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

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

A position that does not support Real Madrid where in the first half they could not score a single goal. indicates that Manchester City game can still be fully controlled. Although the two are quite balanced, it seems that the emotional control of the Real Madrid players is not too controlled.

Manchester city dominated the match a bit while Madrid didn't do anything It's a bit strange when Madrid need goals and win but not much effort
This situation is certainly more favorable to Manchester City on their advantage in the first leg but yeah it's only half time there's still 45 minutes left
I know Madrid can do anything in the last minute like they did when they beat PSG let's just watch.

[coinlocket$]

Only 1 -1 between Real and City, meh the game seem to be very boring, especially after the result from the 1st leg.


Benzema got a good shot in the end of the 1st half but he missed.

[Roidz]

The score 0-0 ended the first half of the match between madrid and manchester today, since the match started the two teams continued to exchange attacks to create the first goal in today match but the solid defense and also the alacrity of the two goalkeepers make both teams failed to score, I think any the difference was stark in the manchester city defense today, the presence of walker in defense made the manchester city defense very strong and this is different from the first leg when walker was injured, walker discipline in defending clearly made Vinicius look frustrated every time he dribbled the ball towards the manchester city defense.

[BitcoinAccepted]

We still have a 0-0 score. What a big difference from last week's game. Real Madrid have to score goals, but we haven't had any great opportunities yet. Man city has more ball possession and better field play, but that's not saying much. Real Madrid will have to do something else because they are not going to make it on this foot. Still expect some goals here.

Against what many people thought that there will be much goals in tonight match. I was also saying that things might go the other way. Half time goaless. By this time yesterday we have seen 2 goals and tension was high.
Now that we are about to enter the second half, I know that Guardiola will likely introduce Fenerdinho to lock the midfield and defence and see if the match could end goalless and Manchester City will be at the final.
This second half will be more interesting than the first half and Karim Benzema will get a goal this second half.
