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

[laurenB7742]

I do not intend to bet on the final match. Liverpool and Real Madrid, both teams playing very well. Real Madrid, who eliminated Manchester City in a great rematch, is strong enough to beat Liverpool, in my opinion. Still, the odds of Liverpool winning are very high, of course. I hope this will be the most enjoyable match of the year.

Are you sure? I think betting on the final match is the most exciting, some bookies might have an odds boost promotions too.
Liverpool become favorite in this match because they have clean statistic and only lose against Inter Milan, while Real Madrid lose on many big clubs e.g. PSG, Barcelona, Chelsea, Man City (first leg). But it we talk from head to head, Real Madrid won 4-0 against Liverpool, their last match was on last year. Personally I will bet on Real Madrid since they have an epic come back against Man City before.

Their comeback is epic but the final match will only be played once. That's why they lost to many teams in the first match. If their match against Manchester City had been the final, they would have lost, but luckily, they made a fantastic comeback in the second leg. That's why I don't want to bet, but maybe I can bet with a low amount of money. If I bet I will choose the Liverpool side.

Real Madrid won the second leg against PSG and Manchester City because of their outstanding performance. Despite losing in the first leg, they qualified for the final due to good play in the second leg. However, they will not get a second chance in the final match. Yet since both teams are very experienced for the Champions League. So the chances of both winning seem to be equal.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have met 8 times so far. As a result, Liverpool won 4 wins. Madrid itself pocketed 3 wins, while the other 1 match ended in a draw. So, the 2021-2022 Champions League final will be the ninth meeting for the two teams. Of course this will be a very tight final match with a mission of revenge also for Liverpool itself, because previously, Liverpool and Real Madrid had also met in the 2017-2018 Champions League final, Liverpool failed to win and lost to Real Madrid with a score of 3-1. Moreover, after bringing Liverpool to the final, Mohamed Salah expressed his desire to face Real Madrid more than Manchester City in the Champions League final.

Yes, the Champions League final is very interesting, starting from players and coaches. Carlo Ancelottti and Jurgen Klopp both have good records for the champions league. For Jurgen Klopp, this is his fourth final in the Champions League. Klopp twice led Liverpool to the final, where one of them won the title. Before the final match with Liverpool, Klopp also led Borussia Dortmund to the same point. while Carlo Ancelotti by bringing Madrid to the final. So, this is Ancelotti's 5th final in the Champions League. He also became the coach who reached the top of the Champions League the most.
I think this will be the ideal champions final match will definitely be interesting to watch.

Real madrid is the best team currently in Laliga and the champions league. City are out of the Champions League after. Shocked defeat in the second halve. Although city dominated the game full-time but failed to net the goalpost. City had 9 shots on target while Madrid have 5 shots on target. It wasn't an easy win for Madrid. The game was just like Liverpool-Villarreal game.  When Luiz Diaz came up from the bench to Change the pattern of play and make the difference, that's exactly what happened when Rodrygo came up the bench and finished Brilliantly within 2 minutes. City conceded 3 goals within 10 minutes. That's a bad results for them as they out of the Champions League. It will Real madrid - Liverpool in Paris.

You still have plenty of time to choose. There's no need to rush because there's still a lot to come as they prepare for the final. Both Liverpool and Madrid will be entertaining matches. If you miss the bet this time, it will be a pity. About winning and not betting, at least you shouldn't waste this season. Enjoy the final match later.

I will try to bet on Real Madrid this season in the Champions League because there are several considerations that made me have to choose Real Madrid such as Real Madrid's experience in the Champions League and the experience of Real Madrid coaches who have managed and won many trophies in the past, although Liverpool isn't bad to pick either. But because this is for the Champions League, then I have more confidence in Real Madrid in terms of winning the Champions League trophy this season.

I am thinking completely opposite of this because I have good faith with Liverpool as they are turning tables in their favor here they can beat any team on any ground because they have one of the best unit in their history and their record is also amazing like Real Madrid in Champions League so most chances they are going to complete their treble with EFL Cup, The FA Cup, and Champions League and staying at second spot in Premier League because they have no good enough chance for this title with just one point gape is enough for Manchester City to win this year's title.

There is no doubt this match is going to be very entertaining because both teams are having amazing players and their quality is also on their peak with hunger for win is also creating some great interest in this game for both teams and fans of respective clubs.

Looking at the old games is not a very good data right now because the performances of the teams are very different at the moment. Real Madrid and Liverpool the best football teams this year are also trying to be the best in their own leagues but I think Premier League teams can be stronger because the league they play in much more difficult

The defeat was a shock for me, though not new again in Champions League, but I can not doubt Real Madrid because they have gone so much far and have players that have Champions League experience. All I was thinking before is that the final would be like last season with both clubs coming from England premier league but it is different now. Liverpool is hot, but Real Madrid has so much champions league experience, this makes the final hard to predict.

Looking at the old games is not a very good data right now because the performances of the teams are very different at the moment.

Both clubs met in Champions League, how is their performance different now? The data is just head-to-head to know the previous matches of both clubs.

Indeed, the domestic league can be a benchmark for us to measure how far the team is superior. But that doesn't always hold true, as differences in playing styles also affect how great they are. Both of these teams have star-labeled players, so it should be an interesting match, there's no reason for that. Here the coach's strategy to knock out players who are the life of the enemy team's game will be very important.

