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

[zuzie]

2 goals in 2 minutes and now they are going on extra time.

Incredible.

What a wonderful turnaround in a flash. Unbelievable. In under a minute 2 goals have been scored after believing that Manchester City has won already.
I couldn't believe my eyes with the result am seeing. Should I laugh or cry cos this is unbelievable?
Real Madrid is now leading in extra time 3-1(6-5 aggregate). Hail Madrid

That’s why it’s Real Madrid. All those UCL wins the past years. It’s all about their mentality. They play like they are clueless but they are a different animal in the UCL. This team is unbelievable, pulling miracle after miracle right in front of our eyes. Real Madrid's winning culture has played its part, and always the lesson is in the tents. From the way the first half of the extra time has been, it looks like Man City are rattled. The game changers have been substituted; Kevin Debruyne and Riyad Mahrez. Let see what they have to offer in the remaining half.

This is the exact way Real Madrid pulled a miracle in their match against Chelsea. Making the right substitution at the right time. What made Real Madrid be able to come out to win against Manchester City is that Mahrez and Walker were changed. Is this Luck or miracle that is following Real Madrid's all-around in this UCL. I haven't seen such luck or miracle before in a twinkle of an eye.

If this is only luck but Real Madrid have done it twice in the Champions League so we can say this is a combination of luck and strategy
Finally we see the 2 teams that are in the final Liverpool went through the match without a hitch while Real Madrid is a bit full of drama
So far I haven't decided who deserves to be the champion because they both have their own advantages.

Real Madrid can't surprise me any less. First, they filled me with rage and then, they lightened my mood with a last minute performance that was flawless, a game!!! A mean, you play for over 89 minutes without a goal nor a single on target shot and with just a minute and a minute of added time, you score 2 goals to get right back into the game and in the extra time, you add another goal to qualify for the finals! This is fvcking epic and only Real Madrid could do this. To put there fans in so much tension and relieve them in the final seconds.

An interesting part is how cool, Carlo Ancelotti was through the whole game. He never gave in to despair and neither did his team. Nice one Rodrygo on giving Real Madrid the chance it did need. My conviction is that, the winner of today's game gets to win the UCL finals. I wasn't ready to see another Manchester City vs Liverpool and thanks to Rodrygo and Benzema for ensuring I don't get to see it.

Incredible match, Real Madrid in their own style. Scoring 2 goals in the final minutes is unthinkable, but they did it! I'm glad we won't have an English final but a clash which has happened before and Liverpool will obviously want to avenge the previous defeat, which was very upsetting. Manchester City played very well but failed to score more than one goal. I think this match is even worthy of a final...

No one can predict with certainty what will happen Madrid got a ticket to the final with a lot of struggle .At least the Champions League this season is better because the two teams are in different countries. We will wait for how the gambling market gives odds for the final match and who is more favored, Liverpool and Madrid have their respective advantages then the lucky will determine.

Were they lucky? Yes, absolutely. But I don't think it's a coincidence. This team can force things like that. In fact, until the 90th minute, they didn't shoot once and didn't have a decent chance. And then 2x in 2 minutes. It was similar against Paris St German. I don't think that's a coincidence. If you can do that against both City and Paris, then you are really one of the greatest. You would say that Liverpool are favourites, but this Real Madrid can beat anyone, including Liverpool.

[Wawa2013]

Ancelotti and his 6 substitutions managed to bring Madrid through to the UCL Final this season. Rodrygo and Camavinga became supersubs that changed the course of the match. Put some respect for Don Carlo!
Nacho also played very well, was good at reading City attacks and failed City counter attacks several times.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for reaching the Champions League final

Indeed, the management of Real Madrid made the right decision by making Ancelotti the main coach at Real Madrid. It is proven that Ancelotti
immediately brought Real Madrid to become La Liga winners this season even though La Liga was not over yet. Then what is surprising is how
Ancelotti led Real Madrid to the Champions League final, this is beyond the expectations of many people. Because I honestly didn't expect Real Madrid
to go this far in the Champions League.

