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

[indah rezqi]

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.

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.

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.

@buwaytress
please change your 3 threads (champions league, europe league and conference league) from semifinals to finals

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.

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, this season will be a repeat of the 2018 final when Liverpool couldn't beat Real... This year's final will be unpredictable because both clubs have done very well this season in both the domestic championships and the Champions League... It seems to me that in this final the chances of both teams are equal, but bookmakers prefer Liverpool with odds of 2.05 and 3.7 for Real ... But I don't rule out the Madrid side winning again this year... Hala Madrid!

When Liverpool played against Villarreal in the second leg of the Champions league semi finals, I can't say there defence was anything close to being strong. You could see Van Dijk lamenting due to frustration after the first and second goal was being strong. The Villarreal defence on the other hand was something so daring to have even come close. The sweeps were speedy and aggressive, there shadings as per body balance/contesting for the ball, much energy was put in and somehow, they managed it and earned just a single red card that resulted from 2 yellows.

What am I trying to imply, that Liverpool in now way have an advantage over Real Madrid. I find Real Madrid to be the most dangerous team when it comes to the Champions league. You can imagine how far they've come, from the come backs and with Chelsea & Manchester being the closest team to have eliminated them and still, they managed it against all odds to qualify for the finals. Now, all they would do is just take it.

Liverpool are seeded because they have been very consistent this season, the main squad that is the mainstay of Jurgen Klopp never disappoints the opportunities given. Liverpool's strikers are also reliable, Mane and Salah always take turns scoring goals.
I also do not put Real Madrid second, Carlo Ancelotti men are also very dangerous for other teams. PSG and Manchester City have had a bitter experience with Real Madrid. Now Liverpool will try Real Madrid Strength In UCL Final, Liverpool has a chance to avenge their defeat in 2018 final.

[Wiwo]

The topic of who becomes the champion thos season has become a hot topic all over social media and communities football fans are making predictions and in-depth analyses are done constantly, this is because both clubs are strong and haven't seen how they're performed in the various competition Real Madrid won the trophy in league and Liverpool also topping in the European league take it hard to decide who win the championship this year's we'll let keep fingers crossed to see how the event unfold.

Now Real Madrid is not only about Benzema because in fact Rodrygo became the hero of Real Madrid's revival when they beat Manchester City with 2 goals. Rodrygo was also the player who lifted Real Madrid's spirits as they beat Chelsea in the quarter-final second leg before Benzema sealed the win in extra time.

So, apart from Real Madrid depending on Benzema's performance, so far they have ammunition that is no less important when the team struggles to break the deadlock. Yes it is Rodrygo, this 21-year-old player has made the difference in 2 important matches for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season.

After it was confirmed that Liverpool had qualified for the final, Mohamed Salah wanted Real Madrid to be their opponent in the final. This is a sign that what happened to the player (Mo. Salah) in 2018 could be repeated, but unfortunately Real Madrid is no longer reinforced by Sergio Ramos at defender.
I can say the final that will be played in paris that Liverpool will get the luck even though both teams are both great in terms of mentality and in terms of quality of players to coaches.

[Turbolinea]

Real Madrid and Liverpool are going to play a really huge match against each other for certain. Real Madrid must be ready for a more serious challenge. But they have already left a very difficult exam for them against Manchester City. They worked a miracle against Manchester City in the last minutes of the normal time of the match. They must be feeling the title coming to them already now but this shouldn't cause them to be complacent in this match. Because Liverpool can destroy them otherwise.

All I see about this current Real Madrid squad is they are unstoppable, they play with so much dexterity, intensity and class. Even though Liverpool will be hoping to get a win against Real Madrid especially the likes of Mo Salah but I don't see Jurgen Kloop and his men contending against Real Madrid.

The Champions League Final match of course will be very fierce, especially now that in the final are Liverpool and Real Madrid, both of which are experienced teams in the UCL.
Real Madrid have overcome tough opponents to reach the Final and they have proven themselves that they are a team with a winning mentality and Liverpool too, Liverpool have played very consistently throughout this season.
The final will be tough but I personally prefer Real Madrid to be champions this season after what they went through I think they deserved to win the UCL.

I did not see Benzema play really well in that match. to be honest I hardly saw Benzema getting good enough touches in that match and that clearly proves Real Madrid is just not about Benzema carrying them on his back.

Real Madrid is performing good teamwork and playing smart.
But Liverpool is also a great team with smart players and they also look like they know what they are doing almost every time. We are in for a great final in the Champions League for sure.

The final will be tough but I personally prefer Real Madrid to be champions this season after what they went through I think they deserved to win the UCL.

There is an interesting fact about Real Madrid in the Champions League final so far where they have won 13 titles from their 16 finals so far in the Champions League. It's safe to say that Real Madrid have won the Champions League title every time they have reached the final since 1998, so I don't think they will fall short this season for their fantastic record.

This is Liverpool's 5th Champions League final since 2005, and most recently they won it in 2019. Liverpool have won 6 Champions League titles so far from their 9 finals since 1977, that's a bit more than Barcelona who won just 5 titles. in his 8 participations in the final match. So I think Real Madrid will write another golden stool for this season's Champions League final even though Liverpool have been consistent so far with their quadruple chances.

Perfectly Said and these two teams are almost same with their ability to win Champions League. Both teams are powerful at the Striking position but Real Madrid a little bit more in my opinion.
So from them who will have the best defense in the final match will win the Championship. And that's why I support Liverpool and in every online prediction I saw most of the users are voting on Liverpool.

They must be feeling the title coming to them already now but this shouldn't cause them to be complacent in this match. Because Liverpool can destroy them otherwise.

It will be difficult to predict the final match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool. Because both teams are one of the best teams this season with their respective advantages. These two teams have different strategies in my opinion and that could be their bullet in this match. Real Madrid will go all out for their 14th title, Liverpool will definitely do that, I'm more than happy to look forward to their action now.
