I think the only thing Real Madrid have going for them at moment is the bragging right of having more Champions league than Chelsea. Otherwise, they have never defeated Chelsea in an any official game in their history. Chelsea seems to have the better of them. I think Chelsea can match this Madrid side, they are not as great as they look on paper if Barcelona could outplayed them like that.

Come on, it's an outdated story because it happened decades ago, now it will be a little different friends, apart from the title and history now both clubs are different from the past and I don't think it's very ethical to compare the old history with now.
The performance of both teams is now quite good and indeed this is a fact regardless of the advantage or victory this will be seen from their performance and current strategy.

Although Real Madrid do not have very good statistics with Chelsea and apart from that they had a painful loss at home with the league, but they have to admit that Karim Benzema was not in that game, and although he is not only Real Madrid but rather the whole team, he is the most relevant player and for now in some way he gives a very good vibe and another rhythm to their game, when it is their turn to play with Chelsea I am sure that they will not come out with any kind of fear and with desire to go and undo all statistics that do not leave them good numbers.

I think that when Real Madrid play in the UCL they do it differently, with more effort.

Why you are not sure that Man City probably defeats Atletico Madrid? Man City is surely a stronger team, they are in 1st place in EPL and they have more quality players. While Atletico is only in 4th place in La Liga and their performance isn't at its best during this season. Many Atletico Madrid players performed rather badly this season, a bit far from our expectations. Based on the stats of these teams, Man City is more favored.

All the above you said are very much correct, City are favorites to beat Athletico Madrid, i mean, there are only a few teams (one or two maybe) currently in the world that City wouldn't be favorites against; but this is the CL and Athletico Madrid are a tough opponent to contend with, i personally do not admire their pattern of play (park the bus, and counter), but who knows, they could use it to frustrate City and pick up a surprise victory, that doesn't mean i am not expecting City to win, of course i am, my prediction is that City wins this game home and away, but my point is this: never rule out the possibility of an upset.

Despite the fact that Manchester City occupies first place in the Premier League, and Atletico Madrid only shares third or fourth place with Barcelona, I would still advise you to pay attention to the fact that Manchester City has been experiencing obvious problems with results lately and has almost let Liverpool close to itself in the standings, and Atletico Madrid, on the contrary, finally began to feel for their game and achieve the desired results in recent matches. Paradoxically, if you think globally, Manchester City is one of the main contenders for the title of the winner of the Champions League, unlike Atletico Madrid, but I would not be surprised at all if Atletico Madrid can go further to the next stage Grin

It is going to be very likely for us to see a Liverpool - Bayern Munich draw in the semi finals. And this kind of a matchup would be really insane. This matchup would be no different than a Champions League finale. And let's say we got this matchup, then I would favour Liverpool to eliminate Bayern Munich. Because I think that Liverpool are a more credible team than Bayern Munich for even the title now. Bayern Munich sometimes have really big problems and Liverpool are the right team to benefit from those.

Looking on match at quarter final between Liverpool and Bayern Munich have potential on next stage to semi final because Liverpool vs Benfica and another match Bayern Munich vs Villareal. Talking about what the result later I want to see Liverpool as favorite candidate to lead final stage on champion league and hope Real Madrid will be against for Liverpool on final stage champion league, also still have several match before to final and looks have potential for Liverpool and Real Madrid lead to final in this season.

I'm not sure about a Liverpool - Real Madrid finale. Because a draw between Manchester City and Real Madrid would be a very interesting one. They both are incredibly strong in this season of the tournament. In fact, I started to think as you too. I mean Real Madrid can eliminate Chelsea and Manchester City both respectively. They are having a much greater season than the previous one now. And this can be a great opportunity for them to even win the championship. But we will see if we'll get wrong.

This match will end with a total destruction of ATM or a goalless draw imo. It all depends from Man City performance and injuries list next Tuesday.
Otherwise this game appears more interesting than Benfica - Liverpool.