Even Real Madrid's journey to the final was not easy, Real Madrid had to get rid of several strong teams to get into the final. At least PSG, Chelsea and
Man City have felt how terrible Real Madrid is. Now it's just one step away from winning the Champions League trophy, I believe that Ancelotti, who led
Real Madrid to win the Champions League trophy in the 2013/2014 season, will repeat the same success this season. So Real Madrid's strength this
season is not only having Benzema who is Real Madrid's goal machine, but it was Ancelotti who managed to make Real Madrid find his best form this season.

My most happiness is that real Madrid won Manchester City their by qualifying to the finals against Liverpool which is a good thing for me not to be seeing two england clubs battling for the finals.

[Jasad]

I am happy Madrid can defeated Manchester City and settle one place to final against with Liverpool, no one can predict and favorite Madrid could destroy City after losing one goal and left few minutes before Rodrygo scored two goal and match continue with extra time. Lets celebrate with Real Madrid success back to final champion league again and memorize with last final success defeated Liverpool can happening again on this time final. Nice chance Madrid with double trophies in this season La Liga and Champion League.

It was really shocking to me, I never expected such a perfect display from real Madrid. To me I was seeing Manchester city as the favorite team to win the game, but it came as a shock, though Manchester city wasn't performing much good in the game, but I never expected this kind of result, first they did it again PSG and Chelsea and now Manchester city. I think this gives us the prove that they are world champions, just take a look at the game, in the space of two minutes they scored two goals, I don't think they were lucky, it was determination, they had in mind to win the game.

[Rruchi man]

Incredible match, Real Madrid in their own style. Scoring 2 goals in the final minutes is unthinkable, but they did it!

With the way Manchester city has been playing, it was really hard coming into this game especially with Real Madrid as the favourite. Real Madrid has proven to everyone yet again that they shouldn't be written off.  Real Madrid unexpectedly did very well defensively today, ensuring that Pep's side did not score more than a goal.

A Liverpool and Real Madrid final will be some massive football, very difficult to predict at this stage who the winner will be, Salah seems to have wanted real Madrid, in the finals, he has them now to play, klopp should prepare well, this Real Madrid under Ancelotii and with players like Benzema should not be underestimated.

[Yogee]

this defeat is a hard blow to the heart of pepe guardiola who worked so hard to make city a good team

I agree that it's a heartbreaking loss but not on the part of working hard to make it a good team. He didn't build it from the ground. He came in when the team already had good players and rich owner.

... maybe they will only come back in a lifetime one of these days, but not so soon because the champions league is something very difficult to reach the final several times in a row

The team is not under massive retructuring or rebuilding so I don't think it will take them long enough to reach the semis or the finals. They may actually do it again next season.

[dezoel]

I was stressed all throughout the game, I wagered on Liverpool and I really wanted them to win and seeing them get scored on twice early on made me think that I lost the bet. Thank God, we have digital betting now and I can't rip out the paper, back in the day when we wagered on sports in real life, they would give us a slip showing we gambled that game and I would have ripped it out after the second goal.

It is only a team like Liverpool that could change so quickly, with the addition of Diaz everything changed so much, which is a proof that they really need to reconsider the wings again.

Carlo Anceloti has once again demonstrated to the world that he is an experienced manager who knows what he is doing by closely monitoring the game and making all essential decisions while making substitutions. And, once again, the Real Madrid players demonstrate their commitment to winning the game despite the fact that they were goalless for the first half of the game. To Rodrigo and Benzima, I can say that they tried and that they are the key players that yielded their qualification to the final; I hope they win the final as well.

