For any club to have reached this stage, you cannot underestimate their efforts, including the Dortmund. But all we can rely on is the history we have of the performance of these clubs. And from the efforts of both teams, it's more likely to predict a win for PSG against Dortmund than otherwise. Nevertheless, you cannot be so surprised if Dortmund scales through this struggle. So, PSG must hold their centre strong and pursue this semifinals with all energy and not to allow their ego to play the game for them or they may lose to the Dortmund
I agree with you actually any club that have been able to get to this stage of the champions league isn't such that you will undersetemate at this time because it takes a whole lot of resilience and determination with a good form and strength to have gotten to this point of the champions league this season considering all the competition that have been seen in the champions league this season so far.

I doubt if the champions league is going to be any easier at this point so any team seen at This point i feel are actually capable of anything at this time. Dortmund and PSG and to teams that can't be under estimated for any reason and so i thiny like you said it's very possible for either of both teams to be able to scale through at this point because they are both in a fair position and have relatively good strength they can actually decide to use their home advantage when it arises against each other and hope to be able to probably win and then the best team gets to the finals of the game.

I doubt if either of these two teams is going to make it easier for the other because both teams are definitely going to try their best to making sure they are able to get all the best from this game and probably get to win the trophy at the finals but then whosever gets to win the first round gets to have more. Chances and privilege to be able to stay ahead and probably a chance to get to the finals of the champions league.

PSG is certain to advance easily to the UCL final, I don't underestimate Dortmund but in reality Dortmund are currently often inconsistent. In contrast to PSG, which has big dreams in the UCL league competition, especially under the guidance of coach Enrique, PSG has become a compact and solid team.
The UEFA Champions League title is only among two promising clubs, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, but when it comes to their opponents, they're not regard small because they developed  important winnings. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique is doing a great job for Les Parisiens this season. In his first season incharge of Paris Saint-Germain, he already giving us signs about his competent actions, he's taking Paris Saint-Germain to the final right away. A tough fight for both elite teams.

PSG is sure a worthy finalist for the UCL and I would place my bet unwaveringly for them to win against Dortmund during their clash.
However, I doubt PSG would be able to win a team like Manchester city if they meet in the finals because the Londoners are quite good and consistent in all competitions they have played this season and well, it would be easier for a team that won the UCL  last season, to replicate same performance and win it back to back like Madrid did sometime back.

I do agree that we are going to end up with Real Madrid winning in any normal case, and that is what people are expecting for sure, a team that managed to beat City should be able to easily beat Bayern Munich and any other team they face at Finals as well.

However, this is football and you never know what you are going to get, it is almost always a bit of a shock when you face a team and I think it is quite clear that we may not get what we want at all times. We could always end up with a result that is shocking. Like for example Bayern getting a huge win, like 3-0 for example, yes when you hear about it that feels like that is an unlikely situation, but the reality is that we could get a win like that, football is filled with unexpected results.

A lot of shocking results have happened in the game of football and eve this season, we have seen some shocking results in the European competitions where smaller and weaker teams beat the bigger ones and remove them from the competition. It would still be surprising if it happens because there’s no certainty that such an event cannot happen when they meet. On the physical now from the outside, it is clear that Real Madrid are the better opponents to win and make the qualification. We can also get a shocking result from Bayern Munich, so Real Madrid have to be at their best and don’t underestimate the quality of Bayern Munich team too.

I also have that feelings that PSG a.d Real Madrid will be the two clubs that will play the final match. This is because both of them are stronger than their opponents in the semifinals. I might be underestimating Dortmund strength currently, but I don't think that their force is strong enough to terminate PDG from reaching the finals.

Real Madrid will not take their own match easy with Bayern Munich, and I don't see Munich surviving the semifinals but they cannot prove my wrong. Only Kane cannot do anything for Munich, and that might be a problem for them. Madrid have good strikers that are goal mongers which make them to be the favorite in this match.
I also think like you. This season's Champions League final will bring together representatives from League 1, namely PSG, vs representatives from Spain, namely Real Madrid, and I am sure that the one who will emerge as champions of the 2024 Champions League will be the La Liga giant, namely Real Madrid.

