carried them to victory.

But against Atletico Madrid, I don't think the performance from only one man is not going to be enough and they will need to improve their team play.

Manchester United will receive very good support from the fans at home, and this will definitely be an advantage. But Atletico are an experienced club and they know how to play in any stadium under pressure. Ronaldo is a trump card, it's hard to argue with that, but one Ronaldo against Atletico will not be enough, especially if Simeone can close it with defense players. There is a feeling that penalty shoot-out are possible here.

Another day of amazement in the champions league, where Ajax will host Benfica at the Johan Cruyff Arena Amsterdam stadium. Ajax tied a draw in the first leg against Benfica with a 2-2 draw. Ajax team are already prepared to eliminate their rival Benfica. Only what Benfica will do is to apply a defensive and counter-attack in the game, whereas Ajax will put in more efforts and make sure they have goal scoring chances, which I know that they would make good use of it. The Ajax team are quite in a better form to win Benfica after their 1-6 away win in their league game.

In the previous match, Benfica was a bit lucky, Ajax played much better. But the score ended in a draw. In this match, Ajax will play at home and get a win in front of their spectators. In this match, he must win and go to the next round. I think it is both a stronger team than its opponent and has more chances.
It will be a good match, I recommend everyone to watch it

[dwminer1]

In the Ajax - Benfica match I bet over 2.5 goals. Both teams are trying to play offensive football and usually many goals are scored in their matches. We witnessed it already in the first match, which ended with a result of 2-2, and there was no shortage of opportunities to score more goals.

But Ronaldo has thwarted Atletico several times when he was at Real Madrid even I saw Diego Simeone's words "if there was no ronaldo maybe I would have champion" with those words whether Ronaldo will beat Atletico Madrid again but currently at Manchester united ?
I believe he is a great player to be the only lethal striker.

As hosts at Old Trafford I have bet 2.15 on Man United, of course they have full support at home.

Yes over 2.5 goals but odds are too low @1.37 not worth the risk ideally over 3.5 odds @1.92 except for parlay bets over 2.5 is pretty good
Ajax is known to be aggressive in scoring especially when playing at home while Benfica are inconsistent sometimes don't score at all
I will consider over/under or go on Both teams to score.

You are right. Atletico Madrid is a stable team. But I don't think the Manchester United team is consistent. The 3-2 win over Tottenham has impressed everyone. So everyone is expecting Manchester United to win against Atletico Madrid. But they were able to beat Tottenham only because of Ronaldo's hat trick. Manchester United can't win today's match if Ronaldo doesn't play well.

Rangnick had a difficult task as Ronaldo had to come on from the first half and put as much pressure on him as possible. Ronaldo still has quality in the supply of ball bait. That's why Ronaldo is expected to be able to lead his players to work more together. Bruno is not very potential if his ego is still out of control. Yesterday's match against Tottenham was still not enough to think it could be easy against Atletico because it was clear that Atletico would prepare a strategy that was difficult to break. Now only Manchester United players need consistency in defense and attack.

Difficult choose to predict which one will lead to next stage between Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid tonight because first leg without any winning team. I don't see expectation with Manchester United as favorite for winning although play on home and have fans support because many time played on Old Trafford Manchester United always defeated by against team. I think Atletico Madrid want to qualify next stage and both team have good chance each other for qualifying next round on champion league.

[BALIK]

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

Maybe now they are a little more confident because Ronaldo's performance is still good and indeed this can be used as their main weapon. But indeed, on the other hand, this is still quite risky due to the performance of their defenders, especially the captain, who should be an example but instead plays badly.
They must immediately solve the problem at the back if they really want to advance to the next round

Ronaldo's performance against Tottenham has seen him return to form. And if Ronaldo is able to show such a performance against Atletico Madrid, then Atletico's defenders are not able to hold Ronaldo. Another advantage for Manchester United is that Atletico Madrid's defense is weak. So in this match, I will keep my money for Manchester United's favor.

If Ronaldo stays in form and plays well, he can lead Manchester United to victory. He has played in La Liga for a long time, and he knows the style of play of Atletico Madrid. I expect a good performance from Ronaldo in this match. At the same time, if Pogba and Sancho play well, they will be able to score several goals in today's match.

Manchester United is not only about Ronaldo, but it is undeniable that Ronaldo is a great striker. Even though he is no longer young, Ronaldo still has a good instinct for scoring goals. If Ronaldo is in good shape, then Man United has a good chance to beat Atletico Madrid, as long as Man United's defense can also play well.

In this match, Man United has the advantage because they are playing at home. If they can play as they did against Tottenham, I think Man United will beat Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United won against Tottenham only because of Ronaldo. There is no reason to think that Ronaldo will score a hat-trick in every match and lead Manchester United to victory. He can't play well in every match. So if Atletico Madrid wants to beat Manchester United, then all the players in the team have to play well. If they rely on Ronaldo then the chances of winning are very low.

Difficult choose to predict which one will lead to next stage between Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid tonight because first leg without any winning team. I don't see expectation with Manchester United as favorite for winning although play on home and have fans support because many time played on Old Trafford Manchester United always defeated by against team. I think Atletico Madrid want to qualify next stage and both team have good chance each other for qualifying next round on champion league.

Gambling market shows that Manchester United is the favourite, apart from playing at home they are also superior on away goal it means it's enough without a goal
then Manchester United has qualified. My guess is that the first half will be a bit boring as both teams play defensively I mean be more careful, after that the second half will be a fight.

[KTChampions]

Regarding conditions, I agree with you that Atletico Madrid in La Liga is slightly better than Manchester United in the English Premier League. Atletico Madrid's chance to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season can still be through the La Liga route rather than Manchester United in the English Premier League. I can say, the big teams on average experienced less good things in the 21/22 season. Not just Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

What is the point of comparing the position of teams in the national championships if now (it used to be the other way around) in Spain there is one top club and a group of strong teams, and in England there are several top clubs + a group of strong teams. Of course, United are in a worse position in such conditions because the competition in the EPL is now much higher than in La Liga.
