Paris Saint-Germain are semifinalist and facing one of the elite Bundesliga side, a true test for PSG this season. We should not underrate Borrusia Dortmund that have fought to reach the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League this season. Edin Terzic have a solid plan for his team and have remained undisclosed till he achieved his target while Luis Enrique have managed to handle his former team, he taught them a lesson and they will live to have this in their memory.

They need to secure Ligue 1 trophy as soon as possible to have full focus on their biggest ambition of winning the Champions League. Dortmund may seem struggle in their league, but they are so different in Champions League. Dortmund survived for a tough group stage, showed their resilience and determination in the knock out stage. I think both teams have equal chance to reach the final.

One big valuable for PSG is that they have Luis Enrique as their manager who is an experienced coach in Champions League. Observing their game against Barcelona, PSG need to improve their performance. Their loss at home to Barca should be concerning situation, even though they are reaching semi-final after beating 10-men Barca at Camp Nou. It's clear to see that they were actually not better team than Barca. I;m doubtful about their ability to beat Dortmund if they don't improve their performance.

discussing PSG in the Champions League, we can't say that Dortmund is a weak team because just look at how Dortmund destroyed ATM with a score of 4-2, and their meeting will take place at the Signal Iduna Park stadium.  PSG must be careful, especially since winning the UCL has been PSG's dream for a long time, if Enrique is successful in bringing PSG to win the UCL then he will make new history for PSG.

Yes of no doubt Is finance the main block of the success of every football team, as without financial capacity most clubs tend not to be successful because they lack the financial capacity to do some things. Take a look at the current Barca squad and then you’ll understand the need for finance as the poor financial state of the club is making the club perform on an average level. ⁠For PSG, you can yes they are balanced financially especially with the Arabian owners, which means the club has some good cash to spill on investment for success.

 Though most of the club’s success can singularly be attributed to Kylian because of how much impact he brings to the club and you begin to wonder what he club will look like when he finally leaves for free this summer. ⁠Well, the club is financially buoyant and should be able to immediately get a sharp replacement that will be able to step on the shoes of the departed Kylian. Now the main problem will be getting that fit replacement as we know mist players find it hard to be consistent with their top performance.

 ⁠That not withstanding, with a good scout, I think the club will be able to check someone who’ll be able to easily fit into the shoes of Kylian as that’s what the club needs to keep remaining dominant in the league. Anything outside that could sure see a repetition of how they suffered when Lile won the league but I don’t think the club’s board will willingly let their club be ridiculed like that as they will rather spend the cash to sign adequate players for the club.

And at least, this time, they're closer to doing it. Or at least, it seems like their chances of getting into the finals are very high. Not to underestimate Dortmund. But if you look at the three other clubs that are still in the UCL, Dortmund is one of the weakest. Therefore, PSG should be able to perform very optimally when they compete against Dortmund tomorrow. Because this is the only way for them to succeed in getting into the semi-finals. If we win, we'll see who will be the next opponent. If it was Real Madrid, it would be absolutely extraordinary.

PSG opened up new hopes after qualifying for the semifinals of the UCL League, beating Barcelona. There is some truth in what you convey, if Bayern Munich manages to beat Real Madrid and PSG advances to the final, it is not impossible that PSG's dream of winning the UCL League trophy for the first time will come true.

Moreover, PSG is currently not under too much pressure in Ligue 1 because currently they are very firmly at the top of the standings with a difference of 10 points from Brest. So you can be sure that PSG's current focus is only on the UCL league. In the next match, PSG will face Lyon in front of their own supporters, of course PSG will easily beat Lyon. It is true that Lyon is currently on the rise but is not yet strong against PSG who are euphoric after qualifying for the semi-finals of the UCL League.

I think PSG's success in beating Barcelona in the Champions League was not the result of luck but the hard work of those who appeared aggressive at the start of the first half, especially after conceding first. I am not believing with the luckiness in football because PSG playing well and huge pressure since the first minutes match begin before fatal mistake did by Barcelona's defender.
Depend on format drawing the quarter final until final round, PSG have easily with format but the schedule have announced since quarter final and its not debate with luckiness or not PSG success for the first time lead to semifinal round after failure back to back last two years their participants in Champion League have eliminated on 16 round. Have two weeks left for first leg match semifinal match, PSG will secure three matches left in domestic league before facing Dortmund and make close for winning Ligue 1 tittle for this season.

