Of course PSG's chance of being able to turn things around is still very big in the second leg because they will play at their own pace and we can see the strength of both teams in the first leg that PSG's quality is very good, it's just that they are a little unlucky because they created so many opportunities failed to convert into a goal.
I think Luis Enrique knows what to do in the second leg and it must be admitted that PSG's performance was better in the Champions League match compared to their domestic league match.
Dortmund also cannot be underestimated, in the second leg PSG will be slightly favored to be able to turn things around, but overall I am sure the match will be quite fierce.

PSG still has plenty of potential, we certainly haven't forgotten about the quarter-final first leg match against Barcelona. PSG were defeated in the first leg of the quarter-final against Barcelona, but in the second leg they secured the semi-finals by beating Barcelona by a large margin at their home ground. PSG lost their semi-final first leg match against Dortmund but it's definitely a good thing for PSG that they didn't lose by multiple goals. Winning by two goals at their home ground is not difficult for PSG if they play at their best. Manager Luis Enrique is certainly planning with every player in the team as well as providing opportunities for qualified players in every position. PSG should only play the normal game well, if they play the normal game correctly, the final will be guaranteed for PSG.

Dortmund has been successfully defending from PSG's attacks but it's all caused by dortmund was lucky enough. I meant the fact that if dortmund could have lost the first leg if mbappe's shoot was going through the goal keeper and it was hitting the back of the net.

PSG has been trying so hard but it was always hitting the ball. Even when it was hitting the bar and it was getting deflected to be away and back to the penalty box. I think the second leg will be very different. dortmund must be fully prepared to face intensive attacks from PSG since the first half.

I am also quite interested in the cross-league final scheme where Madrid as representatives of La Liga play against representatives from Ligue 1, namely PSG. Because if the first scheme is Bayern Munich vs Dortmund, of course we have often seen it in the Bundesliga and we are not too impressed with the results. But because this is the UCL anything can happen, in terms of probability I am still optimistic that Madrid playing at home will really dominate, Tuchel troops at home seem to be controlling the game but at some moments Madrid can still get out of the pressure. A draw in Leg 1 was a loss for Bayern Munich because that match was the only way to take a position at home.
What about PSG vs Dortmund which is now 0-1 on aggregate? So PSG ideally can still catch up if it's 1 goal + playing at home. Enrique also learned a lot from the previous defeat against Barcelona. Guests should not be underestimated because Dortmund has players with a high mentality to do everything they can to increase their advantage.

That's right, maybe the second leg will determine which team can win. Even though PSG lost in the first leg, of course Dortmund cannot feel safe, because there is still a second leg where PSG might be able to turn things around, like PSG's match with Barcelona. Even though I know that all teams certainly have their own performance, there is nothing that can rule out the possibility that PSG can turn things around.

If I had to choose between these two teams, I would choose PSG because I've always had a cloud over PSG but I'm not a big fan and it's just an option to choose. but in different leagues of course I have my own team choices, I just choose and follow the excitement of each match that takes place.

Now everyone will be more focused on the second leg to see which team will qualify for the final round, because Dortmund also cannot be satisfied with their one-goal win in the first leg. This is because PSG, who will play at home in the second leg, will definitely try not to lose to Dortmund, so the Dortmund team itself must also try to be better because getting to the final always requires a very hard fight. Especially for teams that will play away like Dortmund, where Dortmund cannot make any mistakes in the second leg match.

I don't see that there will be an ideal final this season, because in my opinion it would be an ideal final when Real Madrid met Manchester City in the final, but instead they had to meet in the quarter-finals. With no intention of underestimating other teams, this season Real Madrid looks very ready, even though in this semifinal their job is not finished because they still drew in the first leg.
The results of Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint Germain in the first leg are actually enough to make the competition more interesting. The reason is that Paris Saint Germain is 1-0 behind on aggregate, it will make it more difficult for them to be in the final. Moreover, if we look at the game between these two teams, in fact they are not much different or in other words their strengths are almost the same.

