For me, looking at these four teams, there is still a chance to advance to the UCL League final this season. So it is not yet certain which team will qualify for the final round. As a Real Madrid fan, I am also not sure that Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich. But to be honest, Real Madrid is the team that has the strongest mentality, maybe other European giant teams, if they are hit by a comeback from their opponent, they will definitely fall, but this does not apply to Real Madrid.

Likewise with Dortmund, even though they have a one goal aggregate lead, this is not safe enough for them because as you said, PSG's game is actually quite good, it's just that they were unlucky so they couldn't take advantage of many opportunities to score goals in the first leg. Of course Enrique will improve in the second leg so he can take advantage of opportunities as effectively as possible to score quick goals.

My dream final is Real Mandrid vs PSG, but a final between Bayern Munich vs Dortmund could also happen. If this happens it reminds me of the 2013 UCL final and maybe it will happen again, maybe this time Dortmund will win the UCL. The point is, anything can happen in football, nothing is impossible.

Yes there is hope, there is still 90mins, PSG were just so unlucky yesterday not to get at least an equaliser as, they hit the cross bar of several occasions, but I think next week's game at Parc de princess will be a very tight one, as we will see the best of attacking football from both sides, Dortmund is not a team that will go all defensive after winning the first leg,  it doesn't matter when they score or not, the game is very much open, PSG can score in the dying stages and force the game to extra time.

Well if you feel Dortmund were lucky then it's probably now left for us to see what the second leg unfolds between the two teams. The champions league is filled with so many wonders and Dortmund scaling through to the possible finals is also going to be a big suprised because no one would have expected them to do so in even a glance at the whole suprises.

The narrow victory obtained over Dortmund in the first leg will indeed be an important asset for Terzic's team in the second leg. Because of course in this second leg Dortmund will visit PSG headquarters and of course they will receive a lot of mental pressure from PSG's fanatical supporters. So with a one goal advantage, I think the Dortmund players will be a little calmer when they visit PSG headquarters. Apart from that, Dortmund's performance in the first leg was quite good, especially in the first half. However, in the second half I saw the PSG players dominate more. Maybe Enrique had read the Dortmund players' playing style in the first half, so that in the second half Enrique could handle it well.

But even so, the PSG players were unable to score goals. In fact, if we talk about opportunities, in the second half PSG created many opportunities which almost resulted in goals. Mbappe even almost scored the equalizer. But unfortunately his shot hit the side of the goal post. Maybe if only the PSG players could be calmer when they were in Dortmund's goal mouth, I'm sure several goals could have been scored. However, it cannot be denied that Dortmund has very solid defenders in its defense line. So it is always successful in making it difficult for PSG players to maximize their opportunities.

And in preparation for the second leg, I think Enrique must already know his team's weak side. In fact, in the second half of yesterday's first leg, Enrique was actually able to overcome this weakness. The proof is that in the second half PSG dominated more and were able to create many opportunities. Maybe in the second leg, Enrique just needs to make the PSG players take full advantage of the opportunities available. And if Enrique can overcome this, I'm sure PSG can turn things around.

That's true, even though PSG lost in the first leg, there is still a chance for them to win in the second leg. In my opinion, in yesterday's match, PSG lost because Dortmund were very lucky, because some of PSG's kicks were good. hit Dortmund's goal post and I thought it was Dortmund's lucky day. In the second half, PSG applied more pressure, but Dortmund was still saved by their luck.

I think with their match later in the second leg PSG can be more confident even though they lost in the first leg. because as you said having a 12th player can make them more enthusiastic of course. Apart from that, I thought from the start that Dortmund would make things difficult for PSG, and it turned out to be true. With that narrow score, I think PSG can catch it later in the second leg.

PSG still has hope because there is just one goal difference, and Dortmund will play at home, which will be difficult if PSG does not win. Dortmund's performance yesterday was very impressive; they can try to defend games in the second leg and prevent goals from being scored, but PSG will be very prepared for the second leg; they will not want to make any mistakes that will allow Dortmund to score at home, but PSG must be very careful with Dortmund now because they have an advantage; they can do their best and try to draw with PSG in Paris. Since they won the league, they won't try to focus on it any more. the coach will be planning how to revenge the goal back in the second leg. They should try and pressing Dortmund from the first half and score goal before the first half end, Because if PSG does not score in the first half, he will undoubtedly score in the second half. Let us see who will advance to the final and meet Madrid or Munich this season.

To be honest I don't see Dortmund having a chance of going to the final because winning by one goal is really not safe, we know PSG can play aggressively when playing at home like when they played in the group stage and beat Barcelona. I can say that PSG has an 80% chance of advancing to the final and waiting for the winner between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, I'm not underestimating Dortmund but they don't have a great record when away .

