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

[mrongoz_imut]

Congratulations to Liverpool on making it to the final in the Champions League. And it was a brave performance by Villarreal in the second leg also. They had an incredible first half and finished it 2-0 ahead. It was a temporary shock for Liverpool but they dealt with this pressure over themselves in a really strong way. They made a really amazing comeback to 3-2 in the end. Villarreal were getting close to making history for themselves but they missed it unfortunately.

liverpool have managed to get one ticket to the final, although they were left behind in the first round but liverpool managed to come back to ensure their place in the final, today we will see two teams fighting for one remaining ticket to face liverpool later in the final, I personally hope in In the final we will see two teams from different countries meet each other.

Villareal almost make Liverpool shock after success scoring 2 goals on first half but they not keep strong until 90 minutes, actually most interested and Villareal have good reputation when shocking Bayern Munich last round and goals scored last minutes, but different between Liverpool and Bayern Munich performance and actually most higher level Liverpool than Villareal lead to final. Few minutes later waiting with one team lead final between Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Liverpool deserved to qualify, they played neatly and obviously the quality of their game above Villareal. Even at the beginning was surprised by Villareal's quick goal and 2-0 up at half-time. But Liverpool have a great mentality, even I am amazed they can make 3 goals to win and qualify for the final. If you look at the game in the second half of Villareal's game decreased, Fabinho's 1 goal made Villareal's mentality even more shattered. Even they played worse and Capoue got a red card.

There was no doubt that Liverpool could score a goal, it was only a matter of time. And it is clear that after Liverpool scored, Villarreal realized that they task was becoming much more difficult. As a result, players errors followed while Liverpool kept on scoring until they won the match. The red card was not mandatory, but the importance of the match was very high and Villarreal had a chance to win after the first half, although not a big one, so not everyone's nerves could withstand the strain.

Liverpool and Villarreal both had a great performance yesterday. Villarreal made me very surprised by their amazing effort in the first half of the game. Maybe they couldn't succeed in their goal to reach the final but they were still fascinating against Liverpool. It isn't easy to do these things against a very strong team like Liverpool. Therefore Villarreal still did a great work here. The Real Madrid - Manchester City game is about to start and I'm waiting for it excitedly.

This match today the way i assume concerning the game i think that Manchester city will defeat real Madrid base on the previous matches of Manchester city, i don't think they have lose match since this season, the featuring of Manchester city always  tight to the level of defeating their opponent, i believe benzema will score more than two goals.

The last finalist team are going to be determined tonight. The team that I want to see in the finale tonight are Real Madrid. Because I don't want to see teams from the same country in the finale. Besides, Liverpool would have an opportunity to have revenge on the 2018 finale in the Champions League. And this finale would include a good story as a result too.

While I don't really care if it's Real Madrid or Manchester City for me both are the same and for sure Liverpool are waiting for the final
For no reason I support Liverpool more to win this title they are more deserving and have recorded near-perfect results so far
2019 was the last time Liverpool won and this year is the right time to repeat it.

Liverpool this season is indeed very extraordinary both in the league and champions league, the consistency of their game throughout the season makes Liverpool a strong candidate to win the champions league again this season, but the madrid and city match is also very worth watching because I think pride as a Two big European teams will be at stake today, but to be honest I really hope that Manchester City and Madrid can play better than the first leg and make the match today will be very fierce regardless of who gets into the final later.

This game has so much tension in it and seeing that it's an Italian referee officiating it , this game will be raining with yellow cards. [ over 5.5 cards]

And with how much both Madrid and City are closing all pockets of chances this has to be a low scoring match unless otherwise.

My prediction Real Madrid 1-1 Manchester City

[MinoRaiola]

Benzema has to score 1 goal today to break Ronaldo's record of 10 goals in a Champions League round. I can imagine that more goals will be scored again today. And in the 5th minute there was a good chance for Real, so 1-2 goals in half time 1 should go. Benzema one and Foden on is my bet.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I appreciated the performances of both teams in the Villarreal - Liverpool game. They both had solid efforts and made us watch an enjoyable game. Villarreal made me excited a lot first but Liverpool took control of the game after. And we had a marvelous comeback from 2-0 to 2-3 at the end of the game. Liverpool have started waiting for their competitor in the finale. Real Madrid - Manchester City is going on 0-0 now as we are leaving one third of the game behind. There is a balanced game for now. And I would like to say again that I want Real Madrid to be Liverpool's competitor.

