Based on the kind team PSG has beaten in this tournament show that PSG will take victory from Dortmund, and it will not going to be a tough game because Barcelona is more stronger than Dortmund, and I know that PSG will surely use the same strategy on them to be favor in the game.

In football game, there will surely be mistake that will make one team to win for their opponent to lose, and PSG prepared well for that game to beat Barcelona and they made it to beat Barcelona and lock them out from the UEFA champion league competition.
What PSG will do to Dortmund in this semi-final will shock you because they still have some players that are very active, if it comes to this stage of the semi-final in the tournament and they are fully aware that the whole world is watching to know if they can still help their team to succeed again, which I know that PSG can still do it to beat Dortmund 3:1 to achieve the victory from the game.

I guess that is true. But at the end of the day penalty is always a 50-50 chance. It can go either way. And Real Madrid had a plan which they were able to execute perfectly. I think rather than talking trash about Manchester City, we have to give credit to Real Madrid. Because I thought they were going to lose this one. At least looking at the way City was playing, I thought Manchester City was definitely going to score at any given time. But Real Madrid was pretty solid defending. Now Manchester City has to win the English Premier League title. Real Madrid is not worrying about the La Liga title too much right now. But they have Buyer Munich ahead of them.

Since Karim Benzema left Real Madrid, Real Madrid have not recruited any quality finishers or strikers in their club, but all the players that are in Real Madrid are filling the role of striker when they are available. Real Madrid always make a team by compromising every position on the field, that's why they get more success even if they don't have any notable players in their club. Real Madrid were early favorites to win the Champions League and La Liga titles this season. Real Madrid's dream of winning the La Liga title has been fulfilled, now their goal is to win the Champions League title. Real Madrid have a lot of confidence in the players who are regulars in the XI and they can certainly live up to the expectations of Real Madrid this season.

Some argue PSG is lucky, as they got a red card break against Barca. Football requires more than luck. PSG's shown they know how to win, best believe that. The coach is great and knows Champions League. Dortmund's win over Atletico was stunning. They've shown their mettle. PSG had the best of the prior encounters, but here is the next round. Dortmund is on fire, but PSG is ahead. They perform well when needed. PSG will need to play well, but I know they can since they're great players. I respect this challenge's unpredictability.

Real Madrid are not too upper stronger than Bayern Munich but they are stronger certainly. Difference between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are not too big and they both have very experienced coaches in Champions League too. Both Ancelotti and Tuchel already won Champions League with their clubs and this makes their tactical challenge with each other in two semi final matches more interesting and headache for both.

Kane will have another chance to play in Champions League semi finals. Some seasons ago, he got similar chances with Tottenham Hotspur and had a final match but failed at the end. He left Tottenham Hotspur after many years because he wanted to win trophies. He already failed to win Bundesliga so now Champions League is his only chance to lift a trophy in this season with Bayern Munich.

If Manchester City fails in the UCL, one of the clubs most favored to win the UCL title is definitely Madrid because if you look at it in terms of strength, Madrid is far superior to Munich, but Tuchel will of course also risk his reputation and status in the upcoming match against Madrid, as will Kane. will play as hard as possible to bring Munich to the final and win the UCL title this season with Munich as well as dispel accusations against him that he is a player who brings bad luck to Munich, against Madrid is certainly a proving ground for Kane.

I admit that Munich is also quite good in the UCL even though in the domestic league they don't look good and failed to win the Bundesliga title this season, Leverkusen has broken their dominance in the Bundesliga, I think Munich should be able to play carefully when facing Madrid and vice versa, the semi-final match It is much more difficult to predict between Munich and Madrid because these two teams are the most superior teams in the UCL, therefore everyone will bet according to the statistics of their meeting even though we know Madrid is far superior.

I personally still expect that Madrid will get the advantage again and get a victory in the semi-final match later and I am still quite optimistic about that considering what is happening now in terms of mental, defensive strength of the players and chemistry if you look at the actual statistics Madrid is superior, it's just that Bayern also has a fast squad where Musiala and Kane are a pretty good combo so far.

