This is what happens in the semi-finals where not all focus is on strength and how good the players are because in the end in the semi-finals apart from the players who do perform but in the end the schemes and strategies carried out also become a situation where the final result in the match is different from what is expected.

PSG we know they are a big club where apart from the money they have, they also have very good quality players which makes them quite stable in possession and attacks but we can see how in the end Dortmund have greater determination even by looking at what Dortmund showed in 90 minutes of the match they actually did very well where they were patient and continued to wait for mistakes made by PSG. They also did not want to get carried away with the atmosphere of playing quickly because they knew that with the advantage they had obtained where there were 2 goals on aggregate it was very good for them to set foot in the final after they did it a decade ago.

In today's match, I support Real Madrid to win and am confident they will do well tonight. It will be difficult for Bayern Munich to get a chance and defect to Madrid at home. Let's see what happens in the game, Ancelotti needs to improve his information in the line-up so that he does not affect the players. If Madrid does not win today, Germany will face each other in the final. Let us see what happens. If Madrid loses, it will be a shame for the coach, the players, and the followers of the team. Madrid will make no mistakes to give Munich a chance to win the game. Tuchel needs the Champions League more than Madrid because they get many players that are bayern munich that are praying they should get the chance and win the game but munich can't win madrid at home so easly. in my opinion because real madrid are better then them this season, and he will be very hard to win madrid in the champions league if munich win madrid tonight i will say nothing will stop bayern munich to know win the champions league final.

Yes, the first leg between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich was absolutely incredible. Both of the teams played really well and if any match actually deserved a draw it was that match in my opinion. But the second leg is going to have a different result. Because we know that we will definitely have a result in this match and it is not going to be a draw. Only one team is going to advance to the final of the Champions League. Of course, most of the people are expecting that it is going to be Real Madrid who will advance to the final of the Champions League. But honestly, I am not so sure. The way Bayern Munich played in the first leg, I think Real Madrid is going to have a problem. And it is not going to be as black and white as we thought it would be.

Dortmund success in getting to the final was due to always being disciplined in maintaining its defense against attacks by PSG players. The match statistics for 2x45 minutes meant that Dortmund had to build a layered defense to withstand PSG attacks, they only relied on counter attacks to pose a threat to the home team. PSG fired 30 shots towards the Dortmund goal, five of which were on target, they also managed to control ball possession reaching 70%.

Dortmund players who always appear disciplined and always close the space for opposing players movements well make PSG players efforts in vain. Dortmund's success provides a valuable lesson for PSG, which has always been targeting top players to win this championship. To build a solid team, you don't always have to rely on money, Dortmund only relies on a few outcast players from other clubs to show their class as a team to be reckoned with.

Seeing how the match between PSG and dortmund was going on, it makes me doubt which team to pick. I think real madrid have greater chance here but no guarantee to win the game even though it will be a home game for real madrid. It seems like that may be avoiding it caused by bayern can't also be underestimated as well.
I'd like to take under for this game. I strongly believe that if we will not see a lot of goals to happen in this game. Expect bayern may be trying to hold themselves unlike the first leg when they can go full offensive against real madrid.
An away game for bayern is not a good moment for bayern to play fully offensive against real madrid. The better for them to play low block.
Even though betting on madrid gave pretty good odds but it's kinda risky compared to bet on total over or under. BTTS is likely to happen too.

Now we have less than 10 hours for having who is going to face Dortmund for the final into this season with things are interesting because suddenly we are having huge upset as we are having from nowhere this German giant into final of this season on the cost of few big teams like PSG, Manchester City and Arsenal which were looking hot favourite for this spot and having enough quality and consistency as well.

Even on papers we are having Real Madrid strong and favourite but as we have result in last night game things can take change, and we can expect another twist which will bring both German clubs to be had placed into final no doubt we are having PSG as one of the unluckiest clubs which fail to bring anything good for themselves even they were good and having enough quality to do things into their favour.

With the sort of quality within the PSG team, finishing ought to have come very easily for them. They should be scoring more goals. I wonder what they did different when they played Barcelona, this was that same team that qualified from the second leg by doing the unexpected. Playing against this Dortmund side, it’s just them finding it difficult to score even a single goal but somehow manages to conceive. I just couldn’t believe it, they couldn’t manage a goal in the first leg at the Bundesliga, now coming down to league 1, same deal of hard luck. It’s just bad!

