UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[ShowOff]

PSG in the first leg actually also had several opportunities which almost became a goal if they didn't hit the goal post. But somehow PSG seemed to have lost sharpness in completing attacks. Dortmund made more attacks that could endanger PSG's goal. So the score of 1-0 was very appropriate. And yes, in the second leg we will definitely see PSG who are much more aggressive. because in the second leg PSG must catch up by scoring at least 2 goals and not conceding. The position as host can be an advantage and PSG must make good use of it.

PSG still has hope because there is just one goal difference, and Dortmund will play at home, which will be difficult if PSG does not win. Dortmund's performance yesterday was very impressive; they can try to defend games in the second leg and prevent goals from being scored, but PSG will be very prepared for the second leg; they will not want to make any mistakes that will allow Dortmund to score at home, but PSG must be very careful with Dortmund now because they have an advantage; they can do their best and try to draw with PSG in Paris. Since they won the league, they won't try to focus on it any more. the coach will be planning how to revenge the goal back in the second leg. They should try and pressing Dortmund from the first half and score goal before the first half end, Because if PSG does not score in the first half, he will undoubtedly score in the second half. Let us see who will advance to the final and meet Madrid or Munich this season.

PSG can still hope a lot to qualify for the final this season.
The 0-1 aggregate difference from Dortmund is basically not a very big problem when PSG will play at home in the second leg. PSG just needs to improve their game aggressiveness and finishing, so their chances of getting to the final are still good so far.

PSG's potential failure to reach the final will likely be lower than Dortmund's, but Dortmund will certainly have a big mission in the second leg, especially after they lead 0-1 on aggregate. Dortmund have a good defense as they proved in the first leg, they are also good at applying pressure, but Luis Enrique will probably find a solution to increase his chances of scoring more than 2 goals in the second leg.

[hahay]

Yesterday, as I expected, Dortmund managed to beat PSG at home. As much as I want Dortmund to win, it is unlikely that they will be champions league champions. They are one of the weakest teams between them statistically and squad wise. Although Dortmund struggled against PSG, they managed to win at home and gain an important advantage for the round. A possible draw away from home will mean a place in the round for them.

At least any result can still happen, but indeed, because Dortmund is a team that is at least a team that is not projected to advance to the final match, but Dortmund managed to beat PSG in the first leg. So with results like that maybe, a big surprise will really happen for Dortmund this season in the Champions League. Because after all, most people will also think more about teams that have good dominance in their respective leagues and also about good experience in the Champions League. Therefore, at least PSG will be the favorite team compared to Dortmund but still, the reality is that the favorite team still doesn't guarantee that they can win easily in a phase like this.

[baeva]

A difference of two goals will give PSG the qualification to the finals. If Dortmund can go to France and draw the match it means that Dortmund will be the club playing the finals with Re Madrid.

And how sure are you that if Dortmund wins their next match, they will be playing against Real Madrid? Real Madrid played draw in the first leg of their match which was against Bayern Munich, nobody is sure yet that Real Madrid will be winning Bayern Munich in the second leg of the match, even if Real Madrid has higher chances of winning the second leg since they will be playing at home, but we just can’t conclude yet that they will be winning, we should wait for the match to be played first before we know who will be winning.

In this season of Champions League, especially in the semi-final matches, there is no chance to say which team will be ahead and which team will be behind. Of course we put PSG ahead in the second leg of the semi-final between PSG vs Dortmund but the result was different on the field where PSG lost to Dortmund. 

Considering past statistics or current performance, PSG was ahead but on field performance PSG could not stay ahead which resulted in PSG trailing Dortmund by one goal in the first leg of the semi-final. 
However, the positive aspect for PSG is that they will have the opportunity to play the second leg match at their home ground, in which case they have a good chance of being ahead. PSG must be aggressive in the second leg match and at least make the goal difference 2-0 for PSG to directly qualify for the Champions League final.

I think Borussia will not allow to score 2 goals or more, they will cling to a possible victory, since they are so close to it now and will press most likely from the very beginning, to get a quick goal and a little exhale, so that the difference would be 2 goals and not 1. I think the outcome of the return match will be a draw, even though PSG will be playing at home

Therefore, at least PSG will be the favorite team compared to Dortmund but still, the reality is that the favorite team still doesn't guarantee that they can win easily in a phase like this.

Dortmund is a club that is actually unexpected to reach this stage now because looking at the participation they have always had in the last few seasons, at best they are only in the round of 16 and it is not uncommon for them to fail in the group phase and move on to the Europa League So this season, being in the semi-finals and even taking one step into the final is something that could not have been predicted.
It's just that, as you said, in the end, anything could still happen now, even though currently Dortmund is still superior in terms of aggregate, but this still cannot be a reference, especially since the 2nd leg PSG will play at home.

