From what you explained, you hope that a surprise will occur this season where Dortmund will make history by becoming champions. Yes, who knows, because Dortmund game in the Champions League was so impressive, they were able to show their best strength by beating strong teams. Dortmund does have the opportunity to advance to the Champions League final this season because they already have the capital to win in the first leg so they will play better in the second leg to ensure their progress towards the final.

Between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, both teams were equally strong in their game in the first leg. But I think Real Madrid has a big chance to advance to the final because they will play at home in the second leg. The surprise may be in the second leg between PSG vs Dortmund where this match will be full of tension for PSG because they have to win the second leg to advance to the final. Mbappe must show his best qualities to help PSG achieve victory in the second leg.

Of course PSG will still have a chance to be able to turn things around because PSG will also play at home but, at the same time, Dortmund and PSG are in a safe situation and position in their respective league standings. With thisfactor,it will certainly make PSG and Dortmund able to play even better in this Champion League semifinal match. But at least, because Dortmund also has an aggregate victory even though with it is only 1-0,but at least Dortmund is in a better situation. Because ofcourse, if Dortmund manages to play with good defense and discipline, then at least PSG is also still possible to get a deadlock.

Personally I wish for same but then it's very funny how Madrid may actually not let this dream come through. Dortmund will eventually want to make sure they are able to win the trophy as they have  won only one champions league before now so it's more like an opportunity for them such that they have not had in a very long time and they will do everything to getting this one and bringing it home for the second time.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are two experienced teams in the champions league and I'm very optimistic about their performance because these two team have had the champions league experience upto this stage more than twice so it not a new thing for them a d they are most definitely having the technicalities on how to handle this point of the game they have gotten to, I'm sure it's the toughest of the semi finals this season because both teams are both strong and experienced just like they did fixed Manchester city against Real Madrid and Manchester city lost.

I'm thinking it was a plan to get only one too team and another average team to the finals and not the regular finals where we get to meet only the top teams getting to contend each other as they have been able to make it to the finals of the game so somehow we could say the champions league is taking absolutely a very different shape this season a d I'm expecting to see a totally different action this season .

The goal difference between PAG vs Barcelona game cannot be compared to Dortmund’s game because Barcelona and PSG are used to each other and they have been in this stage and Barcelona won a while back just as PSG did this season.

Dortmund might win again or draw in the second leg unless if Luis Enrique will develop a good attacking pattern that can generate more goals for the team in the first half; and Dortmund can also defend their game to at least get a draw in the match so as to qualify to the finals of the Champions League this season.

This loses is still not ended for PSG because they still have any chances to reversed the situations and win the match and in my opinion why PSG lost in the first leg is because all of their front lines players including Mbappe were unable to performing well so Luis Enrique should be evaluation this match results and focus for second leg and actually PSG has good chances to eliminate Dortmund because we all know PSG since group stages is very strong at home
Recently i have seen the statistics between them and both teams has been met several times in this competition since 2020 and everytime PSG playing at their home against Dortmund they always be gets positive results and PSG even still unbeated at home from Dortmund so after seeing these meeting statistics i am quite confident PSG will be able to overcomes Dortmund with 2 goals margin or more and advances to the final match and for betting option seems bets for PSG win is easy money

PSG has all the necessary tools and work ethics to make this a reality and besides the goal margin is just a goal difference so everything possible so I will not be surprised at all if they were able to make that win which can secure their place in the next phase or stage of the champions league.

PSG certainly deserves to be the favorite in the second leg match, where Enrique fleet will act as hosts, it is clear that Dortmund will have difficulty maintaining this one goal lead. PSG are actually very lucky to have made it this far in the Champions League, I even predicted they would fail to qualify from the group phase at the start of yesterday's campaign. So it could be said that PSG still has hope of turning things around, but they have to work hard to make it happen.

However, in the second leg match PSG will be under great pressure, the first target is to try to equalize first, it will be up to you whether the winner will be determined through a penalty shootout. Apart from that, Enrique must be able to maximize Mbappe best potential, because this is his last season with PSG, it will be very impressive if Mbappe faces Madrid in the final.

