Of course they will have more opportunities to score, they are playing from home so the confidence is already there and that's the same thing that happened when Bayern Munich were playing from home so it's normal for Real Madrid to be the team with the most attacks and dangerous chances beside Real Madrid are in far way better form than Bayern Munich.

Now the score has changed to 0-1 in favor of Bayern. I didn't expect the goal to be scored through Alphonso Davies. He kicked the ball in the right position beyond A. Lunin's reach. But the second half only entered the 72nd minute and Madrid could still respond. And as I type this Real Madrid managed to equalize to 1-1. But there was a small incident before the goal. Namely, there was one Bayern player who was pushed by a Real Madrid player. And the goal was ultimately disallowed because of the foul. So the score returned to 0-1.

what you say comes true if this match is very tough but Real Madrid repeatedly have very good opportunities but fail to score.
like Vinicius and Rodrygo, this time they were the mainstay, several times they got good opportunities but always failed to score and I think Rodrygo was always less than ready in terms of getting quick passes from Vinicius.
seeing that Madrid playing style often puts pressure on Munich and on the one hand, Munich playing style often relies on 2 players to block every Madrid player who is in control of the ball so Madrid has a little difficulty scoring.
but Vinicius didn't run out of ways, he was always able to get opportunities and continued to pressure the Munich defense.
Madrid chances this time are very big because Serge Gnabry had to leave the field and he is one of the very good players who often puts pressure on Madrid but had to leave the field after an injury occurred.

in this match I have several options between Madrid winning and a predicted score of 2-1.

edit: after writing this Madrid conceded 1 score and this is what I'm worried about. Madrid defense often gave Munich free space and several times they received very dangerous attacks and conceded goals.

This is a good thing from Dortmund and of course it is also a special gift for Reus who was known for his loyalty during his prime but had to make the decision to leave Signal Iduna Park and this final was the last final Reus did for Dortmund.
In addition, the Dortmund Final also now seems to open Manchester United's eyes that Sancho is still very worthy to be used as one of the options in strengthening their squad this season, it's just that Ten Hag seemed to turn a blind eye to Sancho which made him return to Dortmund even though on loan.

Now they just need to wait for who will be their opponent in the final because until now Madrid and Bayern are still trying to make some breakthroughs in the matches that are carried out.

Bayern are 1 goal ahead now and I don't really like this but with the current conditions is the bundesliga duo final happening again after a decade? it will be very interesting to see the final result in today's match.

Dortmund was able to survive their own side of the tournament to craw to the final, but I think if it was Barcelona that they met in the Quarter Final, they wouldn't evenast in that place and wouldn't be in the semi final in the first place. If they have also been pair on the side of Manchester City and Real Madrid, they would probably be out of the Champions League by now but they were lucky to escape those narrow paths but I'm not sure if that can happen in the final.

It doesn't matter who get to qualify, whether it's Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, the quality of match I'm seeing here is more than enough to send Dortmund a message in the first half. Bayern has just lead with a goal, I hope they get through with this and in the final, Tuchel will get to celebrate atleast an achievement before they sack him from there again.

Many people feel happy to see Dortmund in the final round because it is a surprising thing. No one predict Dortmund to reach the final, even people still favor PSG in the semi-final. However, Dortmund showed people that they are not a weak team in UCL. They can keep their consistency in UCL since the group stage.

Anyway, most people hope Real Madrid to be the opponent of Dortmund in the final round. Because it won't be interesting if both teams are from German league. According the quality of the squad, I think Real Madrid is better than Bayern Munich.

It is quite interesting because Bayern Munich could score a goal. Real Madrid really dominated the match but they still can't score a single goal. Now, Bayern Munich is leading with 1 goal. If Real Madrid can't equalize the score, Bayern Munich will be in the final round. And we will see all German teams in the final. However, I still hope Real Madrid can equalize the score before the normal time is over.

*Update: Alphonso Davies scored a goal in minute 68'.

Dortmund was very lucky against PSG while PSG was very unlucky against them. I have never seen a match like this, I counted that PSG hit the crossbar for 4 or 5 times in last match and if we check some statistics, their total kick on the crossbar in the Champions League this season was up to 14, that's the record, the highest that any team has ever recorded in a single season.

I'm watching Real Madrid vs Bayern right now and you won't believe but Bayern is winning. I don't know how is German El Clasico called but I think we are going to see that in the final, Dortmund vs Bayern. Real Madrid has still 20 minutes left to score at least 1 goal but what if the result remains the same Oh, such an exciting and amazing matches we have in this Champion's league, my heart races.

Edit - The moment I clicked on Post button, Alphonso Davies scored in his own net.

Bayern Munich is having a bad day against Real Madrid and they are not lucky at all, especially their player Serge Gnabry.
Serge Gnabry was injured in the first leg and he played for his team just for ten minutes hoping to be able to play in the second leg against Real Madrid but a few minutes after the start of this match Serge Gnabry had to leave because he got injured again.
Mybye Tuchel had to don't take the risk to let him play in the first squad.  

Dortmund qualifications was a thing of surprise to everyone, it was psg choice not to have qualified they would have done better than what they did. But the focused point is that who is Dortmund play against in the finale. Because madrids game and bayern still a draw game. Both of them are playing well Madrid have more goal attempts than bayern, for the main time real Madrid is doing very well, there opponent are not joking. When bayern played against Arsenal they tagged us weak but even Madrid is currently finding it difficult to score bayern. It's even difficult to decide wether they are weak or not. So its even better not to underestimate them  and now bayern have 1 goal already you don't joke with clubs like bayern but am sure that Madrid will see equalize this goal.

