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

[herurist]

Real Madrid are the kings of UCL and right now they really have a very good chance of winning the title again, but I personally really hope Liverpool will win in the UCL final this season. I just hope this is the right season for Liverpool to get a lot of titles, Liverpool has a very good chance for a quadruple winner so I personally am very optimistic that it will be achieved because it will be a historical record. Although indeed, to achieve such an achievement would not be easy after previously Liverpool won the title in the Carabao Cup. Furthermore, as we realize Liverpool's opponents in the EPL in the title race are Manchester City, then the opponents in the Emirates FA Cup are Chelsea, and the climax is that in the UCL Liverpool will play against Real Madrid as the team with the most UCL trophies.

Real Madrid have a very good record in terms of Champions League finals so far, they seem so hard to beat by anyone in the final that this season they may be going to extend that record again against Liverpool. Honestly I don't know how they will do it but I believe Real Madrid will win this title from Liverpool even though Liverpool look good to be favourites. However, both teams are equally likely to win the title this season.

I still hope it will be more exciting, their previous Final was not very interesting because indeed the previous Champions League final between Liverpool and Madrid was like a massacre from Madrid.
Now Liverpool are in good confidence and consistency, on the other hand Madrid have experience especially this season because their opponents could be said to be very strong candidates before.
I hope there won't be a fatal incident like the Karius blunder in the final which will happen in a few weeks

Congratulations to Real Madrid! It was such an unbelievable comeback that they did. After scoring those goals while the match was nearly coming to an end, I started to think that Real Madrid must definitely win this. It would have been a big disappointment for them otherwise. And it was a big disappointment for Manchester City already of course. They did a great job about keeping their opponent away from scoring any goal for like 90 minutes until that goal came. I appreciate their performance also because of that.

The congratulations that Real Madrid deserved from all of them, because the second half performance at the last minute broke the emotions of all the spectators. I think Liverpool are facing a dangerous club which will make them even more careful. Miracles happen and Real Madrid always show us that in very crucial minutes. How scary their performance was that it seemed as if Manchester City almost fell mentally at the end of the game.

I think the outcome of the semi final actually will be more entertaining compared to an all English final. I find citys style of play kind of boring, plus their fans are insufferable. Yes they get the job done, often with overwhelming style, but the final v Liverpool seems so much more open. With excellent attacking players on both sides, it will be a battle of who's defense will hold up the best. The real Madrid team is young with a mix of older players who are finally getting real recognition on the world stage, Liverpool on the other hand have killer instinct and I would place my money on them to be crowned champions in Paris. With the premier league title almost out of reach, I exepct klopp to but all his efforts into being crowned kings of Europe.

[safari88]

Liverpool should be the favorite in the final. We can also see that clearly with the bookmakers, but if you eliminate both PSG and City, shouldn't you just be the favourite? Liverpool have a solid team, but also against Villareal they were vulnerable in the first half and trailed 2-0. It will be an open competition. In principle, the location of Paris does not matter to either team. I expect more Spanish supporters.

Both of the legs of the Manchester City - Real Madrid matchup are going to be remembered for long years for sure. Because both of these games were definitely unforgettable. Real Madrid did an amazing job in the second leg and it was like a miracle to me. They scored a goal in the 90th minute and another one only two minutes. This 2-1 lead carried them to extra time to give one last chance to them. And they benefited from this chance superbly by that penalty goal. Real Madrid experienced the dream in real life and Manchester City were desperate to do something about it.

It's hard to compare, but in the past we once had the match between Manchester United against Bayern Munich, the final of the Champions League. Then Manchester United scored twice in the last minutes. And that cost Bayern Munich the title. Benzema put that ball back wonderfully where the 1-1 came from. Madrid should also have scored a goal much earlier.

This signal will be very dangerous for Liverpool, as if Real Madrid confirmed that they are the kings of the Champions League, Manchester City played very well in the first half, making it difficult for Real Madrid to penetrate their goal, but in the second half Real Madrid played a little open, until the end. second half Real Madrid can score two goals in a very short time, Liverpool need to be vigilant later in the final, otherwise they want to experience the same problem as Manchester City.
Congratulations to Real Madrid fans and hope to win

You have to realize that Real Madrid are the kings of the Champions League so far and they are very close to the title again after beating Manchester City in the second leg. Liverpool of course have to be wary of Real Madrid with its huge status in the Champions League, but if you watch their match then you are sure Liverpool will easily break into Real Madrid's goal whose defense is not as good as expected.

Real Madrid were just lucky to score 2 goals during the second half injury time because overall they didn't have many chances to score during the 90 minutes. Manchester City failed the final in a very disappointing way, and they should mark it as a history of shame.

An experienced team like Manchester City shouldn't have made the mistake of conceding two goals in extra time. These are the basics of football, when a score that suits you is on the scoreboard and there are several minutes left until the end of the match, then you just need to play for time by any means. Look at what Real Madrid did in the second extra half, they were either sitting or lying, doing anything just to play for time.

