When it comes to the semi final matchups my favourites are Real Madrid and PSG for the finale. Dortmund are indeed amazing in the Champions League this season. They are playing better here than the Bundesliga. I would really like to see them surprising people by qualifying for the finale.  Roll Eyes  One shouldn't forget that PSG are in this round thanks to Araujo's unnecessary red card.

For the most attracting matchup of the round I don't expect Real Madrid to fail. Ancelotti hasn't lost to Bayern Munich while managing Real Madrid (2 wins in 2 matches  Smiley).

Bayern Munich are fully focused on the CL now. However they have a competitor which eliminated the most favourite already. Ancelotti really knows what he is doing.
PSG in the group phase match has proven to be able to beat Dortmund even though this semifinal match will be different, but PSG has much higher confidence in what happens in the group phase.
In terms of quality, PSG and Dortmund are not much different and if there is a favorite for PSG to qualify for the final round, I think that is very realistic.

And for Real Madrid, of course they are still favorites, especially after what they did in the quarter-finals when they beat Manchester City, but in this semifinal, Bayern also cannot be underestimated even though Bayern's performance is quite declining this season, because despite this, Bayern is one of the Europe's top team that is worth considering.
Not only realistic in seeing PSG in this semi-final match, considering that a lot of people deify PSG and are more positive about getting a victory, it's no wonder when looking at qualifications in the domestic league in different performances, this is very reasonable in my opinion why people are more favored PSG and of course there are also many who bet on PSG getting a victory and qualifying for the final against Real Madrid as many people say here.

Dortmund and Bayer seem to have a little chance if I pay attention to the arguments of some people here even though we will never know what the road will be like in the match that has started on the field, the most important term in football is that the ball is round and each team has its own luck in competing, even unexpectedly Dortmund can enter the semi-finals, this is beyond what many people have imagined and prefer Atletico Madrid before, I want to remind bettors not to close one eye and seem unbalanced judgment in making a decision.

For me, PSG were favorites even before the matches with Barcelona, how events developed there is another matter, but the essence worked and now PSG in the semi-finals.

And I think that they will be able to beat Dortmund, and reach the final. Of course, PSG does not have a clear advantage, it seems to me that when we talk about the final stages of such tournaments, when the strongest teams remain, there are no obvious outsiders. And it’s difficult to say what can happen in these matches, as it was in the match with Barcelona where the red card was decisive, who knows what awaits us in the semi-finals, some kind of penalty, card, or injury can greatly affect the result.

Real Madrid have the confidence of playing with any club regardless of that club experience and good players, and that is what Real Madrid used for Manchester City, they used their confident to play with them with high pressure, although, all Real Madrid players are player wing experience and that are fully ready to play and also their manager is also ready to do anything and get the title this season. With this I’m expecting Real Madrid to get the title.
Believe it or not, Ancelotti is the antithesis to Pep and after successfully eliminating Manchester City in the quarter-finals, we also know that even though the quality of a team is so good with its ball possession game, it can also lose if it is frustrated by a strong defense. Apart from that, the mentality of the Real Madrid players also improved greatly in that match, especially considering last season's humiliating defeat which certainly made the Los Blancos squad not want to suffer a similar result.

Even so, it must be admitted that the football promoted by Pep is very beautiful football and anyone who sees it will be very entertained, but again the main point of every match is victory and that is what Real Madrid is pursuing in order to win the Champions League title again. In the Champions League you will not be able to win just by relying on good play and what is more important is strong mental readiness to win it all.

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.
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.

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.

Haha, don't ever think that winning is easy when the Champions League is in the semi-finals these teams have overcome various challenges and defeated great teams meaning they are the 4 best teams of all teams. Apart from that, we often see surprises in the last few matches so who knows, we might see another surprise in the upcoming match. What is clear is that we cannot underestimate any team when they are in the semi-finals, they could win through unexpected things for example through a penalty shootout or because of a red card.

I agree with you and indeed we cannot underestimate the teams that have entered the semifinals because the strength of these 4 teams is beyond doubt.

and these 4 teams have all already played against strong teams and Manchester City as champions last season in the Champions League have failed to achieve their goals and of course have been defeated by Real Madrid as well as Dortmund, Bayern and PSG has also been successful oppose strong teams

Yes, there could be surprises in the match and there could be an incident where there will be a penalty shootout in the match or a player will receive a red card. and to be honest, I personally find it difficult to predict who deserves to win the Champions League title.

I can't wait to watch the match between the 4 teams which will definitely be more exciting and of course there will definitely be teams that lose and win. and it seems like there will be difficulties when betting, namely determining which team will win.

