This season the performance of PSG generally is better than that of Dortmund but during their meeting in the champions league Dortmund created more chances and got rewarded for it as they won by 1:0. IMO, I don't think the one goal that Dortmund has at home in the first leg is enough to qualify them to the finals because truth be told you can't write off PSG because they couldn't do anything in the first leg but they were able to hold on to the one goal and not concede more goals until the final whistle so coming to their home ground, I will personally bet on PSG to qualify because they can get 2 early goals and make things more difficult for Dortmund in the second half, this is the champions league where home plays a big role, Mbappe will definitely be on the lookout as he's going to surely get a goal and help his team to progress to the final let's watch and see.

Dortmund is a more composed team,and they will remain composed even the second leg of the game.PSG have no chance of qualifying,and i dont think they will be able to get two goals at  their home against a solid side like Dortmund.
The game would have been in their favour if they had drawn the first leg of the encounter,but they allowed Dortmund to win them first leg,and that is why i think there is no magic about it again.If it were to be madrid or Mancity,i would have said there is a possibility because they are the only teams that can do magic when it comes to come back.
The second leg will end in a draw,and Dortmund will get to the finals of the champions league and might even win it.

I think PSG's opportunity in the 2nd leg is still quite open because the 1-0 aggregate is still very likely to be chased, but Dortmund is not a team that is able to step up by chance, they have a strong character in the Champions League. Apart from that, Les Pariesen definitely has big ambitions because the most prestigious trophy in Europe is certainly the main target for Kylian Mbappe.

I believe that leg 2 will be very fierce because both teams have the same desire to reach the final round. In the 1st leg match, if you refer to statistics, there is no team that stands out, meaning the strength of the two teams is still quite balanced. I really hope PSG progresses to the final and meets Real Madrid, which will make the match atmosphere even more exciting.

In as much as PSG had earlier made a come back in a similar situation as this in the champions league this season we should understand that there are circumstances that led to the success of the comeback which included the team strength a d aswell as the cards the opponent git on that day which caused them some kind of psychological restrain and somehow weaken their performance which was an opportunity for PsG to take advantage of,

In this case it's a different team and you can recall that the Germans have got a different style of playing as compared to the Spanish a d even the french which we say in the last few games which PSG has had happened to play against these teams from these leagues. The Germans (Dortmund) are more defense conscious and utilizes opportunities they get to counter their opponent, meanwhile the Spanish (Barcelona) are very much attack minded and Don't get to fall back to their defense almost immediately so it's easy to harvest a whole lot of goals from them.

Dortmund may definitely not allow the same thing that happened against Barcelona with PSG to be their fate so I will not be totally surprised if I get to see the game ending in a draw or probably Dortmund getting to win PSG or PSG winning with the same goal margin a s they have to play a penalty shoot out to determine the winner so it's definitely not promising to be an easy one for either teams .

PSG can indeed make a comeback but I think they achieved that after they made a very big advantage, where one of the Barcelona players made a blunder that resulted in a red card. If at that time Barcelona had continued to play with 11 men, I don't think PSG would have qualified for the semifinals. This is clearly different from their current condition because it is not certain that something like that will happen again. However, even though they lost 0-1 in the first leg against Dortmund, PSG still has quite a wide opportunity because they will be playing at home in the second leg.

Of course PSG's chance of being able to turn things around is still very big in the second leg because they will play at their own pace and we can see the strength of both teams in the first leg that PSG's quality is very good, it's just that they are a little unlucky because they created so many opportunities failed to convert into a goal.
I think Luis Enrique knows what to do in the second leg and it must be admitted that PSG's performance was better in the Champions League match compared to their domestic league match.
Dortmund also cannot be underestimated, in the second leg PSG will be slightly favored to be able to turn things around, but overall I am sure the match will be quite fierce.

