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

[fullhdpixel]

Winning this game will see Real Madrid attacking more in this game and if Pep Guardiola utilize this very well then he can win the game successfully.
It's all clear that Liverpool are already in the final, the likes of Danjuma and Chukwueze were all absent but present in that game.
That waa as a result of them defending ,if you they was creating chances and defending they should have had a goal in the match.

Pep is the perfect mastermind to counter teams who are overtly attacking. Madrid needs to attack, they lost the first game and they need a score and not like they can't find it. I am sure both teams will score in this game and wagering on that should be an easy bet, probably has very low odds as well.

But, the real deal is that if Real is fighting so hard to score, then their defense will be a bit higher, and their midfield will basically be around the box of City, which would allow city to pass quickly and go counter attacking and that means City will use the weakness of such tactics for their advantage and it will once again be a game with many goals.

I'm quite curious whether Madrid will be able to make a comeback at the Bernabeu like they did against PSG in the semifinals?
Because the comparison between Manchester City and PSG is very different in my opinion, even though PSG is filled with star players, but their coach experience in the Champions League is clearly very little, in contrast to Guardiola who has quite a lot of experience in the Champions League, besides that Manchester City  have played in a fairly competitive league and made them very skilled at getting out of every pressure in a match and if we compare it, it is certainly very different from PSG in Ligue 1.
I don't know whether to bet on PSG or Madrid because I think both teams have the same chance to win in the second leg match .

I still hope this happens, even though City are a pretty strong team now and have a super fast game but I still hope Madrid can come back now.

Madrid have now locked the La Liga trophy under their control, with this they should be able to focus more on the Champions League and this is different from City who still have to work hard in the domestic league.
Madrid should try to secure the midfield and play the ball more daring now. 1 goal is still quite a bit and it's still possible to come back

Real Madrid has just enjoyed the celebration of the 35th Spanish League champions.  This is a mental injection for Real Madrid players ahead of facing Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League.  Ancelotti, who has just become the first coach in the world to succeed in the five best leagues in the world, really hopes that his team will not lose focus after partying.  Madrid's opportunity is very open to go to the Final and of course the Madrid fans really hope that Los Blancos can juxtapose the La Liga title and the Champions League title.

it's possible to happen but the chances are very slim and also I can hardly believe that a miracle will happen because in terms of quality and game Villarreal are far behind Liverpool,

Don't forget they beat Bayern Munich in the previous round. If we are talking about the quality of players and their gameplay, Bayern Munich is very far far better than Villareal. Even we may claim that Bayern gameplay is a bit better than Liverpool. So why Villareal can beat Bayern? I don't say it is purely about the miracle, it is also about the strong intention and hard work done by Villareal players. If Villareal players can play again like when they played against Bayern Munich in Leg 2, I assume they will have a chance to beat Liverpool as well.

In terms of opportunities, both clubs still have a chance, even though Real Madrid lost 1-0 on aggregate, but because the number of goals in the first leg was quite a lot, this became Real Madrid's advantage, especially playing at home in the second leg, even though Manchester City also cannot be underestimated, they are at their best this season, Pep Guardiola has potential players for this season, for both clubs a small mistake will affect the result of the second leg match

My guess is that Manchester City will qualify for the final this season despite having to ensure victory at Bernabue. I think a draw is a fair enough result for the second leg, but Real Madrid are a team with good experience in the Champions League which no one can underestimate unless something happens to Benzema before the match or during the match.

The job of Guardiola and his team in the second leg is to win the game and I'm sure they can do that even though they didn't manage to maintain a big goal difference in the first leg. 4 goals in the first leg is a good thing to know that Real Madrid's defense is not good, so Manchester City will have to capitalize on it again in the second leg.

Nothing is impossible in the game of football. Sometimes the team performance is not always in good condition, even though it has been prepared long ago. That also applies to Liverpool, Villareal, Man City, and Real Madrid. Conditions on the ground are difficult to predict. Given that all clubs will give their best, I believe everything is really a quality club. Because of that, they were able to reach the semi-finals with a very extraordinary.

True , the all england final seems to be the ideal one.
real madrid might fight back at bernabeu but yeah my prediction pretty much the same as well as yours.. the draw is the best result for real madrid to get , and manchester city getting closer to get their first ever champions league trophy.

but .. yeah it won't be easy , the last time both met, liverpool put a lot of struggle in manchester city defense.

