Topic: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season - page 150. (Read 141878 times)

There is no doubt things were at the top in this first semifinal of the event with Real Madrid were really at the top and their strategy give them huge advantage while they were in position to steal the game but sadly at the end we are having good goal keeping from the Manuel Neuer which have brilliant saves and their team able this game on draw Vinícius Júnior were really amazing in this game, and he has done good job with I was expecting hat trick from him but sadly due to Manuel Neuer's brilliant keeping we have nothing about his well deserved hat trick.

With second leg which is going to play in Madrid things are looking well organized for the home side because they are doing good job in throughout season, and they can win in this game with having good chance for the win and having another final but still this is anybody game because both are well experienced and have equal chance.

Luis Enrique had made preparations before this match started, several of his mainstay players such as Kylian Mbappe, Lucas Hernandez and Gianluigi Donnarumma were not included in the starting list when PSG played against La Havre. He also doesn't care what results he achieves in that game because whatever the results are in Ligue 1, it no longer matters to his team.
Luis Enrique preparations are a form of his seriousness in facing Dortmund in the UCL because this match is very special for PSG who are trying to appear in the final. The massacre carried out at Barcelona headquarters could give PSG players encouragement to repeat their success. A victory at Dortmund headquarters would make it easier for PSG when playing the second leg.

This is always a surprise when other people don't pay attention, that a club like Dortmund, which was initially not sure of qualifying, but managed to prove that it had passed by kicking Simeone troops, as well as PSG, at that time the gamblers made more offers for Barcelona, but in the end Barcelona also completely massacred. Therefore, it is time to open your eyes to what will happen, that Dortmund and PSG both have the same opportunity. Haven't we seen many big matches when Man City also had to swallow the bitter pill? Bayern Munich against Madrid was also favored by Madrid but ended in a draw. With so many unexpected events, the UCL competition is difficult to predict.

The position that Tuchel needs to pay more attention to when they play the second leg is defense, Real Madrid can do unexpected things that make Bayern Munich fail to advance to the final. I predict Real Madrid will break into Bayern Munich goal more than once if Tuchel implements an attacking strategy at the Santiago Bernabeu because Real Madrid is very quick in counter attack. Tuchel had to rewatch the game when Real Madrid held Manchester City to a draw to limit the movement of Real Madrid players and close down spaces that could endanger his team's goal.

This match is very important for Real Madrid who are trying to appear in the final, playing at the Santiago Bernabeu will increase the enthusiasm of the players in achieving victory. Bayern Munich must take advantage of every opportunity they get to put pressure on Real if they want to qualify for the final. Harry Kane's sharpness must be utilized to score as many goals as possible and build a strong defense to frustrate Real Madrid's players.

There is no need to doubt Real Madrid mentality in the UCL, previously this team was also able to hold Manchester City to a 3-3 draw after previously trailing 3-2. Real Madrid's success in eliminating Manchester City was not due to coincidence or luck alone, the enthusiasm of the Real Madrid players needs to be appreciated because they were able to control their emotions even though their position was under pressure.

Bayern Munich prove to people yesterday that they are well organized in this season to withstand any team to prove their seriousness in this semi-final, which they did to drew the game 2:2 with Real Madrid.

It was a tough game from the beginning, but Bayern Munich change the game in the second half to block Real Madrid strategy to ensure they draw the game in their first leg, so that they will have the opportunity to stand strong to battle with Real Madrid in the second leg.

Despite Bayern Munich will be meeting Real Madrid in their home for second leg, I have that believe that Bayern Munich will going to beat Real Madrid 0:2 to achieve victory from the game to qualify for final stage.

I never expected Bayern yesterday to be that much aggressive and although they played well some simple mistakes made them get to 2-2 draw which clearly is a result that favors Real Madrid despite goals in the opponent field do not count as 2 goals from quite some time now.I think that Real Madrid will crush Bayern Munchen in the return leg as simply they are superior in quality compared to Bayern and playing in their home stadium has always seen them victorious in 99% of the encounters they have against Bayern.

For tonight game I think that if Paris is serious about going to the final they should finish the job since tonight and not wait for the return leg,this way they will have peace of mind and I think the fact that they did not win at home in their local league shows that they saved their energies for tonight.

