I also watched Dortmund's match against PSG and it was a shame that I lost the bet because I predicted that PSG would win against Dortmund because in my opinion PSG is a strong team, especially in Ligue 1. PSG is the best team. However, I was very disappointed because PSG couldn't score a goal against Dortmund and Mbappe's shot wasn't accurate enough which ultimately didn't result in a goal.

but yes, of course the match is not over, there is still a second leg. Regarding this, I remember PSG's quarter-final against Barcelona, ​​where at that time, in the first leg, PSG lost, but in the second leg, PSG performed better and won the match. and yes, I personally also predict that in the second leg, PSG will definitely avenge their defeat in the first leg. However, the result of the match is very difficult to predict because of course it is possible that Dortmund will perform better in the second leg. However, it looks like the second leg will be a lucky match for PSG because as hosts they usually always appear more enthusiastic and of course don't want to be embarrassed by the opposing team.

yes and of course the second leg will definitely be an exciting match and it would be a shame not to watch it.

I wasn't surprised to see that PSG couldn't defeat Borussia Dortmund at home because the last time PSG visited Borussia Dortmund at home, PSG lost to Borussia Dortmund. If not for the away goal that was canceled in the UEFA Champions League, there could have been no hope for PSG to qualify for the UEFA Champions League finals. But if PSG beats Borussia Dortmund by 2-1 or 1-0 in the returning leg, they will play extra time. If PSG wants to reach this year's UEFA Champions League finals, they should beat Borussia Dortmund before the 90-minute period ends so that they can have the opportunity to knock out Borussia Dortmund in extra time or a penalty shootout.

Dortmund has the advantage when they visit PSG headquarters, even though the goals are small, it creates an advantage for them. Mbappe didn't get many chances in that match because Dortmund managed to suppress PSG's midfield so they couldn't hold the ball freely. I also saw that Mbappe didn't have a good chance to score in the first half and on the other hand he didn't hold the ball like in a normal match.

The hard work of the Dortmund players looks very solid and I really like the pressing game they showed. Now you just need to prepare yourself when you visit PSG headquarters and maybe everything will change there, but Dortmund has the advantage now compared to PSG.

At this level, in a knock out match, one goal or one missing goal can decide the final result. PSG still have a second leg match to rescue themselves and one goal is not a big difference so that PSG will be able to beat Dortmund in the next semi final match.

No home away advantage reduces pressure on PSG a lot because they don't mind that how many goals they will get in the next match. They only need to beat Dortmund to equalize the aggregated result and if they can win with two goal difference, they will go to the final match.

It's hard to say Mbappe played well in the first leg semi final but he and his team mates will have 90 more minutes or even 120 minutes in the next match to find for a spot in Champions League final. Mbappe will use all energy he has to achieve it as he will want to say good bye with a Champions League title.

PSG missed far too many opportunities in this game. I reminded you when the ball hit the bar twice and it was so frustrated to see that how PSG's chance was not successfully being ocnverted into the goals. It is one of PSG's missed opportunities. Nonetheless, I believe PSG was unlucky in this game and it may different in home game. PSG's home game against Dortmund could be crucial to their victory but PSG must have scored a lot of goals to change the situation. To be honest, I believe Dortmund's performance is still slightly better than PSG's.

PSG was not playing, but I believe Dortmund has better execution than PSG in this match even though it leads only 1 goal aggregate, psg will able to do revenge at home game against dortmund. It will be a difficult match for Dortmund when they travel to PSG's home. Things may change dramatically because PSG will always play fully offensive in order to surpass its aggregate.
The better for Dortmund to play parking bus in the second leg, preventing PSG from scoring as many goals as possible. I strongly believe PSG will reach the final to face Real Madrid after defeating Bayern Munich. Dortmund was not particularly strong, but PSG was unfortunate in this match.
The second leg will be very different because Dortmund will undoubtedly implement a different strategy. That is something I strongly believe in.

Vinicius has been performing exceptionally well in that game. The way Kross assisted him can be considered one of the best even many people have been also giving credit for kross's pass. That is why Bayern Munich failed to take advantage of Real Madrid in their home game caused by its defender has made a mistake by leaving his position. It will be disastrous for munich because the second leg will be played away.

