Bayern doesn't really care about the league anymore, that's really a boring situation, third place would have been quite bad, but they are not doing that anymore so all they care about this UCL, and to be fair, there is a very strong possibility that if they win this game, they are going to win the title, and while that would be bad to miss out on Bundesliga title winner streak and lose to Leverkusen there, it would end the season on a great note.

Tuchel is known to do that, on a horrible Chelsea season, he managed to beat City and win the UCL title before, so Tuchel could do the same with Bayern as well, feels like not all that complicated. I believe that we are going to see Bayern fight really hard, will not be easy game for Real Madrid at all.

You are right. If we consider the performance of the teams in the first leg, then Dortmund and Real Madrid seem to be the most qualified for the final. It is true that Bayern Munich performed well in home matches. But Real Madrid were very tactical. So the team was able to draw the away match. And we know that Madrid is very strong in the ho match so Real Madrid now have more chances to qualify for the final than Bayern Munich.

On the other hand, Dortmund performed well in their home match against PSG. Dortmund won the match 1-0. PSG's overall performance was quite good, but neither team managed to score in this match. Now it cannot be said for sure whether PSG will win the home match 2-0. Since Dortmund played well and won the first leg, Dortmund naturally seem to be favorites to qualify for the final at the moment.

Dortmund chances are still not safe for them to advance to the Champions League final this season, the 1-0 victory over PSG certainly at least makes their mentality very high to face the second leg later, I think Dortmund will try to defend to secure their victory but of course still try to attack PSG defense later, so far we see if PSG rely too much on Mbappe so that when later Dortmund confines Mbappe very tightly of course PSG will find it very difficult to develop their attack later.

I think even though Dortmund only narrowly won over PSG in the first leg, but I think they will still try to play optimally in the second leg later to be able to get a ticket to the final round, even though PSG has the quality of players that are above Dortmund, but still Dortmund still has a chance to win or at least get a draw at home to PSG,  Moreover, we can say if in the second leg PSG' will have a heavy enough burden to be able to make a comeback, let alone winning the second leg is their only hope of Advancing to the final to be able to get the Champions leeague trophy for the first time.

We’re in the semifinals of Europe’s most elite competition and you can commend the 4 teams in this stage of the competition because they really deserve the slot they’re having. And as such, it wouldn’t be out of point if you want to gift the title to any of the 4 teams because they are all deserving of it.
 
 ⁠They all have a fair share of reason why they should deserve the title and I’m certain they are also ready to put in work to be really deserving of the title. Dortmund has been pretty consistent and have shown the warrior side in this year’s UCL and also a good farewell for Reus who has dedicated most of his career to the club, winning the UCL will be a good gift for Reus and the teams fighting spirit.

 ⁠For Bayern though in the league they haven’t had the best of performance but you can’t say same for them in the UCL as Harry Kane has been really outstanding for them in this competition. Winning the ucl for Bayern will be a glorious one especially a big reward for Harry Kane’s performance for the team in this competition as this could be his first ever trophy
 
 PSG who haven’t won this will want to win as they’ve gotten the whole resources to win this but haven’t had their name in the history book of winners, so winning this will be a dream come true for the club and fans. Real Madrid too have been excellent as winning this will also add more value to their name as undisputed Kings because their journey to success has been one of a kind. A lot of us still have high hopes of a Real Madrid vs PSG finale, well football still remains unpredictable and all I can say is which ever team gets to the final, it will be a really exciting and thrilling final and any team who wins is is well deserving of it.

I think PSG is the favorite because they played quite well in the first leg even though they lost by 1 goal Agg, but if we look at the performance of both teams, there is a big possibility that PSG can turn things around in the second leg.
I judge from the performance of both teams and although Dortmund cannot be underestimated, we also have to look realistically at the fact that PSG will play at home.

Dortmund's victory in the first leg had a bit of an element of luck, overall Dortmund were not able to completely control this match and there were several PSG attacks that failed to be successful so I see from the overall performance of the two teams in the first leg that the PSG team was more detached from the final result but that could be reference for what will happen in the second leg later.

