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

To tell the truth now, I'm thinking over Villarreal's semi final chance quite seriously.

The victory of Villareal was really great enough, although only a goal, this really lead more confidence for the club on the next match.
but, Bayern may learn much from the previous match, they are big team, I believe that they will prepare much better. in this case, Villareal should be also more ready for the second leg because it may be more difficult. It is still not safe and still difficult to determine who will win in the second leg and who will have more aggregate.

Villarreal did play well yesterday but somehow they resisted the onslaught in the second leg Munich must do anything to reverse the situation
Munich will be embarrassed if they have to be defeated by Villarreal for the second time normally it does not make sense
I didn't see doubts on the Munchen side they could definitely win and qualify very possible with a big score.

I also think so because Munich itself has also beaten big clubs with more scores in the past and I will not rule out the possibility that it could happen again to Villarreal in the future, because Munich still has a bigger potential to win. in the second leg later, especially if they will use all strategies or tactics to be able to win in the next match or in the second leg

Bayern Munich have good record when playing home after last round held by Salzburg but second leg on Allianz Arena Stadium, latest match Bayern success defeated Salzburg 7-1 and I don't think Villareal have enough salary with winning 1 goal keep consistent and have chance to qualify until semifinal. But good result on 1st leg give little chance for Villareal just getting draw only have locked position to semifinal and give  and become best achievement for La Liga team after remaining with two team only right now between Real Madrid and Villareal.

Bayern Munich will definitely beat Villarreal in the second leg of the quarter final at the Allianz arena. That was how Salzburg drawed them in the first leg, but later conceded a 7 goals in the second leg. So, the game between Bayern Munich and Villarreal are likely similar to Salzburg game. Let's watch out for the second leg, because the Bayern Munich I know, are good in terms of pattern of football. Although, Villarreal are the first team to beat Bayern Munich this season in the champions league with a thrilling 1-0 victory at the estadio de la ceramica, in Spain.

Villarreal's capital for the second leg later is very small because Villarreal was only able to score one goal against Bayern Munich in the first leg and it's clearly not safe for Villarreal in the second leg because Bayern Munich have extraordinary abilities this season even though in the end only determined by luck, but on paper I am super sure that Bayern Munich will win and qualify for the second leg later.

Bayern is not in an advantageous position, in fact for Villareal many opportunities are not just once. To make more than 1 goal if they really take advantage of the fragile condition of Bayern Munich players. Seen when the game Muller and Lewandowsky played quite badly. Playing at home should be an opportunity to equalize if you don't want to be humiliated by Villareal.

Of course, they are not in an advantageous position, in fact, I think it was a big mistake that they could not score a goal in this match. I do not underestimate Villarreal, they are a good team, but Bayern is a much better team and they should not have given such an opportunity to their opponent.
If we watch an unlucky Bayern playing like this in the next match, they will already be finished and they will not be able to pass the round

[püsür]

Diaz's style and pace of play show that he is a true Liverpool player. Dynamic, moving and finishing... Kloop makes a point in the transfer. This is the age of football that based on tactical intelligence, led by Kloop and Pep. And I think it's much more efficient in terms of the talents of the players.

It is very clear that Salah has not recovered after losing the African cup and being eliminated in the World Cup qualifiers. Liverpool probably will advance. On the other hand, if Bayern comes, it will be the match of the two teams with the most intense and fast tempo. I hope we can watch Liverpool Bayern games.

Do you mean in Real Madrid? Of course, no other CF is better or as good as Benzema. That's why Real Madrid needs to sign a new CF, to anticipate when Benzema is injured or plays underperformance. This situation is very possible to happen since the season lasts many months.

Yes he is a mainstay of Madrid, there has not been a striker who has been able to play like him in the madrid squad this season. His goal against Chelsea was very good, even I was very amazed. Even when Madrid lost Benzema they were very difficult to score. That was already evident in previous Madrid matches. Benzema is 34 years old and it's not young anymore so I agree with you. Not only is Benzema Modric also old, it's Anceloti's job so that they don't have the same fate as Barcelona.

[Fesatmas]

To tell the truth now, I'm thinking over Villarreal's semi final chance quite seriously. I'm one hundred percent aware of the fact that Bayern Munich are a way more difficult opponent than Juventus for them. Bayern Munich can be very deadly at scoring goals in their home games as you all know already. Villarreal defense will have a big responsibility against them to keep them away from their goal as much as possible. They like to play for wearing their opponents out in this kind of games. And we will see all together whether they will succeed.

Villarreal must strengthen their defense and not give the Bayern Munich players the opportunity to create the slightest gap. Because if they can make a chance I'm very sure that Bayern Munich will be able to take it. We know that Bayern Munich is a team with a lot of strategy, their play from all positions can be relied on. Will Villarreal defend totally, or try like they did in the first leg.

I understand what @Rengga Jati means, who doesn't seem to care about age due to the fact that older players playing in the Madrid squad can still put in a good performance so far. The problem is about CF or the striker in question and not about age, so far Madrid have really relied on Benzema to score goals or it can be said that Madrid need another striker so they don't always rely on Benzema. I think that when Benzema was not in the match, it was already proven that it was difficult for Madrid to score goals, even more so beforehand it was proven that Madrid lost heavily by Barcelona in La Liga. So yes, it is time for Real Madrid to have other players or second-tier players given more time to play because to achieve achievements like Benzema takes more time.

