UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Cryptmuster]

You are right about the pressure on the players. I used to criticize PSG a lot and said that the performance of the players in the offensive line decreased due to the mistakes made by the defenders. As the number of star players on the team decreased, the players became more compatible. We can see this when we watch the team.

I don't think the Dortmund match will be easy. In the semi-finals, every team can advance to the final and we can watch matches with surprising results. I'm especially curious about what will happen in this matchup.

In my opinion, Enrique was able to make PSG more like a team than before, with each player wanting to showcase their individual qualities. I do not rule out that this is also happening because there are fewer stars in the team who demanded attention, now everything has become definitely clear, there is only Mbappe ahead and he has repeatedly proven that he can perform the functions of the main striker well. But now he is likely to leave the team, and this is another task for Enrique that needs to be solved...

[Obari]

The German team that I think they are going to surprise people this year is Dortmund,nobody expected them to go past the quarter final to the semi final of the UEFA league competition.They proved solid in their games from the group stage to where they are now,and they might be draw to face PSG in the semi final,which I think they will still win that tie,and go to the final.Dortmund is one team they under-rate,but I really see a strong United side there.
Their consistency in the champions league means that they have what it takes to win the league or better still come out as second place.

[Oluwa-btc]

Paris St. German's win over Barcelona in their last Champions League game brought in a new motivational spirit into the team, and which I believe that spirited effort will be introduced in their game between Borussia Dortmund, Definitely, it isn't going to be easy game for them but what I saw them do in the second half of that game was something interesting, Therefore, to achieve total victory, they need to put in extra effort and strength in the game because their opponent Dortmund isn't an easy side to face, especially when they play at home.

Even before the both games against Barcelona, They was seen as favorites in that game honestly, that first leg win Barcelona had gave them a chance but they couldn't impress during the second leg.
They'd want to put blames on Araujo, Yeah! I agree, he should be blamed in a way but still on, they should have been used to this red card and playing with one man down.

Paris Saint Germans are my favorites to move to the finals, much improvement have been seen since the group stage, so I'm sure Luis Enrique and hus lads would be hungry while playing this game.

Borrussia Dortmund did surprise me against Atletico Madrid, I was also predicting another Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid finals up in my head but they got dumped out.

[Alpha Marine]

Im still thinking PSG chances are really high, for a few things which I'm gonna write below.

First of all they have a super coach like Luis Enrique.

Most people underrate how good of a coach Luis Enrique is. They don't rate him that much because when he succeeded at Barcelona he had Messi, Neymar, and Suarez all at their peak. Enrique is a very good coach, among the best coaches in football currently. If you look at that PSG team you'll know that they don't have a world-class team. Mbappe is the only stand-out player, but he has been able to use them effectively.
When Barcelona got the red card against PSG in the second leg, I told people it was over. You can't escape from Erinque in that situation, he's too intelligent for that.

Third they play an easy semifinal against Dortmund, and the final is only ONE game where everything can pass.

I won't say the semi-final is an easy one but PSG are favourites. Underrating Dortmund would be a mistake. Nobody believed they would make it this far but here they are here. We know how football can be, see how unlucky Barcelona was, that can happen to anybody. All I can say is that PSG are favourites in this tie but it's not an easy draw for them.

Im still thinking PSG chances are really high, for a few things which im gonna write below.

First of all they have a super coach like Luis Enrique.
Second and super importnat, for the first time they are not below the main lights they are not a favorite to win the title, and they dont have anymore a super star team, like when they had Messi Neymar Mbappe. And this is less pressure for the players.
Third they play and easy semifinal against Dortmund, and the final is only ONE game where everything can pass.

I also saw this, many predicted that PSG would be much more favored to enter the next phase, namely the Final.
Of course, this year the team owner has been in the spotlight and a target plan has been made, the team owner has given directions to his subordinates on how to get this title this year. There is no need to waste the opportunities this year, it is not certain that next year they will be able to achieve what they are today. The main thing in the first leg match is that Psg must steal points at home to Dortmund if they want to advance them into the next phase. Even though it looks weak (Dortmund), PSG needs to be careful in the next match. Of course, both teams want to make history in the Champions League. Dortmund has read PSG's game movements, if PSG is not alert anything can happen and an early win will happen for Dortmund.

