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

[Fesatmas]

Whatever strategy Ancelotti is coming with, I know he cannot and will never experiment with tomorrow's finals. Ancelotti cannot cannot start tomorrow's match without Vinicius, Benzema, Kroose, Modric and Casemiro.
So, whatever plans or strategies he has should play out from 70mins. That is the football and how it will be.
Meanwhile, eyes are on Salah and Benzema as the hit men for tomorrow's match but I am so much convinced that the hit men will be Vinicius and Diaz. The two young stars will steal the show tomorrow.

Ancelotti has not seen too much rotation of his players this season. including during matches in the Champions League.
Madrid has seen the tactics and strategies that will be used by Ancelotti.
both teams are equally strong in midfield and wings. The winner can be determined when one of them has started to lose focus.

Yes, the names mentioned above are indeed the key to Real Madrid's game to achieve success this season with their distinctive game. What's interesting is that young players and players who can be said to be seniors have become united in this team. It's not easy to create a team like this, sometimes in some teams it becomes their basic problem, but I don't see that problem at Real Madrid.

It would be nice if Liverpool won. It is Liverpool's duty to do the premier league a favor. It is impossible for Real Madrid to win the trophy multiple times by defeating City, Chelsea and Liverpool. We all support the reds who carry the League's reputation. It should be a great match! I look forward to watching it! I wish Liverpool the best of luck! There is nothing stopping you from winning yet another Champions League trophy. It's time for revenge this time, no mistakes.

[dataispower]

Ancelotti was announced starting line up for champion league final that there were several name who has rarely played in this season like Bale and Hazard although these players probably will play as substitute players but Liverpool have to be careful with them especially if they are in good form because not impossible they will appears as super subs especially Bale that he is the player who shattered Liverpool's dreams to get the trophy in the previous final on 2018

Even though Bale and Hazard are in the lineup I don't think it's a threat Liverpool's capacity is unquestionable other than that Bale and Hazard have played in the EPL so it's nothing new. I think Ancelotti has other plans by including Bale and Hazard he wants to disrupt Liverpool's strategy or break Liverpool's concentration on some of the main players.

I agree with you on this, Ancelotti will always want to disrupt the plains of Kloop by bringing the news of Hazard and Bale who have been sideline injury players, but we have to be more careful with the two players especially Bale because he is a great player full of energy, pace, and experience in the Champions League, Liverpool shouldn't forget Vinicous J and Benzema because they are the stars of the game. Liverpool has a solid team too and am sure they are well prepared and ready to battle with Madrid, Mo Salah, Dias, and Mane should not be underestimated cause they are full of surprises especially in front of the goal post.

[Slow death]

well an interesting fact is that in the premier league i am a liverpool fan, in la liga i am a real madrid fan, and in this champions league final i will support both teams, whichever team wins i will be happy, that's why if I'm going to bet on this game then I'll choose BTTS, I think both teams scored goals in that game. I also hope to see a good match between the real madrid trio ( Benzema, Vinicio Jr. and Rodrygo ) vs the liverpool trio ( salah, Mane or luis diaz )

we will see which of the trios will score many goals in this game

[laurenB7742]

The only good revenge that Mohamed Salah can take is to lift the champions league trophy this season nothing else, Ramos is no longer with the Madrid team so I think Salah should put his anger on the ball by scoring goals in the game and hoping to win too. 2018 is passed, and a lot has changed in the Madrid team, so many good players for Madrid, and Liverpool is a good team too with so many talented players it's going to be a rematch of 2018 I hope Liverpool wins it this time.

Moh Salah which I think will be the main attraction in the Final. Madrid's defense is not what it used to be. but they still have a dangerous striker.
I'm sure Madrid's midfield will stop duo Liverpool. Salah and Mane are very dangerous duo. both can provide assists and goals. Madrid must lock these 2 players.

Keep Salah's attention, and let Diaz and Mane handle the work. On two separate occasions, Mane defected Salah. Having lost both the African cup finals and qualification ticket for the world championship, Salah can't always be a solution. There can be different consequences for disrespecting Madrid. It is far from impossible to beat Madrid. If there's a team who can beat them, it's Liverpool. However, Real Madrid is the favourite to win the championship if you look at the road to the final. You never know what will happen in football.

Obviously, two players are going to be the main focus in this match for both teams' defensive lineups. Liverpool is going to keep a close eye on Benzema and Real Madrid is going to keep a close eye on Muhammad Salah. These two players have something to prove in this match I believe. I understand that if we look at the history of Real Madrid in the champions league we have to say Real Madrid is the favorite in this match. But I honestly cannot help but think that Liverpool should be the winners this time.