Exactly, The match between Benfica - Liverpool may not be as interesting as other matches in this UCL. Moreover, it seems to be an easier prediction of Liverpool as the winner of the match. Not really worry about this.
It is continuous with the match between Man CIty and Atletico Madrid that is more interesting than Benfica - Liverpool, of course. Both are not small clubs. But, each of the has its own interesting portion. I am sure enough that Man City can bring more interesting matches and defeat ATM. This is not easy but it can be.
What I am wondering about is the match between Chelsea-Real Madrid that has higher tension of match. Both have its characteristic of powers, have more powers and also performance. Cannot be underestimated each other.

Liverpool is leading EPL? Have you checked EPL standings, dude? As far as I know, Man City is in the 1st place. Huh

Anyway, I agree that Liverpool is a stronger team, compared with Benefica. Liverpool should have a bigger chance to qualify to the next round.

This is going to be a great match between these two teams and I expect nothing less than a close match. But I think Chelsea should be the team with the advantage because frankly speaking their squad is the better one in my opinion.

Chelsea got a better team for sure but judging at how Real Madrid managed to win against PSG even when they had to score 3 goals just show that they are on the other level compared to Chelsea though

Quote from: Minecache on March 28, 2022, 01:36:55 PM

They also have a great record in the last 5 matches.
But on the other hand, Real Madrid doesn't have that type of record in the last 5.

I seems to be missing the point of this but which record are we talking about? You cant based the result on the last 5 local league record on the UCL game. As for the head to head record, Chelsea won against Real Madrid in UCL last season and even better that Chelsea scored 2 goals then won the game on Stamford Bridge as well

Although I hope Chelsea win the match, you have to look at the situation objectively. Real have a much better chance of winning, they are more experienced. But I also think that Chelsea are more agile and carry out more dangerous attacks, so it's difficult to analyze from one side... Chelsea are also still tense in their league, unlike Real, who have no problems and feel comfortable in first place

Manchester City - Atletico Madrid draw can be really fun for us to watch. But maybe we might see few goals in the second leg that is going to be in Wanda Metropolitano. But my expectation from the first leg is going to be quite high. Because all of us know how great Manchester City are playing in their home matches. They literally own those matches and make us watch a match with a high tempo most of the time. And I hope to see at least three goals in that match too. And obviously, Manchester City would advance to next round.

This match will end with a total destruction of ATM or a goalless draw imo. It all depends from Man City performance and injuries list next Tuesday.

Man City - Atletico Madrid
Liverpool - Benfica
Bayern - Villareal
Chelsa - Real Madrid

Man City, Liverpool, Bayern and Real Madrid will snatch their wins with minimum of 3:1 or 3:2 against their opponents. But yes the matches betweeen, Chelsa against Real Madrid and Man City and Atletico Madrid will be interesting to watch.

Manchester city may defeat Atletico Madrid but am not too sure about it. Liverpool - Benfica, it is certain that Liverpool will defeat benfica because Liverpool is a strong team with good performance, in the epl they are leading.
Chelsea- Real Madrid, Real Madrid may defeat Chelsea because Chelsea performance is not stable.

Chelsea versus Real Madrid is the game of death, you can't say Chelsea performance is not stable because they have been winning there games, I mean ever since the Russian Ukraine war news surface that involves the owner of Chelsea (Abramovich) I think Chelsea have not loss a game they even qualify to the semi final of the champions League with ease so I don't understand why you say they are unstable is even Real Madrid that lost 4 nil to Barcelona before the international break that you should be scared about.

