Now as we are heading for the last few matches of the season things are not easy for any team and both teams are having spots into semifinal after having tough challenging matches against top UEFA teams so it's never been easy for anyone to think this is going to be easy game because it's going to be one of the most challenging part with better team on match day will be into last final game in last few games we are having Real Madrid doing impressive performance and from here we are also having Bayern Munich at better side because they are already losing all things, and they have only this last hope with ending their season on high note.

Both teams are having few experienced and quality players which can bring good performance for their team, and we will be having good match which will be surely full of action and entertainment for the all soccer fans.

In the 2012 UEFA Champions League semi final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, it was an epic penalty shootout that saw three of the best players of Real Madrid then miss their penalty that saw Bayern Munich eliminate Madrid to progress to the final before they were beaten by Chelsea. But years later, the same Cristiano Ronaldo who was one of the players that missed destroyed Bayern Munich by scoring five goals in a two-legged knockout stage game between the two clubs.
Like you rightly said, Real Madrid have gone past the Cristiano Ronaldo era since the Portuguese superstar left the club in 2018. The current players of Real Madrid already knows about the rivalry between their club and the Bayern Munich and would definitely be giving their best when the two clubs will meet at the in the semi final this season. Bookmakers are backing the Spanish club to reach the final and that I think is what's going to happen at the end of the tie.

These two clubs were not predicted to qualify for the semifinals, but they managed to prove their best abilities this season. If you look at the quality of players both of them have, it is natural for person to predict that PSG will qualify for the final. But even so, Dortmund cannot be underestimated because they also have good abilities when playing in the Champions League. This season is the best opportunity for Luis Enrique and they must try to prove themselves to be one of the best clubs in Europe.

Although coming out as champions is not easy because they have to face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich if they manage to beat Dortmund. Real Madrid will be very dangerous if they are able to advance to the final and I think it is difficult for any team to beat their mentality because facing Real Madrid in the final is not an easy thing.

It's a really nostalgic moment for us but time is moving forward. We will be seeing so many youngstars to play in the upcoming game. Im still expecting real madrid to beat bayern munich. Im not saying munich weak but its statistic was not as impressive as manchester city.



It's hard to pick which from these teams that are gonna win the game soon. Im expecting ma be real madrid win the first leg.

I think we must move on. Ronaldo has moved to the SPL and that time will never repeat again. We must open to the youngstar and bellingham is also one of amazing talent owned by real madrid too.

Madrid is also having so many great wingers who can perform as good as ronaldo like vini.

In the group, PSG vs Dortmund have one win and one draw, but the fact is that Dortmund secured their place in the 1/8 ahead of schedule, and PSG, if they had not taken a point in the last round, could have ended their performance in the tournament.
This is exactly the randomness I’m talking about: in this pair, the result is far from obvious, and anyone who thinks that PSG is a clear favorite is mistaken (however, you can always bet and make money on your confidence).

Of course, there is no guarantee to win the match although PSG is the favorite team. Moreover, PSG is going to play against Dortmund, it is the team that often the giant team in UCL. Lately, Dortmund could beat Atletico Madrid although Atletico Madrid has won the match in Leg 1 with 2 goals. Dortmund did a cool come-back by scoring 4 goals at home. Niclas Füllkrug and Marcel Sabitzer performed excellent in Leg 2 of UCL quarter-final. PSG must focus to stop these players if they want to win the match.

Agree. Most people expect to see Real Madrid vs PSG in the final. Both are top teams and they have a big motivation to win UCL match. However, I think Real Madrid may still dominate the match in the final because they know well how to deal with pressure in the crucial matches in UCL. PSG still rarely reaches the semi-final and final round. With its experience, Real Madrid looks like to win it.

With the new coach, a lot of people are actually starting to trust PSG. I don't think the majority of people expected them to actually beat Barcelona. But they were able to do that. I think if they are able to beat Barcelona, they should also be able to beat Dortmund as well. at this stage, football can be unpredictable. So nothing is certain.

But I believe PSG should have a good chance to advance to the next level of this competition. Now if PSG is able to win and go to the final, they will definitely look to face Bayern Munich in the final. I think they would rather not face Real Madrid. If Real Madrid is in the final of the champions league, there is almost 80% chance that they are going to win the champions league. Just tell me who that Real Madrid is going to win against Manchester city? But they still did it.

Real Madrid Bayern Munich is at this stage a european derby, i still remember that penalties definition when Mourinho coach Real Madrid, and Kaka Cristiano and Sergio Ramos missed their penalties, what a time, incredible how after that at least Cristiano and Ramos never failed a importnat penalty.

Other key match was when Cristiano socres a few goals and destroy Bayern a few years later.

