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

[mia_houston]

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.

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..

[tulusikhlas]

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

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

[Minor Miner]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is really such as epic game to watch. For real Madrid  I can't remember them lossing in UCL finale even as Liverpool haven't loss any of the finals they have played since this 2022 so surely it a hard game to be sure of who's going to emerge as a winner.

I just look forward to seeing the fantastic shows, tacles, dribbles and at the end the joy and the agony of defeat from any of both teams at the end of play.

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.

Mohamed Salah is the most important player in the Liverpool team, when he's playing well, it reflects on the entire team. Liverpool will hoping he will be at his best. Real Madrid will have their eyes on him, players like Mane and Thiago will be very instrumental in this game because a lot of attention will not be on them. Virgil Van Dijk and Salah are seen to be having full training session with the Liverpool squad, I think this will be a boost for them going into the game tomorrow.

The match that Madrid went through was quite tough, they had many obstacles to advance to the final. We certainly hope that Madrid will give their best to win the Champions League trophy. Liverpool with very good skill and quality is a suitable team against Madrid. So tomorrow night's match will be a very lively match. Everyone around the world is eagerly waiting for the first whistle to sound.

Both teams are on their way to the top of the league football champion this year, but one of them must really understand that this final will be very interesting and eagerly awaited by many. For loyal fans who hope their club comes out as champions this season, the big pressure is more on Liverpool, because they don't have the mentality like Real Madrid players, the two coaches have different experiences, Real Madrid has a coach who has a lot of experience, while Liverpool have a coach who is far away. the quality is below Real Madrid, it will be interesting to watch the game

[cryptofrka]

Great news for Liverpool - Thiago has trained normally today and looks fully fit for the game tomorrow. Fabinho has been training for a while as well, and both Salah and Van Dijk weren't even doubtful to begin with.
This means that Liverpool will be only without Origi - a player who scored some of the most important goals in club's recent history but also a guy who almost certainly wouldn't get minutes anyway.

That is a drastic improvement to team health compared to the situation 5 days ago, and the only thing left to see is whether Thiago will start or come on from the bench. Less risky might be to start him so I expect we will go with that option.

I would be watching the game also but i cant see it live as i have to work when the finale Champions League match is starting.
But i will be for sure try to see or review the game when i am at home again.
I looking forward to see who will be the one that making the epic change in the game and maybe making his name into the Hall of Fame.

I don't know if others agree with me but Madrid (from what I see) are very dependent on benzema at the moment...

The thing that I think will be a stumbling block for Madrid to win the title is their dependence on Benzema at the moment, look at the last few matches, Madrid's attack is very blunt without Benzema. last 2017/2018, liverpool lost to madrid, now they must be able to take revenge. I predict the final score will be 1-0 for Liverpool.
