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

[Cookdata]

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!

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.

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.

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.

You're right, like most speculators everywhere that Liverpool make revenge this time even more sticking out.

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.

However, now that they have proven that they can be said to have won the Champions League overall, as long as they have played here, maybe some people will think that my words are a bit exaggerated, but it doesn't matter because I judge from my own perspective. Now if they succeed again it will make their bond strong with this competition.

The Real Madrid team is very experienced for the Champions League final. However, their performance largely depends on Benzema's performance. Real Madrid won the quarter-finals and semi-finals because of Benzema's good performance. And so Madrid fans have high expectations of Benzema. If Benzema doesn't play well, Rajinikanth's victory in Madrid will be really difficult.

[LGD2Business]

First of all, I would say Real Madrid are very lucky this season. Had they not been lucky, they would have been knocked out of the Champions League after losing to PSG in the quarter-finals. Secondly, Real Madrid is a bit more experienced than Liverpool on such a platform.
However, as a team, the Liverpool team is stronger than Real Madrid. Madrid's defense is weak. At the same time, their performance depends on Benzema. If they want to win the final, you have to reduce their dependence on Benzema. And young Vinicius has to play well.

There was a luck factor, but it wouldn't be right to explain the whole event with luck. Real Madrid masterfully managed to turn the games they fell behind. Benzema's extraordinary contribution to this is undeniable.
I agree that Real Madrid is bigger and more experienced in history. In terms of team quality, I agree that Liverpool is better. But it doesn't matter in the finals. There is only one match in the middle and the result is determined in 90 minutes. Therefore, we can say that both sides are equidistant from the cup.

I don't get your statement. Being the better team usually means winning the whole thing so are you saying Liverpool would likely choke in the Finals? There's no denying that Benzema had been phenomenal for Real Madrid this season but I just have a hunch he will be restricted.

What I mean is exactly as I described above. There is not a huge difference in quality between the two teams. Both sides can win the trophy. We cannot predict what will happen in the match. An early goal or red card can change the course of the match. I just see Real Madrid one step ahead. It's like 51% vs. 49%, not 70 to 30.

I don't know about 2-1... Usually don't happen many goals in matches like that... However, the statistics of personal meetings between Real and Liverpool show that a lot of goals happened more often... I don't see this match as a clear favourite, but I like Real more... I think the southern style of football is more interesting, the more so because Madrid have taken a big break in the championship, it's time to show who's the real daddy!

I don't think that Liverpool is depressed because of the recent performances of Madrid. In my opinion the strongest team over the whole season was definitely Manchester City and the second strongest team is and was Liverpool FC. Manchester City was extremely unlucky again in the Champions League when they were eliminated by Real Madrid because ManCity was definitely the better team in those two matches, but Madrid somehow managed to go through there too, after they already managed to advance against Paris Saint Germain and FC Chelsea where both times Real also was pretty lucky because the other team was stronger in my opinion.
So if both teams reach their maximum performance level today, then i think Liverpool will win tonight.

How do you know that Ancelotti will use the same tactics when they beat Manchester City? I think it's ridiculous if Real Madrid leak their tactics to the public. Even now, the official line up hasn't been released yet.

Talking about predictions and bets, I predict that Liverpool will be the champions and I have also placed a bet for their victory. Even though Real Madrid have a winning mentality, that doesn't mean they will win all the time in the UCL.

Well, my opinion is that if Real Madrid wins the CL title, that one will go down in history for a reason because the turnarounds Real Madrid managed to pull off this year will probably never happen again. And whatever one may think or argue, there was also luck involved. Sure people talk about strong moral and so on, but look at how it was turned around PSG (insane mistake by the goalkeeper), or the header against Manchester City in the 92nd minute. The ball was even deflected before it hit the head of Rodrygo, and because it was deflected the ball had the perfect curve and went back into the net. These things don't repeat usually over 4-5-6 games, but this year it happened.

As you said though, it is almost impossible to predict as an early red card can turn the game upside down immediately. Plus it is not as if Real Madrid couldn't score. They can definitely score and if you fall behind agains them and hit the bar five times over the course of the game, you still lose despite being better on paper. Overall I think Liverpool has played an outstanding season in all competitions, really all competitions. Losing against Man City in the PL is no shame. Winning the Primera Division against a Barcelona that was literally falling apart and Atletico Madrid, which conceded so many goals 10 years ago in one season I think, is not really such an amazing achievement. Copa del Rey was over early as well.

I'd still bet on Liverpool. At least they are able to control a game over 70 - 80 minutes, which is really nice to watch.
