[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

[koang]

Another disappointing team has to be Atletico Madrid, boy I gat no words for these lads ...conceding 4 goals without a reply against a team like Benfica wtf..worst result should have been say 2-1, 1-0, 2-0 not 4nil in a champions leagues fixture !!!

Worst game of the Simeone era and I fear there will be more to come.
The players have not done things well, they have been bad even the team playing worse than last year.
There is no excuse for today's loss, the mentality team is very weak.
No phrase motivates me to believe in what the team is doing.
Another bad thing is that we think that everything will go well for this team it doesn't, they win or draw by pure luck and the game was played just as badly as today.

Having this type of shocking result isn't really a new thing in champions league. Due to new format we are seeing more and more. Back in the day we saw big teams play with bad teams a few games and they just won, here we see a lot of games between bad teams and big teams, and a few of them could be shocking like this based on the odds. I mean look at the odds, bad teams have like 5-6-7 odds, rarely more than 8, and that means since there are 8 games, it entails one game could be shocking result. The real shocking part it was three games that were shocking, so obviously everyone lost money.

I know Wednesday fixtures usually come with surprise results but I didn't think Villa would get maximum points against a giant like Bayern, and btw big teams lose by narrow margins and that's what we witnessed this evening, well played Villa.

Today's match is very different from yesterday's match. Even some are very different from the results of the top clubs that competed yesterday, although not all, but there are some top clubs whose results are really surprising.

LOSC vs Real Madrid -> Real Madrid LOST 1 - 0
Benfica vs Atletico Madrid -> Benfica humiliated Atletico Madrid 4 - 0
Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich -> Aston Villa defeated Bayern Munich 1 - 0

Well, Real Madrid really misses Kross, who controls the ball in the club during the match, no matter how strong the front line is, but the movement of the ball is quite different from when Kross was still there.

This week's UCL was a shocker, I think a lot of people were frustrated because they bet on big teams Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to lose surprisingly while Atletico Madrid lost so badly to Benfica.

Aston Villa's victory at Villa Park stadium was so anticipated especially this win over an elite team like Bayern Munich, I really saw them celebrating after this victory.

Because after 42 years of absence in the UCL and now they are back again.

This Champions League day is scary
I never expected Real Madrid to lose, so it confirms the fact that I don't see him in good health
I never expected this humiliation for Atletico Madrid
And I never expected Aston Villa to beat Bayern
incredible, i not bet in champions league usually, hard game to predict

The Champions League is never boring because of this. That is, sometimes the favorite team loses and a team that is considered weak can actually win. Even though it's quite annoying. Because we have bet with great confidence. But the results were not as expected. On the other hand, a club like Dortmund can actually play an extraordinary game which makes them win with a big score. The big teams that were favorites but suffered defeat yesterday, such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, were not all lucky. especially Real Madrid and Bayern who have fought well but are not good at finishing. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid experienced defeat because they did not play well enough and only continued to receive attacks from their opponents in greater numbers.

In the third UCL match, which is 3 weeks from now, there are 2 matches that will be very interesting for us to look forward to. Namely the Real Madrid match against Dortmund and also the Barcelona vs Bayern match which everyone will definitely be looking forward to. Let's see whether when facing fellow strong teams, Real Madrid and Bayern will win or not.

Coaches must have many options, because they have to do a lot of rotation to maintain the fitness of their players, not to mention when they are hit by a storm of injuries, it will certainly be very difficult for them.

For the teams with proper number of players, it won't be a big problem to rotate them. But there are some teams with quite small number of players, it won't be easy to rotate them. Moreover if the level of main players and second tier players are too different. It will be a big challenge, too. Because of this, I think each team in UCL will try to get quality players more than the the previous seasons.

Actually, some time ago there was also a protest about the tight schedule, even before the new Champions League format was implemented. But in fact all of that did not get any response.

There is always a protest about the schedule but I don't see any change. UEFA may think they have done their best, they can't change the schedules. But now, UEFA also change the format. Not sure why the format must be changed this season.

Well, who wouldn't? It's a dream start for Villa and it's only right that they celebrate while they are on the winning side. If they were playing with the old tournament format, they are most likely to advance to the next stage after two wins. Since UEFA added more games in the new format, we still won't know how this will turn out.

This new format is going to deny some top teams from going into the round of 16. Two games have been played so far, and some top teams that we are familiar with are not even present in top 10. Well, I won't be surprise if Aston villa moves on to the next round. They're literally playing with confidence. At the beginning, they where looking like the underdogs, but after two games, it seems like they've been playing the UCl for years. Brilliant display against Munich yesterday. And if a club knows how to take every chances, then they won't find it difficult to win their games.

The real shocking part it was three games that were shocking, so obviously everyone lost money.

In this week's Champions League results, none of us saw the match losses coming in that way. For the three big teams we all expected to win their match would later lose to small teams, making everyone who bet for the big team to win end up losing their bets.

It's very unbelievable that Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich would lose to their opponents. Next in their Champions League match, who knows whether they will win if someone should place a bet win on their head. It's hard to say because their wins in the Champions League are no longer guaranteed

Yep, It hasn't happened like this for years. People think it was luck but for me no, Unai Emery is a good coach and this is not Unai's first win over Bayern, when coaching PSG and Villareal he also did it.
To win against a mastodont as Bayern is, is something worth celebrating but There are still a lot of games to come and Villa needs all of them, It's still early in the season.

Lille's match against Real Madrid left me amazed and speechless
I never thought that Real Madrid would lose against a team, let's be clear and honest, inferior in everything
inferior in terms of staff
inferior in history
inferior in experience

yet Lille won, thanks to them and also a demerit of Real Madrid, it seems to me to be in crisis

Yes, we will always see, because there will always be pros and cons, we cannot stop some people who are pro and some people who are against, because that is their right. And actually we can't do much, because there are already provisions and it is agreed by those involved, the club for example.

I prefer to just enjoy it, because if there is something that is not right, there will definitely be changes again, or try to change the schedule so that the break can be longer, yes, but that also has to adjust to the FIFA agenda.

But I know football never disappoints, The Champions League is pure magic and drama, Always exciting every single Time!
And so many memorable moments this week, a Great comeback from Juventus, Lille's amazing win (What a memory for the Lille supporters), and Durán's majestic lob.
This is quite amazing, Seriously this is quite amazing and It's a good thing.

The Champions League is a competition that we always look forward to every season, this is the biggest competition in Europe but it has spread throughout the world, I mean all eyes are watching this competition.

There are always surprises, there is always drama and so on. We can enjoy this and indeed this is a form of entertainment for us football lovers. Every season we will wait and wonder what will happen at the end of the season.

Lille gives us information that Real Madrid is not in good condition. The depth of these two squads is actually quite different. And Lille's consistency in Ligue 1 is also not that good. This is different from Real Madrid, which is quite consistent and they also have squad depth whose quality is never in doubt. But Real Madrid's defeat really makes us think that in the UCL, even teams that are not favorites can bring big surprises. Last season Dortmund also did it, surprising everyone by making it to the final. And maybe there will be a team that we don't expect that will make it to the UCL final this time.
