UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[shinratensei_]

Courtois is back after a very long injury time period. When I saw him on the bench of the first leg game against Bayern Munich I got really surprised. Because they said that he returned but got injured once again. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to play in the remaining games. But here we are. He played for 90 minutes against Cadiz recently. I wonder whether Ancelotti will put him in the starting eleven in the rematch here as well. 

This is an importance match for real madrid and whole players in the club, ancellotti will start curtois in the upcoming game of semifinal against bayern as starting line up since he has been showing very good development with his injury. We have seen that how Bayern Munich is still quite stron, despite having a bad season this year caused by tuchel is trying to push them all in winning this game. I've never felt so bad seeing how Bayern Munich did bottle jobs in almost every competition this season but there is a slightly hope for bayern to get UCL this season and they shall have been doing it to beat madrid in order to get it.
Ancellotti used the La Liga match to determine whether Curtois had fully recovered from his injury and tha's why you were seeing curtois played full game against cadiz and it's satisfied performance by curtois. This is why ancelotti played him entire game against Cadiz and im hoping he will do the same against bayern. Real Madrid will not try to keep him on the bench for so long caused by UCL is a serious game.
We must also be aware of the reality that Real Madrid's defensive line is becoming even stronger with him as a goalkeeper to replace Lunin who was also performing admirably in the previous games when curtois was out due to the injury. It's time for Curtois to return to action.

It looks like there is only Alaba left who is injured at Real Madrid side. This is very positive news for them. Now I expect them to be stronger at defending as Militao is also back in business.    I don't think Bayern Munich will manage to eliminate them at Santiago Bernabeu. I still expect this thing to end in regular time.

Real madrid will be playing with its full squad soon. I'd prefer for madrid to use rudiger instead of militao. It has proven that how rudiger was very effective in stopping the key player from its opponent.
We remember that how haaland and kane faced difficult situation when they were facing rudiger. Im hoping rudiger to be a starting line up for bayern munich soon.

History could repeat itself actually 

The history can repeat, but it also may not repeat. You must know, it is just a prediction. There is nothing very clear about the future.  

Psg coming back once again  just like they did to Barcelona
Realmadrid  could end up loosing  just as Mancity losed at home

PSG surely has a chance, Dortmund is only leading with a single goal. If PSG players can score a quick goal in the next match, PSG even has a better chance to win the match. But if Dortmund players who can score another goal, they must have a higher chance to qualify for the final match. So, it is about how the two teams can optimize the chance of scoring goals in the first half of the next match.

Why Real Madrid must repeat the bad history of Man City? It is Real Madrid, not Man City, dude!!  
Real Madrid knows well how to deal with bad situation in UCL. They already experienced too many bad situations and they can end up with happy ending.
I think it is about the winning mentality. This is something that Man City players don't have.

Or we could just experience a whole phase of playing  although we know those that have the upper hands  already , maybe we need some proofing  and we might not be quick in judging 

I don't judge too early, it is just my own prediction based on some reasons.
We don't need the proof, it won't help anything. Even if we have many proof, it may not determine the result of the match.
What we can do now is predicting with our own theory. I think it is okay as long as we don't claim it as an exact matter.  

[Silence Scream]

You say cruising? Madrid are coming stronger and well tactically inclined more than ever. I watched their last match with Bayern, they played confidently but not with the sole aim to win the game, they just wanted at the lowest a draw while away and they secured the result. For Bayern coming down to Santiago Bernabeu is a bigger threat, winning Madrid In Santiago will be as a result of penalty shootout  or a last minute goal after several extra time.

If Bayern also love to win Madrid, they should aswell try to play some outside box shot, trying to play the ball inside Madrid box is difficult to keep up with, Madrid got really good defenders that makes it difficult to penetrate that easily. Bayern are left with this only opportunity to win a trophy or go trophyless this season because they already lost the Bundeslisga title to Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga giant and Real Madrid will face each other in the mid-week at Santiago Bernabéu. It's going to be one of the top matches that will either results to credibilities. Bayern Munich have always been a headache for Real Madrid but we know the Spanish giant always finds way to put them in their place. Real Madrid is the most formidable team in the UEFA Champions League this season and the next. Los Blancos have done their best to equipped their performance with instant evident results.

