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

[abhiseshakana]

Real Madrid was lucky with Benzema's goal, here again Benzema is the determinant of Madrid qualification to the next round. Chelsea's error did not take an advantage of 90 in the first leg, the score 1-3 at Stamford Bridge made Chelsea have to fight hard in the second leg, but Real Madrid again showed its quality as a king of the Champions League.

It's not simply about luck. Real Madrid did not give up, they fighted strongly and deserved with the final result. Chelsea can do better but in football, in the end, we have only one winner. So one go next and one will be out.

Benzema has an amazing season in the end of his career. It's so good for him to become the biggest star in Bernabeu after the transfer of Ronaldo to Juventus a few years ago.

In my opinion, it's not just luck either, because when Real Madrid trailed 3-0 to Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti had a strategy by playing Rodrygo and Marcelo and this strategy paid off well, where Rodrygo managed to score 1 goal and make the match must be decided in extra time. The persistence of the Real Madrid players got a good achievement when Benzema scored the decisive goal in extra time.

After yesterday's matches, you can't be sure of anything. But I think both English clubs will win today. In any case, Benfica will not win against Liverpool. Atletico Madrid will of course try to create problems for Manchester City, but I do not think they can win even on home field.

Football matches can happen beyond predictions, but in fact only clubs that have great players, the right strategy applied by the coach and great experience is more prominent and can be guaranteed to win in the match, Manchester City are more likely to win the match, but Atletico Madrid definitely will change the game scheme, defending is their style every game, but this time I'm sure they will be a little open in attack, because one goal down is not too big to change the situation

[superman184]

Score 3 goals at Anfield just like mission impossible for Benfica so their chance is very small go to semi-final although miracle can be happend but it is hard for them to realized it and in my view Liverpool might be will win but with slim score and actually Liverpool facing tight schedule this weekend because after this match they will play against Man City again for FA Cup semi-final so possibly they will play with several reserved players today

I personally predict Liverpool will lose but go through anyway, losing 1-0 is very possible. Because it's not just now, it seems that in my memory Liverpool have often had results like this in the past too, winning the first leg but losing the second leg but sometimes still qualifying and not. So I think this time maybe it will happen as well or with a draw, because in the previous match against Inter also got a result like that.

I don't think so because Benfica is not that strong compared to Liverpool, Benfica will play attacking because they are behind Agg and so it's very likely that when two teams play openly and attack it will benefit the team that has better quality and that is what Liverpool have, I think Liverpool will again be able to win this 2nd leg match.

[cryptofrka]

I agree with the opinion that Real's victory is a mentality thing. They have shown it time and time again - whenever you think they are beaten, they start playing their best football. What to say about Modrić though? That outside foot pass for Benzema is out of this world.

I kinda felt Villarreal might be problematic for Bayern - I said it here as well after the draw. Liverpool will be really happy with their draw - fortune favors us this season.

We might get to the CL final over Inter, Benfica and Villarreal - you cannot have it any easier. But let's first do our jobs tonight - although I feel there is a 0% chance of a Benfica upset.

[Furious 7]

Liverpool is almost in next round, I would call that they are, but looking at what happened in Madrid, maybe Benfica could do some shit as well
City is favored by bookies, but it is with a reason, Atletico does not play good when on pressure to attack, and they will go down tonight

it would be too much to see three La Liga teams in semi-final, looking to two-two between La Liga and Premier

Actually, I don't believe that Benfica will cause too many problems for Liverpool. Liverpool has already got a healthy lead and I do expect them to win in the second leg also regardless of the aggregate score. Liverpool could not get a win against Manchester City in their last match in the English Premier League and I think they will be really determined to win this match.
Atletico Madrid is already behind and I don't expect them to win in the second leg. Don't think they will be able to overcome the odds.

They will be difficult now because indeed Benfica have lost quite a lot to Liverpool and even though they provide good enough pressure it is difficult to score 2 goals for them especially playing at Anfield now.
Hopefully there will be an exciting match in this match like Madrid's match with Chelsea yesterday.
although this is indeed quite difficult because it is certain that Liverpool will continue to dominate

[minairia3]

Villarreal's gameplay and tactics were very annoying. They are very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals. In both matches, we have seen the dominance of Bayern Munich's players. Bayern Munich's players have ruled in both matches.

Villareal deserve the aggregated win against Bayern. They did challenged Bayern a lot in both legs and the very late equalizer in the second leg means the end for Bayern. Bayern actually have a good match yesterday but they made very inaccurate shots that give hope for Villareal. Bayern can not destroy Villareal even they created so many opportunities. In the end, Villareal had a very good counter attacking and scored the equalizer that is enough for them. A few minutes left were not enough for Bayern to do anything.

Villarreal's main task was to repel the attack. However, Villarreal's goalkeeper Rulli's performance in both matches was very commendable. Villarreal's ability to qualify for the semi-finals is largely due to his outstanding performance.