The reason is that of the four teams that qualified for the semifinals, only Real Madrid has an almost perfect squad and has a winning mentality. Just look at when you beat Man City in the previous match, in that match it was not only strategy that was needed but also a winning mentality and there was no need to give up before the match was over.

It's just that Real Madrid, since the BBC era and Ramos leaving Real Madrid, have almost never scored a goal with a header. In fact, in the BBC era, Madrid was most dangerous if they received a corner kick. However, this will not be an obstacle when facing Bayer Munich later, especially now that Bayern Munich is not as strong as in previous seasons, which had a strong defense.

PSG is certain to advance easily to the UCL final, I don't underestimate Dortmund but in reality Dortmund are currently often inconsistent. In contrast to PSG, which has big dreams in the UCL league competition, especially under the guidance of coach Enrique, PSG has become a compact and solid team.

Defeating  Bayern Munich in the Champions is not always easy because they know how to play the Champions League football.

This time, their semifinal match is against the best team in the world and the best team in the Champions League history, I believe Real
Madrid is the favorite to qualify because of their reputation and the records they set in the Champions League. But football can be very funny at times, you can have everything and still lose to an average team. Therefore, Madrid also need to be careful and they need to play well because Bayern have a great striker that can change the game with some shot period of time.

I think PSG can win against Dortmund because if you look at the strength of both PSG is much more superior but this is a UCL semi-final match of course Dortmund has worked hard to reach this point and they don't want to just lose, I'm sure they will play as hard as possible to beat PSG Even though PSG may be far superior in strength to Dortmund, apart from the other semi-finals, Madrid and Munich seem to be the favorites for everyone because both of them are the strongest teams in the UCL so far.


It is always a tough match when a team work harder to get some certain position and another team who are stronger than them come to take the position in a single match, as if PSG I don’t think they will be the one to win the game because Dortmund as work very hard to get this position now. Even though I know you are right by saying they will try their possible best to win PSG. Yes, this is true, because for them to lose at the semifinals of us going to be a bad record for them. And they won’t that to happen. So let see if Dortmund are going to surprise since the game is very important for them to win.

As for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, I think this season is just two of them that one of them will be the winner of the title this season. Because we all see how their performance is, and they both doing well in their matches, even Real Madrid seems to be stronger in my opinion, I think they are the favorites teams this season.

But if you look at the statistics, Madrid is much more favored than Munich. The possibility of Madrid qualifying for the final and playing against PSG. If Mbappe plays more seriously, of course they can take the UCL this season from Madrid's hands. I hope PSG can show their abilities in the UCL this time and not only playing well in the domestic league, we know that they have dominated Ligue 1 for quite a long time and none of their competitors have really broken it, Mbappe must be able to bring PSG to win the title this season, I think PSG is more worthy than Dortmund to win the title. CL title this season because he deserves it.
Of course when you look at both teams, you’ll know that psg will be able to defeat Dortmund because tactically they seem to be better than Dortmund. Also during the group stage psg was able to get the better off Dortmund and at that, the chances of it repeating itself is pretty high. PSG will be going all out to at least give their fans another European final amd they sincerely have a shot at the trophy with the tactics of Enrique. Though Dortmund aren’t going to be an easy opponent as they have been able to get to this stage despite some tough challenges on their way here but them focusing on this and their league’s top 4 battle won’t be easy.

 ⁠As compared to PSG who are already league winners and just have this semi final clash to focus on, so of a truth PSG will sure be able to defeat Dortmund and head to the finals. Real Madrid will sure be able to defeat Bayern because they’re the better team between the two of them.

 No disrespect to Munich but this season they haven’t been that fierce team that we usually know and even though they have been able to get to this stage, their run to this stage has been pretty shaky and not convincing enough. A final of PSG and Real Madrid is what is likely to happen and we hope psg will be able to at least prove a point in the final though we know it’s pretty difficult but I think that’s a stepping stone for next season.