I also have no doubts about the tactics that have been implemented by the Real Madrid coach so that Real Madrid can go this far in the Champions League and also in the domestic league. But sometimes I also wonder how Real Madrid has been able to do this so well all this time even though the team doesn't even have a special striker in its front line. But Ancelotti was able to assign the players he wanted to fill these positions in order to make it difficult for their opponents to win in important matches.

There's nothing wrong with that, because this is just a prediction and to be honest, this prediction is also the same prediction as mine. I also predict that Real Madrid will meet Paris Saint Germain in the final match. Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain beat Borussia Dortmund.
However, if we look at the German team's duel in the Champions League this season, that is also interesting in my opinion. And I think that's what German football fans will want, who in fact will definitely support Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to be in the final. This will be the final match as well as a derby match between the two giant German clubs.
However, it is quite difficult to see this happening, because now the favorites are Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain. It will also be a dilemma when Real Madrid meets Paris Saint Germain, because Real Madrid will definitely be far superior.

Paris Saint Germain vs Borussia Dortmund will be the match in the Champions League semifinals this season. Many predict that Paris Saint Germain will be able to win this match and qualify for the final, this is a natural thing because in this season's Champions League Paris Saint Germain also beat Borussia Dortmund in the group stage. In two meetings they were able to win once and the other time ended with a draw score, although in the end Paris Siant Germain had to be in the runner-up position at the end of the standings.

This is a very good opportunity for Paris Saint Germain, because they have a big chance of being in the final and that opens up the opportunity for them to become Champions League champions which they have always dreamed of. But the problem is that they will face Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final. and with 2 clubs one of whom will be their opponents in the final they are not the better of the two, and it is possible for them to fail again in their pursuit of the Champions League.

I don't think what happened in the group phase can be used as a reference, everything will be different, in fact Dortmund will learn from what has happened to be able to recover more and we can also see Dortmund's overall performance which has improved compared to the start of the season and that performance can be seen they compete in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

I think the two semifinal matches will be quite fierce, Dortmund and PSG as a whole do not have a significant difference in quality, making it possible for fierce competition to occur between the two teams.

Likewise for the Bayern vs Real Madrid match, this is a classic match between two strong teams and is considered on the Champions League stage, even though this season Bayern's performance has declined slightly, I think the prestige between these two top European teams will make it to the semifinal match This CL season will be fierce.

There are many reasons why Real Madrid should be considered favorites over Bayern Munich, not only past record game, but also the team's recent performance. Real Madrid managed to achieve great wins in many tough matches including winning on penalties against Manchester City and beating Barcelona in injury time, it was an impressive performance from Real Madrid which is several reasons to consider them favorites against Bayern Munich in the semifinal.

Regarding mentality, I think Bayern Munich also has a good mentality in big European competitions including the Champions League. Bayern Munich certainly does not have the same title record as Real Madrid, but Bayern Munich is a team that is always considered one of the favorites in every Champions League title every season. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are both two teams that can be expected to qualify for the final, but I think Real Madrid has a better chance this season.

This season PSG and Dortmund are in the same group F, and at that time Dortmund managed to top the Group F standings while PSG was in the runner up position, in the group phase this season PSG did manage to beat Dortmund but I think it cannot be a reference for PSG to be able to do the same in the semi-finals later,  For now Dortmund must have been able to improve their current performance so maybe they will not make the same mistake when they were beaten by PSG in the group stage, currently PSG are favorites to reach the final round but that does not mean they will be very easy to beat Dortmund, I think the defeat of Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals yesterday was a lesson for PSG not to underestimate Dortmund who could have made a surprise against PSG Later.

The final between Real Madrid and PSG would definitely be an ideal final, but I don't think we can expect 100% it to happen when Dortmund and Munich are againts  the favourites teams right now, I think for Dortmund and PSG's chances of qualifying for the final I think it's 50/50 because both teams have a strong motivation to win the semi-finals to reach the final this season.

Actually Madrid is very much determined andresilient such that they wouldn't want to accept defeat just like you rightly stated because they are experienced both in the champions league and their domestic league too aswell so I'm sure it's definitely going to be a really rough one for Bayern Munich as they will actually have to put in more effort to getting the best out of the game against Madrid .

I'm actually going to make sure to see this game because bit promising to be interesting actually and probably though aswell. Just like you have rightly stated this is actually going to be the toughest for Bayern Munich and if they are able to get pass This then they can be sure that they are definitely going to be able to have a chance at probably winning the trophy this season because it's going to be a game of almost equals strength between Bayern and PSG and that's if PSG is able to get pass Dortmund because i wouldn't want to see any less with Dortmund aswell as they are not a weak Side having been able to have been able to have gotten to this point of the league at this time.

