UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Plaguedeath]

The match Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich is really 50/50, both of the teams show a good fight. Since the first leg held in Bayern Munich's ground, I expect Real Madrid will win in the second leg.

You are right,Madrid have a strong defence that it is uneasy to break or penetrate,but Bayern also have that strong defence too.

Both of them don't have a good defense, but other teams also have this problem. The attacking line is sharper than the defending line, only both Inter and Porto have an above average defenders.

My prediction BVB 0-2 PSG

I would give 1 point to BVB, but in the end I agree PSG will win the match.

Last night's game just proved that the competition has got to a very competitive stage, I thought Real Madrid the most decorated team in this comp will get an easy result even going to win the first half.. but unfortunately the hosts had the last half as they forced the game to end in a draw which isnt bad for both teams considering away goal rule was scrapped off but still think Madrid should go through...

Today we have a game that might look like an easy route for PSG on paper but Dortmund didn't get here by accident and will give the French champions a run for their money but should still go through as they have more fire power.

My prediction BVB 0-2 PSG

Ancelotti surprised that for the second match in a row in the Champions League, Real played more defensively, and we can say that it worked for Real. They withstood the starting pressure and managed to score first, and in general Real looked more collected, they moved in a coordinated manner. The beginning of the second half was in favor of Bayern, they quickly came back and took the lead, but could not hold on to the victory. This is not the best result for Bayern, they needed to win at home, but it’s difficult to beat such a Real Madrid, and Bayern showed a good game.

It was satisfying to watch another match with plenty of goals above all else.    I would like to point out that the Bayern Munich we know would normally win this match. However we don't have that version of them this season. They found many valuable chances to score more goals but they were just so generous to waste them. Ancelotti's patient style is still bringing results.

As for the other semi final match today I would just love to see Dortmund winning. I believe they deserve the final more. I don't like PSG's game much this season and they had better be grateful for Araujo's big fault that helped them make a comeback.

The semifinal match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was a very tense game. They both trade attacks and look for opportunities to get rid of each other. As hosts, Bayern Munich looks to have a more promising attacking rhythm, but Real Madrid apparently has a fairly solid defense line. As a result, so many opportunities that Bayern Munich had were wasted. With this draw, Real Madrid has the driving seat ahead of the second leg because, in the second match, Real Madrid will play at home.

For Bayern Munich a draw is quite detrimental because the second leg will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu. If you look at the match as it progressed, Bayern Munich had far more opportunities to score goals, but the final finishing was still quite poor so they only managed to score two goals. Two penalties were awarded by the referee in the match and were awarded to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid respectively.

Real Madrid have a good defense and they are not in too much of a rush to attack so try to defend to frustrate Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich were unable to take advantage of Harry Kane's sharpness because they didn't get many opportunities and he only managed to score a goal through a penalty kick. The second leg will be much more tense and Real Madrid will be much more favored to qualify for the final.

They played more offensively because Bayern was playing the first match at home. That won't happen in the second game. Let's see what happens when Tuchel implements his own plan on Ancelotti. Real Madrid barely got away with it in Germany. They may not be so lucky in their own home. We will see if Bellingham, who played absent in the first game, will show himself in the second game or if his bubble bursts. He wasn't there in the quarter-finals either, these things are not like group matches. The point where the real players shine is after the quarter-finals. When big teams are playing against each other, if a player cannot show himself, he cannot prove himself.

[SmartCharpa]

This was just an incredible match. I actually wonder how Bayern Munich was unable to score any more goals in this match!!
Because they had a lot of chances. I guess I have to give credit to the defending of Real Madrid. Because they did a really good job and were always closing down players of Bayern Munich whenever they approached the final third of the field. The Real Madrid goalkeeper was also pretty good. The first goal that Real Madrid actually conceded might have been the fault of the goalkeeper actually. I think he should not have been beaten on the near post. But at the same time, Sané was given a lot of space and time as well.

Anyway, the second leg is going to be played in the home round of Real Madrid. I expect Real Madrid to win the second leg and approach the final of the Champions League competition.