Dortmund vs Madrid will probably be a possible final although it is more ideal if we might see PSG and Madrid in the final later, Dortmund are in better shape after they won 1-0 in the first leg, although it is not safe enough to be sure of qualifying for the final but I think they have a bigger advantage than PSG despite playing at home,  So far PSG game has been quite impressive but it is difficult to say if they will easily turn things around in the second leg, I think will be difficult to beat PSG at home so maybe Dortmund will be defensive game options will be used in the match to secure their victory so far, of course by continuing to launch a counterattack against the PSG defense later.

Madrid drew with Munich of course makes Munich job even harder at the Bernabeu later, of course we all remember what happened to Manchester City in the quarter-finals yesterday, so I think Madrid will definitely repeat what they did to City when they meet Munich later, I think Munich mistake was to let Madrid score at allianz arena in the first leg of the semi-final.

Clowns Indeed 
When you expect a top quality performance, they all go back Into their shells and relax. One to Nil lose to Borrussia Dortmund was not expected. But then, it's not over you see, they have to win with two goals to nothing in the next fixture. I believe in Luis Enrique, he has experience and there is something he can do.

Bayern Munich have only the Champions League Competition as the only one for them to win this season, with the poor performance from the Bundesliga this season, I see they will be giving a 200%. performance against Real Madrid as they travel to Los Blancos ( Santiago Bernabue ) next week.
During the first leg, Real Madrid didn't give me that vibes of being the winners this year, something has got to be missing truly.

Its seems little possibilities behind Dortmund vs Madrid in the UEFA Champion League final match because both team have positive result for first leg match, but Dortmund position lead one goal over PSG not secure yet how PSG trend currently always had impressive performance on second leg match after losing at the first leg. Actually the interested final match of Champion League this season between PSG vs Real Madrid but losing first leg get difficult for PSG make come back and win over two goals.

Real Madrid got not bad capital at the first leg match after getting draw, get benefit on second leg match on their home has more motivate for qualifying to final round and raise to be most winner Champion League trophies up to 15 time. I see Madrid had good perform when playing home and won't loss opportunity after eliminating Manchester City in quarter final as most favorite team.

This was definitely a surprise for almost all of the people. Everyone expected PSG to win this match. But I guess we can say that this was the home ground of Dortmund. that’s why they were able to win this match. But Dortmund did not dominate this match. It was pretty even competition. I think even though Dortmund is going to have an advantage going into the second leg, it is probably not going to be enough for them to go through the final of the Champions League. if for some reason that happens to be true, if PSG is not in the final match of the Champions League, it is definitely going to be hilarious. Because nobody expected anything much from Dortmund to be honest. And now they have already been able to win the first leg.

Imagine how it would be if Dortmund actually won the Champions League! That would be the greatest achievement for them in probably the last decade.

I don't know, wouldn't it be more like watching a Bundesliga game?    The best thing I can say about such finale would be the choreographies and special shows they can prepare. I still remember the ones they did in the finale between these teams in the 2012/2013 season. I must admit Germans are also really good at this.

What I expect is also the same as you depending on Dortmund's playing style in the rematch. But what I want is rather a Real Madrid - Dortmund finale. The previous matchups between them were really great to watch. It would be nice to see them face each other in a finale this time. 

Partially, I would agree with you. In the case of Real Madrid they are still said to be the favourite. It will be on extreme luck if Bayern should beat Madrid at Santiago. I doubt if it is possible, since Bayern failed to lead Madrid in their last match not  essentially with much goals but at least a goal difference as an evidence of them playing at their home.

PSG are already having a hard time beating Dortmund, I still wonder what will be the outcome of the game and I would not as well say PSG performance in their last match was that poor only they were not able or lucky converting their goal scoring attempts. Despite the fact that Dortmund is already leading with a goal difference, I think it is still a 50:50 chances for any of the team qualifying, since PSG will be playing home I believe they will increase their productivity in the coming fixture.

