Usually first leg match very difficult for predicting depend both team between Dortmund or PSG will play more offensive or defensive, last night Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid seems more offensive and the match result had draw. I don't think PSG will play more offensive as away match or Dortmund will play more aggressive with advantage as home match. In phase group, Dortmund success dominated from PSG by leading the top standings position but PSG eliminated favorite team Barcelona in quarter final after crucial come back.

PSG's performance some time can't predictable, in quarter final first leg match had bad result after defeating by Barcelona and I sure against Dortmund will get difficulty for winning the first leg match indeed has chance come back at second leg match or not.

as I always say, at these levels the matches become very difficult to predict
at high levels we have strong teams, teams that have played a lot and won a lot to get to this point in the competition
maybe you can get lucky in one game, but luck can`t always help you and therefore whoever arrives here has the strength necessary to do it
I never bet from the semi-finals onwards

The match between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain will be an interesting challenge. These two teams have already played each other twice in the group stage. Paris Saint-Germain won the match in France. The match in Germany ended in a 1-1 draw. Paris Saint-Germain has wanted this trophy for years. That's why they have signed players like Messi and Neymar before, but as fate would have it, they came very close to reaching the final stage in a season when Messi and Neymar were not in the team. I think Paris Saint-Germain will advance to the next round.

No longer favorites because they were unable to maintain a 2-1 score before Real Madrid received a penalty kick which made the score 2-2.
If Bayern Munich's game when they visit Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg does not change, Bayern Munich's opportunity to hold a draw is still open.

Bayern's game yesterday was very good and made things difficult for Real Madrid. If they continue in the 2nd leg by avoiding small mistakes, they can eliminate Real Madrid.
Getting rid of Real Madrid is certainly not easy in front of the Santiago public, it requires extra effort because Real Madrid can always create unexpected surprises.

Its wrong to have such conclusions, judging from the performances from the quarter finals, every team have performed well both from home and away, Barcelona won from away and lost terribly from home. Real Madrid drew both at home and away and won by penalties. The only favorites that will okay there is only if they Emily the services of a biased referee like the one that officiated the Barcelona vs PSG match which clearly favored PSG. If there's a repeat on that, then I can count it of as  another champions league match robbery and not a win. The odds are the same on the real Madrid soil,  if Bayern plays well, they would be victorious. There's no other special formula to it.

Basically, I personally doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League thisseason because after all, since the group phase, Real Madrid has never been easy to win even though the teams in the group phaseare not difficult. But still, because Real Madrid has a very good winning mentality and thus, Real Madrid always managest o get out of difficultpressure. Therefore, when Real Madrid plays against moredifficult teams, Real Madrid still manages to get good results. So yes, if I expect Bayern Munich to beat Real Madrid, then I think that will only happen ifBayern Munich gets great luck,because beating Real Madrid in the Champions League is certainly a very difficult target.

It was one of the great matches between the two teams in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately Bayern Munich failed to maintain their lead. Kim Min-jae's foul on Rodrygo in the penalty box saved Real Madrid from defeat, of course also because Vinicius managed to use the penalty into a goal.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid both performed well throughout the match and they also both made mistakes in the forbidden box which resulted in their opponents receiving penalties, but both teams both had opportunities in the second leg even though Real Madrid would actually be more favored at home. . Bayern Munich are no longer favorites in the second leg to win the match, meaning Real Madrid will be favourites.

Well, since Dortmund will be playing at home, let’s give them hope because their fans are encouraging the players, but I don’t think it will be an easy game for both of them and I am even thinking that PSG will be the winner today because of their respective forms in their respective domestic leagues.
If we check their scores in their last five matches against each others, PSG should have the higher chance because they won two out of the five matches they both played together, and they drew two while Dortmund only won one. Although the two matches were not at Dortmund’s home while the one match they played at home they won.