At least they were undefeated in Germany in the first match. Things will be a little easier in Spain. Real Madrid has the power to destroy any team. Bayern is also full of surprises. Can he win in Spain? Real will probably win, but when it comes to Bayern, I can't help but wonder if there will be a surprise.

[Google+]

I believe anything can happen in football, but on paper Real Madrid is still the top team in the second leg. The different performances between these two teams can be predicted where the match will lead, Real Madrid's stability and consistency can control the match easily and what benefits Real Madrid the most is the support from its supporters. Bayern Munich could make a surprise, but the chances are very small. The results of the last match can be used as a reference for this match. Real Madrid, who are always diligent in breaking into the opponent's goal, had no difficulty beating Bayern Munich, who had just been humiliated by Stuttgart with a score of 3-1.

The second leg will be a game of life and death for both teams, currently Madrid is indeed the favorite to win over Munich, but of course it does not guarantee Madrid victory can be obtained easily, Madrid have high motivation to be able to do like what they did in the game against Manchester City so I think the match will be a high-intensity match,  Moreover, Madrid will play in front of their supporters, but I think Munich also come with high confidence after they managed to hold Madrid to a draw in the first leg, this season we admit Munich performance is far from good but still we cannot underestimate them when currently playing in the semi-finals.


The 3-1 defeat to Stuttgart certainly indicates that Bayern Munich performance in the league is very bad, but should we underestimate them in the Champions League later?
Of course not friend, Munich no longer have the targets they need to pursue in the league so they no longer play optimally in the game, besides that didn't Munich field almost all of their reserve players in the game? And it means that if Munich keep their main players for the game against Madrid in the second leg, Munich only focus their target in the Champions League at the moment so that it will make Bayern Munich motivation so great that it is difficult to say if Madrid will be able to beat Munich easily later.

Football is full of surprises and let's hope to one by tomorrow or next. If Bayern will be able to surprise the world then it will be a big shock to me because, I have never considered Bayern to be in the finals while Real Madrid goes is not. Real Madrid is the league favorite, apart from that they are playing at home giving them a higher odds of winning the match.

Real Madrid have good strikers and the players are ready for the match. It will be good if Bayern does not relent in scoring back any goal scored by Real Madrid, or better still let Bayern try to score first, because if they allow Real Madrid score and they fail to equalize the goal immediately, Madrid might score the second goal.

There is a lot of talk about Real Madrid cruising in the second game. They do look good for it, but it's football, so anything can happen! Of course, they've been more stable in La Liga than Bayern has been in the Bundesliga, and being at home at the Bernabeu is a big plus. But what do you know? Few people may think it will be as easy as I think it will be. Bayern has a strong will to win, and even though they've lost recently, they don't give up easy. I think Ancelotti might be trying new things again, which could work out great or badly. I think Real Madrid will win, but Bayern could also pull off an upset.

Real Madrid, who are always diligent in breaking into the opponent's goal, had no difficulty beating Bayern Munich, who had just been humiliated by Stuttgart with a score of 3-1.

well, even though football or any sport can provide unexpected surprises, in fact Real Madrid is much more perfect in terms of player quality and also mentally Madrid players are much more accustomed to experience which gives a greater boost of self confidence and on the one hand the game home provides greater strength to beat Bayern Munich with a bigger score.
one visible difference that we may not be aware of is only in Real Madrid defense with Bayern Munich and we all know how bad Munich has been recently, conceding more often, even in domestic matches they were beaten by a slightly big score and that is a sign of Munich weakness which will not happen. able to withstand attacks from his opponent.

meanwhile, Real Madrid has high quality main and second tier players and is very ready to accept pressure from Bayern Munich because Ancelotti previously knew that Munich was in a bad condition at the moment so he knew the weaknesses that Munich had and would be defeated in the second leg.
from temporary speculation I guessed that the score would end 2-1

Real Madrid somewhat overcame a difficult challenge at the Allianz Arena in the middle of last week. With a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Bayern Munich is the team that will be under more pressure in the upcoming trip to Santiago Bernabeu. Playing at home, Real Madrid will certainly be much more explosive than the first leg, where Allianz Arena created a pressure-filled atmosphere. The psychology of Real players is even higher when they have just won the La Liga championship 4 rounds early. This is a big mental boost for Real players. On the contrary, Bayern did not prepare well. Coach Thomas Tuchel and his team suddenly lost 1-3 to Stuttgart, and could even lose 2nd place in the Bundesliga to this opponent. Bayern also shows fragility in defense, so there is a high possibility that Real Madrid will overcome Bayern to win and advance to the Champions League final.

