Thomas Tuchel is still consisder average when we're talking about Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti, managers that have equipped themselves with good results. Real Madrid will always take up high level of task because they're elite team and strong enough to face any opposing opponents. Bayern Munich have no good odds of winning Real Madrid in the UCL semifinal. We know what it took the Bavarians to reach this stage this season but they just have to fight for crucial points meant to be accumulated.

It won't be that easy and I'm sure Madrid will still qualify for the final round.
that doesn't mean I'm underestimating Bayern Munich, but I'm just stating the reality that it won't be possible to compete just relying on Kane alone, while teamwork is really needed in this UCL competition.
look at how Real Madrid players have worked together very solidly for a long time, even though they failed last season but that was just a wrong strategy , whereas Munich since Kane arrival seems as if other players are just relying on Kane without wanting to contribute to getting a score.
Munich this season is really different from the previous season when Kane had not yet joined Munich, It looked like the cooperation was very good, but after Kane arrived, everyone relied on Kane alone and this is not something that is good to do in the UCL.

I agree with this, Bayern should not be underestimated, especially since they have very good matches, and they have Kane, Sane, Gnabry, these guys know how to score. Real are in great shape now, but we need to see how the first match ends, especially since for Real it will be an away game, and Bayern looks better at home. The confrontation between these teams has always been difficult, and the first match will be especially important for Bayern, if they cannot win at home, then in Madrid it will be almost impossible to do so.

Their poor performance this season of course made them never again seeded in the Champions League, last season's change of coach made many changes to the Bayern Munich squad on the negative side, but after many slumps I think we cannot relate this to the injuries that befell Bayern Munich because indeed at that time only two Bayern players were injured namely Coman and Gnabri and even then they had managed to anticipate with The arrival of Bryan Zaragoza, but from the slump that befell Bayern Munich in domestic competitions, of course fans should be grateful because currently Bayern Munich can still compete in the Champions League.

Against Madrid in the semi-finals of course makes Bayern Munich's journey will be quite difficult, because at the moment Madrid are the strongest team competing in the Champions League, but I think Tuchel still has a great chance to win the Champions League this season regardless of their status as underdogs this season, I think in this match will be a match that relies on intelligence in the application of the game strategy of both coaches,  Facing Madrid, of course, Bayern Munich need all their players in top condition and of course Kane will be the hope and differentiator for Munich later in breaking down Madrid's defense.

Sincerely the match is going to be tough and probably the real final of this champions league event, both teams are on top form and both have a good manager that has also proved themselves to be champions league winners, bayern suffered lose in their league and is unable to seize the title of winner against Bayer leverkusen and that poses a question if they are the better side to win the champions league.

Bayern has been on a top notch finishing this season and that is undeniably true and same with real madrid, real Madrid has a good forward set with vinicius as a real speedster that can forward any counter, real Madrid has a lot of players to be scared of in this upcoming match and most of all their zeal and passion to hold the title once again ever and claim their birth right tingles me to place my bet on real Madrid. The question is can bayern not concive against real Madrid that has both a sold defence and attack while bayern has more of an attack than defence and it even cost them their own league title. My bet is on real Madrid and that is because they have a more sold team than bayern in terms of overall strength, but miracles do happen as in the case of man City vs real Madrid, everyone was sure that man City had it in their hands, so many chances missed, they had kept Madrid at defence for more than all the second halve, everyone was tired but luck was on their side as the penalty coin rolled to them, would we be expecting a tough match like the one we just witnessed against man City and real Madrid or would the winner be already decide in the first leg playoffs.

The competition will be between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and in this competition, the two managers will make almost all the decisions for their teams off the field. However, although the two managers are quite experienced, considering Real Madrid's team, Ancelotti will have some chance to stay ahead of Bayern Munich with his team. The first leg match is important for both the teams so both the teams will definitely want to do well in the first match and take the pressure off in the second match. If the first leg is a draw between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the second leg will undoubtedly be a tough match.

For the past two years they have been poor,as they almost bottled the Bundesliga League Competition last season, thanks to Borrussia Dortmund who couldn't make good use of what opportunity they had.

