I have been watching this match and i think PSG a bit unlucky because they have 2 times shots attempts which hit the crossbar and some of their players also has failed the opportunities to scores besides that during the match Dortmund players were very discipline to guarded their defense so although PSG was dominate the match but they didn't gets much opportunities to scores and i have seen Dortmund has successfully to lock the movement Mbappe and this situations is make PSG having trouble to broke the defense of Dortmund besides that i think during the match the referee was made some of controversial decision

Indeed in the front of their fans Dortmund performance was very fantastic because surprisingly they can beat PSG with narrow score and Niclas Füllkrug should being an man of the match because he was clever and escape from offside trap and scored the only goal in this match but after this winning i think Dortmund position still not fully safe because second leg will be played at PSG home ground and there is a chance for PSG to reversing the situations so if want to advances to the final match i think Dortmund should be more hard struggling because i am sure PSG won't let it happend and PSG will go all in later

PSG had a bad luck, they played really well, better than Dortmund even though PSG play in away.

It's quite unfortunate, but I believe PSG will win the match at all cost, just look at the bookies, they're heavy favorite in the second leg.

But, it's really interesting that Sancho becomes man of the match lol instead of Kobel, Fullkrug or Schlotterbeck. Manchester United really wasted Sancho since he can perform in Dortmund.

What a nice streak! Borussia Dortmund hasn't lost in their last 11 home games in the Champions League. They're almost through to the final now. They just need to focus on their defense and secure a draw in the second leg. Dortmund is looking strong, but the second leg won't be easy with just a 1-0 aggregate lead from my perspective.

I'm not satisfied with his performance today. however, there's still a chance for him to beat Borussia Dortmund with a 3-1 score in the second leg. Mbappe needs to step up in the second leg at Parc des Princes. I believe in him. Remember when they played Barcelona in the first leg? He didn't do much, but in the second leg, he scored two goals. I think PSG will come out on top in the second leg.

damn!! Mbappe and Dembele wasted a very good opportunity in yesterday's match.
I don't think PSG performance was bad but Mbappe shot the ball twice which was not on target and what was worse was when in the 50+ minute Mbappe had a good chance but unfortunately the ball hit the crossbar and failed to score but after that the ball went towards Dembele and Dortmund shot it but also failed because it hit the crossbar.
I admit that even though PSG played away, they still performed very well and were able to provide strong resistance even though Dortmund often pressed towards PSG goal, but PSG attack line was able to provide quite good resistance.
It's just that I was disappointed when Mbappe kick didn't hit the target while his shot was right at the corner of the crossbar which is almost 99% of the score but failed and my bet loss.

Perhaps we all underestimated Dortmund. Yet, these guys have been doing wonders in the UCL right from the semi - finals when they were two goals down they equalized and won the match by leading with another two goals. Many would say Dortmund has won in their home and that it is a home advantage, but am here to change that mindset. Because even if Dortmund plays at PSG home next match i believe that they will win the match or if it comes to worst they will end the game as a draw so that they can qualify to the final.

Truly football is not about having the most possession in the game, its about who won at last because the winning streak is the most important there. Having to play with the ball through out the entire match and not getting to score even a goal that is what PSG faced yesterday.

Being left behind by 1 goal in the first leg is not a difficult thing to catch up for PSG, especially in the second leg, they will be playing at their own home and indeed if we look at the quality of play between the two teams there is no big difference, even PSG played well in the first leg, but Unfortunately they were unlucky so no goals could be scored.

Kylian Mbappe is the player most expected on the front line, but Kylian Mbappe's movements are always closed and closely guarded, making it difficult for him to find empty space to create opportunities.
For the second leg, I think anything is still possible and PSG still has a big chance of turning things around.

one beauty about playing as an home team is that with the support of your large fans and because you don't want to let them down, it gives this extra energy to put in the fight and every cheer is a damn encouragement that pushes you to go the extra miles. Dortmund made great use of this and outplayed PSG throughout the first half. Hakini wasn't able to subdue the young Dortmund left back and dembele wasn't doing well with his passes and it made it all deficult for mbape to have a comfortable opportunity at the attack. The good thing is that it's just a difference of one goal and going into the PSG home, if they will be able to cease the opportunity effectively and score two goals ahead of the Dortmund team, maybe PSG can think of securing a spot in the champions league finals but as it stands now, Dortmund is the only team that's at an advantage above the other three teams in the semi finals and if I'm asked to give my honest take on what the finals might look like based on what played out in the first leg, we might have a dramatic turn of event where Dortmund might end up facing Bayern munich in the finals cause from intensity point of view, both Dortmund and Bayern munich played far better than PSG and real Madrid.