The only way for Dortmund to beat PSG is to draw in the second leg it's just that it's not easy I mean they need a miracle, apart from that, PSG has Kylian Mbappe who actively scores goals while playing at home and currently he has scored 8 goals as well as being one of the main candidates to win the golden boot.

The match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich was always interesting for everyone to watch because Bayern Munich was always the best team in this country and Real Madrid was usually the first hope for the Champions League which can give us the chance to watch an interesting match between these two teams.
Bayern Munich was not in the good situation since they were about to stop working with their coach Tuchel and some players in this team don't have a good relationship with Tuchel. But Real Madrid got a better station.
However, maybe since Bayern Munich was playing at home they had the advantage of playing at home otherwise Real Madrid could beat Bayern Munich in this match.

Real Madrid and PSG can basically be expected to qualify for the final this season regardless of how you analyze it. I think the chances of both are equally high considering that both teams will play at home for the second leg. Home games are the most profitable to hope for better performances for more favorable results, but this all depends on how Bayern Munich and Dortmund respond to the game.

I don't want to see two teams from the same domestic league competing in the Champions League final this season. That is, I don't expect Dortmund and Bayern Munich to both qualify for the final, that's not the final I want. I think it's appropriate for PSG and Real Madrid to be in the final this season after they managed to dominate their respective domestic leagues, but this is not a reason why they should be in the final. There needs to be higher fighting power to win the final this season, of course because these 4 teams both have a chance to qualify for the final.

There are several conditions that might become troublesome for Dortmund in the second leg, although for now the aggregate is still in their favor with 1 goal obtained at Signal Iduna Park yesterday.

PSG has quite good attacking power and we can see that in yesterday's match there were several opportunities, including from Mbappe and Hakimi, both of whom hit the crossbar, which of course means that Dortmund has to tighten up its defensive area if they want a good result for the second leg.

Currently, they have a very good fighting spirit because this is the first time I have seen Dortmund make it to the final in this modern era, which of course could be a good thing if Dortmund can make it happen. The problem is that this will not be easy because PSG will also try as hard as they can to change the results and aggregate because this is also momentum for them so they can continue to be seen as a big club.

Luck still exist in football so I will not rule out PSG from this competition just yet. One goal loss is something they can easily cancel and go ahead to qualify. However, I did not see Borussia Dortmund relenting especially now that they are at advantage. The played so well in the first leg especially when they entered the second half after taking the lead from first half. What is unique as I have noticed is that both teams are playing similar pattern of football with Borussia Dortmund showing more of team work. PSG is really in a very delicate situation now and it can only take luck to change the situation in their favor.

Fresh air is now on Borussia Dortmund's side after they managed to win the match in the first leg. The reason is that before this first leg took place, many people made Paris Saint Germain the main favorite to beat and eliminate Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals of this season's Champions League. However, the results of the match in the first leg turned things around in favor of Borussia Dortmund.

However, they have to be careful in the second leg, because Paris Saint Germain also lost first in the quarter-finals before they were finally able to destroy Barcelona 4-1 in the second leg. Even though Borussia Dortmund also recorded a comeback in the quarter-finals, it is still because in the second leg Paris Saint Germain will be the host. It is not easy to predict matches in the Champions League, especially since this is the semifinals where the 4 clubs here are the best clubs who can eliminate their opponents from the start of the group.

Actually, PSG performance not really bad just unlucky after twice great attempt from Kylian Mbappe and Fabián Ruiz hit by the crossbar. Its not over for PSG because has second leg match and the same position in quarter final after defeating by Barcelona on first leg success come back and won over 4-1. Dortmund have secure well first leg match with winning one goal and good capital for facing second leg match, just learned from Barcelona mistake after their players receiving red card and Dortmund must controlling well players emotion and don't make fatal fault give advantage for SPG.

Its make all prediction wrong if PSG fail reach to final round of UEFA Champion League, unbelievable with Dortmund success defeating PSG and helped the Bundesliga teams get 5 ticket for participating in UCL next season.

Nice bet! 2.85 was good compensation for the risk, but I can’t say it was very good - in fact, Dortmund was lucky in many moments. Although if Dortmund had converted all their chances, the score could have been 2-0 or even 3-0, but I would say that a draw would have been a more reasonable outcome of this game.
It will be very difficult to repeat this success or at least hold a draw in Paris; bookmakers see the return game as follows:

1.52 - 4.10 - 6.8

Quite a serious imbalance in quotes. I wonder if a bet on Dortmund with odds of 6.8 is worth the risk? It seems like yes, but 8-10 would be more interesting.