It is sad to see Liverpool and Klopp were out of control very quickly. Two weeks with some matches and they were out of all competitions that look promising for them just three or four weeks ago.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are one of biggest clubs in Europe and they are also most successful clubs in Champions League too. Their meeting will be between  two clubs with 20 Champions League titles, 14 for Real Madrid and 6 for Bayern Munich.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League

Let's see seasons they won titles.
Quote
Real Madrid
1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022

Bayern Munich
1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013, 2020
Real Madrid look to be better than Bayern Munich a little bit but it will not guarantee that they will beat Bayern Munich and go to final match.

Quote
The other semi final, I think PSG will win comfortably over two legs. I would love Dortmund to win the CL though.
Dortmund have two Champions League final matches in their history in 1997 and 2013 and they won one titles in a match against Juventus in 1997. PSG are not too strong to make Dortmund fearful in two semi final matches and it will be a third final match for Dortmund if they beat PSG again.

I wonder, will the final match be between to German clubs, Dortmund and Bayern Munich?

Munich faces Madrid. it was a very tense match. it will be difficult to determine the winner. Munich will not let Madrid escape easily. but we are always shown the winning mentality of Madrid players when facing important matches.
I actually agree that the two teams will meet for the final match. don't underestimate PSG or Dortmund. I believe the teams that have qualified now are the best. they will bring out all their abilities. Man City is out and this will be a bigger opportunity for Madrid to get a trophy.

Indeed, Manchester City is also a strong team so it is not surprising that Real Madrid had difficulty dealing with it, but in the end Real Madrid was able to overcome it. and indeed that was Real Madrid's toughest challenge in the match. Real Madrid's victory over Manchester City was also something that could make Real Madrid profitable. with them being able to beat Manchester City they have already overcome the UCL. Yesterday's match was very tense, I myself am not on Real Madrid or Manchester City's side but I felt the excitement and tension.

Bayern Munich's decline in performance is indeed a good opportunity for many teams, including Real Madrid, which of course they have to take advantage of this opportunity. PSG is also currently performing well, it might be exciting for PSG to face Real Madrid, with Real Madrid's upcoming match against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid can win. considering that Bayern Munich is currently not doing well.
Real were not stronger than City, they competed until the last second of the match, and I liked the way City played more, they attacked more, and Real paid more attention to defense. But Real in seni-final, and that means they deserve it. Yes, Bayern is now objectively weaker than Real or City, and the fact that they were able to advance to some extent thanks to the draw, let's see how they will play with Real. But I think that Bayern will tru to show all their best.
I hope their best could give them the desired outcome, Real Madrid is not just like any other team, they should consider this upcoming matches a lot relevant than who they wish to face in the finals and special warning to Sane if he chose to do more of his dribbling than shooting, they should address him on this coming fixture that Madrid defense is not approachable with such pattern, they should do lot more of outside 18 yards box shooting than attempting to do passes inside the opponents box, doing those passes will bring their players out and if the ball gets recovered by Madrid a quick and dangerous counter that may lead to goals. Yet Madrid is the favourite to win but who knows, Bayern at their best might change the result of the game to their own favour.

It cannot be compared, each team has different strengths and likewise, when facing other teams, of course the team's game or performance will be different.
Overall, if we look at the performance of Real Madrid and Bayern throughout this season, there are indeed slight differences, especially Bayern which looks quite bad because it failed to defend its Bundesliga title, but I think there is another side that must also be looked at, namely the overall strength and players of both teams. and in my opinion these two teams are quite good this season so it cannot be denied that the semifinal match between these two teams will be quite balanced and fierce.

It was a good performance by the whole team. And in the match, both teams showed everything they could. Although Man City is the team that is rated higher. But luck may have been on Real Madrid's side after the tense penalty shootout. And Carlo Ancelotti is the one who helped Real Madrid defeat Man City perfectly under Pep Guardiola. Pep always turns every team he leads into a precision machine, destroying every opponent. Amid the endless flow of modern football amidst the day-to-day changes in tactics. Carlo Ancelotti remains loyal to his choice. Despite doubts, that style of play stands firm, is still effective, and is a solid testament to "classical" values. Carlo Ancelotti is the first coach to eliminate Pep Guardiola from the Champions League in three campaigns. Carlo Ancelotti is still better than Pep Guardiola.

Real's next challenge is Bayern Munich, who defeated a powerful Arsenal. Bayern is a formidable opponent, especially when their goal is now just the Champions League. But with Bayern Munich's current uu-aup-down form, Real will defeat them.

I think most of us think the same as you. Man City and Real Madrid are the favorite candidates. They have stronger squads, they have smart coaches. They actually are expected playing in the final round. Unfortunately, they must face one another in the quarter-final. Since Man City is eliminated, Real Madrid is the only favorite candidate for the champion.