Dortmund only narrowly won 1 - 0 when they faced PSG in the first leg. I think PSG can still catch up where previously PSG lost to Barcelona 3 - 2, but in the second leg, PSG was able to reply easily. I don't think Dortmund is as calm as you think. Still one goal difference is not difficult for PSG, currently of course PSG only needs to learn from the failure in the first leg match where they have to look for gaps in the second leg match to be able to score lots of goals against Dortmund in order to qualify for the UCL final.

I know that it is not easy to do because Dortmund will of course fight hard to play defensively because they only need a draw. Dortmund can qualify for the UCL final, but besides that, PSG will not let the final result be a draw, of course they want to score more goals for beat the goal difference from the aggregate of the previous first leg match, at least PSG must win by a difference of two goals, for example 3 - 1 is more than enough, I'm sure both of them will score goals and Dortmund will also play out attacking rather than playing defensively because that won't save them play defense. but both will definitely score.

  PSG will be the more pressured team in this round because of the great number of stars in their squad and because of this the hopes of seeing them in the final is great and they’re unluckily a goal down. Dortmund doesn’t seem to pose much of a challenge but they can be the surprise team in the final this season too especially as they’re leading the encounter with a lone goal.

 ⁠After the PSG and Barca game, you’ll understand that it’s not fully over for psg as they can still be able to overturn the lead as it’s just a one goal lead and they have done it before. They can rely on that victory and get the resilience spirit to overturn Dortmund’s lead in the second leg. ⁠Dortmud are well composed defensively and this should be PSG major worry as they might not be able to score great goals.

 This great goals will help PSG be able to qualify sharperly for the finals rather than passing through stress of extra time. So this is going to make this semi final one thrilling one as we look forward to what the encounter holds. The chances of both team going through is really great but I think the major challenge is for PSG to be able to qualify and that will keep them pressing more on Dortmund. This will make this finals one thrilling one and one we look up to.

[Synchronice]

Am I the only one who found it very strange that bookmakers are significantly favoring PSG in PSG - Dortmund match? The odds of PSG to win are 1.45, draw odds are 4.50 and odds for Dortmund are as high as 7.0
I wouldn't anticipate Dortmund that much, I think that Dortmund will win or PSG will win with 1 goal surplus and final result will be draw and then we will have penalties. My vote goes to Dortmund but I want PSG to win too because of Mbappe, I just think that Dortmund will outweigh them.

Real vs Bayern is very interesting match, probably the most interesting. If it was Barcelona vs Bayern, we all will know the result, Bayern München is a nightmare for Barcelona. But since Real is too good and Bayern failed to win at home, they aren't going to win in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Probably an easy win for Real Madrid.

[rendravolt]

Bayern Munich will likely still be busy as they will be under a lot of pressure in playing the second leg at home to Real Madrid and on the other hand they will still try to finish in second place in the domestic league. Things will become complicated if Bayern Munich's targets disappear one by one this season and they will have to try harder if they want to turn things around against Real Madrid.

So true. That's tuchel's job in order to reduce the pressure from real madrid when it will be playing at santiago bernabeu. Tuchel must be making a proper preparation in order for the club will able to beat madrid at away game.
Away game is obviously giving a very big pressure to the performance from the club.

It will drain a lot of energy from the players on both sides and we will see an exciting match if the result is a draw again. Here it is clear that Real Madrid will be very strong no matter who the opponent is and on the other hand, Bayern Munich is like prey ready to be eaten at any time.

Tuchel doesn't need to be confused and feel guilty even though he won't be able to reach the final round of the Champions League considering that all levels of the club already know that his performance cannot be a mainstay this season and perhaps he has also resigned himself to the embarrassment of criticism from Bayern Munich fans. Even so, just being able to qualify for the semifinals is already a good record for Tuchel.

