Real Madrid - Bayern Munich is like a final game on paper. However I can't say that Bayern Munich are in their best condition. They have just lost the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen. Morales must be quite down but they will need to look ahead. The Champions League is all what's left for them this season.

While Tuchel is leaving the team for certain I don't know how motivated the players will be. They had serious issues at eliminating Arsenal. Now we are talking about a Real Madrid which just eliminated Guardiola's Manchester City.

My opinion is that Real Madrid will advance to the finale thanks to Ancelotti's strategies again.  

It said that Real Madrid have winning culture which means winning a trophy is their standard of success. This has become their standard for the mentality of the players. Real Madrid have reached 12 semi-finals in the last 14 seasons, and they have played in 15 Champions League finals, only lost one to Liverpool. This is why they will always be the favorite every season. I believe they will win the Champions League trophy, if they reach the final, because their winning rate in the finals is remarkable.

Real Madrid is more favorable than Bayern considering their form throughout this season. Madrid is so stable with the performance and beat stronger teams in their journey, while Bayern have a bit inconsistency. The two managers have also big gap in reputations, it would be weird to place bet on Tuchel over Ancelotti. However, No one knows the future, anything can happen, including in football.

90,000 capacity with 2x or 3x the amount of money they charged in regular matches would bring back the amount the Champions League cup is worth or it might even be expensive than the amount I quote, if PSG becomes the two the that lead it, there is going it be probably more demand from France people since they want their favorite club to own one piece of the Champions League atleast.


I don't want to see what happened in the Afcon this season happen in the Champions League. I think the schedule would probably might have change if Manchester City really made it because what I learned from Afcon, Cote dvoire didn't sell tickets to visiting teams, their home countries were more than 90% in the standium and that affected the way the game continues, nobody could even cheer up the away teams, it's a good thing the host stadium aren't here.

Who thought Real Madrid will win against Manchester City this year, taking the historical records at Etihad Stadium where they never managed to win until this year, my point is we can’t relay on previous matches and records to determine the future result. The same as Bundesliga after Bayern Munich winning 11 times in a row, until this season where Bayern Leverkusen could take it from the with Xavi also’s lead.
We are expecting a very entertaining matches in these Semi Finals matches, however the most close teams to be in Finals are Real Madrid and PSG when we compare their performance against other teams and how they managed to qualify.

He will not be able to lead Real Madrid to a two-goal lead without scoring. In my opinion, Real Madrid will defeat Bayern Munich in the Champions League because Madrid is better than them this season and it will be difficult for Munich to defeat Madrid in the semi-finals. Ancelotti will not miss the opportunity to win the Champions League for Madrid, so the rest of the essential players will perform well in the competition. Bayern Munich does not have superior players than Madrid this season; they have different experienced players in the team, and it will be extremely tough if Madrid does not win Bayern Munich's home and away games in the semi-finals. I am thinking madrid and psg will play the Champions league finals this season, expect something occur that will shock people. but if is in reality Munich and Dortmund are not better then madrid and psg this season, let see what will happen in the first leg of the competition and see who will get the chance and win.

Real Madrid is a team that plays with great ambition in every competition. They are the kings of the Champions League title where no team in the world can match their title tally so far, so Real Madrid is the favorite. But I agree, we never know whether they will actually qualify for the final this season when Bayern Munich also wants to be in the same place, I mean Bayern Munich also has good strength and mentality from the squad and also the coach.

Both teams have the same chance of qualifying for the final, only Real Madrid has an advantage because of its record. I expect something interesting in the semi-finals, but whoever gets through this stage is the team that is likely to be expected to win the title.

Of course Real Madrid has a chance to win both the league and the UCL at the same time, as we all know champions league is something that is great for them, they are amazing and they did amazingly so far there and won so many of them at all times. I think that has to be the most important thing they care about. Like the founding idea of Real Madrid doesn't feel like they are doing anything crazy, they are doing something at la liga and win that too but they feel like they don't really "care" about la liga, they care about champions league a lot more by the looks of it.

I think that's why they may end up with getting the cup again this season, and that would be lke 6-7 UCL titles in the last decade, that's unreal when you think about it because even with a ton of money most teams can't get even a single one. Look at PSG, they are spending a lot more, and can't get even one.

Gone are the days that Bayern Munich where a very feared team in the Champions League, but over some few years now, their performance have reduced in the league drastically and haven’t been able to reach the finals of the competition for quite number of times. They even failed to win the Bundesliga this season which entails how weak their performance have been. They are not the favourite for the champions league semifinals with Real Madrid but anything can happen so we can’t confidently give up on any possibility of it not happening.


Dortmund really played a great game and surprised everyone before making it to this stage, if they can repeat the same in their match against PSG, they’ll give the match a good atmosphere to watch. All teams cannot be underestimated at this point but PSG seems to be the bigger, stronger and most experienced team in this encounter.

If there one thing I have learnt about everyone expecting a team to win a trophy is that the team doesn't actually end up winning it and I think the same case might happen with real Madrid because as it's stands now the whole wide world is expecting no team than Real Madrid to actually win this trophy and when everything plays we might be surprised to see that another lesser team might become champions

The other team can't have more chance than Real Madrid and as you just said Real Madrid is now the favorite after they beat Manchester City.
Bayern Munich should play against Real Madrid and this won't be easy at all for Tuchel and his players especially when we know Bayern Munich is in a bad situation since they are even about to stop working with their coach Thomas Tuchel. This can create a negative atmosphere in Bayern Munich and this can affect the performance of Bayern Munich against Real Madrid.
With the current situation of both teams, I think betting on Real Madrid for this match seems safe and the only thing that can help Bayern Munich to get survive against Real Madrid is a miracle.