Kane can't do anything for Bayern? Its a big mistake if you say you can't do anything for Bayern even though this season Bayern must be willing to lose their trophy but Kane struggle in Bayern attack line for domestic competition is extraordinary . In addition many people think it looks like its only as if Kane can't play well when if you look at the whole at this time of course we must be aware of the reason Bayern failed in the domestic competition because of what and it's not Kane's fault because if he was guilty then there was no way he was currently the top score .

At the moment the semi-final match is still the same where it is 50:50 for both clubs so i think it makes sense that Madrid will not made their euphoria destroyed just because they underestimate Bayern in this semi-final because Bayern is one of the clubs that is still difficult to beat.

Dortmund are not a weak team that wouldn’t be able to do anything in their semifinal clash but statistically and physically or professionally wise, PSG stands a better chance and a more superior side than they are. I know they’ll try their best as they’ve been doing from onset that got them to this stage but I think the forces of PSG are one that cannot be stopped by them. PSG are the teams I see making it to the finals and not Dortmund this time around.

Real Madrid are the kings of the champions league and to have eliminated Manchester City which is the only team that will stand in their way not to win the cup, they’re now the favourites for the club. Gone are those days when Bayern Munich was a very strong teams and feared in the Champions League games but now they are not as strong as before, it won’t be a surprise if they’re eliminated at this stage. They’ve really tried their best to make it to this stage but I don’t think they can stop Real Madrid now.

As Arsenal has been removed by Bayern Munich, I have decided to extend my support Real Madrid. I want to see Bayern Munich fail badly in the semi final so the can proceed to the final. If not that Bayern Munich removed Arsenal, by now they would be the ones that will be facing Real Madrid and even though that I know that it will be difficult to beat Real Madrid, it will be worth facing them than been removed by Bayern Munich and still brag about it.

If PSG make it to the final, I hope they remain focus and ready else if PSG win them, I think what Mbape treasure the most which is the Champions League wouldn't matter to him again and I think Real Madrid moves wouldn't be possible again because we all would agreed that he is going there solely because of the Champions League potential.

Now Liverpool are out of contention for the PL title I will take more interest in the CL semi finals. I’m really looking forward to the Real vs Bayern double header, two European heavyweights going at it.

The other semi final, I think PSG will win comfortably over two legs. I would love Dortmund to win the CL though.
Since my favorite team has be locked out from the quarter-final, Real Madrid will be my favorite team in this semi-final because they prove to people that they prepared well to fight the battle till the end of the tournament to lift the trophy because they will surely beat Bayern Munich 2:1.

Bayern Munich locked out Arsenal in the quarter-final, to make their fans begin to praise their coach for making it happen again in his tenure because the game started like what will favor Arsenal but it was a shocked when Bayern Munich player scored the winning goal, because they are very ready to be among the team that will play Real Madrid in the final.

I don't think PSG will beat Dortmund because they are not well organized in this season, and they managed to beat Barcelona in the quarter-final that made Barcelona player to received red card before they achieved victory from the game.
I also have that feelings that PSG a.d Real Madrid will be the two clubs that will play the final match. This is because both of them are stronger than their opponents in the semifinals. I might be underestimating Dortmund strength currently, but I don't think that their force is strong enough to terminate PDG from reaching the finals.

Only Kane cannot do anything for Munich, and that might be a problem for them. Madrid have good strikers that are goal mongers which make them to be the favorite in this match.

To be honest I was expecting to see Arsenal playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League because compared to Arsenal, Bayern Munich was not a strong team, and since they lost the Bundesliga title they didn't have a good atmosphere in this team.
Now Bayern Munich should be ready for a harder match against Real Madrid. While Real Madrid should try to keep the player in good form.
The sad news about Real Madrid is about two players in this team, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo. It seems both players were sick and they were absent in the team training, however, Real Madrid hopes to see both players get back in good form.

