UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[baeva]

I am happy that Dortmund is in the final, they are playing very well this year and I wanted them to win. What really matters now is which team will be the other team.
We watched a 0-0 draw in the first half, I am very curious about which team will take more risks in the rest of the match and which one will win. Real Madrid is playing better so far, but it is not easy to predict which team will score

Real Madrid is playing very well but they need to score one goal to keep them ahead of their visitors, if not a slight chance that Bayern will have they might net the ball, and that will be a tough one for Real Madrid. Vinicius is really making a difference in this second half, as he has being crossing out the ball from the left wing, but nobody is always there to put the ball inside the net. Rodrigo just missed a great chance.

Both Real and Bayern are playing very well, both teams are attacking well, with Bayern launching dangerous counterattacks, one of which has already resulted in a goal. There are 5 minutes left until the end of the main time, Real are attacking especially aggressively at the end of the match, but I think that Bayern will still make it to the final and this year we will have two teams from the Bundesliga in the final.
ps Neuer just made a mistake, apparently it's going to be extra time

[Zlantann]

only zero to zero between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich after 1st half, a match that can now easily end in a draw with consequent extra time very close, I remind you that in the event of a draw there is no longer any question of the away goal being worth double.

Real Madrid should pass but now the fear and pressure are increasing for both clubs, it will be tough for both.

We might end up having a similar scoreline we had yesterday night in the first semi-final game between PSG and Borussia Dortmund. PSG controlled the game but they still lost at home. Bayern Munich had just scored a goal Davies this might be all they need for us to have an all-German final. I don't also underestimate the ability of Real Madrid, they can still turn the game around within a few minutes. If the match ends this way, Borussia Dortmund might win this year's UCL because they can be able to match Bayern Munich in the finals. It is not over until the final whistle is blown by the central referee Szymon Marciniak.

Edit: A goal from Joselu has rekindled the hope of Real Madrid. I see this match ending in a penalty shootout with the host going to the finals.
Edit: I am wrong this match is not going to penalties, Joselu is now a Real Madrid hero, and he has added another goal within a few minutes.

[Jaycoinz]

Bayern Munich finally scored a goal and made the score 0-1 and the goal came from Alphonso Davies' hard kick, I think this match was really a very interesting match. And I'm sure Real Madrid will score because there are more shots on Bayern Munich's goal, and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is an experienced and very good goalkeeper who makes it difficult for Real Madrid to score goals and is always thwarted.
Real Madrid should play Luka Modric because he is a very influential player, and I hope this match ends in a draw so that there is extra time and I can enjoy this great match more.

Amd now it's 1-1 courtesy to a goal by joselu, and this goal was well expected because the pressure was just too much and finally they yielded to the pressure but irrespective of the equalizing goal from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich have actually played very well and deserves to take this game to additional extra minutes. But truth be told, I really expected Real Madrid to win but it seems they will be needing another additional 30minutes to decide that date.

Joselu have just scored the winner for Real Madrid to make it a brace for him this night, what am epic match, Bayern Munich players will really cry in this loss because imagine winning all the way from 68th minutes to 88th minutes and Joselu just broke the heart of Bayern Munich. Such an unfortunate night for Bayern Munich because they almost felt that they have qualified for the finals only for Joselu to end their dream within an interval of 3 minutes, the first was 88th minutes while the second goal was 90+1 minutes this is really hard for Bayern Munich to bear but they need to accept the outcome of the game.

Joselu is a supersub, as he came from the bench to score two goals within 3 minutes to put Real Madrid on the lead.

A wonderful substitution that was made by Ancelotti on the last quarter of the match has turned the game around from one goal down. What a come back for Real Madrid as they have qualified to the finals.

R.Madrid 2-1. B.Munich

Real Madrid ended up scoring two controversial goals. I don't know how that second goal is not an offside. I am not happy with how this game has turned up to be. Bayern Munich really played good game  and scored a well deserved goal. A mistake from Bayern Munich goal keeper gave Joselu and opportunity to equalized before he scored a second controversial goals which I thought was an offside, the offside was initially given by the on field ref, but the var called him to check his earlier decision and it ended up that it wasn't offside and Madrid took the lead. This is not how this game should have been. Bayern Munich missed several scoring opportunities and it has come back to hunt them. It's so unfortunate that they have lost out in this game, even when it seemed that they were the team heading to the finals. Am sad right now 😠

But Bayern Munich has absolutely impressed me today. How well they were able to hold Madrid to the real challenge is astonishing. Now both teams are past 90 minutes and are in a draw game which could likely result to both teams finishing at a penalty shootout. Real Madrid have met Bayern Munich on several occasions in the Champions league. If Bayern will be able to win this match, they would have broken the spell (lol) casted upon them with the inescapable win over the same Bayern for several years.


