And psg have dedicated every energy they have towards the champions league and playing against Dortmund wont be a problem to them Dortmund is weak even in Bundesliga, and from the look of things there is no serious competitor except for real Madrid and am very sure that psg will cross to the finals, since Manchester city is out already. is not really about if there is an instruction or not the leaguea is hot who would have expected manchester city to be removed so can really predict what will happen or not. and they have good opportunity and winning the champions league is mbappes dream there will be a lot of effort coming that young man it wont make anything for any club so the competition is still on. Dortmund will be in trouble.

Paris St. German's win over Barcelona in their last Champions League game brought in a new motivational spirit into the team, and which I believe that spirited effort will be introduced in their game between Borussia Dortmund, Definitely, it isn't going to be easy game for them but what I saw them do in the second half of that game was something interesting, Therefore, to achieve total victory, they need to put in extra effort and strength in the game because their opponent Dortmund isn't an easy side to face, especially when they play at home.

You are right about the pressure on the players. I used to criticize PSG a lot and said that the performance of the players in the offensive line decreased due to the mistakes made by the defenders. As the number of star players on the team decreased, the players became more compatible. We can see this when we watch the team.

I don't think the Dortmund match will be easy. In the semi-finals, every team can advance to the final and we can watch matches with surprising results. I'm especially curious about what will happen in this matchup.

In the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, everyone is expecting Real Madrid to win. I also do not think it is going to be any different. even though people also did not expect Real Madrid to actually approach to this stage of the competition by beating Manchester City, I think Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions League title. Now it is possible for Bayern Munich to actually win the first leg against Real Madrid because the match is going to be played on the home ground of Bayern Munich.

But we should not forget that the second leg is obviously going to be played in the ground of Real Madrid. Over the two legs, I think Real Madrid is going to find a way to approach to the final of the competition and beat Bayern Munich in the process as well. Of course, Buyer is going to try their best to win because after 11 years they have lost the Bundesliga title. This is the only chance they have to achieve anything glorious in this season

I also saw this, many predicted that PSG would be much more favored to enter the next phase, namely the Final.
Of course, this year the team owner has been in the spotlight and a target plan has been made, the team owner has given directions to his subordinates on how to get this title this year. There is no need to waste the opportunities this year, it is not certain that next year they will be able to achieve what they are today. The main thing in the first leg match is that Psg must steal points at home to Dortmund if they want to advance them into the next phase. Even though it looks weak (Dortmund), PSG needs to be careful in the next match. Of course, both teams want to make history in the Champions League. Dortmund has read PSG's game movements, if PSG is not alert anything can happen and an early win will happen for Dortmund.

I'm sure not many people thought that PSG managed to beat Barcelona in the second leg match yesterday because Barcelona was quite confident of being able to qualify for the semi-finals of the UCL because they were able to win against PSG in the previous first leg match, but unfortunately Barcelona had to recognize PSG's strength which we never knew. You know, PSG surprised everyone and it is certain that Dortmund is not a tough opponent compared to Madrid or Munich. Luckily PSG met Dortmund who have the same strength so of course there will be a chance to qualify for the final by beating Dortmund.

But I'm not sure that Dortmund can beat PSG in the semi-final match, that's why I'm confident that PSG seems to be able to reach the final of the UCL season and could possibly meet Madrid because judging from the statistics, Munich has never managed to win against Madrid in several their last meeting, I'm sure this will be an interesting match for Mbappe to be able to face Madrid in the final while still playing for PSG, if PSG manages to win the UCL title of course this will be big news, but if Madrid manages to win it again, that title will be a great title. Madrid has won the 15th UCL trophy. Hopefully there will be a new champion in the UCL this season, at least PSG 

About PSG vs Dortmund, even though I think this is going to be close, I believe this should be a win for PSG. PSG should be the one going to the final of the Champions League competition and face Real Madrid in the final. Of course, a lot of assumptions are being made in the statement. But everyone is expecting exactly this to happen. Dortmund still have to worry about the Bundesliga. PSG does not have any worries like that. They are going to win the Ligue 1 title anyway.

You know the PSG coach, Luis Enrique is very interested in winning the Champions League. Even though I do not believe he is going to win the Champions League title, but I am confident that they will be able to reach the finals. Remember nobody gave them any chance against Barcelona. But they were able to win against Barcelona and reach the semi-finals. So I do not think they are going to lose against Dortmund in the aggregate score.

