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

[Cryptmuster]

Indeed, the betting odds for Benfica are tempting for gamblers who want big profits, but it is not easy to beat ajax in its stronghold!! But we can go with a draw, it would be better than betting on a win for Benfica.

Can Atletico really not score in the first half tonight?

Ajax are the clear favorites in this match, we know well what Ajax can do when they get in the mood, they can score a lot of goals. It will be very difficult for Benfica to beat Ajax away. The Manchester United - Atletico Madrid match is very difficult to predict, anything can happen in this match, but I think that there will be few goals in this match.

Some tasty games going on at this stage of the champions league and tonight i will be watching Manchester united play after a great performance over the weekend. And with Cristiano back to lead the pack am expecting a solid performance here to get them to the next stage as last timeout the boys crashed out at this point... Can CR7 be the difference today?

My prediction United 2-1 Athletico Madrid

It's interesting how people can't wait for Manchester United's game against Atletico Madrid. At least if they dropped a bet, they might still be a little hesitant because Manchester United's performance is still not said to be completely stable. Of course, it is very likely that the competition for the quarter-finals will become an arena for risking the quality between big clubs to show their respective qualities. It is also possible that Atletico Madrid has a performance that will be quite interesting. Does anyone bet on a draw?

Well Atletico Madrid will have to brace up for tonights game and Manchester United will come for this game with full force because their prepared to win to retain their position or better still move into the next level, but with Manchester United previous performance in their last game Atletico Madrid will be on defensive end and possibly taking advantage of any opportunity to make an early score in the match.

Are you all ready for the game of the day? First game 1:1 and now Manchester at home at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in a scoring mood since last game and Atletico has seen that. At Atletico, i always want to see how Joao Felix plays, he too is Portuguese and a strike partner for Ronaldo. My tip today is clearly Manchester and more than 3 goals. Both teams will not win the championship in the league, so if they want to win a cup this season, it will be the Champions League.

2.25 odds for Manchester United at their home venue? That's quite great, isn't it? I have no idea how much it was for Man U back in the first leg? Can someone? For ATM, it's 3.70 but that's reasonable as it will an away match for them.

It was pretty much the same on the 1st leg. It was 2.7 for atletico Madrid, 2.75 for United and 3.1 for draw so the odds this time is kinda reasonable considering that they will be playing on Old Trafford. Whatever the outcome of this game, I will be happy if United could get on to the next stage so yeah hoping for a bare minimum of 0-0 draw would be great

I think it'll be a low scoring affair just like last time but the odds on Atletico seems pretty juicy to me. United does have better quality players and lineup but I can sense a possible upset here. Would be an interesting watch.

Both games now 15 minutes into the game and still 0-0, which is no surprise. Ajax-Benfica is a fairly open match from what I understand. It probably won't be long before a goal is scored there. Ajax already scored a goal, but that turned out to be offside. It is not the case with Ajax that both teams want to feel free to explore. United also have the upper hand, but they have a stiff opponent in Atletico Madrid, once the masters of defense a few years ago. And United has Ronaldo, too

[SatoPrincess]

Even at old Trafford, the game is still goalless. Manchester United have been poor this season, having numerous draws. United is a shadow of what we know as a top club and this is not just this season, this has been on for a long time. But in the last 25 minutes Manchester United have been very convincing. United look like they are better off in this game.

Although no goals have been scored in the match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, the game looks good for Manchester United. Several chances were successfully created by Manchester United and they seemed to dominate the attack in the first half. But their defense isn't that great, that's clear.

I think Manchester United and Atletico Madrid can both score in this game but Manchester United looks like they will win this match. There is a different spirit from the players to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and so far the match looks very exciting.

[VanityWallets2015]

It is not very strange in itself that both games are still 0-0, we are only in about 35 minutes. There will still be several goals, but it wouldn't surprise me if these goals all come in the 2nd half. United and Ajax are better, but especially Ajax has already had a lot of opportunities with a large field dominance. It's not much use if it's 0-0. I'm also curious if Haller manages to score a goal again.

[Woodie]

Atletico Madrid have a deadly counter... Had that not been offside i think Manchester United might have not comeback from that despite playing so well in the first half. With how difficult chances are to comeby in the game, this is looking like anybody can win thi one. Under 1.5 goals is a good bet for any gambling.
My word spoke too soon, Atletico lead 1-0 before the break of the first half.

[retreat]

goallll, we saw Lodi score in the 41' minute. Manchester United's defense is really very bad but my big question is why there are no big changes made by Rangnick. the first half will end soon, hopefully in the second half, manchester united can return their face at home.

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Atletico indeed 0-1 for, probably not many people had foreseen that. Atletico are not at their best this period, but they have seen some really classy players, and a lot of experience, of course Man United have a better team but so far they have certainly not been convincing in Manchester. It could also just stay 0-1 for a while, normally Atletico can hold a marginal lead well. United will really have to come now, and will undoubtedly take more risks in the 2nd half. There will then be more space for Atletico with Suarez and Griezman, who know how to handle that in their correct form.