With the current condition of Bayern Munich, they try in that game because even though they are at home, I didn’t expect them to play that way talkless of ending the game in a draw with Real Madrid, who I’m expecting to be the champions of the league this season. However, Real Madrid are in their best performance this season, while Bayern Munich are not so definitely. We should definitely expect winning from Real Madrid and not Bayern Munich, but nevertheless, it is still a good result for both teams, but I think Bayern Munich have lost hope of getting the title this season. 


Though I’m not expecting to win from Dortmund because PSG are doing better than them and Dortmund only got to this stage because they faced weaker opponents in their previous matches, they managed to secure some points to be in this stage. However, PSG have a higher chance of winning the game than Dortmund, and I believe PSG will try and do that since the match is very important for them so they can face Real Madrid. 

If you want to follow bookies predictions then it is PSG that is expected to win.
For me it is a draw > PSG > Borussia Dortmund with a small narrow and a high risk between the draw and PSG victory. If Borussia Dortmund would win the game then it will be a surprise for me since they were able to reach that point thanks to the relatively weaker opponents they faced comparing to the other teams that are playing semifinals.

That is why Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi earned the nickname Greatest of All Time (GOAT). Because they are always extraordinary. When they were young we could see how their games always amazed us. Maybe now both of them are not as good as before. But still they are still extraordinary now.
Haaland doesn't have that yet. But this player will still get better because he is still 23 years old. But I would probably still say that no one has been able to match CR7 and Messi's level to date. And Bellingham is actually similar to Cristiano Ronaldo in that Bellingham is currently a quite productive attacking midfielder. In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo was also a very productive wing midfielder. I'm also curious about this player. And with him still being 20 years old, let's see what changes and improvements have occurred in this player. He had a big stage with Real Madrid. And he can't waste it.

You could say that, the draw at the Allianz Arena meant that Tuchel had to devise alternative tactics and strategies for his squad when competing at the Santiago Bernabeu. however, we don't know how the match will go in the second leg before the match takes place. So Bayern Munich still has a chance to win the match in the second leg even though the match will be held at Madrid headquarters. because after all, this is not the first time Bayern Munich has visited Santiago Bernabeu. moreover, the semifinal match in the second leg was the deciding match. It could be that the situation will reverse, Real Madrid will dominate the game, and Bayern will have to look for gaps to break through Madrid's defense. in particular, executing a quick counterattack.

Talking about last night's match, Bayern played quite well. Jamal Musiala was more dominant in controlling the ball and tried to break through the Real Madrid defenders. He tried to hit several shots, but it seemed like he wasn't calm enough to control the ball. however, Musiala contributed greatly to Bayern Munich's second goal. As for Kane, he actually played quite well, unfortunately of the 4 shots he fired, two were off the mark and two more were blocked by the Madrid goalkeeper. So in last night's match, Kane was only able to score from the penalty spot.

On the other hand, even though Die Roten excelled in possession of the ball, Real Madrid always found a way. No matter if they are pressured, Real Madrid can always keep up with their opponents. If Bayern wants to advance to the next phase, Tuchel must make the right strategy and tactics. because Madrid is playing at their own home. Apart from that, Don Carlo's team is not a team that panics easily, Madrid is a team that has a winning mentality in this competition compared to other teams. which means, Bayern Munich must be more alert when they visit Real Madrid's home ground.

Bayern Munich gave real Madrid much opportunities to penetrate their defense. Real Madrid were lucky that they weren't playing a team like Manchester City and allow them take the lead to the dying minutes, they could not have equalized. But that has already happened, so Bayern has to get prepared in the second leg. If Real Madrid could come to their home and get a draw, same why they can go to Spain and get a draw from there or possibly win. Thank God the away goals rules don't count any more, so they are not in any away at disadvantage, if they know they can't get the win, they should push hard and get the match to penalty shootout. Once the game get to penalty shootout it's now a 50:50 chance to qualify.

Well, hehe, I lost the bet even knowing that a draw was the most likely outcome
I could have followed my reason instead of the emotion of the game  
But it was worth it to watch another great game, and even more so that nothing is decided, the second game promises to be as good as it was against M. City, again

talking about the other semi final
I'm really looking forward to today's PSG match
Is it worth taking a chance on PSG winning or am I risking too much?

The odds for Real Madrid win look really nice!    But it is for 90 minutes right, not including extra time?

