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

We can give all the time of the world to Lionel Messi at PSG but I don't think that he will be as good as his times when he was at Barcelona. I think that we should accept this already. He can still increase his performance level of course but I don't think that he will be as good as Mbappe. PSG would like to see Messi performing near Mbappe actually to reach their goals easier especially in the Champions League. It is up to Messi to work hard and do better than this.

I don't think that PSG's still not winning any Champions League title is related to Neymar or any other player now. The problem must be their current management style. I wouldn't like to put it like Pochettino is a bad coach of course. I really like him as a coach normally but I just don't think that PSG are the right team for him. He has been successful in the Ligue 1 but it isn't the same when it comes to the Champions League. I hope to see them reaching an agreement with a new coach for this reason.

Hot news right now Zinedine Zidane is being linked with PSG
The former Real Madrid coach is known for successfully bringing Real Madrid to three successive titles, winning the 2015-2018 Champions League.
PSG is a team that has never win the ucl title, if psg manages to make zidane the new coach, i think it is a good step for psg to be able to appear in the ucl and maybe psg have the possibility to feel the uefa champions league title

After Ronaldo left the team, Benzema became his worthy replacement. And in the last few seasons he has been consistently performing well. But Real Madrid are unlikely to find a worthy replacement after Benzema leaves the team.

Benzema is a striker who is patient with problems both on and off the pitch and is also a person who is not selfish, restrains his ego which not all players can and has a winning mentality. like when he was duet with ronaldo, really patient must not shine at that time.

Messi's performance this season has been like that of an average player. Messi should not be expected to perform extraordinarily well now. However, in important matches, experienced players like Messi are very important in the squad. Although Mbappe is very talented, he is not experienced enough. However, although Messi has not performed well this season, he may be able to perform more consistently next season.

I'm really curious about one thing especially and it is what manager we are going to see managing PSG as of next season. Pochettino is still rumoured to be sent from the team in this summer but there isn't still any clarification about that. Let's say that he is going to be sent then who will be their next manager? Is it going to be Zinedine Zidane as many people are hoping to see now? Or is it going to be an unexpected one? In my opinion Zidane should be their next manager to help them win the Champions League championship finally.

Zidane would be the best for PSG at this moment. Pochettino hasn't done so well for this team (also considering that isn't so easy to manage PSG). I guess that PSG is in need to be managed from a star that is able to

manage stars. So, Zidane is perfect for them.

The reason Mbappe stayed at PSG was not because of Zidane, because before or at the time Mbappe received a contract extension at that time Zidane had not been linked to coach PSG. Basically before Mbappe insisted on going to Madrid but PSG wanted Mbappe to stay, until Mbappe got a raise and had privileges and Mbappe was like being pampered at PSG, at least that's the reason Mbappe chose to stay at PSG. In fact, previously from different news Zidane had refused to coach PSG but now the rumors are back up and it looks like it will become a reality.

Yes, that's how it happened. Mbappe signed a new contract at a time when there were no rumors about a change of coach at that time. Now PSG have decided to end Pochettino tenure in the next few days. Zidane is preferred to be PSG coach next season because Zidane has a lot of experience both in the domestic league and in the Champions League. I think whoever is appointed as PSG coach in general, PSG owner Nasser Al-Kheilafi will have high hopes for the coach to be able to bring PSG to win the Champions League Trophy.

A team like PSG with a compact squad and players starting from the defense,midfield and forward should be winners of champions league following the quality of their players, they are quite similar to the quality of players in Manchester City. The management seems to be the problem here although they have not been bad in their domestic league, but I think they should take it beyond their domestic league And strive to win the champion league, Mauricio Pochettino is a good coach but I think the club should try some else who is more capable and can  help them win the champions league

Do you think so? Benzema is really cool but he gets frustrated when his teammates are not doing well on the pitch, this reminds me of when he said other defenders should not pass  ball to Vinicius some years ago and later apologized for the comment, other players like Messi and Ronaldo also has that angry altitude, maybe most stars in football do too because people always expect much from them, Ronaldo smashed a kid phone when they lost their match against Everton.
I don't think Benzema will leave Real Madrid anytime soon, the way things are going, he'll be on a long-term deal.

I also remember the times when Benzema was looking like a really selfish and arrogant player. In his last season at Olympique Lyon and also in his first years at Real Madrid he acted a lot like a really spoiled kid. He knew that he had incredible talent and he made sure that everyone else also noticed that. He also acted like a diva back then sometimes.
It seems though that this time is over now. Benzema is now 34 years old and definitely in the last years of his career and it seems like he has matured a lot. He has now the perfect combination of talent, passion and dedication and in addition to that he also seems to be a great team player now.

Benzema is a very talented player. In the last two seasons, Real Madrid has relied solely on Benzema's performance. And last season, Benzema was the main protagonist behind Real Madrid winning both important Champions League and La Liga titles. Now he is a very experienced and tidy player. At the same time his bonding with the players of the Real Madrid squad is excellent. This is why he has been able to continue to consistently perform well. Maybe next season we will see Benzema in a stronger form.

