Chelsea - Real Madrid

bookmakers are belittling real madrid. how can chelsea have an odd of @2.11 while real madrid has an odd of @3.65? it seems that chelsea is much better than real madrid when this is not true, chelsea is inconsistent too, I would say that it would be fair to have almost equal odds with an advantage for real madrid, but in the end I will bet on real madrid to win This game

FC Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City. got lucky, they should definitely be celebrating

[MK-74]

I think the next matches will be as follows.

Chelsea - Real Madrid = Real Madrid
Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City
Villarreal - Bayern Münih = Bayern Munich
Benfica - Liverpool = Liverpool

It will be a very easy match for Bayern Munich, as well as for Liverpool.

The toughest match will be Chelsea vs Madrid.

Seeing from the previous UCL 2020/2021 Chelsea were able to beat Real Madrid at home with a score of 2-0, now in the first leg Chelsea as the host but the bookie offers Real Madrid with a big opportunity if I think of course Real Madrid will be better ahead of Stamford Bridge.
I won't underestimate it but I also think that my bet will still fall on Real Madrid especially with @3.65 odds.

I think the next matches will be as follows.

Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City

Diego Simeone and Pep  Guardiola face each other. This is a game I'm looking forward to. Pep and Diego have different ideas of playing football.  Which tactician is going overpower the other?

[Jackl87]

Bayern Munich again drew the easiest draw. Villarreal have been good so far, but it's next to impossible for them to beat Bayern. Liverpool also seems to be one step ahead of Benfica. It's a tough draw for Manchester City but I don't think they will make a mistake. With PSG absent this season, they are the biggest favorites with Bayern for the championship. It's very difficult to choose between Chelsea and Real Madrid. They drew the hardest one. I'm sure we will watch very exciting matches.

Bayern was really lucky with the draw today and i also think that they really needed that luck because Bayern is in a pretty bad shape at the moment. They only managed to achieve two draws in a row in the Bundesliga and at the moment it looks like it could become a really close race for the Bundesliga title this year even though Borussia Dortmund is also not playing that well. I still think though that if everything goes in a normal way then Bayern should still be stronger than Villareal and therefore able to advance into the next round and then we have another few weeks until the semi-finals happen and maybe then Bayern is in a better shape than now.

Yep and it's great to be at Real Madrid's side again like before.
Chelsea are quite favored because they are the reigning champions now but I don't see anything impressive in them and are more inclined to Madrid again especially after their comeback in Leg 2 against PSG some time ago.
3.63 is definitely something quite profitable now

Chelsea are last year Champions despite them being underdog in the tournament in SF stages. Chelsea can surprise out at times so I think odd seems ok. Real Madrid also haven't been their best but Chelsea have been great this season. Although they lost their grip in the title race but I think they are playing great football atleast better than Real Madrid in my opinion.

[dataispower]

I think the draw was even very friendly to the main candidates. Perhaps the match Chelsea - Real Madrid is the one that generates more doubts about who will win. And eventually the Man. City - Atl. Madrid, can also be a difficult game. But here I think Man. City will eventually win.

So my guesses for the qualifier winners are:
Bayern
Liverpool
Real Madrid
Man. City

It shows you're a Manchester United fan, Chelsea are a better side of late you see, much improvement in the defense and the attack has been quite great.
Omission of Athletico Madrid ? This I will not conclude not until the both game's are played already, but as for me the Spanish side will move to the next round.
Bayern Munich has an edge over Villarreal, in terms of quality, they play more of their balls in the middle and Bayern can use that against them with wingers, pacy wingers.

Chelsea will win the match and I was super excited to see this the match/game lineups Chelsea vs real Madrid the match may be flexible for Chelsea but there will win the match. Manchester City on the other hand are topping the UEFA Champions table goes a long way to show how the championship trophy will go, the next round is going to be tough since many teams will be knocked out.

After the matchups were decided, I thought that the toughest one among them was Chelsea - Real Madrid certainly. I'm expecting a pure competition between these solid teams. Chelsea are the last champions in the Champions League. We should consider this first absolutely. And they are having another decent season in the tourney. But Real Madrid are much more different than their look in last season. They are much stronger and Benzema is showing an insane performance too. I think they are one step ahead in this for now.

I think it's a pretty balanced and interesting match until the 2nd leg, Chelsea who are the defending champions certainly want to defend the title.  Then Real Madrid, who have returned to their best form under Carlo Ancelotti this season, also want to win the Champions League trophy again, as they had recorded a sweet score with Ancelotti a few years ago.  Let's look forward to it!

yes, there is only 1 match interesting in terms of tension and that is Chelsea against Madrid. The other matches is pretty clear who goes through. Maybe even more fun. Imagine if we now had Benfica - Villarreal and Manchester City - Liverpool for example, nobody wants that in the quarter finals. Chelsea - Madrid seems like a game that could go either way, hard to say who the favorite is. Maybe there isn't.

ya.ya.yo!

