Yes, of course we all have the same predictions and that doesn't mean we underestimate Bayern Munich, but currently Bayern Munich's performance doesn't look good, it doesn't look very enthusiastic even though they have great players like Harry Kane, but it won't be enough to beat Real Madrid just by relying on Harry Kane.
It is difficult to see Bayern Munich making it to the final unless luck comes to Tuchel's side.

Bayern Munich also has good experience in the Champions League, but no matter how good Bayern Munich's experience is, if they can't maintain consistency from the start, they will definitely be inconsistent in the next match and look very weak and won't have the ability to beat Real Madrid.
This season will be the worst season of all seasons after Tuchel perhaps failed to give Bayern Munich the best reward because they lost Bundesliga dominance and also had to lose the Champions League title.
Whatever I say will not provide any guarantees, but we'll see what will happen because I really believe that Bayern Munich will fail.

Bayern Munich's statistics with Tuchel are almost exactly the same as the previous season, especially regarding their goal productivity and defensive strength. Bayern Munich conceded 44 goals in 34 matches last season, while they scored 92 goals. This season Bayern Munich have scored 89 goals in 31 matches, while they have conceded 38 goals. It's just that Bayern Munich suffered more defeats this season (6) compared to 5 defeats last season. This made Bayern Munich fail to win the title in the Bundesliga.

Regarding the possibility of the Champions League, I think Bayern Munich's goal productivity this season is worth considering as a threat to Real Madrid. Harry Kane has scored 7 goals and 3 assists in 10 games in the Champions League this season, but he has scored 35 goals and 8 assists in 31 appearances in the Bundesliga. Kane is the player to watch out for the most, but Bayern Munich is not just about Kane.

Unpredictable with Bayern Munich performance under Thomas Tuchel era, since last season how difficult for Bayern Munich win Bundesliga tittle at last game week and this season eleven season dominance domestic league gone with Tuchel tactician very poor and make Bayern loss their Bundesliga tittle. I doubt with Bayern Munich win against most favorite team in champion league against  Real Madrid exactly after making Manchester City eliminated from quarter final.
Its hard to believe with Bayern Munich opportunity can beat Real Madrid in the semifinal round, most of failure with Bayern Munich performance in this season although success raise to semifinal round but I doubt for Bayern Munich tactician can beat Real Madrid with solid defensive game play.

If I refer to the betting market for these two teams, the bookies do not provide odds with a significant difference for the time being. Bayern with odds @2.42, while Madrid with odds @2.80. even though this option is only temporary, at least it gives the impression that these two teams have a chance to overthrow each other. Talking about Real Madrid, in fact no one disagrees that after they overthrew City, their chances of winning this competition are even greater. however, in football it is unique. Therefore, this does not mean that Thomas Tuchel will not do something for his team when they host Madrid at the Allianz Arena, home of The Bavaria. Tuchel will use all his energy for this semifinal battle, because there is no more trophy they are chasing or targeting apart from the Champions League.

Referring to what you said, we agree, if Bayern wants to win this match. There are no other words, they have to beat Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena with as much margin as they can. At the very least, Bayern must win the match in the first leg to be able to advance further in the second leg. If Bayern loses in the first leg, it is very likely that Thomas Tuchel's team will have difficulty playing the match at the Santiago Bernabeu. In the next match, Kane must prove his capacity as an established striker who can be relied on by Thomas Tuchel. If Bayern plays with the entire core squad, I'm sure this match will present an exciting battle and we will even have the same choices regarding the teams in this first leg.

I hope that Tuchel can do well in the semifinal match against Real Madrid because perhaps, in previous matches, Tuchel was still holding back on maximizing the potential of his players to avoid injury. But at this moment, because Bayern Munich has also failed to win the Bundesliga trophy, then Bayern Munich should be able to play more optimally with all the main players and key players it has. With these factors, Bayern Munich should be able to provide tough resistance in the match against Real Madrid later. Because yes, at least I hope that Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid and make Bayern Munich qualify for the Champions League final this season, even though it is difficult, but in football any result can still happen.

Ancelottis "experience" is playing direct football, and when you have amazing players that is not really that hard to do it, which he had in all four of his UCL titles to be fair. I am definitely not saying he wasn't successful or anything, you have to be a mad man to say that he isn't a great manager, but it is not his tactics that made him great, anyone could make their team play the same tactic, but nobody has the same amount of "get the best out of a player" like Ancelotti does, give this team to another manager, same team, and make them play EXACTLY the same tactic, but you won't get this success.

Ancelottis real secret is not formation or style or anything, it is his communication and "friendship" with players, that makes the players give 110% every game, even if it is unimportant game.