[niceli]

Typical or me, I wanted to wager on City for the first time in all of champions league, I usually do not like to wager on them, but did it this time around because they looked so much better and it ended up with this ending, such a big let down to lose. In any case, I congratulate Real Madrid, they have shown how it is never ended until the final whistle, and fought for it until the very last minute and going to a very well deserved finals. I sort of understand the "super league" situation they wanted to, I mean they are the best when played internationally and instead of playing in champions league, they could do a whole league with home and away games and earn a ton more money than this, would be more profitable for them. Maybe UEFA should start considering a situation like that eventually?

[Pulsar77]

Real Madrid are in a great form now in the Champions League. It was like they made a thing that was nearly impossible real against Manchester City yesterday. It was such an unforgettable comeback in the last minutes of the game. And this fascinating comeback helped them even get to the finale. Real Madrid players and Ancelotti must be still very happy about the result. And it would take some time for them to get themselves out of its magic. But Liverpool are going to be even a tougher opponent I think. So Real Madrid had better start to get prepared for them already now.

[BIT-BENDER]

Is Manchester city failing to win the champions league at their prime and forgetting the fact that no team stays up forever? Yea I think so, Manchester city are ripe enough to have won the UEFA champions league and with the quality of players, credibility of the coach and the pedigree of the financial power the hold, I think right now they would be wondering how they haven’t, what can they do to change their fortunes this question would ring in their head, and I won’t be surprised if pep in anguish decides to go on a sabbatical leave.

Manchester City did nothing wrong, but the position of Real Madrid's players to head the ball meant the goalkeeper either didn't anticipate it well or maybe didn't realize the ball was going into the net. One of the things I think is wrong is that Manchester City failed to score more goals when there were chances. Grealish and Fernandinho had it, but they fell short.

[Ryu_Ar1]

in the end my bold bet paid off.
indeed at first I was quite pessimistic about this because indeed I did Multibet which was quite different because I only bet on Madrid's victory in their 2 matches. but it paid off and I'm quite happy with it

You did quite a bold thing in this gamble but indeed it has happened and indeed you are already feeling the benefits there, congrats on your bet for Madrid.

You are confident with Madrid and indeed this is good enough for them to remember the experience they had before.
It's indeed too risky but it's not bad to do

If you don't kill off Madrid when you have the chance, they will kill you when you least expect it, and it always happens in less than 10 minutes, as PSG and Chelsea did, and Manchester City didn't learn from it. You're up 5-3 on aggregate with a few minutes to go, but instead of switching to a more defensive formation to finish the game, Pep was busy looking for more goals. This is why Jose Mourinho will always be the best; he knows when to attack and when to rest in order to achieve results.

Manchester City could have called the game several times. That ball that was taken off the line was of course bad luck somewhere, but you can also say that it was not shot cleanly. And then another similar opportunity followed. And the best part was that Real Madrid actually had very few chances, except Vinicius just after the break. Benzema was invisible but still proved his worth with an assist and a cashed-in penalty.

Looking at the comments from the past few hours, it looks like you guys have been up all night? Or do you follow this championship from the other side of the globe? Anyway, I had to catch a few hours of sleep after being off on a bender with the boys somewhere last night.  

As for the match, what can I say? I think that's what makes European football so special. It is amazing how things can change in just one minute, even when everything seems lost. We expected a good match, but this was beyond our expectations. You don't get moments like these all the time in football.

While City might have had some better chances, I always thought Madrid looked like the most likely to win the match. After incredible returns in the round of 16 against PSG and in the quarter-finals against Chelsea, Real did it again. They have incredible resilience. In the end, what a match, what a comeback. Unbelievable.

I think there are a lot of users from the USA and for them this match took place in the early morning and then they had the opportunity to discuss it all day (and yes, there was something to discuss). For me personally, it was a night, but after such a rush of emotions, I did not sleep for a couple of hours, and enjoyed the fact that I went to the sports forums and read the news/discussions regarding this game 

[CryptoPanda]

Manchester City lacks strong mentality at this level of the Champion's league, they faced a very experienced opponent yesterday. Real Madrid mentality isn't something created in five or ten years. When you are playing for Real Madrid as a player you know you are a part of something much greater than yourself and they have a tradition of winning. I honestly hope this elimination from the champion's league won't affect them negatively in their pursuit of the league title. Ending this season without a trophy will be disaster.

[judas]

I must admit that it was so satisfying to see Real Madrid in final round. They had an unbelievable game against Manchester City and none of the sides would forget about this game easily. The most unforgettable part is going to be the very short time interval that Real Madrid scored two goals in. It brought the final to them surely. And I'm curious whether Real Madrid will be able to maintain this awesome effort against Liverpool also. Because I expect a much stronger team compared to Manchester City. And Liverpool might even be able to have their revenge from Real Madrid so the Spaniards had better be careful.