Dortmund's advantage is not so much and in the second leg things can quickly turn around for them in front of the French crowd. Kylian Mbappe is a big-time player, who has a record of not ghosting in very important games like he did in the World Cup finals. In the second leg if Mbappe is in the mood, he can cause a lot of problems for the Dortmund defenders because in that game he will be more aware of the defender who he will be going against and will prepare enough to go pass him.

Yes that's true. We can also watch the Borussia Dortmund - Bayern Munich final. The German final will cause spectacular visual feasts because the cup will go to Germany in any case. Even though Borussia Dortmund is criticized a lot in the league, they are playing great in the UCL. They managed to beat Paris in the first match, now it will all be up to the rematch. The winner of Bayern-Real will most likely win the cup in the final.

This record and performance of Dortmund defense system in the match is biggest fear of PSG before the second semi final. Dortmund don't need too much in the second semi final and they only need a draw so a strong defense system is a good foundation for Dortmund to achieve that target.

Mbappe is important for PSG attacking system and if he plays bad in the second match, chance for PSG to equalize an aggregated result will be very small. PSG created some opportunities and came very nearly to an equalizer in the first semi final but chances are useless if they won't be converted to goals.

In the second match, what PSG need is goal, at least one goal, not many opportunities to be wasted all.

For me, Dortmund's chances of qualifying for the final round which requires a draw in the 2nd leg are still big because they can still focus on defending and taking advantage of the slightest opportunity to score a goal. Although it is still not convincing because PSG can still do more than score when playing at the Parc des Princes, Paris with Mbappe's level of speed which is supported by the services of his other colleagues.

Real Madrid has a greater chance of qualifying against Bayern. Maybe we can analyze how Real Madrid will play at home referring to the 1st leg statistics.

I think it can be analyzed from now on for the two semifinal matches after we have seen how the four teams play, making it easier for us to place bets.

Dortmund became the dark horse team in the UCL semifinals after beating PSG 1-0 in the first leg of the semi-final at Signal Iduna Park, this victory meant that Dortmund had one foot in the final. Dortmund, which was considered the underdog team, actually managed to reduce all of that with a narrow victory over PSG. The resistance given by Dortmund made PSG players helpless and unable to dismantle the tight defense built by Dortmund defenders.

Apart from winning, Dortmund managed to keep a fifth clean sheet in the Champions League this season, this achievement is more than any other team. Dortmund record for most clean sheets is an asset for them when they face PSG in the second leg. Dortmund must remain focused on their defense and keep players like Kylian Mbappe from threatening their goal.

Scoring two goals in the second leg was certainly a tough task for PSG because Dortmund managed to keep clean sheets in several matches, Dortmund's tight defense meant that PSG had to work hard to catch up in the first leg. PSG will play under pressure because they have to win by a two-goal margin to qualify for the final, while Dortmund only needs a draw.

The Borussia Dortmund vs PSG match took place at each other. Chance after chance was taken by both teams. However, the defense lines of both teams were also quite stable so that the attacks carried out by both teams could be suppressed, the result was that only one goal was scored in this match. Dortmund won 1-0 over PSG. In this match PSG performed better in the second half. Twice their shots hit the woodwork in the minute, they also missed several chances. Despite creating more chances, PSG lost without scoring for the first time in all competitions this season.
 
Borussia Dortmund leads 1-0. But they have to work hard to maintain their lead because the second leg will be held in Paris. Paris Saint-Germain will make the difference as they try to overturn the deficit against Borussia Dortmund in the second leg.

Previously, Dortmund and PSG had two matches in this season with one win for Dortmund and another match is a draw for both. If it repeats in semi final, a next match will be a draw for both and Dortmund will have their final match in Champions League.

In the match hours ago, Dortmund played better in the first half and PSG created more chances in the second half. The result is a win for Dortmund because PSG did not convert their opportunity to a goal. This makes a second match is easier for Dortmund and harder for PSG. With Sancho, Dortmund will bring many dangerous counter attacks in the second semi final match if PSG focus too much on attacking.

Years ago, they met each other in Champions League final match and Bayern Munich beat Dortmund to lift the trophy. Will they create another German match in Champions League final?