Real Madrid tried,beating Manchester city to qualify for the finals of the champions league this season.I know Pep Guardiola is very disappointed now because earlier this season he made mention of the fact that if he doesn't take Champions league with Mancity,he is a failure,and I know what he said them must reflect through his mind.I think he should focus more on winning the premier league now and forget about the champions league exit,afterall the players need rest.
I tipped Liverpool to win this tittle again because their squad is strong and ready to win any team that comes their way,and coupled with the experience they have too.

The Champions League final is not only a team that has good quality this season but mentality is needed, it's proven that Real Madrid has quality below Man City but can beat it with mentality.
and Liverpool and Real Madrid are teams that have the mentality on the Europa stage. it's going to be very fierce. It is difficult to predict who will be able to win.

[Zlantann]

Liverpool would win tthis year's champions league. They have the best strikers in the world currently and there defence is very reliable. They have conceded lesser goals than Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid have made it to the finals with the combination of hard work and luck. Except the sun of luck still shines on them again, they have little or chance to defeats Liverpool. But I am not writing-off the technical prowess and experience of Carlo Ancelotti that led to the downfall of Manchester City. Not putting aside the top class quality of the old war horses: Karim Benzima and Luka Mudric. But the top form of Salah and Mane is incomparable. Liverpool would carry the day, I still insist.

Yes Liverpool has the resources to win it, but just so you know that anything can happen in football, especially in a champions League final.
IMO, it won't be easy

Both are indeed the best teams at the moment who have a good mentality at European level, but Liverpool and Rela Madrid also need luck when playing in the final because the luck factor in a match can be an important thing that should not be ignored.
Real Madrid are a little more comfortable because they are already a team that won La Liga and their focus is only on the UCL. Liverpool must focus on the Premier League besides the UCL because the EPL trophy is also their target.

[buwaytress]

They have conceded lesser goals than Real Madrid.

Most meaningless stat ever in a final though. Case in point City: 8 goals conceded in 6 games in Group Stage, and 0 goals until they met Real, then conceded 6 goals.

It's the opposition, not the competition, in a final.

Thanks for the reminder haha. I'll also remind myself to post an update on OP once the finals are over. Think it'd be useful to have one place to see historical results.

Klopp has built up a very strong Liverpool and we have to congratulate him about that. He has well plan to prepare for a next few seasons with alternative younger players for old players in the current squad. I believe that Liverpool will still be one of best candidates in both Premier League and Champions League next 5 years. To qualify Klopp at the same level of Sir. Alex, Ancelotti or Lippi, I don't think he has reached to this level.

With Klopp lifestyle and management style, I don't think he does actually mind about such thing. So let him be and we simply should enjoy Liverpool matches as well as the coming interesting final between them and Real Madrid.

What do you need Klopp to do in order to see him at the highest level of managers? I mean we already have so few managers at the top currently and Klopp should be considered one of them for sure. I may not put him in the Sir Alex Ferguson category because he is alone there and he has been the best ever manager in my mind, but I would put him at Ancellotti level, even though Ancellotti achieved more so far, he has been around for far longer as well.

Plus, being this good with just one team means something, whereas being this good with many different teams do mean another, both are great achievements. I have to say it is definitely a great matchup of two amazing managers, but I would put them at same level right now.

[bangjoe]

We will see both big teams play in the Champions League Final that we have been waiting for. But if you look at their journey in the Champions League this season, Real Madrid have had a much more difficult season, especially when they started entering the last 16. They managed to make two incredible comebacks, against Paris Saint Germain and in the semifinals when they turned things around from Manchester City which was very dramatic. In addition, against Chelsea they also performed extraordinary. Maybe this can be an advantage for Real Madrid to be able to re-conquer another English team, Liverpool.

[Sebas.tian]

Ideal final between Liverpool vs Real Madrid but I don't really expected the final journey from Liverpool hardest than Real Madrid, actually I see only on 16 round Liverpool against with Inter Milan before next round always faced with not favorite team. Round on quarter final Liverpool against with Benfica and Semifinal defeated Villareal. Different journey with Real Madrid on 16 round against with PSG, next round have waiting by Chelsea and semifinal success comeback from Manchester City. Almost big top team eliminated by Real Madrid on champion league most different with Liverpool could be lucky phase success reach to final.

I think, Liverpool has a good record from this tournament that will make people to predict for their favour because they have what it takes to defeat Real Madrid for final. I believe Liverpool coach will never allow what happened to manchester city that made Real Madrid to eliminated Manchester city in the second leg to happen in final than to use everything possible to win Real Madrid 2-1 for the favour of Liverpool. Real Madrid know how to play well in the first half but they are not too good for second half which is the tactics Liverpool will use to eliminate Real Madrid from final to achieve UEFA Europa champion league title.

Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, they are the club that has collected the most UCL trophies.
I think it will not be easy to beat Real Madrid, who have a winning mentality on the European stage, even though Liverpool this season has a good composition of players and is very consistent but it will not make it easy for them to beat Real Madrid. I'm sure in this match the pressure is on the Liverpool club and to be interesting of course every UCL final will be interesting and with high tension.
I will still be my favorite Real Madrid to be able to win the Champions League this season.

Liverpool entire line looks very good, Their defense is quite strong, the midfield can set the rhythm of the game perfectly and the attacking line is unquestionable. The combination of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Jota is able to put pressure on the opponent's defense.
While in the opposing camp, Real Madrid looks very dependent on Benzema in terms of scoring goals. Of course this condition is not too good for Real Madrid, especially Liverpool back line is very strong. Ancelotti must prepare a shadow striker as an alternative if Benzema movement is successfully turned off by Liverpool players.