Of course, on paper Real Madrid is the team that is very favored to win the Champions League trophy this season, because Real Madrid really has very good quality in the Champions League, because Real Madrid also has a winning mentality which ofcourse there is no need to doubt. But for now, I hope Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid somehow because ofcourse, it would be very interesting if Real Madrid failed at this moment and that would make the Champions League final match more competitive. But yes, if Real Madrid still manages to qualify for the final match, then this will certainly be a definite result for Real Madrid to get the Champions League trophy this season.

Yes, Real Madrid is the strongest team out of the four teams that remain in the Champions League. In fact, with their current form, I don't think any team will be a trouble to them. The only team I am currently thinking that can give Real Madrid a tough time is Bayern Munich, based on their Champions League experience, but currently, they are not in good shape. So if Real Madrid reaches the final, they will definitely win the trophy.. It is hard for Real Madrid to reach the final of the Champions League without winning the trophy, so I fully agree with you that Real Madrid is the favorite team to win this season's Champions League trophy.

In true football, it's not as easy as we assume, we can only speculate and predict, especially since this match is a semifinal match. for me, it doesn't mean that because Madrid was able to overthrow City, they will easily overthrow Bayern Munich. after all, when Madrid played City, the match was dominated by Pep Guardiola's team. As for another point, we agree that football is unique and perhaps in the semifinals there will always be surprises. yeah, we'll find out after this match actually takes place.

IMO, for me the Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid fight will provide an interesting attraction for us to watch, or involve betting. yeah, we are well aware that there are many who agree that Real Madrid is superior to Bayern Munich. However, if we refer to the odds provided by bookmakers, the odds are quite attractive. for now, the bookie gives Bayern Munich odds @2.44, while Madrid is @2.80. Isn't it unique, even though these are actually only temporary odds, but at least with what the bookie provides, it means that Bayern Munich has a chance to overthrow Real Madrid. So, to find out more for sure, let's just wait for the battle between these two teams to take place.

Actually, this is not just about feeling. But based on statistics, Real Madrid should be above Bayern Munich. Yes, Rea Madrid is also believed to be the conqueror of the top clubs in the UCL cup. And that often happens. Ancelotti will not let the trophy he has in front of him just give up. certainly not. Ancelotti is very experienced. For this reason, he definitely has a variety of tactics and strategies that can definitely be said to be very suitable, even though it is quite surprising with the composition of players and new positions. I'm also exactly sure that Real Madrid will be the winner to UCL.

PSG are better than Dortmund, so fa and he will find it tough to defeat PSG in the Champions League, but anything is possible; let us see what happens next week, and see if Dortmund can win the first leg at home and defend against PSG in the second leg. Because if they win the first leg, they will be able to defend the second leg very effectively because I trust Dortmund to do so, if Barcelona is red carded, I dont think they will be able to remove Xavi in the Champions League.
Maybe in general, PSG is better than Dortmund. However, PSG also has to be careful. Because yesterday in the group phase, it turned out that Dortmund were the leaders in the group, not PSG. PSG is actually in second place. So this is quite tricky and also difficult to predict. However, I am also sure that Mbappe will try to be stronger and more optimal, because this is his dream of winning the UCL trophy.

Well situations that we initially thought were impossible can become possible in football. As you said, football is always full of surprises. And this is normal in football. In terms of performance, maybe I would also predict that Real Madrid could beat Bayern. but still we will never know for sure unless the match has a result. Bayern is also in pretty good shape. And Harry Kane there is also excited to be able to go further with Bayern in the UCL after they failed in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Real Madrid can currently play more calmly in the UCL because Real Madrid already has an advantage in Laliga by being ranked first with a fairly large point difference even though it is not yet in a safe position.

For the PSG vs Dortmund match, I think this is also difficult to predict. I sometimes feel that PSG will be favored because their player composition is superior. But on the one hand, Dortmund is also a strong team that could even hold off Leverkusen in yesterday's match in the Bundesliga. Which makes me not want to underestimate Dortmund.