I don't want to underestimate Bayern in this match, it's just that looking at what happened I clearly support Madrid for this semi-final and I hope for an ideal final where PSG faces Madrid in the Champions League this time because even though Manchester City is the strongest candidate to leave but at this time by looking at the clubs still remaining in the Champions League of course there is still an ideal final that can happen.

Clubs that subscribe to UCL certainly have a very strong mentality to fight for their potential. Madrid and Munich will both play carefully, even though Munich stumbled when they lost to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, that doesn't mean that in the UCL their fate will be the same. This is proven because Tuchel has experience in this competition and really understands the opponents he will face. Tuchel may need time in the Bundesliga to really adjust, but in the UCL once again I'm sure he'll be used to it and know what to do. So there is no such thing as underestimating each other because by qualifying for the semifinals it is proven that the EPL team which is currently in a positive trend can also be made to budge by Munich.

Bayern is not very good this year, I don't think they can beat Real Madrid. Even without a striker, Real Madrid won't have too much trouble scoring goals, their current players might be enough to win this year's Champions League.
On the other hand, Dortmund will win. They attack more effectively than PSG and will have more scoring opportunities

It cannot be denied and overall this season Ancelotti's team is much better than Bayern Munich with all its problems, but this is a match between two top European teams who have long had a rivalry so it is very likely that this season's Champions League semi-final match between the two will be quite fierce.

If you look at it as a whole, Real Madrid is a bit of a favorite and that's quite natural in my opinion, but as you said, in the Champions League anything is possible and there are things that are different from the team's performance in their domestic league.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are both teams that appear very often in the Champions League, but don't forget that Real Madrid has won the most titles in the Champions League, so Munich could fail and suffer the same fate as Manchester City in the Champions League despite everything. It could still happen in the Champions League, but I believe the Real Madrid coach will continue to try to make Real Madrid stronger in the Champions League semifinals this season.

It looks like that, but I think they will work hard for the UCL. This might prove that Tuchel is also a good coach and will leave Munich with achievements. The UCL always gives different matches, remember how Munchen got to this point they beat pretty strong teams so they have a chance too.
But as a team I'm a Madrid fan, they need to maximize their home games by scoring a lot of goals. That can make Madrid's fight easier. But the semi-final leg 1 will be in Germany, so at least Madrid can draw is a good achievement. After that they maximize home matches in Spain.

You are right about Bayern Munich not being too strong as compared to previous seasons but don't Underrate Bayern Munich because anything can happen at this point because that was how everyone trusted Liverpool but at last they failed and couldn't go further so let us not forget that this is a team that is very active in the champions league so the unexpected should be expected.

The match between Real Madrid and Bayern happens to be one of those old healthy rivalries in the UCL. Them meeting at this stage of the competition means they both worked real hard for it and as such I think they’ll both respect each other whilst they go into this match. ⁠Though Bayerm haven’t been real consistent especially in the league as they happened to lose out woefully on the league to Bayern Leverkusen but you can’t say the same for the way they play in the UCL. In the Ucl, Bayern seems to be more fierce and I believe Real Madrid won’t underestimate them while they get into the match.

 Of course Real Madrid is considered to be favorite for this year’s UCL trophy but you can’t seem to underestimate Bayern because they too have been able to win the UCL trophy and also their coach just won it recently with Chelsea. As such they should understand the threat this Bayern side pose and shouldn’t overlook them based on their league performance.

 ⁠Of course the match will be one interesting one especially as both teams have shown resilience in getting to this stage of the competition, this alone makes the match to be one fierce one that we look up to. I just hope Real Madrid doesn’t disappoint and try to get the victory and head to the finals.

Paris Saint Germans are favorites to win and proceed to the next stage of the Champions League Competition which is the finals. There's nothing like luck in football, you can go ask Josep Pep Guardiola and he would tell you same thing said by the Dutch man Johan Cruyff who was one time Barcelona player and manager.

