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

[AndySt]

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.

Undoubtedly, a final between teams from two different countries is preferable in terms of international interest, although in purely sporting terms we should have expected a purely English final, but Real Madrid once again pulled the trick of turning everything upside down. By the way, when Real Madrid scored the first goal, I thought that Real Madrid is hitting duplets and now there may be a second goal, which happened. This match is up to 90 minutes, both teams can hardly bring an asset to themselves, but two Real Madrid goals and then a penalty in extra time made this match incredible for Real Madrid. By the way, the penalty in my opinion is not quite obvious, it seems that at first there was a contact of the City player with the ball.

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.

I still can't accept that someone says Real Madrid's win is luck. I think Real Madrid victory was due to the mentality of the players and Carlo Ancelotti's experience as a coach. let's look at the previous meeting, Real Marid beat PSG then Chelsea and now Man City. luck is only once, if you get to 3 times moreover getting to the Final is not luck.

Totally agree with what you're saying because only people who don't like Real Madrid say Real Madrid's victory was luck, because it's very clear that Carlo Ancelotti's experience as a coach has also proven a lot in the past and with the number of trophies that have been won by Real Madrid, I think, is very clear that Real Madrid's mentality is very strong in the Champions League.

That's exactly great mental, How can players be such confident even if they are at the end of the match and being left the score?
Real Madrid seems very experienced with the victory in the last minutes.
I know that all players and also the coach of Real Madrid are very great and confident enough during the match even though they were almost lost. But in fact, they could make comeback very epic.
I don't know whether it is pure their performance and professionalism or there is also the factor of luck as addition.

Agree. Winning 3 matches from 3 strong teams, shouldn't be luck. Real Madrid players have the winner mentality, that's why they can win those matches although they were always in a bad situation. They never give up and they try to find the solution to come back. Yep, another factor is Ancelotti's role as the coach, he is able to lead the players to survive and give all their best. He is also a smart coach that knows well when to release a super-sub player like Rodrygo.

Everyone is free to have an opinion about the results of the Real Madrid vs Man City match which was indeed very surprising. After all,
no one expected Real Madrid to turn things around after being left behind by one goal by Man City in the 73rd minute. So it's only natural
that people would say that Real Madrid's victory was due to luck. But for me this Real Madrid win is not luck and this is because Real Madrid
have a winning mentality, Real Madrid proved to be doing the same thing against PSG and Chelsea. Real Madrid managed to turn things around
surprisingly, because luck rarely happens again and again. It must be painful as a Man City supporter with the exit of Man City. After the previous
season Man City also failed to win a trophy, after being defeated by Chelsea in the Champions League final. Now that Man City have been knocked out
again in the semifinals through a dramatic defeat to Real Madrid, I can feel the disappointment of the Man City supporters. So I can understand
why Man City fans won't accept their team's defeat and say Real Madrid's win is just luck, because the reality is that it is quite difficult to accept
the dramatic defeat that happened to Man City.

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.

One of the advantages of Madrid is an experience where Manchester city doesn't have, even have a squad and strategy better than real Madrid throughout the game, The city looks careless in the last minutes and feels almost won. I believe, it is also affected by Don Carlo, he is a very experienced coach and has met many times with Pep with I think very understands how to handle him. And, congrats to Madrid, they deserve it.

I also think that Real Madrid's victory wasn't just luck. Well, they did not look good in the first half because the tight marking and tactical fouls played by Man City seemed to have succeeded in suppressing Real Madrid's attack. However, with Rodrygo, Camavinga, and Asensio playing in the second half, Real Madrid's performance improved, and I think, what started Real Madrid's revival was their winning mentality.

Even though the game was almost over, Real Madrid didn't look desperate and they kept trying to create opportunities, and in the end, that persistence pays off.

I also think that Real Madrid's victory wasn't just luck.

It was not only luck if you look at the emotional response of Benzema after he scored the last goal for Real Madrid in the defeat 3-4 in Etihad stadium (first leg). His team mates also show that they strongly believed in what they can do in the second leg. In fact, they had a bad match at their home stadium until very last minutes. They equalized then won it because they have never given up their belief and dream in this season. What a strong team!

Manchester City mostly reached to the finale but only 2 minutes, they wasted it out. Then in the extra half, they couldn't play good enough to find at least one goal. There is not many clear opportunities for them to find the equalizer in extra half.

I feel like this season is reserved for Benzema and Real Madrid. Liverpool is great and the finale between them is great but I put my vote on Real Madrid and Benzema. I am not a fan of Real Madrid or Benzema but I would prefer to see Benzema has a perfect season in his career.