For Bayern Munich not to concede a goal against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu means that Bayern Munich is pulling out a good performance, which has made it hard for Real Madrid to score easily against Bayern Munich. I thought by now Real Madrid could be leading Bayern Munich, but I am surprised to see Real Madrid finding it hard to score against Bayern Munich. I believe Real Madrid will score against Bayern Munich before the end of the match.

Real Madrid is playing very well but they need to score one goal to keep them ahead of their visitors, if not a slight chance that Bayern will have they might net the ball, and that will be a tough one for Real Madrid. Vinicius is really making a difference in this second half, as he has being crossing out the ball from the left wing, but nobody is always there to put the ball inside the net. Rodrigo just missed a great chance.

Real Madrid have more opportunities to score goals, but so far they have failed to take advantage of these opportunities properly. Vinicius escaped several times from the Bayern Munich defender on the right, but unfortunately his pass could not find his partner.

I think Real Madrid is more likely to score goals than Bayern Munich if Vinicius repeatedly gets away with his individual skill, but Bayern Munich could possibly provide a threat, especially in counter-attacks and set-pieces. This was a tough game for both teams, but Real Madrid had more fire based on what I saw. The score is still 0-0, nothing has changed even though Vinicius once again threatened with his individual skill.

only zero to zero between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich after 1st half, a match that can now easily end in a draw with consequent extra time very close, I remind you that in the event of a draw there is no longer any question of the away goal being worth double.

Real Madrid should pass but now the fear and pressure are increasing for both clubs, it will be tough for both.

Playing with a smile doesn't mean they are free from pressure because when we look at how the game went for the first half we can see that until now the dominance still belonged to Madrid and it looks like Tuchel will have to change some of his schemes because their direct passes were always read and sometimes it had no impact.

In addition, Kimmich and De Ligt are still struggling a bit to narrow down Vini's space, which gives Madarid more opportunities with some other players because Vini is very troublesome even though he is guarded by 2 people.

I think if this condition continues, Madrid could find momentum when they manage to maintain their rhythm in the second half, so inevitably for now Bayern must play more boldly so that they can at least create some opportunities from the attack patterns carried out.

Many of people's was thinking the same thing since they see real Madrid has a fevorite team this season and with the way they make their performance so strong that is why people's was having so much hope for them that they will the match very easily to win. But to be honest is not easy for real Madrid, because the Bayer Munich hold them very tightly even them too didn't expect that performance from Bayer Munich.
The first was end successful and from the results given the first match ended in draw, real Madrid try put some intensity to dominate the possession in first. But due to my view this second half will more tough and interesting them first half, because Bayer will try come back with strong performance so that they can dominate the match.

I am happy that Dortmund is in the final, they are playing very well this year and I wanted them to win. What really matters now is which team will be the other team.
We watched a 0-0 draw in the first half, I am very curious about which team will take more risks in the rest of the match and which one will win. Real Madrid is playing better so far, but it is not easy to predict which team will score

I think Manuel Neuer was the best player of Bayern Munich in this game so far and his performance made Bayern Munich don't lose the game so far.
Real Madrid started the game with an attacking style and they tried to score goals using the forwards they had like Vinicius Junior but the perfect performance from Neuer made Tuchel happy in this game. However, he can't play against Real Madrid alone and the defenders should help otherwise Real Madrid is going to beat Bayern Munich today.

Yeah there is a possibility that the two teams will play a draw but somehow I suspected there would be a goal in the second half, usually the game will be different in the second half each team will be more aggressive especially this is the deciding match. My attention was still on Real Madrid after some efforts in the first half and if in the second half Real Madrid does the same thing then there is a possibility they will score the first goal.

If we bet on Real Madrid to qualify the odds 1.55 not bad right. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are teams that have experience in this competition however, Real Madrid should have more advantages as the home team and Bayern Munich may hope for luck like Dortmund yesterday.

It's half time already in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final game between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich and none of the two teams are able to find the back of the net. So far, the home team has been pressing for a goal more than their visitors but I think there's a possibility that Real Madrid is going to find the back of the net when the second half resumes.
Bayern Munich have also created few chances that they could have converted but failed to score past Lunin. the Real Madrid defense has been very solid and formidable not to allow the German side penetrate. It's a very strong game that's worthy to be called a semi final game in club football's most prestigious competition and the interesting thing tonight is that one of the two teams is going to progress to the final while the other will be dumped out of the competition

In this second leg match, it would not be wrong to say that Dortmund's victory was lucky, because the PSG players' accurate kicks always hit the crossbar. Because from the first half to the second half, I counted more than 4 times the ball always hit the Dortmund goal post. So, if for example a PSG player's kick doesn't hit the goal post, I think PSG will definitely win with a landslide score. However, it seems that luck has not been on PSG's side, because if you look at ball control and opportunities, it is clear that in this match PSG was far superior to Dortmund. Apart from that, I also lost my bet on this match. Because I didn't expect PSG to lose to Dortmund in this second leg. But it doesn't matter, in this match Dortmund played with sportsmanship and did not cheat, so Dortmund's victory in the semifinal match this time deserves our appreciation. Apart from that, we don't yet know which team will be Dortmund's opponent in the final, we'll just have to wait for the results of the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich which is currently underway.

In this first half, no goals were scored by either team. However, Real Madrid seemed to dominate the game more than Bayern Munich. So it looks like this match will be very fierce and maybe there will be extra time.