[Velvet78]

Liverpool - Villarreal matchup is still not finished maybe but it is almost finished. Villarreal are 2-0 behind now and it is going to be very difficult for them to qualify for the finale for sure. Villarreal will need to play like all-out attack or so to increase their chance to score the goals they need. I believe that they will score goal(s) too. But Liverpool would still be able to answer them in the same way and secure their advantage until the end.

I appreciate the people who predict this year's Champions League will be an all England final again. And I admit that is very likely to happen,
but I have a different opinion, I want Real Madrid to qualify for the final. For me Real Madrid this season has had a great performance,
not only have they just confirmed to be La Liga champions even though the La Liga competition is not over yet, but Real Madrid in the Champions
League competition appeared surprising and deserved to be the winner of the trophy.

After Real Madrid got rid of PSG and Chelsea, it made me even more convinced that Real Madrid could get rid of Man City. Moreover, we can see
the results of the match in the first leg, how Real Madrid struggles to score 3 goals against Man City is an amazing thing in my opinion, because
not many teams can score many goals against Man City. After all, Real Madrid only lost by one goal difference, so the chance to qualify for the final is
still open. But it's not easy to beat Man City, who have had an extraordinary performance this season. and also Man City must be desperate for their
first Champions League trophy. So the match was not easy for both teams, we will see who will qualify between Man City or Real Madrid.

It is better to be realistic at this point. I don't believe Villarreal have much chance left to advance to final round of the Champions League now. If Liverpool won by one goal or it ended in a draw, then maybe Villarreal would have a much bigger chance to do the same against Liverpool too. But as Liverpool won by 2-0, I'm counting them as very advantageous and already in final round. On the other hand, I don't have any confident assumption for the Real Madrid v Manchester City match. Both of them can qualify for the final but it is the truth that Real Madrid will need to perform better as they are behind by one goal now.

Villarreal play a very good defense and until the first, very happy goal of Liverpool, they were actually very good.
They have learned to defend and play counterattacks and now they have come to a situation they are not used to, and that is that they will have to attack and play openly.
It is clear that Liverpool will be the favorite in this match.
In the second game, Manchester City missed a great chance to beat Real with a much bigger goal difference, and now a very uncertain and exciting match awaits us.

I know that Villarreal has shown great performance against other teams in the Champions League but against Liverpool, they have not been able to play well in the first leg, and I believe they have lost their chance of going into the finals of the Champions League because Liverpool is not going to give away a comfortable to go lead just like that.

It is going to be really surprising if Liverpool actually loses against Villarreal in the second leg. I really don't think they have any chance against Liverpool right now. I am more interested in watching who will face Liverpool in the finals of the Champions League because only having 1 goal advantage against a team like Real Madrid is not enough when the second leg is going to be played in Santiago Bernabeu.

But Liverpool would still be able to answer them in the same way and secure their advantage until the end.

Villarreal is likely to be going out and not appearing is the finals with their latest loss to Liverpool Villarreal's future seems to be uncertain and requires strong intervention for them.to.make it to the next round bit every signal is pointing at the exit door for the club and they're kicked out of the champion league for this season. It will be more honorable for Villareal to just prepare harder next time and wish them the best of luck.

I think the maximum that Villarreal can do is to draw the match, but not by the total score, Liverpool are strong now and in their league there is a big chance that they cannot become champions, so they have to try at least here to reach the final, with the consequence of winning the Champions League. My fear is that we could be looking at an English final, with teams that have played each other in the league recently and to be honest I don't want that final...

[lulumiya]

The most difficult result to predict is going to be the result of the Real Madrid - Manchester City game obviously. Because the first game in Etihad ended by Manchester City's 4-3 lead. And Real Madrid will have no other choice than winning this by at least a one-goal difference to maintain their chance or eliminate their opponent directly. It is not impossible but it is quite hard. Manchester City are very strong now and they can still do their best not to lose this advantage.

That's true, but I think Real Madrid will also prepare more strategies for the second leg because Real Madrid have just celebrated winning Laliga this season and it would be great if Real Madrid could qualify for the final and win the Champions League trophy again this season.
I believe Real Madrid still has extra passion and strength for the Champions League match, especially for the second leg with Manchester City.