Since we have seen how Madrid get a draw against Bayern so we cannot give Dortmund the full advantage because they can lose to PSG. Let’s wait and see how the match will end because predicting Champions League semifinals is not as easy as people are thinking.

Didn't you see how Real Madrid played at Bayern Munich's headquarters, they seemed to refuse to lose after trailing with a score of 2-1 before Vinicius scored the second goal for Real Madrid. Real Madrid was still able to control the game even though they were under pressure, the players' calmness in maintaining the rhythm of their game indicated that their mentality was very strong.
I agree that anything can happen in a match, but beating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu is not an easy job. Manchester City have felt how difficult it is to win at Real Madrid's headquarters. Even though Guardiola embarrassed Real Madrid last season, Ancelotti's ingenuity makes it very difficult for any team to win in front of Real Madrid fans.

I do not think that the plan for Realmadrid was to draw that match it could be there second plan but wining was the plan, Realmadrid was performing very prepared, they did want to see anything as an excuse, though bayern on the other wasn't an easy crack for Realmadrid but I sighted very interesting something in that match, Realmadrid has a team that will make more difference in the next 6 or more years, the team work and eagerness to score a goal in the players is something very extra ordinary, i heard people saying that home does not matter in football, yea this may be true for a smaller team not for a team like Realmadrid, with what I saw Madrid displayed in that match, it is very obvious that Madrid is going to the finals unstoppable, bayern defense has been studied instead of Madrid not to score they will keep commiting them for a penalty.

this time I will try to take a bigger risk betting on builder bets on the Dortmund vs PSG match.
In this match of course both teams will not just give up and Dortmund at least also doesn't want to lose this opportunity to try to score and beat PSG.
meanwhile, PSG, even though they are playing away from home, will not let Dortmund win this match with a higher aggregate score, so it is very likely that both teams will score equally.

In this match it is a little difficult to determine who will win the match in the first leg because Dortmund is actually not that good in terms of performance while PSG has a much higher quality performance but has to play away from home and Dortmund will only get an advantage from the home match with confidence bigger.
even so, I think that a draw will not be possible and I still believe that PSG can beat Dortmund with a narrow score.

and one thing that Dortmund must monitor if they really don't want to miss this opportunity is not just to focus on Dembele and Mbappe but also other midfielders such as Vitinha, who previously managed to become a surprise player from PSG, who can always score against Barcelona.
If Dortmund is able to read PSG strategy, they can definitely win at the end of the match, but it's a little impossible.


so, what are your predictions regarding Dortmund vs PSG?

Borussia Dortmund will host PSG at home.I think Dortmund has the potential to beat PSG, but it won't be a really easy match for them.Borussia Dortmund has not been able to make their fans happy for a long time and now lifting a trophy can be seen as a blessing for them.PSG seems to be the favorite of the match, but I think Dortmund can surprise PSG.After eliminating Atletico Madrid, it should not be surprising if Dortmund eliminates PSG. Although the 2 teams don't have a clear advantage in the games they have played against each other, PSG managed to eliminate them the last time they met.

I don't think home advantage applies that much in this period champions league struggles, every team plays very well irrespective of the soil. The match between Bayern and Madrid was  a very impressive one. Bayern team played so well that I thought they would defeat Madrid by a big margin, but football happens and they drew at last. The return leg would not be any easier for Madrid because Bayern would prepare for a big fight in Spain. Unless Tuchel would lose guard unnecessarily in that match, if they play with same heat like they did in the first leg, I see Bayern  reaching the finals and dropping Real Madrid from the title race.

Today's match will be particularly unpredictable as the Dortmund team has shown great commitment and promise in this competition. I think PSG might be in for a serious battle tonight. It would be very entertaining to watch.