They lack a good number nine though this season, but hd that been a limitation to hoe they play and win games? No! Having won it for fourteen good times and still in the semi's it's almost like rest assured but this is football I hope they don't lose it saw way Jose Mourinho did years back. One good record about this game is that the Don Carlo Ancellotti has never lost to Bayern Munich, having won four games against them and drew twice.

For Paris Saint Germans against Borrussia Dortmund, let's not gamble about it, lets just keep our bets and fingers crossed and enjoy the game.
If I'm to pick a side anyways, it will always be a side handled amd managed by Luis Enrique coz of his experience. Borrussia Dortmund has just been trashed already. I'm sure more will add up from French League 1 Giants.

Bayern Munich made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League although they were never favourites at all, as well as Dortmund who managed to beat Atletico Madrid to reach the semi-finals this season, both teams showed us how the atmosphere in the Champions League is very different from the domestic league, so when a team like Bayern Munich performs poorly in the league of course in the Champions League they will play quite well because the knockout stages applied in the Champions League so far, this season maybe only PSG and Madrid are favourites to reach the Champions League final but I think there will be surprises that might make this season's Champions League finish far from our expectations.

Madrid are an incredible team so it's no wonder they are favourites to win the Champions League this season, but I think facing Bayern Munich will certainly be a challenge for Ancelotti's squad because Munich currently have high motivation to win trophies after their failure in the league, honestly for now I dare not say if Munich will lose easily to Madrid,  Because in my opinion Tuchel has certainly prepared his squad to face the pressure of Madrid in the first leg.

When two of the strongest teams meet in a round other than the final, one of them will lose and the other will occupy the position with the greatest opportunity, and now Real Madrid is in that position. Manchester City was previously the biggest favorite, but Real Madrid was able to break them, and now Real Madrid has taken over Manchester City's position as the team with the greatest chance of becoming champions.
I think we all have the same prediction about who will be champions this season, yes that is Real Madrid. We have clear reasons for predicting that Real Madrid will become champions. I agree with you that Real Madrid is now at a different level than the remaining 3 teams.
But they also shouldn't underestimate anyone, because this is just talking about opportunities, and it could be a different story on the field. they should not be complacent because it is just a prediction about their chances.

I think you are right. But that only happens if Manchester City doesn't meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. All fans predicted that the final match would be Real Madrid vs City but it turned out they met in the quarter-finals. I believe in that match even though City are the favorites but Madrid are the second favorites in the UCL this season. PSG, Dortmund and Munich are great teams and I really respect them for making it through to the semifinals. But I think Madrid are on a different level to them. Only a miracle can make Real Madrid fail to lift the UCL trophy.

All teams that have qualified for the semi-finals of course have the same chance of winning the Champions League, I think for now there is no favorite team to win the Champions League this season because indeed we can say the 4 teams in the semifinals have same strength, indeed in terms of the quality of the Madrid and PSG squads we can say above the other two teams but this will not guarantee they can win the Champions League this season,  Dortmund and Bayern Munich may not consider them favourites, but don't they also have the potential to surprise in the Champions League semi-finals?
Bayern Munich and Dortmund's journey this season to the Champions League semi-finals has not been easy for them but in the end we see they can be in the semi-finals now.

Speaking of Bayern Munich at the moment, of course Tuchel has a lot of responsibilities that he must fulfill to be able to give his best for Bayern Munich at this time, the Champions League is the only opportunity for Tuchel to give the championship trophy to Munich this season and  to open the opportunity he is retained by Bayern Munich next season, for now Tuchel position is on the edge so I think he must be able to give his best at the end of the season Later, although it is very likely that dismissal will be inevitable.

Ancelotti has a wealth of experience and that is an asset for him to bring Real Madrid back to winning the Champions League this season. He actually always applies a very simple strategy, but it actually becomes a weapon for Real Madrid. He prefers a more effective game than dominating the game. We can see from their record, they rarely have much of an advantage in terms of possession of the ball, but he can make his squad play effectively.

Real Madrid players can also properly implement what Ancelotti instructed, so it becomes a good combination between coach and player. It is true that their current squad has a lot of young players, but the young players they have also show things that can bring Real Madrid back to success in the Champions League this season. A 15th title will be theirs if they succeed this season, will they succeed again? We will see later.

Ancelotti's experience combined with the opportunities that Real Madrid have is a very good combination that gives an excellent result. Bayern is also a good team, but this time there is one factor, it is Tuchel, who sometimes, more often in important matches, does not make the best decisions with the starting lineup and substitutions, so this also speaks in favor of Real Madrid.

Agree, the Champions League is very wide open for Bayern Munich and also PSG or Dortmund, not only Madrid has the opportunity to get the trophy. We just need to wait for the results of this semi final and which of the teams makes it through to the final will definitely be a bit of a surprise. Bayern Munich still has the strength to give Madrid resistance, they cannot be underestimated in their race for the trophy. Tuchel is also betting that because he failed to take Bayern Munich to the final, he will soon be fired. For this reason the only alternative that Tuchel can take as coach of Bayern Munich is to fight for the UCL title.

