UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Still can't believe PSG made it through to the semis by knocking out Barcelona without stress after the home side ending the first half with 10 men. PSG will be facing Dortmund to finish their story since they had that long clash in the group stage and I must confess that Dortmund are having a better form in the UCL and nobody is talking about them since the beginning of the season in this competition.
I never thought Dortmund would make it this far but this stage isn't a new thing for the German side, let's see how both teams would battle it out in the final chapter of their story, would it still be Dortmund who'll dominate in this encounter or PSG to correct their mistakes, with just 2 games to the finals who would be advancing to the next stage?🤔

Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.

Yeah considering the performance of PSG if they managed to qualify to the finals it will surely not going to be easy on them because is quite obvious that their performance is not really good enough to challenge bigger teams and we all know how they struggled on the hands of Barcelona before they eventually qualify through a narrow escape because if Barcelona players were to be intact on that match PSG would not have qualify to another round.

So if for instance PSG qualify with either Bayern Munich, Manchester City or Bayern Leverkusen on the finals they will surely lose the trophy because those teams are more better than them so long as the league is concerned so since they find it very difficult on their match against Barcelona qualifying from their next round will tough on them if at all they can even pulled it off because they will be meetings with bigger team than Barcelona, so let's see how far they will go.

Alright now back to looking at the betting markets again, surprisingly Real Madrid have odds @4.90 and Man City @1.61 this is quite a difference but we still feel confident that Real Madrid still have a chance of qualifying.

I don't know why the bookies give such high odds to Real Madrid, do you dare to take these odds?

Broadly speaking Man City were able to hold Real Madrid to a draw even though Man City took an early lead, but I think the bookies are heading this way.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich odds are not much different I guess what is seen in the betting market now, but it is interesting to do a parlay between Bayern Munich and Man City.

In the Champions League, we saw some really competitive matches. Dortmund led at half-time, but Atletico Madrid managed to make it 2-2 in the second half. Dortmund didn't give up and scored 2 more goals in 3 minutes to win the match 4-2 and go through. I expected the game to go to extra time, but Dortmund managed to get through the round with a good game. I must say it was a result that surprised me. Likewise, Barcelona's red card and PSG's complete control of the game after the red card told us who would win the round.

Both Dortmund and PSG that won yesterday game really surprised everyone because both teams that were eliminated secured victory in their first leg and everyone thought that they can make their win easily, i think the red card that was issued against Barcelona really helped PSG to gain their victory if not they can't defeat Barcelona. Dortmund dominated the games completely in Possession, Pass Accuracy, Accurate Passes, Total Shots, Shots On Target, they really prove that they are the host, Dortmund really shocked me compared to Barcelona, at least Barcelona have something to say about their defeat what about Atletico Madrid that have nothing to show.

Dortmund surely slipped unnoticed to the final stages of this competition and I am shocked really, but not as shocked after the results of last nights clash between PSG and Barcelona.
I was very certain that Barcelona would have won and told everyone to expect so at the end, only to be alarmed after PSG scored 3 and then added the last with a red card that saw the Barca team play in reckless formation nearing the final minutes of stoppage time.

Tonight is gonna be one interesting match between Arsenal, Bayern, Manchester city and real Madrid. Am hoping the gunners make it through having drawn the first leg but am sure Harry Kane would be having better plans to push the Bayern team to the next stage.
While between Real and Manchester, anyone can win.

The way PSG beat Barcelona so effortlessly was astounding and enjoyable at the same time. It was Dembele's revenge day against his former team Barcelona. Raphinha scored Barcelona's first goal. He was just in the right place. In fact, it was Yamal who carried all the positions. He does valid things in every match, for example, he did it in this match, but the next thing did not develop very well for Barcelona. Lewandowski consumed too many positions. We can say that these are the best quarter-final matches in history. Take a look at how this year's matches turned out. It's incredible how PSG actually got through the second leg with zero worries.

A common thing in UCL. This is why people called that UCL was in another level caused by this. The situation is kinda different when barcelona got its red card. barcelona's gameplay was changing a lot as it was only able playing defensively. it must be noted that barcelona's defensive line was not that good.
This is also making the situation even worst. Playing with 10 players are forcing barcleona to did nothing in the game. it was making PSG attacking it so crazily without even stopped.

I never thought Dortmund would make it this far but this stage isn't a new thing for the German side, let's see how both teams would battle it out in the final chapter of their story, would it still be Dortmund who'll dominate in this encounter or PSG to correct their mistakes, with just 2 games to the finals who would be advancing to the next stage?🤔

A surprise from dortmund and i strongly agree with you here. Dortmund has been showing impressive performances which is unbelievable to see that. Maatsen and several dortmund's players. That's amazing to see how ATM has lost a chance to go to the semi final.
Dortmund never be considered as a strong team by majority of football fans but it's always able winning the game. That's amazing performance from the club.