During the race to the semifinals, PSG and Dortmund were the teams that many doubted would qualify. It is a bigger bet to place odds on Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at that time. So now I don't want to judge something similar to what has happened. PSG can be said to be much more stable after the departure of star players Neymar and Messi. Enrique worked harder to maintain a balanced attack and proved his comeback against Barcelona was quite efficient. On the other hand, Dortmund also has an extraordinary mentality, meeting with PSG as a meeting between unexpected forces. The 2 big matches Bayern Munich vs Madrid and Dortmund vs PSG will both provide entertainment for us on the field. Any semi-final will be done, and performance in the Domestic League is no longer the benchmark.

It is natural that currently many parties are favoring Real Madrid to win the UCL. The reason is, in the quarter-finals Real Madrid was able to beat Manchester City, who won the UCL last season. Because of this, Real Madrid received a lot of support compared to the other 4 teams that qualified for the semifinals. Then in this semifinal, I think Real Madrid will have a slight advantage over Bayern Munich in the first leg. Even though the first leg of the semifinals will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters and this will of course provide a bigger advantage for Bayern Munich. However, the thing that Real Madrid benefited from in this first leg was because many Bayern Munich players were injured. Because currently, as far as I know, 7 Bayern Munich players are injured. And 2 of them are players who play on the right wing (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry).

So ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich has weaknesses in several lines and the worst is on the right wing. The reason is, two right wingers belonging to Bayern Munich are injured. And this will certainly benefit Real Madrid a little. So in this first leg, even though the match was held at Bayern Munich's headquarters, I personally prefer Real Madrid to Bayern Munich. And in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely appear superior because they will be playing at home. So if you look at the current situation, it is very likely that Real Madrid will win over Bayern Munich in two legs at once.

Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

 ⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

 ⁠Currently Bayern have about 7 of its main starters out on injury and with that number, you can already imagine Real dominating in the first leg at the Alianz Arena. If they will dominate that much ij the first leg which will be away from home, how much more will they do when they play the return leg in front of their fans. So you now understand why Real Madrid will probably be the winners. Psg are going to be a better opposition in the finals though but I don’t see them being able to stop Real Madrid at all.

[GxSTxV]

I expect more surprises this year after the great comeback of PSG against Barcelona, as well as Real Madrid managed to eliminate the strongest team in this competition which was Manchester City in my opinion, although the difference of strength and results between these teams doesn’t mean anything when they play against each other, each team are performing their best and it’s hard to expect the winner, even when the odds favoring a team with a bugger difference, most of the time as we have seen in Quarter Finals, the results were different and not as expected by the majority of fans.

Real Madrid is facing Bayern Munich with higher odds since Bayern Munich isn’t doing well this season after missing the Bundesliga after winning it 11 times strictly. However, We cannot be sure or confident, it’s all about assumptions, myself I predict this scenario; Real Madrid winning against Bayern Munich facing PSG at the finals and winning Champions League.

I will say that even if Bayern Munich have all their first eleven players on the field and all their substitutes fit, there is nothing that they will play to win Real Madrid. This is because Real Madrid is stronger than them currently, and Real Madrid have the attacking force it takes to destroy any club defense.

Real Madrid does not have home or away, as they can win anywhere that they are playing the game. Another thing is that whatever made Real Madrid to reach the semifinals Bayern is a small challenge for them to get rid of.

In 2014, Bayern Munich met with the Real Madrid at the Semi-finals of the Champions league for a contest like this and during that time, lost their game to Real Madrid with Real Madrid winning a goal over Bayern at their first leg in Madrid's home and scored a whooping 4 goals over none at the second leg in the Futball Arena Muchen stadium at the home of Bayern Munich. Then, Pep Guardiola was the manager of the Bayern Munich with the composition of star players like Mandzukich, Robben, Ribery,  Muller, Boateng and Alaba and the goalkeeper, Neuer was at his best too but they were beaten home by the Madrid with a 5-0 aggregates.

In 2018, Bayern also faced Madrid in another semifinals and lost again to the Madrid after the teams ended at a 4:3 lost against Bayern Munich in the second leg with Madrid winning over Bayern at Bayern's home in a goal difference.