Of course. This fight is like a fake final because both teams are equally strong and populated by star players. Maybe a yellow card will decorate the journey of the match because both teams will play aggressively in this match. Benzema became the public attention of the Santiago Bernabeu to bring Real Madrid to win in this match. I hope he has a miracle in this fight .

Viewing the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City.  There is too much tension tonight. Madrid fans are viping and are ready to motivate their players and intimidate the citizens.
Vinicius is very ready for this match as he is seen  running everywhere in the field and cheering the fans to make noise.
Honestly this match is unpredictable and there is big chance for both teams. But Real Madrid should not allow Manchester City to score them.

[hyudien]

So far Madrid hasn't been able to play calmly, Vini JR also can't control the ball which could be a goal if he calmed down a bit. Man City is much calmer and unprovoked, everything is still going according to plan. little by little looking for gaps in each other. Madrid's back-back formation really made it as close as possible.

[snipie]

After Liverpool getting the first ticket to the final, it is time to know if it will be a pure English final or a not!
20 minutes in the game and Real Madrid 0-0 City, few opportunities but certainly Real Madrid players will remains on pressure until they get the draw on aggregate so they can start from 0.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Actually I don't really like the formation that madrid is using at the moment but this is certainly the best formation for anceloti because they already know that it will be very difficult to give City space in midfield so Anceloti applies 4-5-1 with Vini being withdrawn as their attacking midfielder.
But indeed in this match it looks like Madrid are still in a hurry to finish the chances and this is not very good

Benzema has to score 1 goal today to break Ronaldo's record of 10 goals in a Champions League round.

It will be nice to see Benzema score, especially if he scores first in this game. it's a very tense game, both teams so far playing very well and being careful on the ball not to concede. Manchester city defense is looking fully confident with Walker and cancelo's return. Manchester city cannot write off this real Madrid side, they have had a difficult running getting to this stage and with the advantage of the home crowd can put Manchester city in a difficult situation.

[ShowOff]

Honestly, we can't predict tonight's match, even though we know there is still an advantage over Manchester city but Real Madrid's ambitions are still burning at home.

I understand why you say that and my guess is because Real Madrid are a pretty experienced team in the Champions League. But I don't think it doesn't matter how good Madrid's previous record was in the Champions League, it won't always make them lucky to keep winning everything.

It's been an interesting game so far and I saw Manchester City dominate the game well and they also had a few shots on goal. Even though there are no goals yet, but I think it will come soon.

[Odusko]

The game between Madrid and Manchester City is getting harder than most speculators expected as almost half time into the game and no team has made any goal score as both clubs top in their group stages this is going to be the determinant game for who faces Liverpool in the finals.

The game is becoming tough that Manchester city is now playing a defensive game, if you observe the match well. You will notice that benzema is having the opportunity to penetrate to real Madrid post. So notice that is what makes Manchester city to playing a defensive game. When looking at this match it seems like real Madrid is oppressing Manchester city, because i was thinking that before now man city would have score 1 goal why real Madrid is making effort to score than Manchester city

match stats show man city slightly ahead of madrid...

The first half is almost over.. Mancity's "shot on goal" is 3 while madrid has 0 "shot on goal"

it seems that Carletto has to change Madrid's strategy so that they can more freely enter the Man City defense which looks very sturdy.

[jakdanyel]

Real Madrid - Manchester City match is still 0-0 now and there is no dominance of any team for now. This is good and bad for Manchester City at the same time. It is good because they are able to stand still in this match and the current score would be enough for them to be the other finalist. It is bad because Real Madrid also have the same amount of chances as them to score. Real Madrid's scoring one goal would change everything for this match. I can't wait to watch the second half already now.

Madrid's dominance is very strong now and if you look at Madrid it looks even more intimidating now, although indeed they are still quite difficult there because there are indeed most of City's players in their defense line when Madrid attack.

Benzema's chances some time ago were very good but unfortunately he failed even though he had faced the goalkeeper.