That game proved that the math statistics didn't work, all the strategies instructed by both coaches worked perfectly, but again experience has taught Manchester City, that Real Madrid have a winning mentality that Manchester City don't have. In the end, Real Madrid's second half was able to restore the situation, where they were able to score two goals in a fairly short time, winning mentality and loyal supporters were the 12th player off the field who always gave encouragement and support

[blackbold]

The highest level of football is that cruel. A few minutes ago, Grealish got 2 opportunities that could "close" the game. Then, Madrid got 2 goals in a span of no more than 2 minutes to take the game into extra time. Savage!
Liverpool's lesson against Real Madrid in the final later, if you do play against Madrid, don't waste your chances, you have to be effective otherwise you will be punished.

A great revenge done by Real Madrid no more than 2 minutes. This is Real Madrid has qualified to final against all odds. It's actually great to see the high level football and for the mental strength in one match. For Madrid one more magical night to go. However, this time they have to beware. Liverpool is far different from the last final.

Because I played Madrid today makes me uneasy. The madrid habits of the players are hot in the last minute. Trailing 0-1 and making 2 goals in stoppage time was a surprise. Although it was the goal that made it escape the penalty result and I'm sure it was a bit of a controversy for the Man City supporters, I think it was over and it was the final decision. I think it's an ideal final, I still support the Madrid champions. Hala Madrid!!

I was try to turn off my television after Real Madrid losing 1 goal and left two minutes before match ended, but Rodrygo helped Real Madrid and make score draw before have motivation again keep watching the incredible comeback. Good job by Real Madrid player exactly after several substitutions success give top performance for Madrid and make Manchester City dreaming play on champion league final gone. Right now focus with champion league final against Liverpool after domestic league have been the winner and 4 match left nothing happen although Real Madrid failed winning.

[Despairo]

I believe those who said Real Madrid won only by luck is Manchester City bettors

Well it's unbelievable to think Real Madrid can score in the same minute, it's a combinations between skill and luck. When Manchester City already scored 1 goal, I think they're already satisfied with the result and thought they're already won, that's why on the last minute they didn't played well. Real Madrid taking this advantage to score, they didn't desperate and do anything what they can. Real Madrid really have winner mentality.

Now the final will be Real Madrid vs Liverpool, the odds favored on Liverpool. Looking how Real Madrid can beat Manchester City, I'm more confident Real Madrid might become the champion.

[mumang siat]

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.

You would say otherwise if you saw last night's match, between Real Madrid and Manchester City, it was even faster and more tense than Liverpool.

I mean like this, the Champions League has a different feel for a team that has experience and a winning mentality. Real Madrid proved that they are really the strong team that exists today.

Next Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the final, it will be more interesting and tense. If you go back to betting, then make sure you win a club that is really ready to become a champion, not a club that can only get into the final and I'm sure you understand what I mean

[martyns]

Man City could not believe what they saw last night,they didn't believe Madrid will be able to eliminate them from the champions league.They used all their tactics in playing,but did not get the desired result,instead,they left the field in shame. Madrid really surprised me too,because I never believed Madrid will be able to win them,after they scored first.Now the final is going to be Liverpool vs Real Madrid,which will look more interesting to watch.

I am optimistic that Liverpool will win this year's champions league.Iknow I cant underated Madrid at this point in time anymore after they eliminated Mancity,but I know Liverpool will win this Champions league.

When it was 0-1 for City i watched the match and was thinking there is no chance for Real Madrid to even get the ball let alone score two goals and then out of nowhere two amazing goals for Real Madrid. After that Real Madrid players got motivated and scored another goal and went into the finals. Really good match.

Real Madrid didn't really have a great game last night but they managed to end the match with a perfect result. Statistically Manchester City are ahead of Real Madrid but they were just unlucky in the last few minutes of the match. It's a shame and I think all the fans deserve to be disappointed with the final result.

Congratulations to Real Madrid for advancing to the Champions League final this season. They really are on the top right now with even less convincing performances.

[bering]

5 minutes 3 goals i think it was an epic comeback from Madrid and seems Man City cannot focus at the end of second half and this what i said before that conceded 3 goals at home match for the first leg is bad result because Madrid can reversed the situations and it just happens today that Madrid win the match and went to final match against Liverpool

2 goals in 2 minutes and the third one is in the first extra half. Manchester City have breaking time before the first extra half but they can not calm down themselves as well as failed to cool down the rising psychology from Real Madrid players. After the third goal, they did not play well enough as in the first half and when they have opportunities to equalize the match, they failed to score.

This defeat again shows that Manchester City can play well in big matches but they are similar to PSG. They both are very vulnerable in important period and they can easily collapse if opponents score important goals. In opposite, Real Madrid shown their tradition and experience in Champions League, they did not give up and know how to beat opponents.

The win yesterday is a recognition for the management capability of Ancelotti as well. When he replaced Kross, Casemiro and Modric, many audience should feel there is no chance for Real Madrid in last minutes. However, Rodrygo and Camavinga made difference with 2 goals. Then Benzema again becomes a hero of Real Madrid with a third and decisive goal from penalty shot.