Yes, you are right, even though Dortmund is one of the experienced clubs in the Champions League, currently PSG has better quality players and is able to dominate the match when it starts and Mbappe is still one of the players who is very reliable and must really maintain his performance to be ready. compete in the semi-finals.
It will be very interesting to wait for PSG's match against Dortmund and everyone is waiting and hoping that PSG can qualify for the final against Real Madrid.

In my opinion, I don't think Dortmund have enough experience in the Champions League more than psg. This season, Dortmund are struggling to win matches in the league and struggling to finish in the fourth position, and Leipzig are in the fourth position, giving Dortmund a two-point lead in the table, but I know Dortmund have improved currently since they are still in the Champions League because they impress me when they play against Athletico Madrid in the Champions League and am very sure they will do all there best and qualify next season again.

PSG are better than Dortmund, so fa and he will find it tough to defeat PSG in the Champions League, but anything is possible; let us see what happens next week, and see if Dortmund can win the first leg at home and defend against PSG in the second leg. Because if they win the first leg, they will be able to defend the second leg very effectively because I trust Dortmund to do so, if Barcelona is red carded, I dont think they will be able to remove Xavi in the Champions League.

As someone who understands the game quite well, I am not the kind of guy who says "the team that won was the better team as winning is the only thing that counts". I don't know if you ever managed a team or a sportsman, but performance does matter. Of course in knockout games the result ultimately counts, but someone who understands the game looks at how a team played and then also understands whether a win was deserved or not. We would probably not be discussing anything here if De Bruyne used the chances he had towards the end of the game.

I am not sure, but maybe you are the kind of fan who likes to see a team win that got one shot the whole game while the other team played high qualitay football, but had one of those days where they couldn't hit the back of the net. Real Madrid defended world class, I'll say that. But that doesn't change the fact that when I hear the name Real Madrid, I am associating a different type of football with it. Not parking the bus and praying for 95 minutes.

So that is the unwritten law of football if you don't score and don't take profit from your chances then you are going to concede or get eliminated like in the case of Manchester City,however I don't underestimate a master like Ancelotti,I think he prepared the game that way as the only way that he saw as a chance to qualify,he needed to get to the penalties and hope for the best,it just happen to get his way,so the architect of Real qualification for me is their coach.For Manchester City they had a lot of chances which could not convert and as I said if you don't convert you will concede.Now Real Madrid has high chances to qualify further and even a big chance to be crowned Champions once again and to further increase their number of titles as the team who has won it more than any other team.

Oh man how does this make sense? How did Ancelotti plan that Kevin De Bruyne fires that shot over the cross bar around the 80th minute or so? The coaches have some influence, but Ancelotti has nothing to do with De Bruyne wasting a perfect chance. If De Bruyne scores, you wouldn't be talking about Ancelotti and how he is the architect of that success. If that game is repeated ten times, I am fully convinced that Real Madrid would never make it to the penalties more than three times. It is still a question of minor things and probabilities and this time they got lucky and could save themselves into the penalty shootout, but it wouldn't be like that if you repeat the game several times.

I do agree that we are going to end up with Real Madrid winning in any normal case, and that is what people are expecting for sure, a team that managed to beat City should be able to easily beat Bayern Munich and any other team they face at Finals as well.

However, this is football and you never know what you are going to get, it is almost always a bit of a shock when you face a team and I think it is quite clear that we may not get what we want at all times. We could always end up with a result that is shocking. Like for example Bayern getting a huge win, like 3-0 for example, yes when you hear about it that feels like that is an unlikely situation, but the reality is that we could get a win like that, football is filled with unexpected results.

Of course, on paper Real Madrid is the team that is very favored to win the Champions League trophy this season, because Real Madrid really has very good quality in the Champions League, because Real Madrid also has a winning mentality which ofcourse there is no need to doubt. But for now, I hope Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid somehow because ofcourse, it would be very interesting if Real Madrid failed at this moment and that would make the Champions League final match more competitive. But yes, if Real Madrid still manages to qualify for the final match, then this will certainly be a definite result for Real Madrid to get the Champions League trophy this season.