In 2017, it was a quarterfinal fixtures and Bayern also lost to Madrid in a 6-3 aggregates with Madrid winning at both home and away.

Today, it's Tuchel's over Ancelotti and the first leg will be at Bayern's home, when Bayern is also faced with injuries right now. The chances of Bayern winning the first leg at this point  following the history of both teams, is very slim.

I won't say the semi-final is an easy one but PSG are favourites. Underrating Dortmund would be a mistake. Nobody believed they would make it this far but here they are here. We know how football can be, see how unlucky Barcelona was, that can happen to anybody. All I can say is that PSG are favourites in this tie but it's not an easy draw for them.

That's right, even though PSG is strong, they have to remain wary of Dortmund. We know the difference between the two teams is not that big and here Dortmudn has something that PSG doesn't have. It is clear that the mentality of the Dortmund players is stronger because they managed to reach the semifinals against a strong regular team. On the other hand, PSG also had a similar match, but when they face Barcelona, I think they will still get rid of Barcelona even if they lose in the first leg.

Maybe it would be better for PSG to prepare mentally and have a better strategy because Dortmund is not like Barcelona, which from the start of the season was doubtful that they would be eliminated. Even though Dortmund are not good in the domestic league, in the Champions League they always give different results and that is what PSG should pay attention to so that they can win with certainty without any mistakes that they have to fix.

Looking back at when the results of Leg 1 were finished where PSG had a bad result 2-3 from Barcelona and Dormund lost 1-2 to ATM. Most people including me, think Dormund and PSG will be eliminated. But after Leg 2 things turned around until PSG and Dortmund qualified for the semi finals. So 2 underdog teams are now facing each other to compete for power and I find it difficult to determine the bet. Honestly, I see that PSG under Luiz Enrique's coaching is starting to get better than last season, it looks more even in every line, especially the attack line where Mbappe places himself in a central position which is not his position. Then Dembele and Asensio act as balancers so they can focus more on accompanying the striker. This is Enrique strategy that we don't pay attention to when he has an opponent who is at a loss because the red card creates an opening and in manages to turn things around.

Facing Dortmund is actually a challenge because the PSG team will be guests in the 1st leg, as usual during the last 5 UCL matches at home Dortmund have never lost. PSG is challenged to conquer that, in my opinion it will not be easy to come out as winners.

PSG are stronger but on paper and desk only. On field, practically months ago, Dortmund shown that they are stronger than PSG with two matches, one win, one draw. Something changed in both clubs recent months but two matches previously in this season, are actually good confident support for Dortmund in semi finals.

They will not feel they are weaker than PSG and will start two semi final matches with high confidence about themselves and chance to beat the giant from Ligue 1.

Maybe it would be better for PSG to prepare mentally and have a better strategy because Dortmund is not like Barcelona, which from the start of the season was doubtful that they would be eliminated.

Dortmund probably have better team working ability that is important in knock out matches. Strong cooperation of players will help their squad very united and become stronger, harder to be beaten. Team working will be biggest strength of Dortmund in semi finals as they can not compare with PSG about star players.

Borrussia Dortmund did surprise me against Atletico Madrid, I was also predicting another Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid finals up in my head but they got dumped out.

PSG were not exactly favorites when playing against Barcelona and also, in the second leg Barcelona had managed to score an early goal and make the aggregate 4-2. But unfortunately, Araujo got a red card in the 29th minute and because of the red card and Barcelona only playing with 10 players, then PSG was eventually able to turn things around. With that factor, then I think that PSG just got lucky because of course, if Barcelona still played with 11 players and did not get a red card, then I am sure PSG would not be able to turn things around.

Again, PSG's luck continues in the semifinal match later, because PSG only meets Dortmund, because Dortmund at least a team that is really not predicted to qualify for the semifinal match. That way, this season or at this moment PSG really got lucky, so PSG has a great chance to qualify for the final match but if I consider about PSG's performance this season, I believe PSG will still fail.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Im still thinking PSG chances are really high, for a few things which I'm gonna write below.

First of all they have a super coach like Luis Enrique.