Villareal and Real Madrid have done their works so impressive. Now it's the turn of Athletico Madrid and their opponent is Manchester City. Let's see whether Champions League will be dominated by La Liga clubs in the semi-final round.

It was really surprising to see that Villareal actually managed to advance to the next stage. I never thought in a million years that they would be able to do that when they have a team like Bayern Munich in front of them. I have to say well done to them. But I have to say I expected better from Bayern Munich, even though it looks like they have dominated the match I think they should have come out as the winners.

Real Madrid has also done really well and I was really impressed to see that Chelsea was able to get a lead in the second leg but Real Madrid came back strongly to win that match. Once again Karim Benzema comes to their rescue.

Yes, the both teams will win today match because their last match performance was an excellent. Liverpool team will not allow Benfica team to achieve a goal from today match than  to keep the winning till they achieve the title of this season. Manchester City will not allow Atletico Madrid to use home advantage to defeat them today than to use their normal strategies to defeat them 2:0 to improve their points.

Liverpool will play at home, with their advantage in the 1st leg of course in this 2nd leg they will play more relaxed and confident. Benfica also has quality under Liverpool, I'm sure Liverpool will be able to win again in this match.

on the other hand Man City will travel to Atletico Madrid headquarters and with the quality and performance of Man City in the 1st leg I am sure Man City will win again in this match. even I believe they will win by a big score of 2-0 or 3-0 because Atletico will not play defensively again like the first leg and it will be very profitable for Man City who have better quality than Atletico.

[Altryist]

Even 3-0 for chelseaI was very disappointed, maybe Madrid would have lost. But when they get 1 goal I'm quite optimistic. Even when madrid was able to add a goal from a combination of Vinicius jr's and Benzema. To be honest in the second goal Benzema was lucky because Rudiger slipped a little so he didn't keep Benzema optimal. The goal was very good, Benzema's head was very effective through the Chelsea goal at the time away or playing at the Bernabeu. Furthermore, the semifinals will be separated by two weeks, of course Madrid will now focus on the League in order to remain ranked first until the end of the season.

Benzema's head helped Real Madrid reach the semi-finals. When the score was 0-3 to Chelsea I couldn't believe that Tuchel could achieve such a result at the Santiago Bernabeu and I kept waiting for Real Madrid to start scoring because they couldn't lose a clean at home. Benzema saved Real Madrid again, I think everyone will agree that he took Real Madrid to the semi-finals. I think that they will have to meet with City and they will not be able to get into the final, Liverpool and City will be play in the final.

[KTChampions]

Real was able to put the squeeze on Chelsea and reached the semi-finals. Benzema said his word and it turned out to be decisive - in this confrontation he scored 4 goals!  
Meanwhile, there are already two Spanish teams in the semi-finals, hardly anyone expected to see at least one before the start of the playoffs. I hope tomorrow we expect no less intense matches.

The end was very stressful and Real Madrid are now really through. Everything is comparable to the struggle of both parties, even though Chelsea have also shown their best performance. Benzema became a savior for the umpteenth time for Madrid.

Congratulations to those who bet. lol

Throughout the game the two clubs almost did not show a decrease in attack rhythm. Put pressure on each other. Tuchel was also hit by the card, he's very aggressive, and there's definitely a chance for next season. let Real Madrid celebrate this victory.

Unfortunately next season for Chelsea will not be determined by sporting performance, which are undoubtedly good, but by the whole situation with Abramovich, who is removed from ownership of the club.
Benzema is great. Now many understand that a year ago, Ronaldo, speaking about the fact that Benzema deserves the golden ball, did not say this in order to deprive Messi of another golden ball, but was simply objective.

I think that they will have to meet with City and they will not be able to get into the final, Liverpool and City will be play in the final.

Of course, it will be a tough task for Real Madrid if Manchester City become their opponent in the quarter-finals, but it is still uncertain considering that Manchester City must ensure that they qualify for the next round against Atletico Madrid.

I think the England final will most likely be repeated this season and if Manchester City and Liverpool get there it will be a great final. But of course Liverpool and Manchester City have to make sure they get through to the quarter-finals today and are only thinking about the semi-finals, maybe easy for Liverpool against Villareal but difficult for Manchester City because Real Madrid are the opponents.

Liverpool will win comfortably at Anfield with two goals as an added advantage, I don't think Benfica can get any result from the encounter considering the in-formed Liverpool side that had performed brilliantly well in the league.
Meanwhile the match between Atletico Madrid and Man City is dicey to me though the visitors has a goal advantage however their host will come out and play attacking football just like what Chelsea did against Real Madrid yesterday, it's going to be a difficult match for Man City.

[$crypto$]

After last night made a failed match in my bet, Bayern Munich must fail to draw Villareal which in my mind maybe Bayern Munich can win at home to Allianz but it was beyond expectation.

