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

[ShowOff]

We'll see later we will see a surprise from Villareal even many people take this for granted but I can't ignore this, however Villareal have made it difficult for Bayern Munich twice in the quarter-finals, I expect a match like yesterday that was more exciting to watch.
Liverpool do have the ability above, but in the Champions League it will be different they will be like aggressive that is never controlled.

I don't think we will see any surprises in this game, Villareal will lose more goals than Liverpool in my opinion. Villarreal can defend well in the previous 2 match against Bayern Munchen, but Klopp is a different coach which makes me think Liverpool will be easy to overcome Villareal's defense today.

I just want to see Liverpool win the match and they will also I hope to be in the final this season. For predictions, I think 3-1 is a good result for the first Liverpool vs Villareal match.

Liverpool must be careful when facing Villarreal later in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool is considered a premier league club that will enter the final round because their journey in Europe's highest competition is very promising, but Villareal can make that guess disappear if Liverpool are not careful.
After stepping into the semifinals, the Villareal coach carried out a mission to reach the final round.

I don't think there's any reason for Liverpool to underestimate Villarreal, moreover, this is the semifinals. So whoever the enemy is, Liverpool will surely face it with all their might. Villarreal's achievement in La Liga is not too fantastic, but their performance in the Champions League is quite good. I think they were able to reach the Semifinals not only by luck because they managed to beat Man United and Bayern Munich.

In this first leg, Liverpool will still be the favourites because when it's viewed from the composition of players and team performance, Liverpool is still superior to Villarreal plus Liverpool will play at home.

from any consideration, Liverpool will remain the favorite. the bookie makes better Liverpool Odds. many predictions Liverpool can win easily. Villarreal is not so good in La Liga, not many would bet on their win.
but looking at the result with Munich, we certainly have to learn not to focus too much on statistics. there is a possibility that the difficulties experienced by Munich when facing Villarreal will also be experienced by Liverpool. because in the field there will always be a team that gives a surprise.

Liverpool will probably be seeded in this match.  Evidently, the Reds continue to consistently win in various competitions, currently they have a complete composition of players in all lines.  But even so Villarreal is not a team that can be underestimated, the success of the team nicknamed the Yellow Submarine qualifying for the semifinals after successfully defeating the winning candidate team Bayern Munich.  Liverpool should be aware of this.  Not only that, Villarreal's success also cannot be separated from the cold hands of Unai Emery.

Yesterday's game was a real spectacle. I saw a completely different Manchester City than against Atletico Madrid. There they even had 11 against 10 men and they almost lost that. It seemed like a completely different team yesterday. Normally they also have a high level just like yesterday. Casemiro will be there again next week, which will make a huge difference. There were quite a few holes in the defence. City could also have been leading 4-0. It could go either way next week. Benzema is really a genius.

[hyudien]

Although Villareal had beaten Juventus and Bayern, but I have to say Liverpool is different and I dont think there is no chance for Villareal to win today in Anfield. 
Buf if you think that Villareal will continue to make surprise, you should bet on them with quite high odds.
I do not dare to bet on Villareal but maybe it is worth enough to bet few bucks on them just in case a miracle happen again.
Average odds for Villareal to win the match is around 9.5

I would have made up my mind to keep dropping the bet on Liverpool, maybe it would be great if some people have such strong faith in Villareal. But as you said Liverpool will still win. That's still my biggest hope until Legs 1 and 2 can be fully controlled. Liverpool's potential for victory can be more balanced when later in the Final.

[D-law]

Who can recall Villarreals coach Emery won both Jurgen Klopp and  Liverpool during his days at Sevilla the score was three goals over Liverpool which they had one goal and that was in a final.
Can this be repeated once more in the Champions League, they both have won their previous games without the opposite side scoring a single goal.
They're keeping clean in this game,I am thinking this game will end with the both side taking one point each.

That's still my biggest hope until Legs 1 and 2 can be fully controlled. Liverpool's potential for victory can be more balanced when later in the Final.