If Real Madrid were the one having the chance that Bayern Munich was missing, I believe they would convert it into a goal. Sané and Musiala were just missing the chances they had in the first half, Sané saved his self with the goal he scored in the second half, or else the coach would blame him for the chances he missed in the first half. Honestly, I did not expect Bayern Munich to perform at that level, even though they hosted the match, Bayern Munich was controlling the ball more than Real Madrid in the first half. The first goal that Real Madrid conceded, was the goalkeeper's fault, he did not expect Sané to play the ball until I saw the ball inside the net.

Did you think Real Madrid will play more than this in Santiago? Though Real Madrid has more chances to win than Bayern Munich, the reason why they find it difficult to score goals, they did not have a striker in their mix. Ancelotti needs to work on that next season, even in the second leg if Bayern Munich performs as they did in the first leg, I think they will have a chance to eliminate Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich, playing at home, cannot beat Real Madrid, let alone the second leg which will be played at Real Madrid's home ground. Of course, the possibility of Bayern Munich winning is very small.

Regardless of the strategy used by the two coaches, it must be admitted that Real Madrid's performance and strength are much stronger than Bayern Munich.

In this first leg match I saw that both teams fielded their best players and indeed Ancelotti was quite astute in seeing opportunities and rotating players so that the team's performance could develop further and I think in the second leg Ancelotti will also do the same thing, I really believe in him because he is quite experienced trainer.

I have earlier mentioned last week that the games between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will most likely be ending in darws after which they will get to play a penalty shoot out to determine who's eventually going to in the game at the end of the day but then i think a few persons didn't take it seriously and now the results are beginning to roll out already because and somehow the reality of the whole situation may come to play.

Both teams re considered good and experienced in the champions, Bayern Munich may not have been very good in their domestic League this season but then i still see a better potential with them in the champions league their champions league performance has always appears much different from their domestic league performance since this season and they have actually been in good form in the champions league probably because they may be actually giving more attention to the champions league than they do with their  domestic league probably because it's importance attached to it.

Their next champions league fixture will be hosted by Real Madrid and playing from home has always mean strength for real Madrid but then this is quiet a different game as it's champions league with so much at stake for both teams already Bayern Munich has gotten two home goals and Madrid was able to cancel it by getting two away goals aswell too so this fixture a draw will only take them to penalty shoot out but a win for either side will take them to the finals because they currently appear even.

UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg was between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Two teams that have won the Champions League 20 times in total and played in the final 27 times in total that was a great pleasure to watch. Bayern Munich draw 2-2 to Real Madrid at their home. But I think the advantage is in Real Madrid. The second leg will definitely be very difficult for Bayern Munich because they have to play in front of Real Madrid supporters. Also we can say for Real Madrid a "winner" for the Champions League.

Also Luka Modric made history at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich, becoming the oldest player to feature in a Champions League match for Real Madrid at the age of 38 years and 234 days. Congrats Luka.

Bayern didn't look bad, they reminded me of City at some points when they tried to press Real, but Real's defense would have been good. It was important for Bayern to win, but as we remember, two draws were enough for Real Madrid in the quarterfinals to advance further. It may not be easy for Bayern to play a draw away, but Bayern will definitely not give up so easily, if they also will play away as good as they played at home, then nothing is over for them.

My prediction BVB 0-2 PSG

A late goal from Vinicius Junior earned Real Madrid a draw against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. I thought Real Madrid would win against Bayern Munich yesterday, but I was surprised to see the good performance of Bayern Munich in the second half, which made them score two goals against Real Madrid in the space of 7 minutes. Even though Real Madrid didn't beat Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena yesterday night, it was a good result for Real Madrid because they will not need to win against Bayern Munich with a certain number of goals when Bayern Munich visits them at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid just needs to beat Bayern Munich at Santiago Bernabeu to reach this year's UEFA Champions League competition finals.