Same thing with Real Madrid vs Chelsea is still beyond prediction again, but Real Madrid is still lucky and Benzema as a savior to qualify.



Okay, this time I believe more in the English league team that can win it, Liverpool might be a little easier to play at Anfield which can spark another victory.

Although Mancity will be more difficult to play away I think that's the most correct guess for Mancity at the moment.

But the more interesting game remains Atletico Madrid vs Mancity.

[hd49728]

Unfortunately next season for Chelsea will not be determined by sporting performance, which are undoubtedly good, but by the whole situation with Abramovich, who is removed from ownership of the club.

Chelsea will have an uncertain chaotic transfer ahead. Ownership might be changed which will cause a lot of changes in the club. At least, they can proud of themselves about what they have done in this season and in last 2 decades. They have gradually made up their good reputation in Champions League. In the Europe, any big team play with Chelsea knows that they are playing against a big one.

Benzema is great. Now many understand that a year ago, Ronaldo, speaking about the fact that Benzema deserves the golden ball, did not say this in order to deprive Messi of another golden ball, but was simply objective.

Benzema has a best season personally in his career. The season is better than previous ones when Benzema is younger. What he shows in Champions League knock-out matches show that he has a higher level than Haaland or Mbappe. Of course, those young star players can improve themselves and be better. In addition, Benzema will not be able to avoid ageing effects. He soon will be replaced by younger players but for now and in next couple of seasons, he is the best or one of the best strikers in Europe.

[aylabadia05]

One English club has made it to the semifinal level. One club from Spain has also qualified for the semifinals.
There is still one club from England and from Spain who will struggle to ensure themselves to qualify for the semifinals.

Liverpool are championed to qualify easily when facing Benfica at Anfield, but if you look at the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match yesterday, then Benfica could be difficult for Liverpool later because Benfica feels that they will not qualify again so that it can have an impact on their players' game to play without burden.

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City will be a match that will provoke the emotions of the supporters of both teams tonight because Atletico Madrid will definitely want to beat Manchester City in front of their own supporters.

[Slow death]

I admit that I am surprised by yesterday's results. Bayern, despite dominating most of the game, conceded a goal at the very end of the game. It was Villareal's only shot on target in the match. Real's promotion is no surprise for me, but the circumstances are. I didn't believe Chelsea would be able to fight for the promotion, but  was really close to eliminating the rivals.

the sad and regrettable part is the defeat of Bayern. they are a very strong team but as I had already commented on this that in recent times Bayern have created a habit that when they play against very weak teams they tend to lose the game, this can be seen in the bundesliga and their luck is that in the bundesliga they have a big difference in points with the rest of the teams. about chelsea, well they could have won the game they were just unlucky, i particularly as a real madrid fan i was satisfied with the result. the problem will now be:

Will Real Madrid have a chance to win the next game?


today we have a big game:

City - Atletico Madrid

Well, for this game Atletico will have no choice, they will have to play on the attack to be able to recover the damage, meanwhile City will also have to play on the attack so they can score 1 goal, after that they will only need to play in defense. It will be an interesting game to watch

Benfica - Liverpool

benfica's biggest problem is in the defense, they have a good attack, but they have a bad defense and liverpool have a good attack and defense, and a game one that liverpool will win

[Sterbens]

I think the England final will most likely be repeated this season and if Manchester City and Liverpool get there it will be a great final. But of course Liverpool and Manchester City have to make sure they get through to the quarter-finals today and are only thinking about the semi-finals, maybe easy for Liverpool against Villareal but difficult for Manchester City because Real Madrid are the opponents.

The Champions League is starting to clear up and we now have easily anyone who will enter with the quality they deserve. Clubs that are growing stronger and increasingly showing their existence are still owned by Man City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid. The three clubs are worthy candidates to compete with each other for a special place in the Champions League.

[Odusko]

I believe in the ability of Atletico Madrid ability I know there may not win today's match as their playing against a big club infect the number one club on the premier league table and playing against the..in the champion league qualifier stage is a big deal but if Atletico Madrid can make an early goal score and thereafter lock, the back with a step g defense there may luckily win but if Manchester City makes early goal score against them or may also result in the club total lose out.

[Lordhermes]

Tonight game is going be unpredictable for both teams. Athletico Madrid will host the English side at the estadio Wanda  Metropolitano. City are already leading 1-0 in the first leg, Diego Simeon may surprised Pep Guardiola with a tough game. Although city may absolved what ever the home team pull out. One good news about city is that Pep is not playing a defensive football because his formation against Athletico club is 4-3-3. While Simeon is playing a 3-5-2 formation. The game would be tough for Athletico Madrid because city pattern of play is attacking football and what Athletico team is good at is defensive football.

I think we will be able to see another match between Liverpool and Manchester City in the semi final. Both are worthy to win in this season. Real Madrid is playing also good but I think they will not be able to play final this season.
