A fellow Madridista?
I'm always scared when Madrid are facing Munich especially in the time of lewandowski.
Well don't want to jinx it but let see how things goes I'd prefer the La liga trophy despite lower than the UCL because the UCL trophy is becoming bland to me unlike La liga that we have barely won in recent years. So we have two Bundesliga, one Ligue 1 and 1 La liga
PSG still continue their streak of no UCL title.
PSG shouldn't be ruled out yet but rationally with past data I don't see them making the finals or raising the cup.
Just hope the final of UCL doesn't end up been another Bundesliga match 
Hala Madrid.

What is your opinion about the PSG - Dortmund matchup? Honestly I believe PSG are here big thanks to their luck as well. That unbelievable red card Araujo got finished off Barcelona. This makes me question PSG's chance for even reaching the finale. Because their opponent in the semi finals is doing really good recently too. 

Dortmund eliminated Atletico Madrid which isn't really an easy job to do for even the biggest favourites of the title here. They did it in a really impressive way at the same time. I remember PSG - Dortmund games in the group stage but I still believe it might be different this time. Even if PSG advance I think it won't be easy.

Real Madrid will never underestimate its arch rival in the Champions League even though in recent years it has not met Bayern Munich, but now Real Madrid will be reunited with Bayern Munich in the semifinals and this will be a big match for both of them, whichever club they face. Real Madrid will definitely feel the pressure, as well as Real Madrid, which is not taking its opponents in this semifinal easy because their opponents have also fought hard to reach this round. Even though Bayern Munich appear less consistent in the domestic league, when they are in the Champions League, Bayern Munich is still the second favorite after Real Madrid.

Yes, they have won the Champions League title so for now they have the same chance of getting the title even though most people choose Real Madrid, including myself. But Bayern Munich also remains an enemy that Real Madrid is quite wary of so we'll see what will happen what happens between them later I only wish the best for Real Madrid, it remains my favorite club in the Champions League.

As mentioned we all know these both sides are well experienced and having quality to do things in this big game even Bayern Munich is having some problems into their domestic league but still they are doing impressive into Champions League which is good from them and with this performance and level of quality we can give them fair chance for having good fight against top spirited Real Madrid which is now after beating Manchester City having more edge to win this title again as they are having most wins in the history of this event which is record.

Both sides are clearly having good experience but recent tactics and strategy are clearly giving good advantage to Carlos Ancelotti which is one of the best person and doing amazing job in this season after having good advantage against top teams of the soccer world.

This is strong point while we can talk about this as well because in last season we have mostly top teams were facing troubling time due to injuries and lack of players which give Manchester City huge chance for the win, and they were good enough to avail this and win the many trophies but in this season we are having mostly teams are at his best which is giving them good advantage and Manchester City were facing some trouble due to their attack was not good enough as they were having in last season which give them bad results, and now they are having exit from the event which is surely nothing new because usually clubs are face situations like this and also having exit like this which give them motivation for the next season hopefully now we will have them back stronger in coming season for the another title race.

The odds should be against Bayern Munich and be in favour of Real Madrid because with so many indications, it is clear that Real Madrid has the greater quality in this game to prevail over Bayern Munich. This season, when you compare their stats, it becomes very clear that Real Madrid is the better and most successful team this season amongst all other teams left playing in the champions league semifinals.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have vast experience in the champions league but sometimes that’s not enough to make the teams to win their match and qualify for the next round without adding extra tactics into the match. The odds could be in favour of Real Madrid but Bayern Munich are not left out on the hope of not winning the match also. Football is unpredictable and anything can happen, so I can’t be decisive of the winning team in the end.

Indeed. Real Madrid can't underestimate Bayern Munich although this team is in bad performance in their domestic competition. Bayern Munich is surely a strong team in UCL, they even always becomes one of the favorite teams to win the UCL trophy. Moreover, Bayern Munich has no hope for domestic trophies, they will focus on UCL now. I'm pretty sure Bayern Munich will play all out, they won't care with the possibility of injuries or anything. Reaching the final UCL and win the trophy is their main priority now.

The stats of previous matches can't determine the result of the next match. Although Real Madrid often won against Bayern Munich, it is not impossible that Bayern Munich can defeat Real Madrid in this season. However, Real Madrid is still better than Bayern Munich if we consider the current performance of these teams.

Why you hate it? It is even more interesting if Real Madrid is very dominant in UCL. Other teams will be motivated to end up the domination of Real Madrid in UCL. The domination of Real Madrid isn't only caused by the luck or magic factor, you must understand how strong this team. Perez always builds Real Madrid with skillful and star players.

You made a point because it is not easy to survive in the champions league because you get to meet teams that are from different leagues and plays different patterns of football more like teams that you always meet in the domestic league so I agree that for Bayern Munich to reach this stage even when they are not too in form means they tried too and despite that everyone is giving the odds to Real Madrid, table may turn and the opposite occur so Bayern may do something wonderful on their match against Real Madrid.

Last season in the UEFA Champions League competition, Real Madrid were eliminated from the competition in the semi finals by Manchester City in a convincing fashion which is why many people were still of the opinion that Madrid will likely gave same humiliation when the travel to the Etihad for the second leg of their quarter final encounter with the English champions but to their surprise, Real Madrid delivered a great performance to reach the semi final and send Pep Guardiola's men parking from the competition.
My belief in the Real Madrid team this season has be unflinching because of how impressive and formidable they've been all season and against Manchester City, I knew that Carlo Ancelotti's men were surely going to win the tie.