Wembley is one of the best stadiums in the world. It has a huge capacity and I think it is architecturally beautiful. It would be great to have the Champions League final played in a city like London.
Of course, it's a bit sad that there are no British teams left in the finals right now. They would have a huge advantage if they could play the final at home. Let's see which teams we will see in the final now

Real Madrid has good away match record this season in the last two matches against Bundesliga team, in the phase round Madrid won against Union Berlin and success defeating RB Leipzig on 16 of round. I think its very good capital for Madrid know well with Bundesliga team games play including against Bayern Munich in the semifinal round on first leg match. Get advantage with playing away match early because Madrid will take advantage on second leg as home match.

No doubt with  Bayern Munich has good record as home match in Champion League but not sure will continue the winning trend against Real Madrid as most favorite teams for winning Champion League after success defeating Manchester City in quarter final round.

Didn’t you think that 11 years ago Dortmund and Bayern played each other in the Champions League final, which also took place at Wembley? Now such an ending is also possible.
There would be some symbolism in such a season finale. Although it does not always work - for example, I expected Liverpool to win the Europa League this year (as the only competition that Klopp could not win with Liverpool), but Atalanta broke this possibility.

The match between Real Madrid and Man City was seen as a heavy weight UCL match because both teams are similar in strength and they’re the most recent winners of the UCL. So you can say Real Madrid having defeated Man City have been able to give a resounding note that they should be considered the main contenders of the UCL this season.

 Man City really dominated the game but Real Madrid were able to contain them with their tock solid defense and goal keeper who was able to stop some sneaky shots. They took the match to penalty shootouts and were able to get the win and went to the semi finals.

 Now they are to face Bayern Munich who have a long history with Real Madrid but this season can’t be compared to Man City in any way and as such you’ll automatically see Real Madrid going through to the finals. Without Bayern Munich’s injury crisis they have been performing below average talk more of now they are hit with lots of injury woes in their main team.

 ⁠Real Madrid will be able to see off this Bayern Munich side though I think Bayern will be ready to give their all, the issue will be will their all be enough against this well shaped Real Madrid side who are on course to win the 15th UCL. Well this will be the main match of focus as we will love to see what Bayern has in stock for us, a sure prediction is Real Madrid to the finals.

Although indeed, to get a safe position in the secondleg, then Bayern Munich must be able to win with a big score in the first leg. But, if for example Bayern Munich did not manageto win with a big score, then I think it might not matter to much. Because at least, in the secondleg Bayern Munich can still maximize their defense, and thus can make Real Madrid get a deadlock. But indeed, at least at this moment Bayern Munich have Kane a very great player in making goals for Bayern Munich this season. Therefore, it is certainly a greathope that Kane can really succeed in making a goal in thematch against Real Madrid later.

Bayern Munich was unable to win Arsenal 2-0 in Allianz Arena, instead they managed to win 1-0 which was what made them qualify to the semifinals. How do you think that they will be able to win Real Madrid 2-0 in Allianz Arena this time, that they are playing with a club far better than Arsenal in everything. If Bayern Munich draw this match at home, it means that they are lucky.

Real Madrid will always win at home, and don't also be surprised that they will also win Bayern Munich away from home, because Madrid does not have home or away when they are playing with any club. What Bayern Munich needs is prayers to see how things can be in their favor to enable them qualify for the finals which might not be possible.

What do you mean by that? What's annoying about the tactical approach of the game? Isn't defending part of the game now? I don't like the way too many people viewed that game.
I was amongst those that said, Real Madrid has been too defensive. But, after that game, I had a quick glance at what Sir Alex Ferguson said that, defending is also part of the game and that's what win you trophies.

You have the do what you have to do to win that game at all cost and Real Madrid had the perfect plan for the game. Whoever played the chess of that game and also plotted the graph did quite well.

We Gon see definitely what this season holds for Real Madrid. I don't know if I want them to win, but I never wanted Manchester City, they talked too much truthfully after the treble last season.

You can see their seriousness from the beginning of this UEFA champions league competition, and they have be beating some teams and even locked out Arsenal to test what their coach has impacted to them which is really working for them to reach semi-final, every other teams wish to reach but it is only few teams that qualified to semi-final game.

Bayern Munich coach, want to use this UEFA champions league to prove to people that thought that he is not a potential coach  to prove them wrong by lifting this trophy to make their fans feel he is the best coach for the team in this season.

I guess Bayern Munich will surprise Real Madrid in this game, despite Real Madrid are leading in the la Liga league table but they will not allow them to beat them in this semi-final than to use the same skills they used to deleted Arsenal to beat Real Madrid 1:0 for the favor of Bayern Munich.

I can categorically guess that Real Madrid will win Bayern Munich, because I feel Bayern don't stand a chance, however this is football anything can happen but i give Madrid the benefit of doubt.

Dortmund Vs PSG is the game I'm looking out for because it's very unpredictable, I will place the both club on the same level on a scale ⚖️.
I saw how Dortmund played against atletico Madrid, they were so fierce and coordinated with their attack so I believe they are a strong opposition against PSG.
Champions League at this point has a different spirit, so we shouldn't be surprised if you see unpredictable results at this point in time because the four teams have their eyes on the title already so they will be playing with a different kind of mindset.

Manchester City could have played in their home country if they had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. But Real Madrid have a good chance of playing their final match this season, Ancelotti's side saw off Manchester City, their style of attack was different which allowed them to reach the semi-finals. It will be more interesting if Real Madrid go to the Champions League for 15 times this season, to be honest, Real Madrid has a good chance of winning this season. However, Bayern Munich will face Real Madrid in the semi-final match, although I think Real Madrid is the most likely to win, as Bayran is currently feeling very weak. And this season we can have a hope that no one can exclude Real Madrid from the final match, or maybe they will win this season's Champions League title.
