UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Jon pyagbara]

PSG haven't been dangerous enough so far in the way they have built their attacks. They certainly played attacking from the start, but so far they haven't found the goal they were looking for even though there were several good opportunities in the first half. Dembele, Mbappe and the others still failed to take advantage of this opportunity properly, the rest of the performance of Dortmund's defenders still made it difficult for PSG to score goals.

Dembele had to lower his ambition a little when in front of Kobel. If it is still possible to pass the ball to a colleague who is standing away, do not immediately kick from a narrow direction.
Earlier Dembele's opportunity could have resulted in a goal if he passed to Zaire-Emery with one or two touches.
PSG's courage to kick hard against Dortmund's goal was good.

PSG must be careful with Dortmund's counterattacks. Ademeyi was too fast for Marquinhos.
If Donnarumma is not ready, several times like what happened in the first half will result in goals.

I favor PSG to win this match. You?

I think PSG has been good in attack but unfortunately, Dortmund's defense is also playing well and disciplined and that way, it is still difficult for PSG to be able to score in this match. I'm just worried, when PSG is focusing on attacking and suddenly Dortmund counterattacks and if this happens perfectly, then it is very possible that Dortmund is able to score first in this match. But yes, maybe in the second half there is a good change that might make PSG succeed in making a goal but if PSG fails to win in this match then it is evident, PSG is still not strong enough to qualify because Dormtund is also still playing with 11 players in this match.

The whole match actually turned sideways for me because what I expected would happen didn't actually happen and Dortmund are still leading and with the way I see things, it's definitely going to be Dortmund in the finals because I can't see PSG scoring an equalizer and also winning the game because that's the only thing that might give them hope of atleast dreaming of securing a place in finals.

PSG is doing the playing and Dortmund is doing the scoring, at the beginning of the game PSG were so fast with the ball, but Dortmund managed to find a way to control the tempo of the game, now they lead by 1:0 on the night and 2:0 on aggregate, very impressive from the German team on yellow , I don't see PSG coming back in this game , though it's football and anything can happen when it comes to football, but to me PSG are out of the champions league.

[Felicity_Tide]

Dortmund took the lead with Mats Hummels' goal. PSG's job is very difficult now. If they score 2 goals, they will take the match to extra time. Dortmund defends tightly and is also looking for the 2nd goal. Dortmund is only half an hour away from the final. PSG panicked completely. If Mbappe can't pull a rabbit out of the hat, it looks like Dortmund will get their ticket to the final.

Psg looks threaten, but they've failed to put the ball at the back of the net. I told a friend sometime back that home advantage does not work in champions league games. As it stands, psg must score 3 goals in order to move to the final, but I don't think Dortmund would allow that. Enrique hasn't realized that psg football is built all around Mbappe. They need to start thinking outside the box, thereby learning how to compete and play without him.

Wow, great, Dortmund really did it.
0 - 1, and aggregate 2 goals for Dortmund.

In the 60th minute. Dortmund has been able to score another goal. so the aggregate became 2 - 0 in favor of Dortmund. It will be difficult for PSG to catch up if their playing style continues like this. Enrique must be able to immediately change tactics so that their attacks and counter attacks are even more effective. Ah, but they prioritize ball possession. PSG has been competing against Dortmund since the group phase, Enrique should already understand a little more about how Dortmund plays. But in fact, it still had quite an impact on him. It will be quite difficult for PSG to catch up with this deficit, 2 goals.

Mathematically, it would be slightly impossible to see PSG coming from behind to win this game, but anything can happen in football. I would love to see Dortmund progress to the final and, if possible, also win it. Though I am not a United fan, I want Ten Hag and the whole world to know that Sancho isn't as bad as the media and ten hag had said.

You are right, PSG has lost hope of scoring 2 goals in the remaining match. Dortmund were very disciplined in defense and they were also lucky not to concede several goals from the chances created by PSG in the second half. Honestly, I was disappointed with what PSG showed in this match, they didn't seem to have more enthusiasm when playing at home.

The match is almost over and the tension is increasing. Dortmund will only defend completely while hoping to build a counterattack, but PSG still tries to score goals even though they always fail.

I agree with you that PSG is doing the playing and not the scoring which will make them not qualify to the final. In the last twenty minutes of the match PSG has been pressuring Dortmund defense but no good result, because they don't have luck to break the deadlock.

Mbappe just missed a good chance of scoring in the extra time of the game. A lot of effort was made by PSG but it was not made for them to be in the finals, because I don't see what Dortmund played today, they were just lucky to be in the final.

There were many good opportunities that PSG players missed throughout the match, some of which hit the crossbar. I really think that today PSG has fought great, especially since Dortmund led the match 0-1. But luck was not on PSG's side even though they made 30 shots, 5 of which were on target.

Previously I didn't expect PSG to beat Barcelona in the quarter-finals, but PSG appeared impressive at that time, especially in the second leg. In the end, PSG failed to win the two semifinal matches and ultimately let Dortmund qualify for this season's final. No one expected Dortmund to go to the final when they were still in the last 16 and quarter-finals, but today they managed to secure that ticket.