But with the confidence they are showing I think it would be very good if in the end they maintain the current aggregate and advance to the final by surprise because I think that would be a very extraordinary thing for Dortmund.

[CroverNo01]

Dortmund is good,l.If anyone says Dortmund is not good,then that person does not know what he or she is saying.Dortmund is a champions league club,but nobody expected them to be to where they are this season in the Champions league.I like this season because no team showed any weak spirit in the champions league,any team can win any team.Take a look at what happened to PSG last night,when Dortmund showed them that they came to play,and they seriously meant business.And one think I love about them was how solid their defence was,and how they composed themselves even when PSG mounted pressure on them,they were able to keep the 1:0 lead to the end.

[topbitcoin]

There are several conditions that might become troublesome for Dortmund in the second leg, although for now the aggregate is still in their favor with 1 goal obtained at Signal Iduna Park yesterday.

PSG has quite good attacking power and we can see that in yesterday's match there were several opportunities, including from Mbappe and Hakimi, both of whom hit the crossbar, which of course means that Dortmund has to tighten up its defensive area if they want a good result for the second leg.

Currently, they have a very good fighting spirit because this is the first time I have seen Dortmund make it to the final in this modern era, which of course could be a good thing if Dortmund can make it happen. The problem is that this will not be easy because PSG will also try as hard as they can to change the results and aggregate because this is also momentum for them so they can continue to be seen as a big club.

To be honest I don't see Dortmund having a chance of going to the final because winning by one goal is really not safe, we know PSG can play aggressively when playing at home like when they played in the group stage and beat Barcelona. I can say that PSG has an 80% chance of advancing to the final and waiting for the winner between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, I'm not underestimating Dortmund but they don't have a great record when away .

The only way for Dortmund to beat PSG is to draw in the second leg it's just that it's not easy I mean they need a miracle, apart from that, PSG has Kylian Mbappe who actively scores goals while playing at home and currently he has scored 8 goals as well as being one of the main candidates to win the golden boot.

I think you are underestimating Dortmund too much if you don't think there is a chance for them to qualify because for now the fact that Dortmund's aggregate is still superior and their performance is still quite good is proof that their chances are still big even if they face PSG.

Indeed, in the end the aggregate of 1 goal did not make them comfortable, but when they managed to keep up with PSG's game the same as in the first leg yesterday it would be enough to put them in the final.
Leg 2 for sure PSG will be the favorites to qualify for the final but they will face stronger pressure compared to Dortmund because for now Dortmund just need to maintain the aggregate advantage they already have but for PSG they have to try to score at least 2 goals or even more ( if Dortmund can score a goal in the 2nd leg) to get to the final.
And don't forget that this is a semi-final which will mean every club playing will do everything to get to the final, including Dortmund who will also do that.

Well if you feel Dortmund were lucky then it's probably now left for us to see what the second leg unfolds between the two teams. The champions league is filled with so many wonders and Dortmund scaling through to the possible finals is also going to be a big suprised because no one would have expected them to do so in even a glance at the whole suprises.

Dortmund has a chance to qualify for the final, as does PSG. I'm not sure Dortmund can play like they showed in the first leg, I mean maintaining the same performance at home is not easy. PSG is expected to score at least 2 goals without conceding, this will lead them to advance to the final this season.

Luis Enrique must emphasize to his players how important it is for them to get to the final. Luis Enrique wants to have a great record in Ligue 1 and also the Champions League in his first season with PSG, but this is not easy. He knows how difficult it is to qualify for the final when the opposing team also wants the same ticket, but they have the opportunity to plan a better game at home.

The game between Dortmund and PSG has thought me not to underrated any club that has risen to this level of Semifinals even though one would ordinarily expect PSG to win over Dortmund or at least secure a draw, but it was both to no avail. 1 goal of aggregate is definitely a slim victory to walk away with, but if Dortmund can hold PSG to a draw in the next match, they are already guaranteed of the final against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid are also not so sure of their victory over Bayern Munich as both clubs will still maintain the same lineups and chosen a more defensive looking formation whilst Real Madrid is more interested in the striking than defensing

Bayern Munich draw points with Real Madrid and I think that's really a bad one for the Bavarians, allowing Carlo Ancelotti to witnessed draw in the first leg is not always challenging for Los Blancos, Thomas Tuchel should find out what happen to Pep Guardiola. As for the other fixture, Borrusia Dortmund was underrated but looking at their current stats, it portrays their ambition to enter the UEFA Champions League final this season. Edin Terzic will not relent but throws everything valid to push his team to continue winning. They're leading in the first leg of the UCL semi final and this is an advantage for them to push harder for more brilliant results.