They are also seeing their team do well enough, they haven't been to semi-finals in a while if I am not wrong, and that means they are doing fine, there is a possibility that they could win the whole UCL, not saying they will, but it wouldn't be impossible neither. PSG will be playing against Dortmund, and I am not saying that Dortmund is an easy team, we have seen them destroy Athletico Madrid just the other day so it is of course a tough game, but PSG is a much better team and we have to accept that.

Beating Dortmund wouldn't be the toughest thing they did this season, in fact I believe maybe Barcelona was harder as well. Then whoever wins Madrid vs Bayern game, that will be very tough, incredibly difficult, but PSG may end up getting the UCL title on their last season with Mbappe, it's a possibility.

PSG are lucky indeed, they were lucky by facing the weakest teams among those present and even in the semifinals they won't face the hardest teams like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
PSG should now hope to see Real Madrid eliminated by Bayern Munich because Bayern are easier for them than Real and for once they could hope to get the Champions League title. Obviously they should not underestimate Borussia Dortmund

Personally i would want to congratulate PSG on getting this far in the champions league because it's actually not really easy as there are other teams which were actually aspiring to get to this point,teams that will be considered relatively even better than PSG such as Barcelona and Manchester city but these teams Weren't able to make it this far even after Barcelona hd a victory in the first leg of their meeting.

PSG has been able to achieve that which no team across the Ligue 1 has been able to achieve in a very long time in the champions league, it's only been PSG who has been able to go this far as they have gotten to the champions league semi finals and we are actually hoping that by their performance it's very possible they will get to the finals of which this will be the third or fourth time they have gotten to the finals if I'm not mistaking, if this information is wrong i stand to be corrected. But in the whole of Ligue 1 apart from PSG others when they get to qualify for the UCL they hardly get pass round of sixteen.

PSG has always dream of winning the champions league trophy and so far they have been working towards it such that the chances they my be able to achieve it is gradually getting close such that they can be able to get to the finals and then they will have to do their very best and strive to bring home the trophy but then Madrid has gotten more finals experience and may know how well to handle the situation which will mean much extra effort for PSG a d a record for mbappe if they get to win.

Yes and I am one of the people who say that PSG was lucky to beat Barcelona because in reality we can see that playing 10 players against 11 players is definitely not fair and even though it was luck, PSG was able to take advantage of this opportunity very well and was able to beat Barcelona.
Playing against Dortmund is not a small problem but it will indeed be a big problem, but as long as PSG can find a way to see Dortmund's weaknesses, PSG definitely has a chance to qualify for the final round.
Yes, I agree that the chances are still 50:50 because in terms of performance, PSG is superior, but in terms of experience, Dortmund is more experienced and we can't yet see how big the chances of these two clubs are, of course coach Enrique must be careful in managing the current players.

PSG was lucky because Borussia Dortmund was their opponent, if it had been Atletico Madrid, it would have been very difficult to go to the UCL final. Even so, PSG can't underestimate Borussia Dortmund, because sometimes Borussia Dortmund can produce unexpected results.

On the other side of the UCL match we'll also see Bayern Munich - Real Madrid, PSG fans hope that Bayern Munich will make it to the final, but is that possible considering that even Real Madrid can win against Manchester City who are more favored?

Indeed, Real Madrid is basically the strongest title candidate team at this moment after successfully eliminating Manchester City in the quarterfinals. But even so, it still won't be easy for Real Madrid to get the trophy because of course, Bayer Munich who has lost the trophy in the domestic league, of course Bayern Munich will maximize the chance it has in the Champions League, eventhough Bayern Munich should to play against Real Madrid in the semifinals.

But about PSG, I personally really don't believe PSG will win the Champions League trophy because after all, playing against Barcelona in the quarter-finals PSG also almost lost. After all, if Barcelona still to play with 11 players in that second leg, then I'm sure PSG will find it difficult to turn things around. But yes, unlucky for Barcelona but lucky for PSG, because the advantage in the number of players like that makes PSG really succeed in qualifying for the semifinals.

After the defeat in the first leg PSG was able to make a comeback in the second leg although many considered if PSG was only lucky to beat Barcelona yesterday, but despite all people's assumptions of course PSG's hard work has now given good results by qualifying for the semi-finals, PSG will face a strong team from the bundesliga in the semi-finals later but I think PSG' chances of beating Dortmund are still 50/50,  Because after all Dortmund is a team that has a strong mentality when playing in the Champions League, besides that we can all see how Dortmund can bounce back and comeback after they were also deefeated by Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League.

