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

[buwaytress]

Other than Karim Benzema, the striker may not be experienced enough at Real Madrid. But every player in Madrid is very talented. And at any moment they can become terrible for the opponent. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are good enough players. The midfield and forward of both teams are strong enough. So I think the team with the best defender will be able to win the Champions League.

Both teams will feel their CBs and goalies are good enough to handle anything so team that makes the most mistakes loses, that's all. Striker quality's probably a lot better at Liverpool, but Benzema and Vinicius will create enough. Midfield probably matched.

Liverpool will want the blistering fast start, knock in a couple of goals and then remain in mid-gear for second half to try snatch one more.

Real will be Real.

No one wants a penalty shootout, certainly not me haha. 2 in a season is enough (not counting the additional one we had to do in EFL cup).

Less than 5 hours to go for the kickoff, and I believe that Real Madrid is ready to repeat history. I can easily see a 3-1 victory for Madrid with two goals from Benzema.

You're very confident, I hope that's what we want to see from Madrid. But Liverpool must also be able to provide tough competition. We expect the game to be fierce and entertaining, at least keeping us tense is the expected atmosphere.

Liverpool story will make revenge, this is so interesting that the situation will be very heated.

I think that I'm going to favour Liverpool to win the title tonight. I'm very excited already now as I believe that we are going to watch an unforgettable match. Real Madrid and Liverpool are both very productive teams. None of them is playing boringly because they are both attacking teams rather than defensive ones. I expect to see at least three goals in this match first of all. I see Liverpool one step ahead in this match. Real Madrid had a huge difficulty against Manchester City and I expect them to have even a bigger difficulty against Liverpool.

[mamesso]

I hope Real will repeat their 2018 feat and beat Liverpool again! They managed to beat Chelsea and Man City... It wouldn't be a bad thing if that list of victories was added to Liverpool's... I'm betting on a Real Madrid win at a tasty 3.7 odds... Hala Madrid!

Unfortunately this season Real Madrid is not reinforced by Sergio Ramos anymore, in the 2018 final Sergio Ramos was seen deliberately tackling Salah which made Salah unable to continue the match. The 2022 and 2018 finals brought together the same team but with different strengths. Real Madrid was able to advance to the final thanks to comebacks from Manchester City and PSG, while Liverpool's journey was very smooth. Liverpool strikers can surprise Real Madrid if their defense doesn't keep up with Liverpool attackers, Ancelotti must build a strong defense to block attacks from Liverpool players.

[superman184]

I think Liverpool should learn from their past mistakes against Madrid in the Champions League final. the slightest mistake can be fatal for Liverpool.
But in my opinion Liverpool should be able to kill key players in Real Madrid, namely Benzema as a striker and Modric as a Real Madrid game manager, I think Van Dijk should be able to carry out his duties properly to guard Benzema until the match is over, and so does Real Madrid's midfield, namely Modric .

We are all aware of Real Madrid recent performance in the champions league, they did the unbelievable. Eliminating some big teams which were known as the best option for the cup, it wasn't a easy phase for them. They hardly lose hope in games, with their recent win against Manchester city it shows that they are the best team in the world. Though Liverpool has been outstanding since the start of the season, there performance recently is so unique, winning two trophies and are expecting to win the champions league tomorrow against realmadrid. To me it won't be a easy match for the both teams, they really need to be careful cause Liverpool are coming for revenge after loosing to realmadrid in the 2018 champions league final.

That's right, Real Madrid got an unexpectedly extraordinary result, they managed to get rid of the favorite team to win...

but this time it will definitely be different, with Liverpool's spirit of revenge (UCL final in 2017/2018) then I'm sure Liverpool will play carefully and calculatingly. both teams have the world's greatest coaches, so here we will see which genius strategy (both teams coach) will be effective in producing victory.

[naira]

Everyone here looks positive with their respective clubs. Like me here ready to bet live with some enthusiastic people. 4 hours remaining into play and both teams are ready to play without any injuries.


I think Liverpool are quite depressed with Madrid's performance which is getting better. There's no reason to play badly, Madrid will show they can't lose and repeat the win for the umpteenth time. Liverpool's dream can be buried again.

It is going to be history that will be written on the wall and when that happens, Real Madrid will be feared again. Imagine wining last 5 matches in a row to win Champions League and Benzema been the highest goal scorer will be fantabulous.
I know there are going to be many supporters since Liverpool is from England and with how Real Madrid caught some teams off guard by not qualifying to the Final but I having hope for them to do some magic.
Some people are picking statistics from odds and that's misleading, the moment Liverpool start feeling some heat, bookmakers will modify them. I can see 2-1

In my opinion, Real Madrid were very lucky removing Manchester City in the semi final, Manchester City outplayed them in the second leg, is when pep Guadiola decide to remove star players like Kevin Debruyne and Mahrez thinking that the game is over that Real Madrid scored those late 89th minutes goals,I don't think they will be lucky for the second time against Liverpool because this is not two legs so jurgen Klopp won't take anything for granted.

