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

[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.

Chelsea-Real Madrid
Manchester City-Atletico Madrid
Villarreal-FC Bayern
Liverpool-Benfica

This are the officially he draws for the next rounds, three premier league teams, three Spanish teams, a German team, and lastly Portuguese.

Very nice to see the result of the quarter-final draws. Looks some strong candidates will face weaker teams and probably have a big chance to qualify for the next round. I only see Real Madrid face a strong team from EPL (Chelsea), the match seems to be very tight because this team has strong midfielders and defenders. However, I am still optimistic that Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-final round.  

Who qualifies for the next round ?

IMO. Here are the team to qualify for the next round:
- Real Madrid
- Man City
- Bayern Munchen
- Liverpool

[G_Besar]

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.

After the drawing process was carried out, one match that caught the attention of many people was Chelsea versus Real Madrid.  Many predictions and comments that I read on several social media stated that Real Madrid was more favored in this match, although Chelsea should not be taken lightly, last season Chelsea managed to stop Madrid's progress with an aggregate score of 3-1 and Chelsea qualified for the final and became champions.  , then the factor of Thomas Tuchel who has never tasted defeat against Los Blancos.  What is clear is that this is a very interesting match, both teams have the same opportunity to qualify for the next phase.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw has just been completed:

I think the matches that will be more exciting are Real Madrid vs Chelsea and MAN CITY vs Atletico Madrid.!! Liverpool and Bayern can easily reach the semi-finals
 

I think Liverpool has the easiest of ties. Even in the Arsenal game, they didn't play too good but they got the goals they needed to win. Benfica will not be a difficult team to beat Liverpool is more experienced than their rivals. In my opinion Liverpool can easily move to semi finals. Liverpool is the favorite to win, Benfica do not stand a chance

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.

From the results of the Champions League quarter final draw, of course, the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match caught my attention the most. Because both
teams are in good form, the chances for both teams are the same, so it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the next round. I also agree that
the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match is like a final, because both teams have almost the same quality of players. While other matches in the quarter finals
are easier to predict, so there is no doubt that the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match attracted the most attention. Although Chelsea was the champion of
the Champions League the previous year, but Chelsea's performance this season has decreased a bit in my opinion. Moreover, Chelsea is also
experiencing internal problems due to the effects of the war. At least it affects the mentality of Chelsea players, I like you prefer Real Madrid which
will qualify for the next round. This season Real Madrid has played amazingly with a pretty solid teamwork and Benzema is on fire, this is a positive value
for Real Madrid.

Villareal played well against Juventus. Benfica has not had a single chance against Ajax. Even the goal came from a free kick that was taken in no dangerous place. It was 90 minutes against Ajax, even playing on the counter was not possible. How is it supposed to go against Liverpool? I predict 2 easy Liverpool wins. Villareal is a surprise, but that draw against Bayern Munich is disadvantageous. Perhaps they will see them as a sporting challenge. It is also difficult to say who is the favorite for the final victory, it is better to say after the draw of the semi-finals.

[karabiber]

Quarterfinal pairings have been announced. I think the most remarkable matchup is City-Atletico. Atletico will struggle an English team again and I think it will upset the British. The Villarreal-Munih match could have surprising results. In the Chelsea-Madrid matchup, the team that passed the round will be Madrid. In the Benfica-Liverpool match, the team that passed the round will be Benfica.

[DukeNickle]

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
I understand anything can happen in every game but losing without scoring a goal is really embarrassing

You are right about it. I wonder how many people bet on Juventus to win. Because they were definitely very close side to win this game here. I don't know how this really happened here. Villarreal's advancing to next round like this was really a big surprise.

And now in the quarter final round, Villarreal have a matchup against Bayern Munich. I don't expect them to do the same against Bayern Munich too of course. Maybe they would resist in the first game but they would have nowhere to run in the rematch.

Without a doubt Real Madrid players are going to see this as a revenge game so they are going to give their all to win the game, however while this is an opportunity at the same time it is the most even match out of the four, at least on the other three games I see a clear favorite to go to the next round, however in this case I do not see it, if some people argue for Real Madrid to move forward then I think they have a point, but if someone else sees Chelsea as the best team then they have arguments as well to hold their position, so without a doubt it would be interesting to see how casinos are seeing the game and which one do they see as the favorite to move forward, because at least to me it looks as a fifty-fifty game.

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.