No football predictions is real or accurate, saying that Manchester city will defeat real Madrid because football is not something you can hold at hand, what is important in football is the performance of the players for that particular tournament, so i dont conclude in a particular team to win each other, that day atletico Madrid may turn back to win Manchester city irrespective of their subsequent performance

Football results are always uncertain until the game have been played. Manchester City are likely to win in the first leg, because the game will be played at Etihad Stadium, and Pep will probably use his best strategy. Although, Atletico Madrid is quite a strong team, and can't be beaten easily. While, Real Madrid Vs Chelsea will be interesting to watch. Is really difficult to predict who will win here. But, if Real Madrid starts with their first 11 players. Then, they can be able to resist the formal Champion League winner.

Liverpool should have won this game, how could they not win, they are ahead from every angle over their opponents Benfica. In football anything can happen, but if Liverpool lose and fall in this game, I think it's a shame for them. But I don't think for Liverpool's defeat this time, I really believe they will win the game.

Champions league is not really a "anything could happen" place when it comes to teams like Liverpool. Not saying that it is impossible but they really need to play like they normally do in order to win the biggest cup of football. If they end up losing to Benfica, that would be a big bigbig let down for them and it would not die down that easily.

These teams end up working extra hard for games like this, Liverpool literally had a 4-0 comeback after a 3-0 loss to Barcelona a few years ago, and I believe that could be the year they won the cup as well. Teams provide 100% no matter who they face, just so they would not have any upsets.

Quote

- Benfica's record in UCL this season
Record: Win 3, Draw 3, Lose 2, Goals 10 and Conceded 11
Top scorer: Darwin Núñez (4)
Round 16: 3-2 agg vs Ajax
Group E: runners-up

- Liverpool's record in the UCL this season
Record: Win 7, Lose 1, Goal 19 and Conceded 7
Top scorer: Mohamed Salah ( Cool

Round 16: 2-1 agg vs Inter
Group B: champion

from this comparison, we can see that Liverpool had a much better performance than Benfica during the UCL match this season. I predict the final result of this first LEG match will be Liverpool 3-0 Benfica even though Benfica is the host.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea, I hope both can be with this match.Real Madrid always surprising in UCL. This UCL What a come back Real Madrid against PSG. But Chelsea have more strong team.It's not a easy match for both team.If Benzema and Vini Jr will be showed their real performance then i think Real Madrid will win.I hope this will be more interesting in UCL match.

Which team will lead after the first leg? There is no doubt that Real Madrid will shine.

Real Madrid are fighting from every angle. In addition to some senior players, they have some young talent who keeps them going. The squad is capable of destroying any opponent. There's no doubt they're hungry to beat Chelsea when they meet in the quarter-finals. It's no secret that Chelsea will be a strong contender in the champions league. Although that's not a huge deal, their regular performances are good enough to beat them.

First leg match is going to be played at Chelsea home which mean most chances Chelsea can win and have some advantage but as we already watch in last match Real Madrid is having ability to catch opponents in second leg.

Now, here all depend on Chelsea how they play at home because if they take some good lead like 2 - 0 then surely they could be favorite for having good chance but if they play like PSG then we can watch another very exciting match even it's not going to happen like match against PSG but still Real Madrid is now showing good aggression even they lost against Barcelona at home but it's completely different match and stage is also not like Barcelona match which done another amazing job for having their best return at league table on top.

I think Real Madrid actually needs a renovation of the whole squad because the squad seems to be depending on the older generation and the football of this time actually depends on the fast pace and counterattacks. For that to happen the squad needs a lot more younger players. Compared to Real Madrid, Chelsea is a better team. But I think Real Madrid has the experience that is needed and that might come in handy.

I don't think so much.
Even though they still depend on older players but don't forget some of the younger players who are doing well there.
I think they are a pretty good mix now but indeed in terms of attack and targetman they have to start improving next season, Benzema is still a reference but when Benzema can't play then this indirectly affects because there is no goal machine that can be used again because the players the other strikers are dull when Benzema is not around

True they have a chance against chelsea since i think chelsea performance is not as strong as it was last season and in the begining of this season but i think they have no chance to win the ucl especially if they face man city since their play stlyle is similar to barcelona and we all know how the last classico ended.