Thomas Tuchel just fumbled it again this season. Injuries and his strategies caused all of it though, I won't put all of the blame on him but he had a hand in this matters.
Carlo Ancellotti has a good record in the Champions League Competition against Bayern Munich and we'll see what can be done. Can remember Thomas Tuchel winning Real Madrid with Chelsea.

Mine, is not just about Bayern Munich, they all have won stuff's in a way, it's all about Harry Kane. Lad deserves silverwares to beautify his career profile.

Tuchel and Ancelo are both coaches with great experience in European football. no one will doubt their prowess in packing a very good team.
this is going to be a very heated semi-final. After Madrid's efforts to overthrow Man City, now they are faced with an opponent who is no less strong. In such important matches, sometimes statistics don't apply. Many surprises can happen, but I just hope my bet wins and the match is very entertaining. I also hope there is no final between the 2 teams from the Bundesliga.

They are both strong and experienced clubs in Europe and in Champions League. Next two weeks, they will have two big clashes that are very exciting for their fans and even neutral fans globally. With their positions in domestic leagues, La Liga and Bundesliga, they will be able to fully focus on two semi final matches in Champions League. Their concentrations for Champions League will contribute to make clashes more severe, interesting and unpredictable.

Ancelotti with his long coach career and many success with AC Milan and Real Madrid, will not underestimate Tuchel in tactics and will prepare very carefully for two semi finals. He is experienced to know that at this level, carelessness and mistakes will be paid with very high cost.

Tuchel with some seasons in Champions League with PSG and Chelsea in the past, is experienced too and he will be one of most helpful aces under sleeves for Bayern Munich to beat a strong opponent like Real Madrid.

Both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have strong experienced squads, there is a gap for the two managers. Ancelotti is the most successful active manager in the Champions League right now, and Tuchel may have won two Champions League trophies, but his Champions League records are not comparable to Ancelotti. This factor gives an edge for Real Madrid, aside the performance throughout this season.

Ancelotti has a deeper understanding of what it takes to win on the biggest stage. He can adapt his strategies based on the opponent and navigate the emotional intensity of important games in Champions League stage. Tuchel is a tactically smart manager known for his ability to adjust his approach based on the strengths of their opponents, he shouldn't be underestimated. The tie will probably be a close battle decided by players' brilliance, and a bit of luck.

Considering the general performance of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in all competitions since the start of the current season, there's no doubt to the fact that the Spanish La Liga club is the favorite team to make it to the final of the UEFA Champions League at the expense of their German opponents. Real Madrid have been more consistent and unlike Bayern Munich who lost their title defense to Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid is currently leading in the Spanish La Liga table and are very likely to win their league title this season.
Another factor that I think will play a major role in deciding which team will win the UEFA Champions League semi final between the two European heavyweights is the experience of managers of both clubs. For Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel who is their manager has won the UCL just once as a manager while Carlo Ancelotti have lifted it in four different occasions. Ancelotti is very experienced when it comes to managing his players and bringing out the best from them so I think he'll be putting his experience to a huge test just to ensure he wins the UCL this season.

Simply put, Real Madrid is the favorite club to advance to the final round by beating Bayern Munich in the next match. It seems that this possibility will go according to expectations, which is what I think the two teams are showing different levels of play and mentality this season, Ancelotti squad looks quite consistent in winning this season. Apart from that, we hope that the two managers can field their best squad, so that we can enjoy the high-tension match. Bayern Munich is a little lucky in the first leg, because the match will be held at the Allianz Arena.

But on the other hand, I agree with you, it looks like Real Madrid will face PSG in the final, it looks more exciting than the Real Madrid versus Dortmund meeting. However, we realize that everything can change, there are no guarantees in football, we can only assume based on the facts that occur. Predictions could change completely, Real Madrid and PSG could be eliminated, even though most people place these two teams as favorites. Let's see how the first leg will go, it takes a lot of consideration if we want to bet on the two Champions League semifinal matches.

Both sides have outstanding players that are eager to deliver superb performance, it's been really a rough day for both managers but they've held on till this very moment. Bayern Munich will fight but I don't think they're capable of handling a top team like Real Madrid. When it comes to UEFA Champions League football, don't presume any odds because there's certain thing called Levels in football. Real Madrid come first on the table and they've been the very best team no oppositions would pray not to faced at crucial phase.