[KTChampions]

0-1 for United after the first half. Nothing is lost yet, because if they were going to win the task has not changed in any way - they need to score a goal (but now it will give only a draw).
I don't want to be a pessimist but something tells me that the pendulum for United has swung again and today is an "unlucky" day for them. By the way, odds for United are very attractive now. Given the instability of both teams, anything is possible.

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Manchester united defence is not as bad as you have said it. Manchester United defence is doing well from the start of the match to the end of first time. The only mistake they made which is the mist that cost them is leaving Lodi unmarked. He was so free to do what he wish and what he actually wished was a good one for Atletico Madrid.

I do not know if Ronaldo will still perform as everybody is expecting him to perform because he is being fouled so many times and Manchester United other players are being fouled by Atletico Madrid players.
Manchester united will equalize in the second half

The poor defense of Manchester United still seems to be a big problem in this match where so far there have been 2 goals from Atletico Madrid in the first half even though one of them was offside. Atletico Madrid have a strong defense and they are also very effective in attack, yes 0-1 now and I think Manchester United should do it in the second half.

Now the risk of betting on Manchester United has increased, but nothing is impossible to see them win. In another match, Ajax also still drew with Benfica.

5,50 - 3,25 - 1,75

1.47 odds for Ajax to win the match. I think that's very low. When the match started, it was already around 1.40-1.50
That shows how much better Ajax is than Benfica in this match. I have more understanding for the odds in United's game. Atletico must be able to consolidate the score and then strike from a counterattack or a dead end to make it 0-2. But this match is one that could go either way, United are also able to win this 3-1. We will now see how good Ronaldo really is today.

[sana54210]

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.

I would say that Ronaldo already had a great game, and I am not entirely sure if he is still at an age where he could perform like that back to back.

I mean surely it looks like he is going to do well enough, but I am not sure if well enough to turn the tide of the game again. He did that against Spurs and that is a great game, and kudos to him for becoming the highest scoring person in clubs history, but at the end of the day this dude is like 100 years old and he will play a game so so back again after tiring himself so much. He could have a let down game all we know, and ATM could take advantage of that. With a weak defense on United as well, it's all possible.

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid is not a team that you will not want to score first against you, especially just before halftime...As they now have the lead, Diego Simeon will beef up defense. Looking at the line up, i was wondering why some players like Pogba where not included in the start up and why Maguire who has been in bad form still allowed to start and even captain the team. Good thing Ronaldo is playing and the likes of Bruno Fernandez back on the team from covid, if the coach brings in Pogba, MUFC may still have a chance IMO.

Ajax - Benfica game is still goaless, surely there must be a winner in both games today, no draws.

[Wiwo]

United is a shadow of what we know as a top club and this is not just this season, this has been on for a long time. But in the last 25 minutes Manchester United have been very convincing. United looks like they are better off in this game.

Madrid is already leading with a 1 goal I know Madrid is going to give Manchester United a tough time in this match and winning will not come easy for Manchester United in this match, there is a high possibility the match will end with a draw as that has been the usual tradition for Manchester United this season. But if their can secures a goal it will become hard for Madrid to penetrate their defenses to equalize.

Can Atletico really not score in the first half tonight?

Ajax are the clear favorites in this match, we know well what Ajax can do when they get in the mood, they can score a lot of goals. It will be very difficult for Benfica to beat Ajax away. The Manchester United - Atletico Madrid match is very difficult to predict, anything can happen in this match, but I think that there will be few goals in this match.

Ajax have somewhat dominated the game in the first half but have not been able to make the most important use of those chances, I think this game will still provide at least two goals come the second 45 minutes, and Ajax is still going to be my pick.

Atletico Madrid stole an important lead against Man United, but they'll need tp be very organized defensively which haven't been their best characteristic this season, can Man Utd still pull this off though ? I guess we'll see!

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

If Ronaldo, Pogba, Rashford, Sancho and Fred play well, it will be difficult for Manchester United to hold on. Coach Rangnick must help build bonds between all the players. And the match strategy has to be sorted that way.

Pogba and Rashford aren't in the starting eleven so let hope they get introduce in the second half as they are on the bench and get Manchester united going because currently I don't think they're playing like they what to win the game. I predicted Atletico winning and already they're 1:0 up in the first half. Atletico Madrid would now want to play a defensive football but just for the seek of enjoying good football, I hope they don't park the bus and just wait on countering Manchester united, this will just end up making the match a boring one.

Ajax-Benfica is goalless at the break but it seems Ajax are doing more of the pressing so if they keep up that momentum and don't run out of luck then it's just a matter of time before they break the defense of Benfica. Both matches hasn't been that Interesting to watch.
