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

[mia_houston]

I just can't wait to se Liverpool vs Real Madrid UCL final match this season? Who will get advantage in Paris? What do you thik, who will win UCL final this season? My prediction goes to Liverpool. Liverpool very well played overall this season and UCL also.Liverpool attacking site is very dangerous and their goal Keeper Allison becker is most talented Keeper right now.On other hand you looked Real Madrid last match Real Madrid defender's made many mistake,I Think they need to more improve this site.

It's not just you, we are here. I think you feel the same way, which is that you want to see the final match soon. But if to predict I'm not sure about this, because both Teams have almost equal strength so it's a bit difficult for me to predict who will win. But if you look at the opponents these two teams face from the last 16, I am more inclined to Real Madrid to win the game.

Both teams have the same squad depth that is quite capable in terms of attacking, but compared to real madrid I think liverpool has a better defense now, without underestimating madrid but in my opinion liverpool chance to get the UCL trophy is greater than madrid at this time, performance Liverpool in every phase of the game they live is quite stable until it reaches the final round and that's why I am very sure that this season UCL trophy will return to England.

Although both team have losing many goal home and away on knock out round I think Liverpool have good defensive than Real Madrid, I don't sure with Militao as regular player defender for Real Madrid because many time he made blunder and give chance for against team. But looks solid with Van Dijk and Joe Matip as Liverpool defender but I believing with Real Madrid defensive still help by holding midfielder. Excited waiting two weeks later for UEFA Champion League final match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid and I hope with Madrid get double trophies in this season after success get La Liga trophy.

Yes, it's definitely very difficult to call. There is speculation about the injuries to Salah and van Dijk, and Klopp has confirmed they will both miss Liverpool's next game... but I think this is more precautionary than anything else, and to give them a rest. It's been a long season for both Liverpool and Real Madrid, and one key factor in determining the winners might be whose players are better rested.

Exactly
that's why I say Real Madrid are favorites
the players were more rested, both physically and mentally (due to La Liga)
the way you play is different when you are mentally calm
then anything can happen eh, football is beautiful because it is unpredictable

The quality of the two teams is almost the same and it's true that Liverpool have been more consistent than Real Madrid this season, but this is a UCL final which will definitely run with high tension, regardless of the quality of the players, mentality and confidence are needed and I see that owned by the Real Madrid team and so it is possible that Real Madrid will be successful again to win the UCL trophy this season.

Well, but Real's players are also significantly older than Liverpool's team. That could make up for this disadvantage for Liverpool. Liverpool now has two important games left this season (last league game and CL final). For these two games, the highlights of the season, they will once again put everything on the line, no matter if they are physically and mentally drained or not.

Old age players will not be a problem for Real Madrid in the final. Real madrid players like Benzema and Modrid have long experience in the Champions League which will surely give encouragement to all players in the final. for Liverpool they also have experience playing in the final in the Champions League, of course they want to repeat the success in 2018-2019.

@JeWay those old player’s are the reason why Real Madrid is doing so well, because on the pitch they play like they’re playing in their 20s and they also have lots of experience to cause Liverpool lots of problem, hence don’t underestimate Real Madrid’s older player’s. Furthermore if Liverpool key players don’t recover in time then that could effect them psychologically, but I hope that they will recover for the finals as I want the very best 11 from both the teams to play.

I’m sure that won’t be an important factor in the final at all.
If you look at these old Real players like Modric, Kroos or Casemir, they actually play like young men and their age doesn’t affect their game at all.
It doesn't matter how young or old a footballer is, but how good a footballer he is.
These Real players have been playing together for a very long time, they know each other very well and have a lot of experience. That will be one of Real's advantages in the final.
For LIverpool players it will be a disadvantage that they will have less time to rest and prepare before the final.

Liverpool have younger players than Real Madrid and has experience in the UEFA Champion's League final, this is a big plus for them going into the finals. I think Real Madrid's defense is not strong at all and the Mane and Salah will run riot at them. Real Madrid will have to depend on their old but effective players like Modric and the miraculous Karim Benzema to get the job done.

I think yes with Real Madrid dominance by old player from Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and actually Toni Kroos could be as old player category. Excatly dominance by old player male Real Madrid have good mentality on Champion League, always success comeback on every match give proof how old player give effect for team. Still waiting on final still have good touch with Real Madris old player, success or not giving champion league for Real Madrid.