Mbappe possibly joining Real afterward? That's primetime, high-stakes football right there. PSG struggled against Dortmund, which added drama, but they have the firepower to recover. That crazy comeback against Barcelona? Clean electricity. Bayern was destroyed by Real. They're Champions League-ready and deadly when it counts. They could reach the final and win if they keep this momentum going. But I'm not sleeping on PSG. They've stunned us before, and with Mbappe in beast mode, who knows? This final is what we want: one that makes you yell at the TV

Bookmakers currently rate PSG as favorites to reach the final. This may not be fair, but there is logic in it: in terms of team strength and statistics, PSG is obliged to score at least one goal in a two-game confrontation with Dortmund. Therefore, it is obvious that one goal is not enough advantage for Dortmund. Will Dortmund be able to score a goal in Paris and will Dortmund be able to win in extra time if PSG wins the return leg by a narrow margin? Bookmakers believe that these events are likely with chances of less than 50% and give preference to PSG.

On paper, PSG is certainly the favorite in the second leg match against Dortmund. There are many reasons we can put forward why PSG is the favorite. Of course I don't mean to underestimate Dortmund and the one goal advantage they have, but in many aspects we can see that PSG really has a big chance to turn things around. Sure enough, Dortmund had greater luck in the first leg, where PSG actually played well there too.

PSG will definitely increase the intensity of attacks from the first minute, to catch up on the goal deficit first, if successful then the match will be easier to control. Dortmund in this case does not have many choices, meaning they will definitely play carefully to maintain their lead, and will tend to play defensively.

On the other hand, even though PSG winning percentage in the second leg is quite high, betting on their victory also requires consideration. In terms of preparation, PSG was lucky to have more free time, where Dortmund had to play another match in the Bundesliga. Luckily, Dortmund managed to win big with a score of 5-1 against Augsburg.

I'm looking forward to this year's final which will be Real vs PSG. This will be a match that can give fans as well as newspapers many topics to discuss. However, the one who stands out and gets the most attention is probably Mbappe, facing the club he is expected to join as a free agent this summer.

Many fans of both Real and PSG will also look forward to the two teams meeting and this will be a match that shows Mbappe's true value. However, to witness this dream final, the obstacles both Real and PSG must overcome are quite large as Bayern and Dortmund are both tough opponents. Real had a slight advantage when they held Bayern to a draw away from home, while PSG did not go as smoothly as they let Dortmund take the lead in the first leg. The scenario of two German football teams meeting in the final is also very likely to happen, but in my opinion, this final pair will be quite boring if this German football civil war happens.

PSG as the favorite makes sense. First game wasnt a blowout, they had chances, just lacked finishing. That shows they're in this. Paris crowd is something else - players will feel that, could be the edge. But Dortmund, they will not quits. They fight, they've proven that. Is different in Paris. That away goal changes EVERYTHING. Do they sit back and just defend? That's risky. They gotta be smart, find ways to score while staying tight at the back. This match, folks, its gonna be a nail-biter. Best of luck to both teams, they deserve it.

I agree with you that a one goal lead is not enough for Borussia Dortmund in this match, because a 1 goal lead is very likely to be answered by Paris Saint Germain, especially in terms of actual strength I think Paris Saint Germain is still better than Borussia Dortmund. Indeed, this 1 goal advantage can provide great motivation for Borussia Dortmund, but it will not be easy for them to maintain the advantage they have now achieved.

Paris Siant Germain will appear as hosts in this match, that will make them even more motivated to be able to turn things around. They also realize that their opportunities are still quite open in this match, especially since this may also be their last Champions League with Kylian Mbappe who will leave at the end of the season. If they can win and be in the final then it will be a hope for them to win the title for the first time, yes even though it will be something difficult.

Based on what they have displayed in this UEFA champion league competition, I guess Bayern Munich and Dortmund will going to meet in the final battle because they have shown some signs in this semi-final to change the mind of people to make them their favorite teams to qualify for final.

Unless Dortmund score another goal in the 2nd leg I will continue to see PSG one step ahead. Yeah, I'm saying it despite being aware of Dortmund's 1-0 advantage.  

Have you seen how many goal chances PSG wasted? There were shots hitting the goal post and big chances with comfortable headers wasted also. I will expect a more capable PSG next time.

Considering Dortmund aren't a wonderful team at defending they will need to make up for potential goals to be conceded. Honestly I would love to see Dortmund in the finale but their job is still a tough one.