PSG still has plenty of potential, we certainly haven't forgotten about the quarter-final first leg match against Barcelona. PSG were defeated in the first leg of the quarter-final against Barcelona, but in the second leg they secured the semi-finals by beating Barcelona by a large margin at their home ground. PSG lost their semi-final first leg match against Dortmund but it's definitely a good thing for PSG that they didn't lose by multiple goals. Winning by two goals at their home ground is not difficult for PSG if they play at their best. Manager Luis Enrique is certainly planning with every player in the team as well as providing opportunities for qualified players in every position. PSG should only play the normal game well, if they play the normal game correctly, the final will be guaranteed for PSG.

Dortmund has been successfully defending from PSG's attacks but it's all caused by dortmund was lucky enough. I meant the fact that if dortmund could have lost the first leg if mbappe's shoot was going through the goal keeper and it was hitting the back of the net.

PSG has been trying so hard but it was always hitting the ball. Even when it was hitting the bar and it was getting deflected to be away and back to the penalty box. I think the second leg will be very different. dortmund must be fully prepared to face intensive attacks from PSG since the first half.

I hear you on Bayern and Dortmund. We've seen that matchup a million times, right? Classics can become predictable. In high-stakes knockout football, anything may happen. These old adversaries know each other well, which might increase intensity. We may see something unexpected in this match. Real Madrid vs. PSG? The Bernabeu will be insane, and that energy propels Real Madrid like nothing else. The Champions League legacy is incredible; they always find a way when it counts. PSG has all-star firepower, but the Bernabeu's pressure and Real's clutch gene? I think Real could win this one

I am also quite interested in the cross-league final scheme where Madrid as representatives of La Liga play against representatives from Ligue 1, namely PSG. Because if the first scheme is Bayern Munich vs Dortmund, of course we have often seen it in the Bundesliga and we are not too impressed with the results. But because this is the UCL anything can happen, in terms of probability I am still optimistic that Madrid playing at home will really dominate, Tuchel troops at home seem to be controlling the game but at some moments Madrid can still get out of the pressure. A draw in Leg 1 was a loss for Bayern Munich because that match was the only way to take a position at home.
What about PSG vs Dortmund which is now 0-1 on aggregate? So PSG ideally can still catch up if it's 1 goal + playing at home. Enrique also learned a lot from the previous defeat against Barcelona. Guests should not be underestimated because Dortmund has players with a high mentality to do everything they can to increase their advantage.

That's right, maybe the second leg will determine which team can win. Even though PSG lost in the first leg, of course Dortmund cannot feel safe, because there is still a second leg where PSG might be able to turn things around, like PSG's match with Barcelona. Even though I know that all teams certainly have their own performance, there is nothing that can rule out the possibility that PSG can turn things around.

If I had to choose between these two teams, I would choose PSG because I've always had a cloud over PSG but I'm not a big fan and it's just an option to choose. but in different leagues of course I have my own team choices, I just choose and follow the excitement of each match that takes place.

Now everyone will be more focused on the second leg to see which team will qualify for the final round, because Dortmund also cannot be satisfied with their one-goal win in the first leg. This is because PSG, who will play at home in the second leg, will definitely try not to lose to Dortmund, so the Dortmund team itself must also try to be better because getting to the final always requires a very hard fight. Especially for teams that will play away like Dortmund, where Dortmund cannot make any mistakes in the second leg match.

I don't see that there will be an ideal final this season, because in my opinion it would be an ideal final when Real Madrid met Manchester City in the final, but instead they had to meet in the quarter-finals. With no intention of underestimating other teams, this season Real Madrid looks very ready, even though in this semifinal their job is not finished because they still drew in the first leg.
The results of Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint Germain in the first leg are actually enough to make the competition more interesting. The reason is that Paris Saint Germain is 1-0 behind on aggregate, it will make it more difficult for them to be in the final. Moreover, if we look at the game between these two teams, in fact they are not much different or in other words their strengths are almost the same.

Dortmund vs Madrid will probably be a possible final although it is more ideal if we might see PSG and Madrid in the final later, Dortmund are in better shape after they won 1-0 in the first leg, although it is not safe enough to be sure of qualifying for the final but I think they have a bigger advantage than PSG despite playing at home,  So far PSG game has been quite impressive but it is difficult to say if they will easily turn things around in the second leg, I think will be difficult to beat PSG at home so maybe Dortmund will be defensive game options will be used in the match to secure their victory so far, of course by continuing to launch a counterattack against the PSG defense later.