I saw Benzema leaving real Madrid although this will be a big advantage to the club that will buy that star player, Real Madrid will need to replace the position Benzema is leaving. I see a lot of new players that have great potential to put Real Madrid in the 1st spot next season.

Well,I don't think Benzema will be leaving Real Madrid anytime sooner,he has been an incredible player at the club since he was bought,and according to Ronaldo,he said Benzema is the best nine he has ever played with in his career,because even when Christiano Ronaldo was at Real Madrid scoring goals,Benzima was also scoring goals,to show that he was a good attacker.Then when Ronaldo left,all the goals has to be him again.
He has done a good job for Real Madrid,but despite that,I don't see the French man leaving his club now.

There has been a lot of rumours when it comes to Benzema future, the performance he put in the just concluded season both in champions league and la liga has brought him nomination of balloon d'or, his greatness didn't start today even with the presence of the best player in the world in the person of Christiano Ronaldo in the same team with him it didn't stop him from scoring goals, and as seen he doesn't have any intentions whatever to leave Real Madrid in the nearest future, the french man also takes his good performance to the national level as the as he doesn't stop scoring goals for the France team.

From what I've read, if I'm not mistaken Benzema will stay until 2023 at Real Madrid and after that, we will see him retire. But even that is not entirely certain and officially confirmed by Benzema. However, if you look at his productivity at Real Madrid, he is already very optimal, therefore he will present his last performance for Real Madrid. He is a loyal character to this team.

Every football player's behavior is sometimes arrogant and some are very good. And this can accidentally steal the attention of many people. If we discuss Karim Benzema we will never forget when he incited his team-mates. So therefore the importance of cohesiveness to prevent such things. Every team must have experienced this so it's not too surprising if someone claims this player is very arrogant. During this season, Benzema has been able to show an attitude of maturity and become a role model for Real Madrid young players for the achievements he has given to Real Madrid this season.

However, although Messi has not performed well this season, he may be able to perform more consistently next season.

Saying that Messi can't be good as when he was at Barcelona could only be determined by some factors. Firstly because of his age, the Argentina Star is already 35 and at such age any footballer no matter how good you were something must have left. Secondly, the amount of playing time, if the new manager of PSG gives him a good playing time I think he would also be good though not as good as Mbappe who's still below 23 more youthful More energic and vigourous, rather as an experienced player and balloon d'or winner for more than 3 times he still deserve some respect and would still be productive.

The patience and anger of a player is quite relative when he sees something that is not as expected. In football, moreover, the mentality of a captain must be big enough to suppress emotions. Benzema is also a human being who I think is almost all emotional when the game is going pretty badly. It's a common thing that happens in the field.

Although still looking pretty good and productive but Benzema age has now reached 34 years and maybe 1 or 2 more seasons he will be able to maintain his performance, but in 2020 Benzema once said that he would not end his career at Madrid and he hinted to return to France and chose to retire there, that's why I think that maybe 2023 will be the end of Benzema career at Madrid and maybe he will return to the club (lyon) that has contributed the most to his career so far, right now his career is at the peak and that's why maybe he will continue to try to get the best before he actually decides to hang up his shoes.

All of PSG players have no doubt of quality, the PSG squad is already filled with top players on all fronts, the biggest problem facing PSG because it has not been able to win the Champions League even though it already has the best squad. The role of the coach is very vital in a club, the coach also determines the tactics that will be used by his team when competing. The coach must be good at concocting players who will compete, so that his tactics become effective and efficient. PSG need a coach who is mature at European level and able to think to succeed the team he leads in every match, I think Zidane is very suitable to be in PSG coaching chair to be successful in the Champions League.

I guess it is not just about having the great players on your squad neither, but they do not have the best players or something like that on each position. Think about it this way, if it wasn't for Mbappe and Neymar and maybe now Messi, would we really see nunomendes or ramos at this age, or hakimietcetc as the best defensive line of ligue 1? They would be high up there for sure, or maybe even the best, but the front line makes sure that the other lines looks better as well.

I am guessing that without Mbappe alone, they would have been much worse. However, I agree that Zidane is much needed, there is no guarantee that he will win them UCL, but he will have a higher chance for sure.

PSG have no problem with the squad quality now that's for certain. The main problem of their not being able to win a Champions League title yet is that they need to be under the control of a right manager for them. If they do bring the right one then their chance of doing this would increase incredibly much. I believe PSG deserve to make it as much as Manchester City. I hope to see both of them as the champions here. They are teams that have the most qualified squads.

When it comes to the line-up, it is clear that Paris Saint Germain has a luxurious squad. But in the competition they are still difficult and lost to a team that does not have a squad as luxurious as theirs. Indeed, sometimes if a team is strengthened with many famous players it can't maximize it, and this happened to PSG. It should be with the squad they have now, they can compete even further.