[Majestic-milf]

What I want - A final of Bayern vs Dortmund.

What I expect - A final of Real vs PSG.

Both ties are massively close and really in the balance but Real will do what Real do and I think without their fantastic home crowd, Dortmund might not be able to sustain what they are doing in this years CL.

I also wish Dortmund would go to the final but inste justad of being paired against Bayern, I'd prefer Real Madrid. PSG could turn things around and be the winners but with their record of getting to semi's and even the finals without carrying the cup, I think anything can happen now.
 Who knows, what happened in the champions league of 2020 where the finalists where Bayern Munich and PSG could repeat itself as against the obvious match of Real Madrid and the winner of the return leg between Dortmund and PSG. I'm not really rooting for anyone at the moment, let the best man win.

[Weawant]

PSG in the first leg actually also had several opportunities which almost became a goal if they didn't hit the goal post. But somehow PSG seemed to have lost sharpness in completing attacks. Dortmund made more attacks that could endanger PSG's goal. So the score of 1-0 was very appropriate. And yes, in the second leg we will definitely see PSG who are much more aggressive. because in the second leg PSG must catch up by scoring at least 2 goals and not conceding. The position as host can be an advantage and PSG must make good use of it.

PSG for me I still believe can still get to be able to qualify for the finals of the champions league as they actually did to qualifying for the semi finals, it was almost same scenario with Barcelona where the happened to have lost the first leg and the second leg they were able to make up for it so I doubt if this time they would be too lax enough to allowing Dortmund get to stop them nevertheless isn't a guarantee.

If PSag gets to qualify for this finals, it will be one of the times they have been able to qualify for the finals of the champions league, although they weren't able to win the trophy but then they making it to the finals is already considered a big advantage because it's not an easy thing as most teams aswell wished to have been there but ended up in the group stage and some even at the semi finals, Barcelona wasn't a bad team, even with their performance they weren't doing bad either but then they actually got to the point they weren't able to continue due to circumstances

PSG should be mindful to not let circumstances be the reason they are unable to qualify for the finals of the champions league nd probably get to win the trophy aswell because they have been unable to put up the performance required of them at this point to be able to staying ahead of their opponent in the remaining games of the champions league this season,

I won’t go with what you expect because in reality, it seems very impossible for that to happen but rather what you expect to happen. With the pairings in the semifinals, the bigger and stronger teams are made to okay each other and the weaker teams also made to play one another. Then after that, the best teams in each matchup has the more advantage to advance to the finals of the competition which is Real Madrid and PSG.  I’m not thinking too much of the possibility of seeing a turn around in this game, it could happen but the probability is very low compare to what I already foresee to what the finals will look like.

Bayern vs Dortmund is not going to be interesting as we often see in the Bundesliga they often meet.

Real Madrid vs PSG which obviously Francis' representatives will be clowns and helpless.

Without a doubt, Real Madrid is still the master of the Champions League as the second leg of the match takes Los Blancos to the final.

Between Bayern vs Dortmund and Real Madrid vs PSG, I would like to have a final match between Real Madrid vs PSG because they have more star players. It is more interesting and like a challenging destiny for Mbappe if he will play the final match with PSG against Real Madrid which is likely his next club in a next season.

If he can be a main actor in the final match against Real Madrid and help PSG to win it, he will be a hero in PSG but will cause a lot of emotion in Real Madrid and maybe himself too.

Bayern vs Dortmund is not going to be interesting as we often see in the Bundesliga they often meet.

I don't expect the final between Bayern vs Dortmund to happen because it will be an uninteresting final, indeed in football the impossible can become possible if there is luck. But if this happens, maybe this will be a boring UCL final.

Real Madrid vs PSG which obviously Francis' representatives will be clowns and helpless.

Without a doubt, Real Madrid is still the master of the Champions League as the second leg of the match takes Los Blancos to the final.

This is the final that many people have been waiting for, and the potential for the two teams to meet in the final is very possible. Real Madrid will play the second leg at home, of course the atmosphere of the Santiago Bernabeu will affect the opponent's mentality and raise the enthusiasm of the Real Madrid players, especially since Real Madrid is very ambitious about winning its 15th UCL title. Meanwhile, PSG will of course make a comeback in the second leg because they are playing at home, PSG's performance in the first leg was actually very good, it's just that they were lucky. I think they will correct their mistakes in the second leg and their ambition is also very big to win the UCL title for the first time. So this is the UCL Final that many people are hoping for, in my opinion.

[klidex]

Bayern Munich draw points with Real Madrid and I think that's really a bad one for the Bavarians, allowing Carlo Ancelotti to witnessed draw in the first leg is not always challenging for Los Blancos, Thomas Tuchel should find out what happen to Pep Guardiola. As for the other fixture, Borrusia Dortmund was underrated but looking at their current stats, it portrays their ambition to enter the UEFA Champions League final this season. Edin Terzic will not relent but throws everything valid to push his team to continue winning. They're leading in the first leg of the UCL semi final and this is an advantage for them to push harder for more brilliant results.

