UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Palakka]

PSG's squad is far better compared to the barcelona in term of quality and quantity. take a look at how psg's squad has more than 1 billion valuation to be compared with dortmund's squad which is even less than 1 billion valuation. in wuality psg has so many superstars and it have mbappe too. i can't even compare it considering the fact that if psg has better resources compared to the dortmund. About barcelona, i think that's old story and any players have already accepted the result. barcelona lost caused it was making too many mistakes like what araujo did to get a red card which has been destroying barcelona's gameplay.

Dortmund will be a very difficult opponent for PSG and I think PSG could have been eliminated by Dortmund if Dortmund could still maintain their performance like when eliminating Atletico Madrid, at the moment PSG is filled with many star players and of course we cannot underestimate the quality of the players he has at the moment, but in this case we cannot make it a reference if PSG will be able to beat Dortmund easily Because after all, Dortmund has great motivation after they can beat a team as strong and tough as Atletico Madrid, besides that PSG's luck against Barcelona of course may not be will repeated in the match against Dortmund later.

To be honest, in the modern era like today, we cannot make the valuation of a team as a benchmark for the team to be better, yes indeed strong finances will make a team will easily improve the quality of its squad, but still it does not guarantee that the team is very strong and wins, if we compare the valuation of a team, of course a team like Dortmund is far below the value of the 4 teams that were eliminated in the quarterfinals yesterday,  But in fact they can still survive until the semi-finals and of course this shows performance and mentality is the most important thing compared to the big names in a team.

We know Dortmund are more experienced in this competition and because of that they are not an opponent to be underestimated. Even PSG's size certainly won't be able to win easily and instead Dortmund will put pressure on them. I think the difference in squad depth will not apply in the Champions League and the most important thing is the mentality of each team itself.

Dortmund proved to be the champions of the hellish group at the start of the season and stopped other strong teams such as Newcastle and Milan. Now they will face the same opponents as in the previous group and I am sure they will have no problem getting a ticket to the Champions League final.

Terzic and Luis Enrique both have experience in the Champions League, I think both of them will do their best so that their team does their job when these two teams meet in the semifinal match. for me, PSG has an advantage because they only focus on this competition. in Ligue 1 PSG can be said to be more relaxed, because they are almost certain to retain the League title.
meanwhile for Dortmund, Edin Terzic's squad must focus on two competitions at once. are in 5th place in the Bundesliga, making their position in danger of not participating in the Champions League next season, especially if Dortmund loses during home or away matches. thus, it will worsen Dortmund's performance this season.

However, that doesn't mean that Dortmund will easily be overthrown by Paris Saint-Germain, because after all, Dortmund has a chance to overthrow PSG, especially since the first leg will be held at Signal Iduna Park. In fact, the two teams met in the group phase, and Dortmund won Group F. In this match, Paris Saint-Germain started to be different, their game started to become structured and aggressive. So it's very natural that even though in the first leg Dortmund played at home, PSG was slightly superior in the meeting between these two teams. I favor PSG more, but we'll just have to wait for the battle between these two teams to take place.

Honestly, PSG surprised me
I didn`t think that a poorly composed puzzle team could do this, I believe that a team must be formed organically by strong players and good, experienced players
putting so many talents on one team often doesn`t work well
but PSG surprised me

PSG has a good chance of winning at this point

If we only see the final score about PSG who managed to beat Barcelona in that second leg, then of course we will be surprised and think PSG has better quality than Barcelona. But after we get what that happened in the match, then maybe I will think that PSG was lucky because Barcelona also only played with 10 players. So yes, if in the semifinals later, for example, PSG gets a more difficult opponent and not Dortmund, then I believe PSG will lose in the semifinals. But yes, because in the semifinals PSG will meet Dortmund then at least PSG is the favorite team because obviously, PSG has better quality compared to Dortmund. But even so, it doesn't mean PSG will be able to beat Dortmund easily because of course, Dortmund will also try their best and thus, it still won't be easy to beat Dortmund.

[Hanadawa]

On paper, PSG might look better than Borussia Dortmund because PSG does have a better composition of players but that doesn't mean that they will be able to win easily against Dortmund because teams from the Bundesliga will always have their own motivation when competing in the Champions League and usually they will be very tough opponents. PSG could indeed get rid of Barcelona, but I think they got it after Barcelona made a very stupid mistake. If Barcelona had played with 11 men in that second leg, I don't think PSG would have been able to win against them.

PSG's goal was scored after Araujo received a red card in the 29th minute. PSG played quite well in that match but I think the red card that Araujo received had a significant impact on Barcelona's game. They cannot implement tactics and games as planned. And PSG was able to take advantage of that moment very well.

Dortmund are not a bad team, but I think they are on a bad run in their league. You are right that teams from the Bundesliga have their own motivation in the Champions league but I think Dortmund is one level below PSG. This is different from Munich, which can be said to be on an equal level with Madrid, although I still favor Real Madrid to become champions.