Madrid drew with Munich of course makes Munich job even harder at the Bernabeu later, of course we all remember what happened to Manchester City in the quarter-finals yesterday, so I think Madrid will definitely repeat what they did to City when they meet Munich later, I think Munich mistake was to let Madrid score at allianz arena in the first leg of the semi-final.

Clowns Indeed 
When you expect a top quality performance, they all go back Into their shells and relax. One to Nil lose to Borrussia Dortmund was not expected. But then, it's not over you see, they have to win with two goals to nothing in the next fixture. I believe in Luis Enrique, he has experience and there is something he can do.

Bayern Munich have only the Champions League Competition as the only one for them to win this season, with the poor performance from the Bundesliga this season, I see they will be giving a 200%. performance against Real Madrid as they travel to Los Blancos ( Santiago Bernabue ) next week.
During the first leg, Real Madrid didn't give me that vibes of being the winners this year, something has got to be missing truly.

Its seems little possibilities behind Dortmund vs Madrid in the UEFA Champion League final match because both team have positive result for first leg match, but Dortmund position lead one goal over PSG not secure yet how PSG trend currently always had impressive performance on second leg match after losing at the first leg. Actually the interested final match of Champion League this season between PSG vs Real Madrid but losing first leg get difficult for PSG make come back and win over two goals.

Real Madrid got not bad capital at the first leg match after getting draw, get benefit on second leg match on their home has more motivate for qualifying to final round and raise to be most winner Champion League trophies up to 15 time. I see Madrid had good perform when playing home and won't loss opportunity after eliminating Manchester City in quarter final as most favorite team.

This was definitely a surprise for almost all of the people. Everyone expected PSG to win this match. But I guess we can say that this was the home ground of Dortmund. that’s why they were able to win this match. But Dortmund did not dominate this match. It was pretty even competition. I think even though Dortmund is going to have an advantage going into the second leg, it is probably not going to be enough for them to go through the final of the Champions League. if for some reason that happens to be true, if PSG is not in the final match of the Champions League, it is definitely going to be hilarious. Because nobody expected anything much from Dortmund to be honest. And now they have already been able to win the first leg.

Imagine how it would be if Dortmund actually won the Champions League! That would be the greatest achievement for them in probably the last decade.

I don't know, wouldn't it be more like watching a Bundesliga game?    The best thing I can say about such finale would be the choreographies and special shows they can prepare. I still remember the ones they did in the finale between these teams in the 2012/2013 season. I must admit Germans are also really good at this.

What I expect is also the same as you depending on Dortmund's playing style in the rematch. But what I want is rather a Real Madrid - Dortmund finale. The previous matchups between them were really great to watch. It would be nice to see them face each other in a finale this time. 

Partially, I would agree with you. In the case of Real Madrid they are still said to be the favourite. It will be on extreme luck if Bayern should beat Madrid at Santiago. I doubt if it is possible, since Bayern failed to lead Madrid in their last match not  essentially with much goals but at least a goal difference as an evidence of them playing at their home.

PSG are already having a hard time beating Dortmund, I still wonder what will be the outcome of the game and I would not as well say PSG performance in their last match was that poor only they were not able or lucky converting their goal scoring attempts. Despite the fact that Dortmund is already leading with a goal difference, I think it is still a 50:50 chances for any of the team qualifying, since PSG will be playing home I believe they will increase their productivity in the coming fixture.

Overall PSG actually didn't perform badly in this first leg match, it's just that they were a little unlucky, in terms of performance PSG was quite good and PSG players were able to make a lot of attacks and if we look at the statistics PSG is a little better than Dortmund and With the result of losing by 1 goal in the first leg, I don't think it will be that difficult for PSG to turn things around in the second leg.

In the second leg, I think the match will be much fiercer, PSG, who are behind by 1 goal, will definitely play more aggressively at times and if we look at the strength of the PSG and Dortmund teams in the first leg, I am sure that PSG will most likely be able to turn things around.
