[Football] UEFA Champions League Betting & Discussion Thread

[alltalk]

I even fear more for Real Madrid than I fear for Manchester City, because if you consider the way Barcelona was able to defeat them, you should know that Manchester City on a good day can do the same and even worse to the struggling Real Madrid side. Manchester City also has the new players that have signed to join them in the next round of the competition, so they will be a much stronger side.

If we consider the current condition of Real Madrid and Man City, Real Madrid surely looks better than Man City. Man City even couldn't beat PSG, I'm very sure Real Madrid can beat PSG. Man City also experienced many bad results in domestic competitions, meanwhile Real Madrid has no problem in domestic competitions. Even if Man City has new players, I'm not sure if they can be stronger than Real Madrid if they can't change their current condition. So, Real Madrid is no doubt stronger than Real Madrid recently.

Sooner or later we will see what the results are like when the match is held later. For now I also quite agree that Ral Madrid can still be better than Manchester City. But keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that they will really win this match.

Real Madrid also has not fully found the best form of their game, sometimes they can't play well.

Madrid are going to win against Madrid in their champions League playoffs that is coming up later this month with the current form of Manchester City I don't personally see Manchester City as a threat to Madrid which is in form because the two clubs are currently miles apart in current form because Manchester City this season is just trying to survive their target this season is to make it to make it to Europe next season they are not a challenge in any of the tournaments that they are currently playing so this match will be more of a work over match for Madrid that is currently leading the laliga table it will be a miracle for Manchester City to qualify over Madrid

Both teams Madrid or Manchester City have bad capital for the playoff round first leg match in Champion League after defeating at domestic league match, Madrid last match defeated by Espanyol and today Manchester City have losses over 5-1 from Arsenal in premier league match.
Both teams actually have inconsistent performance but Real Madrid success winning three consecutives matches in Champion League just got inconsistent at early games week. Manchester City since leaving by Rodri difficult defend the winning trend and get difficult keep on the top perform in Champion League raise the top eight standings position.

Didn't aged well for the latter as they were also beaten by another team from Barcelona.

Although I agree that RM would still come out on top, both teams are now affected negatively by the compact schedule in domestic and european club competitions. Even though City looked to be having more problems, RM still have to be in top shape to advance.

Miracles often happen in football. but I agree, Madrid has a better chance of qualifying for the next round. City are no longer that team.
Real Madrid and Ancelotti will cook City in the playoffs, and I'm not worried about their attack but the way Liverpool and Barca humiliated Madrid earlier in the season with the way Madrid plays at the back is a bit worrying. Madrid struggled at the back at the time.
And I hope no penalty shootout can save both teams this time.

But after seeing Real Madrid lose to Espanyol I also started to doubt Real Madrid in the UCL later. Man City lost to Arsenal, who is a strong team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid lost to Espanyol, which was actually just a mediocre team and not that strong. And this will make us think twice about favoring Real Madrid. But we will also think twice about favoring Man City. I think both teams are in the same condition which makes it difficult for us to predict. But Real Madrid does look more stable than Man City.

I feel anxious and agitated seeing that Chelsea has slim chances of making it to the champions league next season. King of European football staying at of the compitition for a while now is quit disturbing

Chelsea as King of European football? You have to be dreaming if that's what you're saying. What slim chances? They are currently in the 4th place after beating West Ham but three teams are right behind them. Still, that's not a slim chance to qualify next season.

I don’t understand why people are coming to Chelsea, No matter how they paint it to look good, Chelsea is such a poorly run club.
The team looks fancy in the eye with Cole Palmer and Sancho but this team has no backbone. They always concede, can't grind out results, and can't control games. Chelsea was just too boring to watch, and Maresca is not the one

Maybe he is a Chelsea fan. And I understand that it comes from the perspective of Chelsea fans themselves.

And yeah in some seasons Chelsea have been terrible. And that happened after this club changed ownership. But now Chelsea is starting to improve. And with the young players they have, this team actually has the potential to be even better next season.

But Chelsea is not the best in Europe. Even though Chelsea has indeed won the UCL, if I'm not mistaken, the last time Chelsea won the UCL was when Tuchel was the coach of this team. And after that we no longer saw Chelsea as a strong team.

The Manchester City is going towards the deepest football hell present in history, it has undergone 5 goals from Arsenal, consequently making a truly humiliating result.
How can a kind of kind of kind of go to Europe and bother Real Madrid? impossible in my opinion

One of the teams that benefited in this play-off round is Paris Saint Germain, because they will face a team from the same league and it looks easy for them.

In the last match alone, they were able to beat Brest with a landslide score, that makes us even more confident that this will be an easy match for Paris Saint Germain to win. They really benefit.

I can see that before Christmas Chelsea is trying to come back.
But Chelsea was blinded by signing players and buying a ton of players, they spent a lot of money on it.
When these players realize that they won't get the game time all going to implode. Morale will drop, and results will drop, This could turn ugly for Chelsea. IMO

For PSG against Brest it will not be that difficult. Because we know that PSG has beaten Brest quite often in Ligue 1. And yes, last week PSG also beat Brest in Ligue 1 with a fairly big score, namely 2-5. So even in the UCL I think PSG will also win. And clearly this is luck for PSG because in the play-off round they did not face another strong team.