The second leg certainly belongs to Real Madrid, I agree with what you said, even though in the first leg Bayern Munich controlled the game, Real Madrid was able to take advantage of opportunities as effectively as possible until it ended 2-2. We know that Bayern Munich actually appeared impressive in the first leg, but unfortunately they were unable to take advantage of the opportunities well. However, in the second leg it will be a different story, of course Real Madrid will perform well, especially getting encouragement from their own supporters, plus Real Madrid in the domestic match just beat Cadiz and confirmed themselves as Laliga champions and Bayern Munich actually lost to Stuttgart. This proves that Real Madrid is better prepared for the second leg than Bayern Munich.

Moreover, in the history of the UCL league, believe it or not, any team that can beat the defending champion, that team will become the next UCL champion. Whether you realize it or not, what is unique about this season is that Real Madrid faces three German representatives at once in the UCL League, in the group stage against Union Berlin, in the round of 16 against RB Leipzig, and in the semifinals against Bayern Munich. It is not impossible that in the final Real Madrid will face Dortmund (if they beat PSG), and in the European super final you will meet Leverkusen (if Lverkusen wins the Europa League).

[fullhdpixel]

Bayern Munich have many experienced and star players who did played many important matches, tournaments in their career and they will be able to control themselves well against pressure of Real Madrid and fans at Bernabeu stadium. It's never easy to play at Bernabeu stadium but Bayern Munich won't be easily beaten or collapsed there.

There are many players in Bayern Munich want to win Champions League, a first one in their career like Harry Kane who will be one of most dangerous attacking players against Real Madrid's defense system.

It is true that experience will play a major role in this second games but to be fair they are not playing against inexperienced players, they are playing against Real Madrid, who has a title very recently, so they are playing against a team that is not doing all that bad on experience themselves as well.

Experience matters when you have it and the other side doesn't have it, but when you have it both then it doesn't really matter because then you are all on the same equal chances. In fact, Kane is the most important player by the looks of it for Bayern, and he doesn't have any experience of lifting a trophy before, he played at UCL at this stage before, but I do not think that it would be fair to say Bayern has a lot more experience.

But since Real is too good and Bayern failed to win at home, they aren't going to win in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Probably an easy win for Real Madrid.

I think it's very natural, PSG are very favorites because their chances of winning this match are very big, it's all because of what happened in the first leg, even though they played at Dortmund's home ground, PSG's performance was very impressive even though they lost by 1 goal. I don't think it's a big loss, but because PSG lost in the first leg, their chances of winning the second leg are much greater.
PSG, who will play at home, will of course play much more persistently, so that's why they are very favorites to win this second leg match.

Against Real Madrid it is always difficult for Bayern, and it is very likely that Bayern will not do much in this second leg, I also think that Real Madrid will be able to win easily.

I have the same thought as you, but maybe they (the bookie) have a different view so they give odds like that to Paris Saint Germain and Borussia Dortmund. However, in my opinion, Borussia Dortmund's success in beating Paris Saint Germain in the first leg could make their chances different to what we see now, so it's a little strange when you see it.

Of course, this match will be interesting, because both teams will play their best in this match. When they are in the semifinals, they will try to maximize every match. REal Madrid have confirmed themselves as champions in La Liga, so they will focus on the Champions League match, while Bayern Munich has ended the Bundesliga in failure this season, so they will focus on fighting for the Champions League title, because this is the only hope for them to get a degree. If they fail in the Champions League this season, then they will definitely be without the title.

The different performances between these two teams can be predicted where the match will lead, Real Madrid's stability and consistency can control the match easily and what benefits Real Madrid the most is the support from its supporters. Bayern Munich could make a surprise, but the chances are very small. The results of the last match can be used as a reference for this match. Real Madrid, who are always diligent in breaking into the opponent's goal, had no difficulty beating Bayern Munich, who had just been humiliated by Stuttgart with a score of 3-1.

