Topic: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season - page 97. (Read 141870 times)

This is going to be the first time since 2012 Bayern Munich has played football without having a single trophy, it more than 12 years since Bayern Munich experience this kind of failure that's why I doubt the stay of Tuchel for next season coaching Bayern Munich. Why sub off your main players, like what was he thinking because the fact that Real Madrid didn't have any goal yet and he never change his forward speaks a lot but he was so dumb to remove Kane.

Loosing the Champions League is one of the most painful part of their journey this season, they were giving what was supposed to be given to Real Madrid but that Joselu substitute devoid everything in that game and I was pissed off again for the fact that the time added 14 minute 35 second for extra time and all they could think of was to shift blame about offside that was obvious, poor Tuchel will probably be looking for another club right now.

First of all, if there was no mistake made by Bayern Munich, Real Madrid wouldn’t have had any chances to actually go to the final. The goalkeeper of Bayern Munich actually gave Real Madrid the chance. A goal happened because of his mistake. Of course, there was the controversy of the referee making a bad decision. And of course, it was a bad decision. The thing is if the lineman raises his flag the referee generally does not blow the whistle instantly. He keeps the game going and if there is a goal it is checked on the VAR. if there is no goal, the game goes on without interruption. probably in this case the referee thought that it was not going to be a big deal and the play would stop. I do not think that he had any idea that eventually it is going to be a goal. Because if he had that thought, he is now being accused of fixing it.

Anyway, Real Madrid is now in the finals of the Champions League competition and they are going to face Dortmund. I hope that match is not going to be one-sided as many people are predicting it to be.

The match yesterday between Bayern and Real Madrid was one that showed the reason these teams are considered as heavyweights across Europe as both teams were very high on pressing each other. The match had a display of individual skills and collective efforts in a bod to chase victory for your team. Though out of the blues, Bayern were able to get the first goal in the match and that was beyond the expectations of so many of us as we believed Real will be very comfortable in the match.

 Despite Bayern taking the lead, Real Madrid still weren’t relentless as they were more eager to please their fans. ⁠I think one bug advantage Real Madrid had was the home advantage as that was able to play a very big role in them winning that match. Yes Real Madrid showed why they’re comsidered as the big boys of Europe by getting the win. They were able to capitalize on what Bayern thought to be tactical change to the match and they got the victory.

 ⁠Bayern were still able to fight for a late equalizer but their hopes was shattered with the whistles of the ref canceling out the goal to be an offside and that was a bad one. This win is a big one for Real Madrid and another that makes them to be seem as the major contenders for the title because I think Dortmund won’t be able to stop them in the finals.

A lot are already blaming Harry Kane to always be with bad luck and take it to every team he’s playing in, but to be fair, it’s not his fault and if you can see his individual performance in the Bundesliga and champions league it shows that this player is given his all and just not lucky to have win any trophy since the start of his career. Soon, hopefully by next year he’ll get to lift a trophy with Bayern Munich. This is just not anyone expected for him but circumstance happens and he is a victim of those circumstances. Next season will be better for him and will get to lift a trophy to his career record for the first time.


The game changed immediately Bayern Munich scored their first goal and Real Madrid took total control of the game and didn’t allow Bayern Munich to get possession of the game again. Many missed opportunity but in the end they were able to utilise two of them which has given them the qualification for the finals. Real Madrid are preparing to win their 15th champions league trophy and their opponent is not a team that can stand their quality of play and that can easily give them the win for the trophy again this season.

It seems to me that there's some kind of conspiracy and I am not just ok with the apologies. It is better the apologies never came. This mistake is just too expensive to happen. Even if the lineman made a huge mistake, should the referee also join in making same mistake? Every thing just appeared fishy I must say. I am not happy about this expensive mistake. In as much as Madrid worked hard, especially Vini Junior and deserve a win, it should be done in the right way.
I don't know if it would have been more interesting to see German - Garman finals or Garman - Spain finals.

The second goal was considered a bit controversial because it was thought that the Real Madrid players were in an offside position, but the referee had a different opinion so the goal was legalized. Real Madrid really have a winning mentality because they managed to come back in extra time and this further emphasizes that when facing Real Madrid before the referee blows the whistle the sign that the match is over is not safe. Tuchel tried to defend when they managed to break into Real Madrid's goal so that there was a lot of empty space that Real Madrid players could exploit.