[un_rank]

Dortmund are now through to the final. Great defensive and attacking play from them over both halves today and both legs during the course of 6 days. PSG out the pressure on as expected, throwing the kitchen sink at Dortmund and hitting the post and bar on many occasions over both halves.

What next for PSG? Mbappe moves on at the end of the season, do they replace him with a world class player or stick to their desire to build with young players building the team around the team.

I'm so happy Dortmund made it to the final. They deserved it. They didn't concede a goal to PSG in both games. In total 6 balls hit the post, but that's part of the game. PSG should have scored, they couldn't do that for 180 minutes. Today they had 30 shots, not a single goal. This cannot be explained. No one should say PSG played superior, they were better. Dortmund deservedly came here and deservedly reached the final. I hope they win in the final.

[Slow death]

PSG 0 - 1 Dortmund

Once again PSG failed to win the European Champions League, this time PSG was playing against an opponent who was not a great opponent, it was an opponent who was in the same group as PSG and PSG won, but even so psg failed to reach the final even though they were playing against this very accessible opponent if we take into account the other strong opponents in the European champions league such as manchester city, bayern or real madrid. With PSG's defeat and not being able to win the European Champions League, I believe it became easier for Mbappe to decide to leave the team

It's a fact that PSG has a lot of money, and is always becoming Ligue 1 champion. But the problem of being in a league of weak teams makes it difficult to assess to what extent PSG is strong or not. It seems to me that the PSG coach needs to take a good look at the current squad and make good signings in defense and attack because he has made a lot of mistakes when making the signings, in my opinion and when they get it right they let them go easily, PSG has already arrived they had a good squad, but they didn't have a good coach and they sold the good players. So it's difficult to understand if they really want to win the European Champions League or not.

[bering]

For the match PSG vs Dortmund i can see both teams were playing carefully since the beginning of match because seems they don't want to concede first so that's why in the first half the match looks boring and the situations has been change after Dortmund can utilized free kick and Hummels can scored but after that goal PSG was playing with very aggresive even they gets the opportunity to scores from Vitinha but unfortunately shot attempts from Vitinha was hit the crossbar and indeed i have to says Dortmund was performing well and their players were very discipline to guarded their defensive lines

As the favourite i expect PSG will be able to beat Dortmund but unfortunately they have to lost today besides that i have seen Mbappe didn't performing well and he hasn't gets much opportunity to scores and for Dortmund congratulations for them because they can advances to the final match and this is very surprising result because since the beginning of season most people didn't considers them as the favourite but Dortmund has been prove to us that they can beat their opponents since knock out stages and now playing at the final match and it's interesting to see who will be their opponents in the final whether it Real Madrid or Bayern Munich

Yea, a lot of people haveost their bet again, because most people thought that PSG would be able to win this match amd also qualify to the finals, but it did not end like that. This is because PSG was unable to penetrate Dortmund defense which is tight. Dortmund was able to win home and away on a clean sheet, that shows that PSG lacks some quality finish in their team. Their defense is also poor, and I am happy that the strongest among both clubs was the one that qualified in order to make the finals very interesting.
Congratulations to Dortmund for advancing to the finals when nobody thought of them in the beginning of this competition.

One would think PSG never had interest in this matches for once. How can you not score a single goal in away match and not a single in home match, Dortmund actually played them defensively and attack them when necessary, they made many attempts for goal but make sure to convert the good opportunity anytime they attack, this is what PSG couldn't do in the first leg and the second leg, they can try again next season.

Mpape will likely go to Real Madrid or change club definitely and I'm very sure that PSG would also be having some good deals for his replacement, if they don't drop their ego and make another player for his replacement, they will suffer for it because no doubt Mbape has made some incredible contributions to that club and also been the highest goal scorer for the club.

Yep. Dortmund succeed to reach the final round of UCL this season. They really deserved it, they won the matches against PSG both in Leg 1 and Leg 2. It proves that Dortmund is more ready to play in the final round than PSG. It is actually quite surprising because most people favor PSG to play in the final round. Unfortunately, Dortmund could eliminated PSG, again Mbappe failed to win UCL trophy.

I agree Dortmund defenders played impressively. They could defend their leading with 1 goal until the end of the match. Although PSG played with a very aggressive attacking, Dortmund defenders never let PSG players to score even a single goal. It is a real wall of German team!

What next for PSG? Mbappe moves on at the end of the season, do they replace him with a world class player or stick to their desire to build with young players building the team around the team.

If Mabppe leaves PSG, PSG must replace him with another star player. I'm not sure if PSG must choose a young player to replace Mbappe. Sometimes an experienced old player will be more helpful and bring significant impact on the team. Osimhen is rumored to replace the role of Mbappe in PSG. I think it is a good idea to sign Osimhen because he is an experienced player.

I agree with you, Dortmund where very disciplined with their defensive technique and where able to use it to their own advantage, it was more of a counter attack formation where everybody falls back to defend and also force the attack when there is an opportunity.
I overheard somebody seating next to me as we where watching the game saying, don't be surprised that Dortmund will continue looking like an underdog till they will lift the trophy. I said to him, well this is football, anything can happen, however Dortmund have really tried to have come this far.
PSG actually played a fantastic game, they had lots and lots of opportunity to equalize the game, but hard luck was there greatest undoing in these encounter.

