In my opinion, perhaps coach Tuchel takes advantage of Choupo-Moting's height to hope for fixed situations. But replacing Kane is not reasonable. I admire Coach Tuchel's talent. But clearly, his decision to replace people deserves criticism. Kane at that time was still an extremely dangerous threat to Real Madrid's defense. Bayern Munich always tries to score in counterattacks. Kane is extremely suitable for this.

This is the first time in 12 years that Bayern Munich has fallen without a title. Another sad season for Harry Kane, although his achievements are remarkable: scoring 44 goals for Bayern Munich in all competitions. Even if Bayern Munich has a rare "empty" season, Harry Kane still deserves to hold his head high. There will be no curse here for such an excellent player. Kane still has plenty of time to conquer titles. With strong potential, Bayern will sooner or later return for revenge next season and of course, Kane is still the core of that plan.

I won't blame the coach for his changes after Bayern Munich took the lead in the 85 minutes of the match, most coaches will do the same, there was only few minutes of play left and definitely he will have to bring in fresh legs and turn to a defensive mindset. If not for the bad officiating of the match in the dying minutes of the game, Bayern Munich did exceptionally well. You can't go all attack again after getting a 1 goal advantage and the time wish winding down already. For me there is no point in blaming the coach, he did his job very well and most of us here if given the opportunity we will do the same. It's quite unfortunate that most of the decision went against Bayern Munich, but am proud of the Munich team, they gave real Madrid a good fight.

We don't need to doubt the mentality that Real Madrid has, especially if it is a final match. From the record of those who managed to advance to the final several times, their record of winning in the final was almost perfect, only a small percentage of them failed to win in the final.
Their opponents are Borussia Dortmund who are considered no better than Real Madrid, so their chances of winning again in the final match and winning their 15th title are increasingly open.
Yes, they were the best team when they were in the Champions League, they were the most successful team in this competition by winning 14 times. Their current strength is also very good, they have very reliable players. Even though they are still young, they can answer the trust of a coach.

A win in regular time came by Real Madrid as expected but I wish it didn't end debatefully. It was a clear mistake. No matter it was offside or not the problem was raising the flag very early. 

Anyways I wouldn't like to discuss this in detail anymore after 2 days passed. Congratulations to Real Madrid! I believe they were still the deserving side with their impressive game.

There hasn't been any Real Madrid - Dortmund finale in the CL so far. I wonder how things will go while Dortmund are also on a really good run. Honestly I don't expect Real Madrid to waste this title chance. They can finish it in regular time. 

Behind Real Madrid's progress to the final, there are a number of questions regarding the neutrality of the referee's leadership in this game. Overall, the referee's bias towards Real Madrid was not apparent, but there were several decisions from the referee that were very detrimental to Bayern Munich. The referee's most controversial decision was when Bayern Munich scored the equalizing goal through Matthijs De Ligt kick in the 90+13th minute. If you look at the replay, the goal was valid because not a single Bayern Munich player was caught offside.

The referee should not be able to ignore the rules in making decisions regarding Offside and the line referee does not need to rush to raise the flag as a sign of offside because if it is considered that the incident is still unclear, there will be VAR which can help the referee make a fair decision without harming any party. This incident reminds me of when Real Madrid beat Barcelona in El Clasico some time ago when the referee did not review Var on the goal scored by Lamine Yamal, but whatever happened on the pitch the result of the match could not be changed and Real Madrid managed to qualify for the final.

What happened to Bayern Munich this season is not Harry Kane's fault as if he was unlucky because since his arrival Bayern Munich have failed to win any titles and failed to defend the league title they have won for years. Harry Kane has done his job well, he has performed well in Bayern Munich and created many winning goals for Bayern Munich so how can he be blamed for all of them when he himself still performs well and contributes the most so the one who is to blame for all of this is everyone whether all the players and also their coaches lack good chemistry and lack of cooperation with good, so Bayern Munich didn't show their best, apart from that, Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga was also quite impressive. Maybe that's what dampened the mentality of the Bayern Munich players.

In the Champions League itself, Bayern Munich has tried hard to reach a better level but who would have thought that they would have to face Real Madrid in the semifinals, whoever the club faces Real Madrid will definitely experience a lot of pressure because Real Madrid is a club that is difficult to beat in the Champions League. So Bayern Munich also can't do anything if they end up being beaten by Real Madrid even though they have tried hard to get the Champions League title.

Yes, Bayern Munich's failure in the UCL and Bundesliga cannot be blamed entirely on Hary Kane. Because if you look at his performance at Bayern Munich this season, you could say he is a very productive player compared to other players. So blaming Hary Kane for Bayern Munich's failure in my opinion is a very big mistake. Because we need to remember that a football team consists of 11 players who compete on the field, so the team's failure certainly cannot be blamed on just one player. Therefore, in this case, Hary Kane does not deserve to be fully blamed for the failure that befell Bayern Munich.