The match between Real Madrid and Man City was one that had so many momentum as it was seen as a heavyweight match, a match before the finals of the UCL. Real Madrid have still not been able to defeat Man City at the Etihad because that match ended in penalty shootouts so the tie is still more on City.

 Still you can’t take away the fact that Real Madrid were able to play very well so as to be able to dump Man City out of the ucl. Though Man City were so dominating in that match that they showed us more reasons why they’re regarded as defending champions, still Real Madrid showed us much of their experience on the pitch of play.

 Real Madrid have now been able to fix a semi final match with Bayern and of course this is going to be one very thrilling encounter especially as both teams have some sought of history. The history between both teams will be one that will set the stage for an encounter between both of them and as such we will expect a very thrilling encounter when the 2 clubs meet.

 Another match to focus on is the other semi final between Dortmund and psg especially as both teams are performing on same level with each other so it’s safe to say this is another match. Well the UCL is really an enticing one and we look forward to the two semifinal matches.
 

We should start taking Dortmund into account in this competition and in my opinion, Dortmund's journey is not easy. They could be eliminated at any time and no one thinks they can make it to the semifinals and I think what coach Edin Terzic has done is very correct in handling his opponents so that he can take Dortmund to a higher stage.

On the other hand, in his first season with PSG, Luis Enrique certainly had his own challenges in the competition and he also deserves appreciation for handling PSG's good squad since the start of the season. I think this will be a battle of strategies between coaches and of course Luis Enrique knows this competition better than Edin Terzic so in any case Dortmund will have to fight harder if they want to reach the final round and that will be an extraordinary achievement this season despite the unsatisfactory results in the league domestic.

Of course we won't know who will be the champion this season because the 4 remaining teams are the strongest. Of course, Bayern's match against Madrid will be difficult to predict, especially after watching Real Madrid's match against Real Sociedad in Laliga and I saw that even though Real Madrid won, it only resulted in a narrow score of 0-1 and I saw that Real Sociedad had more control of the ball. and in the Bundesliga we will see Bayern against Eintracht Frankfurt and in my opinion after we see the match end we will predict who in the Bayern vs Madrid match will win the match. For example, Real Madrid qualifies for the final, I don't think there is any guarantee that Madrid will win the match in the final and become champions because of course the opponent is a strong team.

Of course in the Bundesliga it is very difficult for Bayern to beat Leverkusen which of course currently has a difference of 26 goals. Of course Bayern will definitely try their best to win in the Champions League because in the Bundesliga of course there is no hope but we will see later but what is clear is that it will be a tough competition. fierce and I agree with you 50.50 odds for them is a good thing. but I personally think I will bet on Real Madrid winning and hopefully I will make a profit when betting.

even so, Bayern Munich also does not get any guarantees even though they have many star players, but on the other hand, Real Madrid also has experienced star players and does not provide any guarantees.
It's just that currently looking at the consistency of the two teams, Real Madrid is far superior to Real Madrid in terms of domestic league performance, even in the UCL, I see that Madrid is far superior, consistently more stable.
I'm not doubting Bayern Munich here but I'm just a little worried that Munich will just continue to perform poorly while this enters the semi finals and becomes the decider for the UCL title this season.
there are lots of problems being rumored at Bayern Munich at the moment and most of all, supporters doubt Tuchel as a coach.

I also see that Tuchel seems to have tried to improve Munich defense line which has recently been very weak and is conceding more often and this will be a big problem that will put pressure on Tuchel ahead of the semi final match.

Real Madrid were considered as weaker than Manchester City and had less chance to win at Etihad stadium but we saw what happened. Now at semi finals, they are considered as stronger than Bayern Munich but I believe from their own experience, they know that each of two semi final matches will be very important and they must play well in both semi finals.

Bayern Munich will be at a similar position like Real Madrid in quarter finals with Manchester City. They are good and strong enough, ambitious enough to fight and beat Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti is very experienced in Champions League and he knows what to do. He knows that Real Madrid will not automatically become a winner and know well about strength and challenge from Bayern Munich.

With his experience, he will wisely choose proper tactics for Real Madrid in two semi finals and don't hurry to knock Bayern Munich down since beginning of each match.

Look at Leverkusen: tremendous club, shocked everyone by taking down Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso's a brilliant manager, brought those guys to elite levels. This shakes up the league, keeps things exciting. That's what we want, folks.

Now, Champions League, thats a whole different level. Real Madrid, they're looking unstoppable lately. Dominating La Liga, showing their class in Europe – they're the team to beat. But you can never discount PSG or Dortmund, always ready to pull off an upset. Thats the beauty of the Champions League, the best of the best going head-to-head. Win or lose, these are the matches fans live for.