This is a pretty good choice in my opinion, even though Villarreal are currently in the eyes of other clubs because they managed to become dark horses, but indeed their chance to fight Liverpool is quite small which makes it quite difficult for Villarreal to fight.
Right now I really want to see how Emery defends but when I look at Liverpool's line-up now I'm quite doubtful about it

Villarreal is not a team that should be underestimated by Liverpool in the match, although Villarreal is not as strong as a real Madrid but they have a mission by getting points at least holding a draw with Jurgen Klopp's men like they did at Bayern Munich even though on paper Liverpool are favorites to win easily but Villarreal don't have the slightest burden so it will be a disaster for Liverpool if they don't take over the game from the start because Villarreal will play a little more defensively like they did in the match against.Unai Emery knows how to deal with Jurgen Klopp especially they often meet in the competition Europe

We have left a great night behind thanks to the great efforts by Manchester City and Real Madrid both. I wasn't expecting such a high-scoring game to tell the truth here. After Manchester City scored two goals in a very short time period, I started to think that Manchester City would win it by 3-1 or so the most. But Real Madrid made me surprised a lot. Because they didn't start well to the game and their defending style was really poor. I didn't like Militao at all especially. But they somehow managed to cover their weakness by being very effective in their attacking line. And it brought them a 4-3 score at the end.

And tonight, I hope to watch another enjoyable game between Liverpool and Villarreal. There is no need to watch 7 goals or so.    I would like to see a great competition between them and it would be enough for me. But I feel like Liverpool will dominate the game from the beginning to the end.

Unlike yesterday, I'm looking forward to a high-scoring match and I hope to see a lot of goals. Yesterday, as a Real Madrid fan, it was a hard evening for me and a waste of nerves  today I plan to relax and enjoy a beautiful game, so if suddenly I see a modest score like 0-0 or 1-0, I will be really upset. With all due respect to Villarreal, I think Liverpool will be able to crack their defense.

[RealMalatesta]

I think Villareal deserves to be able to win if they continue to show a performance that is still improving. There's nothing wrong with betting, especially if the odds are quite high, it's worth it. I will not doubt the potential of Villareal, even though many favor Liverpool in this match. In this case, Villareal has the ideal opportunity to show that they have quality players to match Liverpool.

Deserves to win is something else than actually being able to win. Liverpool is such a huge team and such a great roster that I wouldn't be shocked if they win like 4-0 or something because that is how good they are. I mean Villareal went to penalties against Manchester United just last year, and Liverpool won against them 4-0 and 5-0 this year. Sure, it's different season, but I am sure that it should be providing proof that Liverpool is much much much better.

I have to say this doesn't make Villareal a bad team, they are still a great team, they would be losing in the semi-finals which is a great deal for them, they should be quite proud to be here let alone losing to a club that may win it all in the end.

Real Madrid really had a bad start from the first 30mninutes or thereabouts, but in the course of play their lapses we're correct which brought them to a  4:3 score line, even though City missed a lot of chances.

As for the game between Liverpool  and Villarreal, I don't see much goals emanating from this very game tonight, but I believe the Reds would definitely  dominate the game although Villarreal won't be that easy to penetrate but definitely Liverpool will win the game tonight.

I think expecting such a performance like that of yesterday in today's fixture will be overly demanding of the Villarreal and Liverpool, I won't expect Villarreal to be able to live up to match against Liverpool. They've got the what it takes, and eliminating Bayern Munich and Juventus in successive rounds is definitely no fluke, but Liverpool would also be wary of the threat.

I'll take Liverpool for a 2-0 win  

[diderdrogba]

I can't say that Villarreal deserve to win this game. Because the game hasn't even started yet above all else.    We will observe the teams to determine what side is playing better and then we can say such thing. And I think that Liverpool won't let them have too much chance against themselves in Anfield. We all know how great they perform in their home games. This would be one of those games I think. Villarreal will try to wear them out by a solid defense and they will look for some counter-attacks. But I think Liverpool would still manage to win.