Ancelotti tried to increase the attack by bringing in several substitutes and it was proven that the substitutions he made gave good results so that they managed to score two goals against Bayern Munich. The final will bring together Real Madrid vs Dortmund and I think Real Madrid will have a slightly greater chance of winning the Champions League this season compared to Dortmund.

From my neutral point of view, I am very unhappy when the referee who officiates a big match makes a fatal mistake that harms the cause of one of the teams in a big match like the Champions League. The referee and all his staff must be neutral towards all teams without taking sides, that is their obligation even though sometimes mistakes can occur unintentionally. But what is the use of VAR if such incidents are not used for review, but I still want to say; thank the referee for his leadership.

I know that Bayern Munich's second goal could change the situation and force the match into extra time. However, I was never sure that Bayern Munich could win the match when Real Madrid appeared so enthusiastic. But whatever it is, a mistake is still a mistake even if the referee and linesman are willing to apologize.

In the end, Real Madrid won the match even though previously they had difficulties because the Real Madrid players seemed to have difficulty breaking down Bayern's very strong defense, until finally Joselu shook off the deadlock that occurred on the field. He was able to play smartly by obeying what Ancelotti said. Fortunately, he was able to score a goal. As soon as he was put on the field to replace Federico Valverde in the 81st minute he was able to score a goal just 7 minutes later. I couldn't stop being happy because Madrid could turn things around in 10 minutes.

Madrid will continue in the next round to play the final with Borussia Dortmund. I think Madrid will win the UCL final later. I believe Madrid has a bigger chance of winning the UCL. In terms of appearance, Madrid is clearly ahead of Borussia Dortmund, but we also shouldn't underestimate their opponent, even though seems weaker because surprises can still occur.

That is why it is good not to lose hope in a football match until the referee blows the final whistle. Even in the days of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich matches in the UEFA Champions League are always tough, and Real Madrid used to come from behind to beat Bayern Munich. Even when Bayern Munich was leading Real Madrid, I still believed that Real Madrid would level with Bayern Munich before the match ended. I was much happier when Joselu scored his second goal to give Real Madrid the lead in extra time.

Real Madrid eliminated Bayern Munich with Joselu's goals in the last minutes.I must say that I followed the match in a stressful way until the last minutes.Real Madrid increased the pressure after falling behind 1-0 against Bayern Munich.Real Madrid, who had many scoring positions and failed to take advantage of them, managed to hold on to life with 2 goals scored by Joselu.Obviously, I would have liked to see a German derby, but Bayern Munich could not do much in the last 10-15 minutes.

This one is quite unfortunate. And I understand De Ligt's protests. In fact, this is one of the referee's decisions that is detrimental to one of the parties. Even though Real Madrid deserved to win that match, I agree with De Ligt's words that rules are rules. And VAR should have been used at that time. But unfortunately that wasn't done. So it is natural that some are dissatisfied with the results. And not because of the result of the match but because of the line judge's decision which was considered inaccurate. Even though it's at the end of the match, checking the VAR actually still has to be done. I am happy that Madrid won that match. But I also feel quite sorry for what happened to Bayern. The referee did apologize, but the apology was actually useless because the match was over.

I don't think the same thing will be applicable to the final. At the final, Dortmund will be meeting with one of the Champions of the Champions league. In fact, Real Madrid is the club with the highest champions league trophy. Any club that will be meeting with the real Madrid must be very ready and expectant of any result. They should not be over ambitious and at same time not discourage. But no matter how motivated you want to keep Dortmund, it cannot erase the fact that they are meeting with the Champions league giants and must come 'too' prepared.

Dortmundi had only won the champions league once and that was in 1997. Afterwards, they haven't had the opportunity again. But Real Madrid is already familiar with what it takes to win the Champions league including the previous once they won. Although there are different sets of players today, the morale and the management of the club will make them coordinated and powerful over the oppositions.

