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

[blackened515]

No need to doubt Liverpool is not a team that underestimates opponents I still remember when Liverpool won the first leg against Benfica
Then in the second leg Liverpool continued to play aggressively despite playing the second squad from here we know Liverpool never underestimate the opponent
The semifinals are one step ahead of winning the title Liverpool definitely don't want to make mistakes.

You are right. Liverpool usually takes all their matches very serious. And don't underestimate, Even if they are more stronger than their opponent. That's the mistake Bayern Munich made that resulted to them been kicked out of the Champions League. They underrated Villarreal, and thought they would have an easy winning. But, it turns out that they lost in the first leg, While Villarreal played the second leg with a solid defence, which made it extremely difficult for them to secure more goals, and ended up drawing the match. However, With Liverpool's current performance and squad. They are likely to win the CL title this season.

You are right. The main mistake of Bayern Munich was that they devalued the Villarreal team. Moreover, Villarreal was not in good form. So we all assumed the match would be one-sided and Bayern Munich would easily win. But Villarreal surprised everyone by showing their match strategy. If Liverpool want to win against Villarreal, they must be careful. And of course we have to keep our defense strong. However, Liverpool is an experienced team. They will make no mistake against Villarreal.

[D-law]

For the draw between Liverpool and Villarreal, I believe that Liverpool are very close to advancing to final round in the Champions League. Villarreal might not be that strong against them this time. Or I can put it this way: Liverpool would dominate the game in Anfield for certain. But as for the game in Spain, Villarreal would show a strong performance against them and wouldn't lose easily.

This is football anything can still happen, Villarreals coach had experience of the premier league and should know how and when to defend and attack.
I kind of want Villarreal to the next stage which is the finals. Winning against Bayern Munich is such a big win for me, this is the reasons I want them to move.
Maybe im not a Liverpool fan though they have had a great season with Klopp since he's arrival at Anfield.

Initially no one showed Villarreal able to beat one of the favorite teams to win this season. As is known, Bayern Munich is one of the best European teams with goals that often embarrass opponents. The success of Villarreal to get rid of Bayern Munich has made the yellow submarines qualify for the ULC semifinals in the last 16 years.
As an unseeded team in the Champions League, Villarreal have appeared quite impressive since the Group stage. Liverpool should not underestimate the strength of Villarreal, because in the round of 16 Villarreal also got rid of Juventus 4-1 on aggregate.

[Gosgosking]

To be honest for me Villarreal are really a very strong team, after they got rid of Juventus, I think Villarreal were lucky. But after Villarreal got rid of
Bayern, I started to change my view of Villarreal. Beating two strong teams has proven that Villarreal is a team that Liverpool cannot underestimate.

You are right, bro. After they defeated 2 strong teams (Juventus and Bayern), Liverpool must be very careful to prepare a proper strategy against Villareal. This team is weak in La Liga but strong in UCL, Villareal probably prioritizes more to get a better result in UCL. Everyone must be so surprised to see how Villareal beat the favorite teams, especially Bayern. They have a good coach and their players seem to have extra energy when they are playing in UCL. If Liverpool underestimates this team, they may be eliminated as well.

Villarreal has done well in two their games they have played with Bayern and Juventus,  their performance has been a Great surprise to this seeing them as weak team. I can't think if Villarreal  will still have such opportunity they had in their previous games against Liverpool.  Liverpool is a team I respect so much that are so conscious of their game.

It's really a very difficult match for us to know who will win, especially the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match, because both have the same chance to win. Meanwhile, for the Liverpool vs Villarreal match, I think many people will predict Liverpool will come out victorious, so if you look at the strength of these two teams, it should work that way unless Villarreal can give something surprising like when they got rid of Bayern Munich.

Yes, it's really interesting for the Champions League at this time because a club like Manchester City, which has not experienced the Champions League title at all, meets a club that has won many Champions League trophies, namely Real Madrid.
So obviously it will be very interesting to wait for this match because two great clubs with a myriad of different experiences are competing in this Champions League.

in terms of quality, Man City and Real Madrid are almost equal, even this season Man City is more consistent, but Real Madrid's mentality is higher when playing on the UCL stage, it will be very difficult indeed both have the same opportunity to qualify for the final.
while in other matches Liverpool are the favorites to beat Villarreal but it is also possible that Villarreal can surprise again.

[wiss19]

There is nothing wrong with your prediction but you know how Villarreal reached the semi-finals they are really full of struggle
They wouldn't pass up such an opportunity after all. Another note when reaching the semifinals there is no more favorite team because the strength of each team is almost the same other than that we can see from their journey to reach this stage.

Until now Villarreal is underdog for this season and after beating Bayern Munich they have fair chance but with current form of Liverpool I am feeling they have no chance for advancing into final because they are currently complete package and have very good target for all cups in their wallet for this season right now they already won EFL Cup and now reached into the FA Cup after ten years staying at second spot into Premier League and having semi-final against them it is amazing job for any team so with this all I am not allowing them to be in final now their race is already ended here, and they have done more than their ability which is good enough.

Liverpool's aggression and their attitude in current season is amazing and with this all four out of four titles are under their belt which could be historic season for them under Klopp because he managed them in amazing way for these titles.

I agree that Liverpool should not underestimate Villarreal in the semifinals because it could be fatal. Villarreal's background as Champions League winners will certainly not scare us Liverpool like what happened to Bayern Munich. Whoever will be the opponent, Liverpool will still serve well.
If for Villareal to reach the semifinals this year is a good record after years of not getting to this stage, then Liverpool will make this year the year to win the UCL.

