UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Ndabagi01]

Well for every reason possible the odds are against Bayern and the other remaining teams because of the strength and might of Real Madrid but I would have cancelled this if it was a few seasons back when Bayern were also at their prime. The thing about Bayern Munich now is that they have the players but it's the system of play that's currently not working out because they seem to lack preciseness when it comes to winning games and this is an area where Real Madrid are actually specialist.

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.

Happy when Madrid qualified for the Semifinals. I thought Madrid would fail but I was wrong. Madrid have made history, they were able to thwart Man City to the semi-finals. Last year they failed because of Man City. For now they are able to turn things around. I'm sure a lot of people who lose bet. But next they have to fight Munich, it's Anceloti's tough task. But I'm quite optimistic Madrid will qualify for the FInal. Because the toughest opponent I think is only Man City.

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.

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.

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.

There's no reason for Madrid to underestimate Bayern
They have always been one of the most dominant team in the UCL in recent years so caution would be employed while playing them no matter their form.
Madrid can be considered a favored child in UCL
No matter their form
They always are the likeliest to win the trophy and who ever manages to win them has already won the UCL.

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.

[Velvet78]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

-snip

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.

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.

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.

Bayern Munich this season is much different and of course Real Madrid is no longer under so much pressure because Bayern Munich's quality and performance has decreased significantly compared to last season.
It is true that the rivalry in the UCL between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich was quite fierce several seasons ago, but we also have to look realistically now that Bayern Munich's chances are not much greater than Real Madrid's to advance to the final.

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.

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.

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 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.

[xzone]

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.

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

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.

[topbitcoin]

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.

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.

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.
