Freakin' CL second leg, I had 100% loss record for my bets Grin

Welp, it's nice to see two EPL teams making it to the top 4. I think only a handful of people expected Chelsea to go this far but the QF draw might have help them (even for a little bit).

Another tough draw for PSG after ousting Bayern. They deserve to reach the Finals and win it all.

Finally, we have four teams remain in 14th UCL. The semi-finals has been scheduled as below:

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City
Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Final Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain and I'm expecting the 14th UEFA Champions League loaded in for PSG, change my mind.

It's true that the Champions League competition is getting more and more interesting, because only 4 teams are left at this time. And I am very happy
that the team that qualifies for the semi-finals is indeed very worthy and has the same opportunity to become champions. From the two matches
in the semi-finals of the Champions League, I am very enthusiastic about the PSG vs Manchester City match. Because in addition to having lots of
quality players, both of them also have very healthy finances. For me PSG vs Manchester City is like a final game, but I believe Manchester City can
beat PSG with Guardiola's strategic abilities. I can't wait for the PSG vs Manchester City match.

FOODEEEENN!!!  NIIICE!! 

Someone’s gonna get laid tonight.  Cheesy  BVB gave the kid space, he most definitely finds the goal.  Tho it was from a corner but the confidence on this kid. 
Foden has grown up too much in this season in Manchester City and Jadon Sancho has a bad one in Dortmund. They are young players and have yet been able to keep their stability in performances.

Dortmund was out of Champions League and I don't believe that Haaland will stay in Dortmund for so long with low odds to win trophies.


I expect to see those big matches in the semi final round too.


What we expected yesterday comes true today, mate.  Wink
I think it is an ideal semi-final with most expected teams there. Even we miss Bayern in the semi-final stage, but I think PSG deserves to eliminate them.
Next, let's see which teams potentially go to the final stage. Personally, I expect PSG vs Real Madrid in the final stage, as I said before. That will be an interesting final!
Bayern Munich had to pay costs for too many missing opportunities in the first leg. The injury cases in latest weeks affect them too much especially the absence of Lewandowski. Simple thought that the replacement for Lewandowski is Choupo-Mouting. He scored 2 goals but missing a few and his connections to other team mates are not good as same as Lewandowski.

Mouting is only a substitution in PSG and he did not manage to join the squad team.

It was interesting to see that the Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City game ended with the same result as the first leg.

In the other game of the night, I was expecting to see goals, but everything was zero.
Real madrid vs Liverpool was kind of a boring match, even though we've seen some chances here and there but goals mostly what makes the game more exciting, if liverpool managed to score a goal it would have been way better, not actually surprised to see this result tho.

It wasn't obvious that all the games had been settled from the very first leg of the quarter final. All the teams were equally mat hed and as such, the team with the first match advantage just took the phase. No chance for a come back! Dortmund today deceived us all, after showing a promising start in the first half by scoring the first goal of the day. They still allowed Manchester City to run them down by coming back to beat them by Dortmund 1-2 Manchester City. Dortmund couldn't have won anyway but, they couldn't have put up a good game, at least a win or draw instead of loosing both home and away.
Liverpool wasn't fit for this UCL and they deserve what they've got and that is, elimination. Real Madrid has got a slot in the finals. So, let's just look forward to the teams that would play against them in the finals.

City was expecting to win and go to the next round. While i was watching the real madrid liverpool game was pretty much boring. Stupid tv channels only hosted that match and not the city one. Many misses in liverpool game and no goals. Real madrid with injured players went through to the next round pretty easily

Liverpool have to lift their suitcase and are willing not to win the title this season because they lost 1-3 on aggregate to Real Madrid with a score of 0-0 in the second leg, and statistically Liverpool outperformed the game.
Apart from Chelsea and Manchester City, Liverpool are the only England representatives to have appeared embarrassingly in the quarter-finals this time around, and although they did well, they did not qualify for the next round.
Thus, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG are the four teams that will compete in the semifinals of the Champions League this season, and it will be a very tense and prestigious match in the semifinals later.

I think it’s City vs Real at the final.  Obv the more likely outcome...  But who knows.
I hope Pep and Zidane's men can meet in the final this season and it will be a great game in my opinion. Although many thought PSG deserved to advance to the final, I have a lot of hope for Manchester City this season. UCL must be Pep's greatest achievement while at Manchester City.

I was also quite surprised that the Dortmund vs Manchester City match ended with the same score as the first leg. But my prediction is
correct for Manchester City to finally qualify for the semi-finals, even though Dortmund has given their best. Dortmund scored a goal first,
but unfortunately Manchester City managed to score 2 goals in the second half. And make Dortmund have to get out of the Champions League.
For the Liverpool vs Real Madrid match, it was disappointing that not a single goal was created. Because Real Madrid looks more focused
on defending, because they have won on aggregate. But I do predict that Real Madrid will qualify, but did not think that the match ended
in a draw in this second leg. Congratulations to Chelsea, PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid who made it to the semi-finals.

First half was really stressful for City after they conceded gaol. They had some good moments, like when de Bruyne hit crossbar or header by Zinchenko. 2nd half was more confident and they fully deserved to win this game and go to semifinal.
Liverpool - Real. I didn't watched this game, so it's difficult to comment something about it. But it's something strange that we didn't saw any goals scored in this game.
Semifinals:
Real - Chelsea
PSG - City

And yup...  You could see the concern on KDB’s face when he got back out on the pitch after HT.  He looked like he had an adrenaline dump.  I wonder what Pep told him.  Lol.

I think wagering on Bayern to win but PSG to progress would have been a very risky one, sure it happened and that was profitable to anyone who did it, but you are saying like one or two results could apply and that would have been the only chances, any other result and you are losing that bet, a tie would lose it, psg winning would lose it, bayern winning 2-0 would lose it, bayern at 3-2 would have been fine I guess but it would be overtime so maybe they would get it, there are so many things that could have gone wrong.

This is why I think I would avoid a bet like that, of course it is a personal preference thing, everyone can continue to do whatever they want, but at the end of the day I would personally avoid it. Same goes for liverpool as well, I wouldn't really trust that bet, sure liverpool may win and real could still go up, but that is way too risky for me.

To progress into the Semifinals you are going to need to score golas and this is what was lacking for Liverpool today,
Real Madrid, who is physically exhausted, his solutions were numbered because the offensive thinking needed fitness, so their weapon was killing the game then defended as a single block and not leaving the spaces and they succeeded in that despite some mistakes here and there .
Real qualified well despite all its circumstances And Liverpool came out after the end of the first half in this match, but today they returned to some of his old selves.

Yeah, Bellingham's goal made things stressful for City. They were at the risk of getting eliminated in the end. But Mahrez's penalty goal changed everything for them. And after that, Foden's great goal finished the job and it was really devastating for Dortmund. City definitely deserved to advance.

Not sure if it was a penalty or not for the regulation.
The rule says "no penalty if the ball touches the hands after it touched any other part of the players".

If Emre Can touched the ball with the head first, hard to say it was no penalty since it doesn't matter how large the position of his arm was since is not a point of the rule.

Liverpool and Mancity are still on the verge of doubt that they will qualify for the next round, seeing the current situation their opponents are strong enough, especially since Dortmund have scored a goal, of course Dortmund will be defended if they want to qualify.
It is now clear that Manchester City will qualify for the semifinal as they are 2-4 on aggregate. It was difficult for Dortmund to score 2 goals in the final minute of the match, I think Manchester City is now safe to qualify for the semifinal. PSG was waiting for them there.

PSG - Manchester City
Chelsea - Real Madrid

There are two English team in the semifinal, one of which I think will advance to the final this season.