Apart from that, Bayern Munich's performance this season is actually not too bad. Whether it's in the UCL or in the Bundesliga. The reason is that in the Bundesliga Bayern Munich managed to become runner up, apart from that in the UCL, Bayern Munich actually almost qualified for the final round. Especially if, for example, in the second leg of the semifinals, the referee's decision regarding Bayern Munich's equalizing goal in the final minutes was not considered offside, I think Bayern Munich could have beaten Real Madrid and qualified for the UCL final.

However, because the referee deemed Bayern Munich's equalizer to be offside, Bayern Munich ultimately failed to advance to the UCL final. And in the end, after the match was over, the referee who led the match realized that the goal was not offside and finally apologized to Bayern Munich.

So from here I can conclude that Bayern Munich has a very good performance. Even Real Madrid had difficulty keeping up with Bayern Munich's game. However, because Bayern's defense was a little less good and the referee was less careful in making decisions, in the end Bayern Munich failed to advance to the final UCL.

Yes, the struggle of Bellingham and his friends has now borne fruit and of course after winning the title in Laliga, of course they want to win the trophy in the Champions League because of course this is more prestigious and of course Ancelotti's troops will fight seriously to win the trophy in the UCL. PSG has fantastic strength but in the match against Dortmund PSG really couldn't take advantage of opportunities well. I personally don't understand PSG's performance at that time but if you look at it in terms of mentality, it looks like Dortmund will definitely feel comfortable because the meeting in the semifinals of the 1st leg is already ahead 0 -1 so I see Dortmund really enjoying the semifinal match in the 2nd leg.

I agree with you because I saw that the ball kicked by PSG players always hit the goal post and yes it seemed like luck was on Dortmund's side but still PSG's performance was very good and they were considered to have extraordinary strength but yes they have not been lucky this season to noadvance to the final .

We won't know in the final match whether Dortmund or Real Madrid will be lucky, but it seems my opinion is the same as yours that in the final Real Madrid will be able to win the trophy in the UCL. and it looks like in the final I want to bet on Real Madrid winning.

Real Madrid team has experienced players due to which they can definitely win the title in the final match. As they entered the final by performing very well in this match and came to the semi-final with great effort. Many thought that they would snatch the title because Real Madrid are very attacking, so in the final match, they will definitely hurt the opposite team. There is no way they will try to put up a bad performance in the finals, as they have performed well throughout the season. Real Madrid do not have the players to miss this chance to win the title if they do well at the end.

In matches like the UCL finals  it is a well experience referee that is always in charge of the match, and he will not favor any team, because he can lose his job since a lot of top football fans have placed their bet, and after the world cup finals, it is the next. So cautious and transparency will be displayed by the referee.

Evey finals that Real Madrid have won, they deserve it, because that is what the club is for to win UCL. Real Madrid focus is never on domestic leagues and that is why you see that they love buying an outstanding player that has made name for himself, because the combination of such players are the kind players that can win the UCL. Real Madrid will win the match but it will not be as we expected.

Whatever happened after the Real Madrid game against Bayern Munich in the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League doesn't affect the future of Toni Kroos at Real Madrid. The German international is going to remain at the club beyond the end of the current season because Real Madrid president still believes he's got a lot left in the tank.

Another on that list of letting loose and retirement is Luka Modric, these guys have played there hearts out for Real Madrid, had the admiration of the fans and a lot in trophies to show for it. They’ve had such a successful career thus far with the team and retiring with such glory would be a way to end it.

Though it’s quite early to talk about what to expect in the champions league final, I think Real Madrid is going to claim their title once again, it’s not the underdogs game, nope, Real Madrid is the one team you don’t hope to see in a champions league finals. They’ve got all they need and it takes to lift the trophy and that I know they will.

I don't have the slightest doubt that Real Madrid will win their 15th UCL trophy this season. From all sides, if we compare the quality of Real Madrid with Dortmund, they are very different and what is certain is that if Real Madrid qualify for the final it will be very difficult to beat, just look at their history. When it comes to controversy, there is always controversy, but if seen objectively, the referee's decision was indeed wrong when the goal was scored by a Bayern Munich player. The position of the Bayern Munich players was actually not offside, it was just that the referee had blown the whistle which made the Real Madrid players no longer try to block the ball, so the goal seemed to be allowed. by Lunin. that's why the referee can't do a var check anymore. Maybe if the referee doesn't blow the whistle before the goal is scored, the referee will check the var.