Since we are talking about a tournament like the Champions League, there is not any weak team in this tournament and all the teams in this tournament play with full power and they are usually in their best form.
talking about Dortmund, we know Dortmund couldn't have a good performance in the Bundesliga like they had in the last season but this won't change the fact that Dortmund is a strong team. Dortmund is the team they beat Atletico Mardi and they won the game against this team.
However I guess compared to Barcelona, Dortmund can't be a hard competitor for PSG and that's why I can say Enrique is lucky to play against this team.

[Volgastallion]

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.

There is certainly no doubt about PSG's current performance, with them being able to beat a team with experience like Barcelona is enough to prove that they have a good chance of winning. and I think PSG doesn't have a tough enough opponent apart from Borussia Dortmund. Maybe Borussia Dortmund will provide a game that can make things difficult for them later, but compared to other teams I think PSG can still match it well.

remembering that PSG's previous match was indeed surprising, especially when yesterday they played against Barcelona, where we know Barcelona is an experienced team, but PSG could provide a surprise in the second leg match, even though with the first leg I think Barcelona will be more confident to could win, but in reality PSG provided more surprises.

At the moment I cannot underestimate the PSG team. I know PSG team is not very strong. But they have talented and experienced players like Mbappe and Dembele. PSG also has an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. Luis Enrique is quite experienced on the Champions League platform.

Qualifying for the final is not difficult for PSG. The Dortmund team played very well in the quarter finals. However, the performance of this team is erratic. I believe PSG will win against Dortmund and qualify for the final. I have faith in Luis Enrique. PSG's only target now is the Champions League. PSG have no interest in doing well in Ligue 1 right now.

About PSG vs Dortmund, even though I think this is going to be close, I believe this should be a win for PSG. PSG should be the one going to the final of the Champions League competition and face Real Madrid in the final. Of course, a lot of assumptions are being made in the statement. But everyone is expecting exactly this to happen. Dortmund still have to worry about the Bundesliga. PSG does not have any worries like that. They are going to win the Ligue 1 title anyway.

You know the PSG coach, Luis Enrique is very interested in winning the Champions League. Even though I do not believe he is going to win the Champions League title, but I am confident that they will be able to reach the finals. Remember nobody gave them any chance against Barcelona. But they were able to win against Barcelona and reach the semi-finals. So I do not think they are going to lose against Dortmund in the aggregate score.

I'm sure not many people thought that PSG managed to beat Barcelona in the second leg match yesterday because Barcelona was quite confident of being able to qualify for the semi-finals of the UCL because they were able to win against PSG in the previous first leg match, but unfortunately Barcelona had to recognize PSG's strength which we never knew. You know, PSG surprised everyone and it is certain that Dortmund is not a tough opponent compared to Madrid or Munich. Luckily PSG met Dortmund who have the same strength so of course there will be a chance to qualify for the final by beating Dortmund.

But I'm not sure that Dortmund can beat PSG in the semi-final match, that's why I'm confident that PSG seems to be able to reach the final of the UCL season and could possibly meet Madrid because judging from the statistics, Munich has never managed to win against Madrid in several their last meeting, I'm sure this will be an interesting match for Mbappe to be able to face Madrid in the final while still playing for PSG, if PSG manages to win the UCL title of course this will be big news, but if Madrid manages to win it again, that title will be a great title. Madrid has won the 15th UCL trophy. Hopefully there will be a new champion in the UCL this season, at least PSG

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.

[Texac]

But I'm not sure that Dortmund can beat PSG in the semi-final match, that's why I'm confident that PSG seems to be able to reach the final of the UCL season and could possibly meet Madrid because judging from the statistics, Munich has never managed to win against Madrid in several their last meeting, I'm sure this will be an interesting match for Mbappe to be able to face Madrid in the final while still playing for PSG, if PSG manages to win the UCL title of course this will be big news, but if Madrid manages to win it again, that title will be a great title. Madrid has won the 15th UCL trophy. Hopefully there will be a new champion in the UCL this season, at least PSG 

In the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, everyone is expecting Real Madrid to win. I also do not think it is going to be any different. even though people also did not expect Real Madrid to actually approach to this stage of the competition by beating Manchester City, I think Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions League title. Now it is possible for Bayern Munich to actually win the first leg against Real Madrid because the match is going to be played on the home ground of Bayern Munich.

But we should not forget that the second leg is obviously going to be played in the ground of Real Madrid. Over the two legs, I think Real Madrid is going to find a way to approach to the final of the competition and beat Bayern Munich in the process as well. Of course, Buyer is going to try their best to win because after 11 years they have lost the Bundesliga title. This is the only chance they have to achieve anything glorious in this season

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.

[Franctoshi]

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.

[Baki202]

Dortmund has read PSG's game movements, if PSG is not alert anything can happen and an early win will happen for Dortmund.