It will be a serious match for Bayern Munich because it is the club's final chance to advance to the final and tuchel must be thinking even more serious about how to beat real madrid in away game. Real Madrid, as the reigning UCL champions, may not allow it to happen anytime soon caused by the club must able to get its 15th UCL trophies this season no matter what kind of opponents awaiting the club. That will be the biggest challenge for Bayern Munich to play away with a very big pressure from the draw in the first leg. No advantage for bayern munich

Playing in a scary place like Santiago Bernabeu may also cause Bayern Munich's performance to improve. It's so difficult to predict whether Bayern will win the game against real madrid in santiago bernabeu caused by many clubs have tried that but they failed, but we'll see in the coming weeks what plan owned by tuchel for the second leg.
Ancellotti may not be changing its formation. I'd be thrilled if Tuchel tried to order Kim to always stay in his position. Vini's goal was made possible because Kim was out of position.
So Kross was passing the ball to Vini in a free space.

Yes, at least PSG should score 2 goals in the second leg. They might be able to do it considering that during the quarter-finals too, conditions were like this, losing by 1 goal to Barcelona. And if you look at how they play and perform in this match. Actually, it's not bad enough, it's just that the spearhead of the attack this time is not effective enough. Even PSG was actually attacking enough. Well, but, Dortmund have indeed strengthened their defense better.

Mbappe actually played a big role this time, he even almost scored a goal at PSG from his kick, very close. but very unfortunately, it failed. Of the front players, Mbappe still has the best performance among them. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Dembele's contribution did not help much, so you could say it was less than optimal.

Dortmund acted beyond expectations, which in my opinion PSG were more favorites before the match started. As a result, there are definitely many wrong predictions, because they believe that PSG will not lose even if they play away from home. Dortmund played more effectively, even though the overall course of the match looked balanced. However, there is still a second leg, but confidence in PSG has decreased, it will be difficult for PSG to turn things around. Apart from that, it is possible that many bettors will choose to avoid placing bets on the second leg match, because Luis Enrique squad can never be completely trusted. If PSG fails to advance to the final, their dark history in the Champions League continues, it's no wonder Mbappe insists on leaving for Real Madrid in order to more easily win trophies.

I don't know, I don't think I can say what outcome they'll get during that game, they should have at least done well to draw this game tonight.
The better side tonight was Borrussia Dortmund anyways, that goal should have been offside but the brazilian defender didn't make his movement quickly.
Whatever happens, I feel like we might see two Bundesliga League Clubs in the finals.

Real Madrid has to be very careful during the second leg, Bayern Munich has nothing to lose, so most definitely they're giving it all they have.

Dortmund 1 - 0 PSG

I confess that I am very surprised by this result, in this season of the European Champions League, PSG was in the same group with Dortmund.

In the first leg game the result was as follows:

PSG 2 - 0 Dortmund

in that game psg won without conceding a goal

When the second leg was played, the result was as follows:

Dortmund 1 - 1 PSG

It was a more complicated game for PSG, although PSG came out of that game with more ball possession, they still had the same number of shots. So this shows that Dortmund are dangerous at home and in yesterday's game PSG should have at least managed a draw, although a victory would have been ideal

In my opinion, this PSG defeat could mean the end of them in the Champions League this season. If they score 2 goals in the next game and don't concede a goal, it won't be an easy task, I see it as an almost impossible mission. because Dortmund will play at PSG's home with the mission of scoring at least 1 goal and staying on defense, because with this strategy they will qualify for the final.

thanks to Dortmund's victory against PSG

Dortmund were lucky this time, they were very close to losing their place in the next European champions league.

In my opinion, it is too optimistic that if it is easy to score 2 goals at home in the second leg, the final result could be a draw, which is not a benchmark because Dortmund are also good at reading the opponent's scheme, no matter how difficult it is, Dortmund can overcome it, I think it is very difficult for  PSG wants to make a comeback in this match, even though in the previous match they were able, but it looks like this time they will fail..

We watched a very enjoyable game, B.Dortmund won 1-0, but there is one more game.
I think PSG will beat B.Dortmund at home, but nothing is certain in this cup.
I hope we can watch such an exciting and enjoyable game again.

I cannot imagine the result I am seeing, first because I lost my prediction and second because Borussia Dortmund weren't expected to win even though they are playing home!
Both teams played equally from what I heard and it seems that PSG will have hard moments getting a draw and passing Borussia Dortmund in the second leg. Taking unnecessary risks after a defeat is something PSG has to have to avoid leaving the competition. We are talking about a golden season for PSG that might vanish and turn to a nightmare in case of failure..

Signal Iduna is not a comfortable place for opponents. It's a very hostile territory and that is always in the advantage of Dortmund. Atletico Madrid faced a similar situation there, so the yea, PSG loss doesn't surprise me. Plus, PSG is not a spectacular team. They're a good team, but they're not spectacular. I knew they wouldn't be able to get a win today. My bet was a win or draw for Dortmund and when Dortmund scored first, I knew the best result that PSG could get would be a draw.