Then the risk goes higher however I still see it as a reasonable risk to take to be honest. I believe in Real Madrid to beat this Bayern Munich without playing even extra 30 minutes. It is Santiago Bernabeu we are talking about. We shouldn't see another defensive game choice by Ancelotti. People who want to lower the risk can just bet on Real Madrid to qualify which is 1.52. I just don't give Bayern Munich a high chance to surprise us.

I'm okay with Real Madrid - Dortmund or Real Madrid - PSG finals both. 

Yeah, if Real Madrid have that chances they could scored more than that, because Bayern Munich dominated every important aspect of the stats but the couldn't, i was never surprised with the result of the match, assuming Bayern Munich were in their best form i will be expecting winning with them especially when it was played at Allianz Arena and lost only two games in Allianz Arena since the season started.

I can confidently say that Real Madrid can win at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium because they have not lost any games at home, they remain unbeaten at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium since the starting of the season, and i don't see any consistency with Bayern Munich to break that record, the second leg is for Real Madrid.

I also felt the same tension when watching Real Madrid against Bayern because this is a prestigious match and of course those who win in the semifinals will advance to the final which of course after reaching the final will get good seats because there is the potential to become 1st place and runner up. .

Yes, as the host, Bayern played well and yes, I was also amazed by the technique used by Ancelotti which made the match a 2-2 draw and uniquely in this match, 1 goal was scored by 2 teams from a penalty kick from Madrid. Vini scored a goal via a penalty kick and other goals. while Kane from Bayern scored a goal via a penalty kick.

In the 2nd leg, it is clear that Real Madrid will have the potential to win, but if you look at Bayern's strength, it will certainly make it difficult for Real Madrid, but I personally have a feeling that Madrid will have the potential to win against Bayern, but of course the match in the 2nd leg will definitely be more tense because the match that will determine which team deserves to advance to the final round.

Of course PSG's match against Dortmund is no less tense than Real Madrid's match against Bayern. Yes, it seems like many people are favoring PSG to win, but I personally also predict that PSG will have the potential to win and advance to the final.

You are telling the truth. The point where Haaland is criticized the most is his inadequate performance in big matches. If he succeeds in this, Bellingham will have responded to the criticisms made about him. This is exactly where CR7 and Messi differ from others. They managed to become the best players at any stage. That's why they are the best in the world. Now Bellingham's rematch performance is a matter of curiosity. I hope it shows a performance that can meet the criticism.

In any game there are episodes that could influence it in one direction or another, but I think that a 2-2 draw is a logical and fair outcome. Now the odds of a return game are as follows:

In any game there are episodes that could influence it in one direction or another, but I think that a 2-2 draw is a logical and fair outcome. Now the chances of a return game are as follows:

1.93 - 3.85 - 3.65

Real Madrid are a clearer favorite than Bayern were in the home game, but I want to point out that 1.93 is a pretty generous quote. I don’t think that Bayern can stay on equal terms with Real for 2 games and that Real will decide in extra time.

A late goal from Vinicius Junior earned Real Madrid a draw against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. I thought Real Madrid would win against Bayern Munich yesterday, but I was surprised to see the good performance of Bayern Munich in the second half, which made them score two goals against Real Madrid in the space of 7 minutes. Even though Real Madrid didn't beat Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena yesterday night, it was a good result for Real Madrid because they will not need to win against Bayern Munich with a certain number of goals when Bayern Munich visits them at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid just needs to beat Bayern Munich at Santiago Bernabeu to reach this year's UEFA Champions League competition finals.

Bayern didn't look bad, they reminded me of City at some points when they tried to press Real, but Real's defense would have been good. It was important for Bayern to win, but as we remember, two draws were enough for Real Madrid in the quarterfinals to advance further. It may not be easy for Bayern to play a draw away, but Bayern will definitely not give up so easily, if they also will play away as good as they played at home, then nothing is over for them.

UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg was between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Two teams that have won the Champions League 20 times in total and played in the final 27 times in total that was a great pleasure to watch. Bayern Munich draw 2-2 to Real Madrid at their home. But I think the advantage is in Real Madrid. The second leg will definitely be very difficult for Bayern Munich because they have to play in front of Real Madrid supporters. Also we can say for Real Madrid a "winner" for the Champions League.

Also Luka Modric made history at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich, becoming the oldest player to feature in a Champions League match for Real Madrid at the age of 38 years and 234 days. Congrats Luka.