On the other hand, Madrid or Bayern are still more favored to win the Champions League trophy than PSG or Dortmund, but it does not rule out the possibility that a team that is not the favorite can win the trophy this season. The Champions League is basically quite difficult to predict, we have seen lots of surprises happen, including one of them being City elimination yesterday. Let's see who will advance to the final round.

We agree on this one, Paris Saint Germain actually played well. Unfortunately, PSG players panic easily and they don't calm down when under pressure. Mentality problems are a real problem for PSG, Luis Enrique has homework to fix it. some players are not suitable to play with their consistency, Enrique should replace them. It's not easy, especially as we discussed in this thread. I'm sure that Enrique actually knows the problems in his team's squad, but it seems that he needs other efforts so that the match progresses as expected.

As for ambition, it seems we don't need to discuss it. This is the most elite league compared to the competition in the European League. Moreover, Ligue 1. Well, in the second leg, Paris Saint-Germain has a big chance to win the match to overthrow Borussia Dortmund. Apart from playing in front of their own supporters, support poured in to make the PSG squad even more enthusiastic and motivated. Moreover, it is supported by the odds provided by the bookie. In the second leg, PSG was far superior to Dortmund. My question is whether Dortmund will play openly or Edin Terzic will choose to play defensively and counter-attack when PSG is off guard. To be sure, we are waiting for the second leg of the match to be held.

Besides it is not interesting, I doubt that Bayern Munich can defeat Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. Bayern Munich can't defeat them in Allianz Arena, how they can win in Bernabéu? Personally, I don't see a chance for Bayern Munich in the final of UCL. Real Madrid should play in the final because the Leg 2 will give them a big advantage by playing at own stadium. So, it is very unlikely to see Bayern Munich in the final UCL this season.

I also assume this to happen in Leg 2. PSG may come back at their own stadium, the aggregate is only 1-0, it is not a significant difference. Even if PSG failed to score in Leg 1, I see they have a big chance to score some goals in Leg 2. The ideal final Real Madrid vs PSG is still possible to happen if PSG can play more effectively in Leg 2.

Despite playing with 10 against 11, Barcelona defended with good effort, it took a lot of time for PSG make those goals they scored after the red card. I just think that PSG nerve lose a single game to Dortmund from their last 5 games played at home, I'm expecting them to repeat the same performance here as well, because if they can be bold enough to only defeat only a goal when they visited Dortmund, they can shame Dortmund by the time they visit their home.

There has been some news about Mpape one house of an ex footballer in Spain, that means his move to Real Madrid is still certain but before then, I want to see how the reactions is going to look like by the time he win the Champions League. I want to see the reaction on the faces of Madrid when the player they desire so much take a league title before them.

Dortmund is a team that is outstanding no matter if they are in the midst of teams that has had strong reputation in the UCL. I trusted them last match to win at their home and i am still trusting them to win away against PSG. Although many persons said it was through luck they had scored that one goal, and that PSG had more possession in the game but i always tell them it's not all about who plays with the ball more often or who have the highest passes and attempts in the game but who won at the end.

Next week is at the corner and i can't wait to look at the faces of PSG fans. Definitely PSG played well during the quarter finals, but they have less put less effort in the semifinals that is why i prefer Dortmund to win.

Currently, situation is very interesting because we are having all four teams into event with all possibilities are also on cards even now things are in Real Madrid and PSG favor but as we are having history and results of the matches in last few seasons we can expect both German clubs can go through for the final.
But its funny game with Mbappé is also playing his last season at the PSG, and we are having Real Madrid at his best, so all will be done their best to have spot into final Luis Enrique is having first season at the PSG which is also dream start of his career here so if he wins this could be historic moment for the both parties, but we are having few days so wait and watch is also good option right now.

PSG can still hope for a lot in the second leg of the semifinals at home, of course that's because they only need to overcome a 0-1 deficit as a temporary aggregate. The problem that needs to be avoided is, they must avoid conceding additional goals from Dortmund in the second leg. If PSG concedes another goal in the second leg, then they will have to try to score 2 goals to force Dortmund into extra time, but PSG is believed to be able to complete its mission this season to qualify for the final.