The champions league draw is here. I'm so excited and concerned about the fixture between the defending champions and the club that has won the champions league 13th times in history. They gave my supporting team, Chelsea one of the strongest team in the world, Real Madrid. Thomas Tuchel has a good record against real Madrid, He has never lost a game  against Madrid. Both when he was Dortmund Manager, PSG manager and Currently at Chelsea. Remember, it was Chelsea that knock-out real Madrid from champions league last season. The opportunity is here again for real Madrid, the big question is, can real Madrid break the tough record which Thomas Tuchel had against them?

[SatoPrincess]

In the past ten years, Both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated the Champions League, they have both left their comfort zone and are not performing at a higher level like they use to do.
I think it's high time we stop rating them too highly, yes they have dominated but it's time for other young players to sprout out.
Kylian Mbappe and Erling Halland are next in line,but how far can they go ?
I'll be waiting patiently for the champions league draws.

It's not a short time to witness the debut of a soccer star
Between Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Halland
They were so entertaining and didn't bother me in the slightest to watch their Champions League match, they amazed me from every match that was served.
The draw schedule may have been fixed and I think it's better enough, maybe I imagine them in 1 favorite club in the future and so compact in the league. that's just what I think. Messi and crystiano ronaldo I want to see your action again. messi with the striker at PSG and ronaldo at MU even though the team is different I still like it.

I doubt if we have any rivalry as that of Messi and Ronaldo anytime soon, I think players of this present generation are not as competitive as those two; not even Erling Haaland and Mbappe will do that much. I still think it is unfair to say because Ronaldo and Messi left their comfort zone that is why they have not been on their top level. These two players are over 34 years; at this age most footballers are retiring from the game and even the ones they still plays move to a less competitive league like China, America etc but not Ronaldo and Messi, they are still competing on the highest level.

The champions league draw is here. I'm so excited and concerned about the fixture between The defending champions and the club that has won the champions league 3x times in a row. They gave my supporting team, Chelsea one of the strongest team in the world, Real Madrid. Thomas Tuchel has a good record against real Madrid, He has never lost a game  against Madrid. Both when he was Dortmund Manager, PSG manager and Currently at Chelsea. Remember, it was Chelsea that knock-out real Madrid from champions league last season.

Chelsea - Madrid is an exciting match. I think both teams are not happy with the draw, but they don't have to be dissatisfied either. They could have hit Liverpool, City or Bayern Munich. That had been negative. They could have hit Benfica and Villareal, they certainly would have had a better chance to continue there. I think Villareal makes a good impression. Benfica has been very lucky to have them through. Villareal seems to me clearly better of the 2, but if you have to play against Bayern Munich then you can forget it.

[Magicalking]

Obviously, Chelsea got the most difficult tie amongst the favorites but Chelsea got through this Real Madrid side last season and they will be hoping they can do it again. Chelsea's coach Thomas Tuchel has great record against Madrid too, he has never lost a game against them yet and I believe this will add to Chelsea's confidence going into the tie. As for Bayern and Liverpool, it's safe to say they are already in the next round but that tie between Manchester City and Athletico will be a dicey one; it can go either way, still City is tipped to be the favorite.

[jakdanyel]

Chelsea - Real Madrid is surely going to be even the most waited matchup in the quarter final round. I wouldn't be unhappy if we saw these two having a match against each other in the final round too. Because Chelsea were the champion team in the CL last season. And Real Madrid are one of the deserving teams for the title too. And they had a draw against each other in the semi final round last season too. It looks like this can be revenge time for Real Madrid too. I'm favouring Real Madrid to advance now.

Perhaps because Chelsea are at home. I am glad Real Madrid was drawn against Chelsea instead of one of the other underdogs. Underdogs at this stage of the tournament as so tricky. Real Madrid will go to Stamford bridge knowing that Chelsea are the reigning champions, and I expect some sweet revenge this time round.

FC Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City. got lucky, they should definitely be celebrating

This is Champion's League mate. One can not celebrate this early.

Yeah, I could say I look forward to this matchup than Real Madrid vs Chelsea without overreacting,  Atletico Madrid vs Man City will be a game of two contrast tactics but, it's rather sad that the Away Goal Rule is no longer in play, because I'm sure that would have added a lot of more spice to this fixture.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich seemed to have gotten the best opponents possible, but it's they'll have to be wary of the threat Benfica and Villarreal have shown so far this season in the competition.

[RealMalatesta]

It's true that the draw hasn't been done yet so we don't know which team will go up against which team. However, before the draw is made and we know the exact schedule, it is not wrong if we try to predict who will qualify for the next stage of the 8 teams that have now qualified. Who knows our guess is right even though it hasn't been drawn yet.

There are some teams we all know will have a field day unless they face each other. I know that Real Madrid, Manchester city and Bayern Munich all will have a great time unless they face each other. If they face other teams, then they are going to semi finals for sure and there is no doubt about that.

Obviously, they could face each other and in that situation only one of them will go ahead, while the other one will be eliminated but even in that case whoever goes to next stage has a chance to beat their semi finals opponent a lot more easier. I believe that there will be at least two of them facing each other, but that leaves one alone and that one may win the title.