When this game started between Real Madrid and Manchester City we could guess one of these two teams will be out of the Champions League. However, I was hoping to see these two teams playing against each other later and in the final match but sadly it didn't happen and we should say goodbye to Manchester City and their coach Guardiola.
However, we know the performance of Manchester City was not bad at all and Real Madrid was lucky to beat Manchester City in the penalty kicks.
Now we should wait for the game between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

I i think ruling out Bayern Munich already may actually be really detrimental because i have observed that in as much as Bayern Munich isn't looking very fit as they used to be in their bundseliga which happens to be their domestic league, i still see that they have a better performance in the champions league when compares because the champions league is actually expected to be more competitive and challenging yet they are doing good.

The bundesliga hasn't been as challenging as it is now before but then it's not still looking much more challenging than the champions league in my perspective because i think the champions league is actually even more challenging than the bundesliga but then Munich has been able to surpass this level of the league because they have seem to put more effort in the champions league hoping to get the most off it since they couldn't achieve such with the bundesliga this season, in previous seasons they would rather channel the energy into the bundesliga.

I feel the Bavarians wants to make sure to achieve the champions league this season and underrating them will be the biggest mistake Madrid may make if they actually do because since the champions league they have not lost too many games and they have been able to ascend.the champions league table till this point knocking out others who were contenders too so i personally see Bayern Munich as even more dangerous this season than before as they may  be playing a psychology game.

Last year City succeeded for one reason only - Real Madrid were without a striker (and all the other contenders were also in crisis). Maybe last year City would have won the Champions League even if the competitors had been in optimal shape, but the fact remains: their only success was achieved during a season of crisis for everyone else. That's why it makes me laugh when City are called the strongest team (and Pep is a good coach), they never jumped above their heads. That is why they will always remain a money bag and greatness will be with other clubs.

All these factors are right about all the remaining teams in the Champions League, but to predict the winning team will be difficult because all these teams have their slight chances just that Madrid and PSG’s chances are higher than Bayern and Dortmund.

Just as many people are thinking that Bayern and Dortmund might not go far in the tournament, I am expecting this Champions League final to be between Madrid and PSG because Madrid might win Bayern while PSG might win Dortmund which means the two German teams might be eliminated in the semifinal.

These two German giants Bayern and Dortmund really tried this season even after having a bad season in the Bundesliga as Bayer Leverkusen won the League ahead of them all; I think one of them should be a Champions League finalist this season.

Do you think that Real Madrid is Arsenal that do3have sharp strikers and Bayern defenders was able to stop them from scoring any goal in the second leg in Germany. I am very sure that Rodrigo will find the back of the net on that day, and is it Kane that missed a lot of chances or that the whole club is depending on that want to take them to the finals.

However, with this weak form of Bayern Munich, you still have hope in them. Even when Bayern Munich was in their best form back days during the time of Ruben, Ribbery and the rest, Bayern Munich find it very difficult to win Madrid talkmore of now that they in a bad form, and have been beaten by weak teams in their home. It will be an easy win for Real Madrid, and they will win UCL this season.

Even though Real Madrid is basically still a candidate team to win the title, but there are still a lot of people who expect Bayern Munich can qualify for the final, and that includes me. But about Dortmund v PSG, I really find it difficult to make a choice although indeed, maybe PSG is the team that has the potential to qualify for the final. But yes, with Dortmund's great efforts before too, at least it is also proof that Dortmund has great ambitions to qualify for the final match. Therefore, I think all the teams in the semifinals this time are very interesting, because the four teams that are in the semifinals right now really seem to have an equally good chance of qualifying for the final.

I agree, if you look at the teams that have reached the semi-finals at all, it's obvious that Real Madrid have a great chance of not only reaching the final, but also winning it. PSG in my opinion will not be able to stand up to Real Madrid if they meet in the final, Borussia could be a very interesting match if they end up together in the final

Quite true but it will be interesting to watch Bayern Munich win over Real Madrid in the Tuesday match fixturing as that will be the most difficult thing to happen. However Bayern Munich will forever be grateful for their decisiveness if they eventually win over Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions league.

Right now, for Bayern Munich to win over Real Madrid can be easily compared to Dortmund winning over PSG and if such cases should occur for both clubs it will be one of the greatest dual victories both clubs will experience this season and that will be converted to Bayern Munich facing Dortmund at the finals of this season.

Arsenal were off their usual game, but there's Bayern. They are also out of the german league and they will give the champions league full attention and their power. I think Real is better for Bayern, if City had come they could have got Bayern really bad. Now it's a nice balanced match up. City's elimination is also great, we finally have a champions league that we can't predict who will win. No matter how out of form real madrid and bayern are, they somehow beat their rivals in the champions league.

Now we don't need to talk about the previous glory days because the fact is that even in Bayern's heyday they lost to Madrid. For now, everything has its own development and time, including Bayern and Madrid because they are still a pretty good club, although for now Bayern must be a little underestimated especially with their poor performance in domestic competitions and currently the euphoria for Madrid is still quite high because they managed to beat Manchester City before.

Now all possibilities can still happen because after all, with the current situation of Madrid and Bayern in terms of players they are not much different even in terms of attack Bayern could be a little better because their style of play is the same as Manchester City but on the other hand Madrid is still Madrid with a mentality that cannot be underestimated because indeed until now Madrid is one of the clubs with the strongest mentality because of the experience they have.

Real Madrid have no striker. But in this cup, they are again ambitious and very successful. The Champions League is always a different place for them. But I don't think a team playing without a striker can win the Champions League.

Paris Saint Germain have Mbappe. But they are a young and inexperienced team. I don't think they can win this cup either. They don't have enough experience yet.

I'm sure almost everyone gives Borussia Dortmund the least chance of winning the title.

Kane, Kimmich, Gnabry, Sane, Neuer. They've had bad results in the league this season. But they are a team of experienced players who play together with young players. I expect a surprise from Bayern Munich.