I admit that PSG is not the favorite team that is expected to qualify for the final since this season started, but in the end they can open many eyes to accept the fact that PSG has the possibility of getting it. If they qualify for the final, then Luis Enrique has really made a big impact on the team even though he couldn't win the title.

The final between two German teams was indeed very interesting and this could happen again, like a few years ago where Bayern Munich played Dortmund and at that time Bayern Munich was the champion. But it won't be easy considering that Bayern Munich still has a very tough match to play at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's headquarters, and I think there is no chance for Bayern Munich to advance to the final.

On the other hand, if it is Dortmund, it is possible that they will still be able to get to the final and beat PSG in the second leg, especially since they are in a positive trend after winning in the first leg and I am sure that PSG is currently under serious pressure and it will not be easy to recover quickly.

Not only I believe that Real will play in the finals and they will beat Bayern, but I also believe that PSG will beat Dortmund as well. The possibility of a Real Madrid versus PSG game is a lot higher than a Bayern versus Dortmund finals if you ask me. I know that Dortmund managed to win, and that's why many thinks that there is a possibility that PSG will be gone this leg, but I think they have what it takes to win and they are going to play a lot better on the second game.

This must mean that they are going to either win by two goals at least, or they will just score one goal difference, and then the game will go to extra time, which I think PSG will still be able to do better because they have a younger squad who can play for longer.

A lot of people want to see a German final this season... Bayern vs Dortmund would be a really exciting event... But I think Real will definitely play in the final... I don't know how PSG will play the home game and whether they can score two goals without conceding, but I'm sure Madrid will show who's boss at home...

I think both teams played really well in the last meeting, PSG had bad luck in that game, three of their goals were denied by the woodwork, least they would've led by two goals advantage, but the reality remains that Dortmund has the goal advantage. They did well to repel the PSG team so strongly that their only attempts were from a distance. Definitely, PSG players needs to be more crafty if they  want to get any positive result from the encounter.

Mbappe was imprisoned in the last match, and I expect a repeat and even more from the return leg. PSG should naturally be more comfortable as they play from home, Dembele should increase his accuracy and stop gambling with rare chances like he did in last games.

At the moment, bookmakers quote the teams' chances of reaching the final as follows:

PSG - 1.74
Dortmund - 2.10

As you can see, PSG's chances are higher (and significantly) despite the fact that Dortmund has a one-goal advantage.
I also assume that PSG will be able to surpass Dortmund in the end, but +74% in this case does not seem to be adequate compensation for the risk. In the end, a draw is enough for Dortmund to reach the final.

Honestly, PSG's performance was not that bad in the first leg. The club has been showing very consistent performance by gradually attacked dortmund through various angle. PSG was only unlucky enough in the previous game. I strongly believe people who watched it was also thinking the same. Imagine if mbappe's shoot was not hitting the bar.
It would be helping PSG to get draw against dortmund. It's only matter of time for PSG to do revenge in the second leg. PSg may be using everything owned by the club in order to win against dortmund soon. I do really appreciate how PSG was performing even better.
The second leg is gonna be a very harsh game for PSG for sure. I strongly believe in it.

Well talking about favorites for the UCL finals, before the first leg of the semifinals alot of us saw PSG and Real Madrid being the major favorites for the finals but I think after the first leg match, the whole narrative is beginning to change. This is what football is all about as it’s very unpredictable till after the final whistle.

 ⁠Real Madrid started quite on a good note in the semifinals agu and Bayern Munich though they looked like the underdogs as Bayern were able to exploit on their weaknesses. In all Real Madrid were able to at least get a draw while they head to the Bernabeu for the return leg and this puts them in a comfortable position to qualify.
 
 ⁠As For Psg they’re a goal down already as you can see how they totally lost the midfield battle in the first leg aganist Dortmund and you’ll just imagine how much of energy they will have to put into the second leg. Well they’ll be playimg infront of their home fans so all hope isn’t lost yet as they can still be able to turn things around.

 Well football is really unpredictable but if you check the form of these clubs, you’ll know for sure that the possibility of a ReAl Madrd and psg final is pretty quite possible and has more chance of becoming a reality. I think these clubs in the final will even help UEFA to sell out more than any other final.
