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

[asus09]

After the surprising result Ajax got, there was another one for Juventus yesterday. They lost to Villarreal by 3-0 in Italy and it must be a really embarrassing result for them too. They shouldn't have been eliminated like this at least. It was a really awkward match. Juventus played all the time but Villarreal punished them many times after Juventus failed in scoring even one goal. Vlahovic and Morata found important chances actually but couldn't benefit from them. Who would have thought that Villarreal would score 3 goals consecutively in the last fifteen minutes of the match? I didn't for example. 

Never thought before Juventus lost by a big score what's more embarrassing is at home this is the second shock in the Champions League after the Manchester United defeat. Whereas previously we predicted the worst thing that could happen was a draw not lose totally unexpected. Next should be more careful placing bets in the Champions League , maybe we have a new champion like Benfica?

Certainly many did not expect Juventus to lose 3-0 at home, playing very impressively but in the remaining 12 minutes of the game Juventus fell with a score that is hard to believe, it is certain that many have suffered big losses, I myself also suffered losses which is very extraordinary, the bet that I placed was very large for Juventus' victory, but yes it is possible with the defeat of Juventus last night, I can make a useful experience for me, so that I don't repeat the same mistakes again.

You are right, I also lost in single bet and parlay I can say it was a big win day for the bookie maybe they're celebrating lol
Usually I make a second bet to cover if it's a draw like Both teams to score but in fact the home team doesn't score very annoying
Same with you today I'm more careful betting it's better to wait for the game to run while observing the game.

Juventus is almost the same as PSG, Juventus spent a lot of money in the last 4 seasons (from the news I read) but always lost in the knockout phase. conceded 3 goals in a short time, it was big bad luck, I also lost in the bet because of the defeat experienced by Juventus yesterday.

[Polkeins]

I did as you did and I bet on Juventus in this match but it was a pretty big loss here.
I think it's in the game that Villarreal completely locks the movement of Juventus in this case. They are not free to do anything in this match that keeps them stuck.
Dusan was well guarded so he couldn't give his best in this match

Damn, Villarreal played really well and beat Juventus with a score I didn't expect. Although their performance was not good when playing in La Liga, what they were after was more than that, seeing their target to be able to compete in the Champions League deserves thumbs up. They silenced Juventus without a fight. Even throughout the game that I watched, the Villarreal forward was very calm and tried to lock up the Juventus players.

Yes, 3-0 is a big enough score, but why did no one expect that Villarreal could beat Juventus. Unai Emery is a great coach who has already won the Europa League several times with average teams and he is constantly progressing. PSG also took not so much trophies without him.
Therefore, good luck to Unai Emery in the Champions League. He deserved that.

I also added Juventus to the multi bet and lost it (however, Ajax was also there). But I don't bet big so I'm not too upset. The fact that Juventus will not be too successful in the Champions League this season has long been clear, after all, now they are only the 4th team in Italy. But the fact that it will be knocked out by the 7th team of Spain, few could have imagined, especially after the first successful away match.

The penalty in the 78th minute really broke their concentration and continued to attack so they forgot about the defense which was well capitalized by Villarreal's quick counter-attack.
Well this is something that is indeed very difficult to predict because who would have thought that those who were seeded in this match would be eliminated with such a landslide score.
But it's undeniable with the first goal Villarreal are more confident after that

It is difficult to predict seeing the performance of Villareal which is quite good. They just play it safe by taking advantage of the counter-attack to take points. Because Juventus outperformed in terms of ball possession. Just look at the difference between the two, it's quite obvious that what Villareal's defenders did directly throw the ball forward. From here Juventus learned a lot from the Villareal club, that the attacks they made, apparently still lacked in completing goals.

[Pulsar77]

This round of the Champions League was just unbelievable. Ajax and Juventus both have been eliminated even though they were highly favourites in their matchups against Benfica and Villarreal respectively. And interestingly, they experienced the same scenario. They both took control of the game and found many chances to score. But none of them managed to score even one goal. Benfica defeated Ajax by 1-0 and Juventus were destroyed by Villarreal by 3-0. I was expecting to see Ajax and Juventus in the quarter finals. But football can be really interesting sometimes.

Somehow it is a shame that PSG is no longer in it. There is a lot of criticism of this team, I know that the game in question was already played last week. But in the first half, PSG really reigned supreme in Madrid. PSG would be one of the few teams capable of making it difficult for Bayern Munich and Manchester City. It would be nice if the two clubs were now drawn against each other. I think Bayern-City is a 50-50 game. But both would rather draw against Benfica.

I don't blame the players or coach, I blame the league they're playing at. There's no competition in their league like there's no match you can look at and compare them to other top games in other leagues. In the premier league, there are multiple game you'll consider top games and this kind of games help clubs prepare for other top clubs from other league when they encounter them in competition like the champions league.