Mbappe is to class and we don’t see a lot of his talent these days. With him being out of the team, PSG could be done for when it comes to international competitions.

seeing the last five meetings of these two clubs that clearly won by real madrid, I will bet on real madrid. in addition to seeing madrid's performance in the first leg. a solid defense is clear that real madrid will not let bayern munchen win especially playing at home to el real, although it is very clear that we should not underestimate bayern munchen.

Tonight's match will clearly have many surprises on the pitch. Who will advance to the final against Borussia Dortmund?

I got really bored while watching the PSG vs Dortmund match to be honest.    I can't believe we watched only 1 goal while there were so many opportunities to score more. PSG had better get ready for Mbappe to leave soon.   I'm not joking, I don't expect Mbappe to stay after another failure. It's obvious this isn't the right place for him to win CL championships.

Tonight we are hopefully going to watch a football feast.    Another match with a few goals in regular time wouldn't be bad right?

My betting prefs (for regular time):

• Over 2.5 goals: 1.57
• BTTS: 1.52
• Real Madrid win: 1.92

I don't feel an extra time here so I want to try my luck with a regular time win.

Hardluck was PSG’s fate in their two legs against Dortmund in this semi final as they were hitting the crossbar on most occasions in both legs. One thing you can’t fail to recognize is the rock solid defense of this Dortmund side as they prove to be worth it on every attacking threat psg pulled through especially in this 2nd leg. ⁠Dortmund have been known for always grooming talents and you can attribute most of their successes yesterday to the young talents this club has been able to build overtime. These young talents are now helping the club get to the limelight one more time and I think this is another dream come true for the club as a whole.

 ⁠Well I know the Dortmund fans will be eager to have a match with Bayern Munich  as they see this as the best time to be able to get a revenge on their German neighbors on the UCL defeat some years ago and to an extent it’s kind of possible but I feel the chances are very slim. Yes very slim because Real Madrid are better placed to go to the finals than Bayern Munich. With Real Madrid in the final then we know that Dortmund stands mo chance against this current Real Madrid side.
 
 Yes I see them as the winners already of this year’s UCL and this will be a great way for them to reinstate themselves as the biggest team in Europe with over 15 UCL titles. The final will be really exciting whoever plays in there as this is the biggest competition across Europe ans as such football fans all around the world are eager for June 1.

January leaving Manchester United and joining Dortmund on loan made the steps Sancho took very right and now he is in the final after Dortmund managed to beat PSG in the second leg last night with an aggregate lead of 0-2. I think no talent is wasted as long as the club and coach can develop the potential of their players.

Sancho was not the winning player for Dortmund like Hummels, who was the only player to score two goals in two different legs, but Sancho's role was very active in damaging PSG's defense with his agility and dribbling. I am very happy to see Sancho in the right place and I hope Dortmund can immediately make him permanent at the end of the season and negotiate easily with Manchester United. Apart from that, Dortmund will still be waiting for their opponents in the final from the winner between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich later.

what is your prediction for today's match?
yep, I'm sure 90% of you will believe that Real Madrid will qualify for the final round.
in the history of the meeting between the two teams between Madrid and Bayern Munich, it always provides a mystery that is difficult to predict and on the one hand, currently both teams have their own advantages, but from the predictions that I look at more deeply, if the result of the first leg is a draw and in the second leg Real Madrid will not easily allow Bayern Munich to qualify for the final round because last season Real Madrid were defeated by Man City and this season is a big opportunity for Madrid and will not be wasted.
betting on Madrid winning has very good odds but do you have more comfortable betting options such as BTTS or betting on the line?
your opinion is very valuable.

I see that Real Madrid is rated a bit better in terms of their ability to win tickets to the next round, where Borussia Dortmund is waiting for them to compete for the European championship. Playing at home in the second leg of the semi-finals is an opportunity for Los Blancos to win tickets to the finals. Because, this season, Real Madrid is maintaining an unbeaten record at home in La Liga as well as the Champions League. In addition to home field advantage, Real Madrid also has a history behind it to support it. Specifically, Real Madrid is on a recent 8-match unbeaten streak against Bayern Munich, including 6 wins.

Bayern Munich, with the mentality of having nothing to lose, must attack at the Bernabeu to find opportunities for themselves. At that time, Real Madrid had the opportunity to launch a counterattack, like how they eliminated Man City. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate the away team Bayern Munich in this match. Although they did not play successfully in the domestic tournament, in the Champions League they still showed their fearlessness. But even when entering the penalty shootout, Bayern's chances are not necessarily higher, when Real Madrid's Andriy Lunin impressed when defeating Man City.