[Dailyscript]

PSG are likely to play in the UCL final for the second time under Luis Enrique. PSG confirmed the semi-finals by defeating Barcelona by a huge margin in the second leg of the quarter-finals. 
While Barcelona's semi-final is assured, Barcelona's opponents are Dortmund. Barcelona and Dortmund are in the same category and it cannot be said that this team is doing very well in their league this season, in that case PSG under the leadership of Luis Enrique can easily cross the semi-final barrier. If PSG make it through the semi-finals, they will face either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final. 

Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.

I dont think they PSG will make it to the final this season. Beating Barca is not a criteria it is just a step to the next strong opponent they will face. They will be facing either Dortmund, Real Madrid or Arsenal. Real Madrid will win their match today against Manchester City but it will be hell of fight for both teams. One thing i am very certain about is that by first half of the game the both teams are likely to score and the match will end with multiple goals from 3 - 6. Both teams will score two goals and above.

[Palakka]

Great efforts were made by Dortmund and Atletico in this second leg, and Dortmund acting as a home team can also really maximize the moment of playing at home by making two goals in the first half. But yes, because Atletico also still had a great effort, then Atletico also had at least two goals back in this match and made the aggregate 3-4. But then again, Dortmund can really maximize playing at home so Dortmund also managed to make two goals back quickly and make the aggregate 5-4. Thus, Dortmund managed to qualify for the semifinals with a very good effort in this second leg. Also, if for example today Real Madrid fails to beat Manchester City, then the result will make all three La Liga teams fall in the quarterfinal phase.

Two teams have now secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals this season, Dortmund who fell in the domestik league surprised us all because they managed to qualify for the semi-finals after beating Atletico Madrid in the second leg, I think before Dortmund no longer had hope after they lost to Atletico Madrid in the first leg, because I was quite sure if Atletico Madrid would also be able to beat Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park,  But it was quite surprising to see Dortmund able to make a comeback by destroying the Atletico Madrid defense for reverse the aggregate score to 5-4.

Like Dortmund, PSG who came to Barcelona home was also injured after losing the first leg, even PSG had fallen behind Barcelona again after Rapinha scored in the first half, but unfortunately for Barcelona who received a red card gave PSG an advantage in the match to rise and turn the situation around that made PSG in the semifinals at this season.
Currently only Madrid remain in the Champions League as Spain's representative and let's see if they will also follow in the footsteps of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona today or Madrid can still boast Spain in the Champions League this season.

Both teams will score two goals and above.

As far as I know PSG's next opponent is Dortmund. PSG will play against Dortmund in the semi-finals. And is it too difficult a task for PSG to beat Dortmund? I don't think so.

If PSG had faced Madrid, Arsenal or City in the semi-finals, it might not have been easy for PSG to qualify for the final. However, Dortmund's performance is not very consistent. I even consider PSG as favorites against Dortmund. Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. He will surely create a perfect match strategy to defeat the Dortmund team. This season we will see PSG in the Champions League final. I think so.

[ancafe]

Yep, this might be a chance for PSG to win Champions League because Dortmund isn't that strong. Even though able to beat Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid is just a mediocre team in this season. Although the final match would be either Real Madrid or Manchester City i.e. toughest opponent, but any teams that can enter to final already have a mentality to win.

Both Atletico Madrid and Dortmund want to score as many as possible, that's why their take risk to sacrifice their defense lines.

If you look at the strength of the two teams, PSG has a much greater chance of advancing to the final, but Dortmund also cannot be underestimated because currently they really have quite a lot of motivation. Luis Enrique only needs two more steps to bring PSG to the Champions League title this season and it may not be an easy job because they still have three games to win.

Dortmund will not let PSG play openly and they will try to prevent PSG from easily getting full points. This will be interesting to wait for because both of them are not the favorite teams to win the Champions League this season. But their struggle so far cannot be separated from the ability of their respective coaches to see the opportunities that exist.

After Atletico Madrid and Barcelona eliminated by their opponents yesterday then Spanish only have 1 representative team Real Madrid and today Real Madrid has hard task because they should being an the last Spanish team who can advances to the semifinal and after playing draw in the first leg Real Madrid is in the unfavourable situation because they have to win at Manchester City home ground and actually win with 1 goal margin is enough for them

Spanish teams aren't performing as well this season compared to previous versions of UCL amd even in LaLiga, despite their historical dominance in winning the Champions League trophy over the past decade and of course the white house won 5 out of 10 trophies.
Now Real Madrid is the only Spanish representative in the Quarter Finals, their chances of qualifying to the Semifinals are slight this time. Manchester City, playing at home with a perfect record against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, this adds more pressure on the team. However, as you mentioned this match is unpredictable, and we have seen Real Madrid overcome worse situations in worse scenarios so maybe it’s their chance to win tonight and prove them wrong.

Moreover, the away goals rule which was previously used as a tiebreaker is no longer effective. This change gives Real Madrid a slightly better chance if this rule still used,  as they drew 3-3 in the first leg. If they manage to win with a 1 goal margin they will advance to the Semifinals and surprise everyone.