This top matches can also be found in other league like in la Liga, we have matches between Real Madrid vs Barcelona and Atletico, Premier league has Manchester City vs Liverpool, Chelsea etc, Bayern Munich has Dortmund to prepare them against top clubs from other league but what does PSG has, nobody. They can easily beat any team in their league with ease and this weaken their fighting spirit when they meet bigger teams and this is evident as they keep getting knockout.

But wait, PSG is not a team that is impossible to lose even though it has a number of expensive players in its squad. Last season PSG only managed to win 26 matches, 4 of which drew and 8 lost. This made them fail to win the 2020-2021 season title.

For this season PSG have also experienced 3 defeats and 5 draws in 28 matches. They are favorites in Ligue 1 every season which may be different from other leagues. But they are not a strong team in Europe where their failure is proof that they do not have good competition. There are only 2 candidates from Ligue 1 who qualify for the Champions League each season, and 1 other team has a chance of qualifying for the Champions League through the qualification pathway.

Juventus have just disappointed all of their supporters by getting a huge loss like 3-0 home. Villarreal were going to make difficulties for them surely but this was beyond my expectation honestly. I don't know how this game came to this point in only fifteen minutes. Juventus were keeping the game under control mostly but they still failed big time. After the Vlahovic transfer, I was hoping for Juventus to be more successful but they need to be much better than this as a team.

Not only their own supporters we as gamblers are also disappointed it doesn't make sense for us Juventus to lose at home even with 3 goals does not make sense
I understand anything can happen in every game but losing without scoring a goal is really embarrassing, I know there are new players who are aggressively scoring in the local league but somehow in the champions league he can't.

A more relaxed league is also the German bundesliga, Bayern Munich has won the league for the past nine to ten years but yet have their eyes high on the European competition Champions League.
I don't think their poor/ uncompetitive league they play has any to do with this, reflecting back at that game, they the defender's where a bit sloppy and the whole team entirely.
Also the coach has a role in this, if the team is doing good, all praise goes to the coach,bit if he isn't the opposite happens.
In this case I'll blame Pochetino for not being good enough for them, or might be that that team are too big to handle.

[el kaka22]

I definitely did not expected Villareal to dominate the way they did last night. The funny thing is, last year Villareal won the europa league against United, and everyone said that it was a fluke and United was a better team and Villareal was just lucky to win that game.

This year, Villareal is now going to next stage whereas United failed to do so, which means that Villareal once again had a better season than United this year as well. I do not know if this was a fluke as well-, we gotta ask the British I guess. This is why never really trust the feedbacks of a fan, they will always find excuses on their failure and United has been failing for a long time now.

Surely it's big disappointment for fans and peoples around the world but still this is big achievement from them after having very difficult start of this season in Serie A and in Champions League they reach in knock out stage specially when they have very long list of injured players with them.

Now after this exit we can expect a big comeback from them in next season with new players are making their mark in this side, and they already achieved some good results in Italian League with most chances they will settle for third or fourth spot for this season and having good chance for reaching into Champions League for next season which was not easy few weeks back, but now things are happening in positive for them and their attitude is also very good for next season.

Sadly we have only four countries in the last eight teams with 3 from England and Spain and 1 from Portugal and Germany.

[kawetsriyanto]

8 teams have definitely stepped into the next stage and the 8 teams are the best teams that will compete again to qualify for the next stage in the UEFA Champions League.
3 from England,
3 from Spain,
1 from Germany and
1 from Portugal.

Who will be the best 4 teams that will qualify for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League?

It is difficult to predict which team to qualify to the next stage before we know the next match schedule. Let's see first the draw for the next match. We can analyze the possibility for the teams that has a bigger chance to qualify based on the draw of the next match. However, there should be a representative team from England and Spain because they have 3 candidates. And I believe Bayern Munchen also to qualify if they don't face Real Madrid, Man City, or Liverpool.

I think tomorrow night will have drawing for champion leagur and europe leagie because all drawing time always waiting for secomd europe competition as europe league. I tjink on this round not any specific team will face each other, have possibility for the same cou try will against on quarter final, exactly last 16 round can't have the same country will against and have different on quarter final, but I hope Real Madrid could against with Benfica or Villareal as not favorite team to semi final.

By the way, I am not surprised that Villarreal went further in the match with Juventus, I am much more surprised by the score that was shown in this match. With all due respect to Juventus, the team looks unstable this season and I'm already starting to sneer at the people who rejoiced at the departure of Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo from the team. You can talk as much as you like about the strength of Juventus, but still the team lost a lot after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Especially when it turned out that the team could not agree with Dibala on a contract extension. It is sad and funny when a football player's agent leaves after negotiations because the club's representatives have again changed the terms of the contract.

[Velvet78]

I said that Villarreal might surprise too and they really did it!    I can't say that it was a well-deserved victory for them because they had only 4 shots in the second half of the game. And the ones in the first half were not that good either. Three shots on goal and all of them are ending up with goals.    I assume that this was much more than Villarreal were expecting to have. Because they must have thought that Juventus wouldn't let them get away with a very comfortable score. But somehow they did. Although Juventus performed really well, there was no goal by them. Very interesting game indeed.
