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

[BITCOIN4X]

I think have enough time for Karim Benzema recovering from injury huge because he was absent on International FIFA matchday for his country and replace by Oliver Giroud and looks will be ready against with Chelsea of 1st leg champion league. Chelsea have better perform on champion league depending with Real Madrid because on 16 round Chelsea success win 1st and 2nd leg against with Lille but Real Madrid almost eliminating from PSG after 1st leg loss 1-0 before winning on 2nd leg 3-1 and have aggregate 3-2.

If you are observant and able to analyze Real Madrid's game in the last few games then you will probably know that this season they are not ready to reach the Champions League final. I know this team has great experience in the Champions League and it may take a long time for any team to match their achievements so far, but I believe Real Madrid will not be as good as expected when they meet Chelsea in the quarter-finals.

Chelsea will certainly be seeded to qualify for the next round by beating Real Madrid, but there is no guarantee if Chelsea's performance is not as good as expected during the match because both teams have the same chance to win the match in 2 meetings.

It was a tough game against Barcelona in La Liga. Anceloti's mistake and benzema's absence left Madrid devastated. The game against Chelsea is still three weeks away, so Benzema's hopes of recovering from injury are huge. Chelsea are the champions in 2021, Madrid is the club that gets the most UCL Cups. It's going to be an interesting match. UCL will feature more interesting games than LIga, their spirit is certainly different. Madrid's first leg will go to England, of course the hope is to win but the draw is also quite good. This means that Madrid must play to the maximum to steal goals in England.

I also think it will be interesting to see what happens to Chelsea after this season. Even though Abramovich is a oligarch i think he was a great investor for Chelsea who did not invest into the club to make money with it but to help the club become one of the strongest teams in Europe. If i remember correctly then Chelsea was just an average Premier League club before Abramovich came.
So it will be interesting to see what happens when there is a new investor. Will he, just like Abramovich, also pump money from his own pocket into the club in order to stay competitive or will he just buy the shares from Abramovich and that's it? If the latter is the case then i don't think that Chelsea can stay one of the top clubs of Europe.

Hopefully this will not be a significant gap later.
This condition really makes Chelsea affected at least until next season and it is also possible that they will also be different from before.
Now they have been affected even if I am not mistaken in seeing the news they are now being threatened with not being able to make purchases in the transfer season and not being able to make new contracts with players who are out of contract.
This would be very detrimental in my opinion.

I think that both Real Madrid and Chelsea have the same chance of qualifying for the semifinals. Real Madrid and Chelsea are great teams that have many star players and they both also have a winning mentality. Chelsea does have the good thing which Thomas Tuchel has a good record against Real Madrid, but I don't think Real Madrid will be easily beaten by Chelsea because after all Real Madrid has beaten PSG and it must be reckoned with by Chelsea. So it will be difficult to predict which team will come out as the winner of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Based on the odds in the betting market it looks like Chelsea will be the favorites in the match but it's just the odds which might not be accurate considering both teams have 90 minutes to try their best to win the match.

Tuchel was a super coach in the Champions League last season where he managed to lead his team to the title to close his first season at Chelsea perfectly. Maybe I won't make Chelsea favorites this season especially in the quarter-finals and I think Real Madrid's experience in the Champions League will answer all of that. Ancelotti must really do his best for his team, it's a tough task.

The sanctions received by Roman Abramovich greatly affected the Chelsea club at this time, how they lacked financially, so that Chelsea had to be abandoned by several sponsors who terminated their cooperation contracts with the London club and the latest news even said that the British government had frozen the assets owned by the London club. Abramovich including one of them is the sale of a club where the proceeds from the sale will not be received by Abramovich, even though we know that the Russian tycoon acquired Chelsea long ago and made the club one of the biggest clubs in the world to date, this is precisely what will happen. It will be a disaster for Chelsea if it is not in the right hands.if one day the sale or transfer process has been realized

The mentality that Real Madrid players have during UCL matches is above average, the match against PSG is proof that the number of star players is not a guarantee to be able to go further on the UCL stage.
While Chelsea are also with the same, they are the reigning champions and of course they will face this game with high confidence but at the moment a lot of internal problems are happening at the Chelsea club I think it is very possible for it to affect their game.
Despite all that, it was a very tough game, both teams have almost the same quality. I personally prefer Real Madrid to be able to win this battle and qualify for the next round.

For Chelsea, this may be the first time they have met a team that is strong enough in the Champions League this season because in the previous phase they could be said to be quite the underdog team because they always met the easier team.
But agree with what you said Mentality is quite influential here and Madrid have that because it is certain that beating PSG will be one thing that can be used as something optimistic for them.
It will be interesting whether the reigning champions will continue or indeed Madrid, who are not always at the top, will continue to be there.

both teams did play quite well in the UCL competition .  The Chelsea vs Madrid meeting is indeed very interesting for football lovers because Chelsea is the defending champion and Madrid is the club with the most champions league winners (13 times). on their meeting statistics Real madrid are winless against Chelsea. Will this meeting real madrid be able to win against chelsea?  It's quite exciting to look forward to.

[aylabadia05]

I don't think that Manchester City will be in a big trouble against Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals. Atletico Madrid may have eliminated Manchester United. And it was a great success for them of course. But Manchester City are a much more serious opponent for them. They are among the biggest favourite teams for the Champions League title. And we know how strong they are in the Champions League this season. Atletico Madrid are a team that are solid in defense. But I don't think that they can resist especially in Etihad.