PSG and Dortmund managed to advance to the semifinals after defeating their opponents in the second leg after both losing in the first leg. The comebacks made by PSG and Dortmund occurred in different ways and at different location statuses. PSG managed to win at Barcelona headquarters with a one-man advantage, while Dortmund eliminated Atletico at their headquarters.
PSG victory was not too surprising in my opinion, Barcelona's game immediately dropped after Araujo was sent off which gave PSG an advantage. Barcelona defeat was due to an unexpected incident, while Atletico were very disappointed because they were unable to maintain their lead.

The draw I think is giving an advantage to PSG as they will face Dortmund and let's be honest after seeing the two leg games of both teams it looks crystal clear that PSG should be the easy team to advance to the final.It looks like this is their year after so many years failing it looks like they have the perfect opportunity and they would be love to see in the final any team between Arsenal or Bayern Munchen,a team from that clash which in most theory speaking is highly unlikely as whichever team from the Manchester City and Real clash,most likely can also win against Bayern or Arsenal in the semi final,so things look pretty neat so far.

Dortmund  did a great job winning athletico Madrid and Spanish clubs they are off the competition, German clubs are not joking and they have good experience especial for Dortmund and bayern and the two clubs are good and this night we are going to know whether or not will arsenal be eliminated psg as qualified for the semi finals and don't be surprised to see psg in the finals and that is one of mbappes dream to win the finals.

Dortmund really maximize there play winning home and the leagues are getting more tougher and people did not expect it to turn out like, and today is for arsenal vs bayern and Manchester city vs real Madrid and Manchester wont lose guard to real Madrid as for arsenal no comment for now.

I don't believe PSG will reach the UCL championship maybe they will be stuck until the final and lose that match; this is my own opinion about PSG whatever the result is it could change....
Broadly speaking Dortmund is a balanced opponent for PSG and I dare say PSG is more above it maybe PSG's chances of qualifying are still quite large compared to other clubs.

The scenario that I am sure of in the future - If PSG is in the final and meets between Real Madrid or Manchester City then I have confidence that this team will win, we know how the game statistics of this team are much better than PSG.

But we never know every team will try to reach the level they want, so the ultimate goal is the final and the champion.

PSG and Dortmund had brilliant come back on second leg match after getting loss on first leg, for Dortmund seems most crucial
after leading awhile 2-0 and Atletico Madrid almost make being draw until 64th minutes before Niclas Füllkrug and Marcel Sabitzer scored last two goals to help Dortmund won aggregate 5-4 over Atletico. Its first time for Dortmund success qualifying until semifinal round after longer time their achievement lead until final round on season 2012/13.

PSG success make another come back against Barcelona after getting loss on first leg, get advantage after Ronald Araújo receiving red card although have conceded early but PSG success come back and winning over 1-4 and aggregate over 4-6.

[Egii Nna]

If PSG make it through the semi-finals, they will face either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final. 

Although the semi-final match is easy, the final match will definitely be tough for PSG if PSG can make it to the final.
Considering PSG's current performance, I would say PSG definitely deserves to qualify for the finals.

Why won't you add Arsenal to the teams that will go to the semifinals? From seeing the game today, Arsenal can still make it against Bayern Munich in the game because, with proper consideration of Arsenal's performance, they can become the winners of the trophy in the season because they are one of my favorite teams in the league. So what I will say is that we should look at the game and see who will make it to the semifinals. The games we have today will be so much tougher than yesterday's.
Because both teams are already on a draw, the game is like a starting game, which will make it more tough because, seeing as Manchester City and Real Madrid play, all of them want to make it to the semifinals, and that is the same for Arsenal and Bayern Munich, so let's just get ready to watch a war.

[arallmuus]

I dont think they PSG will make it to the final this season. Beating Barca is not a criteria it is just a step to the next strong opponent they will face. They will be facing either Dortmund, Real Madrid or Arsenal.

Eventhough I didnt really enjoy the game last night because of that red card for Barcelona that really turned the game off, I could argue that PSG was way better compared to the 1st leg. They got a chance for sure and I wouldnt count them out of the UCL race yet

As long as either City or Madrid stays on the race, its pretty much hard for any other team to compete but PSG is quite a team that could really tap that small chance into reality. Aside from playing against 10 players yesterday, they were actually quite good though because Barcelona has been trying pretty hard to keep the ball in check but they managed to still get it and scored

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal

[/b]
Bayern Munich is one of the strong teams in the club side matches and this evening match with Arsenal will be a thug of war though these days Arsenal has not really done well with their games. And we can't just say Arsenal will win Bayern Munich like that because that is another good team in the league. Although football is not like that because a team that was not doing well can have a good squad and beat their opponent. I am still thinking how Chelsea beat Everton 6-0. Because Everton was also good team in the premier league. Let's see how this evening match will end. I will support on BM to win the match.