Many people underestimated Dortmund's chances of winning the semi-finals against PSG simply because the squad included so many unpopular names while dortmund has only one or two popular name on its squad. Look at how lucky Dortmund was during the game. Mbappe's shots were always hitting the crossbar and it was making PSG's attackers were feeling so frustrated with it. There is no luckier team than Dortmund in this match since it was always getting PSG's shoot hitting the bar.

They deserved a spot in the final because Dortmund consistently defends against PSG's attacks even though PSG have been trying to put all of their efforts to beat PSG but the club was failed to do that. We'll see which of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid makes it to the finals first. My feeling is that we will see old history repeat itself, but Real Madrid will most likely win the second leg against Bayern. Who knows if bayern can also give us a surprise like destroying madrid in the second leg.

I guess Borussia Dortmund coach did a great job in this semi-final to impacted his players to able to achieve their victory to beat PSG 1:0 in their home to roll to final stage.

Despite the strong fence PSG lay around their defense to beat Borussia Dortmund, but Borussia Dortmund make way to secured another goal to prove to the world that they are ready to win this trophy to make their fans know that things have changed positively in the team through the help of their coach.

Borussia Dortmund succeeded in this game, through the help of their defenders because they applied good strategy to achieved a good performance in this stage not to allow their opponent to secure a single goal from the first leg and the second leg, which is the best thing any strong team can do to their opponent.

No one actually believed that Borussia Dortmund will be a serious contender in this years' Champions League. They never performed so well in their local league either so where they found the strength to eliminated Atletico Madrid and followed by the French champions, PSG is like a mystery. What is more surprising is the fact that defeated PSG both home and away, bringing down the hype and glory of PSG and their key player Kylan Mbappe. Now they await the winner of today's match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munic. With the performance of Dortmund so far, they might likely win the trophy, they have the team work and energy to make it happen. 

Regardless of PSG unluckiness or Dortmund defense being quite good. However, when from leg 1 and leg 2 they were unable to score a goal, it meant that PSG was quite bad in finishing. In the first half quite a lot of shots were fired at Dortmund goal and in terms of opportunities that should have been a benchmark in the second half for a goal. PSG carried out attacks from every line left, right and center, which were also balanced. Dortmund is destined to get to the final, believe it or not PSG has to withdraw from the Champions League race.

Real Madrid vs Bayern is also not easy to predict, for me even though they are playing at Bernabeu, Thomas Tuchel troops look confident and will still provide lots of opportunities. However Madrid is still Madrid, no matter how bad the conditions are they can always turn things around. Not dominates the field but can be effective if he gets the opportunity to counterattack.

PSG really unlucky especially when you consider the number of their balls that hit the bar, Psg just needed a goal to get the momentum to turn things around but that never showed instead Dortmund got the goal, being able to win PSG home and away is an applause to Dortmund though they were having luck on their side but what can I say its football. I actually wonder how many really place a bet on Dortmund to win both home and also away, Is good to see them in the final after 11 years, less see if luck and other factors will help them to win the Champions league.

with their match ending in defeat against Dortmund, it was the same as in the first leg, which annoyed me, in PSG's match with Dortmund PSG's attacks very often hit the post or crossbar, until I thought it was PSG's match with the goal post. How annoyed I was when I saw PSG attacks continuously hitting the goal post and that made me annoyed. I admit that PSG's performance was good, but I just think they were unlucky so they couldn't score in the first or second leg.

That's right, Borussia Dortmund's defense is very strong, even when PSG attacked I could count the Borussia Dortmund players all in the back line to help their defense so that PSG couldn't penetrate. and with that match I thought Mbappé didn't perform well, also with Dembele who always made mistakes.

Borussia Dortmund has secured their spot in the Champions League final. Their performance was solid defensively, showcasing excellent coordination at the back. Despite playing well, the French side faced another disappointment, hitting the bar multiple times but failing to capitalize on their chances. It's a reminder that football can be cruel at times. However, Dortmund's history prevailed over PSG, earning them a well-deserved victory. Congratulations to Borussia Dortmund.

In the final, Borussia Dortmund will face either Madrid or Bayern, depending on the outcome of their match. It would be a fitting farewell for Reus if Dortmund could clinch the trophy.