Real Madrid might be favorites based on form and history but you can’t write off Bayern and this is Champions League we’re talking about, a game with lots of action and upsets. Any team that has reached the semifinals is no small team. I personally think this season won’t be as normal, I feel this will be time for the underdogs, a team that hasn’t won it either of Paris St. Germaine or Borussia Dortmund the victor will lift the cup. I don’t know who else thinks like me, with the way Both team plays they can’t be written off. I don’t think Madrid will have this one, Bayern might knock them out.

It is true that Dortmund will have a hard time, it is not going to be easy for them. Dortmund is a very technically enhanced team, but PSG has the physicality to endure all of that and then some.

I feel like we are going to see PSG having an easy win, it is not going to be all that simple for Dortmund, they just do not have the established team that could go for it. Sure they are at semi finals, and that makes people overestimate them, but they are fifth at bundesliga this season, while the semi finals at ucl type of dortmund may confuse you, the fifth at bhundesliga should show you that they are not actually that great. I bet that PSG will end up with something that can benefit them a lot, and will end up with a good situation in the end.
It's hard to say if against Dortmund it won't be difficult for PSG, because indeed at the moment the performance of PSG and Dortmund is actually quite balanced regardless of their performance in the domestic league, I think Dortmund and PSG have a big enough motivation to be able to beat each other to get a place in the Champions League final this season, in terms of squad of course PSG may still be better than Dortmund,  But don't we know Dortmund is a team inhabited by many talented players?,  so I think Dortmund will be able to make the expensive squad owned PSG troublesome later, in addition, I personally also doubt if PSG can beat Dortmund if Dortmund can bring out their best game in the semi-final match later.

Does a position in the domestic league guarantee a good or bad team in the Champions League?
I think not, because so far the domestic league and the Champions League have different atmospheres, so it's difficult to underestimate the teams who are in the Champions League even though they play poorly in the domestic league, so far we can see how a team is down in the league, but they can win the Champions League and I think maybe Dortmund will be able to do it this season.

Yes, actually Real Madrid's toughest challenge in the UCL has been resolved. Namely in the quarter-finals against Manchester City. Because when Real Madrid played against Manchester City, I think at that time the Real Madrid players had a little difficulty winning the match. The reason is that Manchester City in that match was very strong in defense and very sharp in attack. So in the quarter-final match, Real Madrid was able to win over Manchester City with great difficulty. In fact, I felt that the atmosphere of the Manchester City versus Real Madrid match felt like the final round. So it wouldn't be wrong if I said that in the UCL this time Real Madrid's toughest challenge was Manchester City and in the quarter-finals Real Madrid managed to overcome it.

And in the semifinals it might not be as difficult as in the quarterfinals. Especially with the shortcomings that Bayern Munich currently has. Of course, it will make it easier for Real Madrid to win the match in the semifinals this time. And for the final match, PSG is indeed a more worthy opponent than Borusia Dortmund. Because what is clear, if you look at the quality of the players, PSG is superior to Dortmund. But in my personal opinion, it doesn't matter whether PSG or Dortmund will be Real Madrid's opponents in the UCL final. Because of course the team that can qualify for the UCL final is the best team.

And in the semifinals it might not be as difficult as in the quarterfinals. Especially with the shortcomings that Bayern Munich currently has.

But in my personal opinion, it doesn't matter whether PSG or Dortmund will be Real Madrid's opponents in the UCL final. Because of course the team that can qualify for the UCL final is the best team.
I'm sure Ancelotti already knows about one of Bayern Munich weaknesses at the moment and Munich weakness could provide a big opportunity for Madrid to get rid of Bayern Munich and qualify for the final.
without me explaining in more depth how Munich is currently performing, everyone already knows how bad things are at the moment after losing the Bundesliga title Munich is getting worse and the next match against Real Madrid will put pressure on Tuchel to think harder to find a way to beat Real Madrid.
and for PSG, I admit that this team will be the favorite team after Real Madrid because in terms of player quality, there is no doubt that Dortmund does not have quality players like PSG, which currently really has a scoring player like Mbappe, who is always the most feared player in any team because of Mbappe skill with very fast running, it makes the opposing team feel a little confused about preventing Mbappe from scoring.
my prediction is that in this match PSG will qualify for the final round and this is what I want.

It is natural that currently many parties are favoring Real Madrid to win the UCL. The reason is, in the quarter-finals Real Madrid was able to beat Manchester City, who won the UCL last season. Because of this, Real Madrid received a lot of support compared to the other 4 teams that qualified for the semifinals. Then in this semifinal, I think Real Madrid will have a slight advantage over Bayern Munich in the first leg. Even though the first leg of the semifinals will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters and this will of course provide a bigger advantage for Bayern Munich. However, the thing that Real Madrid benefited from in this first leg was because many Bayern Munich players were injured. Because currently, as far as I know, 7 Bayern Munich players are injured. And 2 of them are players who play on the right wing (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry).

So ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich has weaknesses in several lines and the worst is on the right wing. The reason is, two right wingers belonging to Bayern Munich are injured. And this will certainly benefit Real Madrid a little. So in this first leg, even though the match was held at Bayern Munich's headquarters, I personally prefer Real Madrid to Bayern Munich. And in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely appear superior because they will be playing at home. So if you look at the current situation, it is very likely that Real Madrid will win over Bayern Munich in two legs at once.

Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

 ⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

 ⁠Currently Bayern have about 7 of its main starters out on injury and with that number, you can already imagine Real dominating in the first leg at the Alianz Arena. If they will dominate that much ij the first leg which will be away from home, how much more will they do when they play the return leg in front of their fans. So you now understand why Real Madrid will probably be the winners. Psg are going to be a better opposition in the finals though but I don’t see them being able to stop Real Madrid at all.
I will say that even if Bayern Munich have all their first eleven players on the field and all their substitutes fit, there is nothing that they will play to win Real Madrid. This is because Real Madrid is stronger than them currently, and Real Madrid have the attacking force it takes to destroy any club defense.

Real Madrid does not have home or away, as they can win anywhere that they are playing the game. Another thing is that whatever made Real Madrid to reach the semifinals Bayern is a small challenge for them to get rid of.
Yes, actually Real Madrid's toughest challenge in the UCL has been resolved. Namely in the quarter-finals against Manchester City. Because when Real Madrid played against Manchester City, I think at that time the Real Madrid players had a little difficulty winning the match. The reason is that Manchester City in that match was very strong in defense and very sharp in attack. So in the quarter-final match, Real Madrid was able to win over Manchester City with great difficulty. In fact, I felt that the atmosphere of the Manchester City versus Real Madrid match felt like the final round. So it wouldn't be wrong if I said that in the UCL this time Real Madrid's toughest challenge was Manchester City and in the quarter-finals Real Madrid managed to overcome it.

And in the semifinals it might not be as difficult as in the quarterfinals. Especially with the shortcomings that Bayern Munich currently has. Of course, it will make it easier for Real Madrid to win the match in the semifinals this time. And for the final match, PSG is indeed a more worthy opponent than Borusia Dortmund. Because what is clear, if you look at the quality of the players, PSG is superior to Dortmund. But in my personal opinion, it doesn't matter whether PSG or Dortmund will be Real Madrid's opponents in the UCL final. Because of course the team that can qualify for the UCL final is the best team.

Dortmund have a unique way of playing against their opponent but sometimes uniqueness might not really work in some situations. And even playing against q club like psg has good players that play in their own talent, and the physicality that psg depends on that is the likes of Mbappe that has super speed and a good power goals. I have the same feeling that psg will have a easy win. And the semi finals is going to be tough And if psg should qualify it won't be that easy but eventually if they meet with Madrid it is going to be tougher but if qm to predict who is going to win then I will go for real Madrid, am very they won't want to lose any club after they have gotten to this point. Good luck psg against Dortmund.

Haha, don't ever think that winning is easy when the Champions League is in the semi-finals these teams have overcome various challenges and defeated great teams meaning they are the 4 best teams of all teams. Apart from that, we often see surprises in the last few matches so who knows, we might see another surprise in the upcoming match. What is clear is that we cannot underestimate any team when they are in the semi-finals, they could win through unexpected things for example through a penalty shootout or because of a red card.
You are absolutely correct. There is one situation that we ignore, and that is the situation of receiving a red card. When a team that is the favorite in the match receives a red card, the balance of the entire team can be disrupted and they can suffer a heavy defeat. The Barcelona-Paris SG rematch showed us this. When Araujo received an early red card, they gifted the rematch to Paris and Paris used that advantage perfectly.

Yes, you are actually right on this, a red card can change everything in the game, but I don't think it's just red card we should be watching out for because in competition like this, their are some teams that may not be doing well all season, and manage to get to this semi final stage of the competition, just as Bayern Munich, so if we get into a senerio whereby their is a great leap in improvement within the ranks of Bayern Munich, and they went back to the level they were known for, do we not think they can win it easily after beating real madrid?


Why am saying this is that most teams does better as the season is coming to an end, and the clear favourite which is real madrid might not win it because this is football, anything can happen, just as red card can spoil everything for a team, injuries of  three to four of their most important players can change everything, even for the bookmarkers favourites in the competition, so to me, impossibilities is nothing in football.