[Vinaa77]

Liverpool vs Villareal, will it end with hope like my bet on Man City yesterday. Because Villareal would basically be unpredictable which made me take the bet for Liverpool. Maybe this will be a slightly dubious bet because Villareal's performance so far in the Champions League is truly unpredictable. I wish Liverpool all the best and don't waste this opportunity to take a safe position early.

Villareal is the biggest surprise in Champions League and they have nothing to lose after all. Furthermore, with all surprise they made so far, nobody can under estimate Villareal. They can make another surprise in semi final against Liverpool because we know Champions League especially in knock out rounds, contains space and chance for surprise.

In history, we see some small clubs participate in final matches like Porto, Monaco and more. It does not usually happen but sometimes we can witness it. Liverpool have enough strength and experience there to beat Villareal but it only works if they will play with their best and won't make mistakes which might be taken by Villareal.

Right now Liverpool are the perfect team, the Reds are the favorites and are strong candidates to go further in this tournament, they have a complete squad.  Then Liverpool also carries the ambition to win the Quadruple this season, one of which is the target of winning the Champions League.  But despite being seeded, Jurgen Klopp really appreciates Unai Emery.

[fzkto]

I don't know how Liverpool will play Villarreal tonight, but it will probably be either an English or Spanish final. Villarreal have managed to beat Bayern and Juventus. Let's see if they can beat Liverpool tonight. I think that after the Europa League championships they are very keen to become Champions League champions.

[Sterbens]

People are starting to get excited in the next few minutes. In half an hour we will watch Liverpool's 1st Leg match against Villareal. There have been many who have favored their respective choices. So I think it will be interesting, although yesterday's match Manchester City vs Real Madrid finished quite dramatically. This match will also be more fun where Villarreal will appear aggressive. Honestly, I expected Liverpool to win by a high score.

[darxiaomi]

I dont know what to spect this night, because Liverpool its clearly superior but,  Nayerns was in the papers superior to Villarreal and we see how that ends.
In other hand Villarreal its really good and fast making counterattacks so maybe the Liverpool have to take care of this plays.

I seriously underrated Villarreal in the previous stage of the Champions League when they played Bayern Munich. I wrote them off when the draw was announced. They managed to win Bayern in the first leg and yet I wasn't impressed. I was still underrating them that Bayern will make a big come back against them.
I was surprised that Bayern did nothing in the end.
And it is Liverpool turn tonight and I know that Liverpool will do better. The Villarreal guys has a very strong defence and that is a very big advantage for them.

it is certain that two teams will put all their energy into being able to win the first leg of the champions league, so that they can see the second leg easily, I am also very optimistic that liferpol will be able to break into the villareal goal, the front line of liferpol must be filled by moh wrong, Sadio Mane and luis Diaz, Klopp's back line will play Vandjik, Arnold, Robertson and Ibrahim Konate, in the midfield it will most likely be filled by Thiago, Henderson and Naby Keita, I can't wait to watch the match,
My prediction is that Liferpol will win with a 3-1 suspension.

Like you, I did wrote them off too and even with the defeat of Bayern Munich in a game that ended Villarreal 2:1 Bayern Munich, Isti worth them off looking at the spry of team that Bayern Munich is and it was Bayern to play form a home side but still, Villarreal came out stronga nd didn't ho defensive on Bayern Munich, coordinated there team and gave them a game to remember, eventually evicting Bayern Munich. A shocking one actually but well deserved for sure.

Now, I guess I might be making the same mistake and I hope they prove it to me because, I'm writing them off on this one and my prediction is so in favour of Liverpool. Its hard to see Villarreal past Klopp as, Liverpool seems to be very much in form and would be putting everything in this game to get full advantage of the first leg. I would be watching out for what Villarreal would do to repel the Liverpool pressure as, Real Madrid did almost nothing to that of Manchester City yesterday and that was there mistake.