It's just risky to let in a player who rarely played since he might not really familiar and not hyped to score a goal. Bale and Hazard are strikers, I don't think Rodyrgo, Junior and Benzema could be substituted with Bale or Hazard. I prefer Valverde rather than Bale and Hazard, Junior might be get replaced by Valverde since Junior sometime doesn't play really good and Valverde is really flexible player who can play as midfielder, striker, or winger.

Jurgen Klopp will consider all the Real Madrid players that Ancelotti will bring to Paris as the best Liverpool have faced, but Klopp has more faith in every player he coaches that they can give Liverpool victory even though someone like Gareth Bale has been a Madrid player who thwarted. Liverpool's dream in the 2018 final.

The 2018 final was less exciting because Mohamed Salah was withdrawn too quickly due to a foul by Sergio Ramos. For this incident, Mohamed Salah felt guilty for not being able to help Liverpool. I am absolutely sure that the final that will be held at the Stade de France will be the stage for the Egyptian player even though Karim Benzema and his friends can also thwart Liverpool's dream.

Salah appearance is indeed something to look forward to in the final match, but isn't it reported that he is currently injured?
In the match against wolves in the league, klopp pulled out Salah while the match was still in progress and he looked like he was in pain and klopp also confirmed that Salah was injured after match, but I hope if Salah can play in the Final later, so we will see the two best teams with players The world's best players will fight each other.

It is a game I can't wait to watch. The game will be a true battle of wills as both teams are a very formidable side and now with the emergence of Modric and Bale, coupled with vinicius and asensio the game will be tough.
 Liverpool will release their big guns as well. Salah, Mane and the lot as Jurgen will not take chances too.

Yes it will be a very exciting game and a closely contesting one filled with alot of actions before kickoff and after kick-off..the football culture in France will make sure we have an interesting opening ceremony before the kick-off proper.. taking nothing from both sides Liverpool and Real Madrid will play for there lives in this final because the looser will have his self to be blamed after 90 or 120mins.. I can't wait for the kick-off and the whole world can't wait too...the club supporters will always have a hand in the match..two great teams but there will be only one winner...It will come down to English football against the Spanish football...two European giants..if Liverpool should become champions then they will be joint second with AC Milan on the all-time list of uefa champions League winners and if Real Madrid eventually becomes champions then they will move to 14champions league trophies twice as much as the team on second position which happens to be Ac Milan.. there is alot to play for..

It's quite unique when our heroes in each league will meet in a competition like the Champions League. You will still be happy and sad at the end of the game regardless of who wins or loses.
But I also agree that both teams will be able to score at least one goal in this match. But I predict the match will be longer than normal time.

it's undeniable, both teams will be ready to field their main players of course a very interesting match will be presented this weekend.
and both teams are teams that have won the UCL many times, their mentality is already very strong on the European stage, no one doubts that both teams will be ready to give their best. but I think with the quality and mentality of these two teams which are very comparable, it is very likely that this weekend's UCL final match will last up to 120 minutes or it can continue until a penalty shoot-out to determine the champion.

After all, football is about 11 players and not just one or two players, so even though Real Madrid may only rely on strikers to score goals. But still, when other players have the chance to score they can do it too and that doesn't just apply to Liverpool, because of course Real Madrid can do it too. Balancing in a match is important in implementing strategy, because if they only focus on only one side then it will be easy for the opposing team to anticipate.

That is not wrong that you convey, but the coach scheme is sometimes different in implementing the strategy, Real Madrid more hope for Benzema in scoring goals, so that other players only function as a ball supplier, although in the match not all go perfectly and other players too too able to make goals, but if this strategy is applied by Ancelotti, then Liverpool coach is very easy to read the final match later and I hope Real Madrid coach will change the strategy scheme

That's what I mean and if you pay attention to it too, you can see who scored the goals when Real Madrid managed to score two goals in the last minute of the match against Manchester City. Yes, the two goals that started Real Madrid's comeback were created by Rodrygo and not Benzema, although in extra time Benzema scored a goal but it was created through a penalty kick. So, if you say it's about Benzema again and again then surely Liverpool will find it easy to break Real Madrid's attack, because what has to be taken into consideration is there is a strong defense for every player and not only focus on Benzema because anyone on the pitch when has the chance to make a goal then whoever the player they will be able to do it.

This is indeed a strategy carried out by the Real Madrid coach, they made other clubs to closely guard Benzema, so that others are more free to play their respective roles, in the past few matches the coach deliberately made Benzema a target, and played the role of a person. which is always guarded by the opponent, but in the final this is not possible anymore, because the Liverpool coach has seen Real Madrid's game quite seriously, I think the final scheme will be quite interesting for Liverpool, because they want to take revenge and hope this time the Champions will be theirs

I believe that big players are capable of performing even in the worst situations and they often perform on big stages. That's why I think Benzema and Muhammad Salah are going to perform well in the final but it is also true that they will be heavily guarded. The strategy of Real Madrid is going to be better in my opinion because that's how they have reached the finals and Liverpool should really save some energy because they will have to concentrate really hard in the last 15 to 20 minutes of the match. In the match against Manchester City Vini Jr. got some really good balls but could not do much with it so I believe he will be able to do better in the finals.