The real opponent for Manchester City will be the pressure of playing at the opponent's cage. Even though Pep Guardiola is very optimistic that his team will win the 2nd leg match against Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola also doesn't let his guard down. on the other hand Benzema who managed to score 2 goals in the last match commented optimistically that he and the team can win the match at home in the 2nd leg against manchester city. but not so with the Real Madrid coach. he is well aware of the Real Madrid defense that needs to be improved because for him to concede 4 goals is a bad thing. which indicates the lack of good defense of the team he trains.

Any team will experience pressure when playing at the opponent home, while what happened to Manchester City in this match was a little different, because they came to the Santiago Bernabeu as the winning team in the first leg. Pep Guardiola will of course evaluate his team in order to give their best at the Bernabeu, guarding Benzema is probably one of the best ways that Man City players can do in the second leg later. Pep Guardiola also has to improve their defensive line, conceding three goals in the first leg signaling danger for Man City. Moreover, Real Madrid will try to find goals from Man City to pursue a goal deficit as well as want to win a ticket to step into the final round.

yeah right conceding 3 goals is a problem that really needs to be fixed.

I can't wait to watch this match. I think this will be the most watched game of the week now.
On the one hand, I see Real Madrid are even more excited after yesterday's victory in LaLiga against Espanyol with a fantastic score of 4-0. I hope Manchester City doesn't let up. because we all know Real madrid always surprises in the 2nd leg.

That's true, but I think Real Madrid will also prepare more strategies for the second leg because Real Madrid have just celebrated winning Laliga this season and it would be great if Real Madrid could qualify for the final and win the Champions League trophy again this season.

Real Madrid is a winning mental team, both in La Liga and in European competitions.  The success of winning La Liga will further encourage the spirit of Real Madrid players to show their best performance in the second leg. The defeat in the first leg meant that Real Madrid had to find a goal at the start of the first half, so they could get out of the pressure. Manchester City also want to prove their quality this season, performing well in the Premier League makes Real Madrid have to be careful in the second leg later, because Manchester City is very difficult to beat this season.

[Tony116]

Among the four remaining teams, Liverpool is in first place as one of the teams that will qualify for the final. The result in the first leg is a valuable asset for Liverpool when it comes to Villarreal, another advantage that Liverpool has a strong and disciplined defense, Liverpool attack line is also very dangerous. I think Villarreal's journey in the Champions League only got to the semifinals, because their chances of getting into the Final are very small, even though the second leg will be played at home.

Yeah Liverpool is really lucky since they're fight against a weak team, not like Manchester City and Real Madrid. Honestly it should be Bayern Munich who faced against Liverpool, not Villarreal. I'd see it will be easy win for Liverpool in the second leg even they played away of their home, the first leg Villarreal got humiliated by Liverpool.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid is more interesting, anything can happen for sure. The bookies listed Real Madrid as underdog, but Manchester City isn't heavy favorited too. Bet either Manchester City or Real Madrid is worth it.

From quarter final until semifinal Liverpool most lucky against with weak team from Benfica until Villareal, but still not easy with Liverpool 100% winning when home and away match, last round held draw by Benfica on second leg 3-3 and I think have the same thing against with Villareal on second leg will match draw or Villareal can defeat Liverpool. Although many people will choose Liverpool as first team will lock final place because match Villareal vs Liverpool will play early before second match Real Madrid vs Manchester City held one day later.

I really don't think Liverpool is going to have any problems against Villarreal because they are already ahead by two goals and that gives them a good amount of breathing space. I don't see the opponent of Liverpool overcoming the deficit in the second leg. Even if Liverpool loses by one goal they will still win so I think it is a little dumb to expect a win for Villareal.

In fact, this is the only topic we are talking about these days, even if you look at what is written on this topic, you can see that everyone is talking about this match 
It will be too risky to bet on this match, we saw how perfectly both teams were already playing in the first match. I think both teams have a chance. Real Madrid's motivation may be a little higher, the 3 goals they scored were very valuable. But we also know what an excellent team City is.
It will be very difficult to decide

The last 2 matches have both been won by Man City. But that was in the season 19-20 of the Champions League. The most important matches were played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, when it was once a 0-0 draw and once Real Madrid won. Then it didn't work for Man City either. This match has certainly not been played yet, although the bookies do believe that Real Madrid actually have little chance of continuing. That's what they thought against PSG too.