City to win, yeah I agree. Bookies agree too, City @1.45 - ATM @7
Bayern to win. I assume the whole planet agree.
Liverpool to win. Sure. Odds @8.8 for Benfica.
Chelsea @2.11 - Real Madrid @3.65. In this match precisely, it is hard to tell which team to win. The awesome comeback from Real Madrid against PSG might let people pick them but in the first leg everything is possible. Not sure about the outcome of this match but I think Real Madrid will pass at the end.

I don't understand why everyone as one is screaming that Real Madrid will win the match against Chesley... Does everyone think the English club are bad enough to face the Spaniards? Totally disagree, for me the priority is more on the London team than on Real Madrid, even though Real Madrid are in great form at the moment. The priority is for Chelsea to make it to the final at all

I'm a Juventus fan and I know the power of this Juventus, is nothing near a strong team.

We have a very weak midfield and we were missing 10 players, we are doing all the season with the top 2 players Chiesa and Dybala.

Juventus can be reborn only if they can/will change 2 of 3 people in the midfield.

[Velvet78]

The Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is really hard to make a prediction I think. Real Madrid's being solid shouldn't misguide people about this. I would like to remind everyone who think in that way that Chelsea won the title the last time even though there were much better performing teams then. It is all about playing smart here. You can't win every time you play dominantly. And I guess the Ajax and Juventus examples must be enough for what I'm trying to say. Real Madrid should watch out for a big threat this time not to be eliminated by Chelsea two times in a row.

It is also difficult to say who is the favorite for the final victory, it is better to say after the draw of the semi-finals.

Villarreal is a difficult topic because they themselves do not fully understand how they will play By the way, it will be interesting for me to find out where the head coach of the Ajax football club will meet the beginning of the new season. Manchester United is waiting for its new coach, there are options from Paris, there are options from the Netherlands and it is unknown what is true. I think that at this point in time, the option of Pochettino and Manchester United is much more likely, but anything can happen before the end of the season.

[Rengga Jati]

The Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is really hard to make a prediction I think.

Yeah, it can be said that this match will be the most interesting one and most difficult to predict than others.
Their power and performance so far are not really high indifference. Each club has its special power that may defeat each other.
But, If I need to bet, I think I will bet for Real Madrid as the winner, in my opinion, the midfielders of Real Madrid are more powerful and better. in this case. But once more, the match is a match, football is a football where the ways how every player as a team will play together in live match will really show the reality.

For other matches, I think it will be:
- Manchester City
- FC Bayern
- Liverpool

[ygsmaguduru]

Honestly I don't think that Liverpool and Bayern Munich will have big problems in the quarter finals. Benfica and Villarreal can't fight back against them too much especially in the rematches. Manchester City also shouldn't have a big difficulty against Atletico Madrid. They can finish it in the first leg. But it is very hard to tell what can happen in the Chelsea - Real Madrid game.

Most lucky for Liverpool and Bayern Munich with quarter final UEFA Champion League drawing because face with look as mediocre team although on football always have unpredictable about the winner, but against Benfica is not really hard for Liverpool and they have good chance to semi final and waiting by Bayern Munich beside against with Villareal on quarter final, have listed about semifinal stage and looks not any drawing again later when team success trough to semifinal just waiting which one team become against on semifinal although still have possibility for Benfica and Villareal take to semifinal.

Benfica will not be a difficult team to beat Liverpool is more experienced than their rivals. In my opinion Liverpool can easily move to semi finals. Liverpool is the favorite to win, Benfica do not stand a chance

I think you understimate Benfica too much. Yeah, LFC is big favorites, but I woludn't say that Benfica don't stand a chance. They already kicked out Ajax, which is very solid team this season. IMO, Bayern got easiest opponent. Villarreal is dark horse of tournament, they already eliminated Juventus quite unexpected, but I don't see chances for them against Bayern.

Why are you so surprised? Do you think Real Madrid is a small club? Don't forget that Real Madrid is an experienced club to win UCL trophy and they can reach this round by beating a strong team like PSG. So, it is very understandable if many people think Real Madrid is the favorite team to beat Chelsea. Real Madrid also has Benzema who performed amazingly during this season and he even could make a hat-rick in the last match in UCL. Normal people must consider this as the reason to support Real Madrid, bro.

True , despite chelsea struggling financially and due the politics heated as of impact abramovich strong relationship with putin andd the non sense uk sanctions , they managed to keep up the good performance , one more time beat real madrid to lift the champions league title back to back and they could show to the world how football should be done away from politics.

I bet real madrid wont underestimated chelsea as well as the last time the two meet , chelsea knocked real madrid out.