Unbelievable? You should go see IIkay Gundogans comment. Araujo is not a cool headed defender, not even a good one, I'd suggest Barcelona sells him truly... Lad wants to be seen busy but does nothing honestly.
Parisians currently has a coach who has won the Champions League Competition with Barcelona years back, I'm sure he will guide them to another finals.

One thing is certain, you don't need be told as you can see what's ahead even before the Semi finals. It's gone be a Paris Saint Germany and Real Madrid Finals.

but even though Bayern Munich is as strong as it is and cannot be underestimated, for Real Madrid the pressure against Bayern Munich is not like when it is against Man City.
so, even though Madrid has to admit that Munich is one of the strongest teams in the UCL, at least Madrid will be more relaxed in planning their strategy to get rid of Munich because this big team from the Bundesliga is experiencing difficulties in their defense and Ancelotti will take advantage of this.
even though the attack line has Kane, Kane still won't be able to break through the strong defensive wall that Madrid currently has and out of my mind I predict that Madrid will have a greater chance of qualifying for the final round.

This will be a retest match for the teams that were in the death group in Group F this season and of course this is a match that we cannot miss. How these two teams started this season's Champions League, being in the same group of death, has been the most important thing to pay attention to since the start of the season and who would have thought that the two of them would meet again in the semifinals.

If you look at the previous meeting, PSG was slightly superior in the group stage and once beat Dortmund, but in the next meeting Dortmund managed to hold PSG to a draw. Of course, Dortmund here wants to avenge their previous defeat and it would be an extraordinary thing if Dortmund managed to get rid of PSG and advance to the final round. But it won't be that easy considering that PSG is still the favorite to win and I think it is still quite difficult to determine who will win, but Dortmund has a chance to take the lead in the first leg considering that they will be the hosts.

I would not dare to say that Dortmund is the weakest team left, because at least a weak team could not beat Atletico like that.

And in fact, in the first match with Barcelona we saw that PSG is not so strong now, and they can be beaten even at home, and in the second match Barcelona simply had force majeure that affected the game, although perhaps they should have simply concentrated more on defense. I would probably also give preference to PSG in this pair, but there is definitely no clear advantage here, Dortmund has every chance of reaching the final.

I have the same thoughts as you, because we can compare between the first and second legs of the match between Barcelona vs PSG, we can see how Barcelona performed that was able to destroy PSG in Paris, as well as the second leg, didn't Barcelona play spectacularly and even able to score even before the game entered the 15th minute, I think Barcelona's performance in that match allowed them to win again against PSG but unfortunately As Gundogan said, Araujo destroyed Barcelona's dream of the Champions League with the red card he got in the game, PSG's success in advancing to the semi-finals certainly cannot be separated from their luck for Barcelona's misfortune which received a red card in the match, and maybe we would see Barcelona currently in the semi-finals if Barcelona did not get the red card.

The PSG and Dortmund match will be a rematch of the Champions League group F phase this season, Dortmund and PSG are in the same group and Dortmund managed to come out as group winners while PSG only as group runners-up, so I think both of them certainly have understood the character of each team's game, besides that PSG and Dortmund have met 6 matches and of these Borussia Dortmund twice won,  PSG won one win, with 3 matches ending in draws, so in my opinion PSG should be careful with Dortmund because after all they are not an easy team to beat.

Paris Saint Germain is more favored, because many people think Borussia Dortmund is the weakest team currently in the semifinals. However, Paris Saint Germain cannot take Borussia Dortmund for granted, because when they beat Atletico Madrid it proved that they are also capable of competing and providing something interesting.
Borussia Dortmund will play as hosts first, and that actually benefits them in my opinion, because they can take advantage of that to win the match and that will make them more confident. But don't think that by winning the first leg they can be guaranteed that they will qualify, because we know Paris Saint Gmain also lost the first leg and in the second leg they can win, even if they did it at the opponent's headquarters.