You know, I can see that Chelsea played very well despite their defeat, apparently the events around them have really affected their morale. I don't know how the circumstances will play out in the return match, but it will be extremely difficult to beat Real Madrid by two goals, let alone scoring three unanswered goals to avoid extra time, in which they are likely to concede

If Chelsea can score one goal in the first half to bring the score 2-3 on aggregate, they may be able to push for one more goal in the second half and force the game into extra time, but it won't be easy because we're playing away.

It reminds me the joke that "if my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike". Sure, if Chelsea finds a goal before half time, they could go for another goal, if they find another one, then they can try for another, or if they score 3 goals on first half they could just park the bus.

Basically there are many "if" scenarios before the game starts, we could have Real scoring another goal on first half and making it quite impossible task for Chelsea to score 3 on top of that, not impossible but close. This is why we can't really know what will happen in the short term, we just need to watch and see. I am not saying Chelsea can't win, it is just that it could be quite difficult.

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich can obviously be a really interesting match because both the teams are really strong. Considering the recent form of both the teams I think some will say that Liverpool is a little ahead of Bayern Munich. Considering that Bayern Munich did not have the best season can be the reason for this judgment.

Luis Díaz is obviously a great player and in modern football, it seems like pace is a big factor for every player and he certainly has that in my opinion. and that also helps Liverpool because they are a team that plays Fast football.

[maju69]

The match between Bayern Munich vs Villarreal is an interesting match to see the final result. Because unexpectedly the team that was the favorite to win the match actually lost in the first leg. Bayern Munich will definitely go all out to avenge his defeat with a total attack. Villarreal have to be careful with them, because in the round of 16 they also performed superbly in the second leg.

[onetwostep]

Benzema played excellent football and scored a hat trick, Real Madrid was able to win the game thanks to 2 goals in 3 minutes. Actually, Chelsea also had a lot of good scoring chances, but they weren't very good at scoring goals. They took 20 shots and scored only one goal. If they had been a little luckier, there wouldn't have been such a difference. They have conceded too many goals at home

Beside with perfect performance from Karim Benzema with hattrick I think several save did Thibaut Courtois make Real Madrid just loss 1 goals only and have benefit with 2 goals on second leg, I think Real Madrid have opportunity lead to semi final Champion League on this season with second leg just draw or loss under 2 goal. I hope Real Madrid keep consistent on second leg match actually always have bigger motivation when playing match as home and we still remember with how come back from Real Madrid when success defeated PSG on 16 round. Just keep consistent for second leg and try with defensive and attractive games play how to make Chelsea on pressure less chance create.

Of course, not conceding a goal is as important as scoring a goal in a match, goalkeepers have a big job here. Not only Benzema's scoring did not win the match, his high defensive performance and the goalkeeper's saves were also very important here.

I have been quite outspoken about Karim Benzema being lucky in the match against PSG but I have to agree that he is in great form right now and it was obviously not all about luck. 

He is already 34 years old. At his age, he is pulling out hat tricks after hat tricks. This is just really unbelievable to watch. I can only imagine what would happen if when Benzema will not be there for Real Madrid and that's why I think they really need to sign a center forward who is as good if not better.

It was quite surprising to find out that Bayern Munich lost to Villarreal with a score of 1 - 0, but, are you sure that in the second leg Bayern Munich will get a draw or even lose?

I don't think it makes sense, I firmly believe that we will see Bayern Munich play like a monster in the second leg, and that will be a challenge for Villareal. Will Villareal use a bus parking formation in the second leg like Atletico Madrid?

Benzema's goals are the main reason for Real Madrid's victory. Then I will say that the Real Madrid defender and the goalkeeper's performance was good and so they got a beautiful 3-1 win. The main weakness of Real Madrid is that they rely on Benzema to score. However, their midfield and defense are strong enough. However, Real Madrid's match strategy was awesome. This is also one of the reasons for their victory.

If I may asked, what was the strategy they used, Real Madrid didn't play that good like in other champions league game that they have won. It was just a bad day for the Chelsea players as they weren't doing it right as they usually do. Look at the last goal, Rudiger could have easily cleared that ball out but no he decided to go for power and the ball fell in the path of benzema and been a man on form, you don't expect him to miss that.

It would be difficult for Chelsea to get their comeback and progress to the semi finals. Assuming the game ended at 2-1 then their would had been more hopes but currently (even the coach) doesn't believe the boys can upset Real Madrid at home to progress.

Counter attack strategy and aerial ball was what Madrid used to conquer chelsea, if you look at the third it was really amazing how benzema started chasing the ball from that far and got it, Rudiger was to be blamed for the third goal, he ought to have slide the ball, but instead he thought benzema was a player he could bully with his body, its all over, would have dreamed of a comeback for chelsea if only they had some serious players

This is not new to Bayern Munich, they may not perform in the first leg especially if it is an away match, but Villareal having just 1 goal is still nothing, even having 2 goals does not still determine if the club will qualify for semi final. Bayern are too good at home with surprises, Villarreal needs to be training like to make sure Bayern did not win the second match, but the chance that Bayern will qualify for the semi final is highly likely than Villareal to quify.

Exactly, Bayern will play like a monster is what we are expecting and repeat the past success as usual.