Now I heard Madrid as scored an extra goal which take them to the lead again after Joselu netted his second goal. I'm not as impressd as I am not happy with that

[swogerino]

Absolutely not offside the 2nd goal of Bayern although I am happy that Real won as I had bet on them to win and over 2.5 and both teams to score but I am sorry for Bayern as their second goal was void without being correct,the referees clearly favored Real in this game and what is done is done.I think this is going to be one of the most interesting final games ever in recent Champions League history,Real Madrid vs Dortmund and I think Dortmund is somewhat better in shape than Bayern was so most likely we will see a good one,much different from Manchester City vs Inter last season,I am sure of this and can't wait that 1 June,date of the final.

Manuel Neuer's blunder was really exploited by Joselu perfectly. It was a goal that changed everything for Real Madrid and now Real Madrid has secured victory to qualify for the final. I am very grateful for Manuel Neuer's mistake which saved Real Madrid's spirit to comeback from conceding 1 goal.

Joselu was the hero today with two classy goals at home. I am very excited for him even though he is actually a loan player who Ancelotti doesn't play often. All the players are happy and everyone is very excited after qualifying for the final for the 18th time so far, the title is almost certain to be in Real Madrid's cupboard.

So, do you think the referee robbed Bayern Munich today?

Isn't this game kind of a reminder what happened to Bayern when they lost the Champions League final against Manchester United? In this case there was of course an error involved from Manuel Neuer, but in a sense it is very similar to that game back then. Until the 87th minute nobody thought that Bayern could lose this, but what a crazy turn of events. Real Madrid is Real Madrid, you can't stop being concentrated against them until the last second of the game is played.

[un_rank]

The referee was having a oercet match up until the final minutes of the game. Should have undoubtedly not blown the whistle for that last Bayern chance until the sequence of play was over. The call was very tight and deserved the benefit of the doubt if any chance did. But then again he probably was making up for letting the game play on for so long, we went well past what should have been the added time for the VAR check and goal celebrations, so that sort of makes it fair.

Real and Dortmund for the first time ever in a Champions league final. Madrid are very heavy favorites for this one, similar to last year when City were the favorites to win Milan. Everyone loves a underdog story and we can't wait to see what plays out.

Holly! What a match today and what a comeback from Real Madrid, I really didn’t believe that they will come back in the very last minutes after Bayern Munich scoring and defending well their goal sheet, however, once Real Madrid scored the drawing goal, I was sure that they will score again and qualify to the finals and face Borussia Dortmund. Honestly, Bayern today did play well and managed to dominate their gameplay against Real Madrid player who were trying their best to score from the very beginning. The mistake was when Thomas Tuchel made the early changes of attachers and playing total defense which allowed Real Madrid to boost their effort without worrying too much about any counter attacks, until they succeeded to score 2 goals.

[Hhampuz]

Never even worried 

[LGD2Business]

What a scandal in the Champions League semi-final! The referees officially stole Bayern's ticket to the final. The match came to this point because of Neuer's big mistake, but then the cancellation of Bayern's clean goal will go down in football history. I have never seen such a scandalous decision. How can such an amateur mistake be made on such a big platform? I don't believe this was a mistake, the side referee literally killed the match. Real Madrid will need referees again in the final because Dortmund will not have mercy on them.

[hahay]

We could see how much of a winning mentality Real Madrid had in this match, and how much support Real Madrid fans had at the Bernabeu. With these factors, even though Real Madrid were 0-1 down, but Real Madrid still managed to score two goals by Joselu. It was a very extraordinary effort, because Joselu was also just played in the 81st minute as a substitute for Valverde, although Joselu was not always played as the main player but anyway,the fact that Joselu always managed to make a big contribution to the good results obtained by Real Madrid.

With Real Madrid victory, then I think there is no longer any doubt that Real Madrid will get the Champion League trophy this season although indeed, I also recognize that Dortmund has a good effort too. But still,if only relying on counterattacking against Real Madrid, I'm sure it won't work. Because clearly,as we saw in this match even though Real Madrid was 0-1 down that Real Madrid really had a very good effort and also a very good winning mentality, so that Real Madrid could guarantee a winning result.