Of course, this was a bad result for Bayern Munich, who played as the home club. They should have taken advantage of the opportunity to beat Real Madrid, but instead they only achieved a draw because Real Madrid's attack power increased. When they reached the semifinals, they would use all their abilities to reach the final. and again won the Champions League title for the 14th time and in the second leg Real Madrid will try to beat Bayern Munich at home I have confidence in ensuring Real Madrid qualify. Carlo Ancelotti will break Zinedine Zidane's record if he gives Real Madrid another Champions League title and will be remembered as Real Madrid's best coach if Real Madrid wins the Treble Winners title this season.

It seems that Pep Guardiola's role last season has shifted to Carlo Ancelotti's role this season. Real Madrid has appeared strong in all the competitions it has played in this season and has only suffered 1 defeat in La Liga and even beat Manchester City, which is said to have stronger abilities than Real Madrid. But experience will be an important role in achieving success again and Real Madrid's experience in the Champions League is very good.

I think the ones who have a chance of qualifying for the final are Real Madrid and Dortmund even though PSG still has a chance to beat Dortmund in the second leg but I'm not sure PSG can do that. PSG's mentality is quite bad in the Champions League.

Real Madrid has greater quality and opportunity to appear in the final because the second leg will be played at their home base and it is also difficult to beat Real Madrid when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. Meanwhile, Dortmund must maintain its lead if they want to appear in the final, but if this scenario occurs, Real Madrid will very easily win the UCL trophy this season.

I expect something more challenging in this final (Real Madrid vs PSG) because there will be a different feel, Mbappe will face his prospective new club before officially leaving PSG. Bayern Munich's performance this season is in decline, very different compared to the previous few seasons. The events in 2020 are very difficult to repeat because Real Madrid is in its best performance. I hope Real Madrid can get rid of Bayern Munich and PSG can make a comeback in the second leg because I think the battle between these two teams will be an ideal final in the UCL this time.

at some point, it's not always about individual players and their personalities. No doubt, real Madrid is the favorite of all the four teams that are still in the tournament but let's give Bayern thier accolades cause they've equally played so well in Thier first leg against real Madrid. For Dortmund and PSG, I can't say the same thing because I feel they weren't being clinical with thier play and had several moment when made so many mistakes and that made the match a bit interesting. Mbape tried but wasn't able to play what was expected of him and of course he can't do it all by himself. It would have been an interesting finals to watch if the likes of messi and naymer jnr where still in the PSG team and maybe i would  have anticipated a great finals between PSG and real Madrid but as it stands now, the two teams that will make a great finals would be bayern munich and real madrid but truth is that that wouldn't happen and and we might unfortunately have Bayern playing against PSG in the finals.

PSG has quite good attacking power and we can see that in yesterday's match there were several opportunities, including from Mbappe and Hakimi, both of whom hit the crossbar, which of course means that Dortmund has to tighten up its defensive area if they want a good result for the second leg.

Just one goal lead is not a comfortable lead in the champions league. We have witnessed in the past where a team with four goals lead are still eliminated from the competition when they play in the second leg. This is a very competitive league and the league of champions that is why it is important to score as many goals as possible when you have the chance. The second leg will be full of interesting moments, I can’t wait for it to be played next week to see the teams that will play in the final this year.

Indeed, at the moment one goal is not a very comfortable advantage for Dortmund but it is still much better than Dortmund having no advantage at all, right so we cannot underestimate Dortmund in the second leg because regardless of how big or small the advantage they have on aggregate is still the case. they have an advantage that is the most important in this case. The current situation, the second leg is played at PSG and we see their performance is still extraordinary, it is indeed dangerous but now Dortmund just need to hold them back so they don't score more goals than PSG and that is not an impossible thing to happen especially in the semi-finals now with the strength of the two clubs being almost the same, of course both still have the same momentum, even with the aggregate advantage now, Dortmund is certainly more confident.

Edin Terzic will not relent but throws everything valid to push his team to continue winning. They're leading in the first leg of the UCL semi final and this is an advantage for them to push harder for more brilliant results.

Edin Terzic has been an important coach with remarkable performance this year. Even though they could not deliver what was desired in the league, what they did in the UCL is not easy. They took the lead in the group stage. They passed the qualifications and won 1-0 in the first match of the semi-finals. Even if they lose in the rematch, Edin Terzic and Dortmund should be applauded. When the season started, they didn't even think they would make it out of the UCL group. They came here and misled everyone.