I didn't watch PSG's match against Barcelona in the first leg, but in the match against Dortmund, it was clear that several PSG players panicked easily and lost concentration. especially, for midfielders. In last night's match, Terzic succeeded in bringing his team ahead in the first leg even with a small aggregate. but at least, they have more chances after overthrowing PSG at Signal Iduna Park. Regarding the results of this match, it is clear that my predictions were wrong. but I also said that Terzic could bring his team ahead in the first half. they have the opportunity to make PSG players lose concentration, because the feeling of wanting to equalize will make them a little more stressed.

In the second leg, Luis Enrique will use all his energy so that his squad is able to overthrow Dortmund with an aggregate margin of more than 2 points. PSG's chances are quite big, playing in front of their own supporters will have a big impact on their motivation. Also, it seems like the betting odds have a noticeable difference than in the first leg. for the time being, the bookie further favors Paris Saint-Germain with odds @1.54. so, Terzich has to be more alert in the second leg.

I think Dortmund is completely different from Barcelona, so it looks like PSG won't have the same luck when PSG managed to turn things around in the second leg of the quarter-final against Barcelona. Because in reality PSG doesn't always have it easy when PSG meet Dortmund in the Champions League and because of that, PSG will be under greater pressure against Dortmund in the second leg later. Even though indeed, PSG will also be playing at home in the second leg, but it seems that PSG won't be as lucky as when playing against Barcelona because I think Dortmund can play with a better defensive line. But yes, maybe any result can still happen, but at least I have got an advantage in their first leg because I chose Dortmund.

PSG may not be lucky as they were in the match they played against Barcelona where they were defeated by Barcelona in their home ground and they went to Camp Nou and won Barcelona which made them qualify for this champions league semi finals they are playing against Borussia Dortmund now. Apart from the fact that PSG has better squad than Borussia Dortmund, I see Borussia Dortmund having some young talented players that can challenge PSG in the returning match and Dortmund will also try their best if they can reach the finals of the champions league even if they don't win it.

Let's not forget that PSG has a very porous defense in the sense that in most of their matches they always concede goals too easily which is very bad because if defenders ain't able to protect their defense and give their opponent opportunity to score that means they can lose any match at all.

If Juventus must win then at first they need to solidify their defense, they already got good strikers that can score for them so if they protect their defense very well their opponent will find it difficult to score then their strikers can do the finishing by scoring and they can actually win.

Let us not underrate the ability of Borussia Dortmund to eliminate PSG in this stage of the champions league because anything can happen even merely watching how Borussia Dortmund were able to eliminate Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals is to tell us how strong the team is now. In the champions league, home advantage doesn't matter as teams are even humiliated in their home ground.

Maybe some or many of us are favorites with PSG even in the first leg yesterday. But the result turned out to be Dortmund who won. But somehow this result doesn't surprise me either. Because the possibility of Dortmund winning when hosting is also a very natural thing. Because playing as the host always makes a team play with more confidence. And that's what happened to Dortmund. And in the second leg maybe the opposite could happen. That is, it is possible that Dortmund will not play as well as in the first leg. But Dortmund is not a weak team. That's why, even in the second leg, I'm sure Dortmund will continue to use the same aggressive playing pattern. Because they know that if they only defend it will only give the opponent more opportunities to attack.

I think it will be a problem because the first match is very important to try everything in the second leg, maybe Dortmund will improve its defense again, because by holding a draw Dortmund can already qualify for the champions league final this season, and that's what is feared of course, we know that Dortmund has a pretty good defense so far against PSG, so I think that's a pretty big problem, don't let this second leg match be a draw for PSG, if that happens they will lose the champions league this season.

Basically it should be able to avenge this second leg, but see later who will conquer it in the second leg to determine who will qualify for the next round.
BTW Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are in a pretty tense situation, Kane seems to see little future if it comes to the final.

I don't know why many people thought Dortmund team are not strong team in this UEFA champion league competition, and they have seen positive results from Dortmund in the quarter-final to delete their opponent to qualified for semi-final, and they have beaten PSG in the first leg.

It was not a surprised to me, for the victory they got from mighty PSG which is the best way a strong team will prove themselves by not allowing their opponent to secure a single goal in their home, which is what Dortmund did to PSG to secured goal to beat them 1:0 for the favor of Dortmund.

Since Dortmund have used this first leg well to beat PSG 1:0 in their home, I guess they will use that advantage in the second leg to draw the game with PSG to qualify for final