Both clubs have big tasks in their second semi final matches to make that dream comes true.

It's true that anything can still happen on the field, PSG might be lucky to reach the semifinals because they took advantage of opportunities when Barcelona made mistakes, but they weren't so lucky when they faced Dortmund. This club is also an elite club and cannot be underestimated even though PSG previously looked confident in reaching the final. but in reality it can still change, it is the club that is not at the top which will surprise everyone by performing well so don't be too confident in the initial predictions because anything in football can change according to the mentality of the players and the performance of the club, Dortmund has a good mentality at home even though they don't have good players like PSG but the teamwork of the players should be an example for other clubs.

However, with an aggregate of 1:0, it is not a reason for PSG to give up, maybe now PSG is beaten by Dortmund, but who knows, at home, PSG can play better and have the opportunity to score more than 2 goals, I'm not sure either, but usually PSG can rely on the opportunity to play as the host club, we'll see in the second leg whether PSG can avenge the previous defeat and counterattack. Is what people say about PSG true? They can reach the final and become champions this season.

And how sure are you that if Dortmund wins their next match, they will be playing against Real Madrid? Real Madrid played draw in the first leg of their match which was against Bayern Munich, nobody is sure yet that Real Madrid will be winning Bayern Munich in the second leg of the match, even if Real Madrid has higher chances of winning the second leg since they will be playing at home, but we just can’t conclude yet that they will be winning, we should wait for the match to be played first before we know who will be winning.

PSG lost the Champions League semi-final 1st leg with Dortmund 0-1. At Dortmund's home ground they attacked well enough to beat the opposition and they are one goal ahead and will surely do well in the 2nd leg to reach the final. Although we have seen two teams reach the semi-finals in the Champions League this season, Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the German League, any team in the German League will definitely try their hardest to qualify for the final match. There is still a good chance that the two German League teams will enter the final, in which case the next matches will be even more interesting. Anyway, as of now Dortmund showed their best performance in last night's match and they were the most excited to get the win. Since the next match will be held at PSG's home ground, they will be excited and will try to attack the most in order to reach the final. And this match was much more exciting but although PSG had a lot of possession but their attack line was also good but they could not stop the ball in the opponent's goal bye they lost.

And in reality it ended in 2 - 2 draw and in this first leg match Real Madrid managed to get penalty which gave them the second goal to equalize, Vinicius Junior was the player who saved Real Madrid from defeat.
But it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich if they have to beat Real Madrid even if it is an in cages, Real Madrid is strong team and Ancelotti has lot of experience to bring the Los Blancos squad to success.
With this draw, it will make it easier for Real Madrid to gain an advantage in the second leg match and of course, with home match, Real Madrid can be superior in any situation.

Now that what very interesting, Kane has always been the dominant player for Bayern Munich and they use Kane like spear to break the opponent defense, but I believe that Real Madrid defense in the second leg will be much better.
It just that focusing on pressing Kane is also not good thing because there are other players such as Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane, these two players will be quite dangerous if they get or opportunity to attack.
However, I still believe Ancelotti can use good playing strategy and he will use his best players for the second leg match.

Clearly, Real has a chance to reach the finals this season as they possess a superior attack compared to Bayern. The situation in the first leg clearly showed this, Real was sharper than Bayern in organizing attacks with the duo Vinicius and Rodrygo. If it weren't for the brilliance of young player Musiala - who won a penalty for Bayern, Bayern might have lost at home. Kane was isolated on the attack and had to often retreat to his own half to look for the ball, so Bayern's attacks did not carry many elements of surprise.

Real's biggest bright spot in the first leg was Vinicius as he was in extremely high form, scoring 2 goals for Real. It's not too much to say that this first leg was Vinicius' show, making up for Bellingham's lackluster performance in this match. In the second leg, if Billingham plays according to his form together with Vinicius and Rodrygo, they can help Real crush Bayern.

This is what is said anything can happen on the field, things that were not expected or previously predicted could change 180% as long as the two teams are still fighting on the field. Dortmund really took advantage of the opportunity to play at home, the mentality of the players was also very strong in pursuing victory.
PSG which was previously predicted to be able to score goals at Dortmund headquarters, actually emerged as the team with the least chance of qualifying for the final. A 1-0 win in the first leg will increase the players' motivation to play more disciplined in the second leg, Dortmund only needs a draw to ensure a ticket to the final.