[CryptoPanda]

It's really amazing that this Real Madrid team that wasn't even in the top ten of favorites to win  this season UEFA Champion's League by bookmakers are in the finals; not just that they are in the final but they did it in style.  Ancelotti and his team has shown they possess adversity to thrive and swiftness to adapt to the game an opponent is using against them.

Madrid is great at making a comeback. like the game against City. they fell behind in the first leg and turned it around in the second. Madrid has a good mentality for the final.
but Final with only 1 leg. This will make Madrid have to work hard from the start of the game. Liverpool can beat Madrid. The opportunity is quite big if Madrid still uses the usual strategy played by coaches. it would be easy for Liverpool to understand killing Madrid midfielders and strikers.

In terms of the game I predict Liverpool will certainly dominate the game but here I know that Real Madrid have great experience because they have reached the top of the final because of their hard work with long experience so both of them cannot be predicted in this match, because the final game will be a tense fighter.

So many platforms offer attractive prize bets in this final match, of course they want to enliven it and also be profitable but here bets must be placed before the match starts.

Actually not only on UEFA Champion League final only but also almost knock out stage on champion league never have any bookmakers favorite for Real Madrid to be the winner. I remember when Real Madrid not favorite on secons leg champion league semifinal against with Manchester City. But Real Madrid keep show best performance and success lead to final after defeating Manchester City. I don't care with bookmakers keep favorote with Liverpool but keep believing with Real Madrid will get champion league trophy in this season.

Liverpool has more motiv and to win to get their revenge against Real Madrid for what happened a few years ago.  Also their motiv after the loss of the premier league title gives them a little more boost to want the champions league title even more then normal.

You're right, like most speculators everywhere that Liverpool make revenge this time even more sticking out. But it is undeniable that Real Madrid also has a squad that is difficult to penetrate. Some of the latest news from Liverpool they practice using sophisticated equipment such as attaching a device to the head to stimulate sensitivity. I don't know if it's effective or not because I only saw it at a glance.

Real Madrid were actually very lucky in this season's Champions league, looking at how they excape the likes of PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. These three teams could have eliminated Real Madrid from start, but they were very lucky because all these teams were winning  Real Madrid in the first leg but Madrid were lucky to come from behind and secure the qualification tickets
I wish they will win today to bag their Fourteenth UEFA Champions league.

Player morale plays a big part, especially in the most prestigious league. You can argue that Liverpool had a mental boost due to their past encounter and Premier league title, the lack of achievement may boost their morale for this match. Nevertheless, you can't say it also doesn't apply to Madrid, I believe the league title doesn't satisfy enough of them, they will embrace this match to acquire more titles this season. Both clubs have their own motivation, which makes me believe each club have its morale boost for this game.

[S A KHAIR]

Liverpool may have an advantage. It's called neuro11
A small team that takes care of the mental strength of athletes. For free kicks, corner kicks and penalty shoot-outs, they help every player to have control over his emotions. They work with Klopp and the first successes are two finals and 17 of 18 successful penalties. In the League Cup final against Chelsea 11:10 everyone scored and in the FA Cup 6:5, here only one missed. It looks like it's working.

We all know that mental health is very important for any athlete and having a good mentality can be the deciding factor between a player missing and scoring a goal. It looks like Liverpool is really giving it their all to win the Champions League final.

But we also have to remember that the Real Madrid squad is very experienced and they can keep a very cool head under bad situations. Otherwise, they would not have been able to reach the finals.

Tonight, I'm backing Madrid! For the fourteenth time, bring it to Spain. The team's journey in this season's Champions League has been quite dramatic, but they deserved the qualification spots. In tonight's Champions League final, Real Madrid could equal the number of Champions League trophy as the Premier League clubs combined.

[Zanab247]

Real Madrid vs Liverpool is an interesting match I must watch to know who is the most strongest team in this season. Real Madrid will defeat Liverpool 1:0 to win the champion league title, that is my prediction for the game because I know victory is sure for Real Madrid team today. I think the surprised victory Real Madrid got from Manchester city in the semi final is about to happen to Liverpool because Real Madrid coach will like to apply the same tactics to defeat Liverpool.

Madrid is a really good team, and the way they handled MC in leg two of the semi-finals was impressive.  Manchester City is usually so good at defending, but they RM just wore them out with their patented patience and precise passing.  It was a bit of a surprise to see MC buckle the way they did, it seemed like their heart just wasn't in it.


I just finished watching a rebroadcast of the 2018 final match.  The things I noticed; The injury to Salah really hurt LFC, that was quite unlucky.  Too many mistakes by Karius; one in particular could have kept the game in reach going into the final minutes.  It just seemed like luck was not on LFC's side, and the match was mostly closer than the final score indicated.