Everyone expects Bayern Munich to play with their best. But it doesn't mean Bayern Munich will defeat Real Madrid. With the current condition in Bayern team, I am not sure Bayern Munich will defeat Real Madrid. Tuchel will leave Bayern Munich and they are experiencing bad season in Bundesliga. There should be no good mentality of the players with this condition. Meanwhile Real Madrid is in a good condition because they won La Liga and expect to win again the UCL trophy. So, I believe Real Madrid will have no problem to eliminate Bayern Munich in semi-final. Real Madrid will go to the final round, they probably will meet PSG in the final match.

Few believe they will win when you look at it from the outside, but it's a more than realisable goal. Bayern have beaten everyone in the past, and even now they are a very strong team. It feels like they just lost the team spirit to win, it's like they still have it, but it's not as strong. After all, previously, the sight of one alone would strike fear in opponents, now this is no longer the case

I am also wishing Bayern Munich well, not because I have issues with Real Madrid but because I will ordinarily wish Bayern Munich could, at least, for this season. So they can have a feel of what it takes to win over the big guys in the Champions league. However, football doesn't work like that, everyone is working hard to win and they are all putting in their efforts and expertise to bring results. If that is the case, Tuchel have a lot of works to do because some of his players are also not in good standing, including Gnabry, Coman and Sané.

Different bettors have different opinions, for example I was sure that PSG would win against Barcelona and although this happened in an “unforeseen” way due to an early red card that broke the game, for me it was a logical result. It’s a pity that I didn’t make a money bet in that game (the odds for the overall victory of PSG were 4+), but I did bet on Atlético to knock out Inter (odds 4.1), although for many this outcome was unexpected.
As for the final of Real against Dortmund/PSG, I think that Dortmund/PSG will have no less chances than Bayern. They may be weaker than Bayern, but the final is just one game and being lucky here is much more likely than in a two-game confrontation.

I agree with you because dependency on a particular player on its own it's even a form of weakness and an advantage for the opponent because they can decide to use that against you to their advantage and be able to probably get that player who they know is vital to your team stocked such that his performance in that game will be minimal and your team becomes weak to the point they will just use the psychological advantage to win the game.

Bayern Munich would definitely want to have some form of dependency around harry cane in his ability to make creative moves in the Frontline to giving them the goal advantage but then Real Madrid is very much aware of this and will definitely want to work against it because if they don't they will have to suffer a loss which will reduce their chance at the finals and even winning the trophy this season of which they wouldn't want to because they have fought this far just to making sure they gat a chance to win the champions league once again after some seasons of trying and not getting to the finals for a chance to win the trophy.

I still have some form of convocation in the fact that Bayern Munich may not be able to make it to the finals this season as Madrid is definitely going to give their very best as seen in their last game in their domestic league where they had to rest players for the sake of the champions league yet they were still able to secure victory in the game and so playing with their full squad we shouldn't be expecting any less.

We can always expect to see a miracle from any team in the Champions League. In fact, we couldn't expect to see PSG beat Barcelona or Arsenal lose the game agist Bayern Munich because Arsaenal ahd much beter sitation than Bayern Munich and had a better atmosphere in their team but I couldn't predict the games right so far.
Now while we have Dortmund, PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich left in this tournament, maybe if you compare these three teams you can expect to see Real Madrid have more chance than the other teams and if they beat Bayern Munich in the semi-final game they can have much higher chance to win the Champions League title for another time.

I think Bayern Munich performance this season is relatively unstable, but they can improve the quality of their game when they play in important matches like the Champions League. Yes, this season there is an opportunity for Bayern Munich to target the UCL title because they only need to win the match against Real Madrid to enter the final. However, it is important to remember that Real Madrid is quite a difficult opponent for them and their hopes of reaching the final could be dashed if they are not able to perform better.

Like many predictions that have been posted here, Real Madrid are the favorites to advance to the final because Real Madrid have succeeded in beating their strongest opponents and that will increase their confidence in beating Bayern Munich again in the semifinal match. Harry Kane and Bellingham will show their best qualities to the public to bring their team through to the final this season.