Talking about this, of course anything can happen in football, we all cannot be sure whether a team can play as we predict or not. But we will predict based on their current game and performance, so that is a different thing in my opinion.
Real Madrid are a better team than Bayern Munich this season, I think we can all agree on that. In this way, we will make Real Madrid the main favorite in this match. Even if Bayern Munich can provide a surprise or something like that and make Real Madrid lose this match, then that is also something that could happen.
But once again we definitely do analysis and make predictions based on what we see at the moment and we also know that Real Madrid has been the main favorite from the start.

[Blitzboy]

Real Madrid have good advantage on that day because they are playing at home, and they will be motivated by their fans, while Bayern might be intimidated by their host fans. Bayern Munich should not be estimated, and I know that Ancelotti will never do that. Bayern can still perform very well away from home, who knows if the match might end in a penalty shootout.

However, from the recent performance of Real Madrid, I don't think that a draw will be their aim but winning the match will be their target, and Ancelotti knows the kind of strategy that he would use. I will place my bet on Real Madrid to win the match just for fun.

On paper, Real Madrid deserves to be the favorite in the second leg match. This does not mean underestimating Bayern Munich strength, because acting as host is certainly very profitable for Real Madrid. Apart from that, ahead of the second leg match, Real Madrid appeared more consistent in La Liga, while Bayern Munich suffered another defeat in the Bundesliga. Although domestic competition cannot be used as a complete reference, it will more or less have an impact on their match in the Champions League. Real Madrid in many ways looks better prepared to advance to the final, and Ancelotti will most likely experiment again with his main lineup, which in my opinion did not work optimally in the first leg. It is true that there is a possibility that the winner will have to be determined through a penalty shootout, but the greater possibility is that Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich in normal time. There is news that two Bayern Munich defenders are currently injured, this is of course very detrimental for Tuchel, but for Real Madrid it is certainly beneficial.

You say cruising? Madrid are coming stronger and well tactically inclined more than ever. I watched their last match with Bayern, they played confidently but not with the sole aim to win the game, they just wanted at the lowest a draw while away and they secured the result. For Bayern coming down to Santiago Bernabeu is a bigger threat, winning Madrid In Santiago will be as a result of penalty shootout  or a last minute goal after several extra time.

If Bayern also love to win Madrid, they should aswell try to play some outside box shot, trying to play the ball inside Madrid box is difficult to keep up with, Madrid got really good defenders that makes it difficult to penetrate that easily. Bayern are left with this only opportunity to win a trophy or go trophyless this season because they already lost the Bundeslisga title to Leverkusen.

I agree that Madrid seemed passive versus Bayern. I adore high-scoring thrillers more than anyone. However, Real Madrid is smart. They've mastered the underdog technique of playing away and drawing. The long game is their specialty. The Bernabeu is a fortress. Madrid transforms at home. Bayern will struggle to break down that defense. Madrid's holdout? Its smart and safe. They capitalize on penalties and counterattacks, which has made them champions so many times.

Bayern must adjust tactics. Long shots may be their only hope. We know bulldozing Madrid's defense wont work. This Champions League run is over until they become inventive or find a new angle.

Am I the only one who found it very strange that bookmakers are significantly favoring PSG in PSG - Dortmund match? The odds of PSG to win are 1.45, draw odds are 4.50 and odds for Dortmund are as high as 7.0

I don’t find it strange at all and bookmakers have their reasons for making it that way, if you check properly you will notice alot of things that gives PSG the advantage to turn around the 1 goal lead Dortmund have over them. Firstly, PSG will be playing at home which is a huge advantage to them then again they are more experienced in the competition, have more experienced players and have more quality players compared to Dortmund and again looking at it 1 goal lead is not a big advantage at all especially with Mbappe around.

If you feel the bookmakers are mistaken then you can go ahead and bet on Dortmund if you are so sure.

I wouldn't anticipate Dortmund that much, I think that Dortmund will win or PSG will win with 1 goal surplus and final result will be draw and then we will have penalties. My vote goes to Dortmund but I want PSG to win too because of Mbappe, I just think that Dortmund will outweigh them.

I don’t agree but lets just wait and see the results. I feel PSG will win at their own home  game too but i am not sure the number of goals.