Vinicius is a very skilled player and he could be the mastermind behind why Real Madrid appeared so enthusiastic throughout the match. Vinicius always opens Real Madrid's eyes and hopes to win the match with his high fighting spirit, but this player also has shortcomings which ultimately make him hurt in other ways.

Real Madrid's victory over Bayern Munich was debated, both coaches even commented on several controversial moments in the match. I know there is disappointment in Tuchel and Bayern Munich's camp, but Real Madrid also have a defense which should also be something to consider. I was very enthusiastic about Real Madrid's victory yesterday, it was phenomenal and historic.

Reus isn't the player he used to be anymore. I liked him a lot in the past although he got all these injuries because of his weak physical resilience, but in the last game against PSG sometimes he didn't give his best. There were like two situations in the game where he slowed down because he wasn't willing to run the extra mile. But for someone like Hummels I think it would be amazing. He is always risking it all and sometimes makes mistakes, but that didn't stop from playing on the highest limit possible, never pulling back and landing these tackles and then he even scores the goal. Quite amazing story.

But you said something very important: everyone thought that Man City would destroy Inter Milan and it was truly a 50/50 match and City's goal was scored with luck if I remember correctly as it got deflected. Inter could have won the game, too. I think Dortmund knows what to do, they have shown it in most of the CL games and it will be a great game.

Although Kane still failed to get a trophy with the team but at least, Kane still managed to have an individual trophy about being the top scorer. Also, there is still a chance next season and hopefully Bayern Munich can again dominate the Bundesliga, at least so that Kane manages to get a trophy with the team. Because ofcourse, to win the Champion League trophy is really not easy, so it is natural that Bayern Munich still fails at this moment. But yes,let's just look forward to who the new coach is for Bayern Munich next season, because if Bayern Munich appoints the right coach, then of course it will be a better chance for Kane to experience winning trophies with the team.

It was a surprised to many people the way the semi-final ended for the favor of Real Madrid, because Bayern Munich first Real Madrid to secured goal in the second half to make Bayern Munich have hope of winning the game but the game turned for the favor of Real Madrid.

It was a shocked for Real Madrid to equalized the goal 1:1 in the same second half and struggled to secure another goal in the extra time to eliminated Bayern Munich to qualified for final stage.

Based on what Borussia Dortmund did to PSG in their home to eliminated them from the semi-final, I guess they will do the same thing to Real Madrid in the final stage because they have good defenders that are very solid to block Real Madrid not to score a single goal from this final game to lift the trophy.

Up till this moment, no explanation was given as to why the linesman and referee refused not to give Bayern Munich their late minute goal. It is just today, the linesman said sorry for what happened. Tuchel feels furious and betrayed about the whole scenario of how the linesman and referee refused to give them their late minute goal against Real Madrid or make use of the VAR to check whether it was an offside goal or not

That goal was a very big flop on the side of Neuer. Without such mistake, Real Madrid wouldn't have won the match, I know Neuer must have been regretting his inability to at least push the ball to the side if he can't catch it at once. That would have been the reasonable thing to do since he was very close to Joselu and any mistake could be expensive. This was his mistake that cost them the final.

I love how Real Madrid never gives up even when it looks like they would lose the match. It will be a big showdown with Borussia Dortmund at the final. 

I think tuchel actually made the error when he taught he could hold Real Madrid off by making that substitution in the game where he removed Harry Kane and brought in defensive players to try contain the pressure. Real Madrid are a side that doesn't relent when it comes to haunting for goals and they did that very well when the substitute joselu came in the game.

Yes, I think even though everybody agrees that the referee might have made a very big mistake, the decisions that the Bayern Munich coach has taken were definitely not really smart. He put on the worst players that he could find at a very crucial time. He really substituted Kane out for Choupo Moting. I did not understand that decision at all. I thought in general he would like to have the best players that you have on the field when it counts. Maybe he actually thought that they were going to win the match and that’s why wanted to Sub them off and maybe save them for another day.

But he should realize that Real Madrid is a team that plays till the end of the match. Unless the referee has blown the final whistle, they keep playing. Of course, the decisions from the referee have been a little questionable. But that does not disregard the fact that his decision-making was really poor. If this was any other coach I think it could have been a very different result for Bayern Munich. And another thing that a lot of people are not talking about is the mistake from Neuer.