[Sakanwa]

The first time I watched Dortmund played in the group stage in the champions league this season,I saw that their defence and Arsenal's defence were the best,and that was why when Dortmund got to semi final,and win the first leg against PSG,I said Dortmund will go on to become the first two teams to reach the final of this season's champions league.Now they've succeeding in eliminating PSG from the tournament,and won them Back to back,now waiting for whichever team that will qualify tomorrow between Bayern and PSG.

[AYOBA]

Literally it will be a beautiful moment for them to get to the final since 2013 and then maybe we will get to experience another 2013 champions league final, when two Germans teams face each other, Bayern Munich vs Dortmund just like before, will actually want to see this.

Though this will be hard but as the match is going now half time already Match still nil for both team, less see if they can actually hold psg to the end which I doubt.

No, I don't think we all want to see the two German teams face each other in the final because most of us want Real Madrid to win again. PSG made a  good start in the first half of the game, but they were unable to get through Dortmund's defense. The match score is presently 0-1, and the aggregate is 0-2. PSG is now down two goals, I don't think they have a chance to win this game because they can't get past Dortmund defenses. I don't see any difference with PSG playing at home since Dortmund attacks more than we expected. PSG are already out of this competition. If Mbappe wants to win the Champions League trophy, he should depart with the team at the end of the season.

This season has already over for the PSG after big losing to Dortmund in this wonderful night, PSG Started the game with so powerful performance why was hope that they wil try as much possible to make sure they dominate this match. Because even if we look at the possession PSG possession is thus far for the Dortmund and the short on target, but is now I believe that football is not by possession a team might dominate possession but to win the match will be difficult that is exactly what happened to the PSG this night.

Honestly I didn't expecting that Dortmund can able to win this match with the way I saw their performance in some of their previous matches, ast it stands now Dortmund has sent PSG back to their home and directly qualified to final stage.

Not only was the team's performance good, but the goal posts and crossbar were also fully functional to save Dortmund from PSG's attempts to score a goal. Vitinha, Mbappe and all the players suffered greatly as a result, but that was a consequence they had to accept even though they were favorites to win the home game.

Qualifying for the final does not mean Dortmund can win the Champions League title this season. The final match will be very difficult to win because the potential opponent is one of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. I don't expect the Bundesliga final this season in the Champions League, but the opportunity is there and every Bundesliga fan will definitely hope for it.

[len01]

tell me how much your disappointment to PSG is very expected to qualify for the final round but fail in this second leg match.
what happened to PSG? this is not a joke but indeed PSG has performed very well and we are talking about the difference between Dortmund and PSG.
We start from the weaknesses of PSG only using gastric bait too often while in terms of height of the dortmund players are much higher.
the mistakes of the two PSG players are more concerned with operands to Dembele while Mbappe always has a very good chance to be able to score but since the first round Mbappe is very rarely given a pass to score but when Mbappe does not want the operans, the other players give other unwanted bait.
I just thought why Mbappe seemed not given the opportunity to score while he always shouted to ask the ball at him but other PSG players ignored him, what happened?

and the last mistake I can't think of it anymore why Enrique places Mbappe in the position of the wing and the position of the attacker is filled by Gancalo Ramos, while Mbappe is more suitable to be a middle attacker who can always have the opportunity to be able to score and it is proven from the second half of Mbappe forcing yourself to try to break into the middle and opportunities often occur but not enough time to take advantage of these opportunities.

IMO, PSG players have performed very well and look aggressive but too underestimated Dortmund and want to score a score like Dembele, Gancalo Ramos forced several times to fire the ball in an inappropriate position while Mbappe has a more appropriate but ignored position.

[Chilwell]

I think it’d be a great story if Dortmund got to the final but I have a feeling PSG will really go at them from the first minute tonight.

I think PSG will have too much for the Germans tonight but I am rooting for Dortmund.

The great story have happened Dortmund have succeeded in making it the final, Mats Hummels has done it again since 2013 and now 2024 bring Dortmund to champions league finals at Wembley. This is a great moment for Dortmund after more than ten years, now let wait for their opponents tomorrow.

Take a look at their performance both the two teams.

[rdluffy]

I'm surprised by the result of today's match
I lost a few bucks believing PSG would qualify hehe

But I'm surprised at how strong German soccer is this season with the Bayern-Borussia-Leverkusen trio
Borussia reaching the final of a UCL is a historic and deserved achievement for the team, and I find it incredible that the team is only in 5th place in the Bundesliga

I don't know what to think about tomorrow's match, I'm very excited to watch it, but I think Real Madrid will reach the final, again

Well football doesn't fail to be filled with suprised and this night has shown why there are no such thing as sure game or ticket because I believe almost everyone in the world actually taught that PSG would win Dortmund with ease owing to the way they actually knocked out Barcelona buy that wasn't the case today instead it was even the opposite.