[bering]

I have been watching the match and it's very entertaining because since the beginning of match Real Madrid was playing attacking and they got several opportunities to scores from Rodrygo and Vinicius but Manuel Neuer can able to made several crucial safe for Bayern Munich and first half was ended without goals but everything was change in the second half because from counter attack scheme Bayern Munich can leading the game from Alphonso Davies and i thought that goal would be the only goal in this match because Real Madrid still unable to scores when the match almost ended

Apparently when Ancelotti has decide to replace Rodrygo to Joselu seems he has made right decision because within 3 minutes Joselu can scores 2 goals and bringing Real Madrid to win the match and i think Real Madrid has been prove to us that they deserved to called as Champion candidate because after conceded Real Madrid players didn't panic and still focus to attack and made epic comeback and credit to Joselu because he became an supersubs for Real Madrid and help this team to beat Bayern Munich and it has been determined now that the opponent for Dortmund at the final match is Real Madrid

[Nheer]

Nearly half time and still 0-0. Like the 1st leg there’s not much between the two teams, a proper chess match tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes all the way to penalties.

It seems Madrid will go through to the final and we don’t have to wait till penalties decide the winner, ig has been aa very dramatic night but this is Real Madrid the king of the Champions League. A lot of people were surprised how Real Madrid was able to turnaround the game but i was not surprised, this is the kind of thing they do and we have witnessed it in the past how they magically turn games around in the champions league. I think Bayern Munich were too sloppy and allowed some errors like the error Nuer did that led to the equalizer it gave Madrid more confidence and boosted their confidence and they got the winning goal to make it to the final. Also Tuchel was casual with his substitution and it affected them as well.

In games like this you need to leave some few attackers in the field in case of counter attacks and not just sub them all out because you are a goal up. It was too early to make that kind of substitution in my opinion.

Actually, this is not a wrong strategy when Bayern Munich is already ahead and wants to maintain its lead. If only Manuel Neuer hadn't made the blunder that Joselu used for the first goal, then I'm not sure Real Madrid could have recovered. Real Madrid's enthusiasm was burning when the score was still 1-1 and it was proven that within a few minutes they scored another goal when Bayern Munich's defensive concentration was unstable.

I admit there was a moment where the referee seemed reluctant to review VAR at the request of a Bayern Munich player for the second goal which was considered offside. The referee did not see it as a call for a VAR review despite Bayern players protesting strongly against the decision. I'm sure this will be a hot topic of conversation everywhere for anyone who is neutral or on the side of Bayern Munich, but what happened will still happen and Real Madrid will go to the final.

He may be tired and no longer want to run for an extra 30 minutes. Lol

HALA MADRID.
 Bayern Munich tried, at some point in the game I almost lost hope that Madrid will not win again, but thankfully we came out successful.
It wasn't an easy win but, we scaled through. Bayern played so extremely well even more than the way they played in their home ground, but Madrid kept on pushing on because of the experience players they had.

Nearly half time and still 0-0. Like the 1st leg there’s not much between the two teams, a proper chess match tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes all the way to penalties.

My friend was telling me earlier today that Madrid is going to trash Bayern Munich carelessly. I told him that it was what I thought in the first leg, but since after the first leg, I realised that this is semi finals, that any team can win. Right now it is becoming obvious to him that anything can happen. This is because the match has ended first half and there is no single goal from either team.

I must confess that this is a great first half. Even when Gnabry was substitute because of injury, I thought the momentum will drop but Davis surprised me and still kept on the momentum. Let's see what the second half has for us, but I think PK shoot out might not be in view here.

For Bayern Munich not to concede a goal against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu means that Bayern Munich is pulling out a good performance, which has made it hard for Real Madrid to score easily against Bayern Munich. I thought by now Real Madrid could be leading Bayern Munich, but I am surprised to see Real Madrid finding it hard to score against Bayern Munich. I believe Real Madrid will score against Bayern Munich before the end of the match.

Alphonso Davies that came in for Gnarby when he was injured has broken the deadlock on the 68th minutes with a super strike to give Bayern the lead.

Damn it, Madrid just scored but the goal has been canceled because Nacho was holding the neck of his opponent inside the 18 yard box before the cross.

RMA 0-1 BAY
AGG  2-3

Hala Madrid!
I was afraid when Davies gave Bayern Munich the lead against Real Madrid in the 68th minute. I said to myself, how would Bayern Munich knock out Real Madrid from the semi-final to set up a final with Borussia Dortmund? But thanks to Joselu's late goals, which helped Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 and qualify for this season's UEFA Champions League finals with Borussia Dortmund.
