Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread

UEFA has just officially announced:
''UEFA can confirm that the Champions League round of 16 first leg between Leipzig and Liverpool will now take place at Puskás Aréna in Budapest on 16 February.''

RB Leipzig 20:00 Liverpool

Right now I doubt LFC will win even if that game will be played in the moon. Their actual record is very bad while Leipzig is more consistent in its league...

I agree that Liverpool are in a very big crisis at the moment but I wouldn't write them off so easily.
Champions League is a completely different competition in which players always give their maximum and are especially motivated.
After losing to Manchester City the Liverpool players know this competition is their last chance and I'm sure they will be particularly motivated and show their best.
It wouldn't be the first time that a club that stands badly in the national championship wins the Champions League.

That club was Real Madrid. But to win the Champions League, Real refused to fight in La Liga, losing it in the first round. Liverpool is unlikely to do that. I think if Allison would have played more confidently, the score would have been a draw.

Liverpool was in this situation a couple of years ago where they had to win at least 1-0 in their home field again Atletico Madrid if I remember correctly and they were fighting only for the Champions League and they couldn't go more than a 0-0 draw so I doubt Liverpool is capable to win the Champions this year.I think Manchester City is better suited to win the Champions as they have fought so far for this without achieving it.Based on their form which is at the top winning every game and beating every opponent they for me are the top contender this year together with a few other teams.