I think it's still not possible to happen especially when Madrid are ready in midfield.
For defense, indeed they are nothing special there but on the other hand when looking at their midfield movement I think they can still turn things around with this not to mention the movement of Vini and Benzema up front which has even made three big clubs like City, PSG and Chelsea so hard.

maybe only Benzema Alaba and Modric are a little older than the other players in the los Blancos squad.I don't think this is affected by the condition of the team ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool, it will be an experience for those who have ever played. played several finals, while Liverpool currently have to face an extra tight schedule considering they have to play several EPL matches and they have also just faced Chelsea in the FA Cup of course this will be an advantage for real Madrid with more rest time that is owned by the club.Carlo Ancelotti's son

If you remember Real Madrid's matches against Manchester City and PSG, both won early in the first leg and only Chelsea won in the second leg but lost on aggregate.
and I mean in the Champions League final there is only one game and if the previous games against Manchester City and PSG happened to Liverpool then Liverpool would be champions, because Real Madrid can only turn things around in the second game or the second leg.
but these are the two best clubs among other clubs because the Champions League is the most prestigious league of all the leagues and there are only four best clubs that qualify for the Champions League, Real Madrid and Liverpool are the best among other clubs and it will be an interesting match and also very tight.

I believe the Liverpool players are still going to be very fit to play in the Champions League final. Real Madrid will surely have experience on their side and I think that might be really helpful for them but this is not going to be a match of 2 leg, this is the final.

So, I think having less older players in the Liverpool squad actually might help them in terms of stamina. But, I believe the difference is not going to be that much noticeable.

It is true that Liverpool is going to have less time to prepare. But I still believe they will be able to play their main squad.

Old players like modrid, Benzema and kroos are motivators for other players, that's why when madrid is often behind goals these old players always encourage young players to get up and don't give up, I think in every football team, experienced players of course really is indispensable to be leaders and role models for young players, indeed we can't deny that the winning mentality possessed by old madrid players has helped Madrid make a comeback in every important match so far.

in today's game liverpool is not using all its main players which means that the liverpool coach has already realized that the chances of winning the premier league are already very small and that's why he will save players for champions league, he doesn't want anymore risk having you play with injury. City will celebrate if liverpool draw in today's game and from the guys from liverpool that are playing today i see that liverpool will give up a draw and city will become premier league champions, i just hope that at least liverpool can win the champions league

It's true, but real madrid is a team of legends, they always have some legendary players who help the team, that's why even when those 3 players one day leave real madrid other players will appear to replace them and with that real madrid don't fall

[Minecache]

Both teams have the same squad depth that is quite capable in terms of attacking, but compared to real madrid I think liverpool has a better defense now, without underestimating madrid but in my opinion liverpool chance to get the UCL trophy is greater than madrid at this time, performance Liverpool in every phase of the game they live is quite stable until it reaches the final round and that's why I am very sure that this season UCL trophy will return to England.

Although both team have losing many goal home and away on knock out round I think Liverpool have good defensive than Real Madrid, I don't sure with Militao as regular player defender for Real Madrid because many time he made blunder and give chance for against team. But looks solid with Van Dijk and Joe Matip as Liverpool defender but I believing with Real Madrid defensive still help by holding midfielder. Excited waiting two weeks later for UEFA Champion League final match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid and I hope with Madrid get double trophies in this season after success get La Liga trophy.

Yes, I know that Liverpool has a very good defense compared to Real Madrid. If we actually look at both squads we will see that the Liverpool squad seems to be a lot better overall compared to the Real Madrid squad.

But, Real Madrid has Benzema who has been playing really well and scoring a lot of goals. I believe he is a real contender for the Ballon d'Or. So I think with this defense Liverpool actually will be able to defend quite well and also stop Benzema.

This could be the difference which could give the win to Liverpool, both teams are really good at attacking, however the defensive play of Real Madrid leaves a lot to be desired and this has caused them issues during the whole tournament as often they have found themselves being down on the score and they have needed Benzema to pull them out of the hole they fig for themselves with his amazing skills, but even then the offense of Real Madrid is so good they still have a chance to win it all despite their weak defense.

It is sure that players of Liverpool is strong enough compare to Real Madrid. But Real Madrid is UCL king and they have a good reputation in UCL. Not only Benzema but also Vini, Rodrygo, Luka, Kroos all are available. Defense like Marcelo, Militao are aslo good to support.

They do not play like young players to be fair, because they are veterans and veterans have this experience with them which keeps them consistent. Experience gives consistency even during finals of UCL that is the most important thing. If you are young and talented, even if you are seen as a better player, you could play a terrible finals game because you could be scared, or excited, or nervous and many other things.

But, when you are a veteran, you will not have any of that, you will be able to play like it's a random regular season game. This is how they have been able to beat all those teams so far as well, with experience and calmness even in the face of losing.