At the moment I cannot underestimate the PSG team. I know PSG team is not very strong. But they have talented and experienced players like Mbappe and Dembele. PSG also has an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. Luis Enrique is quite experienced on the Champions League platform.

Qualifying for the final is not difficult for PSG. The Dortmund team played very well in the quarter finals. However, the performance of this team is erratic. I believe PSG will win against Dortmund and qualify for the final. I have faith in Luis Enrique. PSG's only target now is the Champions League. PSG have no interest in doing well in Ligue 1 right now.

There is certainly no doubt about PSG's current performance, with them being able to beat a team with experience like Barcelona is enough to prove that they have a good chance of winning. and I think PSG doesn't have a tough enough opponent apart from Borussia Dortmund. Maybe Borussia Dortmund will provide a game that can make things difficult for them later, but compared to other teams I think PSG can still match it well.

remembering that PSG's previous match was indeed surprising, especially when yesterday they played against Barcelona, where we know Barcelona is an experienced team, but PSG could provide a surprise in the second leg match, even though with the first leg I think Barcelona will be more confident to could win, but in reality PSG provided more surprises.

Im still thinking PSG chances are really high, for a few things which im gonna write below.

First of all they have a super coach like Luis Enrique.
Second and super importnat, for the first time they are not below the main lights they are not a favorite to win the title, and they dont have anymore a super star team, like when they had Messi Neymar Mbappe. And this is less pressure for the players.
Third they play and easy semifinal against Dortmund, and the final is only ONE game where everything can pass.

Since we are talking about a tournament like the Champions League, there is not any weak team in this tournament and all the teams in this tournament play with full power and they are usually in their best form.
talking about Dortmund, we know Dortmund couldn't have a good performance in the Bundesliga like they had in the last season but this won't change the fact that Dortmund is a strong team. Dortmund is the team they beat Atletico Mardi and they won the game against this team.
However I guess compared to Barcelona, Dortmund can't be a hard competitor for PSG and that's why I can say Enrique is lucky to play against this team.

PSG's goal was scored after Araujo received a red card in the 29th minute. PSG played quite well in that match but I think the red card that Araujo received had a significant impact on Barcelona's game. They cannot implement tactics and games as planned. And PSG was able to take advantage of that moment very well.

Dortmund are not a bad team, but I think they are on a bad run in their league. You are right that teams from the Bundesliga have their own motivation in the Champions league but I think Dortmund is one level below PSG. This is different from Munich, which can be said to be on an equal level with Madrid, although I still favor Real Madrid to become champions.

If we only see the final score about PSG who managed to beat Barcelona in that second leg, then of course we will be surprised and think PSG has better quality than Barcelona. But after we get what that happened in the match, then maybe I will think that PSG was lucky because Barcelona also only played with 10 players. So yes, if in the semifinals later, for example, PSG gets a more difficult opponent and not Dortmund, then I believe PSG will lose in the semifinals. But yes, because in the semifinals PSG will meet Dortmund then at least PSG is the favorite team because obviously, PSG has better quality compared to Dortmund. But even so, it doesn't mean PSG will be able to beat Dortmund easily because of course, Dortmund will also try their best and thus, it still won't be easy to beat Dortmund.

Terzic and Luis Enrique both have experience in the Champions League, I think both of them will do their best so that their team does their job when these two teams meet in the semifinal match. for me, PSG has an advantage because they only focus on this competition. in Ligue 1 PSG can be said to be more relaxed, because they are almost certain to retain the League title.
meanwhile for Dortmund, Edin Terzic's squad must focus on two competitions at once. are in 5th place in the Bundesliga, making their position in danger of not participating in the Champions League next season, especially if Dortmund loses during home or away matches. thus, it will worsen Dortmund's performance this season.

However, that doesn't mean that Dortmund will easily be overthrown by Paris Saint-Germain, because after all, Dortmund has a chance to overthrow PSG, especially since the first leg will be held at Signal Iduna Park. In fact, the two teams met in the group phase, and Dortmund won Group F. In this match, Paris Saint-Germain started to be different, their game started to become structured and aggressive. So it's very natural that even though in the first leg Dortmund played at home, PSG was slightly superior in the meeting between these two teams. I favor PSG more, but we'll just have to wait for the battle between these two teams to take place.