[naira]

At least they were undefeated in Germany in the first match. Things will be a little easier in Spain. Real Madrid has the power to destroy any team. Bayern is also full of surprises. Can he win in Spain? Real will probably win, but when it comes to Bayern, I can't help but wonder if there will be a surprise.

Real Madrid somewhat overcame a difficult challenge at the Allianz Arena in the middle of last week. With a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Bayern Munich is the team that will be under more pressure in the upcoming trip to Santiago Bernabeu. Playing at home, Real Madrid will certainly be much more explosive than the first leg, where Allianz Arena created a pressure-filled atmosphere. The psychology of Real players is even higher when they have just won the La Liga championship 4 rounds early. This is a big mental boost for Real players. On the contrary, Bayern did not prepare well. Coach Thomas Tuchel and his team suddenly lost 1-3 to Stuttgart, and could even lose 2nd place in the Bundesliga to this opponent. Bayern also shows fragility in defense, so there is a high possibility that Real Madrid will overcome Bayern to win and advance to the Champions League final.

Just reflecting on Madrid home match against Manchester City made it difficult for Pep Guardiola to win. So it is not impossible that Bayern Munich will also experience the same thing, where Ancelotti will definitely focus on the back line to remain solid. Moreover, this is about the battle towards the final which is more exciting in intensity, I will of course support the host's victory. Regarding the defeat to Stuttgart, since Leverkusen won the Bundesliga trophy, the motivation of the Bayern Munich players has been in disarray. It is not surprising that Stuttgart was able to silence Tuchel troops mercilessly.

[Cryptmuster]

It cannot be denied that this will be very difficult for Bayern because Real Madrid is quite strong when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially now that Real Madrid is in high confidence after securing the La Liga title and also a draw in the first leg at Bayern Munich's home ground makes it easier for Real Madrid to win. can turn things around in this second leg.

Of course there is still a chance for Bayern or Real Madrid but we also have to predict this realistically and I think Real Madrid will be able to win easily at home and with the quality they have, I don't doubt that.

Just one match, the advantage for Real will be that the match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real have not lost a single match at home this season. In this case, victory for Bayern looks very difficult to achieve, and it seems that Real Madrid currently have a better chance of reaching the final. What can Tuchel come up with that could surprise Real, and will he try to press, or will he choose a defensive strategy this time, although this is unlikely to work against Real.

Real Madrid somewhat overcame a difficult challenge at the Allianz Arena in the middle of last week. With a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Bayern Munich is the team that will be under more pressure in the upcoming trip to Santiago Bernabeu. Playing at home, Real Madrid will certainly be much more explosive than the first leg, where Allianz Arena created a pressure-filled atmosphere. The psychology of Real players is even higher when they have just won the La Liga championship 4 rounds early. This is a big mental boost for Real players. On the contrary, Bayern did not prepare well. Coach Thomas Tuchel and his team suddenly lost 1-3 to Stuttgart, and could even lose 2nd place in the Bundesliga to this opponent. Bayern also shows fragility in defense, so there is a high possibility that Real Madrid will overcome Bayern to win and advance to the Champions League final.

I'd u are talking about Bayern Munich loss over the weekend I think it's more of a strategic thing than just a mare losses but then I see tuchel playing cheese at this point because that loss may later tell on them if eventually they get to loose out in the champions league games of which their opponent isn't relenting as they want to make sure they get at least two trophies this season so it would have been better Munich made sure to still secure their domestic league position.

Real Madrid is currently with a good psychology as their confidence will probably bet at its peak in the fact that they had enjoyed a week long of victory alongside securing a trophy, all this actually comes together for a morale boost but for Munich it's a different case as all their efforts seem to be geared towards preparations but then it's still not enough to just getting prepared because no amount of preparations can ever be enough except they eventually get lucky then they can say their preparations were solid but then Madrid always have a very different and sound mentality playing from home so I don't know if Munich will be able to deal with that well enough.

Somehow like you rightly stated some of the pressure will have it's shift to Munich but then hopefully they will be able to absorb it and not let it be a determining factor to their performance because this game is a determinant of what their fate will be in the champions league this season, personally considering all the factors both teams have advantages at some point and aswell have their disadvantages aswell so I will just keep an open mind and hope the best team wins.