BTW, this match is exactly like what happened two years ago between Real Madrid vs Manchester City. At that time Real Madrid was behind 5:3 on aggregate from Manchester City, and yes, a comeback occurred when Rodrygo came on in the final minute and scored 2 goals. To be precise, in the match against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid fell behind and finally made a comeback when Joselu came on and scored 2 goals in the final minute. And FYI, this incident was the same as in the semifinals of the Champions League and at that time Real Madrid managed to win the UCL League. I think this will also happen again this season.

The only way they have to win Dortmund is by their ability and squad quality to withstand pressure and make use of any important chance that come their way.

Take the case of referee aside, Real Madrid in several occasions Madrid has defeated Dortmund both home and away, they only drew two matches in their last five encounters which simply means Madrid is better than them even with current form because Madrid won the Laliga while Dortmund is out of top four in their domestic league (Bundesliga). Therefore, I don’t think referee will do bad officiating that day because they obviously know that Madrid will win.

The rumor about Toni Kroos shouldn't have correlation with Real Madrid playing in the final UCL. I already heard about the rumor of Toni Kroos to leave Real Madrid since the early of the season. I think it is normal as long as Real Madrid doesn't extend his contract yet. However, I still believe that Real Madrid will keep him for another season because his role is still quite necessary for Real Madrid squad. Moreover, Modric will leave Real Madrid in the end of this season. Real Madrid should try to keep Kroos in order to balance the squad condition.

I think Toni Kroos still has a chance to play for Real Madrid in the next season. Even if it is rumored that Kroos has decided to retire or moving to another team, it shouldn't be the final decision yet. Let's see how Real Madrid management to negotiate with him! Real Madrid management must know how to convince him to stay.

Real Madrid has the mentality to be champions and Dortmund is looking for hope to steal a chance to become champions. I think the two teams competing in the final will be equally strong and they can amaze the audience with their good performances. Indeed, the kings of the Champions League are Real Madrid and it could be that this season they will add to their UCL trophy collection if Real Madrid manages to beat Dortmund.

Bayern Munich failed again even though I wanted to see the German final where Bayern vs Dortmund but my hopes did not come true. Even so, I think Dortmund is a surprise team and they cannot be underestimated. For Bellingham, he will face his former team, of course it will be an emotional match for him.

Now since we are going to see Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Dortmund, there are some rumors about Toni Kross the player of Real Madrid.
After the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Toni Kross didn't leave the field and he was looking at the stadium while he was with his family.
Real Madrid wasn't to try keeping Kross for one more season in the team but he still wants to get retire and it seems this final match is going to be his last game in the Champions League.

You are right, Real Madrid is a team that has the status of king of the Champions League and has won many titles in history. Of course Real Madrid has the experience and good mentality to challenge anyone who will be their opponent in the final, Dortmund is clearly nothing if squad depth and game strategy are the benchmark.

After all, Real Madrid has many ways to win matches, although sometimes in a slightly controversial way. The referee sometimes plays for Real Madrid instead of the other team, but this is not a scandal that is really worth worrying about in the final. I definitely don't expect a final as controversial as the referee's decision in the second leg yesterday, it was clearly detrimental to the other team.

Definitely Real Madrid cannot come this far only to end up loosing the finals because they have in mind to winning the champions league this season a s that's why they have decided to making sure they were able to have gotten this far, Madrid has got so many experience enough to not get to this point and loosing the champions league especially to a team like Dortmund which they will consider inexperienced.

In the game between PSG and Dortmund you are right Dortmund was actually Lucky because in the second leg, they were actually very determined, PSG did played very well and was very determined to be able win the game and be able to staying ahead of Dortmund but then Dortmund was able to defend from getting to lose the game, PSG had the ball concentrated around Dortmund post which has made them had much pressure on Dortmund a d it was obvious Dortmund was just trying to defensively see if they will be able to not concede much goals and still be able to win with they have got already.

Dortmund and real Madrid in the finals most likely mean that Real Madrid is most definitely going to be able to win the champions league this season because they have got a much better performance and form than Dortmund considering the performance of Dortmund against PSG in their last fixture. Real Madrid in a long time has not been able to win the champions league so it's very possible they are definitely going to win the trophy this season.

Yes, the end of the match was simply amazing, but there are still questions for the referee, despite the fact that he added so much extra time that actually equals a whole in overtime, he made a mistake that put Real into the final and gave Bayern no chance. We're talking about offside, which as it turned out in the aftermath was wrongly determined, but he didn't even bother to review the moment. I'm a bit annoyed that Real's referee often decides everything, and I don't think I'm the only one who gets annoyed by it.