In Dortmund vs PSG team match, PSG team has bad performance in this match. PSG team started bad performance in the game for which Dortmund team scored 1 goal in 36 minutes. Dortmund team did not score after Hafaim. PSG team tried hard to score in this match.  Couldn't score any goals. If PSG team scored 1 goal, the match would have been a draw, but PSG team's players performed poorly in this match.

I still don't think Real Madrid and PSG are the favorites after the first matches of the semi-finals. They were seen as favorites before the matches, but after the matches we saw that Bayern and Dortmund still had strong odds, and Dortmund even had the advantageous score in the first match. It is difficult to predict what the name of the final will be, but all 4 teams can be finalists and they are strong enough to beat each other.

from the aggregate scores of the 4 teams in the semi finals and looking at the current match schedule, I predict that Real Madrid and PSG will qualify for the next round or will compete in the final round later.
now let's see how Madrid competes at home in Munich without having difficulty in holding the match to a draw and in the second leg Madrid will be fiercer and more aggressive to be able to beat Munich without giving them a chance to score.
and on the one hand, we can compare how Munich journey from the group stage to the semi finals, when they played away from home, always performed less than optimally, even though they had great players like Kane, but it didn't provide any guarantees.

and for PSG who will compete against Dortmund, everyone already knows the answer to who will qualify for the next round and still PSG will qualify for the final round when they have to end the second leg by beating Dortmund.
there is no need to doubt how PSG attack which provides resistance when playing away is one of the reinforcements for our predictions and that means PSG will be more confident in qualifying for the final round against Madrid.
but if a surprise happens and Dortmund will qualify for the final round, without hesitation I will say congratulations to Real Madrid who will win the UCL title.

Borussia Dortmund produced one of their best performances this season in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final encounter with Paris Saint Germaine to get a 1:0 win against the French champions and take a lead going in to the second leg that'll be played next but because the second leg of that game will be played at the home of Paris Saint Germaine, that lead isn't a strong one if you ask me. Before the first leg of the first leg of the two ties in the semi final of the competition were played, my prediction was that Real Madrid ahd and Paris Saint Germaine are the two clubs that are gonna reach the final of the competition and even till this very moment, I still have same conviction that the two clubs will progress ahead of their opponents.
Paris Saint Germaine manager Luis Enrique having won the competition before now understands everything about the UEFA Champions League so I expect him to come up with a formation that'll guarantee them a win against the German club when they host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night

Edin Terzic has been an important coach with remarkable performance this year. Even though they could not deliver what was desired in the league, what they did in the UCL is not easy. They took the lead in the group stage. They passed the qualifications and won 1-0 in the first match of the semi-finals. Even if they lose in the rematch, Edin Terzic and Dortmund should be applauded. When the season started, they didn't even think they would make it out of the UCL group. They came here and misled everyone.

Indeed, at the moment one goal is not a very comfortable advantage for Dortmund but it is still much better than Dortmund having no advantage at all, right so we cannot underestimate Dortmund in the second leg because regardless of how big or small the advantage they have on aggregate is still the case. they have an advantage that is the most important in this case. The current situation, the second leg is played at PSG and we see their performance is still extraordinary, it is indeed dangerous but now Dortmund just need to hold them back so they don't score more goals than PSG and that is not an impossible thing to happen especially in the semi-finals now with the strength of the two clubs being almost the same, of course both still have the same momentum, even with the aggregate advantage now, Dortmund is certainly more confident.

at some point, it's not always about individual players and their personalities. No doubt, real Madrid is the favorite of all the four teams that are still in the tournament but let's give Bayern thier accolades cause they've equally played so well in Thier first leg against real Madrid. For Dortmund and PSG, I can't say the same thing because I feel they weren't being clinical with thier play and had several moment when made so many mistakes and that made the match a bit interesting. Mbape tried but wasn't able to play what was expected of him and of course he can't do it all by himself. It would have been an interesting finals to watch if the likes of messi and naymer jnr where still in the PSG team and maybe i would  have anticipated a great finals between PSG and real Madrid but as it stands now, the two teams that will make a great finals would be bayern munich and real madrid but truth is that that wouldn't happen and and we might unfortunately have Bayern playing against PSG in the finals.