[Lafu]

The 2018 final was less exciting because Mohamed Salah was withdrawn too quickly due to a foul by Sergio Ramos. For this incident, Mohamed Salah felt guilty for not being able to help Liverpool. I am absolutely sure that the final that will be held at the Stade de France will be the stage for the Egyptian player even though Karim Benzema and his friends can also thwart Liverpool's dream.

It will definitely be a very interesting one and I personally hope for a good finale.
Both teams have the quality to win the game. In my opinion I think Real Madrid will win it.
I dont will place a bet on this game as i am not 100% sure that Madrid will make it.
For the Viewers it would be the best if the winner would be made by the penalty shootout.

I prefer Valverde rather than Bale and Hazard, Junior might be get replaced by Valverde since Junior sometime doesn't play really good and Valverde is really flexible player who can play as midfielder, striker, or winger.

I think Real Madrid keep used Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr and option between Valverde as left winger or Rodrygo will get starter position on the final match. I don't think with Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale will be regular player, keep as on the bench for Bale and Hazard actually if Real Madrid get scoring on early minutes not any chance for Bale and Hazard play on final match. I think Carlo Ancelotti not really like with both player although have on the list player arrived on Paris last night.

[zaki12]

It's hard to imagine how Real Madrid can qualify for the Champions League final because they beat PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. Real Madrid have even trailed twice away against PSG and Manchester City, but Real Madrid have shown their quality.
There is nothing better than the combination of destiny, good fortune and the ability of an individual Real Madrid player. While Liverpool play in a different tension, dominant, high, to a wider attack range. The final match will be an arena of strategic prowess between the two coaches who is the best, this will be the most exciting match for sure.

[Minecache]

Mohamed Salah will see this as an revenge mission after missing out the last time around they meet each other due to injury he had in the first few minutes of the game after a professional foul from Sergio Ramos, he did well to come back from injury and played the last game of the season against wolves,but this time around they have equipped there selves more better by adding more attacking players than before,they have Luis Diaz and jota in their rank now.

I remember that time too, after few minutes to the begining of the match, Mohamed Salah was injured, he still wanted to play but the injury make him unable to play and left the field and was substituted. Immediately he left the match, the match changed and Real Madrid later got upper hand. Even if Salah played full match as at that time, very possible Liverpool could have won, but that is just a guess, anything can still happen and it can still be the same way around as it happened.

Let us see what is going to happen, Real Madrid are very strong, they have that Champions League experience and can also emerge as the winner. I understand that Liverpool are very strong than before, but they are hyped than what they are. Man City won the EPL league already, Liverpool won FA Cup but they went extra time with Chelsea and finally played penalty. I would not hype this again this time around like they are better than what they are, it is possible that Liverpool can win but also possible that Real Madrid can win because Real Madrid has been very better in this season Champions League too and had more obstacles than Liverpool.

This match is obviously going to be a 50 - 50 chance for both teams to win unless something like an injury happens to any important players during the match. I obviously hope that nothing like it happens. I honestly want to believe that Liverpool is going to win this Champions League final but when I look at the Real Madrid squad and when I think about the teams that they had to beat to get here I wanna sleep and start thinking that this has to be a Real Madrid win.

If you compare their journey to get to this final, it is undeniable that Real Madrid is more difficult than Liverpool. Real Madrid showed once again that they are a team with a very strong winning mentality, even by making a comeback which everyone knows is a difficult thing to do, but Real Madrid proved that they are capable of it not even once but many times they do.

[karabiber]

Real Madrid went through quite tough matchups until this stage. Real Madrid reached the final by eliminating the favorite teams of the cup such as PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. This time it will be the target of living the championship victory for the 14th time. Liverpool on the other hand will play their third final in the last five seasons in the Champions League under the leadership of Jürgen Klopp. I think that Real Madrid will play more confidently due to their comeback in the City matchup in the final. I see Real Madrid a team that knows and plays these levels very well as a side close to the cup.

[blackened515]

We will be witnessing one of the most interesting game tomorrow as Liverpool will play against Real Madrid in the finals of the Champions League. Paris would be filed with enough crowd. The game would be one of the toughest game that would be remember in history, it's definitely going to be a memorial one in UEFEA Champions League. Klopp and Ancelloti would applied their best game plan in the match. The both team have their best players and high expectations are expected from them.