Congratulations to Real Madrid for reaching the Champions League final

Carlo Ancelotti did brilliantly well with his team substitutions, which consequently influenced their remarkable and incredible comeback,  I like his combination and blending of youngsters like Vini Jr., Rodrygo, Camavinga, Mendy with the experienced players like Benzema, Modric and Kross, tactically it was the youngsters later changed the game, this is another night of entertaining and competitive UCL match from start to finish it was a display of attacking football from both sides, congratulations to Real Madrid for reaching this year UCL finals.

[Rengga Jati]

I also really hope that Real Madrid will win against City although this will not be easy. Final between England-Spain will be more interesting 

Thank God, this really happen  
Congratulations Real Madrid.
It's an epic comeback. It was very unpredictable that Rodrygo could score 2 goals in 2 minutes in sequence. And again, Benzema gave the decisive goal for the victory.
Actually, City also played very greatly. But, they might not guess what will happen at the last minute, they must be shocked enough.

And Liverpool, see you in the Final UCL.   Liverpool vs Real Madrid

[Zackgeno96]

In any case, a final between 2 teams from 2 different countries, that is also the most fun. I think we have been quite spoiled with the matches between Madrid and City, both last week and this week. Today little happened until fifteen minutes before time, but what happened afterwards made up for everything. And yet again that Benzema who uses a penalty. The whole game invisible and then an assist for the 1-1. City should have made that 0-2 really easy and then that was the end of the story.

[lulumiya]

Such an incredible night! Real Madrid made the impossible happen in the game. It is never easy to make such comebacks when you are mentally weak as you are 1-0 behind. But somehow Real Madrid made it real for themselves and brought themselves back to life. And Rodrygo's incredible job played a big role in this finale ticket for Real Madrid. But both teams were amazing so far so I'm happy to watch this incredible matchup.

[Mr.right85]

What can I say if not "Hala Madrid".

When naturally, all hope was lost with an almost 90minutes 2 goals aggregate advantage to Manchester City, Real Madrid still managed to turn the game around and win the slot for the champions league finals!
What is it really with Real Madrid and the Champions League finals?! Like, they go about this as though it was there birth right. Who would have believed it that the games can turn in less than 2minutes and against a team like Manchester City or Pep Guardiola. I mean, I still ask myself how did Guardiola got it all wrong, just how?!

Haven't gone through all these back and forth, its hard to not see Real Madrid lifting the trophy. Am sure Liverpool would have preferred a Manchester City finals than whom they have to face now. The Kings of the champions league and they can't come so close and not lift it.

It was once again a game worthy of the Champions League! It is these kinds of games that make football spectacular.
With 10 minutes to go, little did they believe that Real Madrid would be able to turn around the result. But, once again, due to a series of errors, atypical, from Man City to Real Madrid, not only managed to equalize the tie, but ended up winning it.

Now in the final, Real Madrid vs Liverpool, I think Real Madrid have a better chance of winning the game.

And Liverpool, see you in the Final UCL.   Liverpool vs Real Madrid

i am also very happy with this madrid win, i put some bucks on madrid, at first i doubt madrid can win but it was a great epic comeback.  madrid vs liverpool in the final is will be a very crazy match, and i'm curious what big surprises will happen in the final.

[Captain Corporate]

I wonder how many messages will be written about this game! What a game, what a match. It has been one of the most unexpected results of all time for me. Twitter is already filled with jokes about betting on Real to win in the 88th minute, imagine the money you could have made!

It's definitely not unusual for Real Madrid to overcome the odds and beat, but to score twice in the last 2 minutes of the game, then beating at the overtime is something to marvel at. This is why Real Madrid is such a great team in UCL, they have won it nearly twice as much as the next team with the most titles, and this is the reason. You do not win 3 in a row that easily, hell winning it once has been a dream for City for nearly 7 years now give or take and they have failed it over and over again with nearly a billion dollars worth of roster, and Real did it three times in a row. This is why they are so great.

I am not sure what will happen at the finals, on one hand, I feel like Liverpool is the better team, on the other hand many "better" teams played against Real and came home empty-handed, so I do not know what will happen.