The second leg would be more interesting. PSG have the advantage of playing at home even though they're already a goal down. I'm expecting to see a match where PSG would use the full force of their wing and constantly press Dortmund. Dortmund shouldn't try to protect their 1 goal lead because I doubt they'll be able to do it for 90 minutes. They should try to get more goals in Paris. PSG's defense is not very good so if they have a go at them they might get a couple of goals too.

The situation could be reversed again in the second leg, like in the quarter final against Barcelona, who would have thought that PSG would qualify for the semifinals after falling behind in the first leg. This kind of thing is very normal, Dortmund played well in front of their own supporters, and in the second leg PSG will play like that in front of their supporters too. In fact, PSG defeat was very surprising, where previously Enrique fleet was predicted to win the match.

Dortmund' victory deserves appreciation, they managed to show a different performance from their domestic competition, and that is something that is difficult to do. But winning with a 1 goal margin is not safe enough to face PSG in the second leg, and I think PSG will be able to turn things around. That's not to underestimate Dortmund, I don't mean to go there, but I'm sure PSG will at least be able to equalize the aggregate in the next match.

On the other hand, it is possible that in the second leg the match will go to a penalty shootout, to find a winner who deserves to go to the final. There are still many surprises that might happen in the future, there is no guarantee that Madrid will face Dortmund in the final or vice versa. We have to wait to see who will set foot in the top party and win the trophy this season.

I think it was more of a balanced game than such that you would want to think was a one sided game but then Dortmund actually made sure not to be beaten at home so as to maintain an edge when they will be visiting France because if they had been beaten or even conceded a goal at home, it would have exerted some form of pressure on them when they will be playing in France of which it will be detrimental to their performance.

Dortmund was actually brilliant in todays game much more than they had done in the bundesliha, i also  found out that they at some point had good dominance over the midfield than PSG and PSG was only able to work properly around the flanks which mad than had poor possession although they were able to retain the ball the few times they possessed it but Dortmund was able to so much more with it then PSG had done, the game ending in the favour of Dortmund is actually a deserving victory as their performance was good enough.

I'm suspecting a draw at France because i know PSG wouldn't want to loose and at same time Dortmund wouldn't want to let this opportunity go without getting the best off it especially with the fact that they are already at an advantage of having a goal at home which is something they can capitalize on to making sure they are able to make it to the next round of the champions league and have an opportunity to dare to win the trophy.

Never in doubt this was a thrilling game between the both teams that many had already ruled out of reaching this stage in the competition. Both Dortmund and Bayern Munich have had their worst seasons this season but both are putting in lots of effort in this champions League. The match today wasn’t only just a semi final but also fighting for next season qualification. Had Dortmund lost today the last spot for the new champions league format would have been given to the premier league but with the result today it is going to be awarded to the Bundesliga fifth place finisher which at the moment is Dortmund themselves. So even if they finish outside top 4 they will get a chance with the fifth palace to play the big game again.

To me this isn’t over yet, PSG at home will definitely frustrate this Dortmund. The two goals to qualify them is not a big deal. Dortmund with already an advantage they should be able to hold off Mbappe and CO.

A difference of two goals will give PSG the qualification to the finals. If Dortmund can go to France and draw the match it means that Dortmund will be the club playing the finals with Re Madrid. PSG played very well but not as good enough to give them an equalizer or win the game away from home. I know that most clubs perform very outstanding at home  and that is why PSG can still surprise us by winn9witb a big goal margin. Dortmund had a good defense tonight, amd that helped them a lot.

As far as I am concerned,PSG are out of this tournament,and there is no way Dortmund who are so United and together are going to let them win them 2:0,I know the game is not over yet,but I just strongly believe Dortmund are going to edge it to the final,and they will play that final with Madrid.PSG are already on their way gone from this tournament ,they are just waiting to play the second leg and go home.Dortmund have really done something amazing this night by defeating PSG,I mean what I thought was going to be the result of that match was a draw,but it went in favour of Dortmund.Cingrats to them.

Even though in the Bundesluiga, Dotmund lost 4-1 to Leipzig, but from the start many people predicted that this match would be very tough for PSG, Dortmund deserved to win this match, they played very carefully and didn't want to just defend, the goal was scored by fullkrug is also very charming.  The second leg will take place on the 8th at PSG's home ground, this is PSG's chance to win with a big score, well if they want to reach the UCL final they have to win 2-0 at least.