This stage of the champions league is actually going to be really interesting and filled with so much of actions as all the teams at this stage aren't in any way weak or to be considered any lesser than the other in their possible form and ability to be able to get the best out of the league at this time if given the opportunity and chance to probably get to win the trophy, Bayern Munich, PSG, Dortmund and Real Madrid are all top teams in their various domestic leagues and aswell have been doing well in the champions league aswell.

Real Madrid at this stage are already looking like the major favorites for this trophy but they still have an obstacle to pass which is Bayern Munich at this stage. Bayern at this stage are not looking like how they’re pretty weak in the domestic league, in the ucl they’re one very fierce team.With the experienced players you can tell how much of a challenge this Real Madrid team will have to face in order to be able to overthrow Bayern munich and head to the finals.

 The addition of Harry Kane has really been pivotal and you can tell that the squad is pretty balanced with this addition. Real Madrid are a team with a very strong defense line like you saw in the way they played so composed against Man City but I think the major issue now will be how composed they can be against Bayern. I have very high hopes on how they can be composed against Bayern and get the victory needed to take them to finals because they’re a very strong side especially fierce in attack as against Bayern’s shaky defense.

 ⁠This match will be one thrilling one especially with the huge record held between these two teams in the ucl and you can refer to them as winners of the ucl in time past. I would look forward to this encounter and will love to know how it ends but I’m supporting Ancelotti Madrid to head to the finals.

I think it's ridiculous if a big club is not mentally prepared when facing a big club because after all, when a club starts competing, they must be ready with that because it is a basic thing that must be owned including facing other big clubs so saying Bayern is not ready is not justified. Although at the moment their performance may be below Madrid but they are definitely ready to do that.

For now they just have to finish what they started and inevitably they have to do that especially now that they have no targets that can be obtained considering the Bundesliga and DFB cannot be won so that their only reason to save face is to succeed in doing their best in the Champions League because that is the only way for Bayern to be considered a club with candidates in a competition.
Indeed for now Madrid is very strong and I personally want Madrid to be in the final but on the other hand in the end we also have to be objective that Bayern still has a chance to be in the final.

The Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich match is certainly more interesting, we also cannot ignore the other semifinal match, namely PSG versus Dortmund. In my opinion, PSG is the favorite to advance to the final, because based on their match in the previous group phase, PSG managed to beat Dortmund 2-0 in the first leg and drew in the second leg. In terms of depth, the PSG squad is also said to be better, and Luis Enrique is a coach who has a lot of experience in the Cahmpion League.

I assume the Champions League final will bring together Real Madrid versus PSG, I realize this is too early to say, but if you look at the strength and consistency of both teams, they really deserve to qualify for the final. Of course, we have to wait for the semifinal round to finish first, because anything could happen and the situation could change. Overall, Real Madrid is at the top regarding the chances of winning the Champions League trophy this season, followed by Bayern Munich, PSG and finally Dortmund.

Talking about mentality, I still rank Real Madrid as the team that has the best mentality in Europe or even in the world, they have succeeded in implementing that for many years. Even though they change generations, that mentality remains with them and it doesn't seem to fade with time. There is no team that can maintain a mentality like them in my view and I really applaud what they have in their mentality.

Maybe other teams also have a good mentality, but I see them going up and down in maintaining their mentality, sometimes they are very good and sometimes they are just ordinary. In a team, mentality is one of the factors that can bring them great success. because it's not uncommon for me to see teams that are so luxurious they just lose because they don't have a very good mentality. Especially in a very prestigious competition like the Champions League, because their mentality will help them to withstand any pressure that comes their way.

It is true that Bayern Munich's performance is very different from the previous season. Currently, it seems that they have no problems even though they have reached the semifinals, but if we look at Bayern Munich's journey before reaching the semifinals, Bayern Munich seems to have difficulty controlling its defense, especially when facing Lazio in the round of 16, it even experienced defeat in the away match even though if you look at the opponent it is not a tough opponent for Bayern Munich but fortunately at home Bayern Munich was able to score more than 2 goals so at least Bayern Munich was able to qualify for the quarter finals even against Arsenal it seemed that Bayern Munich was not as strong as before where Arsenal was slaughtered with a big score but in this meeting Bayern Munich's attack was not as strong as before.

This shows that Bayern Munich's performance has declined slightly in the Champions League, even in the domestic league, Bayern Munich also experienced the same thing, so Real Madrid can take advantage of Bayern Munich's weakness, which is not as strong as before, but we also have to remain alert. We also cannot ignore Bayern Munich, even though it seems weakened but Bayern Munich will play with full strength, Real Madrid cannot be careless in the slightest, this will give space for Bayern Munich to break through Real Madrid's defense.