Atletico Madrid being able to beat Manchester United 2-1 on aggregate this year in the UCL is not a surprise for football fans who follow match after match in the UCL. Manchester United is indeed in a state of chaos so that this condition can be an opportunity for ATM. If the ATM in the face of Manchester City, their game is still like when they faced Manchester United, then get ready to be humiliated by the Manchester City players.
The statistics of the meeting between the two coaches between D. Simone and the club coached by Pep Guardilo always experience difficulties. This means that Pep Guardiola is superior to D. Simone.

Of course the meeting between Chelsea and Real Madrid will be very interesting and also eagerly awaited by football lovers, because this meeting is a repeat of last season's semifinals, and at that time Chelsea won 3-1 on aggregate, after drawing 1-1 at the Bernabeu and winning 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Will Real Madrid be able to take revenge or will Chelsea make Real Madrid like last season?

[Magicalking]

The meeting of Manchester city and ATM in the quarter-finals of the champions league might be a revenge arena for the English team against the representatives of Spain, because in the last 16 round yesterday, ATM managed to silence Manchester United, but this time ATM faced Manchester City, it is certain that ATM will have difficulty beating Manchester city, because Manchester city plays very consistently and plays very well, both in the champions league and in their domestic league, my prediction is that ATM steps will stop in the quarter-finals, because I am optimistic that Manchester city will be able to qualify for the semi-finals of the champions league.

Man City and Atletico are both strong teams so it will be a little difficult to predict who will come out victorious in the Champions League quarter-final match, but seeing the performance of Man City's team this season is more consistent than Atletico's team, so I will support Man City in that meeting and I believe that they can stop Atlético to the next round, but their Atletico will also not let that win go easily to the Man City team, they will definitely try their best to put pressure on the opposing team.

Athletico Madrid will have to be on their very best for 90 minutes against Manchester City, of course they are expected to go all defensive and hope to get a chance to bury the game. This is trouble for City since they always find it difficult breaking down a well organized defensive team and obviously Guardiola is known to be unable to deal with team playing that brand of football. Regardless, I will still predict Manchester City to beat them because this Atletico side tend to make mistakes often this season unlike them and with the likes of De Bruyne and Mahrez, City will create chances and score.

Every Chelsea match that has been passed, Chelsea always displays a strong performance to win without measuring the rating of the opposing football club, because all clubs as strong challengers have the potential to beat chelsea if a comparative analysis is in the rankings, it will end like Real Madrid's defeat against PSG, chances within 90 minutes the match can change the direction of victory beyond prediction. Chelsea must win in the first leg at Stamford Bridge in the knockout phase against Real Madrid on April 6, according to former midfielder Joe Cole said not much has changed in the game with Real Madrid since last season's semi-final, he is optimistic The Blues will win the game, but of course his analysis is not correct, the Real Madrid demanded revenge to beat Chelsea this season.

[RILWAN]

Manchester City is performing top in the premier and even in UEFA Champions League, with their present performance the club is aiming to hold on strong to the trophy in this season but Chelsea and other clubs will make that hard for them.

Yes, last season Chelsea managed to beat Real Madrid in the semifinals, and now Chelsea will play again against Madrid and I don't think there is much change in the Chelsea squad, only Chelsea this season is much better. But anyway, we also can't underestimate Madrid even though in reality Madrid only relies on Benzema, but Madrid still has many good players. So yes, Both still have a chance to win, but in the end I only believe Chelsea will qualify for the semifinals and sorry for Madrid, maybe this will be the second time in a row they have been knocked out by Chelsea under Tuchel.

The fate of Chelsea's future really depends on who the UK government eventually sell the club to. Chelsea's fans are really disturbed by this current situation as many fear the process is already politicized. Apparently, there are current three leading bids in all news to takeover Chelsea, Todd Boehly, Nick Candy’s consortium and the Saudi Media Group. Most Chelsea's fans would prefer the Saudi media group because they are known to splash money like Abramovich too. If they are able to buy the club over then I think Chelsea will remain a top side in Europe for a long time.

This is a game to look out for in the quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid are a team that can sit deep and hope to stun you on the counter. This style of play is the most proven way to beat pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Manchester City still remain the favorite to progress between both sides because of their superior team strength, depth and experience but you know right away that pep is not underrating the opponent before him. Diego simeone is an experienced coach and he will be prepared for what will be brought before him

Tuchel has always given something positive to Chelsea's strategy and this has been the case during his time in charge and I really appreciate that too.
On the other hand I agree with what you said that Madrid's dependence on Benzema is really difficult to get rid of and indeed it has proven to this day when Benzema is not around. The other players are so confused like chicks looking for their mother.
I think it depends on how prepared and the strategy will be, although in this case it can be said that Chelsea is better but I will probably be in the Madrid camp

Investing is one thing, investing wisely is another thing altogether. Chelsea can still find a way to stay very much competitive even if the new owner does not plunder in money into the club like Roman did. The only way this can work is if the club invest wisely in the transfer market. Liverpool fc are example of a club that do not invest crazily in the transfer market but have continued to stay very much relevant in recent years. If chelsea are to follow in their footpath, I don't see any major changes to how competitive Chelsea can be. If they can also keep Thomas tuchel who seems to be on the best coaches in the world, they will maintain their competitive nature.