Real Madrid had their plans well planned against Bayern Munich to execute a draw rather than a loss match. I said a few days back that Real Madrid will try to have a draw match rather than a loss match against Bayern Munich. Having a formation of 4-4-2 will help them to execute that plan of a draw match against Bayern Munich, maybe in the second leg, they will change to a favorable formation(counterattack) that will make them win over Bayern Munich. Although I doubt if there will be a change of match formation of 4-4-2 for Real Madrid. The same 4-4-2 formation was what helped them to have a draw match against Manchester City in home and away. Sticking with the same formation will help again to win Bayern Munich since it's hard for a team to break their defense line.

How I wish this is Manchester City, we will have the opportunity to repeat a scoreline again but this Bayern Munich and by performance, they are not upto what Guardiola can do, they are not match at all. Bayern Munich actually did their best but it's not the same pressure Real Madrid faced when they went to Etihad and yet they won. I'm a bit reserve with what is going to be the outcome of the next leg between this two teams


You should expect away team to fuck up you know, Bellingham wasn't there in that match despite starting that is why he was substitutef by Modric and they were able to deliver well. They didn't do well but I expect a come back in the next leg, those guys are there luckiest when it comes to Champions League and surely they can pull that same thing again this season.

Toni Kroos is very experienced and clam at that moment. I saw the big space and hole in Bayern Munich's defense system and also recognized that Vinicius Junior did not smell this chance. Then he signaled it to Vinicius Junior before making that deadly key pass to the Brazilian player. The rest task is very simple for Vinicius Junior because with this big space and far distance till Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Vinicius has many options to finish that situation.

Manuel Neur actually did not have many chances to make a save with that magic combination of Kroos and Vinicius Junior.

From the beginning Madrid was favored to win the game against Munich, but instead we saw how Madrid had to fight hard even to get a draw in the match, Madrid did not expect that Munich would be able to play so solid and even able to continue to surprise Madrid's defense before Rodrygo scored, a 2-2 draw certainly made both teams fight hard enough in the second leg later,  But it seems that Madrid will of course benefit more in the second leg because they will play at the Bernabeu, although of course Munich can no longer be underestimated this season because indeed we can see how the performance and mentality they had in the first leg yesterday was extraordinary.

For the second leg of course it will be difficult for us to predict who will win if we look at the first leg, but I think Madrid will probably be able to repeat the miracle like they eliminated Manchester City from the Champions League, for now Madrid condition is like when facing Manchester City in the quarter-finals, the first leg is drawn, the second leg is maybe also a draw so I think Madrid and Munich will also be decided by penalty kicks in the leg The second is to determine the team that has the right to qualify for the final later.

I do not think it's a bad outcome for Bayern Munich. Your later statement saying " If they can play in Spain, without being intimidated is enough reason why it is not a bad result " Besides, this was the first and same scoreline Real Madrid had when they played at home during the quarter finals against Manchester City.

Next week, we will definitely come to that, they did well all rounders yesterday, honestly Real Madrid seem dull for me, that attack is not as sharp as the one I have in my head lol.
Bayern Munich also has no further Competition to play for so they could win a trophy, I expect them to go all out on Real Madrid at home. It should be a continuous attacking process until the final whistle of the game is heard.

I also believe that there is a very good chance that we will see Real Madrid in the final. There are over 20 games that Real Madrid have not lost at home in the stadium, so they are maybe impossible to beat at home. A great starting position for Real Madrid and the final will probably be without a German team. I dont think Dortmund can win today, Paris St. Germain are much stronger and there are only a few hours left until the game starts. I think there will be a few goals scored today, I hope there will be as many highlights as in yesterday's game.

The draw in the first leg for me might be a bit surprising too because afterall, Real Madrid has always been the favored team considering Real Madrid has a good dominance in the Champions League. So it was no surprise when in that match in the first half Real Madrid won with a score of 0-1 but evenso, Bayern Munich still had a good effort as well as the home team because Bayern Munich also managed to turn things around with a score of 2-1. Butyes, it is unfortunate that Bayern Munich failed to maintain the victory, until they had to accept a draw in this first leg with a score of 2-2 andyes, I still expect Bayern Munich to make a big surprise in the Champions League this season.