And psg have dedicated every energy they have towards the champions league and playing against Dortmund wont be a problem to them Dortmund is weak even in Bundesliga, and from the look of things there is no serious competitor except for real Madrid and am very sure that psg will cross to the finals, since Manchester city is out already. is not really about if there is an instruction or not the leaguea is hot who would have expected manchester city to be removed so can really predict what will happen or not. and they have good opportunity and winning the champions league is mbappes dream there will be a lot of effort coming that young man it wont make anything for any club so the competition is still on. Dortmund will be in trouble.

[ancafe]

After Barcelona and Atletico Madrid won the first leg, Dortmund and PSG were no longer favorites to progress to the semi-finals. However, the facts are different, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ultimately had to admit defeat due to their own mistakes and they had to pay dearly for these mistakes. I was disappointed, of course and it's a natural feeling when the results don't go as expected.

PSG is the favorite to qualify for the final, even though some people think this is wrong, this is a big opportunity that PSG must no longer underestimate if they want to advance to the final. The depth of PSG's squad is quite good even though I doubt its mentality, but as a team that has good attackers and coaches, I think PSG deserves to be favourite.

Everyone has a club that they like and of course they will be disappointed if their favorite club stops progressing to the next round. Dortmund and PSG proved themselves worthy of being in the semifinals, but their journey will be much more difficult because they have to face Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. This is the best opportunity PSG has and they have to win the semifinals to qualify for the final and if Luis Enrique can take advantage of the conditions experienced by their opponents in the semifinals then they have a big opportunity.

In raw terms, both PSG and Dortmund have definitely lost to their second challenger, but football also requires the right strategy when facing opponents. If Luis Enrique can read the opponent's playing style and strategy, they can anticipate quick attacks then I am sure they will qualify for the final. Mentality and strategy will be key for the four remaining teams and they cannot make any mistakes if they want to win.

[beerlover]

I think that Paris has never been in such a favoring draw for the semi final and I am not underestimating Dortmund here,it is just that they have not the same quality players as Paris does and based on this I doubt there will be any surprise regarding which team will qualify for the final.I also think that Paris has the best chances to be crowned as Champions League winners for the first time in their history as they look the team in the better form compared to all the remaining teams in the competition.

I am underestimating Dortmund and say that they are clearly getting a favourable opponent. It would be much much harder to beat Bayern or Real Madrid. Don't get me wrong, Bayern hasn't been great this season and they even lost to Dortmund recently as well so not like Bayern is awesome this year, but it is still Bayern and they are second at Bundesliga whereas Dortmund is like fifth or something.

This means that Bayern and Real Madrid both would be very very tough opponents for PSG. Compared to them Dortmund is much easier and much better, I would rather face them instead, and I believe that we are going to see PSG end up with a win there too, and go to finals. Which would be amazing for them, I think they may win it all this season if they work hard enough.

The two German representatives have proven how strong they are on the European stage, interestingly I predict that the Final match will be between two clubs from Germany and of course it will be reminiscent of the Final several seasons ago, where Bayer Munich and Dortmund met but instead Bayer Munich came out as champions, this is not  just to underestimate PSG and Real Madrid, both of them also deserve to be in the Final, but looking at several aspects of the game and the strength that dominates the Europa League, it is actually a German club, on the other hand, I really want to see PSG in the Champions League Final. If it comes to predicting, it is most likely difficult to guess.  The strength of the two clubs is almost the same so it seems better to pay attention to the match, rather than placing a bet on a match like this because that will risk losing.

[AYOBA]

PSG's goal was scored after Araujo received a red card in the 29th minute. PSG played quite well in that match but I think the red card that Araujo received had a significant impact on Barcelona's game. They cannot implement tactics and games as planned. And PSG was able to take advantage of that moment very well.

PSG play very quite in that their game against Barcelona the game really surprised so many peoples, because nobody expect that turn out from the PSG due how the Barcelona performance is thur far this season, but since their able to hold their consistent well that's why they definitely lose to Barcelona. Honestly the red card that Barcelona received in 29minutes is part of what weak their performance the red card really affected them if not i don't think PSG can able to beat them. As it stands now PSG have directly advance to the semi-final let us be watching and what can actually happen in the semi final against Dortmund, since although that they're also a strong team this season.

Dortmund are not a bad team, but I think they are on a bad run in their league. You are right that teams from the Bundesliga have their own motivation in the Champions league but I think Dortmund is one level below PSG. This is different from Munich, which can be said to be on an equal level with Madrid, although I still favor Real Madrid to become champions.

Seriously speaking Dortmund are not a bad team if we can observed their last match against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga league they really perform in that match, and that's what is given some hope that Dortmund can put much effort and try their possible best and make sure they dominate the semi-final so that they can advance to final stage with full confidence.

They're favorites when you check who should qualify for the Champions League Competition Finals.

Luis Enrique is a top quality and experienced coach, who has all it takes to find himself and his club in the next round of the competition.

You don't need a super star team to win the Champions League Competition, all you need is players displaying leadership, taking responsibilities for themselves, fighting for themselves, taking chances and wanting to do it for the fans and for themselves, togetherness included.

They don't need such a huge squad n more. Togetherness would do a lot for them. They have always been good they just lacked a good leadership to direct them.