[KTChampions]

Ancelotti wanted to start the game with a more careful way of game plan. Maybe he just wanted to execute the same plan he had against Manchester City. Honestly it worked once again.    Despite a comeback by Bayern Munich the final score is still useful for Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu considering they would play more effective there.

Bayern Munich could have actually won by 2-1. That penalty was so unnecessary by Kim Min-Jae. If he didn't do that Rodrygo was probably going to be blocked by the other defender there. Anyways I think the rematch will also finish by a close score but this time I expect Real Madrid to win in regular time and reach the finale.  

In any game there are episodes that could influence it in one direction or another, but I think that a 2-2 draw is a logical and fair outcome. Now the odds of a return game are as follows:

1.93 - 3.85 - 3.65

Real Madrid are a clearer favorite than Bayern were in the home game, but I want to point out that 1.93 is a pretty generous quote. I don’t think that Bayern can stay on equal terms with Real for 2 games and that Real will decide in extra time.

You are telling the truth. The point where Haaland is criticized the most is his inadequate performance in big matches. If he succeeds in this, Bellingham will have responded to the criticisms made about him. This is exactly where CR7 and Messi differ from others. They managed to become the best players at any stage. That's why they are the best in the world. Now Bellingham's rematch performance is a matter of curiosity. I hope it shows a performance that can meet the criticism.

As a result, so many opportunities that Bayern Munich had were wasted. With this draw, Real Madrid has the driving seat ahead of the second leg because, in the second match, Real Madrid will play at home.

What was most interesting about the match was how Ancelotti's squad could change the pace of the match according to whether they were in a favorable position or not. For example, Real Madrid went into defensive mode when they were ahead and became aggressive in attack after falling 1 goal behind. And back to more of a defensive mode when the score was equalized. This shows that Ancelotti does have a very mature strategy and can make the host quite difficult. And well this draw has indirectly benefited Real Madrid. Because in the second leg Real Madrid will clearly benefit more, especially in terms of mentality or confidence. Because it will be positioned as the host.

Today's Dortmund vs PSG match will probably be just as intense as the Bayern vs Real Madrid match. And it seems that many are favoring PSG even though Dortmund is the host.

I also felt the same tension when watching Real Madrid against Bayern because this is a prestigious match and of course those who win in the semifinals will advance to the final which of course after reaching the final will get good seats because there is the potential to become 1st place and runner up. .

Yes, as the host, Bayern played well and yes, I was also amazed by the technique used by Ancelotti which made the match a 2-2 draw and uniquely in this match, 1 goal was scored by 2 teams from a penalty kick from Madrid. Vini scored a goal via a penalty kick and other goals. while Kane from Bayern scored a goal via a penalty kick.

In the 2nd leg, it is clear that Real Madrid will have the potential to win, but if you look at Bayern's strength, it will certainly make it difficult for Real Madrid, but I personally have a feeling that Madrid will have the potential to win against Bayern, but of course the match in the 2nd leg will definitely be more tense because the match that will determine which team deserves to advance to the final round.

Of course PSG's match against Dortmund is no less tense than Real Madrid's match against Bayern. Yes, it seems like many people are favoring PSG to win, but I personally also predict that PSG will have the potential to win and advance to the final.

Yeah, if Real Madrid have that chances they could scored more than that, because Bayern Munich dominated every important aspect of the stats but the couldn't, i was never surprised with the result of the match, assuming Bayern Munich were in their best form i will be expecting winning with them especially when it was played at Allianz Arena and lost only two games in Allianz Arena since the season started.

I can confidently say that Real Madrid can win at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium because they have not lost any games at home, they remain unbeaten at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium since the starting of the season, and i don't see any consistency with Bayern Munich to break that record, the second leg is for Real Madrid.

The odds for Real Madrid win look really nice!    But it is for 90 minutes right, not including extra time?

Then the risk goes higher however I still see it as a reasonable risk to take to be honest. I believe in Real Madrid to beat this Bayern Munich without playing even extra 30 minutes. It is Santiago Bernabeu we are talking about. We shouldn't see another defensive game choice by Ancelotti. People who want to lower the risk can just bet on Real Madrid to qualify which is 1.52. I just don't give Bayern Munich a high chance to surprise us.