For the draw between Liverpool and Villarreal, I believe that Liverpool are very close to advancing to final round in the Champions League. Villarreal might not be that strong against them this time. Or I can put it this way: Liverpool would dominate the game in Anfield for certain. But as for the game in Spain, Villarreal would show a strong performance against them and wouldn't lose easily.

Even where they are now is a feat for Villareal. I think Liverpool will eliminate them. There may even be two English teams in the final. Manchester City can knock out Real Madrid. In such a final, the chances of both teams would be equal. Let's see if Villareal can make another surprise and make it to the final.

Many football experts predict the grand final of Liverpool and Manchester City in the Champions League.
But those same football experts also predicted a sure victory for Bayern against Villareal, and they also said that Chelsea have no chance in return to Madrid, right? 
Villarreal have a very good defense and will be a very difficult opponent for Liverpool and Real have already shown this season in the Champions League that they are a cat with 9 lives and that they should never be written off.
Very uncertain and completely open semi-final matches await us, and the current inspiration and individual quality of the players will decide.

Individual qualities are needed but this time, the strategy and tactics used by the coach are important for the team. When it comes to individual skills then I think Bayern Munich are better than Villarreal but the facts? In fact, Villarreal are unbeaten by Bayern Munich. So now this is really going to show how the skills of the coach in formulating strategies and regarding the best coaches today, so I personally have no doubts about the quality of Pep and Klopp.

Somehow I couldn't eliminate Madrid in the final which I'm pretty sure Madrid will be there I just don't know who the opponent is, whether Liverpool or Villarreal
The opportunity for the EPL vs EPL team is certainly there and La Liga vs La Liga will be there too but it will be more interesting if EPL vs La Liga
Karim Benzema is the Top score candidate usually the winner always presents the top score

Actually not only the experts I think nobody thought those teams that actually got through in the next stage had any chance of qualifying. but obviously, we can see that football is a crazy game and crazy things can happen. actually, anyone is going to think Bayern Munich is going to win in a match against Villarreal. but that didn't happen and I think now Villarreal has the confidence to play like a top-tier team. But I obviously don't think they will be in the finals and I also expect Liverpool and Manchester City to be in the finals.

Manchester City winning Real Madrid is not going to be an easy feat, is such an even game between them but what I can guarantee is an entertaining games that comes with lot of tactics and skills,was happy to see Kevin Debruyne back in the squad in there game against Liverpool at the fa cup after fear he has gotten a serious injury that can keep him out for the semi final,it will be a pleasure seeing Kevin Debruyne battling with Luca modric at that midfield. And for Liverpool against Villarreal, I think Liverpool will be waiting in the final for either city or Real Madrid

Villarreal has certainly proved that they are not the underdog anymore and they can certainly play like a top tier team in the Champions League. People obviously have second thoughts about them but after they did end up beating Bayern Munich I think people should really believe that they have what it takes and I will not be surprised if I see Real Madrid and Villarreal in the final even though I think it is highly unlikely. the popular belief at the moment is Manchester City and Liverpool are going to be in the finals but I am starting to doubt that.

So obviously it will be very interesting to wait for this match because two great clubs with a myriad of different experiences are competing in this Champions League.

Now the problem is if villarreal beat any other team instead of Bayern Munich I think it would have been easy to predict that they are going to lose their next match but since they have beat Bayern Munich it is hard to say that they will lose in their next match.

Real Madrid has really surprised almost everyone. but I think it is Benzema who has been giving them the lifelines and without Benzema, there will not be able to go through to the finals. so, I will expect the opponent to somehow keep Benzema quiet.

I'm also more confident that Real Madrid will be able to advance to the Champions League final although Manchester City can also provide unexpected surprises because this is the Champions League where all the remaining clubs will do their best to win the Champions League this season.
However, because Real Madrid has always had more experience in the Champions League, I am more confident that Real Madrid will continue to survive until the final.

Villarreal has beaten Bayern Munich with strategy and tactics this club is very lucky, but Villarreal skills and tactics are still far below Liverpool when compared to Liverpool and their match will be plat at home to dominant Liverpool and the statistics will definitely be won by Liverpool.
Benzema has always been a savior for the club, from the past until now. Without that man Real Madrid is nothing

[Alanaz]

Well this is a basic assumption, don't forget when Bayern faced Villarreal almost everyone said this. I think it can be used as a lesson for Liverpool that Villareal is not an easy team to beat. Emery's strategy was really great and should be with them getting to the semi-finals I don't think there is any reason to underestimate Villarreal now

To be honest for me Villarreal are really a very strong team, after they got rid of Juventus, I think Villarreal were lucky. But after Villarreal got rid of
Bayern, I started to change my view of Villarreal. Beating two strong teams has proven that Villarreal is a team that Liverpool cannot underestimate.
Even though Liverpool had an extraordinary performance, if they underestimated Villarreal, they would have the same fate as Bayern. Emery's strategy
has proven to be effective in making it difficult for Bayern to score goals, even though we know Bayern are a very productive team. But Villarreal's
defense is so strong, finally made Bayern only able to score one goal when facing Villarreal in the two legs that were played. This is a lesson for Liverpool
to play more carefully against Villarreal, I agree Liverpool will have a hard time beating Villarreal. Even if Liverpool qualify for the final, they will only win
on aggregate by a single goal difference.

When I say they are a strong team I agree with that and they are in the Champions League is proof that they are a strong team and that is a fact.
but when they were in the Champions they were still given the nickname as dark horses, including today.
Liverpool's game with Bayern is almost similar, they always make a fast attack and play offensively in every game they run. Villarreal have definitely used the same strategy of holding back and playing defensively there and attacking when they have a good chance there.