In my opinion, now it is beter for Enrique to continue to improve the performance and mentality of their players to be really ready for the semi-final match later, for now PSG only need to make sure if later they have a complete squad go Germany to face Dortmund in the first leg and It is important for Enrique to Rotate players in Ligue 1 to avoid  their main player injuries.

After this victory, Paris Saint Germain's opportunity to be in the final is wide open, they can take advantage of this season to become a season that can make them win the Champions League title for the first time, yes, even though it is not very easy for them because if they break through The final will be against one of the teams, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, and most likely they will face Real Madrid. Certainly the French public will fully support Paris Saint Germain this season to be successful in the Champions League.
But I personally always have the same feeling about them every season, I always doubt them when they are in the Champions League. one of the reasons I have that feeling is that in my opinion they still don't have a good mentality when competing in the Champions League, especially in very decisive matches. I think they will fail again, but maybe my prediction is wrong.

Of course, PSG will get the support of the entire French League. If PSG wins the Champions League four teams will qualify automatically for the competition next season instead of the normal three. It might also attract more viewers and investors to Ligue One. For me, PSG might get to the finals because they have a better team than Borussia Dortmund but I am not sure they can win either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the finals. The match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid is highly unpredictable since both teams are in the same class. Both Madrid and Bayern have won the title multiple times, it will be good to have a new club engraved in the UCL Cup.

Even if PSG can beat Dortmund and reach the UCL final this season, I still have doubts about PSG winning the Champions League trophy this season. Because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are teams that cannot be underestimated in the Champions League competition, so one of them will definitely be a serious obstacle for PSG in terms of getting the Champions League trophy this season. But before that, we will all also enjoy how PSG faces Dortmund in the semi-finals at the beginning of next month.

Every season Ligue 1 sends three of their representatives to the Champions League including through the play-off round, last season PSG was at the top of the standings and Lens was in second place at that time so they got an automatic ticket to be able to play in the UCL group phase, while Marseille was ranked 3rd in the standings had to go through the play off round, but unlucky for  them fail to play in the UCL, so that made them have to play in the European league this season after lose from Panathinaikos , in my opinion apart from PSG, of course there is no other team that can get tickets to the UCL consistently and easily in Ligue 1, apart from that, other teams qualifying from Ligue 1 is only a complement to the UCL quota so far,because 100% I believe that there is no Ligue 1 team that will be truly strong enough to compete in the UCL like PSG.

PSG is now in the semifinals, but to be honest, I'm not sure they can beat Dortmund and get to the final because after seeing the second leg yesterday, I think PSG was just lucky to win after Barcelona got a red card in that match, after ensuring their qualification for the  UCL semifinals, of course PSG will have a Ligue match at this time and I think when their position is safe at the top of the standings of course PSG will not take the risk of playing their main squad in that match, but even so, PSG will still be the favorite to win match against Lyon in week 29.

I think it's an even match. Although I think PSG is a little better if you look at the squad list they have. Both lost to the Spanish team in the first leg but were able to beat the Spanish team in the second leg. We cannot underestimate Dortmudn even though they achieved bad results in the Bundesliga. I think the match will be competitive. If asked which team I would choose, I would choose PSG who advanced to the final.

Yes this match is really interesting. Lyon once struggled to escape the relegation zone but now they are a strong team in the league. They were surprisingly able to beat Brest in second place. This means that currently Lyon cannot be underestimated. They can give PSG a surprise. But this match doesn't seem to provide any benefits for PSG in the League. PSG is almost certain to win the league title again. But this is an important match for Lyon because if they are able to achieve positive results in the remaining matches they even have the chance to get a ticket to the UCL next season.

PSG played better in the second leg and that was what has given them the most advantage of qualifying for the semifinals of the champions league competition. Barcelona got retard ever since they gave them the red card in the first half of the game. The game took a big change and PSG were dominating the game with more attacks and possession. It was an interesting match and the better team won in the end.


They are both great teams and one should not overlook one team over the other one because any of them can be the winner in this encounter. They both have experience in this competition and you cannot tell which team is more superior than the other as their performance this season in the champions league have been the same. I foresee a competitive match here, but will make a lot of sense if the winner is not decided by penalty kicks.