I'm okay with Real Madrid - Dortmund or Real Madrid - PSG finals both. 

[rdluffy]

I think Munich should be favourites today against Madrid especially if they will play at the Allianz Arena, so I think Munich have more motivation than Madrid to win the first leg, my prediction is maybe Munich will win by a narrow goal margin from Madrid today.

Well, hehe, I lost the bet even knowing that a draw was the most likely outcome
I could have followed my reason instead of the emotion of the game  
But it was worth it to watch another great game, and even more so that nothing is decided, the second game promises to be as good as it was against M. City, again

talking about the other semi final
I'm really looking forward to today's PSG match
Is it worth taking a chance on PSG winning or am I risking too much?

Bayern Munich gave real Madrid much opportunities to penetrate their defense. Real Madrid were lucky that they weren't playing a team like Manchester City and allow them take the lead to the dying minutes, they could not have equalized. But that has already happened, so Bayern has to get prepared in the second leg. If Real Madrid could come to their home and get a draw, same why they can go to Spain and get a draw from there or possibly win. Thank God the away goals rules don't count any more, so they are not in any away at disadvantage, if they know they can't get the win, they should push hard and get the match to penalty shootout. Once the game get to penalty shootout it's now a 50:50 chance to qualify.

The second leg will be much more tense and Real Madrid will be much more favored to qualify for the final.

You could say that, the draw at the Allianz Arena meant that Tuchel had to devise alternative tactics and strategies for his squad when competing at the Santiago Bernabeu. however, we don't know how the match will go in the second leg before the match takes place. So Bayern Munich still has a chance to win the match in the second leg even though the match will be held at Madrid headquarters. because after all, this is not the first time Bayern Munich has visited Santiago Bernabeu. moreover, the semifinal match in the second leg was the deciding match. It could be that the situation will reverse, Real Madrid will dominate the game, and Bayern will have to look for gaps to break through Madrid's defense. in particular, executing a quick counterattack.

Talking about last night's match, Bayern played quite well. Jamal Musiala was more dominant in controlling the ball and tried to break through the Real Madrid defenders. He tried to hit several shots, but it seemed like he wasn't calm enough to control the ball. however, Musiala contributed greatly to Bayern Munich's second goal. As for Kane, he actually played quite well, unfortunately of the 4 shots he fired, two were off the mark and two more were blocked by the Madrid goalkeeper. So in last night's match, Kane was only able to score from the penalty spot.

On the other hand, even though Die Roten excelled in possession of the ball, Real Madrid always found a way. No matter if they are pressured, Real Madrid can always keep up with their opponents. If Bayern wants to advance to the next phase, Tuchel must make the right strategy and tactics. because Madrid is playing at their own home. Apart from that, Don Carlo's team is not a team that panics easily, Madrid is a team that has a winning mentality in this competition compared to other teams. which means, Bayern Munich must be more alert when they visit Real Madrid's home ground.

You are telling the truth. The point where Haaland is criticized the most is his inadequate performance in big matches. If he succeeds in this, Bellingham will have responded to the criticisms made about him. This is exactly where CR7 and Messi differ from others. They managed to become the best players at any stage. That's why they are the best in the world. Now Bellingham's rematch performance is a matter of curiosity. I hope it shows a performance that can meet the criticism.

That is why Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi earned the nickname Greatest of All Time (GOAT). Because they are always extraordinary. When they were young we could see how their games always amazed us. Maybe now both of them are not as good as before. But still they are still extraordinary now.
Haaland doesn't have that yet. But this player will still get better because he is still 23 years old. But I would probably still say that no one has been able to match CR7 and Messi's level to date. And Bellingham is actually similar to Cristiano Ronaldo in that Bellingham is currently a quite productive attacking midfielder. In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo was also a very productive wing midfielder. I'm also curious about this player. And with him still being 20 years old, let's see what changes and improvements have occurred in this player. He had a big stage with Real Madrid. And he can't waste it.