Dortmund will be a very difficult opponent for PSG and I think PSG could have been eliminated by Dortmund if Dortmund could still maintain their performance like when eliminating Atletico Madrid, at the moment PSG is filled with many star players and of course we cannot underestimate the quality of the players he has at the moment, but in this case we cannot make it a reference if PSG will be able to beat Dortmund easily Because after all, Dortmund has great motivation after they can beat a team as strong and tough as Atletico Madrid, besides that PSG's luck against Barcelona of course may not be will repeated in the match against Dortmund later.

To be honest, in the modern era like today, we cannot make the valuation of a team as a benchmark for the team to be better, yes indeed strong finances will make a team will easily improve the quality of its squad, but still it does not guarantee that the team is very strong and wins, if we compare the valuation of a team, of course a team like Dortmund is far below the value of the 4 teams that were eliminated in the quarterfinals yesterday,  But in fact they can still survive until the semi-finals and of course this shows performance and mentality is the most important thing compared to the big names in a team.

PSG experienced difficulties in the group stage but then they got an easy win in the round of 16. And in the quarter-finals PSG also almost lost because they were 1 point behind on aggregate since the first leg. but was able to turn things around in the second leg and finally qualified for the semi-finals. And I think it's been a very difficult journey indeed and yeah it's been quite surprising. But with the squad they have they will indeed be the favorites in the semi-finals against Dortmund. But in the first leg, maybe PSG won't immediately get the advantage. I predict the first leg will only end in a draw and only then in the second leg will PSG win dramatically. Mbappe's contract will expire at the end of this season and we all know that Mbappe has no intention of extending his contract at PSG. Therefore, Mbappe and his friends definitely want to do their best to create the happiest moments this season because this could be the last season they can play with Mbappe. The real problem I think was in the Finals. Meanwhile in the semi-finals, I don't know what happens, but I'm pretty sure PSG will win.

Just like i said before because nobody thought Dortmund will be able to advances to the semifinal because they are underrated team and most people didn't considers them as champion candidate but they have been proven to us that although at Bundesliga Dortmund performance is unstable but at Champion League Dortmund is very impressive and if we look at based on the history Dortmund was more experience compared to PSG because they can being an the champion once time at 1996/1997 and Dortmund also has been advances to the final match on 2012/2013 but unfortunately at that time Dortmund was lost from Bayern Munich at the final match

But indeed those statistics cannot be used anymore as the reference to predict the current match because Dortmund currently has different squad and since 2012 Dortmund never playing at the semifinal matches again even several times they have to eliminate early but at least from the history Dortmund is much better than PSG and i still considers Dortmund as dark horses team in champion league but my prediction is still same because i think PSG can able to overcomes Dortmund and advances to the final match and it could be very fantastic if in the final match PSG met Real Madrid

The Dortmund versus PSG match will definitely be interesting to wait for, and the match will be intense and entertaining. Both teams will likely play openly and appear more attacking, so I think this match will entertain us all. Meanwhile, regarding the chances of the two teams, PSG is the favorite in this match, not without reason why that is, because we can see the history of meetings between the two teams in the preliminary round of Group F yesterday. In the first leg, PSG managed to beat Dortmund with a score of 2-0, then drew in the second leg with a score of 1-1.

Based on the meeting record, PSG deserves to be the favorite, even though we know that the two teams actually seem to have equal strength, it's just that PSG has better squad depth. This does not mean underestimating Dortmund bargaining value, with more experience playing in the Champions League they could create a surprise. Apart from that, PSG is again very profitable, because they are no longer worried about shifting their focus completely to the Champions League, because they are quite comfortable at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. In contrast to the situation currently being faced by Dortmund, they still have to try to stabilize their performance, to be able to penetrate the top four of the Bundesliga standings.

Honestly, PSG surprised me
I didn`t think that a poorly composed puzzle team could do this, I believe that a team must be formed organically by strong players and good, experienced players
putting so many talents on one team often doesn`t work well
but PSG surprised me

PSG has a good chance of winning at this point

Dortmund played many seasons in Champions League and they are experienced there but they don't have much experience in Champions League quarter finals or semi finals. They regularly participate in Champions League but are different than biggest clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona with ability to appear very often in deep phases of Champions League.

Fortunately for Dortmund, PSG don't have many seasons in semi finals too so their semi final matches in this season will be very equal from their squad quality to experience in this round. Chance for Dortmund is like 50% to win and is not too smaller than chance of PSG.