Having a super coach doesn't mean a team can play well because they can have a super coach and his coaching styles may not align with the players so in that case the team may not make progress. When PSG played against Barcelona in their returning leg, I saw players who were devoted to making sure that they take the team to the next stages of the champions league because at first when the champions league started, PSG were receiving a lot of criticism due to their poor performance but after their match with AC Milan in the group stage matches, they picked form and ever since then, they've been performing better.

Looking at what happened in the group stage, PSG indeed has the opportunity to be able to do the same thing, but of course everything will be different because if you look at it as a whole, the Dortmund team has also improved in performance so that the semifinal match between Dortmund and PSG will still be fierce and will definitely different from what happened in the group stage.

In the Champions League semifinals, all the teams that are in this round are certainly the best teams among the other teams that have been eliminated and the teams that are in the semifinals will of course prepare a better performance to be able to qualify for the final.
In my opinion, in terms of percentages, PSG and Dortmund are not much different, this will be very fierce.

Real Madrid, which has successfully eliminated Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, deserves to be said to be strong and is also quite likely to eliminate Bayern Munich again in the semifinals of the Champions League this season. Because Real Madrid can certainly play even more extraordinary when it is close to the final and this will definitely be quite visible when Real Madrid faces Bayern Munich in the semifinals this time. Whether it's in the first leg or the second leg because the semifinal match is a super important match for any team so more extraordinary things will definitely happen.

Paris St Germaine might be favourites, but I think Borussia Dortmund also have a chance, and I honestly feel like the winner of this tie will lift the Champions League trophy. This season is a season of the underdogs, even Real Madrid with all their stars and in form players might not find Bayern Munich an easy task, Bayern will be hoping to have their revenge on Real Madrid considering how Madrid have knocked them out in previous UCL competitions or history might jus repeat itself. I'm so hoping and waiting for this semi-final's upset, Champions League always delivers the best.

PSG has won french laegue and it has entered into the semi final of UCL, what's wrong by having a professional coach in the club? enrique has showed that how he has been successfully regenerating the club. It's also matter of time till mbappe is gonna leave from the club too.
Enriques was a good coach and PSG has proven that having a good coach gave so many benefits to the club. I remind you that if coach has a very important role in building the club.
Trust the process. This is what people forgot it these days. Even the good coach is obviously need time to develop its players.

[Palakka]

Paris St Germaine might be favourites, but I think Borussia Dortmund also have a chance, and I honestly feel like the winner of this tie will lift the Champions League trophy.

I'm so hoping and waiting for this semi-final's upset, Champions League always delivers the best.

There is no team to be underestimated in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, I think all the teams that have made it to the semi-finals now are certainly the best teams that can beat anyone, for now the two German teams actually surprised us because indeed from the round of 16 they were doubtful to qualify even to the quarter-finals because of their poor performance in the league,  But in fact we all see how they are able to beat strong teams to reach the semi-finals now, PSG's performance and quality are of course no longer in doubt because they are filled with many great star players, but Dortmund is not an easy team to beat because indeed their strong mentality and also resistant to pressure in the competition will certainly make it difficult for PSG.

Real Madrid is of course a strong candidate to be able to get the Champions League trophy this season, but whether they will underestimate Munich, of course not, as you said, so far Bayern Munich is also one of the experienced teams in the Champions League, just like Madrid of course Munich also has a strong mentality to compete for the Champions League trophy,  In addition, the pressure and hope of winning the only trophy left for them at the moment will of course be a big motivation for Bayern Munich to beat Madrid in the semi-finals, so I think the two semi-final games will be difficult for us to predict and maybe we will also see surprises that happen.

There is no way this current Bayern Squad will be able to knock out Real Madrid,and the reason Bayern was able to eliminate Arsenal  is because Arsenal had that inferiority complex in them,and the fear of the name Bayern made them make silly mistakes in the first leg.Saliba and Gabriel made the mistake that made Bayern get the goals they got in that game,and even when Saka had the chance of scoring the last minute goal,he missed it,showing that they are still inexperienced in the champions league.
And for Dortmund vs PSG,u think I'm giving it to Dortmund,PSG does not have what it takes to win that game.
